McGraw awakened to the fact soms
weeks ago that his Giant crew was
woefully lacking in spots. So lawn
loaded up his purse and went to mar
ket. He came back with one Of the
best, if not the best, third sacker in
the old league. J. Honus Lobert, who
has cavorted around the three-quar-
ter stop for the Phillies since 1911.
That hole Is securely plugged.
And in plugging the cavity, Jawn
j. also got rid of some dead wood
if not dead, then slightly pithy. This
excess consisted Of AL Dsmares, prin-
cipally. Demaree had an excellent
year in 1918 despite bad health. Nc
Graw picked his games for him and
the tall cartoonist came through with
flying colors. Last season he fell
down badly and Gotham fans hold his
and Marquard's failure greatly r.
sponsible for the pennant going To
Boston. Stock, the second man In the
trade for Lobert, did his best to hll
Tillie Schafer's shoes, but the result
was anything but satisfactory to Nc
Graw. Adams, young catcher, goes
TO the Philadelphia club without a
trial by McGraw. He was snared In
the draft at the close Of the 1914 sea-
son.
The Giant infield before the depart
ure Of Schafer and Herzog was con-
sidered one Of the best In the busi-
ness. Lobert, unless all the dope II
wrong, will fill Herzog's shoes admir-
ably and hole through which many
games dribbled away last season, will
be plugged.
However, a great deal of the Giants
hopes lay with the hurlers, particu-
larly whether Mathewson runs true to
form. II he does, and Marquard's
case Is settled in favor Of the Giants,

DRASTIC

The Intelligencer is Of the opinion
that the advocates Of prohibition have
weakened their cause instead OF
strengthened Il by amending the al
ready drastic Yost law In the manner
they did at the present extra session
OF the legislature. Bigotry has never
advanced any cause with the people.
The Intelllgencer refers to the provi-
sions of the House bill which make II
unlawful for any person in the State
to receive directly or indirectly liquors
from a common carrier. or other car.
rier; and that ii shall also be unlgw-
full for any person to possess intoxi-
eating liquors received in the manner
prescribed above.
This is nothing more h temper
ence u into intemperance. a faction
al element made drunk with power.
Il Is destroying the very thing that
prohibition most stands In need OF to
become effective sustaining senti-
ment. House Bill No. 10 is an onen-
sive invasion OF the most intimate
rights and privileges Of the citizen,
and this constant effort on h part Of
the radical prohibitionists to strength.
en- a drastic law will surely react and
serve to increase the growing unpopu.
lsrity Of a law that Is now beyond
the extremes Of a wise restriction.
