The last rule is an Important one, ; for any'player that lives up- to It can do away with petty trouble. "When a man's on th field," Chance de clares, "he ears things ho doesn't mean. If on of the fellows makes a bad play, I'll call him, and eall him - hard. I . may even call him name. The chances ar I will. But what I say must not be remembered after the game Is over. Theret is nothing personal In what I say on tha field." Chance joined the Chicago club In the spring of 189S. He cam-- upon the recommendation of that : other great star. Bill Lange. Hart wa then In charge of the Cuba. Lang had seen Chanc playing In seml-profes- Honal baseball In California and had tnad th recommendation. Well.

V American mill men ar watching with a. tnailmum : of -concern , thc trouble existing bejwen c th ; mill owners.- and operative In England. Mention has been made of tho various disputes and the history of the case from first to last has been closely followed. Early this -month an effort was mad by third parties to effect some - sort of . settlement ; looking toward' i harmony and peace, . but thes effort hay all tailed. - Th following from 1 Th Manchester Guardian, October , 14th,. Will be of interest; - - - J Th emergency committee of the Federation of Master cotton Spinners' Association met in the new office in Cross street, Manchester, yesterday afternoon, to consider th communica tion which had .been received on th wage dispute from Mr. W. A. Apple ton, secretary of the General Federa tion of Trad Unions, London. ' Th meeting was at full strength, and Mr. C. W Macara presided. In th morn ing Mr, Appleton. accompanied by Mr. William Mullin, .secretary of th Cardroom Worker . .Amalgamation, and Mr. William Marslaod, the secre tary -of the Operative Spinner' Amalgamation, had : spent nearly an hour - in private conversation with Mr. John Smethursdthe secretary of th Employers' Federation,; and the last-named briefly communicated . the gist of the Interview to th .meeting. Th proposals which were placed be fore th committee for consideration were: , - ' " '. w "(1) Reduction of S per cent, for three month, providing that at th end of that time the whole question of wages Is reconsidered. - ." "(2) Mills not to start until No vember another three weeks unless desired by the employers, t "Providing th terms ar accepted by'4-.th employers another ballot f the operator to be taken before the mill restart, v In order;, to : ascertain their views on the fiew proposals. . . "There wa vryllttl' discussion on thes proposals, and th meeting was over In twenty minutes. The waiting pressmen were then' Informed by Mr. Smethurst that . th letter Of Mr, Appleton had been considered,, and It had - been decided to forward -a reply to him at' 168 Temple " Chambers, Temple avenue, London. It was also agreed aa an act of Courtesy to for ward a copy of the reply to Mr., WU Ham Mullin. Mr, William Marsland and -Mr. Joseph Cross, secretary of the Winder' and Reelers' Association; : "That brief report, officially given, Indicated In no way the practical out come of th meeting, but our repre sentative subsequently ascertained that the proposals had been charac terized as Impracticable, knd' a such could not be entertained. This state ment was embodied In a resolution Which has been forwarded In the re-, ply to Mr. Appleton, with, a clear intimation that there wat no necessity for the intervention of a third party, "We are willing, aN we always have been,'! continued tha letter, "to grant a meeting ' to : the representatives of the Cardroom Workers' - Amalgama tion and the. Winders' and Reelera' Association If such a meeting 'be asked for." Thl decision Is exactly In accordance with the views ex pressed In these columns both yester day and on Monday, and the- proba bility Is that the leader of the operatives, who have a full knowledge of the employer-- attitude " 'on ' the question, expected no other- - result. Apart from the fact that a third party had attempted to join in tho negotia tions, there could . not. have been the least chance of the employer receding a single Jnch Xrffrn the position they had taken op.. The operative spinners are no longer at variance with the employers. They hav signed an agreement accepting a reduction - to come Into operation on' the first pay day In January, and. -therefore, the cardroom workers, with the -: minor association of winders and reelers, tand by themselves. . ; . " ' f . - It the cardroom worker ask the employers to meet them, and a settle ment is arrived at. it Is .obvious that th mill will only run short time. The present condition of trade would not warrant spindles - being . kept going each working day of th week, and unfortunately there are ne pros pect of any Immediate improvement. It is stated that Mr. -Churchill in tended to-day to confer with 'th operatives' leaders evidently those of the cardroom section, for they . are the only parties involved. ' After the result - of the employers' meeting yesterday there ' would seem to - be absolutely no room for ,v mediation., but powerful persuasion might ' in duce , the cardroom workers - to view the situation in the same light as the spinners have' done." . 1 " - f, TWO IX FIELD JLUIVELS. .. . .

What those two - wonder can do with a swiftly . .moving base ball Is simply beyond the power of eye to follow or pen to describe.

They far prefer to catch a ball whiler skating- along on -one shoulder, or etaa to throw while running at full speed away from first base, snapping the sphere over th left shoulder as a man might discard a burned match. On fake double plays they are i likely to throw or catch th ball back ward between their legs a In sny other way and each one dearly de lights to hand the ball back to Man ager Chance before that worthy can really recover from making a play to second base. . Of course, they cut out most of these crobatlc when In the Vat of a real baseball conflict, though there are marvelous tales current In Chi cago of the stunts that each has com pleted when he found it really nec essary to make a play in some out landish and-incredible way.
