Chicago, Sept. 28—Postponement _of the Chicago-New York games today. necessitating playing a game in New York next Monday, caused a swift change to be made in the schedule of exhibition games for the American League champions. Instead of playing Cleveland here next Tuesday, as originally planned the game will be transferred to Cleve- land. The teams will return here for a game Wednesday. As the contests are not under the jurisdiction of the national commission the players will not shire in the receipts. The games will be the last in which the Chicago club will engage before meeting New ; York in the world’s series. St. Louis Wins Municipal Golf. Worcester, Mass.

M'GRAW VS. ROWLAND. Characteristics and Methods of the Opposing Managers in the Big Series. New York, Sept. 28.-—Although the activities of Clarence Rowland of the Chicago Americans_or Manager John J. McGraw of the New York Nation- als will not carry them beyond the con- fines of the coachers' box they will be factors’of extreme importance in the coming World Series between these two clubs. Differing widely in both their methods of baseball strat- egy and personal control of players these two diamond leaders _have achieved maried distinction _during thein carcers as player and manager. Of) the two McGraw has had the longer experience and record in con- nection with professional baseball and there are few men serving in this ca- pacity today who can be faid to rank with the manager of the Giants. Row- land, on the other hand, while a com- paratively new comer umong the lead- ers of major league teams has flash- ed across the horizon of the national Zame like a meteor, his short career in the Amecrican league comins to the present climax with the capture of a pennant at the end of his second sea- son with the club owned by Charles Comiskey. The manager of the New York club is the older of the two having been born at Truxton, N. Y., in 1873, whiie Rowland's birth occurred at_Platte- ville, Wis., six vears later. McGraw also’ entered upon his baseball train- ing some thirteen seasons before the White Sox leader made his debut in professional circles. The Giant's di- amond director began his first real play with the Orleans club of the New 1590 while it was not until 1903 that Rowland don- ned the catcher’s armor with the Du- buque, Ta., club of the Three I league. It has been said of McGraw. and not without truth, that he learned his game in the oid school of baseball. He has, however, never ceased to _study the many angies and details of the sport and is as quick to see the ad- vantage of a new play as he was twen- ty vears ago. There is little in the wide fleld of baseball stratesy that McGraw does not know and several of the best pleces of so-called “inside baseball” are the direct result of care- ful study on his part. It is not sur- prising, therefore, that McGraw should bave confidence in his ability and judgment and demand explicit obe- dience to his instructions. McGraw has been called a_hard task- jmaster by some of the plavers who {have positions under him but he has never shirked responsibility when disaster, has marked his efforts or at- tempts “to outwit the opposing team. Few moves on the part of a player will arouse greater wrath in McGraw than the deliberate i R t bt bases or in the field. When coaching signals are foliowed, howev- er, and the play falls flat the Glants’ manager accepts the blame without the slightest hesitation or effort pass the responsibility to those un- der him. Of the many stars who have played under McGraw very few indeed have been accorded the privilege of acting upon their own initiative or judgment Christy Mathewson, these notable exceptions. When Mc- played he does not mince words. He has the quick temper of the Ceitic Tace and the willingness and ability to back up his words and actions with deeds if necessary with the result that in days gone by players who resented McGraw's managerial methods were frequently at odds with the field gen- eral of the Giants.

Banks lost depositors, merchants lost trade. The names of the signers were said to have been printed in a little book and a copy furnished to each saloon keeper, and e ver since, all through these years, so far as these men could be reached, they have intimidated, villified and injured. When this year a new attempt was made to have a vote on this question, scores if not hundreds of men declined to sign BECAUSE of these facts. This of course was what the liquor dealers sought. They wanted TO MAKE IT IMPOS- SIBLE EVER TO HAVE ANOTHER PETITION GOT. This in itself was a most unjust interference with the freedom of the voter to discharge a simple and plain right of citizenship. . Now to cap all their effrontery when in spite of all this a petition bearing 590 odd names of registered voters was filed as the law requires, these same liquor dealers have fought with intense bitterness against having a vote taken on this question. They have attempted to deprive these 590 citizens of their SACRED RIGHT OF PETITION, a right that goes to the very foundation of. our democracy. In his decision, Judge Greene brushes aside the trivial objections, de- clares the petition valid, and orders the election to proceed.

It is in reference to this rather sar- denic_observation that Mr. Gilman writes in his account of the quarter millennial celebration of Norwich: The Mayor of Norwich doubtless re- membered the time honored maxim “say nothing but zood of the dead, when he humorously eaid “The .best citidens of Norwich are in the grave- yard!” However true that may be, it is nevertheless certain that they did not always escape the breath of Alumny in their lifetime.
