has his back against the wall. The
doughty little manager Of the four-time
pennant winning Giants is at last
faced with the prospect Of plotting &
trailing team. That the outlook doesn't
set well with the Little Napoleon" is
plainly evidenced by the cyclonic
shake-ups that he hands his lineup. 4"
He hasn't quit yet. The word quit
doesn't appear in his vocabulary. The
pounding that his club is getting from
the others in the Tener loop will only
serve to make McGraw fight harder
than ever. But even his most ardent
supporters admit that this year his
fight looks like losing one.
To many it looks like the old Giant

odd circumstance of fate that the once

THAT IDloTIc FRIEND
MOST OF US HAVE HAD ExPERl
ENcE WITH HIM.
Worst Of 1t All Is That the Surge Of
Hate In Ones Heart Has to Be
Suppressed, Though at Times
II Almost chokeS.

Most of the annoyances Of life are
caused by friends. 1t doesn't annoy
you when your enemy tries to get you
In bad. You don't expect anything
else from him. It's his regular busi-
ness. You'd feel that he was a pretty
measly sort of an enemy If he didn't
try to puncture one of your tires!
Then you can think and speak about
him as a leprous horned toad. But
you can't think or speak about
friend that way when he gets under
your skin. He's your friend! That's
all there is to it--he did 1t, and he's
feeble-minded anteater, but he's still
your friend!
Only a dear friend would greet you
when you're feeling peculiarly gay and
fit with, "Sa-a-ay! What's the trou-
BILE? You look positively green, old
horse! Don't you feel well? You
ought to take long rest, that's right;
I don't like that hollow-eyed look OF
yours; perhaps it's your heart"
Or,
Come up behind you when you are
looking calmly at some old prints In
window on the avenue and forgetting
there are such things in the world as
idiotic friends, and let his enormous
fiat nine-pound hand down on you be-
tween your shoulders so that you
think for the moment that a prehis-
toric mule with hoofs on him the size
of the rubbish receptacles on the cor
ners has planted them in the interior
of your lungs! OrAy a friend could
inspire such diabolical and streaming
hatred that rises up in the wreck of
your breast, when you manage to turn
and see what hit you!
Or,
If you happen to ask certain friends
to 70 motoring several times and have
them to dinner quite often and you let
two or three Sundays go by without
asking them, 1t is only dear friends
who would, on meeting you next time,
greet you with Hudson Bay express
sion and bucket of sarcasm!
Or,
Speaking of the sex that is respon-
sible for all the poets. who but true
and tried friend would put over to her
friend. "Oh. Camille you were such a
pretty girl, as young girl, and you
did have the loveliest clothes!"-

Down at League Island the entire

Big jeff Tesreau, the least ffashy Of
the Giants twirlers, but the most de-
pendable, is working like a trojan
these days. He is big and capable o.
working often and McGraw is pushing
him to the limit until some of his
others get going. Rube Marquard
flashes a few great games and then
slumps. There is still the chance that
he will get right and stay there and
If he does he is unbeatble. After he
handed the Cubs beating in the first
game of their last series here, Roger
Bresnahan was heard to observe:
mo club in the world could beat
that fellow the way re is going today.
If he keeps that ub McGraw won't
have to worry"
Young Stroud, a rookie, surprised
McGraw and thousands of others, by
breaking losing streak for the Giants.
Since then he has worked often and
he has pitched good ball consistently.

their work day after day you see that
the punch" is gone. They are not
able to rise up and crush the opposi-
ton in the crises any more as they
used to do.
Probably the hardest individual
blow McGraw got was wallop by the
National league club owners. They
reduced the number of players any
club could carry to twenty-one. Nc
Graw was the hardest hit of any Ma
tional league manager. Last year
when the Feds were raiding the ranks
OF organized ball McGraw, to protect
himself, signed most of his veterans
under longtime contracts Now he
hasn't room for the youngsters that
he needs in order to build up club
for the future.
Obituaries have been written about
the Old Master-Christy Mathewson--
year after year. Already he has been
consigned to the boneyard this year.
But he is still out there on the Giant
bench and he will be on the firing line
many times this season And when
the hot sun of July and August melts
the kinks out of his arm the "Old Mas
ter" will chalk up many victory on
the Giants slate.

To Speak Japanese.

Strange as it may seem. 1t is never
theless fact (Which was admitted in
the house Of commons a short time
ago) that there Is not single off
in the British army who understands
the japanese language!
Some time ago one of the assistant
directors of military operations on the
stan of the army council compiled a
work on strategy. and the Japanese
war Office authorities perceiving its
value, translated the work. and, as Is
usual In such cases, forwarded the
British author some copies OF the
translation.
The author, not knowing the Ian
guage, turned over the leaves of the
army list, and found that not a single
officer in the British army was quail
field to act as interpreter in the Ian
guage Of its allies.

Soul Of the samurai.

swordsmith, Kakagawa Shichiyemon-

1t is the wonderful adornments of the
hilt, guard and scabbard OF the Japan
