~ McGraw. during the trip
around the world with the
Giants and White Sox, will or should
have something on his mind more
than to win against his travelling
rivals
1t Is possibly a rare good thing that
he will not have with him all the
Giants who lost the recent Worlds
Series. Otherwise he might have his
mind so tangled up that he would
hardly know where he stood.
That McGraw has brought the
Giants to the top Of the National
League heap in the last few years is
not sufficient to satisfy the New York
public That same public asks more
OF him.
McGraw in the National League IS
i'm a class BY himself as a manager,
simply because he brought by his own
personality a second division team to
the leadership of the parent orgapts
cation.
But he owes the Big City more
than that. He mas II in him to de-
velop a team that can beat out the
Athletics, and it is up to him to do it.

Reflects on McGraw.
The awful showing that the Giants
made against the Athletics reflects
more or less on him.

been fooled.

McGraw has failed-and why ?
Simply because he has held the Amer

severed his connection with IT,
NcCraw ignored all the reports
that he heard OF the proves OF Ty
Cobb, Hal Chase Joe Jackson and
other stars Of the American League.
He wouldn't give In to the fact that
Iris Speaker was phenom until the
Giants and Red Sox played a post
season series, and then both he and
Mathewson were obliged TO aclinowl-
edge It.
And think from that time McGraw
was brought face to face to the fact
that the American League has some
players.
convinced McGraw that ne has sec
ond-class team. Possibly he knew it
before.
No Excuse Will Go.
But that series is over-a thing Of
the past. and II he still sticks to

make that they are the best on earth

one Is more popular than he with

That Merkle and Snodgrass have
