AlDemaree Is Most
Consistent Winner
of McGraw's Clan

New York, Aug. Al Demaree
has been the most consistent winner
of the Giants pitchers this year
Demaree has not only made a good
mark in the pitching averages this
season, but he has been winning
his games against the best clubs in
the league.
When John McGraw recalled Dem
aree. many fans wondered how the
Giants could use him. In 1915, pitch
ing for Philadelphia, he IVES six
teenth in the league, and that was his
best season. He only worked in
games against the weaker teams of
the league. Last year he played part
of the season with Chicago. finished
with New York. and narrowly es-
capped the ALSO ran column.
When the season started this year
McGraw was short of dependable
pitching material Ferdy Schupp
was practically out OF the game, and
slim Sallee was not in condition.
JEFF Tesreau turned out bad, and Nc
Graw was forced to depend largely
cruit material.
| AL was then given the first real
chance of his major league career. He
took his regular turn in the box
against all corners and his turn came
much more often than IL ever had be-
fore.
Den1aree conquered his old failing
of giving way in the sixth or sew
enth frame He has been holding up
fine and hurting much better brand
OF ball than ever before.

Stacking the Great American Thirst
When the wiser ones among the
brewers first began warning their
less comprehensive fellows that the
sections in which alcoholic artdity pre-
vailed were likely to increase in num-
Der constantly and urged them 20 begin
safeguarding their properties by turn
ing to the manufacture of things other
than alcoholic liquors, the argument
was advanced that many brewers felt
an aversion to make soft drinks" be-
cause their manufacture did not re-
Quire scientific training and technical
knowledge and that the many years
spent BY the brewers in perfecting
themselves in their art" would be
completely lost. This argument was
waived aside by the wiser ones as un
tenable. and the DIRECTORS we're urged
to apply the same care and scientific
methods to making t e m p err a C q
drinks" And the advice has been fol-
lowed with the result that practically
all of the newer soft drinks" on the
