Whiffs Frank Chance Criticized Over Trade Remark
The piece questions Frank Chance's sanity after he said he would not trade Hal Chase for Ty Cobb or Sam Crawford. It notes the high regard for Chance but argues such a statement lowers confidence, while Bill Smith plans to strengthen pitching to stay competitive. Georgia and Tech gear up for a four game series, with Georgia favored on paper. President Kavanaugh of the Southern League is expected in Atlanta to present the opening day trophy for best attendance after the Crackers finish their road trip.
