EAGLES, MONROE WIN OPENERS Monmouth awl Monroe high t.rhoolH NturtPil th“ soft-ball baseball season Friday afternoon'with victories over Pleasant Mills ami Kirkland. Both games were in t testing and drew good-sized crowds. The Ragles shut out Pleasant Mills by a count of 9-0. Fleming nffd Hrekaw form d the winning batte;y and Merrlman and Raudenbusli were the losing battery. Catcher Brokaw knocked out a home run in the sixth inning for Monmouth. Monroe finally eked out a win over Kiikland high school soft ball artists in the final inning by a score of 9-8. Both teams battled bitterly for the opening game and the score seesawed hack and forth throughout the title. At times it appeared as if Kirkland would sew up the scrap but the Monroe team finally won. The games were the first of a five-game series planned by the four schools to be played before the basketball season opens. Many | good games are anticipated. i o • ♦ | BASEBALL BRIEFS | ♦ ♦ With Brooklyn and St. Louis l swinging back into action today, all! four first division teams In the|i National league opened the drive j I down tlie home stretch. Although :1 p nnant hopes are still faintly en-1 twt.a nfid by the Cardinals and I (Hants, the Cubs seem to have the National league flag about clinch i *«t despite their recent slump, and the mafn battle threatens to be between the Cards, Giants and Robins for second place. Even though the Cubs lost their fifth game in the last seven played yesterday, they still retained a 4 game lead over their nearest rival, the Cardinals. Paul Waner’s home run in the ninth enabled the Pirates to beat the Cubs, 8-7, overcoming a six run handicap in the last three innings. The New York Giants lost their j third straight game to the Boston Braves, 64. and dropped to third place 4% games behind the Cubs and half a game behind the idl Cardinals. After three open dates in a row Brooklyn was scheduled to resume play today against the Phillies. Five and a half games behind the Cubs, Brooklyn’s highest hope is to land second place. The Philadelphia Athletics held their 6!6 game lead over Washing ton yesterday by beating the Boston Red Sox, 5-1, George liar ns haw pitching liis 21st victory. A1 Simmons connected for his 34th home run with a mate on base. Washington pounded out a 14-5 victory over the New York Yankees, giving the Senators 17 games out of 21 played against the Yankees. It is the worst record the Yanks have made against any club s nee 1912 when the Boston Red Sox won 20 out of 22 games. Babe Ruth hit his 45th homer of the season, leaving him one behind Hack Wilson for the major league load. Pete Jablonowski held the White Sox to four hits, Cleveland defeating Chicago. 6-1.

Now York, Sept. 6—John McGraw, the most famous and successful of all big league baseball managers, lias just signed a fivevoar contract to manage the New York Giants at $75,000 annually—'ho same sum a man named Her- . bort Hoover receives for acting as President of the United States. W th Connie Mack of the Phila- ' delphta Athletics, McGraw has outlnstP'i all rival managers and play- ' °rs. Mack has been managing the r 'imker City outfit since 1901. McGraw took the kelm of the famous 1 Gotham team 25 years ago. OUTSTANDING FIGURES Under McGraw, the Giants have j “an'iired ten pennants and three j 1 ••-cbi championships.

The illustrious “Muggy” had not been traveling with his team this last few weeks because of illnesfs. His absence from the scenes of action started the storv circulating among tii# fans of other cities, j 1 For years Muggy McGraw has I been one of the most eccentric • figures of the National Game.

big stars. There are few. if any, recruits in the big leagues today who ret less than that. PAYS FOR THE BEST Jehu McGraw was the first manager to use important money av a factor In w'nning ball games. When he paid the then record price of $11,060 for Rube Marquard. other managers and hall magnates said he was crazy.—no pitcher particularly a left-hander was worth that much to any team. McGraw has had under his manaceo’ent som° of the best players of all time. Amos Rusie. Christy Vathewßon, Rogers Hornsbv, Joe ltlcOinity and Larry Dovle and many other satellites of the first magnitude took orders from “Muggsv’’ at one ('me or other in their brilliant careers.

If he doesn’t the rebel soon finds himself on the roster of some other club. MOULDER OF STARS McGraw lias never been known is a developer of great hall players. That distinction falls to Connie Mack. th° oldest veteran of the rival American League. About fifteen years aeo Mack, whose r°al name is McOlllicuddv, deliberately broke up the greatest team of modern times. With its famous SIOO,OOO ir.field — Stuffy Mclnnis. Eddie Collins. Jack Rarrv and Frank (Home Run) Raker — had won four pennants in successsion and annexed three world championships. Philadelphia tired of its unmatchable skill. The Quaker City fans would not flock to the Athletics' hell park in sufficient numbers to pay the team a satisfactory profit. Mack sold most of his stars and started to slowly build up another great team from raw recruits. It took years but the Athletics finnally came through and Mack found himself again directj inr 'lie destinies of a team in the world's series. ] cedented progress and the highway funds were not available fast enough to make payments on completed projects.

Asked why folk songs live hund- . reds.of years while Tin Pan Alley [ tunes live but a day, the pianist said i .he folk songs are spontaneous in- • stlnctive expressions of the exper- .! .cnees and emotions of a race.
