It was Unnecessary for McGraw to
announce that he Intends to hold on to
Tim Thorpe. Any one at all familiar
With McGraw's system knows that he
Hoes not let ball tossers who show the
slightest chance to improve get away
rom him. and from all accounts Thorpe
has shown enough to warrant his reten-
Ion, though he il not yet az major
eagus caliber. II Ii not expected that
wen Thorpe can make star out OF him
,eIf without the necessary experience.
