		Evers was batting.285 and leading the New York State League with 10 home runs (only two less than he hit in his entire 18-year major-league career), but he was regarded as a nuisance because of his short temper and his insistence that the local ballpark be available for practice at all times of the day.
		Evers was as high-strung as he was brainy-one reporter described him as a "keen little umpire-fighting bundle of nerves"-and sometimes those nerves got the better of him.
		Evers said he wouldn't report, and his refusal was made more piquant by the fact that the Federal League was offering him $30,000 to forsake the NL altogether.

		Their victory was eased by the dilution of talent caused by player losses to the Federals and by a power vaccuum which saw the NL's dominant teams of the early twentieth century - the Giants, Cubs, and Pirates - in decline.

		Forever poetically linked to Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers by F. Adams' "Baseball's Sad Lexicon," Frank Chance made his mark as the Cubs' player-manager from 1905 through 1912 as part of the "Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance" double play infield.
		Although not widely regarded as one of the game's greatest fielders, Chance holds a special place in the hearts of Cub fans for his hustle and his hardnosed approach to motivating his players, not to mention guiding the much-maligned Cubs to their last two World Series titles in 1907 and 1908.
		In 1903, when Johnny Kling, one of the best catchers of the era, took over the full responsibilities behind the plate, and regular first baseman Bill Hanlon unexpectedly abandoned the team, manager Frank Selee moved Chance to first base as a temporary replacement until a more suitable fielder could be found.
