New York, May 2s.-Matt McGrath,
the worlds champion hammer thrower,
was nearly lost to the American Olym-
pic team as the result of an Italians
attack late Sunday night. McGrath, who
is a policeman on the New York force,
was shot twice while chasing the Italian,
who was charged with attempting to
kill a man in Harlem.

wounds that were painful, but will not

SPICY SPORT CHATS


OF the several managers who will
break into the major leagues this sea,
son Jake Stahl, who viii pilot the Bos
ton Red Sox, win undoubtedly have
the best chance to make a showing.
StahI will have a strong team under
him, and the fact that he will greatly
improve one position which he covers
himself is going to make great differ
ence in the teams showing, provided
Stahl has the ability to handle ball
team. Next to Stahl Harry Davis OF
Cleveland seems to have fallen into a
lucky spot, for, like Stahl, Davis has
been handed ball team which should
not be out Of the race next season.
But because of the superior speed OF
the Red Soy and the fact that it seems
possible to inject good spirit into that
team Stahl seems TO have the better OF
the argument with his rival in the Ohio
city, and the end Of the next campaign
should bear this out
AS for Wolverton, he hasn't much OF
Il ball team unless some of the young
sters New York has picked up develop
into stars. SO far as ability is con.
cerned, he must be classed with Stahl
and Davis, as none of them has ever
had an opportunity to show in fast
company, though Wolverton has been
a successful minor league manager for
several years.

NEW YORK, June 29:-It must be source of considerable satisfaction to John McGraw. as 1t is to his well wishers and well wishers of the Giants bere that his present cham pion team is mostly of his own build ing and developing. individually and as a strong whole. The competent managers saB develop the smooth and potent machine. given the capable units-that's what they're there for but McGTaw. like his great rival Mack. has an exceptional gift of taking green material, learning quick ly whether it Is Of sufficient poten- tial worth to keep, and then with pa tient skill nursing 1t along until it is of top-notch calibre and ready to be showed into q regular place to keep up the speed of the team.
 There is much more to McGraw's high ability than the influence of his personality to keep his men always doing their best and his keen eye for maneuyering. though for a while these were thought to Ls his entire stock in trade. He has accomplished a good deal by shrewd trading for material already developed, but he has accomplished more through new material secured through scouts "a sine qua non of modern baseball and by his own expert handling of new men, says the New York Sun
 MeTkle. DeyOre. Snodgrass Meyers. Marquard, Shafer Fletcher--a good part Of his team-ali these have made their greatest improvement, realized their possibilities under McGraw. Larry Doyle was pretty good ball player when he came here. but was made into a better one Shafer and Fletcher were kept along on the bench for several seasons, but al- ways imbibing knowledge. and when the time came to make regulars of them they jumped in and more than filled the places of those they sue ceeded. Much that DevOre knows about batting he learned from Me Graw, who also taught him how to make the best use of his natural speed
 Chief Meyers was lumbeping and just ordinary catcher when he first
 
 was considered something of a joke But McGraw saw before anybody else that Meyers not only had the making of first-class catcher. but was a wonderful natural hitter. Meyers at first was weak on flies. but now he Is not only good on them, but the most valuable backstop in baseball today.
 It Is well known how Snodgra B was made into an outfielder and a helpful run-getting factor from catcher. how Marquard, under Me Graw's tutelage, when everybody else was condemning him. was trans formed from lemon into a peach how Merkle. an obscure substitute during the Tenny days. was retained and when he didAzsei his chance de- yeloped into great first baseman. 1t was under McGraw that Herzog came into prominent notice. and he scooled Crandall un- til that pitcher became the steady, de- pendable workman he is. Mathewson became famous under McGraw Ar thur Wilson. substitute catcher. is good enough to be a first-string catcher on any team not having Meyers.
 All Of which goes to show that Me Graw has made his own team.
 Connie Mack has demonstrated no less ability iu bis handling and de- veloping of men. Coombs, Strunk Collins. Baker, Barry, Mclnnes, Thom- as. Lapp. Bender and Oldring are stars who reached their zenith under Mack. The Athletic genius showed
