Hr FRANK O. MUNICH.
NEW VOIIK, June 27.-John McGraw
of thU town ttemi to have Raid aome
thins when he remarked that a ha bait
team Is only a strong as IU secondary
Cefense, and that no team need have any
pennant hopes unlets It Is equipped with
a second team that can take up the first
team' burden Immediately and effi
ciently.
One of the big; reasons for the success
of the Giants Is the fact that McGraw
aU'aya has aimed to have a set of sub
stitutes who could jump Into the ahoes
of the reguars and perform In equal style,
Many fans and managers often have
thought that McGraw waa wasting money
when he spent hugo sums simply to ac
quire substitutes, but the wisdom of his
actions has been shown.
Fletcher, the Giant regular shortstop,
sustained Injuries that put him out of the
game for a lengthy period this season
Just at a time when the Giant were
fighting to hold their first place posi
tion. Fletcher was n bulwark of strength
to the Giants' Infield. The Giants' rivals
figured that with Fletcher on the shelf
the Infield would become wobbly and the
Giants would lilt the chutes.
Hut they didn't because McOraw has
12ddle Grant In reserve. Grant jumped
Into tho game and played In a way that
made tho loss of Fctcher almost un
noticed. He fielded In brilliant style and
batted up around the .300 mark.
Mrrkte'a Absence Not IV.H.
Merkle, the Giants' first sacker, wss
forced out of the game on acount of
charley horse." But his absence waa
hardly felt. McGraw hauled Snodgrass
In from the outfield and placed him on
first, where ho Is almost as good oa In
the gardening Job, and then McGraw
filled finod's place In the field with one
of the three extra outfielders that h has
been carrying.
It clutters up the Olants' payroll to
curry several extra, outfielders, Inflelders,
catchers and a second string of pitchers,
but In the long run It returns a profit
for the Giants. If the Giants' rfgulnr
team goes to the honpltnl the second team
comes to the fore and keeps the team up
In the race. The business of sticking at
the top or near the top always means
good crowds when the Giants aro one
part of the attraction, and the Increased
attendance more than makes up fot tho
115,000 to 323,000 that Is added to the an
nual payroll through the carrying of ex
tra players.
Further than this, the fact that the
Giants' second team can take Up the
fight when the first team I Incapaci
tated has on flvo occasions resulted- In
the Giants winning the pennant and grab
bing off huge slices of the world aeries
money.
Connie Mack of Same Idea.
Connie Mack la another exponent of the
strong second team Idea. And Connie, as
many may remember, hat won so many
pennants and world series flags that he's
hod to build an extra room In his homo,
In which to store them. Last season
Connie was criticized by some persons
Mho figured that he was carryinii too
many men, especially pitchers, on his
payroll. Hut the wisdom of It soon be
tome apparent When Plank and Btnder,
Ins two dependable veterans, failed to hit
a winning stride early In the year Connie
trotted out his youthful hurlers, and tho
Mils came through with flying coi irx.
When Ira Thomas and Jack Lapp, Con
nie's two veteran catchers, sagged off
because of overwork Connie pushed the
youthful Mr. Schang to the front Ho
was the same Mr. Schang that a lot of
people thought wouldn't amount to a
darn, and who wasn't going to be any
mora helpful to the Athetlca than tc re
llovo them of some of their funds every
two weeks.
"Well, In a crisis, Schang debutted, and
even before his wonderful work In the
world series game the sporting experts
voted him us the best young catcher of
many seasons.
The-Cleveland Naps are an Instance of
how a team that is of championship
calibre will go to pieces without a strong
second team. The Naps last year gave
the Athletics a fight nearly all the way,
and probably would havo won the pennant
and horned Into the world series If It had
been equipped with a strong bundlo of
substitutes.
It was' during the latter part of the
season when the terrific paco was be
ginning to tell on the Athletics and they
began to wobble, Plank and Bender were
going bad and the team was oft In Its
hitting and Its fielding waa on the bush
- league order. Cleveland's chances to slip
Into flrstplace were of the brightest
And then 'injuries forced Lajole and Bir
mingham out of the game.
Kail No Substitute.
The absence of Lajolo and Birmingham
wrecked the Naps' chances. They did
not have two men to replace their pair
of disabled stars. They had only an ordi
nary lnflelder and a weak hitter to put
Into Lajole' s place, and only an ordinary
-fielder to replace Blrmy. The result waa
that the team that had been going along
at a terrlflo' clip began to falter. Tho
machine work of the infield, without La
jole, was gone. And the Naps floundered
aa badly aa the Athletics and couldn't
gain a point despite tho fact that tho
Athletics slumped aa badly for nearly two
weeks that had the Napa gotven Just a
little better than an even break in their
games they would have jumped into the
lead.
Pittsburgh has a wonderful first team
this year, but if any of the regulars are
forced out by injuries It means the break
ing up of the combination, for the Pirates
are not very well fortified with sub
stitutes. It's the same way with the
Tigers. Take a man out of their present
Infield or deprive them of any of their
regular outfielders and the Tigers Instead
of looking like a pennant contender take
on the aspect of a second-rate team.
The Cincinnati Reds this year have
been hurtling along like a fourteen-lnch
shell. Their pitchers are going well, the
Infield and outfield combinations are per
forming in spectacular style. But looking
over the list of substitutes one finds that
the Iteda haven't a .second man to com
pare in any way with any of the first
team. This means that if Injury, illness
or aa umpire removes one of the -.ed
regulara from the game it probably will
Broun me winning combination.

NEW YOIIIC. June 27 With the John-
aon-Moran cmbrogllo out of tho way' and
marking another epoch In ring history,
the gue of the American fight-loving
populace la still focused across tho well
known Atlantlo mlllstroam. The scone
shifts from Paris to London. The prin
cipal thla time are an American and an
Englishman.
Wllllo Bltrhle and Freddie Welsh will
be the potent factors In the production
of torn more ring history when they
hieet tn the arena of the Olympla on
Tuesday, July' 7, with the lightweight
championship of the world at stake. The
prescribed duration of the bout Is twenty
rounds; and It it goes the limit, a new
lightweight king will be crowned.
The making of the match consumed two
whole days. In that time Rltchlo viewed
conditions from every angle how he
could get close to $30,000 "for battling an
hour with a supposedly deteriorating
boxer, who possessed a featherdustor
punch, and how saf his title would be.
He figured ho was not putting his earn
ing powers and his coveted title In
Jeopardy by taking on Welsh. But wily
Wllllo entirely overlooked the Important
fact that the English may not approve
of his fighting methods, especially of
his forte infighting.
It apparently was not known to Ritchie
that the Britons frown down at Infight
ing, and that any advantage he may earn
by battling at close range wilt not bo
taken Into consideration the while Welsh
is popping over his whiplash left Jabs. ;

Rltchlo will be handsomely recom
pensed whichever way the tide flows. He
will receive a guarantee of $15,000 for
fighting or 50 per cent of. the gross It the
Intake exceeds $30,000. For disposing of;
his moving privileges Rljchlo will reoelva
$10,000. There can bo no question but the

Chess
A pleasant way to spend your noon
hour is to play cheat or checkers at the
Omaha Chess and Cheeker olub. The
monthly dues are a trifle, the pastime
is a clean one and will benefit you men
tally and morally, and the location ot
the club Is convenient, being on the third
floor of tho Continental block. Fifteenth
and Douglas streets. The beat players
In the club will be delighted' to teach you
the game of chess If you are not an ex
pert or to beat you at It It you are.
After a tie In tho Inter-club tournament
proper and another tlcln the subsequent
play-off between the teams of the Man
hattan and. the Progressive Chess clubs
the championship of the Metropolitan
Chess league will go on record as un
decided. Instead of continuing the series
Indefinitely these two clubs have agreed
to rest uoon their laurels and to divide
the spoils. Accordingly each olub will
receive a handsome chess table with en
graved plato such as Prof. Isaac L. Rice
had donated for second prize, and In ad
dition the surplus of the fund for the
purchase of a trophy Intended for the
winning club will be divided to provide
suitable emblems for the adornment ot
the resDectlve club rooms. Thus has a
twin championship been created In the
first season of the new league, which,
hnrrinsr the retirement of the Rice chess
club at an early stage, has been one ot
unqualified success.
To enliven the opening of the fall sea
son at the Manhattan Chess club several
plans are afoot The idea, of Inviting two
foreign masters who havo not yet visited
the United States la being discussed with
much animation. The names of Alechlne,
the young Russian, and Splelmann of
Munich have been mentioned,
nr. E. B. Barnett. a prominent member
of the Havana Chess club, while In New
York recently, stated that Havana was
as eager aa ever for an International
tournament and that there were good
prospects of arranging one next winter.
.Tnm n. Caoablanca has been trans
ferred from the Cuban embassy at St
Petersburg to tho one at Berlin, and
German players will have the benefit of
his presence among them for some time
to come. ..
Following Is the game

Americana After. Trophy.
Nine American citizen will make a con

don, next Saturday In an effort to gain
for their beloved United States ' the point'
trophy In" the British track 'and fleM
championships. After they have done
with the Englishmen the American ath
letes will make a detour ot Ireland and
Scotland and then give the continent the
"once over." They wjll participate In
contests in the principal municipalities
of tho various countries.
The .athletes who have received In
ternational permits from the Amateur
Athletic union and who are now nearing
their goal are:
Thomas J. Hatpin, quarter-mller, and
James' Powers, mller, of the Boston Amateur-
Athletic union; Harry Smith, dis
tance runner, ot the Bronx Church House,
New York; James Patterson, sprinter,
representing the University ot Pennsyl
vania; W.- F. Potter, hurdler, of Yale, and
four New .York Athletic club "performers
James A. Wendell, tho champion
hurdler; Homer Baker, halt-mller, and
Thomas Paton and Horace' Hocking,'
quarter-mllers,
Thomas Kelly of the Irish-American
Athletic club also was In receipt of an
International permit but aa he came to
this country only two years ago he can
not represent the Irish club tn the com
ing championships. Should he earn any
points In the sprints they will be credited
to Great Britain.
Position Different, but
Joe Jackson's stand at the bat Is unlike
that of any other player In that his feet
are tn a peculiar position, close together,
but with the right foot In advance ot the

Reception Proves
Smith Did Not Make
Mistake in.His Trip
NEW YORK,' June's?. The .remarkable
reception given gunboat Smith upon his
arrival in England tor his. bout with
Carpentler trioleates that the Gunner
made no mtitake In going abroad. Smith
Is likely tc 'score a tremendous hit In
London.
Owing to .the prejudice against all white
hopes. Smith has not been accorded
much honor lit his own country. But In
England conditions are very different
English critics are not so exacting. It
Smith defeats Carpentler he wUl be
given due credit for having accomplished
something worth while. It wilt not be
said that he won merely because hU op
ponent waa a dub.
In England there "are no Jokerters In
the habit of casting aspersion upon the
struggling rlngster. England takes Its
sport too seriously for that A para
grapher, whose sole .object Is Xy make
the boxers a butt of his. witticisms, would
to regarded as a plain "knocker" tn
England.
Although the Smlth-Carpentler contest
haa been postponed until July it, more
Interest Is being shown in, this event than
In the Ultchfe-Welsh affair, scheduled
for July 4. Heavyweights are all the rage
In London. It Is predicted that when
America's foremost white hope meets
the Idol ot France the Immense arena
will not bo large enough to accommodate
the gathering.
