By TOMMY CLARK. Tor tbe Inst year or two fans and Clitics linvo been banding bouquets to Fred Clarke of the Pirated. Frank Chance of the Cub. Hugbey Jennlug of the Tigers nn 1 Connie Mack of the Athletics tut their great managerial ability and their wonderful aucceas In keeping their teams In the thickest of the pennant lights year after yenr. While all four are cull tied to nil tbe notion that bare Leon bestowed on them, still there is one other baseball pilot who la entitled to be placed In the game's ball of fame, and be hi johnny McGraw of tbe New York Nationals.- . ' For tht last few yenrs McGraw has beeu at the bclm of a team that Is not equal lu strength In any department to the Cuba or Pirates, yet be baa mautged to keep the Giants in the thickest ef the pennant fights. This year Is no exception. There are no medals on tbe team that McGraw la trying to pilot to the top of the race tbla season, but be Is right on tbe heels of tbe Cuba and Pirates. Now look over tbe .team carefully and, you will wonder how be bas been able to keep It so high up In the race. Take the backstopptng department, for Instance. It does not compare with the Pirates' or Cub In any m ay. ' Schlel or Myers does not class with Kling, Archer or Gibson. Schlel Is too old and Myers too erratic. Point out one great tar In the infleld. Merklo on first la not crackerjack. Doyle on . aecond makes more costly errors' than any other second stationer. Bridwell la only a fair shortstop.: Derlln at third la about tbe beat of the lot, and he la oa tba toboggan. . After looking over the Infleld, gase on the outer garden. Can you find a Cobb to tt? I guess not McOraw bas tba waakeat toft fielder In tba National league In "Josh" Devore. In center be baa Saodgrass, formerly a catcher. Tba latter la doing fairly well, but la far from being star.. la right Murray plays a good game, but does not clasa with any of the cracks. Take McGraw'a pitching staff. Learlag out Christy Matbewson, wbere are bta stars? Itube Marquard, tbe fll,WO beauty, Is a counterfeit. Ames lacks control; ap does CrandalL and D rucks needs more experience. Wlltee la good, but owing to bis frail build be to at his best when worked only every fire days. Of course there's Bugs Raymond, who la still on the pay roll, but b .1. ueeleaa. inrealjty.. McGraw

Boston, Miss., Aug. 11. "Ty Cobb

will not play with Detroit while Davy Jones is on the team," was the glaring headline upon a telegram from Detroit which appeared in the local papers last week. ' . "One reason why Hans Wagner la the greatest player the game lias ever known is because he is so different in disposition from the average star," declared a veteran Pittsburg player, , iq discussing the Detroit team. "Every once in a while some other player gets into the limelight through a lot of stolen bases, a high batting average or a streak of sensational fielding, but Hans leaves them all behind. Of course be cannot keep this up forever, as age will tell in time, but I never saw him better than he was at Philadelphia last Friday and here Saturday. "But it is his disposition and not his ball playing that I started to talk about. Most stars like to dictate and want advantages pot enjoyed by the less brilliant members of the team, but Hans is not that way. I , will wager a month's salary that as long as be has been with Clarke he has never presumed to make a suggestion. As for hunting the scalp of a fellow player, no one who is acquainted with the big fellow would ever suspect him of that trick. Another common fault of the most successful and most lauded players is to Ignore the newcomers. Wagner is just the opposite, for he is always ready with a word of advice for the young recruit, as Jacsk Miller, Flynn, McKechnie. Kirb White and many others will gladly admit. "Wagner differs from the usual run of stars in another way. He shuns publicity instead of seeking it. No one ever sees him around tbe corridor of a hotel, excepting at meal time, and no one ever hears a word of com plaint about him. It Is for all these reasons I insist that Wagner is still the greatest ball player, for his actions off the field and his policy of minding bis own business increase bis value to a club, giving him a higher rating than some of the younger men, "Cobb Is a great ball player, but no one can tell him that his frequent differences with bis teammates do not hurt the Detroit club as a whole."

TWO MAR

By Frederick Nwem

fT may Interest ycu to bear bow I I met a namesake of mine, one ' whose name. X believe, will, cherished In quiet hearts, here and there, long after he and I a ra but two bandfula of dust He waa a maker of healing songs, and I but a masteries footpad. Strange what men rub shoulders on this quaint planet! , And awe-inspiring hew Time set things rlghtl I, who bar lived on spoliation of my , fellows, am Ilk to keep the sheep by moonlight, and he. who had so hard a life, one way or another, and whoae very greatness of .heart caused him to be maligned and misjudged by leaser men, bath, dying, put on lmmortality, a parson say, but not aeparson meant But for my story, which is, despite this preamble (In which you hear, as It were. the. sad sound of a passing bell), a gay enough story, in which no passing belle wag. but blue bells waver In a blue Summer. Yes, It was Bummer, and a prosperous season for me and my colleagues, for tbe civil troubles and the Scots war gave us plenty of scope. I was Rowing dainty In my choice of lent, and would often Inflate my chest like some pouter pigeon and brag of my secret heart that I should never again hold up any man unleaa he bore a title. And Indeed I ofteu (I mind) ruminated the possibility of holding up old Noll himself, which waa a kind of bye-word among the fraternity. "Fear! I would cry 'Stand and deliver to the Protector himself!" So aald the braggarts. But this Is to tell, not of the Protector, but of another. He wa a man ef greatness enough to hold his head sufficient high and yet not overarrogant, and to retain a clear vision when moat men were given up to party cries; be could see what waa aeble la tbe King my King, good enough King (or me, I ask none better; be could see what waa well-intentioned In tbe Protector, for which 1 respect him; though to me old Noll was too ponderous In his black morality He waa on equal terms with the great lords and ladiea. . with captalna, colonels and statesmen. Lord! I see him still, with Ma bezel eyea and hla foreign grace. - Tbe stir recently made by Lord Fairfax In tbe first war, and his refusal t go against the Scot, and the nam be bad la hi countryside tempted me too strongly to be resisted, baring a seat for tackling celebrities; tbe Izt of August. 1651. found me awaiting . his passage - on tbe London road, Information of which I had received from a little doxy,' fa my lord service. A tbe saying, la, There are tricks in all trade," and a man with a pleasing exterior can laara deal frees, maid servant regard big her meats- goings tad comlnga, arm U h kaow.

as I in this case, that the sweet young thing accepts his advances solely . to awaken Jealousy . In the bosom of my lord's butler, 'and ao bring him to a speedy proposal. But that being the dirty side of this profession of Stand and Deliver, I do but touch on It A wink Is as good as a nod; and you can conjecture how I came by my knowledge of my lord' expected movements without me going Into detaila of my philandering with that foolish virgin. After all. her Information was wrong; for though I waited naif tbe nlgnt In a dusky hollow, never a glitter of my lord's chaise lampa showed upon the hillcrest In these changeful Summers of our glorious England, you never know what tbe weather la to be; and, upon my word, there was almost a nip of frost that night, which sent me at last In an ill humor to aeek the solace of a sanded Ian. with a kindly glint of candles in the pewter pots and in the eyes of the serving maid. I had made the South too hot for me. and was determined to do my best to make Yorkshire likewise. -Perhaps my. lord will come tomorrow night; for since be cannot come now, at tbla late hour, something un looked for haa delayed blm." So I waa thinking to myself as 1 sat by the table over a cold chicken, a cucumber salad and a hot toddy, and I smiled as I heard a fragment of tbe servlug-Iass'a talk with an amorous lad who waa spending hia evening and his earning part drinking a'.s and part ogling the -reneh. "Oh, no," says she. "I could not go a-walklng to-morrow evening. Tls the thirteenth, and I never go a.walklng on tbe thirteenth.' "Why?" saya he. "Tla unlucky, said she. And there you are Tbe thing waa settled. Now, If I have any superstition at all. It Is to run In tbe teetb of every superstition; and somehow, at thee overheard words, the 111 humor left me. "Here's to tbe thirteenth! says L "And may my Lord Fairfax come to consider it an lnaucplcious day to travel up to town. Well, you shall hear what the thirteenth brought me. Firstly, then it brought me my lord's chaise, bowling along tbe road a matter of "v yards ahead of the . mail, and behind the mail waa another chaise, so there was no sense In a single man, with a neck made but of the ordinary stretchable material, doing aught bnt pretend be had baited his horse in tbe birch copse merely tbat he. might die. mount to tighten girths. As I told yoi this tale goes to light music songs of bird and scents of Summer.

man with a loose rein and bis bead i nted up (a fine, square face be had, with a kind of a foreign grace In it). I marked him for my prey. . There was a look as of rapture on his countenance, he drinking In the Summer, and. looking Into tbe glitter overhead to discover tbe mounting larks. Such mundane affairs as footpada and their pistols were far from his mind when be came suddenly upon me, Just as 1 bad 'swung to Jezebel's ba' . She baa a way always of fldgettlng off when I mount, a trick I do not resent, fer there Is something aklttiah In it and I would not break ber spirit Tis a crushing enough world, this, for man and beast.

I atuck my iron suddenly into bis ribs, and said I affably: "A' good afternoon, sir, and I shall trouble you to disgorge.' Tbe sky-gasln look went from bis face, which frowned upon me, and t-40 strong Jaw tightened, .1 pressed the point of tbe iron Into bis ribs as I saw I bad held up one who was n coward Most persons take a twittering of nerves when they find themselves in this position, but my black-a.vlaed gentleman with the brown loeke did not There was Just a quick Intake of bis breath, and then thla frown of which I tell, as though he cast aside , from bis mind delight in larks' song and Summer sun, and gathered bis will to face tbe sordid and disgusting present The actualities are always sordid, and only our fancies make life Joyous, When be looked clean Into my -eye and smiled grimly.

He put his hand In each pocket In turn, emptying the contents and heading them over, and leaving each pocket lining protruding as proof of hi straight dealing with tbe death X car rled. in my fist He had. but little money, after all, though the thing he had. other than money, were unusual, and I found my own resolve weakening at an early stage of bis disgorging. First he handed over what of course, he knew 1 most craved bis gold. and. as I say, turned out the pocket lining. I nodded toward an inner pocket, and from this be drew forth a bundle of papers, which' he held in his left hand long enough to pull out the lining with his right - .There is no money there," aald be, "as rou see;" and be made to thrust the papers back again. "Come, come!" aald L "What are the papers?" - They are purely personal,'' said be, "and of no monetary value." But Just at tbat I noticed - how among the sheaf of parchments wa a roll of paper, a small packet - -Wha to la the packetr I asked. ta ' t -. -

dlcatlng It with a frowning brow, such as. I habitually wear, by way of Intimidation when pursuing my calling. He opened the covering for my Inspection, very reverently, and with a look on bis face as of a man who thinks, -"After all, why be ashamed?" Said he: : 2 r " Tls a lock ef hair." . .' "Aha!" aald I. "A sweet wench. I doubt pot . My compliments." -1But he showed no flash of anger, at my raillery, as one might look for in such a man when bearing bis mistress spoken of by a footpad. "Nay." said he, in a voice as if speaking to himself. This is a lock Of Milton's hair.? I n - v "Oh!" said L "Old Noll's secretary." He made a wry face, . "Well yes." said he; "In a manner of speaking, yes; and yet it is not so mueh a lock of the secretary's hatr as a lock of the hair of blm who wrote" And he spouted some words with an amazing fine sound, of which I but remember somewhat like this: "But not to me returneth day, nor the sweet approach of eve." For, though the words sounded amazingly on this man's tongue, it gives me the falling sickness to so mueh as search for . them In the words of thla Milton. "Oh!" I said. "Poet was he?" v He looked upon me, under that deep brow, and hia nostril curled. "Yes." aald he, "which is a greater matter than being secretary to" "To a fat ponderous, sober-sides! A spoilsport!" I cut in. My client at my words, gave a chuckle of : silent laughter. Be seemed to have forgot the pistol In hi rlba. f T am no great hand on poets," aald I. "Playwrights I have some taste for at times, especially when they voice my own Intimate thoughts and bring them' home to me better than I can voice them, as when Hamlet eon siders whether to tarry here, or to end all." . So I said, but I made no attempt on my site to mouth the lines, for this man was clearly my master at that.' I think he bad forgot all about the pistol by then.
