Rivalry was keen between the young
fellows. who We're of approximately the
same age; il amounted almost to Il
passion. Time passed and Chance seem
ed to be the favored of fortune. He
became the manager of the club and
Wolverton had passed into other fields.
For years the name of Chance was
kept before the public. too, but the
mention of his name didn't carry with
it the same significance.
