BASEBALL CHANGED
SINCE OLDEN DAYS
Frank Chance Says Single
Score Is Nothing Now.

Frank Leroy Chance, who was CORA
PEELED to give up the management aT
the Chicago White Sex on account 81
IN health remarked before leaving for
the West that baseball had changed
greatly since the days of the greas
Cub machine that he piloted to four
pennants and two worlds champion
ships. And he spoke mouthful ina -
few words.
Chance was in position to note
the vast change because of the fact
that he was away from the game ger
long period. His last fling before
what everybody figured would be his
swan song in the majors was with the
Yankees In 1914 and from then untSi
he returned TO manage the Red Sox iFa
1923 he was total stranger to the
big time game During that perio6
pitching went into "A decline and hit-
ting became the paramount feature og

Where Chance noticed the difference
upon his return a year ago was i'm the
matter Of playing for runs. When he
and his Cub wreckers were In their

Memorial Day

Gather the garlands rare today,
Snow white roses and roses red;
Gather the fairest flowers OF May.
Heap them up on the graves OF clay,
GLADDEN. the graves Of the noble dead
Pile them high as the soldiers were
Piled on the field, where they fought
and fell;
They will rejoice in their new place
there
Today. as they walk where the fragrant
air
Is sweet with the scent Of asphodel.
Many time, I've heard IT said.
They fen so thick where the battles
were.
Their hot blood rippled. and, running
red
Ran out like a rin from the drifted
staining the heath and the daisies
there.
This day the friends Of the soldiers
keep.
And they will keep It through all
the years,
VIII come with flowers to watch and
weep
And water the garlands with their
tears.
-Cy warman.

Babe Ruth Contends
Hitting VIII Decide

Babe Ruth is inclined to be
lieTe that all the talk about
revival of baserunning is the
bunk.
1.-THE pennant in the two major
leagues this year is going to be
won By the club that can make
base hits in the old pinch rather
than stealing second more often
than the opposition.
"Speed is desirable asset in
ball player, hut not so much
merely to steal bases as to take
advantage Of the opportunities
that are offered in the field as
well as on the bases.
with the lively bah still in
use, few ball games are going
to be decided by a one-run mar
gin. Stealing second base is a
one-run system,
1.-THE pitching in both major
leagues must get much tighter
before base running becomes a
big factor IN deciding bah
games"
