SPORTING NEWS
STARS OF the WORLDS SERIES
LEWIS G. MCCARTHY.
New York talan,a)

John Mct;raw and a million or 30
other Giant rooters opino that Lurtd
Lew McCarty carries the class OF the
National league backstops when he
dons his wind-pad and shin guards.
But twas not always thus.
Five years ago the Newark bugs
wanted McCarty sold. traded or cam
ned. they didn't care which. That was
because big Mac wasn't hitting the
ball. He finished the season with u
clouting mark OF only .lS2 for 81
games. The same fans, however,
changed their opinions the following
year. For Lew pasted the old onion
for an average of 1853 and they called
him the best catcher this side Of Mars
and to prove 1t, the management sold
him to Brooklyn.
II McCarty's showing last year is a
sample Of his real form. then the
Giants have II of the best catchers
who ever busted q finger. He hit .339
in 80 games, handled both the Brook
lyn and Giants twirlers with rare
judgment Inc skill. turned back q
flock of speed merchants on the bases
and by his mastery all round back
lars.
This big receiver first attracted at
tention when he played semi-profes-
sional ball with Danville, Pa, in 1909.
He was rated then as an average
catcher with a good whip and an I'M
usually long hitter. In 1910 the Ian
caster club signed him and McCarty
continued his smuggling to such an ex-
tent that the rattle Of his war club
was heard way over in Newark. He
started with the latter club in 1911,
was sold to Brooklyn in 1913 and
last year, during the heat Of the pen
nant race, the Dodgers traded him to
New York for Merkle.
The only excuse for tho act, from
Brooklyn's viewpoint, lay in the fact
that Daubert was injured and 1t was
imperative that the Dodgers get an
experienced first sacker Immediately
AS far as baseball value is concern
ed, the trade was a crime. Merkle was
a slipping player and McCarty was
coming ! a house-a-fire. If McGraw
could make a trade like that every
day he'd soon own the National
league, including the umpires and
peanut privileges.
McCarty is a Giant in fact as well
as in name. He is 5 feet II 1-2 inches
tall, weighs 1870 pounds, and hasn't
an ounce Of superfuous fish on his
large frame. After being out a great
part of the season with a fractured
ankle, he returned to the game re-
Gently in apparently good shape,
which, if true, is welcome news to the
Giant rooters.
While McCarty is a really high
class backstop, Schalk has 1t on him
in defensive work. The latter is much
faster, has as good a throwing arm

MIRACLE MEN
COME TO GRIEF
fEd A. eoewey in Leslie,s.)

(Ed A.. Goewey in Leslie's.)
When, in 1914, George stallings
piloted the Boston Braves from the
tail-end of the National league pro-
cession to the van of that organiza-
ton. and directed their endeavors
when they captured the worlds cham
pionship in four straight games, all
fandom hailed him as baseball's
Miracle Man." At the same time
they gave due credit to Fred Mitchell
who coached stallings' young men.
Last winter this combination split,
Stallings remaining with the Boston
team and his adviser taking up the
burden of handling the Chicago Cubs.
There were some who. believed that
Mitchell possessed a keener insight
into the inner workings Of the ma
tional pastime which made him the
more valuable Of the pair, and these
prOp1esied that he was more than
likely to have his new charges repeat
the successes of the Braves.
But prophecy is one thing and full
flment another. Both men probably
worked hard throughout the season
now nearing its end, but neither has
accomplished anything Of moment.

Entente Frightfulness
(From Kansas City Starr

ASy oS~A
The German newspapers are warn
ing their readers to look out. A con-
spiracy is afoot among the entente
countries, headed by President Wilson,
to drive a wedge between the emper-
or and the people," This species of
frightfulness, which violates every
principle of civilized warfare, must be
stopped somehow. Let every German,
therefore, rally to the side Of the
kaiser and show the enemy in the
most unmistakable manne that this
cruel rending Of tender ties never
will be permitted.
Rather than submit to it Germany
herself will resort to f~rightfulness.
The entente countries must UNDER
stand that The kaiser and his people
just will not be separated and live.
That is, the kaiser wouldn't live-he
couldn't. They are the only people
he has. He was brought up from a
boy to stick to them and he never,
never will desert them. They know
it, or ought to. They know that moth
ing could induce him to leave them
interests bind them as closely to him
Where could they get another kaiser
who would lead them to so much
glory as they now are tasting? With
out him they would have to leave the
pleasant land Of France, where they
are now so comfortably situated, and
go back to the monotony Of domestic
life with wife and children, three
meals a%day and an evening pipe with
music in the park. !
How could they live thus kaiserless;
Who would tell them what to do and
how to do it? What to read, what tc
think, what songs to sing, what coun.
tries to hate, what neighbours land tc
covet, and whom to salute and get of
the sidewalk for?
If this is what the war has come
to. civilization 4may as well throw of
the mask and make war as war wal
in times Of barbarism-let it pillage
and burn, destroy churches, kill WON.
en- and children. deport civil popula.
lions Inc rend even the fruitful earth
in its fury. Better that than tear 9
devoted kaiser from the arms of hi
trusting and helpless people and leave
them with nobody to care for but
themselves ard thei~ families.
