- Ohm MGRAW, who is one OF the
most aggressive managers That
baseball has ever seen, believes
that one OF the biggest assets a man
ager can have is gameness.
Well, McGraw is game. there is no
doubt Of that, in the face Of troubles
in which he has figured. and he is
also a very successful pilot. Here is
what he has to say regarding game

Young Charlie
Mitchell Is Dead

. Followers Of boxing
in this country viii no
doubt regret to hear Of
the death OF Charlie
aIitchell's son, Young
Charlie, jr. who was
killed in action in
France during the past
month
About 20 years ago,
Charlie Mitchell, who at
that time was consid-
cred the boxing cham
pion Of England, put in
a great deal of his time
in this country and
made a legion OF friends
by his clever work in
the ring
Mitchell scaled only
about 154 pounds, but
he gave John L Sullivan
one of the hardest
battles OF his career
when he fought him SO
rounds TO a draw in
France Mitchell also
had the reputation of
being the first and only
man TO knock Sullivan
flat, which occurred in
Madison Square Garden,
New York city. during a
four round contest.

M baseball, and the principle upon

when the Baltimore Feds withdrew

selves realize the necessity of such
clause and have willingly signed
contracts containing it for years,
simply because they know II is the
foundation of the game.
Without the reserve clause leagues
and clubs would soon be forced TO the
wall because Of the fact that club
owners who would spend the greatest
amount Of money could soon corral
all the best talent and leave others
out in the cold One sided pennant
races would be the result, and the
foundation would drop from beneath
