REAL BOSS OF GIANTS
Responsibility Shifted on Former
Oriole Captain.
Wilbert Robinson Given Credit for
8uccss - of Rube Marquard and
Wonderful Showing of Mc
Graws Team This Season.,
' Wllbert Robinson, formerly back
atop of the Invincible Orioles, stands
today In the spotlight of fandom as
the most successful trainer In base
ball. Robbie Is responsible for the suc
cess of Rube Marquard, and as well
for the wonderful showing the Giants
have made this season and last. Most
of the honor goes to John McGraw,
manager of the famous New York
team, but If anything serious should
happen to the little Napoleon there is
little doubt that Robbie would step In
to his Bhoes.
The result of Robinson's success is
that he has been placed almost In en
tire charge of the team, McGraw elect
ing to witness each game from the side
lines, although all the work that once
burdened his shoulders has been
shifted to the Baltimorean. For his
share In keeping the team In trim Rob
bie draws down $150 a week, and he as
well Is entitled to a liberal percentage
of the receipts In every world series'
in which the Giants figure in he divi
sion. Robbie recently spent two days in
Baltimore.' In ah interview Robbie
stated that his duties are to work out
the players in morning practice, to se
lect the pitchers for each day, to de
cide when a twirler is to be taken out
and to work the signals from the
bonch.
"There Is no doubt in my mind
about the National league winning
this season," Robbie says. "We've got
the pennant cinched, and there will
be a new champion team of the world
when the big series of next fall is
over with. There is no secret to the
success of our team. It is the best
aggregation of players in baseball,
and there - is not a weak spot any
where. Team work figures largely in
the results, but that's what makes or
breaks any club, as without it no or
ganization can expect to meet witn
the unprecendented success that has
characterised our march so far this
season and the latter part of last."
MAKING GOOD AT FIRST BASE
Jack Miller Fills Big Gap In Pittsburg
Team by Clever Work at the
Initial Sack.
The Pirates have a better first base
knan this season than they' have had
In years. Jack Miller, who formerly
Hooked after the Keystone sack for the
Jack Miller, t
. Pirates, was moved over to first and
has done so well that he has been
made a permanent fixture there. First
base has long been a weak spot In th
Pittsburg . 1 line-up. Manager Fred
.Clarke figures that more than one pen
nant was lost to the Smoky City
through weakness at the initial sack.
The Pirates have been playing bet
ter ball lately than they .did in the
fore part of the season, and have
hopes of winding up in the first or sec
ond place, -.
Fromme Makes History.
Considerable history was made
when Art Fromme shut out the Giants
with one hit in Cincinnati. . It was
the first one-hit game in the National
this season; it was the second time the
Reds had beaten Mathewson this sea-
son and the first time on their own
grounds since 1908.
Browns Will Be Favorites.
In the coming fall series between
the Browns and Cardinals in St. Louis
conditions will be reversed in that the
Browns will be strong favorites on the
recent showing they have made in the
American league. The series will start
October 8 and seven games will b
played.
Star Pitcher Sold.
Albert Leak, who was considered
the star pitcher of the Central Kansas
league, was sold by Junction City fol
lowing the close of the league season.
to Traverse City of the Michigan State
league for $500. When not pitching.
Leak played the outfield for Junction
Clty because of his ability to hit.
Mrs. Brltton Makes Denial.
Mrs. Britton of the Cardinals denied
that she sought to trade Roger Bres
nahan to Cincinnati, says there la no
ill feeling and that Roger will be her
manager for yean to come. Just as hi
contract says.
Keep
Smiling
By Rev. FRANK
IT JS wonderful what you can do if you will only keep your chin up.
This is a strange world, and one of the strangest things about
it is the way it sympathizes with success.
We are supposed to sympathize with failure and grief, but we
don't.
I am going to tell you the truth about this naughty world, and the
truth is that whichever way you're going, up or down, people want to
help you along.
If you are going up we all want to boost; if you are going down we
all want to push. That is what we call sympathy.
You hear complaints that the fich are growing richer and the poor
poorer. That has always been the case, simply because it is human nature.
Society has always been organized to increase the wealth of the wealthy and
the power of the powerful; also to make the weak weaker.
There's no use whining about it. It is simply one of the flinty laws
of nature. The only thing to do with nature's laws is to adjust oneself
to them and not complain. ,
This might be .called the law of the inertia of prosperity.
You are guilty yourself. Whom do you want to see? . The man
everybody wants to see. And you read the book everybody's reading and
go to the store where it is "the thing" to go. . .
"Follow the crowds," says the advertiser, with the shrewd knowledge
of our makeup.
If yon have a hundred dollars ahead to whom do you want to hand
it? To the poor man who needs it? Not at all, but to the rich banker
who doesn't need it.
If I ask you for the loan of a quarter you will pass it over to me with
out a word if you think it is a trifling matter to me; but if you suspect I
really am in want and need the quarter to buy a little food with, thafs
quite another affair; you can't encourage that sort of thing; I should go
to the Associated Charities. ' .
Now, the way to use this law is to feign prosperity even if you have
it not. Keep your chin up.
Wear good clothes. Don't withdraw from the society of the prosper
ous. Look pleasant. ' Don't let yourself get down at the heel. Don't get
that poor beggar look on your face. ; . , ;
It isn't hj-pocrisy. It isn't pretense. It is sheer courage. It is let
ting the world know that while you live you propose to fight, and that like
old General Taylor you "don't know when you're licked."
' Keep smiling and an unfriendly universe will not know what to do
with you; so it will crown you. "
Says Alfred de Vigny: "All those that struggle against the unjust
heavens have had the admiration and secret love of men."
Fate is a bluff. Face her, defy her, and she will fawn on you.
Fate is cruel, but only to the quitter.

Let

Lonely
Misery
By JANE EaiCkSCN
Sacnacalo. Cal,
Did you ever get turned down? Then
you know what a delightful sensation it is. How would you like to have
that hideous experience, which has caused you much inward anguish; to
say nothing of humiliation, blared abroad to an unsympathetic public?
How would you like having to wear a button or a badge boldly dis
played on your coat lapel signifying that you belong to the great wan
dering family of Turned Downs? It wouldn't set well, would it?
So 'I declare, in the cause of common courtesy, that it wouldn't be
fair to tag the bachelor.
Let him forget his lonely misery if he can. - .. .
"Don't doom him to remember his troubles every time he puts on his
coat.
ljct him alone and maybe some day when nobody's paying much at
tention to him he may manage to slip through the big gates. You never
can tell.

'
I cannot see the advisability of tagging
a man because he is a" bachelor. In the
first place, it is cruel, to say the least. Just
because a fellow has been so unfortunate as
to be left outside of matrimony's hospitable
gates there is no reason why we should
throw it up to him. There are very few
. men who have not met at least one girl
whom they would like to marry, and that
they have failed to qualify up to the lady's
requirements is no sound reason for un
seemly mirth and merriment from the
world at large.

snowy haired man, with a poetic temperament, much energy and a talking

SENATOR GEORGE C.
The announcement a few days ago
by Senator George C. Perkins that
he will retire from public life brings
to its close a remarkable career.
Born on a little farm near Kenne
bunkport. Me., Mr. Perkins ran away
from home when he was about 13
years old. ! He took to the sea, as a
Maine boy naturally would, shipping
as cabin boy on' a ship at New Or
leans and sailed the seas. In 1855
he shipped before the mast on the
good ship Galatea, and sailing round
the Horn, eventually landed In San
Francisco. Here the gold fever
seized him and he abandoned the
sea for the mining camps. : Fortune
frowned for many a year, and he was
glad to find work of any kind to earn
his bread. He was a teamster, a
miner, a storekeeper in rough mining
camps, anything indeed that came to
hand. At last he accumulated enough
money to own his own team and he
became a boss freighter
Then fortune, tired of frowning, smiled and soon Mr. Perkins became a
rich man, even as rich men were rated in California. The former cabin boy
began to own steamship lines of his own; the miner; began to own mines;
the teamster became the head of great transportation companies on land
and on sea. His education was self-taught, but it became thorough. Finally
he entered politics, and in 1879 he was elected governor of his state. Then
in 1893 he was appointed to the United States senate to fill out the unex
pired term of Leland Stanford, and since then his state has kept him In the
senate.''
- Today he is regarded as one of the ablest members of that body. He
Is chairman of the naval committee and a member of almost every other
Important committee. He Is not one of the orators, but the senate always
listens attentively to what he says In his direct, terse, business-like way
of explaining a matter. Mr. Perkins' health has been gradually failing, and
he retired from publlo life solely for that reason. ' .
