THE NEW YORK HANDICAP

But McGraw is up against an entirely
different proposition. Where Stallings
has a machine that is coming, ma
chine still young in years and expert
ence, McGraw has a machine that has
started slipping and a lineup for the
most part that is fairly old in wars.
So McGraw, for the most part, must
either stand pat on his veterans or take
an enlarged gamble by Grating several
vets back beyond the trenches and talk
ing a chance with his youngsters.

FORSYTH, Ga.-Several women of
Forsyth are on the lookout for a
spectacle man" who spent several
hours calling on the hospitable peo-
pic of this city, and left several dol
lars richer because of his short So
journ. He fought shy of the bust
ness part of town, and only called on
widows. His plan was to sell gold
mounted glasses with lenses ground
in Germany" and to take old glasses
in part payment. When payment
was made he made it point never
to have any change, and left the
house to get the change, for which he
is seemingly still looking. Growing
suspicious when the change did not
show up several parties reported the
matter to the police, but the stran-
ger and his gray overcoat had de-
parted for parts unknown, taking
with him several pairs of good spec
tacles and a number of perfectly good
dollars.
