President Wilson let senators know
in positive terms yesterday that he is
opposed to the movement for an ao-
iournment of the session next Satur-
day. The whole county has become
acquainted with the charge that one
reason for this adjournment from the
congressional view point is the mil
cage that would follow The Presl-
,;ent and leaders in both houses are
not willing to create an opportunity
for such public scandal. Yesterday
the President told several of his vlsl-

Congress with adjourning for this
treason only. and urged them to dis

ARM0RER'S TOOLS.

Works. Art Museum.
Very few people are aware that In
the heart Of modern New York is q
complete armorer's shop, writes e. A.
Suverkrop in the American Machinist.
It is in the basement of the Metropolis
tan Museum Of Art and is equipped
with a complete outfit of, over 600 ar
morer's tools. Many of these are very
old, having descended from master to
man or from father to son through
many generations. Their workman
ship is excellent. Where steel faces
have been welded to iron bodies the
YIELDS are clean and perfect, and the
junction Of iron and steel is distin-
guishable only by the difference in lus-
ter of the two metals.
The tempering of the steel faces
seems to be good and uniform. as nei-
Their cracks nor dents are apparent A
curs0ry glance at these tools will at
once apprise US of the origin Of many

may be carried on. The armorer's

MeGraw's Scheme Is Go 40 Far 40 You
Can on Every Play.
Writing on taking a chance versus
playing it safe in baseball, Hugh s.
Fullerton in the American Magazine
says: !,
1T remained for the New York
Giants to develop the take a chance
style to its highest form since the days
of the old Baltimore team. Probably
no man understands or realizes the
weaknesses and strengths of the Giants
as well as does the little general who
leads them. He knew that to win
championship the team must score
many runs; must, in fact, score an alb
normal number. He knew that speed
was the chief asset of the team and
that to win he must utilize the best
asset to the limit. The Object of hav-
ing fast men on the bases is not so
much to have them steal as it is to
force the other team to throw the
ball and throw it quickly. One mo-
ment of decentralization Of defensive
team is enough to lose game. Nc
Graw's aim was to make opposing
teams beat themselves by hurrying
their plays. He reverted to the Balti-
more system of ignoring the number
of times runner is caught trying to
steal. provided some one steals or
takes an extra base at the critical mo-
ment .-~
Get on! Get a base on balls: get
hit: get anything, but get on. And
once on. run! Go as far as you can
on every play.
THAT. in brief. sums up McGraw's
system of attack. and it's success has
been demonstrated. While no official
statistics are to be had, believe the
Giants are caught stealing much more
frequently than are the runners of any
other team. But they lead in stolen
bases. and their running netted two
pennants. In one game that watch
ed five Giants tried to steal against
Archer. The Chicago crowd went
wild as Archer threw all five out. one
after another, as fast as they started
The sixth reached first and started
without hesitating. Archer threw wild.
the runner raced on to third, scored
on fly ball and eventually New York
won the game by one run"
