E Chance left with the assurance from Charles Comiskey, owner of the club, that the management of the White Sox would be held open for him; that he had been granted a leave of ibsence and could assume the direc- »n of the elub as soon as his heaith nermitted. Chance said he would re- turn when he could The order for Chance to return to California was given by Dr. Phillip Kreuscher, Comiskey's personal phy- sician, after a thorough examination. While the physician indicated that Chance was in no immediate danger, he said the climate in Chicago was not conducive for improvement of his ,condition.

PARIS, April 1 All controvers concerning Georges Carpentier’s 1924 ring activities in the United States were definitely settled here this after- noon when articles were signed for a bout between Carpentier and Tommy Gibbons “near Chicago” on May 30 or 31. The articles were signed by Jack Curley, New York promoter and American representative of Carpentier, and Francois Descamps, the Frenc man’s manager. The conference was attended by Eddie Kane, manager of Gibbons, who already has accepted terms for the fight with Floyd Fitz- simmons. Fitzsimmons plans to stage the match in his Michigan City, Ind., arena. The date was left undecided, ac- cording to_Curley, so that in case it was felt the automobile race set for Decoration day in Indianapolis might interfere with the success of the bout, the boxers could meet the day fol lowing. The agreement calls for a ten-round match and though other details were not revealed, Descamps’ smile as he emerged from the conference indicated his satisfaction with the terms. Providing the result of his match with Gibbons warrants, Carpentier may fight Gene Tunney, American light heayyweight champion, in New York on July 4, according to Descamps. alloped Chance leit for the coast to- the management of the Cubs after “Hank” O'Day, the veteran umpire, had failed to fill Chance’s shoes satis- factorily. When Chance was appointed man- ager of the White Sox, a position he had coveted for years, the first thing he did was to sign Evers as his as- sistant. Evers had been in charge of the club since the spring training be- gan in February. Chance was unable to report, due to an attack of influ- ensza, and when he arrived here a week ago he contracted a severe cold.

TILDEN VIOLATING RULE, TENNIS BODY DECLARES N EW YORK, April 19—Defending its course in adopting the player- writer rule, which has provoked a storm in tennis ranks through- out the country, the United States Lawn Tennis Association today made public the text of the rule committee’s report on this regulation, which, after next January 1, would bar from amateur ranks all players “who receive a substantial emolument” for writing newspaper articles. Dealing particularly with the case of William T. Tilden, 2d, national champion, who has been advised by the U. S. L. T. A. that he will be barred under the rule next year if his present newspaper activities con- tinue then, the text endeavors to show how Tilden violates the spirit as well as the letter of the amateur rule, which provides that “an ama- teur is one who plays solely for the pleasure and physical benefits he de- rives therefrom, and to whom the playing of tennis is nothing more than a pastime.” The report, signed by Holcomb Ward, chairman of the amateur rule commiittee, asks whether “the play- ing of tennis be nothing more than a pastime to a champion whose Widely advertised business is tennis writing,” whether he hasn't “turned his toanis pastime info a busines:,” and whether “they are any morc in- teresting and instructive because thex are signed: ‘William T. Tilden, world's greatest tennis player. " “Or is that done because of money value?’ the report gates, and then corclude: “I think the answer to this ques: tion may be found in the last para. graph of the attached copy of circular letter received by newspaper( offcring ‘Tilden's tennis service' at cost of $200 per ‘subseriber.
