McGraw has proved that he can
win a pennant with a crack batting
and fielding team. have no
hesitancy in saying that McGraw's
,twirling staff is the weakest that
ever has won a pennant in modern
baseball.
Since the expulsion of Phil
Douglas, Artie Nehf is the only
twirler on the staff who may be
listed as a star, and in the closing
days of the National League cam
paign, Nehf has been erratic and
unsteady. Jesse Barnes still occa-
sionally shows a flash Of brilliancy.
He was a bear in the worlds series
last fall and early in the season a
base on balls deprived him OF a per.
feet game against Philadelphia, but
Jesse Is a poor risk, he has three
bad days to one good one.
Ryan, McQuillan and Scott, COM
prising the balance of the regular"
staff, are as undependable as Barnes.
The fact remains, however, that
the Giants won National League
pennant with that staff, though il
must be admitted that the victories
won In the first half Of the season
by Douglas, the Outcast, helped
give the Giants a reserve Of VIC
tories, which helped protect the
New York lead against Pitts
burgh's eleventh hour rush.
Can the Giants, with their 1908
hitting team, bat their way to a
worlds series victory against the
superior pitching of the Yankees?
There Is no doubt that the Yankees
have the call, but one Of the beauties
of worlds series competition Is that
" q team picked as the underdog fire.
lQuently kicks the dopesters right in
the stats.
y Another thing to be considered is
that the Giants will enter the series
with the knowledge that they have
already licked the Yankees, which
may inspire the confidence that thoy
can do 1t again. After a fistic cham
pion has layed low a contender, lie
always has a strong psychological
advantage when a return match is
put on. The same is true, to
certain extent in baseball.
e. Every time the Yankees and
Giants have clashed, victory has
gone to the National Leaguers. Nc.
Graw won the New York city series
Of 1910 and 1914, and the worlds
series of last season. In Chicago,
precedent Is so strong, that the
: White Sox, with any kind Of club,

the Cubs.
Because Of the feeble Giant pitch.
Ing, we would call IL poor club on
the defense, but solely in the pitch
ing end OF 1t. There is no finer
fielding club in baseball than the
Giants, especially when it comes to
infield play. .,
( Critics, who have followed the
Giants all year, often have wondered
fwhar the Giant pitching would have
been with second division team
behind it. That crack infield of
Groh, Bancroft, Frisch and Kelly
will kill off two to three hits a game,

The Roll Call
IAN Editorial By Chairman John Borton
Paune in the Red Cross Conrierl

(An Editorial By Chairman John Barton
Payne, in the Red Cross Courier)
The circumstances in the midst of
which the Roll Call opens this year
are themselves the logic for our ap-
peal. At the very moment when we
thought we had completed our work
overseas and were turning to the wider
development of our program at home
the sudden call of emergency from the
Near East reminds us--both in its un-
expectedness and in its probable di-
mensions-of the tense days of our war
service. We have answered the sum-
mons, and almost from the moment that
the call came Red Cross relief was on
it's way.
In the present condition of the world
no one is wise enough TO foresee the
future nor to picture the possibilities
that may develop. Because of this, the
Red Cross must be kept in position
of constant readiness. Thnt can be
done only by means of large. constant

A Mechanical Diogenes

If the detective complex is as
strong in human nature as the Inter
borough Rapid Transit Company ap-
pears to believe, the new thief-de-
tecting turnstiles will save it large
sums Of money annually. But the
success of the machines depends
upon the cooperation of the public
And whether strap-hanger's stand
ard of honesty includes a sense of re-
sponsibility for the honesty of his
neighbor remains to be proved.
The new attachment to the now
familiar mechanical fare collectors
flashes on mirror a picture of
every coin dropped into the slot. II
the coin is round, fair nickel he

train-nay behold, and know that
the incoming passenger is doing the
right thing. If it is a cheap metal
slug he will know that a thief is
about to steal a ride, and can, If he
chooses, raise the hue and cry.
Whether he will do so or not is a
question. There are men and women
who would scorn personal dishonesty
who think no shame to see small
hey lifting apples from fruit stand
and hold their peace. In every thief
chase portion of the crowd always
hopes that the fugitive will get away
from the policeman.
There is in human nature deep
yearning for the achievements of
Sherlock Holmes; else fake detective
agencies could not sell so many tin
stars. But whether the new devices
will be aided and abetted by stern
determination on the part of the
public to prevent fraud by ones
neighbors on transit company is
question that can be better answered
after the experiment has been tried
few months.

Dewey's Flagship by No Means at
the Bottom of the Sea
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In reading an article in to-
days Tribune regarding the Naval Ex-
position at the Grand Central Palace
noted the following:
Torpedo boat destroyers, SUBJ
marines, oil tankers, passenger
ships, colliers and freighters cross
the bows of square riggers, schoon-
ers and clippers Of olden times.
Admiral Dewey's flagship of Manila
Bay fame is now at the bottom Of the
sea as result of a collision during
the great war. but her replica is on
exhibit at the marine show.~
Indeed, it was quite surprise to
learn that "Dewey's flagship Of Manila
Bay fame" is at tho bottom OF the
sea. for only this past summer
Dewey's flagship, the Olympia, was
one Of the ships that composed the
midshipmen's practice cruise, and,
surely, "Dewey's flagship Of Manila
Bay fame" acted quite lively in cover.
ing over 5000 miles during the cruise.
And, further, is often headed the
squadron, consisting of tho u. S. s.
Florida, flagship; U. s. S. Delaware
and U. S. S. North Dakota, in forma-
tion. In fact, while the midshipmen's
squadron was stationed at Halifax the
early part OF last August. the Ameri-
can ship that went to tho rescue Of
the Fl. M. S. Raleigh, when the latter
wens aground of Belle Isle, Newfound-
land, was "Dewey's flagship Of Manila
Bay"
On the 31st Of August, when the
cruise ended, che Olympia proceeded
TO Philadelphia, where she was put "out
Of commission" Though the Navy
Department discontinued the use OF
the Olympia in the service, the ship will
be kept by our government as long
as it will float, or as long as Mrs.
Dewey lives, to fulfill dying wish Of
the great hero Of Manila Bay.

Tampering With Economic Law

The effort Of American farmers
to attain the millennium or there
abouts through the passage OF the
grain futures act, under which spec
ulation will be carried on with di-
rect governmental supervision, is
now being subjected to the search
ing analysis of the Federal courts,
which have stayed the operation Of
the new law in Minneapolis and
Chicago until it's constitutionality
shall be determined. The new meas.
ure re-enacted the economic prin-
cil,ies of the Capper-Tincher law,
which the Supreme Court declared
outside the constitutional powers of
Congress. The earlier law rested
for its validity on the right Of Con-
gress to tax. The new measure.
virtually identical III intent, is based
ron the broader right Of the national
lawmaking body to regulate inter-
state commerce. Thus the contro-
versy is focusing on legal techni-
calities instead of essential economic
considerations.
As we envisage it the fundamen-
tai issue is not on what basis Con-
gress may regulate grain specula-
tion but rather whether the partir.
ular kind of supervision intended is
desirable from the standpoint ofpub
lie policy. The real criteria should
be. first, would the grain futures act
radically interfere with hedging, by
which nlillers eliminate speculative
risks in connection with the future
prices of wheat, and, secondly,
would it impair the function by
which future changes in supply and
demand are anticipated and the
changes in quotations made gradual,
instead of precipitate? These ar.
technical questions that cannot ae
answered with fnality except
through the test Of experience.
When the original basic bill
drawn by Representative Tincher
was the subject of Congressional
hearings spokesman for the ex-
changes were not unfriendly toward
some of the provisions, especially
those relating to the dissemination
of false rumors and the collection Of
data. However, the present prepon-
derant weight of opinion among of
ficials of the exchanges is that the
act as it stands will interfere with
the fullest usefulness of organized
speculation in the grains. On the
other hand. independent vtraa'-+s

Josh VS.. Jaundice

M. Clemenceau remarks upon his
advantage in being able to speak
English. Even more important is
the fact that he speaks American
not the slang of America, but it's
idiom of thought, especially the trick
of approaching the most solemn sub
ject with a jest, so grievously irri-
tating to our solemn British rela.
tives across the sea.
Josh is the hallowed American
term for the kind of talk we have in
mind. It is a sacred part of the ma
t'cnal habit, flavoring our whole
philosophy. 1t is not a sauce of wit
roured over serious dish; it is a
seasoning cooked into the substance
of our thought.
Now, the French are more seri-
GUS people than the joshing Yam
KEGS. They never can quite under
stand why we laugh so much.
wherever, by the way, did origi-
nate that notion of the French as
frivolous people?) But they share
enough of the American lightness of
touch toward life in general to COM
prehend Americans sympathetically.
Here is small item of character,
perhaps, but it probably accounts
for much Of the understanding
that exists between Americans and
French, let the diplomats rave as
they may.
What M. Clemenceau possesses in
the way of wit is SO closely akin to
our American joshing that it might
be it's own brother. 1t has sharper
edge, it is swifter and keener, not
quite as gentle and good-natured.
Its purpose is much the same, to
keep ones bearings and ones sense
of humor, no matter what grave af-
fairs overhang.
Goodness knows, the whole world
needs it's sense of humor these days
as never before. The more of it
Papa Clemenceau can restore to a
jaundiced universe the better.

PaaLa ~J G. Ed By Frederic r. Fan de Wau
41VO(o u1tu 0U A,OfM ~

rHIEF Of our troubles in attempting
to write about books is the un-
avoidable truth that we don't know
anything about them. 1t is not the
pablo display of our ignorance that we
deplore. After having exhibited it In
enc form or another for thirty odd
years we have become sort of calloused
and shameless. But we do bemoan the
fact that we are a sufferer from liter
ary color-blindness, because this mis-
fortune makes just that much more
work for US.
We read a book and it makes US yawn
OR smile or thrill or get sore. And
after we have spent paragraph or so
in informing an Indifferent public that
VIC think it's a good book or bad book
we have exhausted our topic. We can't
declaim on the structural faults of the
plot, for we don't.know anything about
plot building. We can't wax eloquent
over its delicate character depletion or
its mastery style because it's three
to-one shot that we'll go completely
wrong if we try. All we can do is blurt
that we like the book or don't like it
and then gasp and grunt and fall back
upon the weather as topic of CONVEX
sation.
Meanwhile the real critics are soar
ing aloft on the wings of sapience, do
ing barrel rolls and Immelmann turns
and tail spins in the rarefed atmo-
sphere far above us, and we sit on the
ground, mouth open, marveling duly.
Consider the following, which has filled
cur bosom with envy and draped our
soul in humility:

Governor Miller's Two Years

To The Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial to-day on
"Mr. Smiths Victory" you say that
the fact of our next Governor being
known throughout the length and
breadth of the state as AL vent
further than anything else toward his
election. This, it seems TO me, is q
wrong conclusion. The two candidates
stood on entirely different platforms.
Reverse the men, the result would have
been the same.
Instead Of mourning over yesterdays
defeat we should rejoice that we had
a man like Governor Miller in Albany
for two years. His administration
will be a beacon light to those who
understand the serious, sacred mean
ing and full use of freedom for a ma
tion. Governor Miller's two years Of
service will be rich legacy TO the
Empire State.
