He is master of all he surveys, brooks ne interference from anyone and woe to the player who fails to obey orders Chance Is a regular heman. The player who ts a regular fellow and obey rules never hears from Chance. With the baseball fraternity he is ver) popular. There is none of the four-flush about Chance; he is either for you or against you, and wants the world to know it. IHANCE ts Inclined to be serious, From the time the game starts until the finish, he is fighting for victory, He likes players of the same! temperament. No kidding on the bench on any ball club he manages. Off the field Chance has a keen sense of humor and enjoys the funny | things in life just as well as the next fellow. Just prior to his resignation from the management of the New York Americans, he coined an expression that lived for some time in American league circles Hal Chase wasn't playing to sult Chance and a trade was made with the Chicago club. In return for Chase, New York got Rollie Zeider and Rabe) Borton. Zeider, who was a mighty good inti r New York. It seems that Zeider was afflicted with a bunion that became very painful the moment he donned a some time was much needed by} w York uniform and he waa unable to play for) ‘The trade of Chase for Zeider didn't set very well with some New Yorkers |"? partial to Chase. One day just before a game at the Polo Grounds, a cer-| tain newspaper man who was strong for Chase asked Chance what he thought of the deal. Chase, by the way, had made a good start with Chicago. “It was an even trade,” replied Chance. “I got a bunion for an onion.” For years tite Chase-Zeider trade was no known tn baseball. ” tease @ game at St. Louls, Chance unknowingly became a party to one of the most extraordinary batting-outoforder plays ever staged. The Yankees were playing the Browns and were getting a good trouncing. George Stovall was then managing the St. Louis club, In about the eighth inning Chance decided to call upon his reserves went to bat for the pitcher, who, I believe, wax Ray Fisher sefely. His pinch hit started a rally | After scoring the first run of the inning, enthused with the rally that he had started, Chance went to the coaching lines at third base } A fellow by the name of Derrick was playing short for New York in that! game and hitting eighth. When it came Derrick’s turn to bat, someone yelled to Chance that he was up again. On his second trip to the plate he again singled, scoring the two runners on the bases at the time As I recall the incident, New York made seven runs in that toning and ultimately won the game, 9 to & | After the side had been retired the St. Louis scorers conveyed the infor: mation to Stovall that Chance on his first trip to the plate had hit for the! pitcher and on his second he had batted for the shortstop. | When he hit for the shortstop he batted out of order. Had the mistake been discovered Chance would have been made to look very foolish. As it} was, his hit when so batting won the game The protest from St. Louix came too late and the umpires could do noth. ing. Chance, however, did something. Walking over to Derrick, who had failed to take his piace at bat during the reven-run rally, he remarked: “Take your glove with you to the bench. That's where you will play from now on. You have played your last game with New York.” It #0 proved. | He Chance hit} HAD a very unusual experience with Chance which shows the character of the man In the first half of the 11th inning of a game at Chicago, Roger Peckin- paugh, then with New York, tried to score from second on « single to the outfield. Hap Felsch, who handied the ball, made a wonderful throw to! the plate } Ray Schalk, taking a daring chance, so blocked Peckinpaugh that he was unable to get into the plate. The ball, which arrived a trifle of u second after Peck had slid into Schalk, got away from the Sox's great little| catcher. | Schalk, however, never gave up, and in some way managed to hold Peck | “way from the plate until he recovered the ball and touched the runner. | I ruled that Peck had the right to score, since Schalk had blocked him | While such claima are often made, such a decision js a rather unusual one. However, in this case, there was no doubt in my mind I felt that! Peck was entitled to score Chance, who had been coaching at third, not knowing that I had ruled Peck safe, rushed up to the plate to protest Schalk’s blocking of the! runner, When he realized I had ruled Peck safe, he simply turned on his heel and} walked back to third base ‘The next day one of the New York players remarked to me “You won't have any more trouble from the New York club.” esked for an explanation, he replied “Calling Peck safe at the plate yesterday made a hit with Chance. He} said it required a bit of nerve to score the winning run for a visiting team He also told us that if any kicks were to be made against your decisions, he would make them and that he didn't expect to register any.” I worked many a game with the New York team after that, made some When I That one tough decision had won his confidence. to his players.
