ing the game to St Louis He does
not deny that his players adopted dila-
tory tactics in an effort TO prevent five

perpetrated the assault was suS-
pended Baseball fans want TO know
why a man who had not raised a.
hand and who had committed no ply

But those who know McGraw are
not making any further inquiries
about the matter; nor IS McGraW him
self complaining Stoically he said,
after the episode Il shall make no
complaint I got what was coming
to me"
Probably. If a vote of the Philadel-
phia team were taken, McGraW would
not only have been punished, but
Brennan would have been voted a
medal For McGraW, on the coaching
line, has the most provocative line OF
chatter known to the game without
using profanity, his cold, lOw-vOiced,
taunting stings most Of his opponents
into the commission Of rreparable
fOIIies during games, which is all Nc
GraW wants
The victory is all McGraW cares
about and he does not fail to press on
those sensitive spots which Turk IN
der the hide of every ballplayer, great
or small His chatter is not personal
but it sounds bitterly so. If he can
provoke the opposition into fighting
humor so much the better. 1t helps
him win the game; after which he is
willing to take a personal beating.
