NOTHING TAKEN FOR GRANTED
New York Giants Cannot Be Depend. cd Upon to Win Pennant-case
 of Detroit Tigers.

Nothing in baseball can bo taken for granted. Not even the Giants though they appear just at present to be the real class of their league, su- perior in ability and condition, forti fled as no other team has ever been before with substitutes as good as their regulars, a perfect baseball ma chine, every department intact and with a manager second to none in knowledge of the up-to-date game and ability to handle men-can be put down with absolute surety to be the ones to go under the wire in the lead.
 The case of the Detroit Tigers last season affords convincing illustra- tion of how suddenly the bottom drops out of fabric woven with baseball threads It may look strong and sup pie enough to stand any kind of strain, but the old baseball thread was never known to be reliable enough to bank on to the very limit of endur- ance, and the Tiger fabric was inter- woven with the same old threads of uncertainty, and collapsed.
 The Giants fabric seems right now to be much stronger than was the Tigers of last season. but
 All of the present Giant players. with the exception of Mathewson. Wiltse and Ames, got the first whiff in their nostrils of the delightful aroma that is thrown off by the Tong green" that goes to the men who participate in worlds series games. That fra grance still fingers with them and has made them rabidly hungry for another smell of the financial joy fluid that will go with the worlds series this fall
 They are more than anxious to be- come saturated again with the addi- tional fragrance of glory and honors and money that is only to be obtained by the plucking of the rose that is emblematic of the baseball champion ship of the universe. This is their one ambition now and they are after it hotfoot and with confidence.
 Then, again, a trip around the world after the season is finished is another probable reward that will ac- crue to the winners of the National league pennant, and that is another big inducement for them to put forth their best efforts from start to finish of this race.
 Arrangements for such a trip have gone so far and have been so well perfected that it is virtually assured. Even the money for it has been guar anteed- furnished, in fact.

Jack Graney Has Every Other Mem Der of Cleveland Team Beaten
 as to Experience.

Jack Graney has every other mem- Der of the Cleveland outfit outclassed and tied to the starting mark when it comes to variety of experiences. A year ago Jim Mcclure led the field. Though younger in years, Jack has already performed in seven different leagues with the following clubs; Erie, Pa: Fulton, N. r.; Rochester; Wilkes barre Cleveland, Columbus, Portland, Cleveland.
 Beat it if you can. And he's still so yonug and frisly. Even Nap Lajoie. the vet in years of the squad, doesn't compare with Jack" Larry has con- fined his efforts to three clubs, Fall River, Athletics and Cleveland. Tuck Turner and Joe Birmingham, the other vets, also stand near the foot of the list. "Tucks" record shows trial with Pittsburg, subsequent develop ment at Columbus, and finally a trip to Cleveland. Joe Birmingham dis played his talent with the A., J. and c. team of the N Y State league, before Cleveland grabbed him.

the second-sacker can arrange a trade for himself that will strengthen the Cardinals 1t will go through. Last winter it was thought that Huggins would become leader of the Cincln- nati Reds, and when Miller was in the running for the job he was given per mission from Bresnahan to open ne- gotiations for a trade.
 When Hank O'Day was appointed Huggins lost out. But he continues to seek position as general director and if any bids are received he will be allowed to depart. of course, pro- viding Bresnahan is pleased with what he is offered.
 If Higgins leaves the Cardinals after this year when Lee Magee will become the second baseman. Magee is outclassed by Huggins in expert ence, but Lee is speedier than his op- ponent, is a better hitter and is go- ing to become one of the best base runners in the circuit.
 Then Bresnahan thinks that he has the coming greatest second baseman in the game in Magee. He Is an ar dent admirer of the Cincinnati lad for the simple reason that he has copied Rogers style perfectly-being full of vim and dash and wide awake all the time.
 For the present, and probably for the rest of 1912 Magee will do left field duty.
 Huggins probably would have gone to Boston when the Cardinals were in the east, but for John M Ward and his co-worker, James Caffney, being attacked with cold feet The bosses of the Braves and Johnny Kling. are not working in harmony, and 1t has been hinted often that King Is not a shrewd or smart leader.
 The opening for Huggins is Boston, unless Garry Hermann ousts Hank O'Day in Cincinnati. Both teams have material that could strengthen the Cardinals, and when Roger Bresna- han gets ready to talk with his foes for Huggins, he is not going to put 8 10-20-30 tag on pee-wee Miller.

Marty O'Toole." says Hank O'Day, manager of the Cincinnati Reds, "has spitball that breaks something like Walsh's. but he has nowhere near as much speed nor anything like as good control, and yet he Is getting more strikeouts-getting them against good batters. too. Rather hard to figure, but he's getting away with it in clever style"
 Notwithstanding the Reds can't un. derstand how O'Toole gets away with it, 1t Is probable that he will be a suc- cessful pitcher unless something hap pens to his arm.
 There is no greater pitcher than Ed Walsh of the Chicago Americans, and in intelligence Big Ed also ranks high.

MODERN BASEBALL IS FASTER
Nothing to Be Accomplished by Wordy Controversy on Merits of
 Old and Young Players.

There may be some good accom- plished from a wordy controversy whether or not baseball is faster than 1t used to be. but just exactly how this is to effect the cost of living Is not so perfectly apparent, says the Milwaukee Sentinel.
 The old fellows who have had their day and who are continually looking backward, seem to think that they played faster and better in the oldeu time, but the young men who ararx1ow engaged in making baseball History are dead sure the old timers were truck horses in comparison with them.
 There is no reason why the old timers could not hit bali just exact ly as hard; run Just as fast and field just as accurately. It may be that owing to the development of pitching they would not have an opportunity to hit and run as often, and inside baseball may be developed more than it was in the olden times, but grant all this and what's the answer?
 It pleases us who remember some of the old-timers to think they were just as good as the best. but it may be that We are mistaken. At that, 1t is pretty hard to see what is going to be accomplished by the disillusion- ment. If the men of today are much better than they used to be, let 1t go at that. Nothing can be accomplish ed by arguing this question any moro than can be by indulging in a con troversy over politics or religion.

Frank Smith and Harry Gaspar pitched a game against each other at Montreal the other day. There was nothing the matter with the pitching both were in good form and showed all sorts of class-but the game was prolonged way into dark ness because Harry and Frank want cd to exchange so many "reminiscences of Cincinnati days.
