United Press Sports Editor.

NEW YORK, July s.-John McGraw
probably looks back with regret on a
lot OF things in his career. He may
be sorry for having been the central
figure In numerous discrediting af.
fairs. but he never will be required to
apologize for the way he has treated
his ball players.
AT the cost of thousands Of dollars
and the singing of the sharp tongue
Of criticism, McGraw has stuck by
ball players who were loyal to him
years after they had passed their
prime
Two years ago McGraw was accused
by New York OF hanging the pennant
hopes of the Giants by playing Larry
Doyle and Art Fletcher on the infleld.
No one knew better than McGraw that
both were through, but he would not
let them go until he found q good place
for them.
He found a managerial berth for
Doyle and sent Fletcher to Phila-
delphia to inherit the job OF team pilot
Fletcher never landed the Job. be-
cause he was forced TO leave the game
on account Of private affairs just be-
fore the vacancy occurred.
When McGraw traded George Burns
to the Cincinnati Reds this year. the
fans wanted the Giant house to fall
on him. That deal now appears In a
different aspect because 1t is reliably
reported that Pat Moran is to be re-
Ieved from the leadership Of the Reds
and Burns is to succeed him.
The Giants are taking care Of lot
of old timer baseballers. Amos Rusie
is day Waterman and assistant super
intendent Of the Polo grounds. John

APPROVE NEW OFFER
OF SOVIET RUSSIA
Russia to Negotiate Directly With
Foreigners for Settlement
of Claims.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)

tby Associated Press Leased Wlre.l
The Hague.-The nom Russian com
mission of the conference here this
afternoon approved the proposal made
by Mixim Litvinoff in connection with
the debt and property compensation
questions. Resolutions were adopted
stating that this action on the part Of
the Russians would create a favorable
atmosphere for further negotiations.
The Russians suggested an arrange
ment by which Russia would undertake
to negotiate directly with foreigners
for the payment of compensation for
condscated property and .bondholders
for settlement of the Russian debt.
The Russians proposed that all the
delegations, including the Russian, sub
NIT this project to their respective
governments and await an answer for
one week at The Hague. The Russians
for the time being dropped the ques-
ton of credits as, they said, the non
Russians had declined credits 1t was
announced that the non-Russian repre-
sentatives would meet later to discuss
the proposal. Russia, her representa-
tives said, would engage to make ar
rangeme nts with foreign claimants
within two years.
