Stallings is badly in need of pitchers, while Robinson is well equipped with box performer: and the chances are that the baseball werld will be startled in the near future with the news of a sensational trade between the two clubs wherein Brooklyn will fill the gap at short by the additian of Maranville, while in return Boston will get two star players, one a pitcher.

Mor- SMOKE OXMOOR A MILD, PLEASANT 5c CIGAR commendable | Cleveland | Local | { pitchers were wild and had poor sup- | port. defeat- | the Coast Ar- Leonard; | Catherine Dolan. | Walter | 34 suggested a Cincinnati The first gossip that Christy Mathewson manager turned the drift tack just sixteen years as of thought For sixteen Cincinnati fted Matty irginia league, later years fram Norfolk, ago in the v short while and then, a traded him to New Yor for Amos Rusie. This deal was worth at least half a | i million dollars to the New York club, | | for, while Rusie soon plunged head- | iong below human view, the Norfolk recruit began at once the greatest | pitching career that baseball has ev known. For, eame: in while Rusie won but few for the Red citadel, Mathewsor. | teen years has won 368 games | for New York, against 175 defeats. | And in five of those sixteen years| | Mathewson has been one of the;j premier factors in lifting the Giants | into first place. 1 | In view of this past history, it would | te only justice for Redland ta get back the man she turned adrift nearly | 1wo decades ago There is no telling what baseball fortunes in both cities would have | been changed if Cincinnati had de cided to hold the tall voung recruit | and let Rusie remain in New York. | As it is, it would be fitting for | Matty to return to where he started | and as a manager make up for the | many defeats he would have saved as Redland star. a We have been asked anywhere from 980 to 19,980 times just what sort of | manager Mathewson would make, | The test alone can determine this, for a manager to make a name needs three factors—the ability, the material —and his share of luck. The few great managers, such as McGraw and Mack, have been able to develop or to get the material from time to time. This Is proven by the fact that to- gether they have won eleven pennants | with five built-over machines. But, | leaving all that aside, there is no | reason now in evidence why Matty shouldn't make an ideal leader. To begin with, he has rare jude- ! ment and a keen brain. He has all| the experience in actual play there | happens to be. He has been trained under one of the wisest men that | baseball has ever known. No other| plaver would carry greater respect. | He has the necessary firmness, for his nature is more of the decisive type | than the contemplative. No man has | | een more liked or more respected, | for when he was at work it was gen- erally recognized that three factors were on the job—a great arm, a great head and a world of courage. McGraw Still Fighting, place of two smashed setbacks, John McGraw has not vet given up the battle against Brooklyn, Boston ind Philadelphia | The additions he has made to his club will give him a new start, and if he can get his men away from the { Tinx idea at home he still has a chance with his great offensive power to get up around the peak. The Glant record away from home has | been sufficient to put the club well | inta the lead, and if it ever gets the idea back that a winning streak can also be started upon home sod, there may be four clubs left in the Na- ticnal league race in place of only three.
