UNCLE SAM
LEAGUE DIRECTORS PACE SERIOUS
SITUATION IN REOPENING M'GRAW
CASE AT SPORT SCRIBES' BEHEST
Facts Dodged by New York Manager in Saving
Himself Sure" to Come Out Affronting
Press of Country Also Involved
tpHE McOraw case Is to be reopened tomorrow, and tlicre Is natural speculation
as to what will be done as a result of disclosures o be made by the repudiated
newspaper men, There is no doubt whatever as to what the result of their evi
dence isto be. They will prove beyond a doubt that McOraw authorised the
statements reflecting upon President Tener. Just as they would have done had
they been heard when the decision In the case was handed down without ques
tion or Investigation of bqth sides.
The former hearing accepted the McOraw version and tho newspapor men
Were summarily handed the buck and made tho goat. They gratuitously and
automatically were branded as prevaricators, and now when they get the truth
before the directors what Is to be done? Will It merely "close tho Incident" again
"for tho good of tho sport" or will McOraw be made to tako his modlclno? Some
body was to blame, and that somebody wan McOraw. Kverybody knows that. He
said the things about Tener. and what are tho leuguo president and his directors
going to do when the burden Is actually shlftod from tho newspapor men and on
to the onco militant Mugggy? And how will they square themselves with the
papers of the country If thoy fall to act according to the facts?
Whichever way the cat Jumps, however, McOraw is president, general mana
ger and board of directors of the In Had Club. There would seem to be no doubt
that he figured that tho way to get by without being thrown out of the league
or his Job was to lmposo upon tho good fellowship of the New York writers, and
If they nro now to present the facts which ho essayed to dodgo and thereby save
himself, why will these facts now not have the result originally sought to bo
Avoided by repudiation?
rpHERB aro some who fall to sympathize with the Ootham scribes In
-- their troubles, for they have fought McOraw's battles so long and do
fended his practices so stunchly that they have made their own bed
uncomfortable for themselves.
The Weil-Known "Break of the Game" Was There
"ITTITH the going virtually tho samo In hitting and Melding, the muchly over
"' worked "break of tho gamo" was well In evidence yesterday to prove that
Hughey Kullcrton, O. HIce and others who go to the psychology early and often
nro not always mistaken. The vctorau principle was "there" yesterday In that Ilrat
game nnd the Thlls grabbed tho game because they were In command of tho enld
break,
Tho high spots In aforesaid "break"' were a psychological liaso on balls and blows
from the clubs of Messrs. Cravath and Whittcd that ucre nice and lucky, but always
Jnlghty keen and orthodox baseball when In favor of tho home team. And thoro
were the Incldontal trimmings. Stock got tho psychological walk, whereupon
Gavvy Cravath, who had been nblo to hit nothing but tho atmosphere In two
previous attempts, hit a high one to extreme right that got up In tho altltudlnous
currents. Wllholt had a long wait for it to como down, but Instead of Its falling
In tho spot whero he had been roosting against the wall for a long while, It landed
gainst the rail effect and right at tho foul line.
And then the big, post-graduato psychology. Whltted dubbed a foollsh-looklnG
little air shot to right that tho right fielder or second either should have easily
grabbed. Kvcrs played the ball In a way that seemed to Indicate that he was afraid
of bumping Into Wllholt and finally punched at It with his gloved hand ntid Judy's
also psychological sacrifice fly to Magce settled the old game then and there.
rpHINQS wero In a swing by this time and this point, the profound
-- psychology workers tells us, call for some more hitting, tho samo being
duly attended to by Xlehoff, KUlefur, Alex and Itancroft In hectic succession.
Dannu and Rabbit Are Nifty Contrasts as Form Artists
AS FORM stylists, the work of Danny llancroft nnd Rabbit Maranvllle offers an
XJL interesting study from real life. As shortstop Interpreters, both aro head
liners, but their way of going about things may be said to he opposing. Barmy has
the accepted form and gets tho results and Itabblt gets the results without tho form
stuff. Tho local shark operates according to Hoyle, but tho Boston mentor conforms
to Mr. Maranvllle's well-known lack of system.
Bancroft moves with the case of a bounding deer. Ills action spells grace
and finish Is written all over his efforts. And his throw Is as graceful and stylish as
aro his general movements. Ho brings every part of his body Into harmonious
Unison, as tho form artists say.
Tho diminutive Boston shortstop moves with speed and apparent ease, but not
With eace. Ho doesn't glide along Ilko one dancing, not at all. He doesn't glide at
all. He Jumps with an uneven motion Just like his celebrated namesake. He throws
apparently with only the lowor part of his arm nnd he seems to catch a fly ball be
tween his knees Just after ho has finally decldod to lot it lilt tho ground. Youfeel
that ho Is going to fool you every time and let the ground try for the putout.
TUT both get tho results and that's what counts In the box score and In
- tho salary slip. And working together they almost compel a study In
contrasts.
Collegians Refine Baseball and Now Go After Wrestling
SOME years back baseball was considered a rough-neck pastime. Most of the
players were low-brows, chewed tobacco, took their Ice cream raw, said "I got
It" and retired Into tho naloon business. The easy money In tlmo attracted tho
collegians, especially those who needed funds that would enable them either to
complete an education or to get a stake for an opening In a slow profession.
So that baseball now Is a refined bport. Every team has Its quota of genuine
high-brows and tho reparteo of tho bench nnd hotel lobby Is very much that of tho
drawing room that Is, excepting at times. Unkind remarks occasionally still aro
directed at the umpires, but tho.10 to Indulging generally smite when they say
them, thus showing that their observations are not to be taken too literally. On
the whole, It must bo admitted that tho cntranco of the collegian has been orna
mental and elevating to the sport. Kverybody says so.
And now tho "colleglums" threaten another sport supposed to have been
Immune to cultural Influences. Up to this tlmo "Doctor" Holler was the only
wrestler who showed educational signs. Tho rest of tho bunch wero off the farms
or gut of the coal mines, tho bollor factories or tho blacksmith shops. When the
younger Zbysiko-mul Stranglcr Lewis went to the mat In Boston yesterday two
real collego fellows aro reported to have tied up In tho grappling game. Tho for
eigner is declared to be a. graduato of the University of Warsaw, while Lewis was,
a few years back, prominent In football and general athletics at the UnUtrslty of
Kentucky.
FnOM the way the thing appears to be breaking, college men may be
expected erelong In prize-fighting. Interesting speculation :a iug
gested as to Just how far tho cultural touch might affect tho gentle art
of knocking the hloomln' block off a fellow human.
Woman Proves Apt Pupil as Football Student
SOME years back tho coach of a football team in Arkansas the State where
players get their rudlmental training In the game by chasing the pigskin in
its natural state was "taken sick," and his wife, who had Imbibed an extensive
knowledge of tho sport from her spouse, proceeded to fill out the unexpired term
and grab the salary balance. Her enforced entrance Into tho coaching ranks was
upposed to be the only real case of the kind "on record."
Now, however, we are told that u young southern girl has taken up the
work of preparing to coach at football as well as other sports, and is proving a
most apt pupil of the summer school of coaching conducted by Athletic Director
John It. Bender, of the University of Tennessee. Miss Julia Corliss is the aspiring
lady in question and she halls from Ty Cobb's neighborhood down in "Oeorgy."
Bhe is stated to be taking the full course of instruction offered In football, base
' ball,, track work and basketball.
Coach Bender Is greatly Impressed with the eagerness and Intelligence of his
novel pupil, who proposes to utilize her knowledge for the benefit of students of
her home town, La Orange, In speaking of her work he said; "She has the
energy and pep that the real coach; must possess to turn out athletes, and I am
proud of her."
THOSE who have practiced the habit of taking lady friends to baseball
and football games will be prominent anjong those indorsing Miss
Corliss's unique and brave ambition,
Harvard Gridiron Heroes Prove Heroes Indeed
HARVARD mon are pointing with Just pride to the patriotic record of its sons
In general and Its athletes in particular in rushing to Uncle Sam's colors In
the determination to put the can ,to the Kaiser. Every gridiron captain for the
last six years is now in some branch of the service, while a seventh Is on the
expectancy list
Percy Wendell, captain of 1912, is a sergeant In the Second Massachusetts In
fantry! Storer, 1913, is in the officers' reserve corps at Plattsburg; Charlie Brlckley
At with the Harvard Infantry troop; Mahan is with the marines, and Dedman, last
season' leader, is In France with the American ambulance field service. R. L.
Fisher, 1911 captain, will soon be enrolled in the naval reserves, and Bill Wheeler,
next year's captain-elect, la with the naval reserves, being an ensign on the
patrol boat Talofa.
Eddie Mahan, 1915 hero and one of Harvard's greatest heroes, Is now In this
city training to be a real soldier of the seas and pitched a ball game yesterday.

He rarely starts off at top speed;
In fact, his legs arc often tangled;
And there arc other times, indeed,
When everything ho docs is jangled;
Hut though he flounders out tho slope
With uivkwat dncss that won't diminish,
You'll find, on looking up the dope,
They rarely hook him at the finish.
Uneven? Yes, as any rhyme,
And although moving on, intently,
Ha seems to waste a lot of time,
And does to btcnk it more than gently;
And though at times, through awkward fits,
He seems to have, no thought of winning,
He has a knack of hunching hits
lief ore they reach the final inning.
A queer old duck, our Uncle Sam,
Now busily pot-hunting Junkers;
For form he doesn't give a whoop,
So long a 8 he can clear tho bunkers;
His style may be a trifle rough,
And though he seems to movo by inches,
The old boy's got a lotta stuff

REGULAR TRAPSHOOT TO

New Plan Inaugurated With BO-Target

of Camden
The local transhootlng brigade will have
a regular midweek shoot from today on

Club, of Cramer HIM. Camden, has listed
Thursday afternoon as a regular date for
Its trap event. '
This Is a welcome sign to the. local gun
ning clan, for ordinarily they had to wait
till Saturdays for their weekly fport. With
many of the clay target smashers on vaca
tions and many of whom can get an after
noon off a week, the midweek sport of the
Jersey club will ba the solution of a long
felt want.
Fifty targets per man will likely be the
card of the Camdenltes. The Htdeman
traps overlook the Delaware River and bel
ter shooting facilities could not be desired,
for the skyline affords excellent aid to
sighting the dashing targets, as they soar
from the traps.
