Diplomatic John MCGraW
Wishes Huu Well in N. Y

John McGraw, diplomatic and
courteous, paid Miller Higgins some
fine compliments upon the latters ap-
pointment as manager of the Yankees.
McGraw doesn't mean to yield his po-
sition as king of the walk in base bali
in New York, but he realizes that if
Higgins can make the Yankees a win
ner it will benefit both clubs in the
metropolis. McGraw says he would
like nothing better than to play the
Yankees in the worlds series next
fall, which may be an indication of
how he feels about his own chances
for the coming season.

Duffy Lewis Gets Orders J.
To Don Sailors Jacket

Outfelder Duffy Lewis of the Red
Sox, who enlisted as a navy yeoman,
has been assigned to Office work at
Mare Island navy yard, near San
Francisco. He didn't have to report
for duty until the close OF the Pacific
Coast league season and he didn't miss
any games of the last strenuous week
in San Francisco and Oakland. The
ordinary fan may not be up on navy
nomenclature and therefore in doubt
as to what a yeoman is. The diction-
ary says he is a petty officer who per-
forms clerical duties. Sometimes he
goes to sea and sometimes he works
union hours around a navy yard.

The Illinois bred PAGER, Directum

tries all additions to his string to their

President Harry Hampstead of the

an early start and an early closing.
He thinks about September IS would
be the right time for ending the base
ball season and this would permit the
Giants to wind up the worlds series

John B. Foster of the club, however.
is inclined to disagree with his chief.
Foster argues that the Giants play
