stop, and his playing there attracted
the attention of a big league scout.
and in August. 1891. he was signed by
the Baltimore club of the National
League, then last in a twelve-club cir
cult.
Bill Barney was manager of the
Orioles when McGraw broke into the
fast set" John finished the season
of 1891 as bench warmer.
In May. 1892. Ned Hanlon succeeded
Barney and took a fancy to McGraw
in spite of his small stature. First he
tried him on second base, where he
showed much speed and skill. He was
transferred to third. where he played
even more brilliantly. and there he
stuck.
From that time until he withdrew
from active service he was one of the
best third basemen in the game. at
one time being considered the top
notcher of then, all. His ability to
field buntS was uncanny, and no third
baseman in the game has ever equaled
him in that department.. He always
was a capable batter. but under Han
Ions direction he became one of the
average never fell below the $50
mark. and he was very fast on the
bases. His all-round good work was
a. big factor in Baltimores string of
pennants.
With Coterie Of Stars.
While member of the Orioles he
was surrounded by coterie bf stars
who helped to set off his brilliancy.
Hughie Jennings. who now is asso-
ciated with him in the direction of the
Giants, and Wilbert Robinson. man
ager of the Brooklyns. were among
them.
McGraw and Robinson were sold in
1900 to the ST. Louis club for price
reported to be $4,000. The sale dis
please both men.
When the American League invaded
the east in 1900 McGraw was one of
the ablest lieutenants of Ban johnson.
the league president. While they
were still in st. Louis McGraw and
Robinson were plotting to place an
American team in Baltimore. Finally
McGraw obtained backing and as
sembled a good ball team. He was
appointed manager Of the club, which
was a most popular move in BaIti-
more, and in 1901 there was no
stancher American leader than John
McGraw. now the premier leader of
the National League.
McGraw and johnson Split.
In 1902 there was an open split be-
tween McGraw and Johnson. Not only
sions, but many players were retired
with injuries. McGraw was spiked
three times in 1902, the last causing
an ugly wound in his knee which
practically ended his days as an ac-
tive participant in the game. In mid

Z OUR OWN MAIN STREET.

Money has been none too plentiful
during the last few months and al
though the. situation is improving
considerably now, we will all agree
that the last six or nine months have
been rather a test period, we have hac
a chance to try each others mettle
This has been a good time to find out
just how public-spirited our business
men are, and right here the Unior
wishes to pay it's respects to our owr
Main Street. It does not require much
of an effort to contribute to public
enterprise and charitable organiza'
tions when the money is moving freely
but it is when things commence to
tighten up that man shows his true
colors.
! We probably do not know Of halt
the demands made on our local mer-
chants end professional men but not
to our knowledge have they failed to
meet any request made in the last
nine months for cooperation in public
enterprises. The last request made
was for contributions to the Bowling
memorial fund and while the amount
each one was asked to give was not
large, in consideration of tie fact tk:.t
the Salvation army and Red Gross
campaigns were scheduled for next
week, the solicitor met with most
willing and prompt response in nearly
every case. Only relatively few in
dividuals failed to respond and of
course We do not presume to state
that those men were any less gener-
Gus or public-spirited than those who
subscribed to the fund.- They un-
doubtcdly felt that their money was
needed in other places.
However, we do wish to express our
appreciation Of the good public spirit
and enterprise Of the majority Of our
business men and women and we do
not believe that they, in the final
analysis will be the losers, even in q
financial way. Anything that adver-
tises or boosts the town boosts every
business establishment in it.. So here
is to our own Main Street, may all
good things come her way.
