A good dash of fortune, scrambled in with the real ability that is evident is as much re sponsible as anything else in the suc cess of John J. McGraw. Touted a wonder as a baseball man ager, it is doubtful if McGraw would be able to produce the same results that have characterized the efforts of several other big league managers if he didn't have the wealth of his back ers to draw from, leaving him free to choose at will from among hundreds of bull players. The cases of Eddie Rousch and Dick Rudolph are perhaps the most predom- jinant. Rousch is near the top among National league batsmen. Rudolph is Bostons most effective pitcner and was one of the main reasons why the Braves were able to battle. their way to a National league championship and a subsequent world s championship. Both these men once were Giants. Rousch was kept mainly doing bench duty, .while Rudolph senrcely got that far. Milton Stock is another example; Fred Merkle is a fair idea of a ball player discarded as a has-been, and new glory, had stopped him short Feeling grieved over the unexpected turn in the reception given him, Dar cy determined to go home. Cast out of the minds of fight-lovers in the United States, he then dis covered that Australia had no place for the man who fled just two days before a vote was taken on conscrip tion of all its men. News of his turn ing against Tim Sullivan also reached Australia, and, although Sullivan was in the same boat with Darcy, it helped him lose some of. the friends who had stuck persistently by him. Baker's failure to answer at once, or the usual delay in post service be tween Australia and this country prob ably disheartened Darcy, for he short ly afterward enlisted in the United States aviation corps, another blow to his supporters in Australia. Commenting on Darcy's death the Argus failed to lose any of its orig inal bitterness against the man who had been upheld as the most glorious figure in Australia's sporting life, not even excepting tho famous Anthony F. Wilding. Regret was expressed that Darcy had been unable to show the United States his prowess. That was the only regret expressed by this pnper, save the publishing of a brief interview with Snowy Baker. WOOD and COAL Prompt Service MACK'S EFFORTS GAINING RESPECT BY H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, July 21. More and more the efforts of Connie Mack, silent leader of the Athletics, are gaining respect among the big leag' uers. The prediction made by him self when he began to whittle off the stars with which he had won several world's championships, that ho would be back in the race by 1917, has not been realized, but he has succeeded in making the name Philadelphia once more one to be feared in the Ameri can league, Discussing Mack and his newly made team recently, Bill Donovan said that he would rather play almost any club in the league than send his men into a contest against the Mackmen. "They won't win any pennants this year," Donovan commented, "but they're going to fight mighty hard for every game they go into. From this time on they're going to improvo. I'm a mighty mistaken student of this n.finnnl Twiatimn if the Athletics ore who is doing great work. There are not foum, kicking considerable dust many others. McGraw has cast them aside to make room for men he thought would dobetter with the men making up his team. He has been successful in winning pennants and has to his credit one world's cham pionship, but if he would gather the stars he has let slip from his grasp and form them into one team the chances are he would have a machine that would be able to crush the pres ent galaxy of stars with which he is .trying to fret his way to a pennant. A little more than a year ago Mc Graw set out to gather in 'a surplus of stars' with which he threatened to make a runaway race of the National league pennant. Among the3e was Hans Lobert. Lobert didn't even finish the season and is used now on ly as a pinch hitter. McGraw consid ers him finished, yet it is only a brief stretch of time since he went into a breach and won a game for the Gi ants by the brilliance of his fielding and hitting. It is one thing to have money be hind and still another to be able to build a championship team. PINED FOR AUSTRALIA BEFORE HE DIED nround before the end of the 191 campaign gets here." Donovan figures and so does evsry other baseball monager who has had a glimpse of him that 'Ray Bates is one of the finest players the minor leagues have yielded in many a day He also believes Witt the equal of any shortstop in the American league, with the possible exception of Roger Peckinpnugh, his own short fielder. Second base is a problem, but Mcln nis is fully the equal, perhaps the su perior of any man doing first base duty. . "There isn't a thing wrong with that outfield of Connie Mack's, Dono van ruefully remarked. "I only wish I had a pair of those birds working for me, I might have a chance to win a pennant before he makes the going so rough.'' Where is the manager who wouldn't like to have Bush Myers and Noyes pitching for him; and where, oh, where can you find a big leaguer who wouldn't spend several thousand dol lars for Wallie Schang. The foundation has been built for another fine baseball team in Phila delphia. Managers and baseball men everywhere believe it is due.

One Block East of Depot Phone Main 10 Les Darcy, the Australian pugilist, realized with all his heart every mis take he had made and longed for one more chance to do the proper thing in Australia. The Sydney Argus, representing one of the best sports circulation in the island continent, declared recently that Snowy Baker, the Australian promoter, had received a letter from Darcy asking that steps be taken to make it comfortable for him if he should return.
