Christy Mathewson tells why Man.
ager McGraw has been SO successful
as the leader OF the Giants. He says:
II have often been asked to what
would attribute John McGraw'S sue
cess as baseball mnnagcr In the
flrst place, his method of handling
players conduces to getting the best
poesible results out OF them. All play
erB cannot be treated In the same
manner. Ono man has to be patted
upon the back whilo another needs q
sharp reprimand TO make him put
forth his best efforts OF remedy his
faults.
"McGraw has the supreme tact to
employ these opposite methods in the
way that causes no friction with the
team, with the result that all the men
pull together for the success of the
club. Every one knows that harmony
is essential TO q winning baseball
team. Many teams on paper appear
strong enough to win the champion.
ship, but because of some internal
friction they fall short OF their posi-.
bilitles. On the other hand, McGraw
landed the penGant for New York In
1904 with team that was not ser
iously rated at the opening of the sea
son as a contender for FIRST place. The
good fellowship and pull-together spir-
it that animated that team could not
be excelled, and John McGraw's lub-
ricating tact kept the internal machin-
cry working smoothly from first to
last
"A second great factor in McGraw's
success is his knowledge of inside
baseball. He is constantly planning
to pull of the unexpected, and in the
execution of his plans he always takes
into consideration the abilities Of the
players called upon to carry out his
scheme of play. The squeeze play, so
popular with some managers, does moi
appeal to McGraw, but every other
trick or device by which run can be
put across the plate has constantly
been successfully used in his cam
paigns on the diamond. He objects
10 the squeeze play because he be-
