When John M (iri.av put over the deal that sent Christy Mathcwson to Cincinnati as rrr.n.iger of the Reds, and brought Chai'ley Herzog to New York to p'.ay second base for the Giants he arc rrpltahed one of the brightest moves of his somewhat brilliant ca reer. E.gardlesa of McGraw's manager ial ability, and regardless of how the Giants stand up next year, there is cne thing that will be just as evident as it was when the New Yorkers hung up thefe" historical winning streak last fall. Charley Herzog will be there in fighting and driving his team mates to greater efforts. More than one close student of baseball gives Herzog more than half ths credit for reviving the Giants last fall. His Irresistible enthusiasm, hi3 fighting mood on all occasions, and best of all, his ability to make those playing with him spurt at the name speed - simply catapulated the Giants into that winning itreak.

DONT PINCH, TICKLE AND COAX 'EM, A NEW DICTUM OF THE POLICE "Superfluous arrests" don't look eaid to J. Felix Skinnor, chief of p. lice. Ho is discouraging "plnch !tv?." To an uninformed person this -r:ms unpoliceman-like, but Chief Skinner's idea is exactly In line with the policy adopted long ago by many of th? department heads In the big cities. "Tell 'em not to do these things; give them a chance, is his plan. The number of arrests made in a month in this little city looks Mg. It would indicate that the pd lice are on their Jabs; but It does m.t necessarily indicate that they are on their jobs in the right way all the lime. In recent years the local po le force has improved rapidly. It ir now a splendid outfit for a place llkn Kinston. The men are Invari ably intelligent, willing, neatly uni formed and courteous. Skinner be lieve.? the 'respectable outfit" should become "educators." Desk Sergeant Fescue, who used to be a newspaper ma n would go him one further and have a course on municipal govern ment taught In the public schools, have the cops make friends with the kids on the streets and teach them what little they can aboat the busi ness of aviation in preparation for the Great Ultimate. "Some rural visitors regard the pteliee as friends especially employed 'to collar and cuff and lock them np," is one officer's be lief. "We ere going to get that idea cut of their heads." Every publica tion of consequence dealing wtth mo dern police methods comes to the lo cal station, and many good things from them are being stored up to 'be put into practice.
