McQraw, manager of 23 editions of the New York Giants and ten times a pennant winner, has reached a conclusion about bossing a ball team, "Mac" has given op his street clothes during game time and Is wearing a uniform again but he positively refuses to appear on the coaching line at third or first as of yore. No, it isn't sensitiveness about age or dignity that keeps the Giant Doss on the bench. He's Just concluded that the bench is the one spot from which a game can be directed completely, explains' Bozeman Bulger, the veteran sports writer, In The Farm Journal. Neither McGraw nor Muggins, although botb wear uniforms, will work from the coaching lines nowadays, Bulger points out McGraw explains that if he Is watching a game from first bnse and directing a runner there he Is likely to overlook wliftt Is going on at third. On the other hand, from the bench he can take In the whole field and pass his directions by signals to the base coaches. "Unquestionably, a big league game Is best directed from the bench," Bulger asserts. "It is the only spot from which a manager can brine everything within his vision. The playing managers who last long enough to give op active work In the field and become bench man ageis all agree that the latter have a big advantage. With the possible exceptions of Bill Carrigan of the old Red Sox. 'Bucky' Harris, Rogers Hornsby and Frank Chance, the noted successes In baseball leadership have all been made from the bench. Although Trls Speaker won a pennant with his Cleveland Indians in 1920 by virtue vir-tue of exposure of the White Sox scandal both he and Ty Cobb, while among the brainiest of players, will go down In the records as poor team leaders. And that Isn't because they didn't know their game so much as because they had to play in the outfield where the entire team had its back to them, Bulger believes. Many times they had to hold up the game to run In and give the pitcher his orders. And, more Important still, their field positions prevented them from studying the opposing batters at close range. Incidentally, the bench manager is more popular this season than ever before in the majors. There Isn't a single playing leader In the National leagne. The Farm Journal's writer points out. In the American there are but two, Harris of Washington and Ray Schalk of the White Sox. Pecklnpaugh of Cleveland Is still able to get around In the short field, but his appearances In the box score will be rare so long as Joe Sewell is on the Job. Pair of Jacks Jack Sharkey and Jack Uempsey may yet furnish the interesting ring excitement of the season. Following bis defeat of Delaney, Sharkey announced an-nounced that he had challenged Jack Dempsey for a return match: He classifies clas-sifies the Tunney-Heeney affair as a "battle of second-raters I" The photograph photo-graph shows Jack Sharkey in fighting pose. - Ossie Orwoll Is Most Graceful of Players Ossie Orwoll, who came to the Philadelphia Phil-adelphia Athletics from Milwaukee, Is the most graceful player to make the big leagues since Larry Lajole hung up his spikes, in the opinion of Manager Connie Mack. In speed, grace and natural ability, Mack said the blonde athlete was living up to all the advance notices that preceded him out of the West and that if he was not one of the sensations of the American league campaign this season sea-son be would be surprised.

"Sunny Days-has Days-has nothing to do with the story, bnt one of the stars in that show, Billy B. Van, a comedian, has. Thirty or so years ago, when Wal cott was champion, he and Van Jolne.1 a vaudeville act headed by George Dixon, the featherweight champion, and toured the country. The persona' fortunes of Walcott, Dixon and Van and the others In the act ran op and down, and Walcott and Van hadn't seen each other since, but they met recently. Lumbago and rheumatism, family troubles and a broken arm and other aliments have helped to score a perfect per-fect knockout over the "Black Cyclone." Cy-clone." Walcott arrived In 1803 from the West Indies, the son of a farmer. He worked in New York city for a short while as a laborer, and his enormous strength and littleness soon attracted tl -attention of Tom O'Rourke, an old-time fighter.

H. HUNTER Dept. of Economics, Unlvsrilty of Illinois. The Gasoline Tax THE tax yon pay on gasoline helps to make about $190,000,000 a year In gasoline tax receipts. Oregon,, In 1919, was the first state to levy such a tax. In this same year Colo-' rado. North Dakota, -and New Mexico levied a similar tax. The use of no other tax has been extended so rap-Idly rap-Idly for at present there are but three states, New York, Massachusetts and Illinois the Supreme court of Illinois In Februnry having declared the tax aa levied unconstitutional which do not have the tax. Practically the entire en-tire revenue goes for the construction or maintenance of highways. The rate varies In different states from one cent a gallon to five cents. It is but fair when the government govern-ment performs a special service for an Individual that he should stand at least a part of the cost Thus in paving streets the owners of abut ting property are made to pay a part If not all the cost of the Improvement Improve-ment The construction and maintenance of highways, while of great social good, confer a special benefit on the motorist The greater use he makes of the road, the greater the benefit There Is a definite relation between the amount of gasoline consumed and the number of miles traveled, the weight of the car, and the wear and tear on the highway. A tax on gasoline, gas-oline, then. Is a fair way of chargln? the motorist for the benefit he receives. re-ceives. It Is difficult to say Just what par of road costs should be borne by the motorists, but whatever part It may be can better come from a gnsollne tax than from the license fee. There Is no relation between $10 or $20 a yenr and the use made of the road. A farmer may be able to use the road but a few months yet his license will be the same as one who may use the rond every day In the year. Justice Jus-tice would seem to Indlcnte u small registration fee, and the reliance upon the gnsollne tax for the desired revenue. rev-enue. . . ' The use of the gasoline tax has heen an aid to the pny-as-you-go policy of highway finance. The Increasing maintenance costs as roads get older makes this desirable. The uncertainty of the life of a highway makes nor-rowlng nor-rowlng for any long period of time an undesirable policy. The gasoline tax has the further advantage ad-vantage of being a method of receiving some payment from the out-of-state motorist for the roads he Is using. In some states such collections are not Inconsiderable. The Cost of the World War HAVE you ever heard that the World war cost $338,000,000,000 T What does $33S,000,000,000 menn to you, even if you have heard that was the cost? Many Insurmountable difficulties, of course, arise when one seeks to estimate esti-mate the cost of any war, to say nothing noth-ing of such a holocaust as the Worjd war. The value of devastated lands and destroyed capital can only be estimated. es-timated. There Is no way of definitely putting Into dollars the value of a hu-man hu-man life. Sorrows and heartaches which money could never repny must be left Irom the calculation. The economic eco-nomic loss from a lowered stamina, both In this generation and as propagated propa-gated to posterity Is an unknown quantity. One can be fairly sure of the number num-ber of dollars spent by the different governments. From the best calculations, calcula-tions, the average daily expenditures of Great Britain In 1917-18 were over $33,000,000. those of France over $32.-000,000, $32.-000,000, and those of Germany over $31,000,000. In December, 1918, the average daily expenditure of the United Unit-ed States was over $04,000,000. During the war there was a tremendous tremen-dous Increase In the amount of money In the different countries. This un-docbtedly un-docbtedly resulted In the rapidly rising ris-ing prices, the burden of which was reflected In the world-wide expression, The high cost of living." Prices In 1919 were more than double those of 1913, and are still some CO per cent higher. All those who have had to buy at the Increased price level but have not received a proportionate Increase In-crease in Income are bearing a cost of the war. Some IS.txiO.OOO men, the best men, were killed or totally Incapacitated. What their Inventive genius or physical phys-ical stamina would have given to ttje world, no one can say. The direct costs of the World war, Fomewhat accurately estimated, have been placed at more than $180,000,000,-000; $180,000,000,-000; such Indirect costs as one dares to attempt to estimate have been reckoned reck-oned at $152,000,000,000. or a total of $338,000,000,000. That the costs of the World war did not stop with the war Is Illustrated by the present expenditure of the United States. In the estimate of expenditures expendi-tures for 1928. the veterans bureau Is allowed a sum of $W0,000,OOO. while vocational education is allo-ved $7,700-000. $7,700-000. The Item for Interest Is placed at $720,000,000. The Interest and sinking fund charge In tl.e United States Is tes than 2 per cent of the entire social Income. This burden Is very mall In comparison to that found In some European Eu-ropean countries. In England the Interest In-terest charge alone Is about 10 per cent of the social Income, while In France It Is more than 15 per cent (Q, ti:i. Wetr Newspaper Pnlon t |
