Frank Chance. who recently signed
to manage the Boston team of the
American League. has a regular job
ahead of him.

Chance evidently realizes this. for
he refused to affix ,his signature for
more than one year. It is said Owner
Frazee much preferred a two or three
year contract.
0 0
"One year may be more than enough
for me." explains Chance. “I may early
discover that baseball no longer pos-
sesses the lure it once did. If that
proves to be the case I want to be able
to get out without embarrassing any-
one." .
Chance will early discover that his
worth-while material at Boston is very
limited. If‘ a manager inherits a. club
that has a couple of outstanding stars,
he can proceed to build around them.
Chance takes charge of a team that
has an unsettled infield. a rather erra-
tic outfield. fair pitching and pretty
good catching.
O 0
Mike Mcnoaky will probably get a
real opportunity to win a regular berth
in the outfield. Chance likes players
of the Menosky type. Mike is always
trying. That will make a hit with
- / 'sourn NoRWALK‘EVENHwW
kind of pitching lf.giv.sn a. real trial.
. O ‘ . ,
Two problems that Chance .wlll. loco
are the cases of HowardEhmks-a'nd
“Lefty" O'Doul. Hers tarot tiro.plu1ers
who have a worldiof-nntural obillb.
yet neither has attainodr'the success
that it seems should be. their portion.
. . . . . ‘. .
Ehmks comes to'.Ԥo?ton-in a trade
for Rip Collins. in pitcher in. tbs
American’Lesgue has'moro stuff than
Ehmke. No twirler'is more‘tcared by
American League button-7i. Everything
is in Ebmke's favor-c'stc'ept'that op-
posing teams knows he possesses.
. U .
Can Chance make 'Ehm‘ks' over?
Chance has always had good pitching
staffs. Realizing the important psi-t n
brainy catcher plays in the develop-
ment of pitchers. Chance has secured
Jimmy Archer to coach the Red Sox
pitchers. -
7 7 o o 0
Problem number two for Chance is
"Lefty” O'Doul. ‘For three years he
has done little more than warm the
bench for New York. ‘O'Doul is s
southpaw pitcher. Who is fast-can hit
and perform capably inrthe outfield.
It is more than possible Chance any
a. star out of him.

Yes, indeed! Mr.'Chance has n,

Baseball critics are strongly divided
on that question.
While the greatness of George Sis-
lcr as an nil-round star is generally
recognized, still the right to be class-
ed as the king of first suckers is not
always conccdvd to him. -
