President Tener has taken a shot at
the Federals. He claims that the men
behind the new organization are after
the money. Wonder what the National
League is after-the glory. Ell, what?
The first squad of Reds will leave for
Inc spring training camp February 90
with the second bunch leaving Just a
week later. The athletes viii remain in
Alexandria, La, until March 81. They
Will stop off at New Orleans, Mobile
and Louisville on the way North.
Buck Herzog is about 30 years old
now. but his friends around the Ma
tionsl League claim that he'll be 40 by
the Fourth of July. This may and again
may not be true.
Frank Delahanty, who has been q
member OF the Minnea polls club. of
the American Association, for the past
few seasons, may sign with the Mobile
club next year.

Oscar Stanege, catcher for the Tigers
thinks Jennings team will be in the

wheelers made great records during the
1918 campaign. The former once had
a chance with the Phillies and beat the
Giants out of pennant.

reason why it shouldn't make go of
1t. Baseball is fairly ripe for revo-
luton of the regular type-that Is, a
revolution staged like that Of the
American League something over a
decade ago.
But a Mexican type of instruction

a ND one word more
4 If 1t be true, as charged rather
freely that certain Federal League
promoters are gaining a large show OF
temporary coin by assuring certain
wealthy persons that there are easy
and vast fortunes to be made in base
ball, tile Federal League is not going

any one Of six, or eight-or ten-big
league clubs to-day that are not max
ing money at all; or to one OF four or
five that are losing steadily.
The big money" in baseball is &
delusion and a snare. and 1t might
possibly be made into a very up-to-

By O. B. Keller.

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, 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 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 10 know what to
think.
THE Chicago eruption OF grave
1 symptoms is reported to have
started with Mr. Charles Weeghman,
president, of the Chicago Feds.
Mr.. Weeshman 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 a
reply to Mr. Weeghman's alleged ul-
timatuln, 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
showdown in the matter OF players
signed" Mr.. Gilmore states. Mr.
Weeghman was the hardest to sat
isrv but | believe were all square
now"
NOV. We look at the matter from
~ this rather simple viewpoint:
If the Federal League can get the
players, and keep them and play a
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
star players play. It will not pay TO
sec alleged major league ball played
Inv semi-pro PLAYERS. We don't blame
the public for that
A Nd this resolves the matter into
n blunt. cold question of hard cash
and plenty Of A. If the Federal
League is prepared to spend money
BY THE MILLION there Is no good

Bv Frank 6. Menke.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-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 tho
greatest leaders in baseballs history.
But which is the greater?
It's a natural question that follows
such 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
1 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 q pennant- winning combina-
ton.
In 1913 Mack won the 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 it was diff
ferent. He entered the race in the
spring of 1918 with only one re
liable, brainy pitcher-the wonderful
Mathewson-and with 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 Me
" 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 1912 was no ex-
ceL.,on to what II kas been In other
years. Fate seems to have ruled that
each year Mack il TO have a won
derful galaxy OF bralny players, and
that McGraw is to have nothing but
mechanical men.

Virginia Sewers
Athletic Relations
With Georgetown

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-The
University of Virginia and George
town University have severed 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
nlal football games between the two
universities, which have been great
society events, as well as all other
athletic contests, will be given up.
