A PENNANT SAVED BY "PEERLESS
LEADER" CHANCE
FEW players 'n buscball have had a buslor career than Frank
Chance, the so-called "Peerless Leader" of the Chicago Cubs. As a
finished first baseman, an opportune hitter, a leader of men and a fight
ing manager, Chance has had few peers and no superiors.
He has led his men to victory four times in the National league,
twice has lowered the colors of the White Sox and on two occasions has
directed his conquering heroes to world's pennants. The Cub leader In all
these struggles has loomed as tho central figure Inspiring to deeds of valor
and revealing a battling spirit that has challenged the admiration even of
his bitterest foes on the diamond.
»In 1909 the Cubs took a pennant
from the White Sox In a city aeries
and In the fourth game, one of the
greatest ever played In Chicago, Man
ager Chance made a play {hat In it
self saved a flag for his club and
avenged the defeat of 1906 when
JW* Comlskey's men humbled the homo
It ''"l- rivals in the world's series.
\ Walsh, Comlskey's greatest
/jy|y M pitcher, was opposed by Orvle Over
a", hurling one of the great games
of hl« career. The Cubs had taken
jMH Mjwl two games and the White Sox one.
r-A-W I The South Slders needed this game
to tie up the series.
iVVUNI UPn ""Hi Walsh Overall were
SSe difficult to lilt on that day, but the
yW' great splthall pitcher was a trifle
wild at tho start, very unusual for a
L slabblst numbering control as one of
his reliable assets. The Cubs had
BIPIO dribbled In two runs In the first and
JBr jjggijjfiK third Innings and the White Sox hnd
WjUmß counted a single run In the fourth.
f**rVfr Walsh had settled down to his
3NKS jm jsgKtjK) matchless pace In which he was
practically hltless. The hope of the
IK* Cubs lay In holdlijg their advantage.
> vF» And It was Chance himself who
turned back his opponents at the dan
ger point, saved the day for the Cubs
Hp • and enabled his men to take the game
■P that "cinched" the pennant.
The real crisis came In the fifth
7§P Inning. Manager Sullivan lifted a fly
to Sheckard. Walsh surprised Overall
by reaching out and swinging on a wiio
on ® fl " n H,n * le over "econd Overall
' was In a tight place when he had three
aiaWr balls on Alt I zer, but steadied and put
A * over two strikes. Altlzer hit the next
_ . ball pitched for a single to left center,
rranK unance. ... , , ... . ... .
Walsh pulling up to third.
As Isbell came up the signal was flashed for the squeeze play. Ovenill
pitched to cut the outer edge, Isbell swung on the ball and Walsh dasNfed
for home. It was a hard grounder down the first base foul line.
Divining his opponent's Intentions, Chance did not hesitate what to do
In the crisis. The Cubs' leader dashed out, fielded the ball In a flash, wheeled
and whipped It to the plate. Kllng received the sphere a few feet to tho left
of tho home base and tagged Walsh sliding to the plate.
That bit of quick fielding and thinking probably saved the pennant for
the Cubs. Had Chance wished to play safe by tagging Isbell, Walsh would
have scored the tying run and the great pitcher had already settled down
for one of Ills famous extra Inning duels.

BRISCOE LORD'S BIG PART IN HUMBLING
tfIANTS LAST YEAR
BRISCOE LORD, left fielder of the champion Athletics, played second
fiddle as ft hero to "Homo Run" Haker In tho world' baseball series
October 16, 1911. Lord made oue of the greatest plays of Its kind ever
seen In a crucial test at the season's close. This pennant-winning
play, marveled at by those who saw It, In the tide of swiftly passing
events has been forgotten. That one great stop and wonderful throw helped
check the rlßlng hopes of New York fnndotn, cast a gloom over the Gotham
rooters and gave Eddie Plank a confidence that made him that day Invincible.
Of all the great throwing outfielders In the major leagues there Is none
who has P, shade on Lord, tho pegging wonder who consummated this play.
He is one player Connie Mack re
leased and then took back again.
Mack missed that great right arm
and was ill at ease until Lord was
back In the fold in a Quaker uniform.
This wonderful heave of Lord's
came in tho second game of the
I world's The Giants had trl-
L umphed in tho first combat In the
metropolis, through the great pitch
ing of Christy Mathewson and the
timely hatting of Devore and Meyers.
i- New York fans were mad with joy.
ra Bettors were laying heavy odds on
A the Olants to take the series. Tho

y With the contest a tie and the
its-—great throng of fans in a feverish
" state of excitement, Fred Snodgrass,
Briscoe Lord. th ® Becon l Player up in the sixth
Inning, caused an explosion among
the New York partisans when he met one of Plank's cross-fire shoots squarely
for a terrific drive to left. It was a screaming smash that looked the next
door neighbor to a home run.
Lord dashed for the ball and Snodgrass, rounding first, started pell mell
for second. The fielder sped so fast his momentum carried him over the foul
11ns In deep left. Lord made a desperate lurch, speared the ball cleanly,
steadied himself and shot It to Jack Barry, covering second, for the greatest
throw of the series. Barry, without moving from his tracks, tagged Snod
grass out. and the fans gave Lord a hand seldom accorded a ball player for a
similar feat. That great play, followed by Frank Baker's home run smash,
sounded the knell of New York's hope and gave the Athletics a confidence
that Mi* them Invincible In that championship,

By HUGH JENNINGS,
Manager Detroit Tigers, Who Is Re
gardsd as Perhaps the Best Short,
stop of All Time, and One of the
Greateet of Baseball Leaders.
There never Is a doubt in my ipln!
as to the biggest mistake of my base
ball career, and this spring I hav
thought about It more than I ever did
This blunder was my failure to take 1
tip of a friend out In Idaho and get
Walter Johnson a couple of montbi
before Washington ever heard of him
My friend's report was too good to b
true, and I came to the conclusion
that he, like the rest of us, was let
ting his enthusiasm run away with hit
judgment. I guesa Walter would fit
In bad with Detroit Just now!
But I suppose the thing you want li
about the worst mistake I ever mad
on a ball Held. I expect the specta
tors can tell you a lot worae ones on
me, but the worst blunder In my en
tire career, according to my own waj
of thinking, was one I made during
the strenuous days of 1897 and 1898
when Baltimore and Boston wert
about equal In strength and alwayi
battling with each other. I have for
gotten which year it happened In, bul
I never have forgotten my mistake
How I came to make It I never could
explain, except on the grounds thai
after thinking out the entire situation
and knowing exactly what to do, I lost
my head at the critical instant.
Baltimore was playing in Boston
&
pfe P"
Hugh Jennings.
and tho series, and seemingly the sea
son, hung upon the result of the game.
We came down to the ninth Inning
one run to the good and fighting every
Inch of the way to hold our advan
tage. Wo failed to score In the ninth,
and Boston came In for the final ef
fort, still one to the bad, and forced
runners to second and third with only
one man out. That compelled us to
pull the Infield in to keep them from
tying the score. The play of course
was to the plate. I knew the habits
of the batter, and as 1 camo In I
caught the catcher's signal and edged
up closer to the third baseman, cal
culating that If he hit that kind of a
ball at all the batter would pull It
toward third, and there would be two
of us up there with a chance to get It
I figured exactly right. He pulled the
ball hard between Bhort and third, and
if I had played where I ordinarily
would have done, the bail would have
gone through for a clean base hit. Aa
It was, the ball came straight at me,
bounding well, and I fumbled it and
allowed the tying score to go home. A
fumble even under those circum
stances is not a blunder; It is part of
the game; but this time I evidently
lost my head, forgot what I was doing,
and as the ball rolled back I Jumped
for It. The runner coming from sec
ond was rounding third, and all I
would have had to do was to toss the
ball there and stop it at a tie. In
stead, I leaped onto that ball, grabbed
it and threw toward first. It was too
late to get the man anyhow, and it
wasn't the play, but that made»no dif
ference then. I cut loose, and not
only threw to the wrong place but
threw wild, let the winning run' score,
and almost lost the pennant.
I can't see how a play can be much
wronger than that, for I didn't do any
thing right except figure it out.
