INVEST THE MEN BEHIND It is as true as it is that night follows day that the success or failure of any financial, commercial or industrial enterprise is dependent upon the charac ter and ability of the men behind the men "who manage their affairs. The foregoing statement is predicated of course upon the supposition that nat ural conditions are reasonably equal THE DAMON OIL COMPANY IS PARTICULARLY FORTUNATE IN THIS RESPECT. It Las the natural conditions for oil production in its five tracts, aggregating 229 acres of land in proven oil fields where there will be no expense for exploration purposes where the money of the stockholders will be devoted absolutely to the drilhag of production wells, and it is being managed by men who not only have been successful in the conduct of their private business affairs, but who know the oil business and who have the confi dence of the men and women of the communities in which they live. Look Them Up JOHN JOSEPH McGRAW believes Ul the potency of a seasoned infield. Proof of I4ttle Mac's regard for tho seasoned campaigner may be found in a glance over the names of the play ers who will make up his Infield this year. Hal Chase, Larry Doyle. Artie Fletcher and Heinle Zimmerman vet erans all will carry, the pennant hopes of the little manager on, their broad though weather beaten ahoul ders. MeGraw places a mighty high value on the Infielder. He believes that other positions with the exception of the catcher, can be filled by either veteran or youngsters, with perhaps equal proficiency. But those infield stations, where Mao himself used to cavort as a member of the old Balti more Orioles, are to be trusted to the seasoned player only. Benny lvauir, Ross Toung and Earl Smith, the youthful catcher secured from the Rochester club, are the out- standing: youngsters on the Giant roster, thouch Ferdie Schupp is not vet a veteran, desoite the tact that be nas been through a pennant-winning campaign and a world s senea Chase, peer of first basemen, even today after nerving li years In the Dig snow, is a player or. roe type jclc Graw likes to handle. Chase Is I scrappy, energetic fellow with a lot of temperament. And he can bit. Larry Doyle, cut short In the midst or wnat appears to oe a marveioua come-back, is going to try it again. And Doyle Is also a scrapper. Artie Fletcher and Heinle Zlm have a chin In every argument that comes along. They are the pepper. est pair of In Ii elders playing- on the left side of the diamond in either major Ieagne. And both are dangerous hitters and seasoned fielders. MeGraw hHfvfvi fn thin auartet. He believes that in securing- Cbase he has paved the way to the linking to gether of an infield that wilt steer the Giants toward another pennant. and who Is better qualified to say what such an Infield Is worth? Go ask Sweeney, we don't know. Mexican "Y" Boys Beat Mount Sinai The boys from the Mexican T. M.

TIGHTEST PINCH I EVER FACED BT EDWARD J. KOJTBTCHT. While in Boston last year, on the morning of July 4, St. Louis was playing against us and Leon Ames was pitching- Tbe bases were loaded, there were two out and the score a tie in the seventh Inning. The first two balls Ames pitched were fast ones and I fouled them both, and as I knew that he had a great curve I was sure he'd pitch It to me then. So, with the count two strikes and no balls, I crowded the plate to keep him from sneaking one by me. Sure enough Ames started his curve, but it looked as though it would break behind me and also a little high, so I ducked. To my surprise that curve ball took a terrible break and caught me square on the left ear. putting me down and out. It was a case of me using my head in a pinch and winning the ball game, though I would have maoh rather made the other kind of a hit. Right here I might mention what I consider the real pinch for the baseball boys it is the pinch, if you like, that comes after nine innings have been played and everyone is trying to get the game over and yet win it. I think you will agree that you see more won derful stops made, more timely hits and more trying situations after two teams have passed nine Inn ings than at any other time. The next time yoa see a ball game that goes more than nine Innings Just recall Ed Konetchy's contention that "the extra. Inning pinch" has its effect on 18 men.
