This move on the part of the former leader of the Chicago Cubs in their cham pionship days 'may forecast the per manent retirement from baseball of Chance. He will relinquish the reins of the Yankees at the end of the sea son. or Tuesday, if it can be arranged. Chance resented being called a "quitter" by former New York Chief of Police Bill Devery, one of the own ers. in the clubhouse at the Polo Grounds on Saturday when a physi cal clash was narrowly averted. In a statement, Chance blames the "tight policy" of Frank Farrell, president of the club, for the poor showing of the New Yorks. j COACH tiKOKGK COCK ILL WIXCOMKK I.AIK.i: SQUAD l,ewisburg, Pa., Sept. 15. Head Coach George Cockill had a large squad of randidates for the Hucknefl football team working on the campus for several hours yesterday. It was not the largest squad that lias report ed for preliminary work at Hucknell, but the new men appear to be larger than the candidates who have report ed during the last few yeurs. Two Philadelphia boys, Snyder, a guard from Central Manual, and Cur ran. a former Central High School star, are two of the largest men and ! seem to know lots of football. ! The other new men to report are I Kllwood, a former Colgate Academy star, who is out for a tackle position; Yarnell. halfback, from Mount Car tnel High; Davis, a Greenshurgh High backtield man: I.awrence and Morrett, two Steelton High boys, and Spotts, liewisburg High.

' JACK DCN\ PICKED TO SUCCEED CHANCE New York, Sept. 15.—While neither Manager Chance nor President Frank Farrell, of the New York American league baseball club, would make any statement yesterday regarding their differences, baseball circles put much faith In a persistent rumor that Chance would remain manager for the rest of the season. Report had it that Chance would relinquish his contract for another season, calling for a sal- i ary of $20,000, and that Farrell had guaranteed to pay Chance's salary in full for this year. .Tack Dunn, manager of the Balti more Internationals, is considered the most likely choice for Chance's suc cessor.

Commission at a recent meeting in | Cincinnati arranged tentative dates' for the approaching world's series. It I is said that the annual classic will open on Saturday, October 10, no mat ter whether the Giants or the Braves oppose the Athletics. The triumvirate evidently has con ceded the American League title to Connie Mack's team. If the Braves represent the Tcner circuit the first game will he played at Kenwick Park, Boston; if McGraw wins his fourth straight pennant the Polo Grounds will witness the inaugural clash. The other dates will l>e October 12, 13, 14, 15, 10 and I", if seven games are necessary. The games would al ternate daily between New York and Philadelphia. But in case the Braves participate two games would be played at the Hub, with an overnight Jump to Philadelphia for October 13 and 14. As in former years, how ever, in case of postponement or tie the contending teams must remain in a city until the contest in abeyance has been decided definitely. This se-1 lies is to be governed by the rules > which have prevailed for the last few seasons. The players will share in the receipts of the first four games only. - , Baseball Today; Scores of Yesterday UHI'IIIK THEY PLAY TODAY .National League ! .New York n« Philadelphia. Brooklyn at Boston.

Emery Ball Questioned; Ban Johnson to Decide New York, Sept. 15.—President Johnson of the American League will have to decide whether the "emery ball" is legal or is to be classed with the dum-dum bullet as a weapon of "civilized" warfare.

Collins protested vigorously when he went to bat, and, as a result, Um pire Conolly examined two balls which were in play. A round, fuzzy spot about the size of a quarter was found in each ball. Connolly then asked that Keating show him his glove. Neatly placed In the center of the mitt Keating bad a r.mall piece of emery paper.
