Chance Strong for Hofman.

A letter from former Manager Frank Chance of the Chicago Cubs says that he expects Artie Hofman to he star for the Pittsburg Pirates next season. He scored President Murphy for letting Hofman go in the trade with King -Cole for Leach and Leifield. “Hofman should bat over .300. run the bases in old-time form and as a fielder give Pittsburg the best man it has had since Fred Clarke retired as. a player,” says Chance’s letter.
