he gets on . few local hits and tells

Ous OF McGraw's stories:
There has been 10 much talk
about inside baseball that ! want to
: tell you how II once worked against
NY team. ! was playing with Balti-
0ere at the time. and We were
scheduled to meet the Boston Club.
TAey had q lot OF hard-hittins left
flanders. 90 we planted q ball In
right held SO that we could throw
q IN quickly instead OF the batted
eall. In case 1t went too far. Sure
enough. In the nth inning a ball
was sent to deep right for what
licked like q homer. Willie Keller.
Who was playing RICH; field. grabbed
che planted ball and threw II into
the diamond. and 30 held the runner
on Arst. In the mean time our
centre nelder had forgotten about
the inside baseball stun. and got
after the ball that was hit. He Sc
cured Il and threw Il into the dia-
sha. mil n
~ Smmediately forfeited the game
20 Boston. so you see that inside
baseball does not always win.
Another:
1T In strange how some people get
the idea that they are great ball
players. While we were practicing
q the Polo Grounds one morning a
young fellow came up to me and
said: Mr.. McGraw. ! am a corking
good outhelder. and would like .
Job with the Giants ! thought /
would look him over. so said, All
right. 20 out there In right field and
lot me see what you can do. lie
uoariy took my breath away when
- said. Excuse me. Mr.. McGraw.
but ] never played on these grounds.
Where 10 right feldr"
Just one more;
"A mother once wrote me that she
had two sons who were great ball
paayers- She said one was catcher
and the other a pitcher. In case
they DO not make good she wrote.
'ths biggest one would make good
gate tender"
