Of the umpires Mr.. Kavanaugh
would hook, if possible, is Bill Carpen-

poorer jumps their jobs for the re-

"HIS Federal League proposition
has the property of looking
mores different ways in given
length of time than any other base
ball proposition we ever remember
encountering, not even barring the
\. Y. Giants
First. it looks sort of feeble, Then
it suddenly bulges forth and begins
progressing SNOWFALL fashion, picking
up everything loose. And then. right
in tie thick of signing Tinker and
Knabe and approaching Ty Cobb
and Hans Wagner comes story
from Chicago that the Fed League is
plucking at the covers and giving out
other symptoms Of passing on.
Wherefore, we don't know what to
think. And in that we have abso-
lutely nothing on nearly everybody
connected with the situation.
Nobody seems to know what to
think.
THE Chicago eruption Of grave
L symptoms is reported to have
started with Mr.. Charles Weeghman
president of the Chicago Feds.
Mr. Weeghman is quoted as saying
that there are exactly two ball clubs
in the proposed circuit that look like
ball clubs; to wit, Chicago and Bal
timore.
Show me four more ball clubs, and
I'm on" Mr. Weeghman is said to
have said. conveying the impression
that otherwise Mr.. w. was decidedly
off. And it generally is admitted that
if the Chicago club withdraws, the
props will promptly skid from be-
meath the entire works.
JAMES A. GILMORE. president Of
j the league. comes TO bat with
reply to Mr. Weeghman's alleged ul-
timatum, to the effect that, so far as
his bunch went, there were as many
as five regular ball clubs in the
league besides Chicago.
Several OF the owners demanded

Weeghman was the hardest to sat

Bv Frank q. Menke.

ATEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Connie
~ Mack, of the Athletics. and
John McGraw, of the Giants,
as widely separated in temperament
and in their managerial methods as
the north and south poles, rank as the
greatest leaders in baseball's history.
But which is the greater?
It's a natural question that follows
such a situation, and it's question
that at first seems hard to answer.
Yet. after studying the records of
both men, it seems that the honor
of being the greatest leader must
rightly be given to McGraw.
This statement is made in face of
the fact that Mack has won as many
pennants-five in number-as has
McGraw, and that Mack has grabbed
three world series championships in
four starts. while McGraw has won
but once in four starts.
THE success of the Athletics has
been due mainly to the ability of
the players; the success of the Giants
has been due mainly to the wonder
full. uncanny power of McGraw TO
weld a bunch of mediocre ball play
ers into a winning combina-
ton.
In 1913 Mack won tho American
League pennant because his team, as
a whole ranked as not only the best
in that league, but the best in the
world with McGraw ii was diff
ferent. He entered the race in the
spring Of 1913 with only one re-
liable. brainy pitcher--the wonderful
Mathewson-an with a team that.
on paper and in actual natural
strength, ranked below three other
teams in the National League
Yet the Giants won the pennant
by a wide margin Why? The an
sWer is. MCGraw, He took his ordi-
nary, mechanical ball players and
made them into a machine. Then he
oiled the machine with his own won
derful fighting spirit, supplied the
brains that his men lacked, thought
for them. acted for them and did
about everything but play the game
for them.
WITH any other manager but Nc
w Graw at the helm, the Giants
never would have been in the race
last year When the team crumpled
up early in the summer and seemed
to have gone to pieces utterly. other
managers would have felt that there
was no chance to finish in the lead.
But McGraw was different He never
gave in, and he never let his men
quit. The more they were pummeled
and pounded around by their rivals,
the faster he sent them back at their
opponents.
The situation in 1913 was no ex-
ception to what II has been in other
years. Fate seems to have ruled that
each year Mack Is to have a won
derful galaxy OF brainy players, and
that McGraw is to have nothing but
mechanical men.
