HUSTON'S EXIT AND CHANGES ENTRY MAY DRAW TANKS AND S0X CLOSER

That the conin of Frank Chance as manager of the Boston Red SoN and the almost coincident departure of Col. T. L. Huston as half owner or the Yankees may have an apprecia- ble effect or the alleged working agreement between the two clubs is indicated by the developments Of the last several days. It is barely posst- ble that the last of those famous or infamous Boston New York deals" has been transacted
 As late as 24 hours ago. Ed Bar row, business manager of the Yan- kees, is said to have made, another attempt to send Norman McMillan and "a suitable cash token of his es- teem to Boston for Herb Pennock, the left handler. Harry Frazee would have none of it. He is said to have demanded players.
 A demand upon the Yankees, com ing from F'razee, is alno ost reVolu tionary. Heretofore it has been his custom to sell them anything they asked for whether it was the great est homerun hitter of all time or the right to enter his theatre by the stage door. It was all one to Frazee. Yankee money was keeping him in baseball and every time the whip cracked he rolled obediently over and

GOLF CHAT FOR
 THE FAIR SEX
By MURIEL G. WICKENDEN. Girl Golf Champion of Enoland

Tunbridge Wells, England, Dec. 2s. From what I have seen of a good many women golfers the chief fault seems to be a tendency to overswing This Is fatel and is ceused by bending the left arm on the back swing and slackening the grip of the right hand at the top of the swing. The mora one overswin,s the more power one loses and consequently the less dis tance one covers. The club should never be beyond the horizontal aA the top of swing with a driver. Then from the top of the swing 1t js absolutely essential that the club should lead Try to feel that from the top one is throwing the head of the club away by starting it off with the right hand. Unless the club head leads the hand ands arms get in too soon and consequently the whole shot is mistimed- A successful drive de bends almost entirely on the aceu- racy of the back swing If this is correct the follow through comes naturally. The use of the hips is a very important point in driving. So many women use the hips we'll going back. but coming through they tend Q stiffen the right leg instead of bending the right knee and raising he heel well off the ground.

played dead.
 At that time, however, he was playing around with figurehead man. agers who might bleat piteously over the departure of one star after an- other but carried the matter no fur ther. Frank Chance, the two o-handed gentleman from California, is not the type to submit gracefully to the bus- mess of selling a ball club from un- der his feet. The chances are good that when he signed a contract with Frazee, d provision was written into 1t calling for Chance to do all the trading and selling around Fenway Park, Boston.
 Unfortunately there ds little to trade or sell in that vicinity now. Just a franchise, a baseball park and a few spavined ball players The Yankees have picked the carcass al- mos& clean.
 Nearly all the picking in the past was done by Col. Huston, who could and did out-talk Frazee in every Ideal" that was consummated. Now, however Huston has gone and Chance has arrived. Perhaps that means a change for the better in the official relations between the two clubs.

while pushing a freight train near Narberth, Pa, the steam locomotive at the head of the train stopped for a danger signal. The big electric en- zine however, did not receive the stop" indication in time, with the result that three freight cars were crushed like cacordions before it's brakes took hold. On other occa- sions it has squeezed cars out Of trains sharp curves when the steam engine at the front of the train was not pulling hard enough.
 The locom otive operates on a sim gle phase current of 1000 volts, 25 cycles, through an overhead trolley. It has four motors, developing to- tai of 4,S00 hOrSep ower- There are six driving axles, with 72-inch wheels, and two speeds at which it operates 10 and 20 miles an hour.
