GIANTS -STAGE .ANOTHER 19H. MIRACLE PLAY New York Nationals Are . Pulling Another George Stallings Climb Up The Ladder. "Miracle men" in base ball have about reached their peak with the public,' it would seem, since the marvelous recuperation of the Giants has put 1hem in a position where they can" almost see the 1920 pennant waving fr,om their fldg-pole.- Jn 1914, when the Braves made a. supreme effort and finished on to'p after a" march from the bottom of the ladder, the delighted base ball world arose and hailed George Stallings as the miracle man of base ball. Last fait, when the Reds won a pennant and then trampled the ' White Sox in the world's series, ' Pat Moran was crowned with George Stallings' withering laurel. Now, the Giants have done it, so it may be predicted that the metro- politan and other kind of press will go into hysteria over John J. Mc , Graw if the Giants capture the flag. ! Evers Wat There. It hasn't apparently occurred to I-' base ball followers that John J. Evers was captain of the 1914 Braves and that when he left the game the Braves'-. deteriorated into an ordinary ball , club. ' It also ap parently has been overlooked, that John visited Pat Moran in the clos ing throes of last year's campaign, helped in the last gasps, and scout ' ed for the White Sox preliminary to the world's series games. He yas Moran's ablest lieutenant' dur ing the series and his advice was seriously followed. Then, only after i scrutinizing these facts, it is only necessarv to announce that the spurt of the Giants dates practically from the day when Evers began to lend his fire-breathing apparatus to the work of the Giants. This is not intended as an essay on the merits of Mr. Evers. Far from it. The average fan thinks of second base and John Evers at the same,, ime so, he knows who . the famous Trojan isl quite as well as anyone else. The object of this outburst is to freshen the memory " a bit. The -fans will draw their f own conclusions regarding who is really entitled to the , lily wreath that Indicates p. miracle man. Re-Engaged Mathewson. ; The ultimate Jesuit of what has. nappenea to ine uianis seems to oe that John Evers, a John McGraiw v player, if ever one carried out the 1 righting principles of (' that well- known Irisjiman, will , succeed Jluggsy as the National league's most coioriui manager. inings haven't been breaking well for the little Naooleon in the last few vears of his affiliation with base ball.

McGraw ' admittedly has nung onto the job at times when he really was grow ing fretful tinder long years in the -harness. He wanted to make sure that he would' find someone who ' could handle the club, as he had handleLit. , ." With this view in mind, McGraw re-engaged Christjr Mathewson after the famous old .pitcher had made a failure of managing. Cincinnati. Matty was sick-and lacked energy. Therefore he soon proved that he would not do. f Then McGraw be gan to look about for other timber. He considered Larry Doyle, but something bou"t' Larry made him an outsider. ' Arthur Fletcher was given consideration, but- he, too, lacked something. Then McGraw sent for John Evers and hired him to coach the then faltering Giants. The results stick out in the aver ages. fcTow that Evers has succeeded those in the know declare it is onlv a matter of a few months until xiciite inc uariinK ways uciwccjh McGraw will relinquish the. reins and tvers will gather them up.

Madison Square iiarden, September 17. (ieorae Caroentler. Euronean heavy- weignt cnampion aitilnst Uattllna I.e- vinsky. f.DDeu ieiu, urooklyn, Octo- ber n. When thl Walker bill legalizing boxing in tue state of New York was passed there was an agonized squawk from a certain coterie of fighters and their managers, who at tempted to point out to the legisla ture that bouts to a decision would have a bad effect on boxing because it would keep champions from de fending their titles in New York despite the fact that in this city more persons will'go to see a bont than in any other. They complained that states tyvhich have no-decision laws would urofit. ' Whether, they were looking at the matte' from the proper angle is best judged by these facts: The governor appointed his box ing commission about .a month ago and since that time Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight , champion, has, signed an agreement calling for his appearance against Bill Brennan in a JNew York ring. ' '; Lightweights to Mix. Benuy Leonard, world's light weight champion, has signed articles with Eddie Fitzsimnions. They will go IS rounds to a decision the night of September 17 at Madison Square Garden Under the chaperonage' of Tex Rickard. Battling Levinsky and Georges Carpentier, light-heavyweight cham pions', respectively, of Europe and the United States, are matched to box 15 rounds to a decision the aft ernoon of October 12 before the In ternational Sporting club at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. No 'other bouts have been an nounced. Naturally promoters were eager to have champions appear in action for New York's public first, and they went after the champions. Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, Sought the match with Brennan. Rickard had absolutely no trouble in getting Leonard's signature to a set of articles calling on the lightweight king to"meet anyone Rickard should select. And Fitzsimmons jumped at the chance to get the match. . Carpentier is unused to the no-decision thing, which has been giving boxing a black eye in this country. ievmsKy is, dui ne reaauy agreed to the IS rounds to a decision when the International Sporting club bid for the match. This match was made while Carpentier was in the United States on his theatrical tour. It was held in abeyance, with Jack Curley the matchmaker", -; while Carpentier took his "wife home and visited his parents. Champs Must Fight. Then the. howl of managers of fighters and the fighters themselves who really fear decisions is .turned to milk and honey. Any boxer who consistently ignores New York from this time on will be known to the boxing public as a gent who doesn't care to risk his laurels in a decision bout. I '. There is only one thing regret table about the New York law. It does detract from New Jersey. Twelve-round bouts are permitted in that state, but no decisions can be given. The poor handling of bouts in that state by a few clubs has al ready sickened the New York fight loving public, so little real loss will be felt. It will work, however, to ward keeping champions out of New Jersey rings. They can viake more money in the New York rings, even if it is certain that they must train hard and fight hard in order Jo avoid their just deserts. s France, Italy and Switzerland are producing a large number of motor cars for exportation. - 06 Once Famous Racing " v Horses Face Peddler Grts Now Unless .

The death of Ray Chapman, Cleveland shortstop, through a bjow on the head by a pitched ball, seeffts bound to bring about a reform, in base ball that has been badly netd cd for many years. Experts em ployed by sporting goods houses are now at work on models for head protectors which will be offered for general use of batters very soon. Had Chick Fewster been wearing a protector to pad his head ' he would be playing as a regular with the Yankees today. If Roy Corhan had been using one when with the White Sox he probably would be in the big league, and it is more than probable that Frank Chance would fiaye lasted 'longer if he had not Abandoned his plan to wear a helmefof , his own "design. fv'i, Chfjnce Mad One. Chance,;;when a iipember of the Cubs, and rilanagingthat club, , was one of thegamest! batters base ball ever, has known. He was knocked cold several times when,, frit on the, head by pitched balls, and on a few of these occasions it vvas proble matical whether he would recover sufficiently to resume playing ball. After his second connection with a fast ball the Cub leader determined to 1iave,made a leather helmet to protect his head and actually took it to the park with him for use. It was not satisfactory, however, and he soon discarded it. What form the helmet will take is a matter for considerable specu lation. Already it has been suggest ed that a protector something like those 'worn by aviators might be used. Foot ball headgear also has been suggested. Chances-are, how ever, that the ultimate design will be a strip of stiff leather extending completely around the head, reach ing below" the temples and above the eyes. Two straps crossing each other at the top probably will hold it,tovthe top of the head. These willy form .a,, cushion on top. of the head. Heavy felt,- with an air cushion, probably, will form the padding.) A chin strap would com plete' this protective device, which would be" light, and 'without the 6 - Easy Six-Cylinder Sedan and Coupe, $2,145 Factory J. R.

Now that the emerv ball, shine ball, and other deceptive tricks of base ball have been ruled out of the game batters are becoming more bold. They crowd -the plate more closely because they know there jfs small chance for a swift break if the ball is not scuffed.!

That he ij alive to day is due only to the extraordinary skill of the surgeons who attended him and the fact that he was phys ically able to withstand the very delicate operation. ! that was per formed immediately.
