One raust give him all tho credit. In tlio world as a. "poorless loader' hut aa a re-conBtrimtlonlflt re-conBtrimtlonlflt so far he Is untried. What Chance Is aiikcd to do Stalling:; Stall-ing:; has already done, not onco hut several times. Ho did It ln Detroit ycani ago and ho did it ln New York tvithln tho pa-'Jt flvo years. No ono will try to arguo that Stall-Ingtf Stall-Ingtf la as great a baseball lender an Frank Chanco. Tho records would not flubHlantlato it, but if Stullluga'M ability aa a hullilur Is posnessod by Chance then tho Hllltoppora aro duo for much hotter things In tho near future. It 1h ono thlnjr to lead men. another to dig- up tho proper men to bo led. Chance Is solve about h!n -work In a very aonalblw way. Ho Iuiowh ah-uolutely ah-uolutely nothing about tho altuatlon h will bo callod upon to face except what ho has learned aocond hand. But he 1b not worryini?. Ho intundii to llnd out- jnattrH for lilmself. Con-ooquently Con-ooquently ho has delayed coining to Now York until It 1h almont tlmo to leave for Bermuda with hla chargou Ho wlahoa to be here for tho sched-ulo sched-ulo meeting of tho American league, of course, for he will thon get acquainted ac-quainted with his now uurroundlngs and may perhaps absorb nomo useful knowledge that will load to a trade or two. But Chanco will mako no radical changes until ho. personally, has weighed hts material. NO one realises more than "Hush" that ho has a Job on h! hands. The Peorlcss Leader under-otando under-otando New York, which demand quick action as a rule. But he ln building for, tho future and not for tiio approaching s.aaaon. Cbanco will go caxofully. and it i a dead certainty ho will not make any precipitate mlfltafcos. H showed Mb tenon wiudora when he accoptcd all tlio arrangements that liad bfifen mado for tlio training of tlio tenm beforo ho had boon engaged. And just a word in oloalig on Uo Yanlccea' training trip. It le irkely to mako o whole l;t v of other big league teams aorry that they did not necuro the island grounds after tho benefits uhowa by Jersey City a year ago. Farrcll's team will condition ln an ideal clunatc, a temperature that la never oxcesslvely ' hot and Is nover chilly. Tho thermometer flirts from 65 to 7fi, nover varica from those extremes except on vcrj rare occasions. occa-sions. 3.1 arch is free' from rains and thoro in comparatively no wind. "While fiequestcrcd, there is enough novelties to ho neon about tho iflland. to keop any ono interested for far longer than a month. Now York will be at Hamilton during the rush season for tourists and there Is lit-tlo lit-tlo danger of the stay becoming lonesome or monotonous. BoBldos, the team will be bettor sheltered and -bettor fed than Is possible pos-sible unywhero ln Dixie land. Far-rcll Far-rcll baa routed a hotjl for the ex-olualve ex-olualve use of his ball players. Ho Ib sending down his own corps of chefs and helpers aJid will also ship his provisions three times weekly from this port. |
