GIANTS LEADER
TO RETIRE
SOON
John J. MCGraw Does Not Deny
That This is His Last
Year,

NEW YORK, Aug. John T. Nc
Graw. manager OF the Giants, had
New York fandom guessing today
when he was quoted as refusing to
deny a rumor that he might retire
from baseball at the end Of the sea-
son.
"Twenty-slx years Is a long time
to wear a uniform" said McGraw,
and sometimes I've a notion ia like
TO give it up. But nothing definite
has been settled yet"
McGraw has been actively engaged,
as player and team leader, ever since
he broke into fast company with the
famous Baltimore Orioles in 1893. In
other words, McGrow has grown gray
in the service Of organized baseball
and he believes he is entitled TO a
rest.
Since taking hold Of the Giants,
when they were owned by the late
Andrew Freeman, McGraw has man
aged pennant winning teams in 1904,
1905. 1911, 1912 and 1913, the
Giants capturing one worlds cham
pionship in 1905, when they beat
The Athletics in four out Of five
games. Led by McGraw, the Giants
made a fortune for the stockholders
of the New York club, and rc-estab-
lished the prestige and popularity OF
The National League in this city.

MOLASSES SPREADING
TRICK is OVERPLAYED

"Whcrc their platform fails utterly,
after vain striving, is to keep widely
apart the Republican party as a party,
and Governor Hatfield as Il distinct
personality set apart for consideration
as a private Individual, is an aim
which misses the mark. 1t is too
transparent what was sought to do,
Personally Governor Hatfield is not an
issue and cannot be made Il in this
campaign. He has his loyal friends
and has equally loyal enemies, Onic-
ially, however, both join very largely
in approving and accepting him as a
part of the party's most recent record.
The party handed him a platformNn
1912 and ordered him TO carry it out
when elected. He did. There isn't a
pledge in that document which hasn't
been fulfilled under him as governor,
II doing that is a fault, it is more Of
the party's fault than it is HatiicId's.
But there isn't a Republican Of just
and intelligent mind, no matter what
his individual opinions Of officials as
private citizens are, who will not stand
squarely 10y the party's accomplished
pledges as made in the 1872 platform,
Seek to argue with him that and he
will make a few verbal swings for the
jaw"

The course was laid out on an Arbor
day by the International order Of For
esters. It's at the old fair grounds,
where they used to have horse racing
along about the fourth year Of the re-
modelling of the court house, and they
have been careful to plant some OF the
greens where the track is nearest TO
perpendicular.
In some places the fairway is almost
four feet wide, while the average
width runs well over two feet.
When no rain has fallen for a month
the player will save himself a much
mental anguish by driving with a
putter.
Seven Of the greens are terribly fast.
The other two are faster, being made
of what was left over from the Third
street paving job.

out on their front stoops and laugh at
you.

(Parkersburg State Journal.)

(Parkersburg State Journal.)
According to reports received here.
and which may be confirmed by an
examination of the newspapers Of the
state, there is in certain quarters Of
West Virginia a serious epidemic of
measles in severe form. In Wheel
ing and other northern West Virginia
cities there are at the present time
many cases of measles and while in
no section has the situation been
alarming the spread Of the disease
has given the authorities elsewhere
no little concern.
The State Journal directs the atten-
ton OF our local authorities to this
situation. The communication be-
tween the northern tier cities is such
that the epidemic is very apt to be
communicated to this city to some
extent. The most rigid guarantees
should be enforced in the event it
makes its appearance. The medical
profession, the local authorities and
the public should cooperate to pre-
vent its dissemination. ,.-.uf
