AggreSSiVeneSS Is Absent
and Pitching Is of
Weird Brand.
By GRANTLAND RICE.

John J. McGraw exploded twenty
eight tons of guncotton under the Ma
tional League race yesterday afternoon
when he quit the field in the fifth IN
ming at Ebbets Park, disguised at the
work of his club.
The Giant leaders openly expressed
disgust, in our opinion, was pretty well
justified.
While the Braves were crashing into
the Phillies at top speed and playing
out the game as the game should be
plaved. the Giants were curling up
badly against the new pennant win
ners, making no part Of an effort TO go
out and fight.
II was not so much matter Of mis-
PLAYS. errors and basehits. The charge
to be brought against the record hold
ers was the mental attitude OF the
team, the careless, listless, sllpshod,
don't-give- a-hang attitude all through
the game with a pennant at stake. kr.
rors' basehits and wild pitches are all
a part of baseball But loafing on the
Job isn't
Took Things Easily.
Yesterdays schedule was a critical
spot in the National League race: The
Braves, by winning game on Monday
and mailing the first game on Tuesday
had already shown they were giving the
Phillies the best they had TO give. In
place of putting up the same sort OF
fight. of carrying on the war TO finish,
the Giants looked to be out for romp,
for in any number of cases they failed
TO hustle as much as they would IN an
exhibition game.
There was no sign Of the old Giant
aggressiveness at any stage. The
pitching especially was atroclous, in the
sense that it wasn't Of the deadly earn
est type, but rather Of the let-em-hit-it
type. This Giant exhibition was no
fault of Brooklyn's. The Robins were
out to win, and they would probably
have won anyway. They had already
beaten the Giants 10 out Of 20 games.
This is a sufficient test, sufficient

not move that the convention endorse
Grocer Seminary; for such a motion
would be a work Of supererOgation.
This noble school OF the prophets Is
not in need of endorsement For a
Baptist convention to endorse Grocer
Seminary would be as silly as for
such a convention to endorse the
Baptist denomination.
The motion was seconded by the
pastor OF one. OF the leading Baptist
churches, but not a graduate of Grocer
he being an alumnus of another OF
our seminaries. Then two brethren
opposed the motion. One. that our
churches should not be saddled with
this additional expense The objec-
ton was absurd. because no church
was obligated by the motion to con.
tribute even one dollar of the sixty.
The motion vas simply the express
sion of a desire TO make a gift TO an
institution that has been. for years,
the greatest single factor in the
spread Of our cause in this section of
the country. Grocer is highly en-
dowed, and is not going around with
its hat in its hand. The other objec-
toner contended that this motion
should no pass-because the Semin-
airy in question did not teach the Cos
