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 Totals Atlanta. ab. r. h. po. a. e.

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. BASEBALL SUMMARY BASEBALL —TO-DAY—= Birmingham vs. Atlanta Ponce de Leon Park 3:30 T HAT tied the >teorp. and here is the point we have been driving at for quite some time: Mr. Foxen’? ambish departed right there. We got ahead in the seventh when Agler beat out a hit that Ellam fell over fielding, a has' on bulls and Wel- chonce’s single. Then, with the real explosion of the happy afternoon. Wally Smith shot off a home run far over Kniseley’s head and the game was on ice. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Standing of the Clubs. W. L. Pet. | W. L. Pet N.
