Baltimore, and with the exception Of
two tumultuous seasons in the
American League, he has been contin-
ually associated with the parent ma
jor league.
Under Ned HanIon's management
McGraw developed into one of the
best third basemen in the game, in
addition to remarkable batsman
and baserunner. He was one of the
leading cards of Baltimore's famous
three-time champions.
He Is Sold to st. Louis.
in 1000, when the National League
reduced to an eight club league, and
cut out Baltimore, Washington, Louis
VILE and Cleveland. McGraw and Rob-
inson were sold to ST. Louis for $50
900, a remarkable figure at that time.
However. the pair never took kind
ly to the shift that sent them TO Mis-
souri,, and the next year, McGraw,
Robinson, and Kelly, backed by the
later's father-in-law. Baltimore
politician, put an American League
club in Baltimore. McGraw was made
manager of the new team.
He got into one jam after another
with, Ban Johnson, the young presi-
dent OF the American League, and in
July, 1902, accepted an offer by the
late Andy freedman to take charge of
the Giants. What he did with the
Giants is history. For years the New
York Nationals had been a second di-
vision club, and they finished eighth
in 1902. The next year McGraw had
them second, and in 1904. and 1905 he
won the championship. topping off
the 1905 season with an easy worlds
series victory over the Athletics.

who was shedding his clothes.
We See Joey Schwartz.
Suddenly we remembered that we
wanted to see Joey Schwartz box a
kid NAMED Billy Devine, from Phila-
delphia, and so we climbed the mar
row steps and appeared on the stage.
One thousand, nine hundred and four
other guys were there ahead of us,
but Dial" Pratt has saved space for
one of our dogs and we rested the
other on another fellows until he got
peeved and gave us some room.
That Schwartz bout didn't amount
to much. Devine, whose right name
must be Rosnosky or Silverman or
Goldstein, judging from the Yiddisn
advice hurled at him from his cor
ner, opened up the Washington boy s
wounded eye in the first round. but
whilp he was doing that Schwartz
was pasting his ribs with both hands.
In the second round Joey slammed
over some more heavy ones down
whore Devine was supposed to stow
his cats.
In the third Joey began another
bombardment of Devines ribs, and
suddenly the Philadelphia decided
that enough was enough, even in tao
ring. He discovered that his lcft
arm had been wrenched or something
The wolves up stairs howled fer
blood. but the referee called every.

Puryear and Moore then fought

stage, walking all over Hip" Du
CAMS feet. Hip" was occupying d

Remember the reproductions OF

front OF Caesars Gallo war? Re-

Cicero? Well, when Tony Geiger, tho

ancing himself on the ropes, we
thought of that old bust of the Roman

the same air of far awayness, OF ca'm

probably wondering what the wolves

out, he didn't. He saved his life.

Every now and then Earl would
land a right-hand uppercut to Pals

away and it never hurt, or even
slowed down. He would be right
back with another shower of lefts

JOHNNY KILBANE WANTS
O'BRIEN FOR OFFICIAL
Featherweight Champion Doesn't
Favor New Jersey Brand
of Referee.

NEWARK, y. J., Feb. 21.--It seems
to be the custom in boxing for prin-
cipals in important matches to quib-
BILE over the question of who shall
referee. Sometimes the controversy
is real, but more often 1t develops
only in the mind OF the willy press
agent. Trouble now is brewing over
the referee for the Johnny Kilbane
and Benny Valger match at the New
ark Sportsmen's Club next Wednes-
day night.
The featherweight champion does
not favor the New Jersey brand of
referees. He wants an official from
Philadelphia.

Jimmy Wilde to Show

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. I'll
Despite the almost prohibitive
guarantee demanded by Jimmy
Wilde the worlds champion fly
weight, Matchmaker Frank
O'Brien, of the National A. A.,
has signed the Welshman to box
at q special show in this city
on March 3.
His opponent will be Patsy
Wallace, who can scale almost
the same weight as Wilde. The
little worlds champion refused
to concede Philadelphia boxers
the same weight as he allowed
in, other cities, stating that he
had been told there is a tough
lot of boxers in the Quaker City.
