 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,000. Both players were i'll. pleased and when the American League reared it's head in 1900 the Giants present mentor aligned him self with Ban B. Johnson
 He went back to Baltimore and organized a team that was ono of the most popular in the history of the game. But in 1902 McGraw and Johnson came to tho parting of the ways and in mid-scason the Balti- more team was so disorganized that "Mugsy" took off his spiked shoes and announced that they were on the shelf for orcr.
 At that time the late Andrew Freedman was sorrowcd by the spec tacle of the slow-going Giants. the team he owned. McGraw was recon mended to him and was hired, taking the helm in July and remaining in charge since.
 Game Grows Big
 The game has grown big-has had virtually all of it's growth and grow ing pains-in McGraw's professional time. When he came to New York the old Polo Ground seated 12,000 now it is 38,000 and a. third tier to the grandstand is to be added next wear.

 His career is remarkable but not surprising. It was a sane, steady march to the heights of his profes- sion, intercepted now and then by some flight of temperament or of temper but it has all been in one direction. He is in the logical place for such a logical man to occupy.

His profes sional debut was made when he dis carded short trousers, but whether he did one of those two things to effect the other is a question which his biographers must debate The present manager of the Cham pion Giants has been in the game professionally for 32 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 na tive heath of Truxton, N.

Completion of Flow Line
and Storage Awaited Be-
fore Drilling in.
Latest report on the Amerada
test will be found on Page /.

Two flows totaling 40 barrels
were made by the Amerada Pc
troleum Company's test No. / on
the Baptiste farm, in the south
west of the northeast quarter of
the southeast quarter OF section
so, 5s.1e, last night. The first
flow, estimated at 10 barrels,
boiled two feet over the top of
the 10-inch casing at about 6 p.
m, and the second occurred while
the operators were making effort
TO fasten the control head, and
flowing about 10 feet over the
top of the casing was estimated
TO have yielded 80 barrels more.
The control head was then sue
cessfully fastened. and will be
held there until preparations TO
drill the well in are completed.
The yield from the two flows
was run into the 500-barrel steel
storage tank which had been ready
on the lease. A 5-inch flow line
is now being connected to the
well and two 250,barrel steel stor-
age tanks are now in course of
construction on the farm. Four
or five more Of similar capacity
are to be erected within the next
few days. AS soon as the flow
line is completed, it is expected
that the test will be drilled in.
A steel line measurement taken
Tuesday afternoon revealed the
correct depth of the top Of the
sand to be 1912 feet with the
total depth Of the hole at 1916
feet. showing the sand to be pene-
trated four feet.
Prior to the first flow yester-
day the hole was bailed for about
three quarters Of an honr and
much oil was taken out in this
manner, the hole gradually filling
after each bailer was extracted.

Have you read it as much as

The group back behind laughed a
bit-the old man they had urged
Scott was the political leader of his
district, and n student of the league
who had read every word of it and
every treatise on it which had been
available to him since January, 1919.
And the old man completely routed
the young aspirant to the senate.
