FOR M'CRAW'S PLACE
Jawn Started as Raw Busher;
Has Been Both Player and
Manager During Long Career

From the raweSt sort of busher,
when he drew his first salary as a ball
player back in 1890, John McGraw has
risen to the position Of the highest
salaried manager in baseball. Always
aggressive and ambitious to fight his
way to the top of his profess on, Mr.
Graw has succeeded in making him
self one of the hest-known men in the
business today, and because of pug
nacious spirit he has kept before the
public much of the time.
The Giant leader was born at Trux-
ton, y. Y, on April I, 1873, and
shortly after he graduated from short
trousers he became professional
ball player, getting MS first real en-
gagement with the Olean team in the
New York state League. This was in
the spring of 1880, and McGraw sign
ed his first contract at the age of
seventeen. He drew $50 a month with
Olean, and to him the salary seemed

is Way Chances Look Now.

There is uneasiness in the camp of
the Pendleton Buckaroos. 1t is
caused by the prospects for the COM

pigskin artists stage with Walla Wal

The locals have easily improved
100 per cent over the condition they
displayed against Kennewck here
more than week ago, but Coach
Hanley is not bubblng over with op-
timism over the prospects for vic
tory. The Walla Walla team will have
the advantage Of more weight, an item
that does not necessarily mean any
thing, but In addition to beef. the
Washington team is also made up of
more experienced players than are

In recognition of the'r work q large

n very good physical condition.

Coach Dick Hanley has his gang
fighting now about every minute ol
the play. The fight spirit was partic.
ularly noticeable last night when the
varsity and the second string men
met. but for the first Is minutes, the
corner on fight was held by the
scrubs who made good yardagt
against the regulars.
The backfield men are working
much better than 10 days ago. Knud-
sen at fullback is rounding into
shape. Captain Kramer is carrying
the ball in "a way that promises some
good things for Pendleton, and Cahill
and Hayden are in the fight all the
way.
The line has been materially
strengthened by the addition of Rog-
ers to the regular lineup. This husky
lad is a bearcat on defensive and cov-
ers a lot of territory. Lawrence may
be replaced by Lang at center for the
Walla Walla game. The lanky center
flopped on the grass last night for a
layout after he had been punished in
a couple of end runs. Lang is rapidly
rounding into shape and with some
more practice on passing, he will be
available for use Friday if Coach
Hanley finds it necessary to use him
