The base ball manager who sacrifices
quality for quantity imposes a handicap
on himself. The strength of numbers
does not always prevail. One good bali
player is worth more than three not quite
as good, because only one man can play
one position at a time. and no matter
how many substitutes there are on the
bench, only nine men can play the game
John McGraw recognizes these facts
and though the Giants last season car
ried a good sized pitching staff and had
capable substitutes for every position,
they won the pennant with fewer players
than any other club. Only thirty two
athletes labored for McGraw. The Gin
cnnati Reds finished next to last with
forty-five men, twenty of whom were
pitchers.
Had Small Squad.
The Giants were able to win with the
smallest squad because they Were man
aged to the last degree of efficiency and
because McGraw did his wedding out
before the season began. Only eleven
pitchers were on his pay roll during the
season. The other clubs employed from
thirteen to twenty hurlers.

800 Players Figured.
The number of players vino participated
in the 1913 campaign was just $40, ac-
cording to John Heydler, the efficient
secretary of the National League. These
were apportioned as follows:
Boston. forty-six: Cincinnati, forty-five:

the hills which tower above the Gu
Zebra cut. Already an elaborate plant
OF Hydraulic monitors has been
installed near Coal Hill, overhangins

water has been obtained by damming

will seek to slice away the sides of
the hill so that the water borne earth
will be carried away from the Guile

1t is hoped in this way to relieve the
tremendous pressure on the lower
strata, which has been rising UP into

operation of dozens of great steam

the Farmers gin, said at the time to
have been leased to the Southwestern
Cotton company. He declared this
gin was the first to raise the ginning
price to s. a bale.

the purpose of controlling cotton pri-

cry question asked by West, declar-
ing the prosecutor was attempting to
lead the witness in securing answers,
He objected to the introduction OF
the letters and other papers as evi-
denCe, but Judge Huston admitted
many of them. Horner declared the
letters did not support the charge in
the indictment against Coyle of a
specific act at Crescent, while West
aVowed they were used to show the
general conspiracy Of which the Cres
cent act was but a part. Horner also
attacked several of the papers, be-
cause they were simply carbon cop
les.
Twenty Seven Witnesses Sworn.
Altogether twenty-seven witnesses
we're sworn late today, including the
employees of the various gins at Cres-
cent and of the COyle offices in Guth-
rie.
Miss Marie Koetsch stenographer,
and o. Brown, bookkeeper for Coyle,
were used in attempts to identify
the various letters and papers offer
ed as exhibits by West; ED Stobaugh
superintendent of the Houghton and
Douglas gin at Crescent; and James
Hepburne, county attorney, here when
the indictments were returned, were
used by West to identify paprs that
were before the grand jury at that
time and Hess and Stobaugh also as
to prices paid for cotton as Cres.

Tells Of Price Advance.
Hess admitted receiving instruct
ions from the Cawthorn company to
raise the price of ginning from $3.50
to s. a bale and identified a receipt
given a farmer for ginning a bale and
charging 50. He said there was a
lot of vtocton at Crescent, great riv-
airy among the buyers, and much dis
satisfaction among the residents be-
cause of the raise in ginning price.
In his opinion, the fact that the mer-
chants were buying cotton might
have had something to do with rails
ing the price. Hess is to be recalled
tomorrow.
Judge Huston ruled, in overriding
an objection of Attorney Homer
that witnesses could refer to mem
oranda to refresh their memories as
to prices paid for cotton.
1t is believed the trial will last a
week.
