M'Graw Says Murray's Catch in 1912
Most Spectacular He Has Ever Seen

against the storm clouds swooping
down. He wound up. The batter
lunged. He met the ball, it flash
ed toward the darkness of right
center.
"The runners Oh those bases

McGraw as he sat back in his
chair in the Giants business Of
flee reminiscing. "Mattys head
dropped.
suddenly there came the terri
fic crash of a bolt of lightning. 1t
lit up the field, and there, out
lined against the zig-zag flame,
his face contorted. leaping high
into the air, was our rightfielder.
Red Murray, the ball just settling
into his glove.
And that, sighed John McGraw,
was the greatest and most dra-
matte play he ever saw on a base
ball diamond.
Wandering back over the years
with the most colorful leader in
baseball history. you feel nothing
but wonder that the white
haired. gentlemanly. soft-spoken
man of 60 who sits so contented-
ly in the business offices now
could have generated in his hey
day the turbulence and lust of
battle for which he was famous.
When a decision was close, and
the umpire hesitated or ruled
against him, there would come
that human bolt from the bench,
McGraw. Out of the dugout
would pour the bench warmers, a
phalanx about him, while his
warriors stormed in from the field
to shout at his side.

pension. while creating the i'm
preston that murder was about to
be done.

Lots of DOughnut
From New York World telegram

From New York World Teegram)
We wish there weren't so many people who make
hard times harder than they are.
We mean people with good, reasonably secure
jobs who nevertheless go around with long faces
and tied-up pocketbooks, talking fear and worry
to their friends
We are not SO foolish as to think this depression
be whstled away But we like the whistlers
better than the gloom spreaders.
Take this big, busy city at the present moment.
Does it look like the morgue some folks would have
us believe it?
Not by a long shot!
vast majority of New York workers still are on
the job from morning till night, earning fair pay,
eating three square meals day, paying rent and
buying clothes for themselves and their families
with something left over to spend in minor uxuries
and the movies.
At least 2,4000C0 such persons are at work in the
city today, not only maintaining themselves but pro-
viding steady jobs and profits for others here and
elsewhere.
Among them are 4O,59O telephone employees, earn
ing some $75,ooo0oO year; 10000 men employed in
trucking and hauling the huge quantities of goods
that fow to ana from this great CENTER thousands
more selling $10o000C00O worth of food year from
New Yorks 10000 food stores And dozen other
major groups.
Take look at the jam of trucks in the market
district any busy hour these days. Would you say
New York was starving or stntng itself? If YOU
didn't know about depression" could you spot many
signs of it there or the crowds in the shopping
sections at big athletic events?
Too many of us have sumped into habit of
exaggerating bad times of waiting paralyzed for the
boom days OF 1923 to come back and galvanze us.
What we need is more of the spirit of a local
corporation head, who said the other day some
thing like this
I am sick OF sitting back and waiting for normal
times. am going to treat this present time as nor
mal-adiusting expenses, prices, organization, etc.,
accordipgly-and go ahead
Then if things get better it will be all to the
good. But calling present conditions abnormal and
waing and waiting for them to change will move
nowhere"
Wages are being cut? Well, so are prices-from
groceries to steamship travel Never were more genu
inc bargains offered to people with courage eno,ph
to take advantage of them
Fixing mournful gaze on the hole in the dough-
nut only makes the hole look bigger. There's a lot
left besides the hole. And nowhere has the public
more reason to realize it than in this very much
alive anything but-stagnating city,
Don't feed depression with exaggeration.
This Is not whistllng, but sense.

This Deserves an Answer

Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general secretary OF the
Methodist board of temperance prohibition and public
morals says in an interview:
IT have no prejudice against referring any subject
Of Importance in the Constitution out of it, to the
people Whenever the vets can agree to put up
substitute which they think better than prohibition
for one will be in favor of letting them have vote
on the subject and help them get it.
1--WE will not favor referendum to vote ourselves
overheard . If the opposition can agree on what
they want we would have a chance to look it over
and vote for that or for prohibition"
That's fine. 1t is an attitude of mind worthy of
careful consideration by wet leaders 1t reflects again
the mental processes Dr. Wilson seems to have been
employing of late.
A great many good citizens honestly believed that
LIQUOR could be abolished by law. Many millions in
public money have been spent to prove that theory,
with unsatisfactory results But it is only fair that
prohibtionsts be given an honest to the ques
ton they are asking wet leaders:
What have you to offer that is better?"
There may be half dozen good answers but only
one is wanted Dr. Wilson says: Whenever the vets
can agree"
1t is fair challenge to the anti-prohibitonists to
get together on a definite program.

The WaV Is Clear


The increase of water rates on larger users of
water is declared illegal by the attorney general and
denounced by two members of the public service
commission.
The concession obtained by the city in taxes can,
therefore, be regarded only a confusion by the
water company Of its eXtorons from the public purse.
The Increase must be stopped, and can be stopped,
If there is an organized effort on the part of those
who are called upon to pay increases.
An even saddcr picture is presented by the new
schedules for the electric company. In addition to
the confession that it has been overcharging for
street lights and cent chopped from the tax rate,
there is a reduction of IL cents a month to the
consumer.
In return for these small concessions, the COM
pany escapes an explanation of the apparent variance
between figures one set of officials presented to the
public service commission and another presented to
the public.
1t also escapes an inquiry into its method of
operation whereby it gives to a twin subsidiary of
the holding company which owns both the electric
company and the selling agency extortionate fee
for buying COAL
1t escapes inquiry into huge charges for manage
ment its losses IN commercial and competitive bust
nesses outside the serving of electricity.
There has been no relief for the consumer, espe-
cially the users Of power. This is important 1t has
direct influence upon employment.
Is thcre enough courage in this city to demand a
new inquiry? All that it takes is petition of ten
citizens.

Open the Mines

Threat Of martial law in the mining district of
Indiana suggests that the state should offer brains in
stead Of bullets to settle the difficulties in that in
dustry
The remnant of what was once very strong union
organization of workers is now idle through failure
to agree with operators on a new wage scale.
Underneath that failure is a story Of conflict within
the union, struggle for control and more than
that, competition between various localities and diff
ferent types Of mines for control Of the huge Chicago
coal market The welfare of the workers of minor
Importance to the selfish interests in these conflicts
in all the negotiations
In these desperate days, when work is essential
and when wage scales in the mining industry must
be on competitive basis if the industry is to
tnue both sides to this controversy must face the
facts.
The people of this state have very direct interest
in the matter. There has been much privation and
suffering in the mining districts It has been
sary to send aid to the iobess. That aid has been
all too little and has failed to properly for the
dependents of the thousands who have had no work.
There is the larger interest in preventing the
tragedy that comes with open conflict
Probably outside Of a very few workers, the vast
majority Of the miners want only one thing-work on
that gives to them fair share of the products
of their labor. They want to in the mines. They
established by the price of coal in the one logical
market.
No leadership could be more stupid, to put it in
the most kindly term, than that which would I'M
necessarily add to unemployment at the present time.
For number of years the miners union has been
losing ground because its leadership has failed to
recognize certain fundamental economic facts they
relate to this state. The men have been sacrificed.
This has brought hunger desperation and assertions
until many Of the mines running when at all,
under unorganzed conditions and there is the pros
pect of this state being transformed into another
Kentucky slave pen
Bullets will not settle the matter. Only work
do that And work can come only when there is
fairness and justice not obstinate defiance of facts
on the one side or more obstinate greed upon the
other.
Instead Of soldiers, commission of far-minded
men should be sent to survey the situation and bring
peace and work.
