It Is said that Patrick Is hot on the trail of Ha! Chase, th alleged gambling first baseman, and there la a swell chance of the premier Initial sacker signing the papers for 1919. Ab th story goes, Mr. Moran, a few hours after signing a Giant contract, t collided with Mr. Chase In a glided cafe ron Forty-second ''street. They held a 1 confidential confab for some time, and 'then Patrick hastened to tho telephone. It Is said that McClraw a on the other end, and after a brief conversation Lth partlcn of tho first nnd second purt (left tho glided cafo. hopped Into a taxi land drove away. To inuko the story good, Innocent bystanders claim they hastened to McClraw s office. At present Chase Is In bad with the t Cincinnati club and the National Lcaguo ? because of his alleged dealings with a . flock of gamblers in Cincinnati nnd ' points east. According to the charges, Hal worked In cahoots with the betting gentlemen, and sometimes did not piny his best In the games.

Hal denied eery thing, Insisted on a trial ,nnd the case has been placed In tho hands of President Heydlcr for final disposition. As soon as Mr. Hejdlcr hands down his decision Chase will or will not bo In a position to accept a new Job. At that, he would bo a great help to tho Giants.

Ho Is aggres sive, commands respect of tho plajers and h very popular. As an outfielder ho utlll Is good, nnd If necessary can tako his place in tho lltio-up. Ho aUu plays a good game In the Inllcld.j Toronto made a great sholng In 1917, when Larry Lajolo managed tho club, and McCaftery wants another big leaguer to tako his place. Last car tho Maple Leafs won tho pennant under the management of Dap How ley. Baseball Chatter Karl Hamilton, tho southpaw phenom, who staged such' a great comeback twirling for tho Pirates last year, will be In shapo for tho 1019 fracas.
