N 'CRAW Makes
$4,000 YEARLY
Highest Priced Manager in Base
ball Is Pilot of the Giants

John j. McGraw, of the New York
Giants, is the highest priced manager
IN baseball.
McGraw receives $4,000 year for
managing the Giants
McGraw will receive this sum for
five years after the expiration of 1913.
For the first time the inside story of
the way in which McGraw was sign
ed to this big contract is told The
story came from the lips of the little
boss himself. And it reveals him as a
man able 20 play the game OF "blulf'
of the field as well as on it.
McGraw demanded that sum. And
one of the reasons ne secured ii was
because he offered just one alternative
his resignation.
Here is what happened;
McGraw during the lifetime of John
y. Brush was satisfied The relations
of the magnatc and the manager Were
cordial. They understood each other
NcGraw knew what to expect and the
two won't along very pleasantly. ON
the death ur Mr Brush new men came
to the head of the club. McGraws
contract had but a short time To run
So he visited the offices of the ball
club in New York.
1t is said there were no preliminaries
The scrappy manager said he had
come tc resign. The officials couldn't
understand the proceeding. They
asked McGraw if he wasn't satisfied.
He answered that he was not. They
wanted him to go into degails, To state
his grievances McGraw couldn't sec
the use.
Then came the opening. They want
Cd to know whether there wasn't some
way by which he could be retained
If there were not some circumstances
which would cause him to reconsider
his determination
The lighting boss answered that
