BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April S.
John ]. McGraw, q name to con-
jure with in baseball, is once
more In active command Of his
New York Giants, but he seelrls
d different McGraw from the old
time McGraw. He seems far
cider, for one thing, and far
tanner.
The old McGraw was q pudgy
fighting man, norid Of face and
nervous in action, looking for
trouble at all times and never
backing up. He was noisy and
quarrelSOn1e. He was rightly
termed the Little Napoleon
The new McGraw is thinner
and more seIf-controlled. He still
has a healthy red in his rounded
cheeks. But he makes less noise
seeks fewer scraps and seems
headed for the house slippers and
the warm CRATE near at hand.
II is all business on, the Giants
bench, Players speak In whispers,
always keeping one eye on McGraw.
Before leaving their Sarasota train
ing camp the Giants were given
their signs Tor use on the field, and
McGraW, from this place on the
bench, gives the signs for every
thing done out there under the sun
That may explain the business.Iike
attitude OF the New York players.
Only one voice ID ever heard
from the Giants bench. That
comes from Roger Bresnailan, a
former peerless backstOp with the
Giants, has replaced the ailing
Hughey Jennings as coach He is
said not to be making much Of
hit there. either.
IF McGraw only gets into uni
form and coaches from third base,
says a veteran New York sports
writer, pittsburgh will never win
another pennant. McGraw is per-
sOnally respected for his baseball
team. Then, too, he has a way
with him that makes the players
fight for everything and always
keep trying When he is off the
bench, the change is noticed at once.
There is an immediate let-down
among the players, not that they
don't keep trying to win. but they
go about their work in a more slip
shod manner, that's ALL
Frequently McGraw motions a
yOungster to sit beside him be-
tween innings. The player is al
ways listening closely for McGraw
talks hardly above a whisper,
peeEing closely out upon the field.
No loud noise, no circus stuff
but plenty Of straight business.
That's what winning ball games

McGraw was seriously i'll last fall.
It is rumored that he came within
a hair Of kicking off. The night
life is no more for him. He has to
take the best of care of his health,
and he is doing just that thing.
That's why he is thinner, less
active, less pugnactous. In a word,
McCsraw is growing old. But he is
still great manager and sitting
close to that New York branch
proves this beyond argument. lie
