What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising** for New York City hotels (Le Marquis, Earlington, Van Rensselaer) and magazines (National Sportsman). The one substantive content is "About Diamond Stars," a sports column by Ed A. Gorwey discussing **Frank Chance**, manager of the New York Yankees. The piece recounts a trade Chance made: he dealt **Hal Chase** to the Chicago White Sox for **Rollo Zeider** and **Borton**—a deal that backfired badly when Zeider arrived injured and Borton underperformed, while Chase thrived in Chicago. A sportswriter subsequently mocked Chance in print, saying all he got for Chase was "an onion and a bunion" (onion=Borton; bunion=Zeider's foot injury). Chance allegedly took offense and ended their friendship over the joke, illustrating his lack of humor about his own managerial failures. The brief poem at bottom about waistlines appears unrelated filler.

GORWEY -ON NDOUBTEDLY Frank Chance, man- ager of the New York Yankees, has a sense of humor, else he couldn't have retained his health during all the years that he has been trying to make stars out of the material passed along to him from the bush leagues. But he is not exactly what one would call a ‘‘jolly cutup,”’ and incidents have been related where he failed to appreciate a joke when tured against himself. One case in point hap pened shortly after he traded Hal Chase, the great first sacker, to the Chicago White Sox, for Rollo Zeider and First Baseman Borton—a deal that turned oat to be a complete fizzle at the New York end and wrested from Chance his laurels as the David Harum of the baseball world. As the fans will remember, Bortoa failed to make good and was sent to the minors in a hurry, and Zeider reported to his new boss with a bunion, and after trying to play in a few contests, was f} forced to go to a hospital for an oper: f tion that put him out of the game for months. Chase, on the other hand, went to Chicago and ‘‘delivered the goods."" One day a writer on a metropolitan daily, in referring to the New York Chicago trade, said in print, ‘*All that Chance got for Chase was an onion ands bunion,’’ The onion, of course, was Bor- ton, and the bunion meant Zeider. Chance, so the story goes, was furious at the thrust, and though the writer and he formerly had been intimate, their friendship ‘twent a-glimmering’’ right then and there. Natural Instinct No matter how the waist line swerves With fashion’s fluctuation, Somehow a fellow’s arm still curves Right round the true location.
