Philadelphia, May 18. Thd an nouncement that Frank Chance may l)e compelled to watch tho work of his. Cubs from the bench for tho remainder of tho season is the cause of the spirit of gloom that Is cast over tho entlro Chicago squad to day. For throe weeks the fighting lead, er of tHe-Cuba must endure a plaster cast upon a fractured shoulder blade on his salary aide, and If at the end of atttho end of that period the frac ture 'is not set properly, Chance will have to remain on tho bench for tho rest of the season, or run the risk of spraining the injured tAiouldeV that will keep him out of the ga.me for life. Yesterday Chance visited Dr. J. P. Mann, a bono specialist. Mann said the cast was the only posilblo salva tion for tbe Injured membor, and even Intimated that its success Is doubtful.
