McGraw Sixteen Years
 Pilot of the Giants

John J. McGraw will celebrate to- day the sixteenth anniversary of his accession to the throne of king of the New York Giants. The scrappy pilot of the big town boys began his managerial career in New York on July 19, 1902.
 When the Little Napoleon had the Giants wished on him they were last in the league by the safe margin of fourteen games. They remained in the cellar the remainder of that sea- son, but under his management the joke team, augmented by McGraw' S former Baltimore teammates, Bresna- han, Cronin, McGinnity and McGann, won half the games.
 The next year the Giants finished second, in 1904 they copped the pen nant, repeated in 1905. and never since have finished out of the first di- vision.
 Incidentally, since McGraw took charge, the United States hints have had to work nights to supply enough coin to pour into the coffers of the owners of the Giants. And incl dentally too, John gets a salary oi something like $5e,o00 per annum which isn't so bad in these days o: high prices for ham and beans.

EIGHT MEN LEFT
 IN TENNIS MATCHES

Utica, July 19-Eight men survived yesterdays play in the singles of the annual New York State championship tournament. The survivors are Fred Anderson, Jr., Seiichiro Kashio, liar old L. Taylor, Fred Anderson, sr., Ward Dawson of the Pelham Bay Ma val Station, T. c. Fulton of Seattle, R. L James of Saratoga and Frank T. Anderson, Jr., metropolitan, North Side and Long Island champion. This gives New York city six out of the remaining contestants.
 The favorites came through in sev- eral instances by the barest of mar gins, and for time it looked as though all the dope" would be upset by players who were not figured to have much of a chance in the quest for the title held by Ichiya Kumagae of Japan who will defend his cham p1onship in the challenge round Saturday.

 F. B. Hawley and P. L. Miller de- feated NJ. Wheeler and L. Strandt in a close contest. Strandt made a fine showing considering he hasn't played for About twenty years" while his partner Wheeler showed fine form and bids fair to finish near the top when it comes to singles match.
 H. E. Andrews and R. ". Young met their Waterloo when the got up against Dr. G. c. Brown and W. E.. Davenport.
 c. Bennett and Edw. O'Neil turned out to be a fast pair and surprised Geo. Foster and J. M. Kicker by de- feating them two straight. Kicker travelled some and played a very spectacular game. Foster played a good game and we look for some fast work from him when he gets into shape.
 A. Allison and F. Greenstein played we'll together ard defeated P. Buech- | Ter and R. E. Grasson. Buechler Is another man who we expect to make mark for himself when it comes to singles.

was an Australian, and won the name of Shadow" by his cleverness. If he had possessed a punch Maber would have been a star in the ring. He whipped Danny Needham, the fa' nous Minneapolis welterweight, in a hirty-five-reund battle at Butte in 1893. In 1895 Maber was matched to fight Kid Mccoy ten rounds in Memphis. The Australian was a big favorite, but the Hoesier proved his superior in cleverness and got the decision. In 1896 Maber was de- feated in nine rounds by Tommy Ryan and his reputation began to wane. Before coming to America Maber had been knocked out by his fellow Australian, George Dawson Maber mysteriously disappeared sev eral years ago, and it is said that an inheritance awaits him if he ever turns up.

the country, large quantities of fin

it has been impossible to supply their
necessities on account of war re-
quirements, and these will commence
to buy as soon as it is practicable, so
that large increase in operations
may be expected. Extensions and
new constructions which have neces-
sarily been postponed for a lack Of
material will be taken up.
"And with all this is connected the
thought that as net result of the
war, the volume of cash and cash re-
sources has been increased in a
marked degree and will be expended
for the purpose of expansion and de-,
velopment in this rich and growing
country. The circulation of money
is considerably larger than it was at
the beginning of the war.
GAS general proposition it is
still true that the opimist who keeps
within the limis of cash or stable
cash resources will succeed. For the
long future we have reason to believe
that the country will be more pro-
gressive and more prosperous than
ever before. It remains for all who
have been permitted to survive the
horrors of war to enter upon the
new era with a united and fraternal
spirit, and fixed purpose to profit
by the experiences of the past and to
aid in the establishment of a per-
manent basis of peace and prosper

ascertained conditions. The de-
ficiencies and requirements Of both
capital and labor will be protected
and rewarded. Employers will lead
in the effort to promote the welfare
Of their workmen.
Cooperation will be seen on
every hand. Capital and labor will
continue to cooperate with govern
mental administration and the latter
will reciprocate in every practical
and proper manner. This spirit has
been exhibited in marked degree
in this country and other countries
during the last four years, and it's
benefits have been demonstrated so
clearly hat they will not permit re-
turn to the methods of destructive
competition.
GAS to the volume of business to
be offered during the next few
months or years, none can predict
accurately but there are reasons to
suppose it will be large. The Cow
eminent will continue to be large
purchaser at reasonable prices for
the finishing of incompleted projects
and others contemplated for the
changes which will be incidental to
a peace basis. In this connection
it will be observed that the war in
dustries board and other govern
mental departments already are con-
sidering methods for assisting in
the reimbursement of business without
serious disturbances or injury to
general conditions.
Besides, there has been in all
lines of trade an accumulation of
orders which to large degree at
least, will be placed so soon as the
supply may justify. And in order
to refill empty warehouses through

finished materials will be required.
