REASONS FOR THE SUCCESS OF
MGRAW AS BASEBALL MANAGER

Christy Mathewson tells why Man.
ager McGraw has been so successful
as the leader Of the Giants. He says:
e! have often been asked to what I
would attribute John McGraw's sue
cess as a baseball manager In the
first place, his method of handling
players conduces to getting the best
possible results out of them. All
players cannot be treated in the same
manner. One man has to be patted
upon the back, while another needs
sharp reprimand to make him put
forth his best efforts or remedy his
faults
"A second great factor in McGraw's
success is his knowledge of inside
baseball. He is constantly planning
to pull off the unexpected, and in the
execution of his plans he always
takes into consideration the abilities
of the players called upon to carry
out his scheme Of play. The squeeze
play so popular with some managers.
does not appeal to McGraw, but every
other trick or device by which a run
can be put across the plate has con-
stantly been successfully used in his
campaigns on the diamond. He OBJ
jects to the squeeze play because he
believes that a brainy pitcher ought
to break up the play and prevent its
success by pitching the ball so wide
that the batsmen is not able to bunt it.
"The delayed steal, the bunt-and-
run from second, the hit-and-run from
first. or the clean steal OF third are
all plays that can be worked with a
fair degree of success by certain men
against particular teams. These and
many other plays that contribute to
teamwork or inside baseball are con-
stantly practiced by McGraw's team,
ready to be sprung whenever the
watchful eye of the alert manager
sees an opening.
of course, the plays are not al
ways successful for quick-thinking
opponents may anticipate them and
break them up; but if a play fails be-
cause of some act of omission or COM
mission on the part of his players,
McGraw is quick to detect the fault
and devise a remedy. Some man
ayers have considered football and
lacrosse as suitable for spring prac-
tice for baseball players, but the
Giants are drilled and drilled in base
ball, not only physically, but mental
ly. Tactics play large part in Nc
not learn the fine points of the game
under him will never excel in our
national pastime."

Making Record as a Traveller,

Ward Miller, late of Wausau, Wis,
Is making a record for himself as
traveller. He went south with the
Cubs in the spring. and when waivers
were asked on his services Pittsburg
stepped in and took him. He posed
as a sub-swatter with the Pirates for
a short time and Barney Dreyfuss,
finding he could make deal with
Clark Griffith, turned Miller over to
the Reds for Blaine Durbin, whom
Dreyfuss has been after for many
moons. Durbin, who is a southpaw,
never had fair trial while he
was in Chicago. Chance having too
many good pitchers. Dreyfus thinks
Durbin is a wonder and will help the
Pirates to many victories this sea

Lord Balfour gave It as his opin-

Germany, and said that neither coun.

greatest danger in the whole affair
he said. Is the agitation which has
been aroused and which can easily

Observation-Disclosures PLANT

THALER-HORTON PLANT
When the plant of the Mergen-
thaler-Horton Basket company was
sold last year, the purchasers extend
ed an option TO eastern parties in
two forms, for control of the prop
erty. First a price was made on the
property as It stands; second, price
was made on the basket machines
alone, which was relatively higher
than for the property as a whole. The
eastern parties have given notice
that they will be in Paducah this
week for the purpose of paying for
and taking over the basket machines.
The fact that the basket machines
are to be paid for, is an indication
that they are to be used somewhere.
1t will be remembered that about a
year ago some slight effort was made
to raise a subscription fund to be
used in paying to the promoters of
the basket factory. a certain percent
age of their first years payroll.
should they succeed in putting the
plant in operation. .,
The Sun knows no more than
others, what the intentions OF the
eastern parties are; If, however. a
percentage Of the first years payroll
of factory, employing a couple of
hundred people, will insure its opera
ton in Paducah. IT would appear that
it is worth some effort on the part
Of our people to get the matter in
definite shape. e
