STANDARD LOWER

Manager John McGraw Of the
Giants, who knows his baseball stuff
says the players are on the decline
High salaries, automobiles and nu-
mcrous other diversions are held re-
sponsible by the leader Of the Giants,
In all other respects McGraw be-
lieves the game has progressed. The
parks are better and the accommo-
|, dations for spectators and players
much improved.
am inclined to think that Nc
Graw is correct in his observations
Over period of 20 years of umpiring
it is obvious to me that the standard
of play of today is not equal to that
Of Is years ago.
The old players really loved the
game more than the modern athletes
In other words the chance to play
was about as welcome as the salary
The love of the game, the fighting
spirit, is what makes all college
sports. There is no question but that
college football has more Of the old
fight. fight stuff than the pro brand
PLAYERS DECLINE
McGraw also makes another very
interesting statement. He says the
dumb player is always dumb. You
cant. get it out Of them.
