Chance went back to California

came back that he would be unable
to join the club in spring practice.
The result was that the SoX did not
get tust the practice that had been
mapped out for them. At the start
John Evers was in charge, but he
did not know what to do all the time
because he kept expecting Chance to
show up and did not want to enter
upon anything that would conflict
with Chances ideas.
Finally Chance announced that he
would not be able to manage the
team at all. Evers was imm ediately
named manager, but conditions were
not what they would have been had
he been in full charge all the time.
