Senators, and Alexander remain as the lone connecting rnks between the great era of Matty and the up-to-the-minute times of the lively ball and the epidemic of home runs, Johnson has quite a few records of his own.

Because Howard Ehmke of the Americans has pitched more wenty-one games this season, he is hailed a a "glutton Yor work." Glancing beck into the records, one notes that the present day pitch- €rs are not as gluttonous as they might be. "Hoes" Radbourne won 60 games for Providence when mat city was in the National league back in 1884. Still, fa #t hardly fair to compare the baseball of that era with the game as it has developed in the bast twenty years, Setting aside Radbourne's Jack Chesbro won 41 games for the New York Americans in 1904. In 1908, Matthewson won 37 games for the New York Nationals "Matty" pitched 416 complete innings, ap- broximately 46 complete contests. Alexander worked in 66 games In 1908, when he was with Phlladel- phia. No, the boys are not so glut- tonous these days, but perhaps vqey are wiser. Ed. Walsh goes so far as to say so. Matty recorded a follows: 1903, 30; 1904, 33; 1905, 31. Alexander made his mark for a similar total as on Tt work, Aucitoneer! wiERvICE AND jATIEACTION Wrentense County. on E W.

Figures show and the fans know that John J, McGraw is the greatest manager that ever hand'el a major league \baseba'l club. N> other man- ager in the rast has don> what the fiery leader of the Giant's has accom- pi'shed and it is doubtfc] if the re- cord that he is adding to year by year ever will be equalled or surpassed. Since he assumed the management of the New York Giants, McGraw has won nine National league pennants and he has carried three teams through to the championship in the world's series. No manager of his day with the exception of Connie Mack, can ap- proach his record and McGraw's re- cerd over a period of years shades that of the slim leader of the Phila- delphia Athletics almost into insig- nificance. Mack has three world's champion- chips to his credit and six American League pennants, but in adversity he has been as consistent as he was in prosperity, and his record is clouded by seven years in the cellar, while McGraw only once in his career has failed to get the Giants above the last place. A Wonderful Record. Nine firsts, eight seconds, one third, two fourths and only once in last place gives McGraw a record for success in his line that has not been equalled in any line of sport. McGraw has been successful be- cause he knows baseball from its very foundation; because he has the Quality of leadership, the tendency toward strict discipline, keen Judg- ment of players and the resources to obtain promising material and de- velop it. MoGraw's teams are always smart ball clubs, because he knows base- ball, because he has the ability to teach it and because he will have on his club only those players who are capable of thinking baseball as well as playing the mechanics of the game. : It has been pointed out in the past that MoGraw lacks the ability to judge voung ball players because so many of them have developed into stars after they had been turned away from the Giants. This peculiar disposition of the Giant leader to be only an. opportunist has caused him to part company with many ball play- ers when he knew better than any- one else that they were going to de- velop into great players. He acts on the theory that'he has to build teams for today and if he needs something else tomorrow he will have to take his chance on getting it. Right now the Giants have in Jack- son and Maguire two of the finest young infielders in baseball, but he does not need them. If he felt the necessity of strengthening his out- field or his pitching staff and could arrange a deal he would let either one or both of them go, although he is aware of their ability, Must Play McGraw's Way. McGraw knows ball players and he knows what they can do for him. It isn't every good ball player who can vlay for McGraw, however, and the player, no matter how good he is, who will not play McGraw's kind of baseball will not be tolerated on the club, The Giant leader has done a lot for baseball and the game has been very good to him. He is a stockholder and vice-president of the club and is re- puted to be a wealthy man. Once McGraw was the most aggres- sive manager in baseball. He was a terror to umpires and opposing play- ¢rs. His teams were of the same reckless and daring spirit, ready to fight and willing to battle at the slightest provocation. Years have softened the disposition of MoGraw, however, and he is one of the most placid managers in the big leagues. His players do not ridé um- pires or players. MeGraw seldom puts on a uniform and he seldom brings himself from the seclusion of the bench.

In the past Tv years the purses and receipts of big boxing matches have reached such cloud-kissing | heights as to make one wonder whether championships are not soon going to rank in value with rall- | roads, great industries, corporations or the profitable art of plastering. This feeling has been intensified by the intake at the Dempsey-Firpo | fi Those receipts would have | made many a European nation | happy. They might easily have! been the subject of an office com- munication from the treasurer of a Detroit enterprise to Henry Ford. the president. These dizzy figures that represent the public rating of a boxing event seem to cause much worriment around the nation, chiefly from per- sons who do not attend boxing bouts There !s a lot of loose talk about | the good old days when fighters who really could fight were happy to re- reive $5 for having both eves black- ed, teeth loosened and nose smashed in. The good old days of boxing! The Paddy Ryans, the Jake Kilrains, the Dominick McCaffreys, the John L's. The days when fighters were fighters and they felt insulted if they made more than a month's living. Did it ever ocour to these scoffers that crowds of 40,000 to 90,000 were unknown in those days. One thousand and 2,000 persons formed big gatherings then. A pic- ture of the Sullivan-Kilrain scrap down in Richburg, Miss., wonld in- dicate that not more than 3,000 at- tended that gala event of the good old days. The fighter happy with little re- turns! Do you suppose Paddy Ryan, Dominick McCaffrey, Jake Kilrain or John L. woul fight for any purse from $5 to $5,000 if he knew that about 70,000 persons were going to pay $3, $6, $10, $15, $20 and $25 to see it? We should not judge fighting from the eighties or early nineties, because conditions were different. A fighter could buy a whole meal for 25 cents in those days. Let him try it tow. The boxing dollar of 1923 buys less than 30 or 35 years ago, just the same as the food collar. | Yet that isn't the point. You. couidn't get the crowd in the old | days, because fights, more or less, were held in secret. A man who at- | tended the Sullivan-Kilrain scrap bought a railroad ticket that read "from New Orleans to destination." He didn't know where he was go- | ing. Only the promoters and the | railroads knew. The pation also | risked arrest, suffered much incon- venience, and it cost him more to see the fight than #t would today. °* Therefore, it is no use to compare conditions of the good ola days, when a handful of men saw a fight, to the present day, when a gathering the | size of a large city, consisting of leading men in business and finance, the professions and art, can reach a concrete stadium after a ride of 20 to 30 minutes in a taxi and see two Auntie, it's a hundred years ago ted " R { !

SPEAKER EQUALS WORLD'S RECORD FOR TWO-BAGGERS. By knocking out his fifty-sixth two- base hit of the season, at St. Louis, on Wednesday, Tris Speaker, star outfielder and manager of the Cleve- land Indians, equalled the world's Tecord. Ray Kolp was pitching for the Browns when Speaker drove out the hit in the third inning. The former world's record was held by Ed. Delahanty, wno establish- ed it in 1899. Speaker broke his own American league record of fifty- three doubles in one season at Phila- delphia, Sept. 26th, when he knocked out a two-bagger in each game of a SN, double-header. Speaker established the former league record in 1912 when he was a8 member of the pennant winning Red Sox. Five games remain on the Indians' scheddle. ------------ -- A world's speed boat record was shattered at Cincinnati in the annual regatta of the Ohio Valley Motor Boat racing Association when King Tut running in the 5.10 class made the ten-mile course in 13 minutes and 37 seconds, an average of 44.3 miles per hour.
