In McGraW's case, he has had under

We're mechanical baseball stars, with
Mathewson the exception, Of course.
Yet he has taken these men, lent
them some of his own brains, aroused
their latent fighting blood and has
kept the Giants at or around the top
for ten years.
How many will dispute us when we
say that Mack, at the head OF the
1913 Giants, would not have breeZcd
home a winner? Mack would have
been failure as manager Of the
Giants, and would be a failure as the
manager of any team numbering on

This Federal League proposition
has the property of looking
more different ways in a given
length Of time than any other base
ball proposition we ever remember
encountering, not even barring the
n Y. Giants.
First, 1t looks sort Of feeble. Then
it suddenly bulges forth and begins
progressing SNOWFALL fashion, picking
up everything loose. And then, right
in the thick of signing Tinker and
Knabe, and approaching" Ty Cobb
and Hans Wagner. comes a 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
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 wor ks.
JAMES A. GILMORE. president Of
j the league, comes to bat with
reply to Mr. Weeghman's alleged Ill

his bunch went, there were as many
as five regular ball clubs in the
league besides Chicago.

By Frank G. Menke.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Conne
N 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 basebalrs 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, 1t 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-fve 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
L been due mainly to the ability of
the players; the success Of the Giants
has been due mainly to the wonder
weld a bunch of mediocre ball play
ers into a pennant- winning combina-
ton.
In 1913 Mack won the American
League pennsnt because his team, as
a whole, ranked as not only the best
in that league, but the best in the
world with McGraw 1t was diff
ferent. He entered the race in the
spring of 1913 with only one re
liable, brainy pitcher-the wonderful
Mathewson-and 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 ordl-
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 1918 was no ex-
ception to what it 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.
Look over the list Of the men who

Fined for Keeping Children
from School, Mother Says
She Wants Them for Company

Arraigned ins the East Orange Po-
lice Court today for the second time
within a few months, for neglecting
to send her two children to school
regularly, Mrs. Ruby Neideg, a young
widow, was fined IS by Recorder
Francis A. Mott. jr. The last time
she was fined she collapsed in the
courtroom.
Frank Coe, principal of Columbian
School, and Truant officer Michael
Clarkson were the complaining wit
nesses. They say she has not sent
the children to school more than
twenty-eight days since the opening
of the fall term in September.
Mrs Neideg declared the older girl.
Carrie, who is thirteen, often
slammed illness, because she did not
want to attend school. She declared
that since the death of her mother
last August she often becomes lone
+some and keeps the children home
for company.
Mr.. Coe told Recorder Mott that as
a result of the mothers failure to
compel the girls to remain at school
they are far behind their classmates
in their studies and that it will be
necessary to place them in special
classes, which entails an additional
cost to the city. Recorder Mott lee
tured Mrs. Neideg concerning her
neglect and impressed upon her the
Importance of seeing the children re-
ceive proper education. She paid the
fine.
