JAWN M'GRAW HAS
HIS OWN VIEWS ON
BALL TEMPERAMENT
BY PAUL PURMAN

CHICAGO, Oct. $50 far as |
know not much attention has
been paid to the part Lefty VIII
liams may play in the series.
Williams has been pretty gen.
orally neglected by. most players
and critics with whom l have
talked about the big event.
But Williams may be very val
liable in at least one game, the
first one he pitches, IL Rowland
picks him to start.
In Lefty's few years In
baseball he has never lost an
opening start against any
club.
Precedent doesn't count, you
may say-maybe not-but the
fact of the matter is Williams has
won every opening game he has
ever pitched against any club,
major or minor and there Is no
more reason for believing this
won't work out in the world series

CINCINNATI, Oct. At has
been four years since l last inter-
viewed John McGraw for the Ia
coma Times. l hope have
changed as little as he has In that
time.
His hair, the Irish hair that
turns white early, has grown just
q bit more grizzlzed and his brown
eyes bit more optimistic-that
Is all.
"Twenty-nine years Is a long
time to be in the game" he said
as his eyes wandered over the
field-'longer than most Of those
boys can count their entire lives"
You have the reputation of al
ways having the most tempera-
mental ball club in existence" I
ventured.
I'm my nearly three de-
cades Of baseball 1 have
learned one thing thoroly-a
good ballplayer must be tenn
peramental, just as an artist,
q musician or a writer must
have temperament. He must
love the game more than the
CANDLE" he answered.
"And how do you mako q
mans temperament work for
y0n," 1 asked.
by ignoring it," he an
swered. II must make every
IMAM think he HAS no tenn
permanent, even while maxi
ing him use that nose desir-
able quality in a ballplayer
to its fullest capacity"
What man has been the most
temperamental on your ball
team?"
"I'd rather not say, but I'll tell
lyou of the man who has least and
Is the one exception that proves
the rule"
"Matthewson," / interrupted.
Yes, Matthewson Ia always to
be depended upon. When he
knows a thing is to be done he
Just does 1t. Some men play best
when a team is winning and
some play best when spurred by
defeat. A baseball manager must
not only be a good picker but he
must study each man individually
and handle all differently.
AT the end of a season
with a winning team you have
TO be more than ever On your
guard. Every man Is a bundle
OF nerves, drawn taut. At
this time every little pref.
udice, every little idiosyn-
cacy, every little vein of su.
perstition Is laid bare and
raw. You get to know your
men better then than at any
other time during the sea-
son." )
What nationality makes the
pest ballplayer?" l asked.
Il cannot answer that. I think
perhaps the Irish are the quickest
thinkers and the readiest to take
a fighting chance, but l would not
Ike team made up entirely Of
Irish. You must have tempera-
ments like the German to ballast
the Irish. Truly l think a winning
Dali team must be a melting pot Of
all nationalities. This year there
are more Germans among the
Giants than any other nationality
and they are just as Temperament
tai as any other but they don't
snow 1t In Just the same way"
