his success. He is master mind
on the ball field. and he has nodded
a number of great teams together.
He is quiet, and he is popular, and
everybody seems to wish him luck
in his victory. Surely he is q great
leader. but he leads unlike most base
ball generals-unlike NcGra,w, for
instance. Mack's knack seems to be
in getting a wonderful team together.
McGraw's success has been in drill
ing and driving a not-much team
into a winning stride.

As the certainty of the champion
ships became evident, gossip as to the
likely winner is finding its way into
the news of the day. The very best
judges seem to think that it is
decidedly close At. yet you will meet
fans in the street who will tell you
that the Giants are a cinch or that
the Athletics will have walkover.
That is foolish talk, of course.
The best argument on the situation
has been presented by Hugh Jen-
great pitching staff against the Ath-
letics' great batting aggregation. The
question is. can the Giants pitchers
stop the Athletics batters, or can
the Athletics batters annihilate the
Giants pitchers? That's the ques-
ton and answer. too. It is a very
close fit indeed.

Betting on the big series is on.
Over in New York the gamblers have
gotten right down 10 business. You
can place your money any old way.
You can get odds and you can give
odds on different phases of the
series. but the betting. team against
team. is even money and take your
choice. Later on. though. it Is likely
that the Giants will be made the IA
vorites. as the New York crowd al
ways has the most money.

Out In Cincinnati some fun Is be-
ing poked at President Solomon, of
the Newark Club. The Enquirer of
that city says:
President McCaffery, of the To-
ronto Club, put in draft for Solo
mon of the Newark Club. but it was
disallowed by the commission, as Sol
ONION belongs to the Brooklyn Club,
and is not subject to draft"
That sounds just like McCaffery.
He is a wit, but sometime Solomon
will catch him alone down in New
York and get more than square with
him.
Here's a fan who would name a all
star to meet the Newarks:
J. =. N:
How about this lineup for an all
star team to meet the champion
Tigers? Levine, of the Worthing-
tons, catcher; Hughes, of the Iron
sides, and Durkee, of the Meadow
brooks, pitchers; Shafrey, of the
first base; Andrews, of
the Forest Hill A. c., second
case; Lennon, of the Worth
ngtons and Caldwells, shortstop;
Brierley, of the Maple A. c., third
base; Lyons, of the Parl1views, centre
ield; Brown, of the Nutley A. c.,
light field, and Hogg. of the Irving
on Paks, left field. This lineup,
believe, would make good showing
md would also give the various ad-
nirers of the players mentioned a
,hance to sec them all in action.

oall fan display an American slogan |
IN Saturdays big celebration.

Much fuss is being made over the
act that young Ouimet, the sensa-
,ional golfer. is not to turn profess
'ional. 1t is something Ike parad-
ng the fact that one is honest |
There is no shame in being pro-
'essional. and there is no great credit |
o come from being honest. Ouimet |
s a kid yet. and he don't know just |
what he Will do. He may do any |
hing. He is In fair circumstances |
now. and as pro golfer he might |
not be as we'll off. From observa-
ton. none of the pros we have met |
are running in wealth. And, besides, |
about the only difference between
an amateur golfer and a pro golfer,
outside of referring to the one as
Mr." and to the other as plain !
John. is that the amateur Is not as
good a player and works at his avo-
cation for living, while the pro
simply follows a trade at the links.
1t would get Ouimet nothing to turn
pro. He is much better off every
way as an amateur. even if he keeps
all his cups.

Out of the fight at the st. Nicholas
Club, in New York, tonight may come
an opponent for the winner of the
Gunboat Smith-Sam Langford bout to
be held In Madison Square Garden
Friday. This statement is made with
the soft pedal on, for AL Palzer has
made a mess of his career, and
Charley Miller is not known at all in
the East. Still these heavyweights
are such an inconsistent lot that a
bad fight doesn't mean much now
