said, on good authority, that all re- ports to the contrary, McGraw holds no stock in the New York club, much as he has desired and tried to do SO.
 When a man like Sinclair behind the Federal offer. it assumes pretty serious proportions. McGraw would be the making of the New York Feds, for no matter how the Giants go. their leaders following here assures it of a good patronage. McGraw's going would probably mean the loss of half the financial and playing effl- ciency of the Giants-that is, unless some remarkable leader superseded him.
 According to Gilmore the Feds are gathering a star outfit for New York that will rival the best in Organized baseball. The player problem is no longer worrying the independents, 1 says their presidents, but they are on the lookout for a big figure as manager. It certainly would be q ten strike if they landed McGraw.

MODES IN GOOD SHAPE.

Annapolis, Sept. 15-Three weeks of steady work have put the big squad of new midshipmen in such excellent shape that the hot weather Of the last week has not prevented even short scrimmagcs. The work has taken on an advanced character Lieut.. Ingram, head coach, has had as his assistants Hardwick, the crack back at Harvard last year; Lieut.. c. E. Smith, who played brilliant game at quarterback for the Navy some years ago, and wheatley of Annapolis Each coach took charge of. full eleven yesterday and some signal work was held.
 As on every afternoon considerable attention was paid to the forward pass. A number of the backs and ends are handling the ball excellently' The main squad will return on Sep- tember 20, which gives about two weeks preparation for the opening game against Georgetown.

'em where they are," some one of those who are now barking at his heels in the race for batting suprem- acy will wrest the lead from him. Cobb has lost over thirty points since his slump began, and he now has a margin of only about twenty points over his nearest rival. This would be a pretty safe margin at this stage of the proceedings if he were batting in his usual form, but with his bat ting only a quarter of what it usually is the lead is none too safe, and if he doesn't regain his punch" for the balance of the season there is a bright chance of another taking the batting crown away from him.

Detroit, Sept. 15-There is cause for gloom in the Tiger camp and in De- troit, and everybody from Hughey Jennings down to the humblest fan is feeling blue. The cause for all the sorrow is the sudden loss of the bat ting optics of the great and only Ty Cobb. Cobb has been in a batting slump for the past month, and the Tiger clan has slipped up on chances innumerable to overtake the leaders merely because the "Georgia Peach" was mot there" in the pinches. Cobb is still leading the pack in batting, despite his slump, but his lead has teen greatly reduced, and if he con tinues to fan the ozone and to Unit

Crawford vs. Crayath.

Those two ancient slugging rivals,
 Sam Crawford and Gabby Cravath
 are still at it. Each is the long dis tnnce clouter of his circuit, and at the present writing Cravath leads
 Crawford by ninety-eight extra bases,
 against eighty-f1ve for Wahoo Sam Crawford's total output of bases Is
 25s. against 221 for the hard smiting
 Quaker.
 Crayath is grand free-swinging ! hitter-an eminent handler of the wooden mace. But as good as he is we doubt that he Is quite as far up ; the Slugging Heights as Crawford is Cravath's margin of extra bases comes in his home run total, and soodly portion of these four-sackers has resulted from short fence barri- cades. Crawford, with all his slug
 sing ability, has belted only four , home runs in American league parks, while Cravath has piled up twenty one. So here is margin by sixty
 eight extra bases provided for Gabby
 by the home run route, where he had shorter fences to fire at.
 The extra. base advantage in the National eague, due to briefer pas
 turage in many of the parks, Is shown
 fiji the fact that, in addition to Cra- vath, Safer, Long, Doyle, Hinehman. Wagner and Cy Williams have all hit for greater totals than Cobb, Jack
 son and Speaker
 Yet no one would accuse several of these estimable athletes of being harder hitters than the A. L. three
 mentioned line or two above.

Proving Something-and Nothing

Proving Something-and Nothing.
 Oar Sir: A great deal has been written about the driving type of manager. Doesn't the fact that Pat Moran, who isn't a driver has his team in first place, while McGraw and Herzog, hard taskmasters, are at the foot, prove that, after all, men are more easily led than driven?
 G. L. F.
 Sometimes we doubt very much whether anything proves anything In sport Or whether nothing won't prove anything, or anything won prove nothing.
 Pat Moran, an easy, likeable leader, has the Phillies in front. But the hardest driver in the game, George Stallings, won world series last year, and is Moran's hardest rival this fall. Also, while McGraw, hard Griver, is down at the foot, Connie Mack, of the opposite type, is not only at the foot, but damned tightly into the heel within close danger of going on through.
 You have Moran and Mack on one side against Stallings and McGraw on the other And Stallings and McGra" have won the last four IN. L. pennahIs while the main decoration of MT Mack's house are said to be gon' fs,lons of various vintages, barring cnly the 1915 model.
 Which Proves What?
 Some of the best managers we nave ever seen in baseball were of tne Moran-Mack type. And others, fulls as good, were of the opposite mould
 Which proves that there is no se' recipe to travel by. The main 1dea is to get the best work out Of the men-to keep them on the jump-ant both the systems of Moran and Stal lirgs can accomplish this wher operated by a Moran or a Stallings 1t is merely a matter of manageria knack, magnetism or power, whlcr rs diates from different sources.

HOSIERY INDUSTRY.

In study Of the hosiery industry
Of the United States, just completed
by the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, department of commerce,
1t is pointed out that since the war
started there has been a great in
crease in the production of hosiery i'll
this country, and that even before
the war began there had been a
steady increase of about 15 per cent
annually for a number Of years. One
Of the most noticeable results Of the
increased home production before the
war started, was the rapid decrease
in Imports From 1909 to 1915 i'm
ports of cotton hosiery fell off from
Sc. 100000 to s3,00O,00O. or over 80
per cent.
This report by the bureau OF for
efgn and domestic commerce is en-
titled. 1.-THE Hosiery Industry" and is
the second of series of studies of
the clothing industry, the first of
which dealt with muslin underwear.
The reports are prepared by the cost
of production division of the bureau
and are intended primarily for the as
sistance Of congress when tariff legis-
lation is being considered. the work
of the bureau in this respect CORES
ponding to that of a tariff board. The
lHlcutlOu til6 re-
port on hosiery was to make cor
responding study of conditions IN
Europe, but the war rendered such an
undertaking out of the question.
The report as it stands, however,
serves the very useful purpose Of dem
onstrating that the hosiery industry
in this country is in a pretty sound
and healthy condition. one Of the
most important reasons assigned for
this satisfactory state of affairs is the
excellence of American seamless
hosiery. This style of footwear is dis
tinctively American. The knitting ma
chimes used in its manufacture have
been brought to their present state of
efficiency by American inventors, and
their use is confined largely to this
cent of the hosiery manufactured
here is seamless. Low cost of manu-
facture is the main reason for it's po-
sition in the market.
The more expensive hosiery is full
fashioned That is, it is made of
shaped or fashioned pieces which are
closed by scanning and Looping It has
seam "up the back" While higher
priced, it is more likely to fit perfect
ly There was a time when all such
hosiery came from abroad, and today
practically all imported hose is full
fashioned It Is the product upon
which European knitters concentrated
while Americans were perfecting the
seamless article. OF late years, how
ever the American mills have pushed
forward even in this line. Between
1909 and 1914 the imports in hosiery
fell off heavily, partly on account of
the growing popularity OF the cheap
er seamless product. but partly also
because of the fact that the American
full-fashioned stocking was brought
quite up to the level of its foreign
