Sporting News and Views from the Four Corners of the World BIG LEAGUERS ENJOY SIGHTS BEFORE GAMES Rampage Find Paris Most Friendly and Are Pleased With Reception. Heralding a Great Event John J. McGraw, Who Has Earned Title of Napoleon of Baseball By the time this newspaper reaches the band of the readers, the first game of baseball to be played in France for eleven years, between regular league teams, will most likely be over. Those who
regular league teams, will most likely be over. Those who miss the game will have two more opportunities of seeing the brand of baseball that is dished out to those fortunate enough to reside in a city in the United States that boasts of a major league club. There will be a second game tomorrow and a third and final game on Wednesday. As The Paris Times goes to press, the New York Giants and the Chicago White Sox are hard at it at Colombes Stadium. Since reaching Paris yesterday afternoon the big leaguers have been enjoying personally conducted tours
afternoon the big leaguers have been enjoying personally conducted tours around the city and are more than pleased with what they have been shown. "Greatest reception we have had on the trip," said John McGraw, and the entire party backed him up. The lobby of the Grand Hôtel looks like a typical New York hotel in World’s Series time, with the hungry fans anxious for a word with the players who are destined to be either heroes or broken men in a few hours. Grass Diamond Puzzling. The great stadium at Colombes is undoubtedly too large to serve for such
at Colombes is undoubtedly too large to serve for such barnstorming exhibitions, and too remote of access to call out the attendance which the series will deserve. The big open spaces in the stands are not what these professional stars are accustomed to see. The grass baselines also will prove puzzling at first, but the field has been clipped and rolled until it will be nearly as fast as a “skinned” diamond. The balls will discolor quickly, but this should encourage the pitchers who thus far have fared ill at the hands of the hitters of the two teams. Veterans
the hands of the hitters of the two teams. Veterans With Teams. Although Urban Faber is the only player with the two teams who worked in the 1913 series of games, the party includes the two great managers, McGraw and Comiskey, Hans Lobert, and Tip O’Neill, who made the trip of a decade ago. Among the group this time are several youngsters as players. Two of the players have young babies with them. So it is safe to say that ten years hence or thereabouts, when John McGraw brings his Giants over again,—for John looks good for twice that much
Giants over again,—for John looks good for twice that much longer,--his party will include several more repeaters. They say that opportunity comes to a person but once in a lifetime. It is indeed quite consistent to say that the present will be the last opportunity to witness such an spectacle—the same two teams visited this country in 1913—and so long as there are such loyal sporting men heading baseball in America as Charles Comiskey and John McGraw, it is reasonably certain that there will be other international tours. But they come far too infrequently for the citizens of the United
come far too infrequently for the citizens of the United States who, for one reason or another, are obliged to remain on this side of the big drink. The fans over here are not starved exactly for the want of baseball. It is true that there are periodical games in Paris during what is termed the regular season, but it is also true that they are not played by teams made up of high-salaried stars—the best the game produces—such as are in our midst at present. It is really a godsend to the many American residents of France to be
godsend to the many American residents of France to be able to gaze upon the spectacle of their national pastime being played by eighteen prima donnas of the game—or more than eighteen, as the game sometimes requires. Last Trip Made in 1913. Since such world tours and European invasions, such as the present one by the Giants and White Sox, do not prove financial successes—and the present one is not expected to be any exception—the incentive for such a tour is well worth analyzing. Primarily, the two men responsible for the trip, Charles Comiskey “The Old Roman,” and John McGraw
the trip, Charles Comiskey “The Old Roman,” and John McGraw “The Little Napoleon,” are staunch and stout baseball fans. They believe in the game, for the game. They believe it to have a great influence, this game of baseball, and it undoubtedly has. TOP-WEIGHTS SURPRISE AT MAISON-DES-LAFFITTE Fairly good fields ruled at Maisons-Laffitte yesterday, but winners were extremely difficult to pick, as was proved by the almost complete success of outsiders. The only animal to rival anything like her reputation was Majorque in the Prix de Colombes. She was ridden by that promising jockey, C. Herbert, who had previously piloted
by that promising jockey, C. Herbert, who had previously piloted Embrasée to victory in the Prix d’Avrainville. There was some heavy speculation over the Prix de Saint-Crespin, for which Tricharopoli was a strong fancy, but the prize went to Soleil Couchant, despite extra weight. Another well-burdened horse, Pervenche, accounted for the Prix des Sablonnets. While both Comiskey and McGraw make their livelihood out of the game, and both of them are now wealthy men, they have not reached that stage where they place the commercialism of the game above the game itself. Both magnates are unquestionably American from the bottom
game itself. Both magnates are unquestionably American from the bottom of their hearts, and their principal idea in making such a tour is to try and spread the game of baseball throughout the civilized world. They consider this an admirable form of propaganda for the United States, where the game of baseball was given birth. So they have gone into such an enterprise willingly, knowing that they will be out of pocket when they reach the shores of America again, after terminating this tour, but they are satisfied to pocket their losses, happily, and say nothing about it, for they
their losses, happily, and say nothing about it, for they believe that they will have accomplished something substantial. Whether such a visit will go very far towards spreading the game of baseball cannot be decided at this time. When a tour was made of the Orient, the game gained quite a substantial foothold in Japan. They now play it in the Land of the Rising Sun with regularity and adeptness. It has progressed so far that American coaches have been employed to impart the finer points of the game to the young Japanese players—and they are said to have become
the young Japanese players—and they are said to have become quite proficient. JOHN J. MCGRAW. A Hard Man to Beat in Baseball.—Was A Great Player and is A Great Manager. That Little Group of Faithfuls. Plenty of baseball has been played in France since the memorable year of 1917. As the American troops came here in greater numbers, more teams and more games were played. Out of pure curiosity, many French watched the spectacle. It is so different from any other game they play in this country, that very few French were ever able to fathom the finer points, and
French were ever able to fathom the finer points, and naturally, they were unable to take that great interest in the game that is necessary before one becomes a fan. It may be that the three games that will be staged at the big Olympic Stadium will serve to revive some of the interest. It may be that the constant propaganda that has been carried on in the interest of the game by a few faithful American members of the colony will eventually bear fruit. If for no other reason than they have been persistent in their efforts in the
than they have been persistent in their efforts in the face of all sorts of discouragements, it is sincerely hoped that the game will gain a foothold. PORTING MATTERS Many Teams in Long Grind. Manager Chapman, of Madison Square Garden, announces that he has sixteen teams already signed for the winter six-day bicycle race which will start on December 1. French Fliers Make Speed. In a flight lasting 7hr. 15min., yesterday, two French aviators, Captain Weiss and Adjutant Vaneaudenberg, flew the round trip from Paris to Metz, a distance of 1,000 kilometers. The fliers landed at Metz, Mainz, and Mourmelon.

To-morrow at the Parc des Princes, the Stade Français and the Racing Club de France will meet in a game that will determine the Rugby championship of Paris. The two teams are evenly matched and the betting has been at even money for the last week. Included in the Racing Club lineup are Gerald and Piquiral, two of the best in Paris. The Stade has on its three-quarter line Jaureguy, the French International, and Dick Hyland. The match is to start at 2:30 p.m. It may be
match is to start at 2:30 p.m. It may be that the present visit of two of the greatest aggregations that ever donned gloves will have the desired effect. It is hoped that a great crowd of French people will avail themselves of the opportunity to witness one or more of these faultless exhibitions. If there are plenty of French people on hand, there is certain to be a few of them who will wish to see another game. If this desire be created in a few sportsmen, it may be spread. It's the spreading of the wish to see
be spread. It's the spreading of the wish to see the game that is desired. And here’s hoping, out of pure gratefulness to Charles Comiskey, to John McGraw, to the members of the teams who are sacrificing the money they could make playing winter baseball and following other endeavors in order to make this trip, and lastly, but least, to the little group of faithfuls in Paris, that a certain measure of success be attained. Ted Lyons, who is showing here with the White Sox this week, is one of the luckiest youngsters in baseball game. Ted was working with
the luckiest youngsters in baseball game. Ted was working with the diamond aggregation of Baylor University, at Waco, Tex., when Ray Schalk, the brainy veteran catcher of the Sox, happened to step off a train to see a game Baylor was playing. Ray knows a ballplayer when he sees him, and he promptly established a connection between the Sox and Lyons. Lyons had the stuff. Otherwise no amount of luck would have kept him up there for months on end. When Comiskey decided to bring a group of his players abroad, the “Kid” was among those chosen to demonstrate the
