FISCHER AND CAREY
 BEST BASE RUNNERS

There would be general rejoicing among the Central League graduates in the National League if the rules of the Chalmers commission of newspa- per experts were changed so that a, car would be awarded to the leading base-stealer in the parent body in stead of 4 to. the player whom the scribes consider most valuable to his team.
 Had this method of procedure been followed<from 1909 on Bob Bescher, former Red and new Giant, would have had four autos in his garage and Max Carey, of the Pirates. one.
 Both these expert base pilferers came to the National League from the organization of which Louis He'll broner, for many years Garry Herr nann's head ivory hunter, is the pres ident. Cincinnati procured BescheI who led the National League in thefts in 1909, 1910, 1911 and 1912, from Dayton, while Pittsburg captured Ca rey, the boss of the Rallies Brigade last year, in South Bend.
 The speedy Pirates base-running g percentage last season was TSP, he making 78 attempts to steal, of which 61 were successful. Almost half of Carey's stolen bases were gained in the combats with the Reds and the Phi1lies. Max stole. IA hassocks on Johnny Kiing & Go, and 13 on Bill Killifer and his assistants in the Qua ker backstopping department.

Detroit Manager Denies He Ne gotiated With Federals
 This Year.

Scranton, Pa, Jan. 20-Hughey J Jennings, manager of the Detroit American League team, denied em- phatfcal1y last light the story that he sought to manage the Pittsburgh team of the Federal League. When bb- cated the Tiger chieftain, was address ing the Membership Committee of the Scranton Catholic Club. When asked about the letters which he is supposed to have sent, Jennings said:
 s..'In 1912 received a-Ietter from a Pittsburgh business man whose name I can't recall at present. He offered me the position of. manager Of the Pittsburgh Federal League Club and begged me to sign a contract at once.
 tI sent a reply to the Pittsburgh offer, in which stated that my con tract with the Detroit team did not expire until the end of the 1918 sea- son. However, in my letter I said I would consider any proposition offer ed by the Pittsburgh Club. Since that time I have heard nothing.
 Would you consider an offer from the Federal League now Jennings was asked
 ssI would not consider any offer from any Federal League. club now under any conditions,'' the Tiger man ager replied. :T have signed 1914 contract with the Detroit 4Club.''

HAS FORD GONE OVER TO OUTLAWS?
Report That New York Amer ican Star Signed Federal
 Contract.

It was reported in New York last night that Russell Ford, a pitcher of the New York nerican League Club, had wired to President Frank Farrell that he had signed a contract to play in the Federal League. MT Farrell could not be reached to ascertain the truth of the rumor. The report came from such an authentic source that it hardly can be doubted.
 Thomas Clark, catche.. for the Gin cinnati National League baseball team, who with Kling caught the majority of the games last year for Tinker's s team, yesterday received a telegram at his home on Cdrona, LII, asking him to start for Buffalo at once to talk terms with Manager Schafly of the Federal League team of that city. Six thousand dollars for the season was the salary offered.
 Clark said yesterday that he had re- fused to sign for August Hermann hus far because the owner of the Reds had not met his demand of $6.0OO salary. Clark intimated he might go to Buffalo to talk matters oyer, but said he was in mo hurry to sign with any one.

JOHNNY M'GRAW
 HAS KIND HEART
Takes Boyhood Friend on Trip Around World With
 Giants.

John MoGraw, manager of the Giants. is oft-tfmes pictured as a fire eating parsonage. We all have heard how he made things fly when at Bal timore-how he used to sharpen his spikes to bring terror to the rival first basemen-how he raves, rants and tears things up generally and sew era1ly in the ball field, writes Nal coln MacIean in the Chicago Post. N Strong men have quailed before 1EcGraw's fearless eye He has been called. ssMuggsy''-a name which he deeegtS by the way-and likewise the Little Napoleon" q
 Turning the picture we find another John McGraw-a niId-mannered, sweet dispositioned, charitable McGraw. Those who know him intimately say that scores of old ball players. down and-oufers. are remembered by Me Graw in the way of goodly checks. He of these fellows. Yet he does it an in . way that nobody ever learns uR if.
 We just ran across an instance which proves that McGraw never for Eetz.
 NcGraw was born in a little New York town called Truxton forty years azoA Near Truxton lies DeRuyter, and the two places are deadly rivals, particularly in baseball Games be- tween the towns nave Deen Ie1IuHSss for many years
 when 1EcGraw grew old enough to take an interest in baseball he fell good and hard-has never recovered, in fact He used to carry pa1ls of water just to be near the Truxton players. His great 1do1 was a pitch CT named Bert Kinney, a good one in his day. Bert pitched for Princeton university in the Springtime and on the Truxton team in the summer-
 Every move made by Kinney would be noted by McGraw. and finally Bert began to take an interest in the small lad. As he grew older, McGraw show ed more and more promise until finally he landed a small position with the Clean. N- r., squad
 Kinney followed his budding career and finally Gook him up to Baltimore. McGrawy aItheugh only a kid. soon made good Since that time he has steadily advanced, until today he is a leading figure in baseball
 In the meantime Kinney retired from the game and opened hotel at TrHton- McGraw's father, being a TFidower, lived at this hotel and his son frequently visited hiTps =ss
 The manager of the Giants always has been kindly disposed toward Kin ney. as can well be imagined So he invited Bert to be his guest at the worlds series and to accompany him around the world with the Giants. This costs Kinney absolutely nothfn g- McGraw paying all freight.
 Truxton newspapers aEd says that he is having some time. Frequently he takes in tickets at the gate just to help out

 STICK TO GIANTS
Star Shortstop Has Two Year Contract With McGraW's
 Men.

There need be no fear about Artie Fletcher, the Giants crack shortstop, prancing around short for any Fed eral nine, as the CodinsviIle kids 1914 contract was yesterday promulgated. By some overs sight in the offices of the Giants it was not noticed until yes terday that Fletcher signed a two year contract last @winter, and does not need to be signed up for next season.
 President Hampstead therefore had Fletcher'e contract promulgated at National league headquarters aud the local mngnate has one less star to worry about
 If the Giants lost Artie He tcher at the present time it would be a, severe blow to them, as "FIeteh'' is now one Of the recognized stars of the club. What a change one year can make! Last winter New York fans did not care much what wollld happen to Fletcher; McGraw himself admitted Schafer would be z-the Giants 1913 shortstopper. Charlie Herzog was 1he big hero then; had he not hit 400 against the Red Sox pitchers in the worlds series?
 Now .Herzy'' has drifted to other fields It is true he is a manager, Eut had he remained on tE Giants he would have been only "a sfnstftute, while Fletcher is now on the top Fletcher must be given credit for pe- ing a game performer. or. he never colrtd have come back the way he ala-

 A meeting was held in Dwight nall and many were converted to the white ribbon cause. The new creed for Yale men was explained to hundreds of others and pledges to live up 70 the terms of the creed were given Tn writing by many of those present.
 The pledge reads as follows. We believe that 1t is for the best interests Of Yale that all men who have at heart the advancement of the cause of Christ be united in a definite plan of action We are agreed that under present conditions at Yale it Is our duty during our college course to re- frain absolutely from and to try to suppress drinking. gambling and bet ting and attendance at immoral tne-s atrical performances.
 Announcement was made at a meet ing of the Yale corporation that gifts and pledges of $350,000 had been ob- tained to help carry out arran geInenfs for the development of the Yale 'Di- yinity School into a fyers1ty school of religion. These gifts will increase the endowment of the school to more than s1.200 900, the largest deWnler1t Of any theoIogfcaf school in an Afneri- can university.
 Among the gifts were. S100, 600 from Mrs. D. Willis James and Arthur Cur tiss James, of New Haven; $50 600 from Mrs Stephen Merren Clement, Of Buffalo, N Y.,s and an anonymous gift of s10o, ,0oO the latter to found a chair of social service. tz3ze
