Special Correspondence of The Star.
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA,
October 13, 1905.
Virginia has a foot ball team now
that, though light, is the fastest ever seen
here. Coach Cole has won the good will
and the love of every man, and now has six
teen men at the training table who are
ready TO work for him as long they last.
The acquisition of trainer is proving prof
liable to the squad Immediately, and Lam
nihan is giving all athletics boom.
At the training table there NJ T.
Cooke, captain, of Norfolk, 176 pounds, who
plays a tackle this year and has had two
years experience on Virginia teams.
Charlie" Haskell, a star guard in 1900, is
playing the other tackle, and weighs l66.
Dangerteld, from Kentucky University,
and Murphy, from last years team,
weighing $50 and go pounds, respectively,
are the guards.
Dabney, 1872, Is this years center. He
was hurt in the Pennsylvania game last
fall and had to stop. SO this is practically
his first year of varsity foot ball. His
weight and height six feet two inches,
make him valuable. but. in addition, he is
an 1-second man, and so can keep up the
speed of the team.
The two ends, Barry and Warren, are
Virgnia's stars They weigh 160 and 1o2
pounds, respectively. Barry is from Caro-
lima. and was Carpenters mainstay last
year.
For the half backs there are Crawford and
Johnson. Crawford weighs ia and john
son $50. Dodson will play full back. and
he weighs 1888. Randolph, 135, last years
quarter back, is playing quarter and doing
the punting.
Maddox, NAPLES. Burke Kolloch. Fletch-
er and Bennett have seats at the table, and
all stand a good show of getting in the
games with the Indians and Bucknel.

HOW GIANTS WON
NATIONAL REMNANT

ITO begin with, you can't expect me to
have any graces of composition. I'm not
a writer. I'm a ball player, and having
your fingers all bunged up by stopping hot
throws does not make them deft with the
pen. But if you'll stand for my rough
style, I'll try to tell you why the Giants
won the pennant of the National League"
says Dan Mccain in the st. Louis Star.
There are no stars on the team. Each
part is the ninth part of unit, working
whole.
IF you ask me to what one thing more
than any other is the success of the Giants
due, l have the answer: McGraw!
There are many strings that have con-
tributed to make us champions. but they
are all gathered in the hand of McGraw.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-10-15

Ball players are naturally pretty rugged
in disposition. The gentle manners neces-
sary in a parlor would be somewhat too
delicate for the ball field. And this is just
as true of college-bred men as 1t is of those
who never ate their grass with fork.
"McGraw got us together, developed US
and made US champions. McGraw has his
way, with the emphasis on his He stands
for no contradiction, no return argument
It's never VIII you do this? It's DO It.
And it's done-done McGraw's way.

'McGraw lost that opening game. But
what was one game to the Giants? He
had saved the greatest pitcher that ever
faced a batter.
THE lesson was sufficient for Mathew
SON.
Catching a ball and making a base hit
are very small parts of the national game.
The average spectator knows very little
OF the real work team may be putting
up to win.
You will hear fan criticise a catcher,
for instance.
That guy can't throw to bases any
thing like so and So
There's q foul that so and so would
eat
Maybe. But the critic forgets that the
catcher, who may be bit slower OF foot
and arm than another, happens to be the
one who is guiding the pitcher to victory.
Without his steadying mind that boy on
the slab would look like Lou Dillon hitched
to wheelbarrow.
Getting runs is obviously the main
thing. The Giants work continually and
always collectively toward that end
'.Get the run in. That's McGraw's shib-
boleth.
'McGraw, team work, harmony among
the personnel of the men and McGraw
are responsible for the success OF the
Giants"

with Kelly to cheer his slightest effort
and to whoop with glee at his errors. Be

crowded with those who wanted to shake

biggest city. To sit in the sun on broil
ing afternoon and listen to Latham was the
keenest kind of enjoyment for the average
cracking jokes today.
Adrian c. Arson was the colossus of the
game. Men came to see him bat, to realize
his qualities of leadership and to Shrek
with delight whenever he was worsted in
a run-fn with the umpire Where Is there
the prototype or successor of ''Uncle Anse"
today? Not in any league.
Pete Browning was a magnet quite equal
to Hans Wagner. Petes quaint ways and
absurd idioms lent spice to the attraction
of his slugging-and Pete, too, has had no
successor.

No pitcher. however, ever attained the
hero-worship given such stars as Ewing
Kelly, Latham and other warriors Of the
past. One of the last Of the popular idols,
and one of the most likabe was William
LANCE. The gigantic Californian was not
only wonderful ball player, but one of the
most manly and lovable personalities that
ever shone in the forefront of the game.
The era of popular idols has passed, and
the present epoch is that of team work
and the science of the game. VIII the
idols ever come back, and will there ever
be another set of men such as those we
loved SO long ago?

: American-Bred Trotters

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. October IA. - Estrada
Palma. the president of the republic OF
Cuba. has just paid high tribute to the
trotting-bred carriage horse of America
and incidentally merited compliment to
one of the foremost American dealers in
such horses by ordering from j. F. Gibson
of this city four high-ciass high steppers
to draw the state coach of the president
at Havana. For many years Mr.. Gibson
has been selling carriage horses to the
wealthy Cuban planters, and 1t is not un-
common for him to send horses to the
best families of Cuba. The other day.
however. he was pleased to receive an or
der from the Cuban government telling
him that four of the best coach horses
available were wanted for the president.
TO fiji 1t the dealer selected four bays, the
pick of more than $50 head In his stables,
and shipped them to Havana this week.
Every horse In the quartet was sixteen
hands high and of the typical heavy har-
ness stamp, combining quality. conforma-
ton. speed and action in degree found
only among the trotting-bred horses OF the
United States and Canada.

"An illustration will show this better
than any other way.

know what kind Of crowd packed the
Polo grounds. Christy Mathewson asked

"McGraw looked at Matty. He knew
that Matty had nothing. He knew better
than his pitcher how good he was.
Go in and work. said McGraw
Matty worked He was pounded all over
the field. McGraw kept him in. The crowd
yelled to take him out. 1t was a new ex-
perience for Matty. He looked appealngly
at his manager. Still McGraw kept him in.
"Matty had to stick and take what was
coming to him. McGraw paid no attention
to the screaming Of the fans
But he took him out before the game
ended He waved him away in the middle
of an inning. Matty did not come back to
the bench He walked to the club house.
1t was pitiful. and every one of us felt
sorry for him.

His men have perfect confidence in his
judgment. They know that he has every
trick Of the game wrapped up and ready
for delivery. They know what kind Of a
ball player he Is himself. and If they can
be like him they consider their ambition
satisfied. 1t may seem trife but man
ager in uniform on the field has one in
store clothes faded to fragile.
1.-The fine art of McGraw's hand is seen
to particular advantage in his guiding of
pitchers-and pitchers are most important
factor in ball game.

Cycle Road Racing

Special Cabegram to The Star.
SYDNEY. October 14.-During the winter
read racing is the chief attraction in Au-
stralian cycling circles. These contests in
Australia attract big fields and at all of
the various townships along the route and
a the finish big crowds of interested spec
tators gather. The first of this years fix
lures was held from bathurst to Sydney
distance of 127 miles. The course was a
very severe one, the men having to cross
the Blue mountains. There were in conse-
quence many severe hills to negotiate. One
rider said, I'VE went up hills like that
with a wave of the hand indicating a grade
nearly equal to the wall of house, ''just
as If we were walking, and came down wit tn
rush that took your breath away" De-
spite these things no fewer than forty out
OF S1Xty-one starters completed the long
journey. The winner was j. McManon a
young New South Walesman, who had
forty-five minutes start, and whose actual
riding time was hours 3S minutes and 80
seconds. 1t was a wonderful performance
but the fastest time and wonderful ride
was that of G. H. Horder, a pathrider of
some note. He was on scratch. and his
time was hours % minutes, an average Of
seventeen and one-quarter miles an hour.
There was another lucky performance
worthy of mention. A New Zealander met
with q nasty accident some twenty miles
after the start. He fell on a stump and
cut his head, yet he continued on as though
nothing had happened, the blood pouring
out all the while. He was advised to retire
but he kept to his task for another fifty
miles, then had to give in. Having had his
head bandaged he caught the train. and on
arriving at the finishing point he was in
duced to visit surgeon. Four stitches
were inserted in the wound. The name Of
the young New Zealander was Arnst. and
ne did not like to retire. but from all ac-
counts he had narrow escape from ia
tai injury.

rranspacihc Rafting.

Mariners and shipowners engage,
in the transpacifc trade are not like
ly to look with favor on the proposi
tion of the Robertson Raft Company
TO tow logs from Northern Pacific ports
to Shanghai, because It adds new
peril to navigation which greatly in
creases the risk to their lives and prop.
erty. Log rafting was introduced on
this coast many years ago. Two OF
more of the RATS first launched at the
northern ports parted while being
towed TO San Francisco, and the ocean
along the paths Of commerce for
months afterward was strewn with
stray logs. No one can ever tell how
many of the mysterious disappearances
Of deep.sea ships which have occurred
since these log RATS broke up were
attributable to collision with these un-
marked obstructions TO navigation.
The parting of one log raft in mid
Pacific ocean will certainly make the
navigation Of steam and sailing ships
to and from the Orient and the Pacific
islands much more perilous than II is
now. The unfortunate vessel which
should collide end on with any Of the
stray logs from such a disrupted raft
would probably never be heard Of af-
terward, as she would be apt TO foun-
der with all aboard.
The Robertson Raft Company pro.
poses, however, to embark in the risky
and dangerous enterprise, for the sake
Of the enormous profit to be realized
from lografting. The raft to be built
at northern port and towed to shaug-
hal is to be larger than any yet
floated, which means a correspondingly
increased menace TO navigation. II is
probable that the business Of log-raft.
ing cannot now be regulated or pro-
hibited, because Of the absence Of
any international navigation law az.
fecting the subiectj but the enormous
danger which the business threatens
to commerce ought to prompt the mari
time nations 10 reach an agreement
which win either prohibit this kind Of
traffic or regulate II so that II win
cease to be a peril to ocean navigation.
