WEEGHMAN DENIES CHANCE IS
TO MANAGE CUBS
BY Mark Shields

denies UnequiVOcaIly that Frank
Chance is to return here as manager
of the Cubs. This is the 'steenth time
the North Side executive has branded
the report false, and he grows more
emphatic each time.
From Los Angeles comes a report
ed interview with Chance, in which
the P. L. says he has received a re-
quest from the Cubs for his terms on
a twO-year contract. He has sent his
price, which is said to be in the
neighborhood of $5O,OOO for the pair
Of seasons.
There are the two sides of the
story. Which do you prefer to take?
Our end is Weeghman's. He says
friends of Chance on the coast are
keeping alive the report of his return
to big company, and they have moth
ing from him on which to base their
efforts.
Chance, the. P. L. of the old Cub
machine, was the daddy of them all.
He had a crew of athletes who knew
baseball, and he drove them to the
limit for all they knew about the
game. He was a success. Then he
went back to the coast.
New York Yankee money brought
him back to the majors and he tried
for two seasons to make a winner
out of the raft of material handed
him. Finally he gave it up as a hope
less task, with the comment that he
could drive players who knew the
game, but couldn't develop a team.
And that is exactly what he would
have to do on the North Side in
1917. The team is in the process Of
and experiments will
be made in several positions. It is a
job for builder, a patient man who
will try any expedient in order finally
to whip together squad Of winning
strength.

Whether Tinker can do that is
something Of a problem. He will
have a better chance than last sea-
son. Chance admits that the task
would be beyond him and something
he does not care for. The day when
a team can be a drawing card be-
cause of the prestige of its pilot is
past. The day of the individual star
is also waning. Fans now want to
see a winning team, a team that is
good for at least a small majority of
its games, and they don't care wheth-
er the fellows were obscure the sea-
son before.
Tinker is back in the city and does
not seem bothered about his future.
He indicates that he has some kind

OutfieIder MeuseI, a recruit who is
to report to the Cubs, has received
orders from Dave Fultz, head of the
Players Fraternity, not to sign
contract. Meusel is a member of the
executive committee of the frater-
pity. This is the first actual step in
the Tumored strike of players. They
do not like some things in the pres
ent contracts.
A meeting Of the national commits
sion will be held in the offices of
President Johnson of the American

Oregon To Be Asked to
Confer With Funston

MEXICO CITY, April 23.-Special
Agent Rodgers today plans to hand the
Carranza government note from Sec
rotary of State Lansing, suggesting that
Minister of War Obregon meet General
Funston at some point on the border
to discuss questions connected with the
American expedition.
Rodgers learned yesterday that this
suggestion probably will be accepted by
the Carranza government. General
Obregon plans to leave for the north
tomorrow with full power to deal with
the question of provisioning the Ameri-
can troops and limiting their sphere OF
action.
FL Pueblo, one of the semi official
newspapers. published an editorial to-
day, expressing the hope that the United
States will soon withdraw her troops
from Mexico, and declaring that In any
event General CarranZa will have the
support of the entire nation.
