GOOD Cheer this Christmas. Every dark
~ cloud is gone, and the sulight streams
fair and free. There are no phantoms OF
fear lowering around the gates of the New
Year, but the smiling Heralds of Prosperity

onward with stout hearts and sure steps.
And what lot lot of giving there'll be
this Christmas Last year most of us had
to starve or stifle the Gift Spirit. Now we
can make full amends for our UNVEILED lapses.
Those whom we had to ''forget' we'll re-
member aye. and those to whom we could

ment of expectation.
Yes, we can give with free hand, be-
cause Dlstrust will not pluck at our sleeve

McGraw is not imbued with

that if they play a certain kind of

GlDe McGraqv the Credit; He Really Has 1t Coming

Should the Giants win the pen
nant, and the indications now are
that they will. barring accident.
then Frank Chance will lose his
crown labeled Peerless Leader"
says a writer in the New York
Mail.
John ]. McGraw has worked
wonders with the material he had
this year. His handling of the
pitching staff during this critical
stage of the battle has been fault
less. So closely is he in touch
with the play of his men that he
knows just when to work his
pitchers and when to make
changes in the other departments.
When he turned Shannon loose
his outheld looked very weak in
the left garden. He picked up
Harry Mccormick because the
latter could hit hard. knowing,
however, that Mccormick was
bad on long hits. But ne bided
his time and when ST. Louis in
timated that Barry was 10 be let
go McGraw was the first manager
on the job. Since then he has
engineered the left field position
wonderfully we'll, alternating
with Barry and Mccormick, and
always getting the best possible
results out of the shifting of these
two players.
We all remember how, early in
the fight, he benched Doyle and
played Herzog and Strang. But
McGraw had an object in doing
this and again he won out. He
wanted to convince Doyle that ne
must do his best or get out. He
knew that Doyle, when he tried
hard, was good enough for the
best team in the country. And
Doyle got On his toes and played
ball and has been one of the big
gest factors in the fight.
If we remember rightly people
condemned Bridwell because of
his style of batting. He holds
the stick too close to his body and
does not straighten out his arms
when batting was the cry of the
wise people. But nobody detect
ed this fault more quickly than
McGraw. After have had him
a few months / will have weaned
him away from that habit" said
McGraw. And again McGraw
made good. Just now Bridwell
is hitting as strongly as any
member of the team.
