T United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March c6.-Despite
indications Of war hitting baseball
amidships and other rumblings. John
j. McGraw today stands h1tched to
contracts that include his services
as manager of the New York Giants
at salary of $4,000 a year for five
years His old contract calling for
$50 900 runs for another year, sup
plying the little Napoleon with a
fairly steady job for six years.
The new papers, according to word
reaching here from Texas, includes
stipulation that McGraw is to re.
ce1ve a block Of Giant stock. Thus
he probably will become half owner
of the club before he retires.
1t has been rumored that McGraw
was to buy a part interest in the Chi
cago White Sox and it also had been
stated that he had decided to retire
to private life His signature to the
new contract effectually disposes Of
these.
Although McGraw's playing days
are over, his impressive leadership,
his dynamic movements in a ball
gane-in fact. everything he does,
stamps him out as one of the greatest
figures in the game.
He came to New York in 1902 when
the Giants were in the ruck OF calam-
ity. He found horde Of baseball
players awaiting him at the Polo
grounds and among them was Chrtsty
.Methewson. who was playing first
base. Since that time McGraw has
brought five National league champ
ionshps and one worlds champion
ship to New York. Last fall he
startled the baseball world by charg-
ing that his players had performed in
desultory fashion in a game against
Brooklyn, thereby aiding the Dodgers
to a 2ennant. Recently. just when
every one was wondering what the
national commission and the National
league would have to say regarding
this outbrust, he uncorked another
bomb by settling the threatened
strike of baseball players.
