%rEW ORLEANS, Jan. 19.-South-
n ern League fans will find at
least three of the octet of UNI
hires President Kavanaugh employed
last season to guess decisions around
the circuit missing when the gong
sounds on April 16. Word from Lit
tie Rock has it that Messrs. Stock
dale, Fifeld and Wright have been
cut loose from the reserve list, and
that Prexy Kavanaugh is now scour-
ing the country to replace the trio,
who continually annoyed local bugs
BY rendering poor decisions and gem
eral nConlpetency.
OF the umpires Mr.. Kavanaugh
would hook, if possible, is Bill Carpen-
ter who left the Southern two years
ago to finish the season in the Inter
national, In order to save some of the
poorer jumps their jobs for the re-
mainder of the season. The Little

Carpenter, but from present indica-

Virginia Sewers
Athletic Relations
With Georgetown

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The
University of Virginia and George
town University have severed future
athletic relations.
The break came as the result of the
communication which charged
breaches of the eligibility agreement
between the two universities which
are said to have occurred on the
Georgetown football team each year
since 1909. In consequence, the an
nual football games between the two
universities, which have been great
society events, as well as all other
athletic contests, will be given up.

By O. B. Keller.

"HIS 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, it 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 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

props will promptly skid from be-

JAMES A. GILMORE. president of

reply to Mr. Weeghman's alleged Ill

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

NOV. we look at the matter from
~ this rather simple viewpoint:
II the Federal League can get the

regular schedule, the public will come
to see the players play.
If not-NOT.
That is the history Of baseball The
baseball public will always pay to see

the public for that.

McGraw took charge back in 1903
Excepting Mathewson. there never
has been one man on the Giant roster
who compared in brains with Eddie
Collins, Danny Murphy. Harry Davis
and the other heady men that Mack
has had.
M ACK started in the American
4'A League with a team noted for
its brains. And it seems that each
year when some star has dropped
from the Athletic armament anoth-
er has risen to take his place Al
ways on the Athletics roster have
there been men of brains, men who
could do their own thinking, who

In McGraw's case, he has had under

How many will dispute us when we
say that Mack, al the head OF the
1913 Giants, would not have breezed

been q failure as manager Of the

imagine his driving his players,
abusing them, calling them names
and threatening them with everything
short Of assassination?
Mack directs his men from the
bench. using a score card, a lead pen
ell, his fingers, his legs as the means
of imparting signals. But he gives
signals and directs his men in this
fashion only in crisis. At other
times he lets them think for them

men have shown through the years
that they are capable of doing It,

Mack and McGraw are alike in one
respect Both are believers in the
theory OF keeping promising recruits
on the bench for one season, or more,
if necessary, before putting them n
the game regularly. Mack kept Gel

why he cluttered up his pay roll in
