Graw Known as Shrewd Trader,
It must bo a pource of considerable
satisfaction to John McGrnw, manager
of the Giants, that his present cham
pion team Is mostly of his own build
ing and developing Individually and as
B strong whole The competent mana
gers can develop tho smooth and po

along until it Is of top notch caliber
Qnd ready to be 6hoved into a regular
place to keep up the speed of the team.
There la much more to McGraw's
high ability than tho Influence of Ills
personality to keep his men always
doing their best and his kocn eyo for
maneuvering, though for awhile these
were thought to be his entire stock In
trade. He has accomplished a good
deal by 6hrcwd trading for material ul
ready developed, but ho baa accom
plished moro through new material se
cured through scouts and by hlH own
expert handling of new men.
Merkle, Dovorc Snodgrass, Meyers,
Marquard, Shafer, Fletcher a good
part of his team all tbepe have made
their greatest Improvement, realized
their possibilities, under McGraw. Lar
ry Doylo was a pretty good ball player
when ho Joined the Giants, but was
made into a bettor ono, Shafer and
Fletcher were kept along on tho bench
for several seasons, but nlwnys imbib
ing knowlodgo, and when tho tlmo
came to make regulars of tln-m they
Jumped In and moro than flllod tho
places of those they succeeded. Much
that Dovorc knows about batting ho
learned from McGraw, who also
taught him how to make tho best uso
of his natural speed.
Chief Meyers was a lumbering nnd
Just an ordinary catcher when ho first
grist his fortujMjs with McGrnw and
was considered somctlung of a Joko
But McGrnw saw before anybody else
that Meyers not only had tho making
of a first class catclier, but was a won
flerful uutural hitter. Meyers at first
was weak on foul flies, but now ho Is
not only good on thorn, but Uio most
valuable backstop In basoball today.
It Is well known how Snodgrass was
made Into an outfielder and a helpful
run getting factor from a catcher;
how Marquard, under McGrawV tute
lage, when everybody elso was con
dcmnlng ldm, was transformed from
u lemon into a peach; how Mcrklo, an
bbscuro substitute during tho Tv'nney
days, was retained and when ho did
get his clianco developed rapidly Into
a crack first baseman. It was under
McGraw that neraog caroo Into promi
nent notice, and lie schooled Crandnll
until that pitcher became tho steady,
dependable workman he la. Mfttnow
Eon became famous under McGraw.
AH of which goes to e bow that Mc
Graw has made his own twin.
A
Disappointment
By MARGARET DARR
My Dear Helen I have something
to toll you which I am sure will in
terest you; besides, I wish your sym
pathy. I hove met with a disappoint
ment and a loss at tho samo time. Oh,
dear, what a world tills Is!
Hut 1 must not begin at tho wrong
end or there will bo no story.
We are expecting to go abroad next
autumn, to be absent nt least a year,
and I know no language except my
own native tongue and French. Since
we ore to spend the winter In Italy I
concluded to study the Italian lan
guage. In order to bo able to speak
It well enough to enter society, espe
cially In Home, where we have advan
tages In the way of Introduction, I con
cluded to tako lessons. I secured a
teacher who was born and educated In
Florence and a member of n good fam
ily there, so I could be sure that I
would get the language pure.
Having only n few months for study
In order to progress rapidly I deter
mined to engage an Italian maid. I
advertised for one and received a num
ber of replies. I called for several ol
them to come to see me, and after In
specting them all 1 chose one calling
herself Vlttoria. She told me her oth
er name, but I wns not interested In
that.
I chose Vlttoria because she seemed
to bo of so much higher grade than
the others and because my Italian
teacher, after talking with her, told mo
that she spoke tho languago with tol
erable correctness. Since this was all
I wanted her for I decided to give her
the position nt once. Clarlsse, you
know, is my personal maid, who at
tends me when I nm making my toilet,
does my hair and all that.
Well, I found Vlttoria quite valuable
to converse with. While I got noth
ing from her of the construction of the
language, the practice of talking with
her advanced me more rapidly than
my regular lesions. She spoke French
as well as Italian, and she and Clarlsse
became very good friends. You know
how nice it is to have servants who
get on well together. If they arc at
swords' points one has no comfort. Be
sides they divided the work very well
between them. Vlttoria would have
nothing to do with my toilet, nnd Clar
lsse had no reason to fear that the Ital
ian would become necessary to me.
The arrangement suited mo exactly.
The friendship between Clarlsse and
Vlttoria seemed to be continually grow
ing. It appeared that there must bo
some bond between them. I question
ed Clarlsse about it, but got no satis
faction. Then Clarlsse began to look
worried. Again I tried to get out of
her If there was anything on her mind,
but she would not tell me. Ono day 1
tried Vlttoria, asking her what was
the matter with Clarlsse. She told me
that Clarlsse had a lover. She had told
her (Vlttoria) about him nnd had Intro
duced him to her. Vlttoria took a
great dislike to him and advised Clar
lsse to have nothing to do with him.
Vlttoria also asked mo to say nothing
to Clnrisso about tho information she
had given me, for Clarlsse would cer
tainly regard it as a betrayal of con
fldence.
This seemed to me a very satisfac
tory explanation. Vlttoria after hav
lng Informed me of Claris se'e Infatua
tion and that she wns trying to Induce
her to give up an unworthy lover, made
no effort to conceal their Interest in
one another and once or twice they
asked to hare the same afternoon off,
This I granted, of course, wishing to
give Vlttoria every opportunity to ar
gue with Clarlsse against yielding to
a love that would likely turn out un
fortunately. I suppose it was very
selfish In me, but I have been so de
pendant on Clarlsse for so long that
to lose her through n marriage or from
any other causo would break my heart.
So matters drifted on. Ono after
noon I returned from a bridge party
and went to my room. It was Cla-1
rlsse's afternoon out A bureau drawer I
containing my Jewels hi use, which
I kept always locked, stood open and
tho Jewels gone. Suspecting that bur
glars had been In tho house, I rushed
to a closet where I kept an Iron box
containing my most valuable gems. It,
too, had been rifled. I called for Vlt
toria. She did not reply. Great hcav
ensl Whut did it mean? My Jewels,
worth many thousands of dollars, had
been taken, nnd my Italian maid, who
was expected to 1k close at hand when
my French maid wns absent, did not
answer when called.
In the midst of my confusion Clarlsse
came in. Wlien I showed her my
empty Jewel boxes I thought she would
faint I wus obliged to support her-
Sho tried to say something to me, but
her voice failed her.
"Never mind, Clarlsse," I said sooth
ingly. "I know what you would say.
Vlttoria has turned out to bo a thief.
Sho has deceived us both. Sho told
mo that you had a lover who waB un
worthy of you and elw was trying to
dlssundo you from him."
"Sho," repeatod Clarlsse, covering
her face with her liands. "Vlttoria is
a man."
"Great hcavenul"
"He confided his secret to inoj told
mo thut for love of mo ho had dressed
as a woman that ho might bo near me.
I knew I was wrong to listen to him,
but I did. My faith! What shall I
dor
now womon may bo hoodwinked by
men. I don't care eo much for the
Jewols, since I can buy those of later
stylo, but I am bo disappointed at los
ing my practlco In speaking Italian.

Jennings Not to Blame For Poor
Showing ot Detroit Team.
PLAYERS ABE ON DOWN GRADE.
Give Hughey a Good Ball Club and He
Will Make a Winner Out of It Takes
Time to Build Up Strong Team Oth
er Notes.
Dy TOMMY CLARK.
Owner Nnvln of tho Detroit team
seems to haTC changed his mlndancnt
Hughey Jennings, and he is out with
a statement that Jennings Is not to
blnme for the failure of tho Tlgors this
year. Most every ono familiar with
tho conditions wns aware of that fact
before Mr. Nnvln, and the story print
ed several weeks ago to the effect that
he was disgusted with his mauager
created tho impression thnt Nnvln was
not the baseball man that he had been
given credit for being.
Give Jennings some ball players and
ho will prove himself as good n man
ager as ever before. But without play
ers neither Jennings nor any other man
can have n winner. It requires a good
ball team to play good ball consistent
ly, and nil the brains nnd knowledge
cannot make a lot of weak players win
pennants.
Surely a manager Is not to be blamed
when a majority of his players start
on tho down grade and are unable to
deliver the goods. With a good ball
team Jennings has proved himself a
capable leader.
Al Palzcr looks like tho real thing in
white hopes today. In his fight with
Bombardier Wells In New York re
cently ho showed the fighting instinct,
which sends a man back for more
after ho has been punished. When
Wells scored n knockdown In the first

would have quit for tho evening satis'

outbox but outpunch him.
But nix on tho quit stuff for Pal
eer. Ho loves tho game and id stopped
only when unconscious. Bo too day ho
