WILLIAMS PAYS
FRANK CHANCE
HIGH TRIBUTE
BY HARRY A. WILLIAMS
President Pacikc Coast League
(Written for the Unitel Press)

Los ANGELES, Sept. ls.-Frank
Chance is dead. All that is mortal
of the "peerless leader" was today
laid to rest.
But that which was hurled today
was only the husk Of chance. His
spirit will live as long as baseball
survives.
Chance ranked with such mana
gers as MeGraw, Mack, Jennings,
Clark, Robinson. Moran, Hanlon and
Salee. In 4 way he was n more
vivid figure than these because as
playing manager of the Cubs
he literally fought at the head of
his troops to four National League
championships and two world titles.
Many will recall Chance as the
California Sandlotter. Later he be-
came one of tine greatest first base
men of all time, and his work as
manager of the Cubs has never been
surpassed.
Chance made enemies. rs do all
fighters. But all learned to be his
friends later. Thus is brought home
to us the pettiness and futility of
nearly all disagreements. 1t is
doubtful whether any man ever had
a real grievance against Chance.
Chickering's have been the bane
of baseball. Standing beside the
bier of the fallen leader in the sub
dued shadows of today would be a
good time for all men in baseball to
take an inventory of their real or
alleged grievances. Baseball is a
hing of give and take. Most of
its aIsagreements are superficial.
Were Chance, standing on the
other side of eternity, able to send
back a message, it probably would
be: :" Baseball is mans game. Ask
and expect no special favors, play
no special favors, play the part and,
lbove all, avoid petty differences"

farm lands in the year 1919 was
equalized 3S4 percent higher than in
the year 1918. The assessed valua-
ton of all other property was equal
lied 1863 percent higher in 1919 tEan
in the year 1918. The increase on
farm lands was 200 percent higher
than the net increase on all other
classes of property. The valuation
Of farm lands increased from S22l,-
459,525 to 1912, ,653. The valu-
alton of all other property increased
from $l67 1881 to $3.50 ,469, 5S1. The
assessed valuation of railroad prop
erty in 1919 was increased 229 per-
cent as compared with the year
1918, while farm lands were increased
384 percent
There has been a reshfting of
burden from 1923 tax laws, according
to Mr.. Baker. The main result aimed
at, he said, was to equaliZe the bur,
den between farm lands and other
classes of property. As a result the
burden of state taxes alone on farm,
lands in 1923 as compared to 1922
has been reduced from $3,273 900 to
$2,477 900, or S796 900 less state taxes
paid on farm lands. The estimated
reduction of taxation on farm lands
in 1923, including local taxes. is
r about 81 100000 he saws.
