And now, let US discourse bit OIL
cerning those pop-eyed New York Yam
kees.
up to the present moment, we have
refrained from uttering a few kind
words concerning them. The res a
reason, as they say in breakfa st food
circles. The reason is that in the
past whenever someone asserted that
the Yanks look good" the Yanks
promptly rose up and called TINT some
one liar by trying to burrow through
the bottom of the Americanf league.
But this year it may be- different.
AT any rate, we cannot do sother than
make the plain statement that the
1915 Yankees look better and have
been displaying better baseball than
any Yank team since gack Chesbro
and associates nearly won a pennant
in 1904.
The Yanks, SO far. have Abeen the
real surprise of the American league.
No one expected them to get away
with a jump because of two seemingly
good reasons. One was that b was a
comparatively new ball club and it
was figured that itfwould,t take asmonth
or SO for it to get to working smooth

NEW UNIFORMS FOR MAcKMEN
Players on Philadelphia Athletic Team
to Wear Gray-Green Suits When
Away From Home.

Along with the new stars who have
left the Philadelphia American fold
this year go the much criticized road
uniforms of the Athletics. When
away from the Shibe park the Mack
men wear costumes of grayish
green, while the old coal scuttle caps

black bill and stripes.
y This is the first time since Mack
won the first championship for Phila-
delphia that there has been change
in the uniform of the Athletics. Mack
Is more or less superstitious, and he
believed that the dull gray uniforms
in which the Athletics formerly ap-
peared were partly respcnti ible for the
good fortune of his team. For that
reason he was soath to change, al
thoagh his team was often criticized
Tor its slovenly appearance.

~ IGHT pennsnts IN ten starts as a
manager-that's the amazing rec
IL ord Of Bill Phillips, a major league
pitching star for nearly II years. and
now the pilot Of the indianapolis Feds.
Probably the most remarkable fea-
ture OF Phillips managerial record is
the fact that he hasn't handled just one
club. as have Connie Mack, John Nc
Graw ana HuChie Jennings In his ten
year career as manager, Phillips has
handled six clubs in various leagues
and Of different caEber. And Yet he
has taken the material that has been
offered TO him year after year and
with but two exceptions has welded II
into baseball machines that moved 10
the TOP.
Phillips began as a manager in 1904.
That year he handled the Indianapolis
team IN the American association That
team finished around third place-the
lowest position ever credited TO a team
that Phillips managed The only other
time Phillips failed to win pennant
was in 1911 when he managed the Liv-
erpooI team in the Ohio and Pennsyl-
vauia league. That year his team fin
ished second-about one game behind
the winner.
As to His Methods.
Phillips methods Ask him and he'll
tell you he has none And he'll answer
in monosylables. For Phillips is not a
the last subject that he will select is
himself
But those who have worked under
him know that he has a methOd-the
most effective method in the world He
treats his men as a loving kindly father
would do. He never orders them 10 do
anything. He asks them-and the way
I'm which he asks is the way most folks
use when they want favor done

certainly an effective one. Eight pen

Senator Kenyon went Ben Johnson one better
yesterday when the District bill was under discus
sion. At the last session the chairman of the
House District Committee read, for the bene-
fit of the House, the bill of fare OF the
hotel in which the Citizens Committee of One
Hundred held its meetings. Yesterday Senator
Kenyon referred to the committees discussions
over the champagne and cigars" And all because
the committee met in a hotel where, if they hap
pened to be hungry or thirsty refreshments could
be purchased. 1t is doubtful whether the hotel
receipts were increased to the extent of S. as a
result of all the meetings held by the committee
of citizens. At least one member of the Senate
was present at one of the meetings and possibly
before the debate the District bill closes he may
correct the false impression Senator Kenyon tried
to convey to the Senate. =

MIR. Gardner's Little Joke.

The impression that Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts,, is not altogether serious in his
somewhat robustious propaganda for increased ma
tional preparedness for war is heightened by his
recently expressed willingness to have Uncle Sam
devote 500, 100000 year to that purpose. That
would almost equal the total amount appropriated
by Congress in 1914 for the maintenance of the
government, exclusive of the postal service. 1t is
a as large that OF the German army and
navy budget OF 1913 together with the cost of both
the British and the Japanese navies. 1t would give
to the United States a land force equal to the
Kaiser's and naval armament equal to that of
Germany. Great Britain and Japan combined.
Clearly, Mr.. Gardner is not parsimonious when it
comes to the spending OF another's money.
1t is indeed true that impersonal Uncle Sam is
that Other" but how does Mr.. Gardner expect him
to raise $500 100000 year for indefinite period?
1t is the difficulty involved in this problem which
breeds the suspicion that the young Massachusetts,
lawmakcr is now engaged in the process of "hav-
ing the time of his life" He knows as we'll any
other that it is by easy matter to get
the money to carry the ordinary business of the
government The total revenue for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1914, $734673I67 After Mr..
Gardner had spent his $500 100000 for war prepara
ton how would the Treasury manage ito do the
rest"
And right there, we suspect, is where the joke
comes in. Certainly Mr. Gardner knows-if he
doesn't know it, his keen-witted father-n-aw could
make it plain to him-that amount of political
jugglery could draw $7oo,oooooo per annum from
the American people for any such purpose. Moth
ing short of impending war would serve to turn
the trick Would Mr.. Gardner be willing to risk
his chances of political preferment by voting for
such proposition? There is little doubt as to the
fate of a Congress which tried to impose tax of
500 100000 a year for military efficiency in time
of peace. The Princeton scheme to include mill
tary training in the curriculums of all American in
stitutions of learning would be decidedly prefer
able.
