FORTS
Hi
E SIGN FOR 3 YEARS
SALARY
I
P. L. Will Get Close to $25,000 a Year and 5 Per Cent of the Profits as Manager of New York Americans.
The California orange crop has been frozen up. We should worry." Frank Chance yesterday fell oft the fence on the New York side and signed a threeyear contract to manage the Yankees at a figure that makes each Individual orange look like the proverbial grain cf mustard seed. Inquiries regarding this figure failed to develop anything tangible. When asked about it, Frank Farrell, owner of the Yanks, passed the buck up to Chance and Chance passed it back to Mr. Farrell. There was no opportunity afforded to sneak a glance at the contract Itself, so we are In the dark regarding certain things it contained. It Is safe to say that the P. L. will
draw more money tnan was ever given a baseball manager before. There were several guesses at the amount and the most conservative was $18,000 per annum and a five per cent share in the profits. From that the estimates ran all the way up to $25,000 a year and a five per cent slice. Whatever the stipend, mention of it
.yesterday by President Farrell caused
Chance to change his mind in a hurry, give up the Idea of staying out of base
ball for a year and ask for pen and ink. - The second conference between the New York magnate and the P. 1 be'gan at the Congress hotel at 11 o'clock in the forenoon. It wound up in Ban
Johnson's office in the Fisher building at half past 2. Ban himself arose from
a sick bed to be in at the finish.
A dozen newspaper men were camped
in the Congress lobby at 2 o'clock. One of the more sprightly of them went upstairs to Mr. Farrell's room to ascer
tain whether anything was ready for
publication. He found the room vacant. Detective Charley Williams then con
sulted the coat checker and was told
that the outer garments of Messrs
Farrell and Chance had been spirited
away. A phone call to the American
league headquarters brought forth the information that Chance was closeted there with Ban Johnson and Farrell
and that there would be something do ing at 2:30. There was a rush to the Fisher
building and a rush to the fifteenth floor, via express elevator, which does not stop below the eighth. The scribes
had not been in Mr. Johnson's outer of
flee five minutes when President Far
rell escorted Chance from the sanctum
and said, in vibrato tones:
"Boys, I present to you the new man
ager of the Yankees."
The boys remembered the new manager's face and finally recalled his name. Chance immediately composed
a telegram to his old west side team mate, Clark Griffith, as follows:
"I am in a good league at last and
1 11 be fighting you."
101 TO HAVE GA1E
AT VALPARAISO FRIDAY
5
r,J-il. ; . BY SPIKE. - Tomorrow night Captain Welmer of the Dave lederers of Hammond will take his basket tossers tct Valparaiso, where they will line up against the Porter county seat team. The contest will be the opening game for Valpo. In fact, it will be a feeler, as basket ball has been left in the discard for some time and the Valpo athletes will endeavor to revive the popular indoor sport again. While Hammond has only had one game, in which they were defeated at Whiting several weeks ago, Valpo has been practicing for several weeks and are In shape to give the visitors a stiff battle. It has been noised around that the Porter county basket ball tossers
have a number of promising stars on their lineup and are expecting to take
-J-
the Lederers. nto camp. : r. "Although Csfptain Weimer's aggrega
tion have not' had any practice, as no hall could be found, there are a couple
of stars on the Hammond lineup who are considered as good as can be found in this neck of the woods.- They have
Dlaved basket ball for a number of
years and are so well acquainted with
the rudiments of the game that they feel perfectly at home. Captain Welmer will take Ben Pollard along with
him, who will show the county seaters
something about dropping the ball In
the net from difficult angles. - Captain Welmer Is arranging
schedule of out-of-town games and has
booked a game .with Rensselaer for Jan. 18. He Is also waiting to hear
from a number of Gary teams and
Crown Point. " .
WELLS REFUSES TO BOX JESS W1LLARD National Sporting Club Will Not Permit Chicago to Fight Bombardier.
The National Sporting club of London doesn't want Jess Willard or Al Palzer In the same ring with Bombardier Billy Wells, the English champion. Palzer stopped Wells and Willard outpointed McCarty, who whipped Palzer, so they are carefully guarding the Bombardier for a battle with Luther, fearing that such arrangements might
explode If he were permitted to fight
the other two.
B. F. Mathison, New York represen
tatlve of the London club, wired here
yesterday that Willard could not hope
for a match with the British champion In London. Neither could Palzer find
a battle over there, he asserts. So Al trip abroad doesn't look so well.
Mathison intimated, . however, tha
Wells may be obtained to box Willard
In New York over the ten-round dis
tar.ee, merely because he was the man
who outpointed McCarty. But there'
no chanc? for Palzer. Wells is eage
for the McCarty fight and the gate it
would draw.
WHITNEY GETS DRAW

jKoJi Yamada, the little Japanese

of seven points did not appreciably
alter his deficit of the first night, as
Slosson is leading, 800 to 714, on the
two nights' play.
Both men played better billiards than
on the preceding night. Slosson aver

mprovement was noticeable in the bet

players and often they were confronted with wide open shots. As against this
they both missed easy looking shots.

NEW FRAT FAILS
ATWISCONSIN Madison, Wis., Jan. 9. The new ath
letic fraternity, Sigma Delta Phi, which
was organised recently by Dr. Hutchins of Indiana, stands little chance of
installing a chapter at the University

shown here in the general efficiency
record required for membership. Manager of Athletics Jack Wllce has
announced the scheduling of swimming meets with Northwestern at Evanston
on Feb. 15, and with Chicago at ChN cago on the following day. North
western will come here for a return
meet on March 8. Fearing that members of the squad
might fail in the final examinations if.
they devote too much time to practice.
Coach Rill Juneau has decided to postpone strenuous work until the second semester. '
JONES SEES HARD
JOB FOR CHANCE Portland. Ore., Jan. 9. Fielder Jones, former leader of the White Sox, said today that while Frank Chance was certainly worth all he could get from the New York Americans, he doubted whether Chance would please the Highlander fans. "He cannot possibly make a first division team of the club this year," said Jones, "for Boston, Philadelphia and Washington will have a firm hold on the top places, and Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland will all have clubs which I doubt If Chance will be able to pass. "If Chance puts the Yankees in the first division in three years he will be doing a wonderful thing and long before the three years the fans will be knocking him so hard that much of the Incentive to build up a winner will be taken from him."
ENEMY OF JEFF GETSIN TROUBLE Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 9. Albert C.

AD WOLGAST FAILS
TO LAND A MATCH
Ex-Lightweight Champ Ig
nored by Promoters and Fighters.
San Francisco, Jan. 9. Ad Wolgast
and Manager Tom Jones arrived in San
Francisco yesterday from Los Angeles. They will leave ojnight for Medford, Ore., where Wolgast has some property
interests that require looking Into.
While the world-famous lightweight
has now a sufficient number of investments to warrant him regarding himself as a man of affairs, he is never too
absorbed in other matters to turn a
deaf ear to anything that sounds like a profitable pugilistic proposition. He
can be halted at any stage of the journey if the Inducements are of the right kind. Right now he is willing to listen to anything tempting In the line of an offer of a match with any of the prominent boxers in his class. If nothing turns np to interfere with his present plans he will keep right on to his home in Cadillac, Mich., after he arranges his business In the north. Later he will go to New York in the expectation of figuring In short bouts. Asked about the proposal to send Tommy Murphy against Wolgast In this city on Washington's birthday. Manager Jones said: "Wolgast Is open to meet anybody at his weight. He feels that a match with Joe Rivers, Joe Mandot or Willie Ritchie would bring the biggest returns, but he is willing to tackle any fighter of lesser note. Ad will insist upon his price, though. He won the world's championship after a bitter
fight with Battling Nelson and held it against all comers for a long time. He lost it to Ritchie on a pure technicality and is as much of a drawing card as ever. Any one who thinks that the loss of a title under the conditions which deprived Wolgast of his converts a champion into a gheap or .preliminary fighter is mistaken. For Murphy Wolgast has asked a guarantee of $10,000, and he will not accept a dolla rless."
