In the last of the ninth the Crackers did their < xtra best to score some runs, and managed to till the bases. Agler the first man up, was safe when Bales let a uioundm g. t aw ay from him. Bailey ■ingled and Aglet went to third. stole second. Then Harbi son, a justly famous pinch hitter, fanned, and Graham, generally a useful swatter, hit a drooping liner to Absteln.

Reynolds had a swell chant e to achieve headline-, but Kissinger tightened up like a drum and the big cateher hoisted tint to Halll nan and let it go at tiiat.

I HAVE often marvelled over the fact that even In the'heat of a pennant race, such # as the one in which our club is now engaged. Manager John J. McGraw, of the Giants, finds time to give the fu ture a good deal of consideration and to maintain a training school for the production of baseball stars for the years to come. You would think that a tnan fighting for a championship would forget the future—and most man agers would: but not McGraw. It is further evidence of the base ball genius of the Giant chief that he can keep in front with one bunch of ball players and at the same time build underneath them, as you might say, a second team to eventually take the place of the first string. The average manager bas s his success on picking up men who are naturally good bail players, and v ho only requite a little devel opment. McGraw needs only the roughtest material ,>r youth and speed to form his teams. He is especially a manufacturer —a maker of players. From one end of the season to the other he has a training school operating in the midst of Ills regular ball club, and he manages to find time to produce one or two stars a year, even while the fight for the pennant is raging. In what’you might call his bench primary class, McGraw now has FODDER FOR FANS “A ball player is a fool to pay any at tention to what is said to him on the field." Bill Sweeney. * « • Head in a Buffalo paper: “Xapoleon Lajoie is Among the Heal Second Base Kings." Perchance, also it might be ad mitted that “Ty Cobb is One of Our Best Little Batsmen" and “Walter Johnson is One of the Cleverest of Washington’s 1 ’itchers." « « * Dolly Stark. ex-Southern leaguer, per petrated a run-in with I'mpire Jack Dunn at Buffalo and is now adorning the bench. e * * Claude Derrick isn't playing with Bal timore a present. He is suffering with a savage charleyhoss. ♦ ♦ ♦ Minor league stars have come high this year, but they had to have them. There have been no record sales, but the White Sox of Milwaukee, and have agreed to pay the same amount for Liebold and Chappelle' of the same club. Detroit paid Kansas Cit\ $12,000 for Corridon and Cleveland gave up SIO,OOO for Chapman (stage money, maybe.) ♦ • • Arthur Fromme allowed 38 hits in eight consecutive games recently, an average of less than five to the game In conceding, as he did on September 1. that the Red Sox had gone away with the American league pennant Connie Mack finished about two millionth in the \merican league guessing contest. Ail the lest of us had piped it off a week be fore. * * ♦ Here is a list of the ten biggest big league disappointments of the year: Teams: Cardinals. Browns, Naps, Ath letics. Phillies Players Marty O'Toole. Joe Will.is, George Chalmers, Del Gainer. Chief Bender. • • r The Pelican fans don’t believe in giving up their money. And when Knaupp col lected $24 for a home run Sunday it was the first time nmney had been tossed to a player in New Orleans for four years. • « M Perryman, who goes to the Giants this fall, has lost eight games for Richmond. In seven of them not a run was scored for him by his teammates. Birmingham has scored the most runs ■<f any team in the league <49IH, but the Mobile team has allowed its opponents the least (343). The Crackers rank in the number of runs scored, but have allowed more than any other team !n the league. . * • • \ new umpire was xvorking in the American u• iation, Rube Wmldill hit a clean home run. but the umpire called it a foul ball Joe t’antlllon. the Minne apolis manager, rushed up tn the umpire. 1.r.-pared to b| .w his head off but didrft This is what the umpire said that made him desist. « • « "Keep awaj from me, keep away from half a dozen young pitchers, and that number will probably be in creased before the close of the sea son. as several others are ex pected to report. In addition to this primary class, McGraw has another rnore advanced grade of students, composed of infielders and outfielders who will one day be stars of the game. Sits on Bench and Learns. A most striking exampft? of the McGraw system is furnished by young George Burns, an outfielder. Any other manager in the league would probably have hurried a boy of Burns’ natural ability into the regular line, with a prospect of im mediately developing any weakness that he might have, lather than his strength. Burns can hit well, and is very fast. He is also a crack fielder. All he lacks is experience, and he is getting that under the McGraw method of sitting on the bench and watching. Burns reported to the team last fall, and played in a few games. He went to Marlin with the re cruits, and the fact that he was one of the few retain'd showed that McGaw though' highly of him. Then his education . commenced. He plays in exhibition games. Once in a while he is sent uft as a pinch hitter, but generally l}e sits on the bench during the championship game, watching and listening. He sees and hears about the mistakes of others. He hears McGraw’s ob servations, and the observations ■ me If you get me excited I can't do a ! thing." • • ♦ When Hamilton pitched a no-hit game 1 against I tetroit the other day lie was the. ’ second American league left hander who had ever done it. Jesse Tannehill was l the other. • ♦ • Jim Fox's great showing m winning the second half of the Sally league season, coupled with his previous great record with Columbus, should make the former 1 Cracker first sacker a strong favorite for a job as manager in the Southern league. Jim doesn’t look like a manager, but, then, neither does Connie Mack. • * * Well, Jimm> Johnson has broken the Southern league record for stolen bases. He passed Joe Rickert's mark on Mon . day. By the way, didn’t we predict that . a couple of months ago? • ♦ • ' Birdie Cree, whose wrist was broken by ' a pitched ball, has rejoined the Highland -1 ers. One thing the Giants Tiave on the Red Sox is base stealing anility. Still, that didn’t get them much against the Ath • letics. « » ♦ Doc White is to manage the Sacra mento team of the Coast league next sea son. JACKSONVILLE AND COLUMBUS MEET IN FIRST GAME TODAY ’ Le post-?eason series of seven games to decide the pennant winner in the South Atlantic league will begin at Jack sonville todaj The teams will play seven games, if necessary. The first three games will be played at Jacksonville, the second three at <’olumbus, and in the event that a sev enth is necessary the city showing the largest attendance will get the deciding game. Morrow or Weidell will work for Co lumbus, white Abercrombie will pitch for Jacksonville, in the first game of the series. KiLBANE FIGHTS DUNDEE TONIGHT: DEFI FROM ABE NEW YORK. Sept. 4 When Feath erweight Champion Kilhane meets Johnny Impdee tonight in a ten-round bout at I li* St Nicholas Ythletii elub, he probably will receive a challenge tii box Abe Attell, from whom Kilbane xvon his title on the coast. Attell told his friends today that he would be at the ringside and would challenge Kii bane. of the older players. He isJearning the xveaknefses of the opposing pitchers. Some day he may take- his place in the regular line, and when be does he xvill be practically a fin ished outfielder. McGraw does net believe in putting an inexperi enced man into critical games, whether he is a pitcher or aj out fielder, or anything else, and the wisdom of his course has been proven time and again Arthur Shafer, the crack Cali fo nian, can hardly be classed a« i recruit student. He could take his place in the regular line right now. He has gained his experience as the others must gain it. and h“ is out of the regular line only be cause of tjie fact that equally bril liant players who have the add»d value of longer service stand in his way. Arthur Fletcher had to take hi< turn on the bench until last y t i . when the trade for Herzog opent”' the way for regular service, an i Fletcher has been a great play? from the moment he broke in. Fred Merkle sat back for sevi i! years, and So did Herzog when lie .fir s t joined the Giants before going to Boston. Meyers Worked Way Up. Chief Meyers played second fldill° for a time xvhen he joined the Giants, but finally worked hfs wax to the position of first catcher of the club. Now. Arthur Wilson, a very fine receiver, is the second man. while behind him is Grover Cleveland Hartley, who xvill some day be a great star. McGraw does not try to hur y the development of a man. He goes along slowly and carefully xvith him, studying not only his ability but his temperament, and the day that McGraxx- says a man is read' you can xvager he is. That is usual ly true, too, xvhen McGraw says a man is done. His mistakes in judg men’ on ball plavers have been mighty fexx’ and far betxveen. Hov many youngsters discard' d by him after trials have become stars? Beneath his brusque mannerisms and wax- of speaking McGraxx has an infinite patience. Errors of judgment max- Irritate him, but er rors of hands or feet are never no ticed. A "boot" means nothing to him. A "bone” arouses his ire. He will take hold of a youngster who is so raw that the average manager xxould probably release him after a glance; xvork him along very pa tiently, until one day he presents a nexx- star. I believe that McGraw can see a ball player quicker than any man m rhe business. I doubt if it takes him more than a day or so to cor rectly estimate a fellow, and many a time he has demonstrated his judgment by turning loose some youngster whose work most people thought stamped him as a coming sensation, and clinging tn anothe raxv recruit, who has shown the casual observer nothing. McGraw “Saw” Tesreau. Last siring. I remember, there xvas a great deal of talk about this and that recruit pitcher in th tiaining camp. McGraw overheard some of the correspondents dis cussing the different men, and finally he remarked quietly: “Well, you fellows can have a that kind—l II take this big box Tesreau for mine.” And Testeah has fulfilled Mc- Graw’s judgment. WG raw likes players of his own making. He makes fewer deals fin men from other teams than any of the managers. He prefers a play* xvho has been through his oxvn per sonal school He would pay an' amount for an experienced pla.'*-' if he felt that the veteran could help him win a pennant, but as t genetai proposition you*would have a hard time handing him an old timer from some other team. He likes his own productions.
