McGraw, now a dignified and
wealthy sportsman, the ''Muggsy"
McGraw Of other and fightiner' days
on the ball field, has won much
praise in the last four years In q,
city where he was being PANIED
before. even while winning pen
nants. The trouble in New York
with McGraw was that he did not
win q world series back in 1905
1921 and lost several Of them.
The Giants beat the Athletics In
the worlds series back in 1905
with Mathewson winning three Of
the four victories and McGinnity
the other. They grabbed their next
pennant in 1911 and the Athletics
bounced them around. The Boston
Red Sox whipped them in the big
series in 1912 and the Athletics
again in 1913. Then when McGraw
put over the Giants once more in
1917 Clarence Rowland and Kid
Gleason led the White Sox to
triumph against him.
New York was getting sore on
McGfAW for winning pennants
and losing all the big fights.
Starting In 1921 the Giants played
three world series in . row
with the Yankees, won the first
two and lost last year. That was
all right with New York, which, !.
was pretty much pro Yankee by
1898 anyway.
Now that McGraw has staggered
through to his fourth straight flag
with q game but crippled ball club.
New York win forgive him even
u Washington does happen to knock
him Off
But McGraw win Be- the leading
figure In the world series no
matter what happens to his Giants.
He's the first manager tc win four
pennants In q row and break 4

ord and that Is something. The
record may never be tied while
McGraw Is in baseball, perhaps not
before he dies. He alsosis the only

Alley Cat Is Often
Most Valuable
To Team

Animals are barred in base
ball clubs locker rooms, but
there are exceptions. If ball
players make up their minds
that they are unbeatable when
an animal is attached to their
team, the animal becomes more
valuable than all the converse
ton any manager is capable Of.
An alley cat can build up mo-
rale and spirit where all else
fails.

TT is not inrequeny that pregnant thought couched
j in simplest dcton, drips from Henry Ford's none
toogarruous lips For instance, this from a recent
interview:
THE president of the United States has partisan
duties His oath is registered in heaven to the
nation-not to serve party"
It is the gospel truth. Yet always reminded
by the politicians that the president in office is the
leader of his party and it is his party to whom he is
expected and does pay oyerabundance of official
tribute
Few presidents in the general Of executive busl-
ness have been able to free themselves entirely of part
sanshp and invariably place the nation first and above
party Few have we had who capable of measur-
ing their eaths the full and giving practical effect to
the proposition that he who the nation best
