Bill Donovan's Men De-
eide Not to Rival the
Flying Giants.
RED SOX STEP ON
Squirt AND CRUSH 1T
Australian Crawl Delivery of
Carl Mays Keeps the Local
Athletes Mystifed.
BY GRANTLAND RICE

IL Is entirely too much 70 request
one community TO support two Win
ming Streaks at the same time. It
isn't so much the original cost, but
the upkeep of Misunderstanding is
said 20 be excessive. Naturally. since
one Winning Streak had 10 be aban-
doned, IL was only fair for the Yanks
10 quit frs:, as the Giants hit upon
the original idea several weeks ago
In view Of this complication Bill
Donovsn's cast decided 10 let Carl
Mays get by without suffering any
annoyance. Using the same old Aus
tralian Crawl stroke and starting the
pitch from his thick ankles. Carl
curled the Yanks up with three hits,
while beating Ray Caldwell to O.
This has been q season of unusual
Yank prosperity, but very little Of IL
has chung 70 Rays glove. The tall
and sedate Pennsylvania has the best
ball club back of him he ever pitched
for. but he can't win. Yesterdays
overthrow made five defeats out OF
seven starts, yielding a percentage Of
.2s5 or Whereabouts, or nearly 300
points below the average of the club.
Last season Ray won 10 games with
n
OF its averaging about 1874.
To equal that record with a good club
he must win II games before October.
This last Red SoX defeat was not
Caldwells exclusive fault by any
means. If Ray had pitched his arm
and collarbone away the best he
could have looked for was a tie. For
the Yanks could see no reason why
they should hit Carl Mays. Lee Magee
singled in the first; Wally Pipp sin
gled in the second and Ray Caldwell
doubled in the third. This was the
last blow that Mays allowed. To
break the overhanging routine, he Of
fered the Yanks three passes in the
last six innings, but nothing that even
remotely took on the form and tint
of base hit.
For beyond the three passes no other
Yank reached first after the third peri
cd, and only one or two we're able
10 poke the ball beyond the infeld.
Caldwell allowed only six hits, but he
also issued six passes, lack of con-
troll being due 10 his enforced rest
while nursing a wounded finger
OF the six blows, one was a home
run by Thomas into the right field
stands, and this alone would have been
enough to put Mays through. This
game may not have cheered up the
Yankees to any great extent, but it had
a wonderfully soothing effect upon Joe
Lannin, owner Of the Red Sox. Mr..
Lannin had seen his proud Champs
beaten six times in a row, and the
constant prodding had started to get
upon his nerves.
"Shore and Foster" he said, 1.-TWO Of
our stars, haven't been able to get
started yet Neither has quite recov-
cred from last seasons hard finish, but
we expect to have them going by an
other week Then you'll see a different
club" Seeing different club will be
no treat to US. although We can under
stand how it might appeal TO Colonel
Lsnnin.

Success Attends Auto Races.

Criticism of a certain kind is one of the easy
things in life. Nearly everybody can criticise
and most everybody does. Some persons are
paid for crtcisng, but others give criticism free
of charge Those who crticise without charge
and merely for the pleasure of criticising form
the big majority of critics.
A man who never has driven nail may be
able to point out defect in a house after it
is built. A man whose literary efforts have been
confined to the writing of business letters may
be able to find fault in the plot of novel
A who never has driven an auto may be
able to pick flaws in the management Of an auto
race
But is it fair for the man who has never
built house, written a novel or managed an
auto to find fault with the accomplishments
of others? The answer seems to be in the mega
tive.
Yesterday at the Benning track where auto
races staged criticism filled the air wherever
spectators gathered. The management was CEN
sured for failing to provide drinking water for
the patrons. The management was ridculed for
permitting long waits between the races. The
management was criticised for almost everything
that displeased any one Of the spectators Was
this fair? The answer seems to be in the mega
tive.
The people of Washington were offered day
Of sport through the efforts of a group OF Wash
ington auto men. Few of these devote their
lives to arranging auto and the arrange
ments were not perfect. But excellent sport
was enjoyed and the majority of the thousands
who witnessed it had what is called a good time.
The races were such success that it seems prac-
tically certain they will be run again next Labor
Day.
Perhaps some Of those who censured the
managers of the auto yesterday believe
they could have managed the event with more
skill If they entertain this belief they should
not waste their time in idle and ineffective CEN
sure. They should offer their suggestions and
their services to the American Auto Racing As
ISOLATION and both probably will be accepted for
use in staging the big speed contest next Labor
Day

The Methods of the Trainmen.

Labor is having its inning Congress last
week passed an eight-hour law for railroad en-
ployes under conditions which. had they been
employed by others than organized employees,
would have brought an avalanche of protest from
one end of the country to the other.
The fact that the pressure of organized labor
was sufficient to bring the administration to the
point where it felt the demands could not be
ignored does not indicate that the demands were
just.
The eight-hour day is a subject for arbitra-
ton and the revolutionary revision of schedule
for the railroads which the demands enforce
properly be considered the subject of mos,
mature and intelligent thought on the part
of those who have given such matters their at
tention
When IS per cent Of an employed body can
dictate wages, it does not mean that the demands
are right, but it demonstrates Overwhelmingly
the advantage of organization.
Capital, with all its strong entertainments
never has dared to make the arbitrary demand
upon Congress that the brotherhoods forced last
week
The trainmen will get their increase. For
after all that is what the egtt-hour law amounts
to in the final analysis. But if every other
organized body, constituting a powerful political
factor, should make the same demands in the
same way, where would the halt be called?
The tendency of the times is toward organi-
zaton. 1t means the cutting down of overhead
costs, a diminution in the price of food and the
reduction in dollars and cents that wholesale
markets afford. Labor has recognized the trend
Of the times and bands together to secure its
demands.
The Sherman antitrust law prevents COM
binations in restraint Of trade 1t conceived
for the purpose Of preventing the sitting OF
honest competition. By its terms organized labor
is exempt from certain provisions that organized
capital must recognize
BY the force OF their numbers the railroad
brotherhoods have been successful in demands
that might have been modified if some debera-
tive and unprejudiced body had had the fullest
opportunity to investigate. By the same token,
they might have been extended and given greater
emoluments than even the representatives of the
brotherhoods demanded But that is not the
question The whole idea is that Congress under
impartial commission to determine whether
it is justified
Nobody begrudges labor all that it can secure
for honest effort. Nobody denies that labor
has advanced because Of the fact that it has or
ganized. But the most sincere friends OF
organized labor would hate to see it, drunk with
power, nsistent upon demands that are surely
torious but combinations Of employees never will
advance consistently if they adopt the same
methods that the brotherhoods employed.

The comedians of yesterday were a
great deal more irrepressible both off
and on the stage than those Of today.
]. l. Toole, for instance. went into a
postofice and asked for penny stamp.
The demure maiden behind the counter
brought out a big. fresh sheet of them.
Toole, however, was once very nearly
ment, and then said: ''Ill take that one"
and pointed to a stamp in the very mid
die OF the sheet
Toole, however, was onve very nearly
hoist with his own petard." He was
playing in THE Waterman" with Sims
Reeves, who took the part OF Tom Tug.
When Toole asked, What's the meaning
of all this?" Sims Reeves yielded to an
overwhelming temptation, and replied
THE meaning of it is that you've been
made tool of, and I'm a happy fell
low
Harry Kemple and Charles BrookfeId
once spoiled one OF Ellen Terry's tragic
moments. The famous actress was once
appearing in The Vicar Of Wakefield" in
which Kemple and Brookffeld. who were
in the company. did not take part
Just as the famous actress was work
ing up her great scene of remuneration,
she looked up and saw Brookfield and
Kemple being wheeled into the theater
in invalid chairs, like equity patients. The
chairs we're drawn up close to the stage,
and the 'invalids" began to wag their
heads and applaud. This was too much
for Ellen Terry. who broke down, and
laughed till the tears came
P. T. Barnum once made an excellent
advertisement out of a joke. When his
show came to San Francisco on one oc-
casion, Keene, the great American &C
tor, was playing Richard III" in the
town.
One night Keene had just mouthed the
words: "A horse! A horse! Ny kingdom
for horse!' when out of the wings came
strange quadruped-a living. skeleton
with broken knees, and striped all tho
cSlors of the rainbow.
Round the horses neck was a placard
with this legend in huge letters:
"How's this, sonny7-P. T. Barnum."-

The Auto for the Average Man.

When industrial establishment can roll up
profits of over 100000 a week, it is an indca-
ton of how the prosperity of the nation has ad-
vanced.
These stupendous profits accomplished
by the sale of popular priced automobile
something that up to few years ago was con-
sidered a luxury
1t takes no student of ancient history to re-
call when the up-to-date bicycle, catalogue at
$780, was beyond the reach of the average man.
Bicycles today are within the reach of the modest
wage Garner and hence do not have the attrae-
tions of pleasures just beyond his reach.
Who can say but that within another decade,
with efficiency in manufacture and the decreased
cost that stupendous demands bring about, the
automobile will have reached a level in price
where the average may have the Sunday
outing with his family, not in trolley, but in a
family automobile.

AFTER-DIllNER POLITICS
BY DIR. e. j. EDWARDS.
INAUGURAL ADDRESSES
WITHOUT NOTES

When Grover Cleveland took the
oath OF office as President Of the Unit
ed states. on MarS 4, 1885, he de-
livered the customary inaugural ad-
dress, but he held no manuscript notes
in his hand. The late Col Daniel 8
Lamont, who was Cleveland's private
secretary. told me that the President
had the manuscript of the address
in his coat pocket, but was confident
that be would be able to repeat It
word for word exactly as he wrote
it.
Cleveland had abundant reaSn for
this confidence" said Col Lamont
He possessed an extraordinary fac
ulty for almost mechanically or auto
matically committing to memory any
address he wrote after having read
the address or speech over once.
have been told that William H Sew
ard was also able after having writ
ten his speech to commit 1t to mem
ory by a single reading of It.
Cleveland was reputed to be the
first OF the Presidents to deliver an
inaugural address without notes, and
OF course that departure from prece-
dent caused much comment through
out the country. He did not hesitate
an instant and his manner of deliv-
cry was such as to suggest that he
was speaking eXtemporaneously. He
was a strong believer in the spoken
word delivered TO an audience directly
and without the interposition OF man
uscript."
A year or two after Col. Lamont thus
spoke OF President Cleveland's inaugural
address to me, I was informed by q
citizen Of Concord n, H. that Cleveland
was not the first President to deliver an
inaugural address directly TO the people
and from memory.
Thirty-two years before Cleveland thus
spoke without notes, Franklin Pierce de-
livered his inaugural address, speaking
directly to the vast audience which faced
him. He spoke with such ease having
well learned the art of modulating his
voice to open-air speaking that every
enc in the audience easily heard him. It
was the fret revelation many Of them
had that Pierce was really a fine orator
He, too. possessed that unusual mental
quality which enabled him TO commit to
memory any address he had written after
having read ie over in manuscript
Had William H. Seward been inaug-
turated President on March 4, 1861. In
stead OF Abraham Lincoln, he, too, in all
probability would have spoken directly
TO the people.
