GIAN IS OVER
Telephone
Wrenched Knee Keeps Him
Off Bench, But He Matches
From Clubhouse

NEW YORK, June 1s.-There is
always something new in baseball.
The Giants, now playing at the Polo
Grounds, are being managed by
telephone. Manager McGraw is still
laid up with wrenched knee. He
is able to motor down from Pelham
each day and with the aid of his
clutches he climbs up to the TOP
floor of the new clubhouse in center.
field. Seated in an easy chair with
his knee in a comfortable position,
he looks from his tower window
down upon the Giants and their foe.
With his field glasses the Giants
leader watches every move. He can.
not keep still; he is playing the game
with his men on the field. OccA-
sionally he would rush a messenger
to the Giants bench with a sugges.
ton. This operation was too slow.
So during the past few days a pri.
vate wire has been installed between
Manager McGraw's lookout and the
Giants bench. The bell rings often
and Acting Manager Jennings.
Coach Dolan and Captain Frisch are
boss of the club.
The effect, however, is not the
same as when Manager McGraw Is
on the bench. When he makes a
suggestion he likes every player
regular and rookie, to hear what he
has to say. The telephone handicaps
him and limits his audience. The
Giants leader perhaps more than
any other manager in baseball has
always been the boss Of his players
He makes the suggestions and as
sumes all the blame If they GO
wrong. The players are used to this
leadership and naturally they miss It
