Frank Chance, captain and man ager of the Chicago National League Baseball Club, two times world's champions, has finished his tenth con Becutive year of service with that or ganization. He has been with one club longer than any other profes sional player now in the diamond arena. There are not many players who have never been with more than one dub. Consldermg the number of players In the -ig league fold, they are few and far between. Chance has served with only one team Blnce coming into major league ranks, but in that time he has been employed by' two owners. The first was Jim Hart and the second Char lie Murphy.- Chafce" joined the Chi cagos m 1898 as a catcher. He al so has played in the outfield for them, and from a raw recruit has worked his way up to leader of the strongest baseball team in existence, and con sidered by many as the greatest ever organized. His is the-reward of merit, and not being a rolling stone, he has gath ered a share of -moss. -Yet to be a rolling stone in baseball .does not im ply improvidence, nor is it a reflec tion on the . ability of the player. There are players who have changed about who . are performers of the highest class, and who have laid aside nest eggs of considerable size. They have stuck to their work none the Jess faithfully for having roamed un der various banners. Kling Always a Cub. Johnny Kling is another warrior under the Cub standard who has not flayed big league ball elsewhere. He came to the" Chlcagos in 1901. and .has been there ever since, catching icnany games each year, taking the pounding of many pitchers season af ter season, and with no falling off In the quality of his work.- . He is one of those day-in-day-out catchers who do all the better work Ifor doing a great deal of it. The feackstop is the recipient of more ac tual battering than any other man fn a team, and in view of this fact t Is somewhat surprising that some ot them such as Kllng. Bresnahan. Oooln and Sullivan can do so much rork and do it so well. ' Eddie Plank, the crack pitcher of .the Athletics, has been with Connie Alack for seven consecutive years, end with no other. He has come to be as xnach of a fixture in Philadel phia as Christy Matthewson has In 27ew York. Like Plank, Matthewson's fclg league career has been confined to one team. He pried his way into major company "the same year as yiank 1801. The &ew Yorks came mighty near losing Matthewson on a couple of oc casions, one when he vas about to jump to the St. Louis Browns during the war time, and once when he was .traded to Cincinnati for Rusie, but tm. traded back before the season opened. In 19 OS. when Matthewson and Plank faced each other on the slab In the opening game of the world's series, each had come to his respective club an unknown, and In the Interim became famous - In the same length of time and without changing employers. Fred Clarke and Barney. Fred Clarke. Tommy Leach and Hans Wagner nre conspicuous exam ple3 of, men who have not been with one club all the time -they have been fin the National Laague. They have (however, been with one employer all ithat time Barney Dreyfuss. They were with Dreyfuss when he ( owned the Louisville club, and came with him to Pittsburg. In due time Jlhey will pass out. -possibly playing fin some other city before retiring, though that Is not likely, but when .they, do step down and out Pitts burgers will feel that they have sus tained a personal loss, so firmly have Clarke, Wagner and Leach become jxart and parcel of. the Smoky City jLaseball and its traditions. Pitta purg has helped make them famous.

In, Sec retary Farrell's latest bulletin the announcement of. a contract of Har ry Mace with the South Atlantic League Is made. When asked about this matter yesterday Secretary E. N. Gregory, Jr., of the Virginia State League, states that he holds a letter from President Jones, of the Sally League, which gives . Mace a free hand, and which called off the deal which was on between the two. Had Mace gone so far as to have accepted terms with the Sally circuit. Jones letter serves as a release and left. Mace free -to sign wherever he pleased, and his choice was the Vir ginia League. His contract Is now with Secretary Farrell for promulga tion, together with a statement from the Sally circuit president, which states that Mace had not signed there. Gregory did not accept a contract from Mace until he was sure of Mace being free. - An -Ideal Cough Medicine.

Wiltse said that he had received a contract for $3,000, but that he would not accept such terms under any consideration. Wiltse Is in excellent condition right now.

The season for coughs and colds Is now at hand and too much care can not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy Is the sole reli ance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried It are willmg to use any other. Mrs. P. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W. Va., says: "I have never used anything other - than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children, and it has always given good satisfaction." This remedy con tains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult. For sale 'by. R. H. Jordan & Co. . . . , . .

MARCH 20. The World says: One of the surprises of the training season is Johnny Cocash, the little outfielder who comes to the Giants from Springfield. III. For a few days Cocash showed nothing par ticularly noteworthy, but as he lim bered up he began to astonish Mc- Oraw and Robertson by his wonderful ability as a snap hitter. He uses his bat very much as does Willie Keeler. He swings entirely with the arm. keeping his body erect. While at Martin he made the remarkable rec ord of thirteen hits In three days. three of which were home runs. Cocash la only twenty-three years old, but has been playing ball for three years. He is short and stocklly built His weight Is deceptive, as he tips the beam at 160 pounds. He does not look to weigh over 140. Co- cash makes his home at Ietroit. but has been In Springfield. 111., for three years. Last season his oatung av erage was .272, but that was due to the fact that he got a bad start. Dur ing the season he Med the league in number of hits, as ne peeled ore 154. ' Cocash is a great favorite at the hotels where he stops on .account of his great love for children. He spends an hour or two every day taking tne little fellows out for walks and tak ing part In their games. It is a com mon sight to see him seated in a hotel lobby with six or seven little tots climbing all over him. , DO XXIV WILD REMAIN" AN ACTOR m Jlike Issues Statement Which Says That He Haa Signed a Theatre Con tract.
