It is seldom La Grande has the op

She sang. "The Sunshine of Your
Smile" and "Can't Yo' Heah Me
Callin' Caroline" with good expression
and finish.
Miss Stedman expects to bo out on
her tour about ten weeks. She started
in Portland, had been in Seattle,
where she appeared at the Coliseum,
and now is going to Spokane to sing
at the Clemmer theatre. She will
then make several .cities in California

Phone Red 3171 Cross Track H. B. Harris, Prop.
BY H. C. HAMILTON
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
New York, July 23. 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.

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.

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. Darcy wanted to
