M'GRAW

He is the absolute master of his
ball club; there is little Individual
ity in the play of his men. Every
pitched ball is directed by the Little
Napoleon or the Little Napoleon, de-
pending upon whether or not you adj
mire him. Every time that you see
the hit and run tried you may know
that it was commanded by the man
launched on the coaching line; every
time that a steal or second or third
is attempted you may know it was
by his command
No play is conceived save in the
mind of McGraw; he is in supreme
command, exercises his rights and is
an autocrat in all that the term i'm
plies.
Directs Every Pitch
National Leag players will tell
You that McGraw signals for every
ball pitched by his hurler. They will
tell you to watch him as he sits upon
the bench for confirmation The pro
gram is this-the catcher receives the
ball. losses it to the twirler. then
turns his head toward the New York
bench. 1t is at this instant that the
receiver is instructed, by a sign of
course, to ask for a curve, fast one
a slow ball.
The running game is the one that
McGraw loves and the one that he
plays. And he picks his men that
this method may be effective Nc.
GraW doesn't care especially for the
smart ball player but he does demand
ability to hit. to run to be able to
throw accurately. He wants the men
mechanically proficient and then
molds them to his Will

The hit-andrun in the favorite mode

NcGraw may switch in the worlds
series, expecting the opposition to be
looking for this style and prepared to
block it, but in the regular games
that constitute a seasons schedule he
never bunts earlier than the fifth or
the sixth inning. He is willing to toss
away a lone run that he may risk pill
ing up lead that will insure him
victory.
The McGraw system is to attack
vieiously. to fight desperately; to
take long chances with one man di-
recting the play. Which accounts for
the fact that McGraw always has a
proficient team, but seldom a smart
one. BY assuming all the RESPONSE
bility he removes it from the Shout
ders of his men and by relying sole
" upon his own brain robs the play
