ture department Friday notified Hop
kins that six more counties had been
added to the drouth area In Nevada
and the same number In New Mex
leo. The drouth was reported to be
spreading.
Hopkins said there are now 2,2lO.-
GOO people employed on work projects
in the drouth areas digging wells,
building dams and working on schools
and roads, and IN South Dakota
building houses on farms to which

deny published reports that the adj

asserted the relief authorities have

GREEN HAS PLAN
FOR SETTLEMENT
OF STEEL STRIKE
Labor Federation Head Suu-
gests impartial Board to
Adjust Differences
UPHoLDs WORKERS RIGHTS
Says Proposed WaIkout Would
Be Called OFF If sugges-
ton Is Accepted

Pittsburgh, June 15.-(F-A plan
for settlement of the disputes in the
steel industry was submitted by Presi-
dent William Green of the American
Federation Of Labor Friday at the
steel workers convention called to
take action on the proposed nation
wide strike.
The labor leader suggested IAN i'm
partial board" Of three members be
appointed by the president to adjust
differences over the steel code and
mediate other disputes.
The workers shall maintain the
right, he said, to organize freely and
the board would have authority to
hold elections among employees to
choose collective bargaining repre-
sentatives.
# the plan is acceptable to both
sides. the strike should be called off,
he told the 200 delegates attending the
meeting Of the amalgamated associa-
ton Of iron, steel and tin workers.
Under Green's plan, the board
would offer its services as arbitrator
in any dispute and have the right to
determine any matters Of discrimin-
alton or discharge Of an employee.
The suggestion was made as q
group Of young labor leaders voiced
the insistent demand for q strike.
The highly technical convention pro-
cedure was In the hands Of conserva-
tive Michael F. Tighe, however, and
indications were that the cooler heads
might prevail.
Many observers predicted that un-
less the strike advocates are able ia
bring vote on the issue before night
fall their cause will be seriously at
fected.
The union is paying only transpor-
tation costs and many Of the dele
gates may be unable to remain over
Saturday. In addition, the hour ::
the walkout, If ordered, may be b..
tween midnight Friday and noon Sat-
urday. This would necessitate an linz
mediate return home of the leaders.

"HE game had also become more
L gentlemanly, and, if you will
take the word of an old-timer
like the writer, less colorful. Not that
there is any implication that John J.
McGraW was not a gentleman, but
when he went to the wars. he went
to win. Probably there never was a
more generous man in the big leagues
when it came to looking after old
time ball players who were down and
out. Recently an intimate friend of
McGraw!s estimated he had given
away to the old-timers at least $780,
900. and. although big money maker,
McGraw was never a wealthy man.
My acquaintance with McGraw
dated back to 1908. when I first began
writing base ball and trouping with
the Giants. Those we're the days of
Matty, Devlin, Dahlen, Doyle, Sey-
mour Bresnahan, and the rest.

the end OF the season.
Merkle was on first base. with a
runner on third, and hit would win
the game. The same play had come
In Pittsburgh a short time before when
the Cubs we're there. and Johnny
Evers, Chicago's second baseman, went
in to the plate and warned Umpire
Hank ODay to watch the play The
batter-I think it was old Moose
MCCormick-hi a solid one to deep
center and the runner on third scored.
Merkle started for second base but,
seeing there was no chance for the
Cubs to make a play, when about 10
feet from the bag, cut for the club
house, figuring the winning run had
been scored. Base runners had been
doing this all season, taking too much
for granted.

IN LEAGUE SO YEARS,
JERSEY CITY QUITS
Skeeters' Franchise Is Shifted
to Syracuse-Inadequate
Facilities Cause.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 2e.-After
IN nearly SO years of class AA base
ball, Jersey City will be out Of
the International League this year
while Syracuse returns to the circuit.
This was decided yesterday at q Spe'
cial emergency" meeting of the
leagues board of directors, who ac-
ceded to the request of President
Jack Corbett of the Skeeters to shift
the franchise to Syracuse.
The impossibility of finding ade-
quate playing facilities at Jersey City,
where the grand stand at West Side
Park has been in use since 1904, was
given as the reason for the change.
Syracuse city officials have agreed
to erect modern stadium, seating
12,5O0 and to sell S25.000 worth of
tickets to help finance the club, which
has been in trouble frequently in the
last few years.
Jersey City has had class AA ball.

Little Napoleon of many base ball
wars is gone, death yesterday ending

McGraw Gid not seem to be at
home in the modern game. 1t had
changed greatly since the days of
the old Baltimore Orioles-perhaps
for the better-but it was not Nc
Graws base ball.
No more did team win pennantS
bv stealing bases as his 1911 Giants
did, no more did the hit-and-run, or
the bunt or the unexpected play of
a master settle ball games and pen
nants.
1t was the day of the toe-hold at
the plate and the lively ball. Every
big Lacquer was grabbing his bat at
the end of the handle and swinging
for it-not the science of Willie
Keeler. who hit EN- where they amt,
or Ty Cobb, who called his shots and
was a flash on the bases.

A Strict Disciplinarian.
IN THE other hand, McGraw
~ made his players go to bed by
la fixed rule when they were
on the road-and he knew what time
each one of them got into the hotel.
He was liberal with his praise when
they did good work and with fines
when they broke the rules.
Merkle was well-behaved athlete
whom McGraw always admired. His
fault was that he would train so
strictly he would frequently get too
tight and drawn. One night in Gin
cinnati this writer saw McGraw de-
iberately get him drunk on cham
payne and the next day the first base
man played one of his best games.
He was just too overdone." ex-
planned McGraW. But if another one
of his players had done the same
thing on his own he would have
found his next pay envelope about
hundred dollars short.
McGraw probably admired Christy
Mathewson more than any other ball
player he ever knew, for his brains,

there was one thing he disliked about
the habits of Big Six" and that was
playing golf,
The Giant boss subscribed to the
theory that it was an old mans
game. Matty had an idea a round
of golf in the morning was not a
button of the vest of big Lacquer
and used to go out and tear off l8
holes and then try to pitch a ball
game. He got into a slump. McGraw
found out what his star was doing,
and they had their first serious row.
In the earlier days of base ball
the clubs put up at second-rate hotels
and ale In hot-dog wagons. McGraw
changed all that. The Giants stopped
at the best and could eat what they
liked at the expense of the manage
ment. but not for lunch McGraw
believed that a hungry ball player
was better one and a meaner one.
Therefore, he objected to lunch.
Many a youngster has eaten himself
out of the big leagues and the smart
est players ate breakfast late and no
lunch.

Against "Boneheads" Only.

n TcGRAW stood for drama in base
INl ball. Apparently hopelessly be-
hind in the world series o.
1912 with the Red Sox, the Giants
fought to tie, and the great Matty
went in to pitch the last game. In
extra innings, it looked as if he had
it won when Boston put in pinch

to centerfield which Snodgrass stood
under long enough to recite the Gettys-
burg address before it arrived 1t

he was as keenly disappointed as he
had ever been in his life? 1t was
my job to see him.
Il don't blame a ball player" he
said, for an error. Snodgrass is
smart ball player. I hate boneheads." :"
McGraW loved the old-timers of the
game. Although Rube Marquard had
a fine record when he joined the
Giants and was then the most eY.
pensive ball player in the history of
the game, designated by some sar-
castle writers as the S11, 900 lemon,
McGraw stood by him, but he never
rated him as great. The wry-necked
Rube was too much of a dude.
McGraw in his heart liked the Don
Inns and the Doyles and the Mattys.
The say Babe Ruth did lot for
base ball, and they are right. Old
Mac would have agreed. But when
the final record is written, unbiased
observers will have to give McGraw
credit for doing as much. He was a
great human being with the frailties
which go with greatness. No one he
liked even went to him for a tip on
horse race or a loan or anything
McGraw could give him that he
didn't get.
Big league base ball some day will
build a monument to him.
