NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Manager Nc
Graw, of the New York Giants. is
grooming his men for the world series
with the Boston Americans. With the
pennant race won, the recruits will be
given the brunt of the work for the
remainder of the seasons play. while
the veterans rest in relays playing just
enough 20 keep in good condition.
1t is seldom that McGraw discusses
the initial work Of his young players
but he said today the debut of Al Dem
aree the Southern league star, in the
box against Boston Thursday was the
finest work he had seen done by a
newcomer in twenty years OF baseball.
1t was Demarees first appearance for
the Giants and. although the game was
crucial to the extent that winning il
meant clinching the pennant. the
youngster had almost perfect contro!
He struck out nine men. allowed seven
hits, two OF which were scratches. gave

Until you can satisfy yourself Of

a fact.
Even Money Suitable Wager.
Even money should prevail in
this series between the Giants and
the Red Sox. The fellows who like
the Boston crew against the New
Workers Immediately point to the
fact that the Giants had
lot of difficulty in winning the
pennant Perish the thought. They
had nothing OF the sort They
won the pennant last year by
seven and one-half games Today
they have a longer lead. They are
having no greater trouble this year
than they had last. The fact of the
matter is that you simply have for
gotten that the Cubs were in the
race until almost the last moment
last year
Then the fellow who likes the
Red Sox says that the fact that
Stahls men defeated the Athletics
when the Giants could not, proves
that the Red Sox form a better
team than the one which licked the
Giants in the worlds championship
games of 1911.
1t proves nothing of the sort
The way you have to figure that
proposition is in this way: Would
the Red SoX have beaten the Ath-
letics if Bender had been as good
this year as he was last? Also.

You read the stories that come

And don't forget to bring them all,
For speed alone gains you no throne
The Giants love that old fast ball.
Whatever goes into the air
Must fail again-remember that:
And all the speed that is your creed
May meet a heavy Giant bat

Don't think we sheer at your success
OF men like you there is dearth.

THERE is A story that Col. Stevens, State
Road Commissioner, is not satisfied with
the manner in which the state is handing
out money for road building and that he
has said If he does not get more cash he
will go on with the work at his own ex-
pense. If Col. Stevens has made such an
assertion he certainly was rather impul-
sive and not very discreet, for there are
many who will say let him go ahead.
There is no necessity for any individual
or official to spend his own private income
on public works. If the state will not
furnish him sufficient funds he should go
as far as possible with the resources at
hand and then stop. Perhaps Col. Stevens
has attempted to do too much on what
may have been very liberal allowance.
The state fathers will certainly see the
Importance of keeping up the good work
