Americans, i« the bee^t thrower in hie
company. I would like to stack up
Murray against him in any kind of
a throwing test.
Murray, of course, brought his
good arm to New Tork from the
Mound City. But It was more frac
tious than now. The plucky outfielder
has worked very hard to perfect that
defensive system which is the pride cf
his fellows and the amazement and
consternation of the enemy.
Jack had several striking weak
nesses when he first reported to Mc-
Graw. His throwing was not the
most accurate in the world, and he
was somewhat slow in getting the
ball away from him. This was the
direct result of a weakness for
ground balls. Jack could always come
In fast or go to either side of him
for difficult catches. But he had
trouble in going back.
Perhaps he never will be able to
go back with the speed and accuracy
of a Milan or a Carey, but he im
proved so much that to-day he com
pares favorably with any outfielder
in the game.
Murray’s hitting has improved
every bit as much as his throwing
and his Judgment of fly balls. He Is
not a slugger of the Doyle stamp.
By John “Chief” Meyers.
(Star Catcher of the Champion Giants
and Ona of the Leading Sluggers
of the National League.)
T~' ARNESTNESS of
but he is a very dangerous man in
the pinch. He generally puts in his
wallops where they do the most good.
Is Heady Base Runner.
Jack is a good, heady base runner
—a much improved one over hLs St.
Louis form. Of course, for this Mc-
Graw must get a lot of credit. Mac
has the knack of inculcating true
base running principles into his fol
lowers. He knows that branch of the
science as well as any man living, for
he was the king of the paths in the
old Oriole days.
Nobody, however, can take any
credit for the general improvement
of Murray, save the player himself.
No man in the history of the pastime
ever mastered a playing territory any
better than “Red” has connu^red that
right pasture. He holds to singles
caroms off the wall that would be
good doubles and triples with the
average fielder.
Murray 1 ad to familiarize himself
with every square inch of the fence
to accomplish this cunning. It meant
a great deal of time and patience in
practice and the same purpose of
mind that cured him of biting at
bad balls when the pitcher used to
have him in a hole

purpose will
P A carry a professional baseball
player a long way. An athlete
who is not prepared to do his very
best for the common cause at all
times sacrifices a great part of his
effectiveness.
I have been associated with Mo-
Graw long enough to realize that
this most successful manager places
integrity a^ove all the other virtues.
Anyone who shows the least dis
position ever to “qutt” or to "loaf”
on John J. McGraw, In doing so seals
hie own doom. I have made a close
study of our boss during the annua?
spring training trips.
To attract the serious notice of
our boss in those days is something
of an accomplishment. I can tell you.
But the youngster who is thoroughly
in earnest in all he does and serious
in his efforts to put instructions to
the best advantage has a 1 wavs the
verv keenest sympathy of McGraw
from the very start.
Even if McGraw might have no im
mediate opening for a recruit he
would go a long distance out of his
way to advise a colt ambitious to
rise in his profession. At the same
time McGraw has absolutely no use
for a man who is not truly serious
in his work all of the time.
Indifference Is Fatal.
I have aeon many and many a mo Ft
promising young player at the Marlin
camp sacrifice his whole future, so
far a* any connection with the Giant9
might be concerned, through some
apparent indifference.
What may be accomplished through
diligent application might well be
illustrated in the case of almost any
one of the Giants. Outfielder Jack
Murray certainly is a very striking
example. Y
Murray was a pretty good ball
player when he came to New York
from St. Louis. Rut though well ex
perienced at that time he was not
half w valuable to our club as he
is to-day. He found in working for
a champion team new and more
pleasant avenues for the exercise of
his skill. It takes something out of
the stoutest heart to be forced to
buck the fate of a tail-end team year
by year.
I consider Jack Murray to-day one
of the very best asset? of our team.
Tf we win our third straight pen
nant—and I feel very confident that
we will—the auburn-haired guardian
of the right field will have had as
much to do with our triumph as
Matty or Marquard.
"Red’«” record p-^aks pretty plainly
and strongly for itself. His work
is the admiration of thousand? of
our supporters. I do not know how
many games he has saved us already
this season by his wonderful throw
ing arm. but I realize that if he had
failed even several times on what ap
peared the most desperate chances,
we would not now be enjoying the
advantageous lead which favors us.
Murray a Great "Pegger."
I think Murray is the best thrower
I have ever *een. His arm is not
onlv strong to a phenomenal degree,
but. best of all. is deadly accurate.
Jack has the knack of bouncing the
ball true to the mark and in such &
way as to leave the receiver In the
very best position to tag the base-
runner. I am told that Joe Birming
ham, manager of the Cleveland
The Queer Ride.
T E QUEER RIDE IS A COR-
rollary to the Breed of Horses,
which was discussed in an
earlier paper of this series. The
two are fast woven together. All
efforts to separate them have, up to
this time, failed.
Thus Is it now generally recog
nized that the Queer Ride U an
inevitable agency in improving the
Breed of Horses. The owners of
race tracks are again* gambling
anywhere but 1n their clubs and on
the Stock Exchange. Any of them
will tell you sc*. But In spite of
this fact humbler men insist on
batting on the results of horse
races, and the Queer Ride was In
troduced to eliminate the slight
element of chance, without which
there enn be no true gambling.
The Bookmakers have responded
nobly to the call, and have made
free use of the Queer Ride in car
rying on the crusade again* gam
bling. It is believed that by per
sistent use of this device betting on
horse races can be finally abolished.
It is figured that even a man with
so little primary intelligence as to
buck another man’s game will
eventually see a light after he has
blown hi* bank roll against & sure
thing every day for several year*.
The Bookmaker is usually,
though not always, the author of
the Queer Ride, and the Jockey Is
the active agent. Successful demon
stration of the phenomenon is very
simple. It requires only the morals
of the race track and a well-de
veloped forearm On the whole, an
unpretentious but valuable institu
tion.
("The Amateur” will be the next
victim. Get a ringside seat.)
r KING the first game wltti the
Baror^ and then taking the
second, and stacking them up,
one against the other, they look pretty
much the same.
That is, in the box scores.
Two games In one series hardly
ever look more twin-llke. In the first
game the count in R,. H. and E., you
know, was Crackers. 7-13-3; Moles,
2-8-2.
In the second game It was: Crack
ers, 7-11-4, Moles, 3-6-1.
That Is to say, the general propor
tions of the two games were about
even.
The similarity ends just about
there.
Mack, manager of the Athletics
Connie ha* little to say about the
race this year. He is not given to
boasting and has not ptit in a claim
for the championship of 1913, but he
Is taking time by the forelock and
putting in his bid for the 1914 burn
ing.
Connie likes the material h« ha;-
at hand. He is nursing it carefully
Bjiid by virtue of that caution may
succeed in winning the title this year
But win or lose this year, he can not
see anything but jpuccohs ahead next
season.
His reasons are many. While Ira
Thomas has slowed up and Jack
Lapp is not hitting as well as h»*
should and has, Walter Schang al
ready looks as good a? any catcher
in the league and he should improve
next yefir over the great form dis-
plaved this season. Connie probably
will pick off a youngster this fall
to help the former Buffalonian and
Lapp.
Pitchers Performing WsH.
Take his pitchers. Bender and
plank have done grand work this
year. They may not be as good next
season, but that Is what the expert?
nave been saying for years Jack
Coombs must he reckoned hi an un
certainty, but looks in better physi
cal condition than he has for several
campaigns.
But Cbnnie is not counting on his
three veterans. He has already
quietly announced his plans, which
are to use Bush, Shawkey. Brown
and Houck regularly In the box in
1914 and give his three veterans a
fair amount of rest and only call
upon them for relief work and In
emergencies.
He asserts. mo*t emphatically, that
Bush, Shawkey, Houck and Brown
form the best quartet of youngsters
In the country. he counts on them
being better in 1914 than this year,
when they have shown ability to go
along and keep the Athletics in the
race.
Then there is no telling Just what
prizes Mack will pick up in the draft
and by purchase. He got Rchang,
Bush and Shawkey this season, and
the plums may again fall into hi«
basket.
Has Only Great Infield.
Of course. Connie has no infield
worth mentioning—ha* no one except
Mclnnis, Colllne, Barry and Baker,
only three of whom can hit .330 or
better and only four of whom can
field with consistent brilliancy. Pretty
tough outfit—that $100,000 infield
They say the weak spot In th. 1
Athletics Is the outfield. So it is com
pered with the remainder of the team,
but lined up against the outer garden
representatives of other clubs. <t
•hows superiority over St. Louie,
bfcashington, Chicago and New York.
^ OBODY knew that, however, and
1 * the Crackers ruined another
pretty situation in the domestic half
of that inning when Long, w+th the
bases full and nobody out, hit into
a two-ply killing and only one run
got over.
But Harry Holland and Bisland
did a brother ad 1n the next Inning,
Harry’s hard drive getting through
McBride for the circuit on what
should have been a very fine little
single.
KEOKUK SIGNS PITCHER.
MOBERLY, MO., Aug. 20.—Charles
Parrick. a pitcher for a local amateur
team, has been signed by Keokuk.
fllb PRICE, in his game, had all
VJ the luck in the wide, wide world,
and was not scored on or hit con
secutively until th ninth Inning.
Elliott Dent, in the second contest,
ran Into Kreak after streak of tough
luck, and it was only after the Moles
had clawed their way to a three-run
lead that things began to brighten
up a little.

Mr. W. was the guy who came up

chance to walk him With the in
