steady game and 1t was his deadly

Graw, "and / really mean that.

II am going to give our young
pitchers every possible oppor-

the 1924 season without making
the many pitching shifts which I
was called upon to make in 1922
and 1923. It will be some relief
to be able to sit on the bench
occasionally and watch a pitcher
go through nine innings"
Between the lines may be found
the reason for McGraw's success.
He likes the cocky, confident
athlete. He hasn't the slightest
hesitation about scrapping an an
cient club to make a new one.
He has finished last, but not
twice in succession. When he
finds his club missing, he gets
busy. He drops the dull, me-
chanical player, replacing him
with some younger, more active
and more enthusiastic player.
The results have always been
satisfactory, the Giants bounding
from the bottom to the top.
II am off a youngster as soon
as recognize that this is his
mental attitude on the game"

player who figures he "hasn't
got a chance" And this same

TT Is quite within reason that
this situation exists at Tampa
right now, especially if the
candidates are getting Washing
ton newspapers. It seems to be
a style among war correspondents
to take three or five peeks at a
candidate and dash off a few
lines describing his chances Of
landing regular berth. For in
stance, we recently read the dope
from Tampa which said that Joe
Martina would hardly land a job,
though when that paragraph was
written Martina had not yet
donned a Washington uniform.

Yes, it sure would be interesting,

er's reply, almost knocking the
promoter off his feet.
Richard then got in touch with
the former titleholder and Wilson's
reply was a bit different. He
said he'd tackle Berlenbach, "but
not before May"
Wilson, as champion, was noted
for his extreme cautiousness,
which may explain the fact that
he is not now the titleholder.

Shopland stepped out of the taxicab
and, raising his hat, walked quietly
away. Francis directed the man TO
drive to Charges street. AS they
drove off. he was conscious Of a fold
ed piece of paper in the corner where
his late companion had been, seated.
He picked it up, opened it. realized
that 1t was a letter from a firm Of
lawyers. addressed to Shopland. and
deliberately read It through. 1t was
dated from a small town not far from
Hatch End:
Dear Sir:

Shopland stepped back.

RECREATION SURVEY
Will Take Three Years to Complete; Coolidge Sends Renewed Assur- ances of His Support.

Washington, Dec. 12.-More de- tailed formulation of the program agreed upon for a three year survey of the recreational facilities of the country and the possibilities of their extension occupied the concluding sessions here today of the meeting of the advisory council of the natlon- al conference on outdoor recreation.
 The program also includes an ad- dress by Theodore Roosevelt and consideration of numerous commit tee reports, two Of these dealing with bylaws and program of work. &c., lection of a date for the next annual meeting of the conference and action on the applications of new organiza- tions for membership were other matters to be disposed of.
 President Coolidge, who called the national conference on outdoor rec reation into existence last May, yes- terday sent renewed assuracnes of his interest in its work. Secretary Hoover personally pledged the CO., operation of the government and Ell hu Root sent a message to the meet ing holding up the influences of out doors recreation as the greatest safe- guard against moral and intellectual decadence.
