gle to the outfield. Hap Felsch.
who handled the ball, made a won.
derful throw to Che plate.
Ray Schalk, taking daring
chance, so blocked PeckInpaugh
that he was unable to get into the
plate. The ball, which arrived a
trifle. Of a second after Peck had
slid into schalk, got away from the
Sox's great little catcher.
Schalk, however, never gave up,
and In some way managed To hold
Peck away from the plate until he
recovered the ball and touched tina
runner.
1 ruled that Peck had the right
to score, since Schalk had blocked
him from the plate without having
the ball In his possession.
While such claims are ofteo
made, such decision is q rather
unusual one. However, in this case
there was no doubt in my mind,
felt that Peck was entitled to
score.
Chance. who had been coaching
at third, not knowing that had
ruled Peck safe, rushed up to the
plate to protest SchaIk's blocking
Of the runner.
When he realized had ruled
Peck safe. he simply turned on bis
heel and walked back to third
base. ~ q
The next day one Of the New
York players remarked to me:

Frank Chance is a man of strong

manage a club, he does that very
thing. He is master OF all he sur.

any one and woe to the player WHO
fails to obey orders.
Chance is a regular he.mau. The
player who is a regular fellow and
obeys rules never, hears from
Chance. With the baseball frater.

none Of the fourflush about Chance
he is either for you or against you

A Famous Trade.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. Septem-
Der 11.-This is the day of the pri-

Most of the voting in the upper sec

done between and O'Clock, this
section being inhabited for the most
part by federal employees. The most
interesting fight perhaps is in the
democratic party. where William
Cabell Bruce of Baltimore, David J.
Lewis of Cumberland and William l.
Norris of Baltimore are staging
triangular fight for the senatorial
nomination to succeed Senator Jo-
seph 1. France, republican. So far as
Prince Georges county is concerned.
Bruce appears to have a distinct ad-
vantage inaSmuch as he has the or
ganiZation back of him and appar-
emily is the only candidate who has
any funds working.
There is some Bruce money in the
county, while Lewis and Norris ap-
pear to be without it.
Senator Joseph I. France and John
W. Garrett are fighting it out for the
republican senatorial nomination.
With but few exceptions all of the
leading republican politicians are
backing France, and it seems certain
that he will receive a large majority
over Garrett in Prince Georges county.
The congressional scrap is apparently
between Clarence NJ. Roberts of Land
