McGraW After
Three Titles

John McGraw OF the New York
Giants seeks new laurels in the
managerial world.
No manager has ever won three
world series In a row. That Is what
McGraw Is aiming at.
Tho peppery leader Of the Giants
Is on the way to accomplish that
desire. He won a pennant and q
world Championship in 1921.
McGraw believes that the add
ton Of Groh, and possibly one or
two other deals no has IN mind,
will render the Giants well nigh
invincible for a couple OF years.
1t Is said McGraw plans to re-
tire from tho active management
OF the club at the close Of the 1929
campaign. He hopes by that time
TO hayo made a record that will
give the managers Of the future
something to shoot at.
No major league manager has
ever won three championships In
a row. Chance las come the
closest.
When he ruled the Chicago Cubs
Chance won three pennants. but
only two world Championships.
The Chicago Cubs captured the
National league pennants in 1906,
1907 and 1908. The White Sox beat
Chances great team in 1906 for
the title. The next two years the
Cubs defeated the Detroit Tigers
without much trouble.
Hughey Jennings when IN charge
at Detroit won pennants in 1907,
1908 and 1909, but was never able
to beat National League club in
the annual classic.
Connie Mack won pennants and
world championships in 1910 and
1911 but was unable to make It
three In a row. the Boston Red Sox
beating his club out in 1912.
With young ball club hard
hitters and fast base runners, Nc

By FRANK H. sIMoNDS.

PARIS, April s.-A week ago i
wrote that the Washington confer
ence had made little European i'm
preston and that in France il was
practically ignored. But the past
few days have seen a change. De-
bates in the Senate over the four
power treaty have excited interest.
The addition of reservations has
been noted with interest as supply
ing a precedent for French action
and think the French senate
means to follow that precedent and
in the matter of the five-power
treaty, reserve to France the right
of much greater tonnage.
In the meantime in the French
parliament and out of it. the events
at Washington are being considered
and the first reaction is that
largely through the blunders of the
French representatives France was
placed in an inferior position, treat
ed as a second-class power. and
ignored in all important consulta-
tions. France feels that in Wash
ington British success was won by
superior British diplomacy and
propaganda. but France also feels
reservation upon one product OF
British diplomacy. France is free TO
deal with another.

at the apparent growth in the
United States of hostility to France.
Recent events have shown that the
Boyden note, and the language of
the Genoa note all have been ac-
cepted as Indicative Of American
disapprobation and as evidence Of
gulf between America and
France. This is the emotion of
the people without regard TO public
life.
But in the press and parliament
there is stirring still another emo
ton. Public men and the press feel
that in endeavoring by the use OF

MONEY HIDDEN
NEAR ENGRAVING
BUREAU, IS RUMOR
Secret Service Agents Re
ported Digging for
Bundles.

Without startling Developments"
the first day of the investigation
inventory at the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing by Treasury De-
partment accountants and Depart
ment of Justice operatives was
completed yesterday.
While rumors of big develop
mehts later" continued in circula-
tion, Treasury Department officials,
under whose supervision the bu-
,reau is operated, declared that
shortage predictions made in some
quarters were entirely without
foundation.
Yesterdays activities of those
selected to conduct the inventory
for which the producing divisions
of the bureau have been closed for
an indefinite period" were given
over principally to arranging the
checking-up work, it is said, al
though some of the actual checking
has already begun.
l. Louis A. Hill. who was appointed
director of the bureau Immediately
after President Harding's executive
order resulted in dismissal OF
twenty-seve division executives
was utterly fatigued as the result
of his strenuous labors." according
to a member of his family last
night
The inventory taking will be re.
sumed today. when the bureaus
store of bank notes, stamps and
other supplies will be submitted to
a rigid check.
Treasury Department officials
last night denied that the finding
of a bundle of mutilated IS bills
in the Potomac River by a boat
man on Friday morning had any
connection with the closing of the
bureau or the ordered inventory
Secret Service operatives also de-
MED any connection between the
two occurrences.
Secret Service agents, aided by
police, however, are reported to be
digging in several places near the
bureau trying to find bundles OF
money and bonds which they were
informed by a tipster had been
hidden there.
Director Hill said the money
fished from the river had been torn
into small pieces and his only
theory was that the notes possibly
had been stolen and that the per-
son responsible had taken fright
and thrown them away. II every
fragment had been of a separate
note. the total valuei would have
been about $4,000. From the ex-
animation thus far made of the MP
tilated currency. he, said, 1t is i'm
possible to tell whether or not II
had come out of circulation or from
the bureau directly. The fragments
had evidently been in water some
time. Paper money, become worn
through usage, is returned to the
Treasury Department, cut into
halves and turned over to the bu-
reau to be made into pulp.
