This would be a pretty safe margin at this stage | of the proceedings if he were batting l'in his usual form, but with hig bat- ting only a quarter of what it usually i3 the lead is none too safe, and if he doesn’t regain his ‘“punch” for the balance of the season there is a bright chance of another taking the batting crown away from him. FEDS WANT MUGGSY TO JOIN LEAGUE Little Napolcon Wanted by Gilmore as Manager for New York Feds— To Get $40,000 o Year., New York, Sept, 15—If John Mec- Graw places moncy above sentiment, he may hecome the manager of the New York Federa! league club, which is tb invade the lecal field next sea- gon. It hecamos known yesterday thot Jim Gilmore and Harry Sinclair, who are busy organizing the New York outfit, are awaiting McGraw’s return here wiih an offer that rivals a king’s ransome. They are willing to guaran- tee the Giant leader something like §200,000 for his services for five vears, the biggest offer in the his- : | tory of hasebail. B, Bept. 16—The Phillles de- | oporia o Should McGraw accept the offer he will no doubt get himself inio legal difficulties as his contract with the New York c¢'ub has two more years to run. It may be, that McGraw could get his release ror the asking, for there would be no sense in Harry Hempstead's holding ¢n to a marager by force when that man wants to go elsewhere. The Federals, the story gocs are, willing to take chancas on being able to use McGraw in the cvent of a legal bat- tle. McGraw turned down a Federal 0! offer two years If McGraw has any ideas of step- pring out of the National league, this looks like quite a propiious time to make that move. The Giants are now a hopeless crew, and the outloock for next season is not one whit Lrighter than it is at present. The bunch of rookies the Giant scouts have corraled dc not give promise of i developing anything wonderful for next year, and good ball players do not appear 1o be on the marker, especially as far as the Giants are concerned, New York seems to be in for at least another season of drought in the National league. McGraw hopped the league jn its infancy back and he may decide to do the same thing now., He quit as leader of the Baltimore club to go over to John Brush as manager of the Giants There was quite o piece of change in the transfer for McGraw, and there is a whole lot more at stake right now-. Baseball sentiment is fast becom- ing a negligible quantity, and a pos- sible jump by MoGraw would not be viewed with a8 much horror as it would have aroused several years ago. McGraw undoubtedly soured on the Giants this vear on account cf their lackadaisical attitude. The club's action in failing to back him up ia the Kauff case also did not serve to American in 1902, make matters &ny better. It is also however, | sald, on good authority, that. all re- ports to the contrary, McGraw holds no stock in the New York club, muca as he has desirea and tried to do so. When « man like 3inclair behind the Federal offer, it assumes pretty serious proportions. McGraw would be the making of the New York Feds, for no matter how the Giants go. their lcader’s following here assurcs it of a good patronage. McGraw's going would prcbably mean the loss of half the financial and playing efh- ‘cism‘_\' of the Giants—that is, unless | some remarkable leader superceded him. According to Gilmore the Feds are gathering a star outfit for New York that will rival the best in Organized baseball. The player problem is no ‘longer worrying the independents, ays their presidents, but they are on the lookout for a big figure as manager. It certainly would be g ten strike if they landed McGraw, LOCAL BOWLERS WIN TWO IN MIDDLETOWN Actna Alley Boys Take Contest in the River City Last Evcning.

Other men to report were some promising substitutes of last year's eleven, members of last year's freshman team and scrubs. Coaches Sharpe, Reed and Van Or- man divided the players up into back end and line sroups and put them through preliminary work. Capt. Barrett limbered up his punting leg and sent some high ones down for the ¢nds and backs to handle. Forward season- to make the men familiar with hand- ling the ball were attempted also.

' Where are, you ask, the thrills ' of Yesteryear ? The good old thrills skill and science? Before you ask again this: Look at them Giants. for baseball I pray you HUMPTY, Proving Something—and Nothing. Dar Sir: A great deal has been written about the driving tvpe of manager. Doesn't the fact that Pat Moran, who isn't a driver, has his team in first place, while McGraw and Herzog, hard taskmasters, are at the foot, prove that, after all, men are niore easily led than driven? G. L. F. Sometimes we doubt very much whether anything proves anvthing in Or whether nothing won't or anything won't prove nothing, Pat Moran, an easy, likeable leader, has the Phillies in front. But the hardest driver in the game, George Stallings, won a world series last vear, and ig Moran's hardest rival this fall. Also, while McGraw, a hard criver, is down at the foot, Connle Mack, of the opposite type, is not only at the foot, but jammed tightly into the heel within close danger of going on through. You have Moran and Mack on one side against Stallings and McGraw on the other. And Stallings and McGraw have won the last four N. L. pennants, while the main decoration of Mr. Mack’s house are sald to be gon- falons of various vintages, barring cnly the 1916 model. Which Proves What? Some of the best managers we have ever seen in baseball were of the Moran-Mack type. And others, fully as good, were of the opposite mould. Which proves that there is no set recipe to travel by. The main idea is to get the best work out of the men—to keep them on the jump—and Loth the systems of Moran and Stal- lirgs can accomplish this when operated by a Moran or a Stallings. It is merely a matter of managerial knack, magnetiem or power, which rediates from different sources. Yes, It's Tough. Satd Packey to Mike—as the kale he crumpled— “We've certainly earned this dough; 1 might have had my hair rumpled— And you might have sprained a toe.” sSaid Mike to Packey: ‘‘We've earned the price With a few bills over due; You nearly hit me once or twice— And I nearly hit you, too.” The Braves needed a miracle to ‘win last season, and pretty soon all they will need to win this season will be ten tons of dynamite and fourteen siege guns. “1¢ Packey and Mike can get the money, why not?” asks Rufus. We'll be the goat—what's the answer? Crawford vs. Cravath. Those two ancient slugging rivals, Sam Crawford and Gabby Cravath, are still at it. Each is the long dis- tance clouter of his circuit, and at the present writing Cravath leads Crawford by ninety-eight extra bases, ugainst eighty-five for Wahoo Sam. output of bases is £58, against 221 for the hard smiting Quaker, Cravath is a grand free-swinging bitter—an eminent handler of the wooden mace. But as good as he is, | we doubt that he is quite as far up the Slugging Heights as Crawford is. Cravath’'s margin of extra bases comes in his home run total, and a goodly portion of these four-sackers has resulted from short fence barri- cades. Crawford, with all his slug- ging ability, has belted only four home runs in American league parks, | while Cravath has piled up twenty- one. So here is a margin by sixty- eight extra nases provided for Gabby by the home run route, where he had shorter fences to fire at. The extra.- base advantage in the| National league, due to briefer pas- turage in many of the parks, is shown in the fact that, in addition to Cra- vath, Saier, Long, Doyle, Hinchman, Whagner anq Cy Williams have all hit for greater totals than Cobb, Jack- son and Speaker, Yet no one would accuse several of these estimable athletes of being harder hitters than the A. L. three mentioned a line or two above. The Home Run Output. There isn't probably any great Gifference in the smashing ability of the two circuits. If there is, the rrargin is hardly against such bat- ting eves as thosc possessed by Craw- ford, Cobb, Collins, Jackson, Speaker, Feurnier, Lewls and Veach, PORT - LIGHT Yet to date the National league has amassed sixty-three home Tuns, against twenty-eight for the other circuit. And whatever your leanings, you could hardly call the National league better than a two to one one proposition in the slugging line above the American. Maxims of the Nineteenth Hole. Today thou shalt hit them upon the nozzle, straight and far, and shall deem your form is fixed. But tomorrow thy caddie shall fol- low thee with a sour heart and a lurid eve as he zigzags his way from pit to bunker and from bunker back to pit. The pendulum fs taking its allotted course. As baseball sags a trifie in the middle, racing takes a brace that puts it within an easy half length of the days when the Sport of Kings was something else beside feeding human flesh to cannon. These FEuropean war scares are blighting things upon the market. Cobb, preferred, that lately sold at .403, is now quoted at .372. Looks like a first class buy at this price. MIDDIES IN GOOD SHAPE, Annapolis, Sept. 16.—Three weeks of steady work have put the big squad of new midshipmen in such excellent shape that the hot weather of the last week has not prevented even short scrimmages. The work has taken on an advanced character. Lieut. Ingram, head coach, has had as his assistants Hardwick, the crack back at Harvard last year; Lieut. C. E. Smith, who played a brilliant game at quarterback for the Navy some years ago, and Wheatley of Annapolis Each coach took charge of a full eleven yesterday and some signal work was held- Ag on every afternoon considerable attention was paid to the forward pass, A number of the backs and ends are handling the ball excellently- The main squad will return on Sep- tember 20, which gives about two week's preparation for the opening game against Georgetown. NEW MEN AT PENN. Port Deposit, Md., Sept. 14.—As new candidates continue to pour into the Penn training camp daily pros- rects for a sturdy forward line and a fast experienced backfield loom far more promising than a week ago. Coach Carl Williams arrived yes- terday and watched two elevens run through e signal drill and light scrim- mage work for more than aa hour this afternoon. Kenneth Witherow arrived yester- day, weighing 204 pounds, and the big fellow declared that he is ten pounds under weight. Witherow’s ar- rival brings the number of linemen now here up to a round dozen, and of these Russell, Henning, Neill, Dor- izas and Witherow each weight close to 200 pounds. DARTMOUTH HAS TO GO SLOW. Hanover, N. H. Sept. 15.—The Dartmouth foothall squad, compris- ing sixty men, was unable to hold any regular practice yesterday owing to the intense heat, the work being limited to passing the ball and punt- ing.
