Frank Chance Will Manage Boston American League Club This Coming Season
Signing of Former New York
Yank and Chicago Cub Pilot
First Step in Reconstruction
Former Major Leaguer Returns to National Pastime as One
of Most Popular Players Game Ever Knew—Has Repu*
tation as Great Field General and Strategist—
Was With Cubs for 15 Years.
New York, Dec. 11— Frank Leroy Chance, former manager of the
( ht'-ago Nationals and tho New York Americans, today signed a contract to
•r manage the Host on American league club for 1923.
!'H\NK CHANCE
Official announcement of the consummation of the
ileal was made by il. H. Frazee, president of the Red
Sox, from his New York office.
The Heston owner also said that the engagement ot
Chance marked the first step in the reconstruction of the
Red Sox. Every effort will be made to strengthen the
team by trade and purchase in order to make it a factor
in future pennant races. Chance will have full authority
and control tn rebuilding the club and may appear In
playing uniform on the coaching lines. He will not,
however, engage in actual play.
Chance expressed his keen pleasure upon re-entering
major league baseball and stated that, having disposed of
his real estate interests at Glendora, Cal., ho expected
to make his home in the east for the future.
The signing of Chance by the Red Sox brings back to
the national game one of the most popular and dynamic
personalities the game has ever known. As first base
man and "peerless leader a decade or more ago or the lamous Chicago
Cubs—national league champions four times and world's champions twice—
( ham < i suililish 's a brilliant reputa-0
ii, a not oitl\ a ball play *r• but at
a field general ami strategist.
Managed Yankees.
After 15 *'oars with the Cube, eight .
. them as manager. Chance severed
his Chicago connections in 1912 with
the intention of retiring to his Call-1
fornla ornng • grove, hut was persu
aded to take over the managership of
the New Yor t Yankees under a three
year contract reputed to have called
for an annual figure of $40,000. He
piloted the team to seventh place In
1913, but In 1914, when the Yankees
finished sixth, he. resigned a month
before the close of the season because
■ f disagreement with owners over
team |» licks ami dissatisfaction with
the conduct of several star players.
Negotiations between Frazeo and
Chance were practically concluded
during the hist world series In New
York. The Boston magnate, who
previously had known the former Cub
pilot, but casually declared after a
long conference that Chance was one
i t the "most remarkable personalities
he had ever met" and thnt he be j
lievod him particularly qualified to re-1
organize the Red Sox and make the
club a pennant contender again.
• Chance was born In Fresno, Cal., to
1ST". Ho was catcher on tho team at
’Vashlngton college, Irvington, Cal.,
in 1893-4-5, when ho decided, against
the wish of his family, to become a
professional ball player, singing with
i neml-pro club at Sullivan, 111., at a
salary of $-10 monthly, for his first
venture. Later he returned to the
coast and attracted the attention of
major league scouts when playing In
on eliminating championship tourna
ment with coast teams. He received
. iTei-s from Chicago. Baltimore and
Vow York clubs and finally chose
i htcagu, joining the Cubs on tho
spring training trip in 1898 as a
i ntcher.
Started as latcner.
Chance played beh ad the bat and
III the field In 42 games bis first sea
son and batted .288. His play Im
proved steadily and in 1903 he. was
transferred to first base to give the
team the benefit of his batting and
base running regularly. He batted
.327 and led the league in stolen bases
that year with 67.
When Frank Selee was forced to re
tire bora use of 111 health as mnaager
of the Cubs in 1905, Chance was ap
point! d to succeed him and the fol
lowing year led the team to its first
pennant since 1886, but lost the
world S series to the Chicago White
So':, the “hitless wonders" of those
days.
Chance popular among his players,
tint an tinflinching taskmaster on
ihe Hold, achieved his success through
i tie inspiration of his own forceful
ability as well as his quick, decisive
tactics at critical moments. His team,
M Minted by many observers as the
gi. de.it cf all time, included a num
l,,.|* of brilliant strategists as well as
i \ns in addition to the pilot. Not
able among them was Johnny Evers,
s end baseman; Joe Tinker, ehort
Mop, and Johnny Kliug, catcher.
Three-fingered" Mordecai Brown,
Jack VTelster. Or\al Overall and Ed
Kuelbach were the pitching stars.

CAHIKNT1KU wants another
earfvas calesthenics party with
Siki. Carp claims his setting up
exercises went wrong that evening.
Siki was featured to knot'll his
knob on ring floor three times and
chant, “Lafayette, I am here.”
That's same ritual used by Amer
ican war vets. They now chirp,
."lafayette. where are we now?”
Siki was told that canvas used in
ring was Senegalese prayer rug. By
dobhing three times to rising sun he
would accumulate enough dividends
to buy himself charter in his native
land and Carp's manager would
check off 10 Parisian seconds.
Instead of that he laid two bags
fill of knuckles on Carp’s patriotic
chin and knocked him through an
exit marked “In case of fire only.”
It seems that Carp started to ad
lib on their rehearsed routine,
which called for petting and kind
words. When he slammed hts hay
maker into Siki's silo that made
Siki forget his secret treaty and
step out strong for open covenants
and doors.
Three or four dark coiuplexioned
spank* up against Carp's refined
profile and Manager llesranips
tossed In his 1922 quota of sponges.
Carp's only mistake that night was
appearing instead of telephoning.
Read what Le Journal Le Resin
says about It. Le Journal Le Resin
Is France's leading athletic paper on
sports. It is printed on canvas.
"Mons. Sikt’s pugilistic diplo
macy to make that beautiful
Georges Carpentier look like those
hired Coney Island bathing suits
for BO cents is deplorable, and all
true Frenchmen will do likewise.
To think that Sikl preveracates,
that our handsome Georges will
make those franteup with Sene
gal steam beer bum Is nothing to
lie thought of by our best people.
Carpentier is still our glorious
champion of La Bello France.
Vive la Georges. Three times,
maybe. At leaset once, at all
times.
"Ever since Georges he knock
Dempsey Into nickel seats at
Boyle’s Acres Thirty, everybody
in America has been jealous of
those hypnotic eye of Mnns. Dos
camps. Sometimes for sport.
Sometimes for money. Vivo la
Franc.
"That ruffian Sikt is top coarse
and brutal for punch fighting.
Even when Georges is otc floor,
he looks’ like champion. Vive la
canvas.”
So you see that Carp is still
France’s curly headed tumbler. He
hasn't lost his knack of looking se
curely anchored in earthquakes.

Pitcher Murray of the Yanks, on

! did nobly. Relieving the veteran
I Shawkey in the second inning lie held
j Cleveland to three hits during the re
mainder of the game and allowed no
[ runs. Murray also made n triple and
a homo run which put his team in
| the running and finally won out
Murray is one of the hurlers who Is
making good by his ability to swing
a nasty hat in conjunction with some
clever pitching ability.
In a gaipe played July 5, 1896, ,St.
Paul against Minneapolis, only one of
the St. Paul players made three hits,
the other eight, made from four to
' eight hits apiece. Forty-three hits
! in all for a total of 73 bases. Jack
I Glasscock, who had been playing hall
•since the potato famine in Ireland,
made eight hits to nine times up.
Larry Lajoir played liis first game
oil May 1, 1306, for the Fall Kivei
elub of the New England league, and
fuijshed liis niinoi league career July
t. With a batting average of 430 he.
had all the big league managers after
l him. “The club that lands this won
i der must pay $1,500,” said Manager
I Marsten. Boston had the first, chance
! Cor Frenchy. but thought the price
too steep. The Philadelphia club paid
;the price and with that organization
Larry begun hfs historic career. In
' the 30 games Lajoie played that sea
^ son he batted .308 and fielded 1.000.
| Here is it specimen of hitting the ball
. at a .400 clip and showing the world
j how to field his position.
There Is no doubt but the batting
practice indulged in before every
game in the larger circuits, under
regular conditions w'ith a hurler
sticking them over with plenty of
J stuff and speed and a catcher work
lug wiUi 11ini has been a wonderful
help of the batsmen of today. It Is
one of the principal reasons for the
big improvement In hatting. It has
brought a lot of mediocre hitters up to
the .300 class and the bonifide .300
batsmen are soaring away above their
regular speed. In the olden days,
or even less than a decade ago, the
batsmen used to go into the game cold
and up against high grade pitching.
Of course, the lively hall is respon
t.blo for so much long-distance hit
ting.
The work of Max Carey In the 18
iiming game played July 7, 1922. was
nothing short of marvelous and a rec
ord breaker in many respects. Max
came to bat nine times and reached
first nine times by making six hits
and getting three passes which netted
six runs. Max also stole three bases
and once rtolo home. lti the outfield
he accepted seven chances, yet his
team lost, 9 to 7.

Risks Broken Back to Be
on Winning Football Team
Walla Walla, Wash., Dec. 11.—Taking a chance with one's spinal column
is risky business just for the sake of playing football. But this is Just what
l.awronce Jacky, fullback and captain of the Walla Walla High school eleven,
did this season—and "he got away with it."
The local high school eleven finished the season Thanksgiving day by
defeating the Oonzaga High school team of Spokane, 39 to 0. and thereby
earning ihe right to clash with Waited
High school of Toledo, O., for an
lntersectional contest here on Christ i
mas day, if that eleven decides to ■
come west. .Tacky finished the game]
at his position and thereby completed !
a record of nine games without ever
having been taken out. This in spite
of the fart that last year he was
forced to retire from the game early
In the season with two of his vertebrae
out of place and one split length
wise.
But .Tacky was systematic about
the care of himself. He devoted him
self to the idea of getting well so
that he could help his team win a
championship the next year.
With the best of medical and home
care he was "in shape” this fall.
Physicians and his friends assured
I him lie was taking a big chance, hut
l.lacky said: "It is my last year in
high school and I want to play on
! that team, for it s going to he a win
j r.er.” He was right; it was. Scores of
45 to 7 against. Boise (Idaho) High
school; 14 to 2 against the celebrated
| Everett (Wash.) eleven, and of 13 to
! 0 against North Central High school
of Spokane, winners over Lewie and
Clark Hill school of that city, attest
i to this fact.
Jacky says his spinal column is
mow as strong as it ever was and
i hat lie Intends to play football when
lie goes to college. Several college
1 coaches who have been watching his
1 line-plunging havo said they hope so.

Ability to Take Punishment •
Made Stanley Ketchel Great
By FRANK G. MENKF.
"The greatest tiling about Stanley Krtchel tvas his almost unbellevabh
ability to tahe punishment,” declared Jack Kearns. "If It hadn’t l*een for
that Ketehel’s career, instead of being one of the most brilliant the fisti
world has ever known, would have ended almost as soon as it began.”
And then the man who manages Jack Dempsey, but who years ago
handled lighters who battled Ketchel, recounted some of Stanley’s deeds:
"Kctehel was ns wide open as a Nebraska prairie in his earliest days
It was no trick to hit him. When ho was just starting, and for quits a
long tlmo afterw'ard, men did hit him with everything hut the tops of th>
Rocky mountains. They’d floor him again—again—and again. But thej
couldn’t keep him there.
"And sooner nr later Ketchel would*
get up and, with that furious, wtldi
man attack of his, bring down the
other fellow und go on to victory.
"I onco managed a fighter—Morris
Thompson—who fought Ketchel twice)
in Butte, Mont., and beat (Stanley j
both times. Ketchel didn't impress
anyone very much In those days and
no one thought he'd go very fur along
the pugilistic roads.
"Ketchel might have remained an
unknown if it hadn’t been for- what
might be called a break in luck for
him. It all came about through his
fight In Marysville, Cal., with Bennie
Hart, a negro.
"No one paid much attention to the
fight in that hick town. But it hap
pened that .Tollliny Norton, who was
one of the big men in boxing affairs in
San Francisco, was in Marysville at
the time. Ho liked Hart—and bet a
big bunch of money on Hart to beat
Ketchel.
"That fight was a thriller if ever
there was one in pugilism. The men
started to slug with the bang of the
first gong and the atr was full of fly
ing gloves. One of Hart's pile driver
smashes caught Ketchel on the jaw
in that first round—and down he
went.
"But he was back on his feet and
slugging with the bell.
“They tore Into each other like
wild men In the second, ripping and
smashing away at each other with all
the fury and the power that was in
them. In tlio third Ketchel caught
Hart on the chin and down went the
negro. But he beat the count.
"So it. went until the seventh. By
that time both men1 were near to col
lapse because of the fearful punish
ment each had taken. Ketchel swung
—it sort of dying swing at the stag
gering Hart, missed—and Uni t floun
dering out of the way, happened to
rant one to Ketchel's jaw.
"And down went Stan again.
"As thp referee was counting over
him, Ketchel climbed to his knees. He
tried to get to an upright position but
the power to lift his body fully seem
ed to have gone front his arms and
legs. But ho lifted his head and
saw Hart, one. eye closed, nose
.-mashed, blood covered, staggering,
wobbling above him.
“ ‘You dirty, black skunk—you
dirty skunk!" muttered Ketchel
through bos swollen to twice tlic-ir
size. 'I ll get you yet—I'll get you
and I'll kill you. D'ya hear? I’m
going to kill you!'
"As nine sounded. Ketehel, by some
superhuman ci'iuri tut to Ins feet
nnd toppled toward the broken, bleed
ing negro. It mi- too mucli for Hart.
He turned. Mae ten d to his corner—
and refused to fight further.
"That victory in itself wouldn't
have 'made' Ketehel—or given him
the golden chance. The thing that
made him was the fact that Norton
had lost on his bets to the Marys
\ llle spoi ls. Th»y ra::. <d Norton—
and it infuriated the San Fran
ciscoan. He swore to get revenge.
"He went back to Frisco, got Joe
Tlioma.", then ranking as the middle
weight champion of the world, took
him to Marysville, matched him with
Ketehel and bet a gob on Thomas
to win.
"In the first round Ketcliel hit
Thomas so hlrd that when Jo hit
tho floor som folks thought
earthquake had taken pin*
insisted tiiat only one and oil* half
minutes of tho first round had gone
up to tin moment that Thomas went
down. But. when seven or eight had
been counted ^jff and Joe was still
dead to the world, the bell rang end
ing the round.
"It may be explained that Johnny
Norton, who had bet so heavily on
Thomas, nnd who was suposed to be
Joe's manager, also was timekeeper
for that tight.
"The showing Ketch made against
Thomas that, night made hhn a na
tional sensation. The rest is history.
But ill that history the name of Stan
ley Ketohel never may have appeared
if a man hadn’t bet against him and
lost one night and then sic'ed a
world’s champion onto him in the
dual hope of getting revenge—and
making a gambling cleanup."

Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 11—D'
ing but ipio regular of the 1922 fool
ball season, indications are that Coach
Bill Spaulding of Minnesota will havr
a formidable nucleus about which to
build his 1923 Gopher eleven.
Otis McC’recry, halfback and high
scorer of the 1922 team, will b« th«
man lost to the Gophers. From the
classy group of substitute backs and
tlie wealth of plungers graduating
from the freshmen squad, a likely
successor should develop.
Captain Oliver Aas is eligible fot
another year of conference foot bub
and probably will be found at centei
on the 1923 eleven. The remainder of j
the team will remain Intact, which
with experience gained this season
should make Minnesota a serious
