McGraw's Side of the Story.

New York. May 26.-The assertions
made by Barney Dreyfuss and given
publicity by President. Pulliam that
John McGraw had said things to the
Pittsburg magnate made it interesting
for the public to know what the man
ager said to Barney.
ct was this way" said the Giants
chief. Barney was in my vicinity
after I had been put off the field, and
the claim that he had wagered $4,000
against $1,000 that Pittsburg would
beat out New York in the race oc-
curing to me, I asked him if the bet
was on the level. He took exceptions
to the query and told me I was not
on the level. I said that was not for
him to decide, and that in any event
no bookmakers had ever found it
necessary to inquire where I could be
seen to ask for a settlement for mar
kets.'
AIcGraw got Pulliam on the tele-
phone yesterday afternoon and told
him that in future, when any one filed
charges against him, he wanted them
treated in the proper official manner,
and not published before he had a
chance to see them and reply to them

little Abe Attell and offers himself as
a sacrifice to his vanity and the

NEW ORLEANS WINE CELLAR
Fine After Dinner Tale That Lacked
the Element of Geographical
Experience.

A lady newly arrived in Washington, Of
great wealth, was at a dinner a few nights
ago and amazed everybody by telling the
brand and vintage or a rare wine without
seeing the bottle or label, says a Wash
lngton correspondent of the New York
World.
How can you do it?" she was asked.
"Oh," she replied, Il was born in New
Orleans, you know, and was raised there.
When l was a slip of a girl my father used
to take mt down into his great wine cellar
under the house and show me the dusty
bottles. He taught me all about wines
down in those gloomy caves"
After the dinner the hostess said to her
husband: Wasn't it interesting to hear
Mrs. So-and-So tell about her fathers wine
cellars?"
Great" cried the brutal husband.
Absolutely great! 1t was simply fine.
You know, there isn't a cellar in New
Orleans"
