that the last home game of the Orioles
would bring 10 the park many fans and
rcoters, but they failed TO materialize in
any large numbers, and there were no pa
thetic scenes at parting. McGraw was not

and in g nadly vigorous protest they made
life burden 10 him. and in desperation he
called on Snyder for his watch, intending
20 bring matters TO a crisis, but he COM
promised the matter by putting MCGEE out
