IN'CRAW HAS MADE MANY D..
POOR DEALS IN PAST YEARS
Costly Mistakes in Letting Groh, Gowdy and
HerzOg Get Away.

New York, Jan. Several years
ago, when John McGraw asked for
waivers on a player, it was a pretty
sure sign that such a player was done.
In fact, other managers usually con-
sidered it wisdom to stay off a, player
McGraw was cutting loose. There was
a boast among Macs friends that
whenever he put a waiver tag on a
player the unhappy youth might as
well kiss his big league job goodby. 9
However, in recent years conditions
have changed great deal. There is
a big bunch of capable talent scat
tered through the National League
which formerly fswore loyalty to John
McGraw, and drew their pay checks
from the National Exhibition Co.
In fact, a, team of 4ex-Giants may be
picked from major league talent of
last season, which could put it all over
McGraw's tai1-end combination of last
fall. How would this team line up?
Gawdy, Braves, h.; Groh, Reds,
2h.; Herzog, Reds, S.; Stock, Phillies,
3d.; Bescher, Cardinals, If; Becker,
PhiI1ies, CT. Murray, Cubs, IF; Snod-
grass, Braves, utility; Bresnahan,
Cubs; Wilson, Chifed-Cubs; Hartley,
SIoufed- Browns, C.; Rudolph, Braves;
Demaree, Phil1ies; Chalmers, Phillies;
Marquard, Superbas; Ames, Cardinals;
Cranda11, Sloufed-Browns, pitchers.
= That team perhaps coulo not nave
licked the Red Sox in the Worlds
Series, but it should have made a
pretty good showing in last years
National League race, and might have
made the going rather. tough for the
Phi1Iies.
McGraw has had the misfortune to
pull off several rather unfortunate
deals in recent years, and the worst
deal in McGraw's life was the trade
with Cincinnati in 1913 by which the
Reds received Ames, Devore and Groh
for Art Fromme. Groh is perhaps the
leading third baseman in the game
today, Fritzy Maise1 of the Yanks be-
ing his only close rival Heinie is
worth II bushels of F'rommes. Red
A1nes was an un1ucky pitcher for the
Giants, but Leon usually gave the
other side a run for their money. AS

AL MCCOY LOSES
TO JAKE AHEARN

New York, Jan. Sake Ahearn
gave Al Mccoy, midd1eweight title
holder, a bad beating in their ten
round bout at the Broadway Sporting
Club, Brooklyn, Saturday afternoon.
In every. round Ahearn was the ag-
gressor and he landed many blows on
the rugged Mccoy, who was unableNto
locate the willy Ahearn- Most of
AheArnis blows were aimed at the
champions stomach and landed with
telling effect. Ahearn had him swing
ing wildly. He missed blow after
blow for the jaw.
Had the bout gone many more
pounds a. new champion would have
been crowned. The only thing that
prevented this happening was the
holding tactics which Mccoy adopted.
In the ninth round Ahearn made a
desperate effort to win by the knock
out route and he chased Mccoy all
over the ring. Had not the champion
needed the sadnonitions of the crowd
and hung on throughout the tenth
round Ahearn would have been the
champion today. The only way Nc
Coy could save himself was by clinch-
ing, which really was hugging.
Mccoy took few risks by mixing

ROAST CAMP FOR
TAKING MACOMBER
FROM HIS eleven

Walter Camp, Yale football adviser,
has aroused a storm Of criticism in
the Middle West by dropping Bartlett
Macomber of the Illinois eleven from
his AIl-American team and placing
Elmer CULLEN Oliphant of West Point
on his first eleven.
When Camp chose his third eleven
it was discovered that he had picked
Halligan of Nebraska, a coach, as a
member, but he promptly placed
another player in EIalligan's position.
Now comes the change in Camps Ali
American selection.
In letter to Golfers printed in the
Jan. 1 number, Mr., Camp says:
81 wish, indeed, we might go back
to the old times when I had a few
days after the final game of the season
to check up the very voluminous rec
ords of all the men. This year in this
rush there was not time to compare
carefully, game for game, the fun
records of OIiphant and Ddacomber,
the former having some so fast in his
final game that he is entitled to first
place."
Mr.. Camp gave Macomber- a place
at half back on his FIRST team and Oil
plant was chosen for. his second
eleven, out later, shifted these two
players. 1t is contended in the West
that OHphant was ineligible for the
mythical AlI-American team mas
much as he had competed three years
in athletics at Purdue University be-
fore his graduation and entrance to
the West Point Military Academy.
Several collegians in Chicago who
favored the retention of Macomber on
the first eleven wired the following
protest to Mr.. Camp:
1.-The local papers indicate that an
unwarranted change, has been sug-
gested in Mr.. Camps All-Star team,
replacing Bartlett Macomber, a mem
Der of the national interchOlastic
champions of Chicago, as a member
of Mr. Camps All-Star team.
THAT any change should be made
at this time, since the publication OF
your official All-Star selection, is only
to the discredit of Mr.. Camp; for it ia
hardly possible that he would dispIace
a man who in two years has proved
himself Of aI1-star material, but that
he should be shifted in favor OF a man
who has graduated from college, SO
far as football is concerned in the col
leges of the West, and who, having
completed his three years of football
in this section, has played additional
years under the rules of West Point
and would be ineligible to compete
with our western or eastern colleges.

about Artie the better
Next to the Fromme deal, the swap
by which. Herzog and Hartley were
sent to Cincinnati for Bescher was
the prize boner. McGraw blames this
deal on John Foster. as John B. pulled
off the deal while McGraw, Comiskey
and Callahan were circumnavigating
the globe.
What made this deal look so bad
was the fact that Shafer retired dur
ing the same winter, and instead of
having two of the finest third base
men in, the game, McGraw had only
a kid s{ortstop to play third, Milton
Stock.
However, Stock, too. was sent away
to- help bring the veteran Lobert to
New ork, and Hans was sad f1ivver.
las for Milton he finished the season
as third baseman on the Phi1lie Ma
tionaI League Champions, and played
a smart, steady game. ADemaree and
Jack Adams, a kid catcher, also shar-
ed in Worlds Series money last fall,
because they were sent to Quakertown
in the Lobert deal.
Hank Gowdy was tossed in as ex-
cess baggage when the Giants
snapped Al BridewelI to the Braves
for Herzog in 1911, but it is due en-
tire1y to Mac that Long Hank is a
catcher. Gowdy came to the Giants
latel in 1910 as first baseman, who
had hit pretty swell in Texas, and for a
stretch he was permitted to finish out
games at first FOR Merkle.
A McGraw, however, advised Hank to
try catching, and he was an extra,
catcher when traded to Boston along
with Bridwe11. Boston used Hank as
a first basemal, but he soon drifted
to the International League, where
he took up catching for good, and
was recalled by Stallings when the
Big Chief was named as the Braves
manager.
McGraw seldom has gone wrong on
pitchers, but he has never forgotten
himself for letting Rudolph slip
through his fingers. The Bronx kid
made two training trips with the
Giants but in 1911 McGraw decided
he was too small for the big league
and let him go for good.

ira Thomas Talks Baseball

Z . 1
Ira Thomas who looks after Con-
ME Mack's youngsters, thinks that
peace negotiations in the baseball
world will mean a prosperous season
in 1915. The big fellow spent New
Years with relatives in Connecticut,
Ewhere he got his start in baseball.
Baseball peace will mean that the
club owners will have a, happier time
of it this season. said Ira to, a re-
porter for The Farmer yesterday.
taThe entrance of the Feds. with their
habit of grabbing off stars at fabulous
salaries, hurt organized baseball. The
owners in the big leagues. for the
most part, had pretty hard Shedding
for the past two years.
THE explanation of the Feds will
strengthen the two major leagues, of
course, in a great many ways One
of the most important will be that
the nagnates will have a chance to
make a little change in 1915. a well
come relief from the program of the
past two years.
Ira also thinks that the disorgan-
ization Of the Federal league will
make lot of good players available
for leagues of the ca1ibre Of the East
ern Association. Thomas went to
Philadelphia, Sunday, where he is
for a few city blocks and other val
liable realty interests that. he owns.

Of retiring.
