NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-After
being booted from pillar to post.
wrecked as a machine that had
battled in worlds series, and
then rebuilt, the New York
Giants stand today the most dan
gerous team in the National
league.
Manager McGraw and the New
York fans claim this, and seven
other managers in the Tener cir
cult admit it. The regeneration
of the Giants has been complete.
They won their eighth straight
game when they took a double
header from the Reds yesterday.
There are no pennant hopes
around the polo grounds for this
year, but watch out for 1917. In
the meantime, too, the Giants are
going to make things mighty un-
comfortable for the teams they
meet during the remainder of the
present season.
Slowly but surely. McGraw
completely tore down the ma
chine with which he achieved
some of his greatest triumphs,
and with few of his veterans re-
naming, built a new one about
