JOHN M'GRAW THE
 MOST PATIENT OF MAJOR MANAGERS

John J. McGraw's middle name must be Job. At any rate. the old timer who put that name on the map and in the books displayed no more patience dur ing his troubles than did the Little Napoleon" of the Giants in the devel- opment of his championship baseball club. With one or two exceptions, every member Of the Giants bears the stamp Made by McGraw." Christy Mathew son, in fact, is the only luminary of the team what was star before the advent of McGraw as manager
 Player after player who showed but little promise has been taken by Me Graw, placed on the bench to season and then fitted into the championship machine. Had any other manager had charge of these same players the chances are that he would have re- leased them or at least farmed them years ago. McGraw. however, seldom farms out man he thinks he can use. He prefers to let the player adorn the bench, thus absorbing some of Me- Graw's caustic pointers on the game, and to fill in now and then in utility
  whenever possible-when game Is hopelessly lost or the victory is cinched beyond recall. Many of his regulars made their start as Giants in Just such a way.
 In this respect, he is practically alone. Tesreau Is one of the few players whom he farmed out and then recalled. Take the Boston Red Sox-Buck O'Brien, Bedient and YerlSes are eX-farm hands Nearly all of the Clevelanders are graduates from the farm. Even Connie Mack, famed as he is as developer of youngsters, does not ignore the value of minor league club. He had Harry Krause out for year and planted Stuffy McInnis for a season or so.
 McGraw, however, keeps his prospects right under his own supervision. He is loyal to his recruits to the extreme Ad- vice to release this or that player has no effect upon McGraw beyond that of making him stronger for the athlete in question. In this respect he is the per sonihcation of patience. For instance, he kept Rube Marquard two years sitter everyone else thought the famous south paw a $11,000 frost McGraw could have secured waivers on Rube without any trouble, but declined to do so. Ills pa tience received it's reward in 1911 and F.
 When Merkle pulled off his famous play in 1908, few expected that the Toledo man would be a member of the Giants the following season. They were due for a surprise MerlSle is still a member and one of the most valuable of Me Graw's men despite the fact that he erred grievously in the last game of the late worlds series. From being lemon he became star first sacker and strong batter. McGraw even now refuses to criticise him harshly for his error of omission ill the final game against Bos- ton, saying that such might happen to any player.
 McGraw picked up Snodgrass upon the lots in Los Angeles in the winter of
