M'GRAW, Is REPORT
Mitchell, Of Braves, to Sue
ceed Little Napoleon With
Giants, Continues Rumor

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s-several weeks
ago an interview with John McGraw was
published in which he stated that when
his contract with the Giants expired at
the end of next season, he might retire
from baseball Since then 1t has been
learned that if McGraw really decides to
leave the New York National League club
he will receive an offer from owner Charles
A. Comiskey, of the Chicago White Sox,
to become vice president Of the club and
manager of the team at a salary of $4,000
year.
This story must be taken for what 1t
is worth 1t hnr been in circulation among
wise insiders for some time although 1t
must be admitted that, as far as any one
can learn, McGraw has not yet received
a direct proposition from Comiskey.
II will be remembered that McGraw, at
Comiskey's invitation, took team OF
Giants around the world with the White
Sox two years ago last winter Comskey
and McGraw became intimate friends. Tho
owner of the White Sox, when he returned
home, declared that McGraw was the smart
est baseball man he ever had met and that
he would jump at n chance to place him
in control OF the White Sox.
But Comiskey, Mt that time, never
dreamed that McGraw some day would be-
come weary OF managing the Giants. Since
McGraw's statement that he might retire
at the end of the 1917 campaign, however,
baseball men say that they have heard
from Comiskey's associates that the man
aRement of the White Sox will be rendered
tho Little Napoleon,
In connection with the story of Comis-
keys proposed offer to McGraw, the in.
siders are circulating a report that II
McGraw leaves the Giants, his successor
may be Fred Mitchell, coach of the Boston
Braves, Mitchell. IL Is said, has been
recommended TO the owners of tie New
York club. Mitchell once pitched for the

CHICAGO. Aug 2s.
HHE Phillies completed the most disas-
i lrous week OF the season yesterday and
the fans naturally are wondering what is
wrong with the National League champions.
Manager Moran would give something TO
have this question answered. but he at least
has an idea and read the riot act to his
players on the train last night Moran
believes that n large percentage OF the
errors made by the champions during tne
last week have been due to carelessness
and he will not tolerate "showy' OF fancy
ball playing any more
1t is rather odd that Dave Bancroft
should be playing tho most spectacular
game at short we ever have seen ana yet
It has been his careless bunglng OF plays In
the pinohes that cost the Phillies TWO
games In Pittsburgh and one In st LOUIS
The brilliant little shortstop appears 10
have been spoiled by too much praise and
is thinking more of his own record than OF
the team.
other players have dlsregarded instruc-
tlons at the plate and caused well-planned
plays to bo broken UP. The general work
of the team has been ragged, and unless
there Is an Immediate Improvement the
Phs have little chance TO overhaul the
Dodgers and Braves. Last season the
pills were the best defensive team In the
National League but their work during the
last week indicates that things have changed
in the camp Of the National League cham
plons.
In the games played since arriving In
Pittsburgh the Phillies have been credited
with is errors by the official scores, but In
truth they have mado three times this num-
Der, including rank errors of Judgment,
such as throwing the ball to the wrong
base, failing 20 cover bases and allowing
balls to fall safe which should have resulted
in easy outs.
While we are inclined TO believe that
two games could have been saved by tho
substitution OF relief pitcher when 1t was
apparent that the hurler on the mound was
weakening. there Is no question but that

"He has to 60 after entirely different

"This is where the local players will

There are n number of entrants from
Merton who can play both the courses in

Man of American golf, who feels that there
is no objection to the use of two courses
for qualifying play, except that II gives
the local players an undue advantage. He
looks for the usual box of surprises, and
intlmates that the local players may spill
some OF the dope.
Speaking of TraviG, the famous former
British amateur champion, and several
times winner of the American title. has an
nounced that he will stick to his decision OF
last year not to play in the championship
This will be cause for regret with many
