Past and Present

Christy Mathewson starts his managerial
career firmly imbedded in last place.
But McGraw started with the Giants in
the same fashion.
And Matty started his pitching career by
losing his first three games. the only games
he pitched that season.
Yet later on McGraw became pretty fair
sort OF a manager and Mathewson had at
least passing success upon the mound.
The start, after all, is only a small part
Of it over the long route.

'OFFICTALS POOR"
PLANT OF MANY
TENNIS PLAYERS
But Condition Is Sure to Be
Remedied in National
Championship

Many tennis players who have played
over the big circuit" comprising Utica,
Longwood, Seabright Newport and South.
ampton, are complaining about the poor
work of the umpires and other officials fur
nished in these events The powers that
be" in other sections, If they are interested
in obtaining competent officials. may take
a leaf out of the record book of the Phila-
delphia and District Lawn Tennis Assoca-
tion.
This organization, in addition to foster
ing the development and growth of the
junior movement. is making giant strides
to develop officials. At the junior event
held recently all the matches save a very
few were judged by junior players, and their
work was as good as and in some respects
better than that at any other local tourna-
ment.
Juniors Good "Umps"
Even the final and championship rounds
were umpired and lined by juniors. Soaring
Wilson, junior indoor champion of Phiadel-
phla, was in the chair for the' singles final,
and Carl Fischer was perched there in the
doubles, Both made their decisions quickly
and correctly
1t is remarkable how little many players
know about umpiring and judging. At one
tournament this year n service line official
insisted in calling good" when the service
was in, instead of remaining silent and
calling only the balls that were out. This
is most disconcerting.
AS a general rule. however, events in the
Philadelphia district do not lack good Off
cials. Our "champeen" umpire Is A. l..
Hoskins, vice president of the U. S. N. l..
T. A. Hoskins has a style entirely in
dividual. He calls out in full, deep tone
without any break at the finish. and many
try to initiate his methods, George Scoop"
Sullivan, eX-scribe now making the rounds
OF the resort tournaments in an effort TO
capture a couple of trophies to take back
to State College with him, almost choked in
a recent tournament trying to announce his
decisions, "a la Hoskins" Fortunately, his
windpipes managed to hold out against the
terrific strain.
Calling Foot Faults Hard
The hardest job Of all is that of the foot
fault judge. II the faults are glaring II is
easy enough, but when they are merely
technical foot faults from which the server
gains little advantage, 1t is almost impos-
sible to detect them. And in important
matches a player is so likely TO be fius.
judges hesitate to call them unless they
violate every rule.
An instance of this occurred the other
day at Southampton Richard Harte and
Joseph j. Armstrong were playing their
match in the round before the semi-flnaI
Harte was serving, and when the Judge
called a foot fault on him he went so high
in the air that he served three doubles in
a row before coming down.
Fortunately. there is no dearth of good
officials when the championship gets down
to eight survivors Players of the old school
always are around, willing to serve, and
the job resolves itself into one OF giyinr,
everybody a chance to officiate without
passing up any willing worker.

Cast-Ofs

When Wilbert Robinson gathered In his
broad and manly breast Jack Coombs, Rube
Marquard and Larry Cheney, three cast
offs the rumor went abroad that Robby
might be success at establishing a Haven
for Hasbeens. but that as a pennant con-
tender he had a number of guesses coming,
Yet so far Coombs. Marquard and Cheney
have come through with 81 Victories for
Brooklyn, and all three are registered
among the first 10 pitchers of the league.

Pitching Pairs

n NTATHEWSON and McGinnity formed
1tl probably the greatest pitching pair
in baseball
Yet the most remarkable pair In many
ways were Coombs and Plank. Not only for
what they did as Mackmen, but for what
they have accomplished along the sunset
road, where they were merely figured as
light aids in time of stress Coombs's one
hit affair against the Cubs is proof enough
that Colby Jack is still winning factor, for
while he has had a sore arm good part of
the year he has won 10 games out of IA
starts.
Just what do figures mean? Looking
back over the records as arranged to date
we find these pitchers have been beaten
oftener than any others in the two ma jor
leagues-Johnson, Bush, Myers, Caldwell.
Toney, Meadows and Vaughn.
Yet If you owned ball club and this staff
was wished upon you, just how many briny
tears would you weep?
Walter Johnson has lost more games than
any other pitcher in major league baseball,
barring only Myers. of the MacRmen so
far they have nipped him IT times. In the
way of defeats he has suffered worse than
any year since 1909, when he was beaten
20 times. And yet he has won more games
than any other pitcher In his circuit and
now is trailing, in this respect, to Alexander
alone.
These United States have lost tennis and
golf championships to England but this is
the first time the pale shadow of the Japa-
neSe cherry blossom ever drooped athwart
the championship scene.

The seaport market is always the ACTIVE

here.
Send your cotton 10 this Company, and get the
advantage Of our very low insurance rate and
reasonable storage charges while waiting favor
able turns in the market. You will also have
our help in selling your cotton, if you wish, and
we will be pleased to serve you IN EVERY WAY
WE CAN.
Our wonderful new STANDARD Compress,
which reduces the size Of the bale to the mini
mum, standardizes its form and thus cuts down
the cost of freight and handling, is in operation
in Mobile this season. Consequently, Mobile
buyers can afford to pay higher prices than
those located at points where the old-fashioned
congresses are at work.
1t is good business for you to ship your cotton
to us. Write US at once for full information.
When cotton is received, we issue to owners,
IN THEIR w NAME, NEGOTIABLE RE-
CEIPTS, showing weight and grade of each bale,
thereby giving OWNERS COMPLETE CON-
troll OF THEIR COTTON. With the informa-
ton on the face Of these receipts, they are en-
abled to offer their cotton advantageously to
their local buyers and sell quickly when they
desire; or, returning the receipts to us, they can
instruct us to sell when prices obtainable are
satisfactory.

COMPLETES NEW ROAD LINES
County Surveyor Lays Out Grand

County Surveyor Garfield returned
Friday from five days job running
the lines for new road from Bentley
to Round Prairie. Mr.. Garfield says
that the lines provide road that
shortens the distance four miles be-
tween the two points and eliminates
some bad grades. The county survey
or says that the road he has view
ed, and upon which he will make a
final survey the latter part Of next
month, will not have grade more
than four per cent. The proposed
road starts one and half miles west
of Bentley, via Rogue River to the
intersection Of Polk, Lincoln and Til
lamook counties and down the county
line between Tillamook and Lincoln
or along Salmon river. The distance
is eight miles. Tt is said that pc
tition is now being circulated in the
Grand Ronde country for the shortest
and most practicable road from Grand
Ronde to Salmon river
