, teams simply spear-carriers In the 1917 baseball production. The only difference
between the systems of the amateur dopesters and the professional prophets Is
that the latter have been unable to rid themselves of the time-honored habit of
planting an alibi In advance. The Innocent amateurs como right out boldly and
ay the Giants will win sure. The cagy professional puts If over wis way: The
'
gi2j Giants will win provided McCSraw does
wun mm.
As an alibi the stuff would be funny were It not so pathetic. The Idea of a
ball club running away from John McGraw would go big If worked Into a vehicle
lor Eddie Foy or any of our well-known comedians, but as a serious thought It is
ridiculous. If the merry men of the metropolis run nway with unythlng this
eason It will be with the National League pennant.
THOSE who offer the suggestion that tho Giants may run away from
their manager point to tho unfortunate affair at the Polo Grounds at
the close of last season when McGraw virtually accused his men of not
trying to beat Brooklyn. Our understanding of the thlrg Is that It was
McGraw who did the running on that occasion and not his players.
Where McGraw Is Manager McGraw Is Boss
JUST where can be found anything In John McGraw's career to support a sug
gestion that there Is any combination of ball plajers In the country which ha
could not control? The Little Napoleon has always ruled his men with the mailed
fist, and It must be admitted that he has handled Borne tough ones In his time.
There Is no reason for believing 'that he Is not the same McGraw he was ten
years ago or that he has lost hh hold In nny way. It Is true that he had some
trouble with his players last fall, and rather than not be boss he left them flat.
He Is the type of man who will rule or ruin, a contention which Is hot no out by his
action in quitting the field when his men failed to obey his Instructions. How
Many managers In the big leagues would have the nerve to do what McGraw did
on that occasion? Instead of its being evidence that McGraw Is weakening, the
affair, on "the contrary, is good proof that ho will go to any length to prevent
bis orders being trifled with. It was a bitter lesson to his players and one which
'they will not forget for a long time to come. They know, McGraw knows and
very one else who knows anything at all about baseball should know, that as
long as John McGraw Is manager JOHN McGRAW IS BOSS.
It Is generally conceded that McGraw has two or three bad actors on his pay
roll, but the manner In which troublesome players have been handled by John J.
in the past left little to bo desired. No

"Bring fortli the unwashed matmen from

pressed by Joe Stecher, the husky Nebraska
farmer lad, who has recovered from tho Ill

several big wrestling matches during the
last winter. Now he stands ready to de.
fend his claims to the catch-as-catch-can

Stecher Is recognized as the peer of grap

powerful limbs locked around the other
man's middle the Nebraskan slowly crushes
him into submission.
Many followers of wrestling who have
neer seen Joe work probahly do not ap
preciate Just what his famous crusher
means to the wrestler who gets caught In
It. Briefly. It Is a rlb-crushine hold.
Nothing, more nor less than slow torture.
Grip Stops Them All
Strecher has perfected the hold until he
can clamp It on to his opponent from almost
any position. He may be nearly down him

powerful limbs. Once he gets the hold the
farmer lad locks his ankles,' brings his
knees toward each other with a slow but

anil (nclaitlc.
l'crhttv so.
Yet, there are frequent occasions when
ue tire of romantic figures and find that
daring adventure pails, and'icc turn ta
the record book of baseball to liven thing
tip
In wandering through these records one
can light iipoii a sufficient tititnbcr of queer
and quaint turns to more than make it all
worth while.
In looking through the records wo paused
for a moment on the 1916 career of the
Giants. After studying" the. figures again
wo foiind them to offer pnelof the oddest
turns In the history' of a game replete with
oddities and such
These figures were absolutely beyond the
dope almost beyond belief. , Here is ths
situation: The Giants last year played 15J
ball sanies, of which they won 88 and lost
66, the same being reasonable enough. Hut
In separating Iheso figures we como upon
this unusual turn:
Of their eighty-six lctorles the Giants
won no less than forty-three In two un
broken dashes. Here, then, was a ball
club able In May and September to win
forty-three games out of forty-three starts.
That double performance at two stages
of the race would indicate power enough to
win a pennant In a romp.
Hut what of the other 100 games? Hero
we find the Giants won forty-three and
lost sixty-six, !ealng them a percentage
for these games of .391. Cincinnati for last
ear had n percentage of .302. So did St.
l.ouls In a tie for last place. So, In spite of
the fact that tne Giants won forty-three
games In forty-three starts out of two wild
dashes, for two-thirds or the jear they
skidded along at the same clip maintained
by tho Cardinals and Beds.
In nil the span of baseball there has
neer before been such an erratic turn.
Kor a tlub to smash nil records for con-
hecutUe victories and still play at a tall
end clip more thon two-thirds of the season
Is at least fairly close to something "new
beneath the sun."
You say this may be due to the fact that
the (Hants had quite a different line-up at
the finish.
On the other fin, take the roster of their
thirty-two games, where the same cast of
ficiated. I'rom the first fifteen of these
they icon two and lost thirteen. Of the
last seventeen they, won each start.
Who, in his prime. Is or was, the greatest
heavyweight? In a discussion the other
night our selection was Jim Jeffries. An
other picked Jack Johnson, A third se
lected Jess Wlllard. At the end of forty
scen minutes the only proof established
was that all three were heavyweights, The
main trouble' Is that great fighters never
seem to meet In their prime. Corbett
knocked out Sullivan when John Ij. was
Quivering on the edge of senescence1. Jef
fries beat Fits when Robert the Ited was
far beyond his prime. Johnson knocked out
Jeffries when Jeff was but a Bhell of the
"troglodltlc behemoth" that used to be. And
when Wlllard beat Johnson the Zulu im
presario had left his prime many leagues
behind. Hence, when one dives Into an argu
ment along these improbable lines, the citi
zen with the loudest Intonation and the
greatest Btamlna usually wins. It is gen
erally admitted that Fits, poung for pound,
was the greatest piece of fighting machinery
extant. But If some non-combatant desires
to ward this signal honor to Kid Lavlgne
or Joe Gans, there is nothing to be dono

Speaking of statistics ice spent an en
jaable rvcnlng a few weeks ago lamping
golf scores in championship tournaments
for the last fourtien years provltii; nnlii
that it takes all varieties of folks to make
up this merry and mottled little world.
It was Inteicstlug to note, for example,
that In the last ten years It has icqulred
105 for thlrty-slx holes, an average of 82 4
to tho round, to qualify for the amateur
championship.
Yet, there nre any number of golfers who
could nevor qualify In an nmatour cham
pionship who consider 82 at least four
strokes worse than their so-called "game."
"The Thlllles," observes Colonel Hugh S.
Kullerton, "haven't much of a ball club,"
On the other hand, we should say that
drover Cleveland Alexander was one of
the best little ball clubs we have ever seen.

MILITARY DRILL AGAIN
?! a Staff Corrc3inmlcilt
JACKSON VILLI:, Kla., March 15. Pre
ceded by the regular military drill, members
of the Mack squad settled down to baseball
affairs as the htat of the morning sun again
beat down on the players. Sergeant Smart,
who by this time has become more thor
oughly acquainted with each Individual,
spent the entlro fdrcnoon watching tho men
In baseball practice.
After the shoit baseball session, which
was sandwic'nd between drill and luncheon,
several nf thu Athlctics's players remained
in the shade of the palms near the club
house. Mike Price, who was at one time a
life guard and custodian of a string of bath
houses at Coney Island, served cold lunch
on the massaging tnble. On the exterior of
tho house were many of the rookies going
through setting-up exercises. John and Tom
Shlbe nnd Albert Crump, a guest, have taken
tho military drill im n mcins hv which in

Ccitaln pins era lounged n trifle too long
In the sun during luncheon hour, nnd as n
result fell asleep. Ccncial Mack put his
men through the usual paces this morning
nnd appeared pleased to see Thrasher In
the regular squad. Thrasher made his first
nppearance of tho season this morning,
having attached his name to a contract last
night. Tho heavy-hitting outfielder will
likely land n regular berth before any
length of time, as he appears to bo In fine
Physical condition. He has been spending
the winter at his home in Madison, Ga.
Mack was further pleased by the manner
In which certalp twlrlers worked. The
pitching of Southpaw Walter Anderson this
morning pleased the crowd more than ever.
It looks as though this young man of nine-"
teen years will remain for the season This
partly solves the pitching problem, the only
obstacle between Connie Mack and another
