CHANCE PLAYS CLEVER GAME

Recently Deposed Cub Leader Help* Los Angeles Team Win —Overall In Grand Form.

Frank Chance’s baseball playing days are not ended. When he departed from Chicago for his home in Glendora, Cal., it was said he never would be able to make the round of the sacks again. However, he played in a contest at Los Angeles, Cal.,' a few days ago, and expects to participate in many more. Chance was home only a few days when he was asked to take part in an exhibition contest. He readily consented, declaring his health would permit. Although he had promised to be on hand, it was not thought he would appear when the time came. He was present when the bell rang and played a fast game at first base and went through the Innings without a murmur. His team won, 3 to 2. Chance rather regretted it the following day, as his muscles were so lame he was barely able to walk. Yet

he enjoyed the exercise and said he 1 probably would play in the winter league on the coast and get in condi-* tion for next season. Opposed to Chance in the exhibition pontest was Orvle Overall, who formerly was a member of the Cubs. Although the ex-Cub leader was not responsible for Overall’s departure from the West side ranks, he had the, satisfaction of striking his former' leader out. Fred Snodgrass, whose muff of a fly ball lost the New York, Giants the world's series championship, also was fanned by Overall if that contest. In that same contest were Hall of, the Boston Americans, Chief Meyersi of the Giants, Schultz of the PhilaNationals, Fromme of the Cin-i cinnatf Reds, Cravath of the Phiilles i and Johnny Kane, who formerly was utility infielder and outfielder on the Cub team.

Orvie Overall.
