ONE RUN DEFEATS DECIDE PENNANT RAGE
 SAYS JOHN M'GRAW

Boston, May 8-TaIking with John McGraw, one evening last week. the Giants manager remarked: We are going to be out after that one run this season, as never before. The games in which you are beaten by a run are the ones that cost the pen nant- Let any club win every game that it lost during a championship sea son by a single run, and that club would be a sure pennant winner. The to 0, the to 2, and the other games like them are what put a, club out of the pennant. Lacking the one run was what cost us the worlds series, right here in your town, last fall. If, the Giant can win, this season, all those games that otherwise the other fellows
 would get by a run, there will be not the slightest question as to where the pennant will go.l It's a cinch that a third of the games in either the Ma tional or the American league are won-and lost-by> a run. Just watch it and see if I am not right"
 ''Far be it from be to question a man like McGraw in anything per taining to baseball said a well-known fan, ''but down deep I felt that the Giants manager was just a bit ex- travagant in his assertion about one third of the games going that way So for the fun of the thing, I have carefully followed, the scores in both major leagues from, the opening day down to May 1. And I beg to report that McGraw was dead right so far, at least, as the first three weeks of the championship season is concerned During that time no less than twenty two of the fifty-three games in the American league, a percentage of bet ter than 400 were won and lost by 8 single run. In the National league the figures were twenty out of fifty-eight giving there a percentage of better than .333.
 'sDelving deeper into this one-run- dope a lot of other interesting things are uncovered, all of which bear out McGraw's assertions as to the value of the one. run. In the National league, for example there is the Cincinnatti club trailing at the bottom of the race. At the other end are the Cubs. The records show that the Cincinnati team has lost eight games by a single run Give the Reds those eight games and their record as of May 1 would have read 10 won, four lost. The Cubs, on the other hand have won four by a run Had those four gone the other shown would be an even break of eight won and eight lost.
 The case of the Brooklyn club is quite gas striking. The Dodgers have lost five one-run games thus far. Sup- posing those five games. instead of be- ing defeats, had gone down as victor ies, then the Brooklyn standing on May 1 would have been Il games won and only one lost as six won and six lost And the Phillies, for the same period, were they to Jose the four games they won by a run could show one victory out of nine."

BOXERS MAY GO
 ON PERCENTAGE
Plan in New York to Do Away With
 Big Guarantees.

The old question as to the advisa- bility of granting guarantees to star boxers is now agitating New York promoters once more It is suggest ed that the managers of the leading clubs came to a mutual agreement to do away with offering stated sums and make each knight of the init work on a percentage basis. There are diff culties in the way and probably Taoth- ing will come of this movement, but it given a trial.
 If this scheme were put into opera ton 1t could not fail to be of immense benefit to boxing It's effect would be to place a premium on high class work If each boxer got just what his popularity called for. as registered by the gate receipts, it would tend to do away with stalling, clinching and oth- CT objectionable practices.
 At present the only criterion of a boxers ability is the bare record of his wins. The method he used in scoring his voctories is not given con- sideration- Yet it is not fnfreouently the case that the losers work is more pleasing to the spectators than the victor's- Consequently he would be a better drawing card in the futur e than the winner and should reap the benefit of his popularity.
 The one difficulty in the way of a general agreement to adopt the per centage plan is that the largest arena would corral all the best events. But even under present conditions this is more or less the caSe-

GUNBOAT SMITH
 25 YEARS OLD
 AND STILL GROWING

Edward Smith. known to sporting page fame as 'fGunboat,' has been an inhabitant of this oblate pill called earth for exactly quarter of a cen tury. '-Gunboat'' is usually called a Californian, but he isn't a native son, having been born in Philadelphia twenty-five years ago to-day. An other, nisconception regarding MT. Smith is that he acquired his fighting monaker by reason of naval service. whereas the monaker of "Gunboat" was wished on him because he wears No. II gunboats on his tootsies. The inventor of the "occipital punch" is Irish-American, flies the Stars and Stripes except St. Patrick'S Day, has a length over all of six feet, and a displacement of 1855 pounds when stripped for action.
 Of late he has been attempting to put damper on the celebration of the centenary of peace between Uncle Sam and John Bull by mussing up Johns subjects. He put the kibosh sign on Bom bardier Wells of England in two rounds, and forced Fred Mo Kay, the pride of Winnipeg, to hoist the flag of surrender after an equally brief engagement Then the new Un- ion of South Africa came to the res cue of the British Empires reputa- tion, and. Rodel, the Boer Warrior, as- simulated all of the Gunboat's punch
 
 end of ten rounds was eager for more.
 Gunboat has come to the front in the heavyweight ranks with a rush. His bouts in California didn't make a good impression on the Golden Gate fans, but when he landed in New York Smith hit his stride, and speed fly became a great drawing card. He is a clever boxer, and in hitting ability has been compared to Bob Fitzsin- mons. The Irish in Smith fairly boi1s when he gets into 8 ring, and he is a mighty hard man to discourage.
 Smith began fighting professionally five years ago, and won most of his early battles by the knockout route. His first defeat was administered by Jim Barry in 1910. Smiths occipi- tai blow is usually delivered with the right, which flashes over his oppon- ent's shoulder and connects with the occipita1 bone, at the base of the skull It was this punch that got Bombar- dfer's number, but it was 8, right to the jaw, a plain punch without any frilis, that stretched Mckay out for the count.

STOVALL HAS MADE
 GOOD WITH ST. LOUIS

Stoya11 of St. Louis has been a re- markably successful manager He took hold of the Cleveland team in 1911 when Jim Mcclure quit, and produced wonderful results. Because Harry Davis had been engaged as manager for 1912. before StovaIl made good, Stovall was traded to St. Louis. where he succeeded the veteran Bob by Wallace as manager and again as- tonished the baseball world by what he was able to do with. an outfit con sidered hopeless.
 He had started this year well and St. Louis is now in fifth place and go- ing strong. St. Louis is an immense ly important city to the American league. It is great town for win ner, and the American league there has had for two or three years to combat the popularity the National American League club attained under the management of Roger Bresnaha n.
 The entire American league was profoundly interested in seeing St. Louis have a first division contender, and Stovan was more than fulfilling expectations. Hence, the punishment visited upon him is the more coura- geous and impressive. Stovall has always had a violent temper, which made his career as a manager a sur prise.
 When Larry Lajoie was manager of the Maps and was running them in his free and easy fashion, Stovall, then playing first base. had violent dis pute with him in the corridors of the Bingham House in Philadelphia, and, according to the stories published at the time, tried to brain Lajoie with chair in the lobby. The matter was 1ushed up as soon as possible, and

of the New Haven was so suddenly withdrawn amid so much public won derment.
 The Boston and Main purcha se- President Mellen contends that he was obliged to purchase the Boston and Maine Railroad to save the New Ia- ven from competition that threatened its very existence. E. H. Harrirnar rf formed a plan to Invade New England and force New Haven to it's knees. His scheme was to obtain control of the Delaware and Hudson road and then buy Boston and Maine, thereby entering Boston, reaching the Atlantic sea board and connecting his coast to coast system. In self defense MeIlen was obliged to pay high price for a railroad that he knew was in sad phy- sical condition.
 The Rhode Island Trolley-The New Haven road has $20,Oo0,O00 tied up in Rhode Island trolley lines. Certain high financiers in Provi- dence, New York and Philadelphia have made rich profits of the in- vestnent. This is how they got it. A few years &go three street railway lines in Providence that were owned and three lines that were leased were combined into one company The gen tlemen in control were mostly the same ones who built up the Metro ,politan Street Railway system in New
 
 plans for erecting stock and bond pyramid.
 Among these owners were Messrs Widener, Do1an and associates, form ing the United Gas Improvement com pany of Philadelphia, fanailiarIy known as the 'sU. G. L.'' crowd; An thony N Brady of New York and Senator Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode Island, The stock of the company was quoted in the market at about s25 per share. One day there was hint that it would be very easy for these trolley lines to become feeders of a new line Of Sound steamers that could be started between Providence and New York.
 President Mellen and the New Ha- ven directors z took alarm at this trreatenedi invasion of the monopoly of water transportation on the sound. Orders went out to purchase the troll ley lines
 Immediately the gentlemen of high finance who owned the tro1Ieys boost ed the price. and the New Haven was forced to pay an average of $50 per share for the stock
