Arlie Latham. the reputed funny man OF
the Giants who because 81 his quips ano
tests on the coaching line has been more or
less of an attraction when tho team wdS or
the road. is likely to be missed-missed In
the sense OF being absent-Nhen the season
onens next wear. / am told on good au-
thority that John j. McGraw has decided
that. inasmuch as Latham must now be
carried as one of his playing force
room will he made for man who can ne
rsed as a utility fielder or pinch hitter AS
well as coach. Latham is good fellow
and at one time was a player above the
average. but, judging by remarks heard al
the Polo Grounds many times this season.
Latham will not be missed-missed in the
sense of being mourned.
John !. McGraw PLAYED his ace on Friday
when he sent Matty 20 the box, instead OF
holding him i'm reserve for the eighth game
if 1t had been necessary. II was oolo
move. a confident move. but then the ace
usually wins and in this case the Yankees
did not hold the joker. or even one OF the
bow ers.
A word must be said for the umpires in
the local series KLEIN and Evans. Their
rulings were uniformly fair and consistently
good. and they handled the games in a
way TO command the respect and admira-
ton Of all sportsmen.
What viii become of the Chicago Cubs
next year, Johnny Evers is now free
agent under his contract. and in any case
may never play again on account OF his
injury Orval Overall, one of the best pitch
ers of the day, says he has pitched his last
ma jor league game. Frank Chances base
ball machine will need some new parts.
Miss Dorothy Campbell. twice winner OF
the national golf championship, TO say
nothing of titles in England and Canada,
is not invincible. after all. Miss Harriet
Curtis. the champion OF this country In
1906 took her measure at Brookltne last
week. thus saving some prestige for Yankee
golf and Yankee golfers among the women
Frank Chance said last week. commenting
on the first defeat Of the Cubs by the Phlla-
delphNL Athletics:
We have struck better twlrling all year in
certain National League boXmen and we
came out ahead. MathewsOn is one can
name He is so much better than the Ind
fan Bender that there is no comparison.
and I want 10 say that Drucke right now
is better man than Bender
Pretty nice boost for DruCke. Of the
Giants. and l want TO add my word that
Dr1icke. with more experience. will write
his name in bold letters in the baseball
hall Of fame. HERBERT.
