McGraw Lauded by Connie Mack

Philadelphia Banquet Love Feast
BY Tad

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 -Athle, les still hold
to the white elephant" as their en-
blem, and I hardly think they would
part with it and all 1t represents, even
II they had to give up the worlds
pennant in exchange.
VeritabIe Love Feast.
The banquet turned out to be a YER
liable 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, as was to be expected, they
were the recipients of many little
digs" but stiIl 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 Jster 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
eF 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 a shade more.
to pull the Athletics up to their past
and present prominence.
Fooled Gotham Fans.
AS Yankee Ira was very weak on
f0ulsfiys and did NOT appeal to New
York fans as being blessed with q,
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 goo6
things that have come TO him. as do
all the rest of the fellow worlds
champions.

Football Hardest Sport in World

Eleven Looks Best.
BY Frank G. Menker.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The unde-

hecks the impulse to order an east

But football being football makes
{ the hardest sport in the world to

behooves one to curb such impulses
and let the boys fight it out for sew
eral weeks longer, firstly to provide
he boys with a little exercise, and
secondly because the near future may
aold some very unexpected result.

IN tint Of Harvard shows so brightly
along the football horizon that it OBJ
lterates all else, and there seems to be
nothing left to do but slip the hon

tried and once beaten by inferior
teams; Princeton has been beaten,

the Big Three" has damned the
daylights out of each and every team

son, and In each game the Crimson

that Harvard, on account of injuries,

n TANAGER M'GRAW has surely
MI one good friend in Phlladel-
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 a most worthy rival and
to otherwise praise him for having
the same ideals of craftsmanship 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 magnanmous
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 Quaksrs.
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 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 disCredit. His
well-knOwn aggresslveness and eX-
Il. Ma
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 q close race during baseball sea-
son.
II was only last summer that Nc
Graw and his players were followed
by bowling mob of frantic Philadel-
phians from the ball park to the de-
pot, and pelted with stones.
1t is therefore quite pleasure as
well as a new and unexpected de-
parture that someone there has been
man enough to come out publicly and
tell about McGraw's good traits.
Thanks Due to Mack.
Connie Mack is therefore, entitled
to our congratula lions and also our
thanks, which we hasten to extend
anu WIN the nope tldt IClnleS SIdnO

lions between the Giants and Phillies.
And / can express l.othing more re-
ciprocally than to express the wish
that the Phillies will again finish sec

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

Best Ball Town Theory Fixed

and as a TRIBUTE TO A FIGHTING
BALL CLUB.
People will go to watch fighting
ball club, play ball. Particularly in
Atlanta.
CHIFTING with some abruptness to
~ the training season of 1914, we
note with regret that the Brooklyn
Dodgers probably will side-step Au-
gusta as a warming pan next spring.
The floods in the park there are given
as a reason, and in the effort to es-
cape that inconvenience, President
Ebbets may go as far as Texas al
though he has invitations from half a
dozen Southern towns in more civ
ilized communities.
ALSO, we have it pretty straight
- that c. w. Somers, president of
the Cleveland club, and owner of the
Toledo American Association club,
has offered Cholly Frank the handling
of his baseball farm" next year
Whether this has anything to do with
the reported holding up of Kid Ell
berfeld's engagement to manage the
Pelicans is not generally known at
this time.
D E that as it may, the opportunity
ID of adding deals with Toledo to
others with the Maps is not a conces-
sion lightly to be sneeZed at, and if
the Dutchman can't make a fight for
the top on 1914 with that lay out
well. he may assist the Crackers to
another rag, anyhow.
Still, the layout isn't settled yet.
D DOR old Chattanooga! Just one
blamed thing after another.
No sooner is Boots Williams dis
posed of for fair margin of profit to
the Lynn club in the New England
League than Mike Balenti goes to
Alaska to spend the winter. Aside
from Alaska not being our idea of a
winter resort. it will cost the Chatta-
nooga club about two hundred bucks
to get Mike back to the stable next
spring. And If there is any hook in
the preliminary arrangements, think
of the telegraph tolls!
Poor old Chatty.

Season.
We now submit Judge Kavanaugh's
figures in proof.
We are not running away with any
wild ideas, because Atlanta had a
good ball club last year, and made a
rousing finish that brought out some
prodigious crowds.
D UT allowing for all of that, and
~ taking into consideration the fact
that 1918 was slack" year in base
ball everywhere, Atlanta's average of
$3.50 persons to the game looks
mighty big for a town of Atlanta's
size-or a bigger town.
An average of 1000 persons to the
game is considered good, out in the
American Association. which has
