M'GRAW SAYS MATTY
WILL WIN PENNANT
Giants Manager Thinks Big
Six Will Set a New
Record.

NEW YORK. June 3o.-Manager Nc
Graw of the Giants says that his club
will walk away with the National
League pennant. and that he will leave
it TO the Cubs. Pirates and Phillies to
fight 1t out for second
The Phillies are pretty punk
bunch, according to McGraw. and
should finish no better than fourth.
Just where the Phillies are bad Nc
Graw will not say. but 1t is limited that
It is because Dooin's men have proved
the hardest proposition in the league
for the Giants.
There does not appear to he much
doubt that the Giants will be in
the fight until the finish if their pitch
ers show any kind of form. but it is
hard to see where McGraw's outfit can
flag.
McGraw says: I'VE have easily the
fastest team in the league on the
bases, and no club in the country can
hit better than we can. 1t 10 not that
which 1 am banking so much upon,
however I am basing my judgment
largely upon the fact that we have not
been forced to overwork Matty in or
der to keep in the fight. Raymond has
been a disappointment to me, and
am not counting upon him much. He
could have been a. great help, but he
is not to be trusted.
"Crandall. Marquard and wiltse have
shown flashes OF form, and this has
permitted me to save Matty. When
the race goes warm, along toward the
middle Of July, watch Matty go In
there and work his head on. He Is
going to make q wonderful record
this season, and your Mr.. Alexander
will have to go even better than he is
now to beat Big Six out for the
honors. And as far as the race is
concerned, the Phils won't be In It."

prosecutor, the court. the prison warden
and the board of pardon and parole may
know whether they are dealing with
first offender or an habftual delinquent

in your respective jurisdictions that the
hahitual criminal should be given any
consideration whatever along these lines.
Case of Habitual Criminal.
Those Of large experience with the
criminal classes agree In the opinion that
the habitual delinquent seldom reforms.
These criminals do not want to reform
and no man can be reformed against his
will.
"o,n,v permanent elimination. therefore,
Of these individuals from that society
with which they are constantly at war

nent elimination OF these criminals from

ton and prevention Of crime to bring 10

rendered splendid service but 1t con-

aholishing the system. substituting in Its
Mace that other more modern system
known as the finger print, which COM

For Central Bureau.
I'm all the larger jurisdictions police
stations are maintained for the tenn
porary detention of prisoners ut places
remote from the bureau of identification,
and it will be found most convenient to
have finger prints made at such stations
and forwarded to the bureau for the pur-
pose of learning the previous criminal his
tory Of individuals under arrest The
experts in the bureau will quickly de-
termine whether the prisoner detained at
q distant station has previous criminal
record and whether he has previously
been photographed. thereby obviating in
many cases, the necessity of transport
ing prisoners through the streets in
patrol wagons. This plan has been in
operation in the District Of Columbia for
several years with excellent results: BY
the Bertillon system II is impossible to
learn the previous record of a prisoner
until he has been transported to the bu-
reau of identification and meWVre.. Sy

at the local American League Park
this season when an umpire performed
all the functions OF his office on an
infield fly occurred Sunday, when Billy
Evans shouted loudly that the batter
was out as soon as the ball was hit.
Where the Umpire Falls Down.
The infield hy rule provides that the
batsman is out without exertion on the
part Of the fielders If he knocks an in
field fly with men on first and second
bases or on first. second and third bases
and with one or no men out. The rule
defines this particular kind Of fly as
"one that can be handled by an infleld-
err" and further provides that the UNI
pire shall announce Immediately when
the ball is hit that II is an inneld fly II
the situation Is such as VIII make this
rule operative.
Right there is where the umpire falls
down. He neglects to shout il the bats
man is out. some infielder fails to han
die the ball and the base runners ara
UP a tree How's the runner TO know IL
he must run or stand still when half
the umpires in the business decide the
nfield fly thing one way and the other
half sets up a different Interpretation?
The protest filed by Pitsburg against
Boston raises a nice point. The stage
was set for the infield fly rule when
the batter hunted a fly. Possibly the
fly did not attain tne heisHt ana ols-
nifty of an enfield fly as defined III the
book, and maybe 1t did. The umpire,
of course, neglected to inform the play
ers Immediately as to the nature of the
bunt. II fell among several fielders, and
the bases were filed.
How to Cut Down Kicks.
The fault is wholly with the arbi-
traitors. Men who collect from So 900 to
$4,000 per six months work for labor
ing two hours a day ought to have
enough leisure to acquire a working
knowledge OF the base ball code. Yet
