A criticism often directed against

Possibly such criticism has as fits

NEW YORK AFTER
 SLATER TO PLAY
MeGraw is Flying to Get Artie to
 Don Spangies Again.

John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, is once more angling for Arthur Shafer and trying to per suade him to return to baseball. Shaf- CT, according to friend is far-off Cal ifornia, is still hanging back, but shows signs of being afflicted by the call of the game.
 lilly Shafer. as he was known when he played third base and shortstop for McGraw's team a couple of years ago, was one of the most brilliant infielders in the game. He also was a fine hit ter and one of the fastest men il baseball. He gave up the game to go into the automobile business i:, California.
 McGraw admitted recently that he had been in communication with Shafer, and that he hoped for the best. He said that he needed him as
 "On of the reasons why Shafer quit baseball said McGraw, was that he complained that he did not like to play every day. I think that he would make a wonderful utility my club. l have written him and hope to persuade him to return to the game"
 McGraw decided to make an out fielder of Shafer in 1913, but this in directly brought about his retirement He played that position in fifteen games, but got the idea that he was driving his old college mate, Fred Snodgrass, out of a job.
 He felt so strongly about it that he packed his bag and started for home, finally being headed off at the sta- tion. He then replaced Herzog> at third base.
 This was one of the causes which later led to Herzog's insistence that he be traded to Cincinnati, .~-1ere he went as manager. This trade was made while McGraw was out of the country. At the opening of the fol- lowing season Shafer announced his retirement from baseball and left the Giants. without a dependable third baSeman.
