ding another pennant to the string
that has fluttered from the flag pole
at the Polo grounds. John Joseph
McGraw becomes more securely es-
conced in his title of Napoleon of
Baseball"
Short, sturdy, dapper ruddy faced
and gray headed, McGraw looks more
like a successful broker than a
professional athlete. He appears as
what the clothing adds classify as
Smart" and If ever some twist
shears him of success and reason,
he can get job posing for an oil
painting of a cigarette smoker or
the latest in collars.
His career is remarkable but not
surprising. 1t was a sane, steady
march to the heights of his profess
sion, intercepted now and then by
some flight of temperament or OF
temper, but 1t has all been in one
direction. He is in the logical place
for such a logical man to occupy.
McGraw's PrO-debut
McGraw was born in 1873 and so
is just about turning the SO mark.
He began playing baseball as most
American boys do as soon as he could
toddle after one. His professional
debut was made when he discarded
short trousers. but whether he did
one of those two things to effect the
other Is question which his biog
raphers must debate.
The present manager of the cham
pion Giants has been in the game
professionally for 80 years, starting
with the Oleon team of the New
York State league in 1890 when his
reputation as a consistent hitter and
reliable fielder spread from his ma
tive heath of Truxton, N. Y. Through
out his playing days he was one of
the marvels of the diamond but his
gray matter has made him fixture.
Only one year did McGraw remain
In Oleon, signing a sheet for $50
month. Next he went to Cedar Rapids,
where his stipend was more re-
munerative and his work more bril-
liant. His shortstopping was so re-
markable that a big league scout
came to look him over, saw him and
was captivated.
Breaks Into Big Leagues
The youthful "Mugsy' went to Bal
timore, then the tail-ender in a H.
club circuit. 1t was in August, 1921,
that McGraw broke into fast com
pany, little more than a year after
his entry in the professional rank.
His first season he warmed the
bench, but in 1892 Ned Hanlon, the
Orioles new manager, tried out John
Joseph at second base and then
shifted him to third, where he gained
a reputation. Third base was 6isspo-
sition.
McGraw. has always been recog-

Union Iron works. was dangerously
wounded, and Merriot w Walker,
Jr.. son of the owner of the Walker
Furniture company, painfully cut
about the face and body In a fight on
the Main street of Selma today, fol-
lowing an arguments over bill said
to have been owed by Kinard to the
furniture company Kinard was car
ried to hospital with bullet wound
through his left side, and another
through his right hand, while Walker
was nursing knife slashes on the
face, right chest and back.
The argument started this morn
ing when walker went to the home
OF Kinard to collect o bill for furni-
ture, that the firm said had been
owed for over year. Kinard is al
legged 20 have used profane language
and warned Walker to leave his
place Walker returned to the store
on Broad street, and Kinard followed.
An argument started in the store,
and ended in a fist fight. During
the fight Kinard pulled knife and
began to slash at the furniture man.
Walker hit the man with his fists,
and then drew his gun from hip
pocket and fired twice at Kinard,
both shots taking effect. Kinard
stumbled to the street In front of
the store and fell at the curbing. He
was picked up and rushed to hos
pital where 1t was said his wounds
might prove dangerous.
Kinard was reported sinking fast
at a local hospital tonight. Small
hope for his recovery is held out by
physicians attending the man.
Walker was arrested by the sheriff
following the shooting and charged
with assault to murder. He was
later released on $1,000 bond.

five KILLED IN
MINE EXPLOSION
Accident Thought to Have
Been Caused by Oil Burn
ing Lamps


Johnston City. Ill, September a.
Five men, three mine surveyors and
two miners were killed and three
miners were injured slightly in an
explosion in the Consolidated Coal
compsny's Lake Creek mine. one and
one-half miles northeast of here. this
afternoon.
The miners were:
Marcus Kalovitch, 40, family of
five, and Pete Castrola, single. both
of Johnston City.
The injured include James Cover.
35, and Ed Jenkins, So, miners who
were slightly overcome by gas. The

could not be learned
$50 At Work In Mine
About $50 men were at work in the
mine when the explosion occurred.
Seven miners. including the three In
jured were imprisoned for short
while.
The explosion is believed by mine
officials to have taken place when
the three surveyors, carrying Oil
burning lamps on their caps. went
into an unused entry in which gas
pocket had formed. The two miners
were digging coal near this entry.
The explosion was heard throughout
the mine and all but IL of the men
escaped before the gas could over
take them.
A rescue team from Herrin, ILL.,,
found seven men overcome by gas
and the five bodies. The seven men
had taken refuge in another entry.
Drawn to the mouth of the pit by
the deafening noise of the explosion,
hundreds ofmen, women and children
were overjoyed when most of their
relatives, for whose safety they had
feared, came streaming out of the
shaft Immediately after the explo-
sion.

the fielding OF hunts. He was

on the paths. His individual playing
WAS one of the factors in the success
of the old Orioles.
Joined Americans
With Wilbert Robinson. formerly
of the Giants, and now manager of
the Brooklyn team. McGraw was sold
to the st. Louis club in 1900 for $1S,-
900. Both players were ill-pleased
and when the American league reared
its head in 1900, the Giants present
mentor aligned himself with Ban B.
Johnson.
He went back to Baltimore and or
ganized team that was one of the
most popular in the history of the
game. But in 1902 McGraw and
Johnson came to the parting of the
ways and in mldseason the Balti-
more team was so disorganized that
"Mugsy" took off his spiked shoes
and announced that they were on
the shelf forever.
At that time the late Andrew
Freedman was sorrowed by the spec
tacle of the slow-going Giants. the
team he owned, McGraw was rec
commended to him and was hired. TAX
ing the helm in July and remaining
in charge since.
The game has grown big--has had
virtually all of Its growth and grow
ing pains--in McGraw's professional
time. When he came to New York
the old Polo Grounds seated $4,000.
now 1t is $4,000, and third tier to
the grandstand Is to be added next
year. McGraw's life is insured by
the club for 100000 and he owns a
fair share of operating company's
stock.
How McGraw Finished

managership is shown hx this table:
