made at the time the National and
American Leagues were at logger
heads-in fact, at each others throats
but while McGraw Is now doubtless
satisfied that he was mistaken, the
management of the Athletics still hold
to the white elephant" as their en-
blem, and hardly think they would
part with it and all 1t represents, even
If they had to give up the worlds
pennant In exchange.
VeritabIe Love Feast.
The banquet turned out to be a YER
table love feast, and President Hemp
stead and Secretary Foster, who rep
resented the New York club, were
made to feel perfectly at home, al
though. S was to be expected, they
were the recipients of many little
digs" but still gentlemanly ones. And
1t can be said that they both took
their medicine like the good loosers
they are 1t was the Athletics and
philadelphia inning, and we'll did they
have the right to celebrate.
Many OF the Athletics made
speeches, and Secretary Foster says
the one made by Catcher Ira Thomas
was the best among the players. Ira
has now figured in four Worlds Sc
ries. and Is considered one Of the
luckiest players in the business on
that account When Ira was a catch
eT Of the Yankees his future did not
horoscope" that much. But he was
handed over to the Detroit Tigers at
the psychological time. and he was
fortunate enough to join the Athlet-
les when they were on the upgrade,
and, allow me to whisper, our old
Yankee Ira has earned all the reward
that he has received, for he did his
full share, and possibly shade more,
to pull the Athletics up; to their past
and present prominence.
Fooled Gotham Fans.
AS a Yankee Ira was very weak on
foul fiys and did not appeal to New
York fans as being blessed with
whole lot Of mental activity or physi-
cal, but he fooled US all and developed
into one of the headiest backstops in
the country.
He fully deserves all the good
things that have come to him. as do
all the rest of the fellow worlds
champions.

the reported holding up of Kid Ell

Pelicans is not generally known at
this time.
D that as it may, the opportunity

others with the Maps is not a conces-

But football being football makes

nothing left to do but slip the hon

teams; Princeton has been beaten,
but Harvard, the other member of
the Big Three" has damned the
daylights out of each and every team
that it has tackled so far this sea-

that Harvard, on account of injuries,
has been unable at any time this

lightweight championship title of the
world, evaporated one fine eve in
Vancouver few days before he was
to fight Freddie Welsh, the English
champion, for the worlds crown.
"Ritchie is nowhere, and so are we,
and to make matters interesting there
is an offer of $25, 900 for the boys to
battle twenty rounds in England.
HkTOW Richie says he will accept

think he can be dragged into the same
ring with Welsh, but If he Is on the
level the money will be posted with
any bank in this city or with any rep

the word All Ritchie has to do Is to
cable to England that the offer is sat

You know Welsh has a decision over

You know ! have christened
Richie the NO decision champion for
the plain reason that he delights in
bouts where there is no chance OF
losing his title unless knocked out,
which in ten rounds Is hardly prob

confident that he can whin any other

IA TANAGER M'GRAW has surely
MI one good friend in Philadel-,
phia, and Connie Mack is the
man.
At the. banquet given the other
night in Philadelphia to the Athletics
and to do considerable celebrating on
account OF the victory Of the Mack
men over the Giants, Connie in his
speech took occasion to laud John j.
McGraw as most worthy rival and
to otherwise praise him for having
the same ideals of sportsmanship that
have made Mack himself famous, and
living up to them.
Connie Mack Is one of those rare
kind Of fellows who never gloat over
his defeated opponents. He sympa-
thizes with them and is magnanimous
enough to accord his rivals all the
credit that is their due.
Not that the Giants had a whole lot
of credit coming to them, but what
there was Connie found out and spoke
about,
Surprise to Quakers.
The Athletics managers praise of
McGraw must have come as some
what of a shock to some Of the 500
guests at the banquet for the Giants
leader is looked upon by the majority
of Quaker City fans as being a cross
between an intentional disturber of
Quakertown peace and a New York
gunman.
There has been heretofore nothing
said in Philadelphia about McGraw
that has not been to his dscredit. His
well-known aggressiveness and ex-
treme desire to win has been unjustly
described as rowdyism. pluguglyism,
muggyism and in fact about every
thing that Philadelphia fans can con-
coct In their brains while in the throeS
of close race during baseball sea-
son.
1t was only last summer that Nc
Graw and his players were followed
by a bowling mob of frantic Philadel-
phians from the ball park to the de-
pot, and pelted with stones.
1t Is therefore quite a pleasure as
well as a new and unexpected de-
parture that someone there has been
man enough to come out publicly and
tell about hfcGraW good traits.
Thanks Due to Mack.
Connie Mack is therefore, entitled
to our congratulations and also our
thanks. which we hasten to extend,
and with the hope that Comics stand
will open a new era Of amicabe rela-
tons between the Giants and Phillies
And ! can express nothing more re-
ciprocally than to express the wish
that the Phillies will again finish Sec
ond to the Giants in next seasons
race for the National League pen
nant.
The Athletics got their best adver-
tisement when McGraw mentioned
that the present worlds champions
would be a white elephant on their
owners hands. This remark was

that 1913 was a slack year in base
