Such Being Existence. While New York.is mourning the abgence of a league leader, affairs might be differént if the Giants had ihé defensive strength of the Yanks or the Yanks had the batting power of the Giants. The Giants have a tough time win- ning even when batting above par, whereag the Yanks start to back up the moment they begin to hit.. The tough part of this, ana other games, being that you géneraliy lack ‘what you need the most.

SCHALK Chicago, June 17.—Clarence Row- land is making good in big league company, and oné has but to ques- tion the players and managers of rival teams for verification of that state. ment. Various managers have charged all kinds of heinous crimes to the ‘“minor league” manager of the White Sox, but the only.charge they ¢an prove against him is that he has his team surcharged with confi- dence and fighting. “Svengali,” says one of his critics and produces as proafs theé batting and Rowland is a| PR 'fl -.\s\ fidlding averages of several players who, until the advent of}the and that goes double for hypnotism. | of his minor leaguer, were considered in and l outers. Now these plueu are play- | ing like stars, and the ‘“critics” blame Rowland’s hypnotic powers for the improvement. If it could be proved that it is poseible to improve a man’'s batting average or speed by merely making him suhbgervient to another’s will, every leagué manager would be- come a hypnotist and the game would seé the greatest collection of *'stars” every gathéred ‘under the big tent.” Another charge made against Rov-l land and against the eéntife team vsr that of eignal stealing, - There seems , t6 be no grounds for this charge.
