M'GRAW SATISFIED
 WITH HIS PITCHERS
Giants Leader Pins Hopes Tor
 Pepnant in 1919 Corps

Now York. Nov. 22.-John McGT&W, 1 manacer of the Giants, says that ms pitching staff during August I'l'' 1 was the greatest he ever has com 1 n1andcd There was no MatheWSoh on the staff, but there were i've men, each of them Q star of the hrSt mag ni1udc. Even Moran's high class quin jet of E.ller, Ring, Euether, Sallee and Fisher could not obtain precedence over Fred Toney, Jesse Barnes. Ar tic Nehff. Rubc Benton and Phil Dou- glas
 While Douslas is d fellow who is likely to break out at any moment one cannot deny his natural ability. With the possible exception of Wal ter Johnson and Grover Alexander no pitchers in baseball have been equip ped by nature with g better pitching physique than Douglas. Those big, hulking shoulders enable him to servo the ball with d measure of speed that few pitchers can generate.
 1t is with this staff that McGraw intends to open the 1920 season, and it now is his intention to build up @ team which will be worthy of such pitchers.
 Prior to the end of the 1919 cam paign the greatest pitching staff that inc Giants ever possessed was that of the champions of 1904 and 1905. Though McGraw's later champions had more pitching stars than this carly aggregation no Giant pitching pair ever had the success or ever could be depended on to the extent Of Mathewson and McGinnity.
 Big Six in those early years was just in his prime, while McGinnity, who reached his crest much later in life than Matty, also was at the height of his career It was in those years that the fans used to come out to see the youthful college wonder, Ma thewson, while McGinnity was ac- quiring national fame as an iron man by pitching double-heade regularly.

HAS kAYOED ONLY X FEW.
Yet Johnny Dundee is a Hard Punch
 CT Who Never Stalls.

Johnny Dundee's recent knockout |victory over Tommy Tuohey was |something of an event in the Italian s |boxing career. Although Dundee has been a topnotcher for seven or eight wears during which he has fought hundreds of bouts, his list of knock outs could be tolied off on the thumb and fingers of one hand before the
 affair in question. Since 1911 Dun dee has stopped the following men: Ty Cobb, one round; Jack White, nine rounds; Young Drummie, two rounds: Johnny O'Leary, nine rounds
 Jimmy Powers ten rounds, and Tom
 my Tuohey. five rounds.
 Despite his lack of effectiveness Dundee never has been accused of
 stalling, and he is more of a slugger
 than a fancy boxer. Most of lis blows are of the swinging type and he puts all his strength behind e@oh wallop he lets fly.

1.-The enforcement of war prohibition
has no relation whatever 10 the coilec-
ton of the revenue, and law which Is
exclusively Of police character would
certainly cOmplicate. il it would not en-
danger the effective administration OF the
tax laws.
II think that should draw this view
point to the particular attention OF the
committee. in order that it may be fully
advised as to just what the addition OF
this responsibility to the bureau or in
tcrnal revenue means.
IF the committee. regardless OF the
facts stated above. should decide q
place the enforcement fthis law IN
the internal revenue bureau. the depart
meut would be interested in seeing 4
law passed that would be effective IN
carving out the Intention OF the con-
gross. Furthermore. If war PROHIBITION
is to be effective as Of July /. 1878.
