As the above facts are untrue, and
in order to set the sporting public
right in connection with the matter

McGRAW THE BRAINS OF new YORK TEAM
GIANTS MANAGER PULLS
THE STRINGS AND
MEN WIN GAMES

John McGraw is the man who
deserves the lions share Of credit
for the place New York now
holds in the race for the Nation
al League pennant. The Mar
guards, and Mathewsons, and
Meyers may be doing the actual
work, but "Mugsy" is the man
who got them in the iirst place.
and then trimmed them down in
to smooth working baseball ma
chine.
McGraw had faith in the 1912
Giants from the time the bunch
came together for Spring train
ing. He seemed to have q sort
of sixth sense that told him he
had winning combination. and
his optimism has been conta-
gious, the players going into
every game with the winning
spirit, and a consequent shade OF
advantage over their less conf
dent opponents.

A shrewd golf enthusiast with a
mathematical turn of mind has at
tempted to estimate the annual cost Of
golf in the United States. His figures
that approximately $4O.00O.00O is ex-
pended each season.
It paws to be star athlete In more
than one branch of professional sport
as it quite fully exemplified in the
case OF Newsy" Lalonde, the lacrosse
and hockey star Playing lacrosse
last summer for Vancouver, "Newsy"
earned $3.50, and to this was added
$1,000 in the hockey season recently
closed at the coast, mere trifle Of
$5240 for the year.
There has never been any legisla-
ton against the black man In base

passed their days in the semi-pro, and

color Manager John McGraW Of the
Giants thinks Mendez the Cuban
pitcher. would be $4,000 player If
he were white man. Competent
authorities agree with you that Pitch
er Redding of the Lincoln Giants
would help. the Brooklyn club. I'm
doubleday Redding is one of the great
est pitchers in the national game to-
day His records of fifteen strike
outs in a six-inning game are without
