considered good baseball, McGraW
would have played for the neces-
Sary run to tie up the ball game
At such a late stage. with only a
few innings left, the theory is that
the game should first be tied before
gambling on more than one run
In other words, you must tie any
game before you have a chance to
win it.
It so happened the second bat
ter up in the inning was good
hit-and-run man. This fact
caused McGraw to gamble every
thing to win in that one inning.
The batSman hit safely, sending
the runner to third. Before the
session was over the Giants had
three runs, enough to win.
CAFETY first tactics in baseball
~ never have appealed to Nc
Graw. He prefers the most daring
plays that offer greater possibilities
if successfully executed.
There you have the big reason
for the great popularity of McGraw
over a period of more than twenty
five years. The public loves the
chance-taker, one who is willing to
gamble with a punch rather than
resorting to science at all times for
victory.
Now for his methods OFF the field.
Certainly no manager has ever
dominated a team more than Nc
Graw and always had the courage
of his convictions, right or wrong.
It is a we'll known fact that there
have been mighty few pennant win
ming ball teams that haven't
boosted a great second baseman.
Two years ago, McGraw had none
other than frankie Frisch, prob
ably the most valuable second base
man in baseball, all angles consid-
cred. In an important series at st.
Louis, McGraw used some tcbasco
language on Frisch and that eve
ming Frisch departed for home.
Il = =
lot of managers would have
smoothed over the breach, but not
John McGraw. Quitting the
team in the heat of the pennant
battle because of call-dOwn was
an error that McGraw refused to
erase.
TOR sending Frisch to st. Louis,
II McGraw received the great
Rogers Hornsby in return, out
standing star of the National
League and regarded as just the
player to combat the popularity OF
Babe Ruth in New York.
That trade was sensation, but
this spring AcGraw sent Hornsby
to Boston for Hogan and Welch,
and that set even more tongues to
wagging. I have never been able to
figure that trade myself, but L am
willing to believe McGraw had sui
ficiently good reasons.
Now McGraw sets the fans talk
ing again with Andy Cohen, a jew
ish boy who made a most auSplc-
ious debut. However it is most dill
flcult to believe he can Immediately
fill the shoes of Hornsby. Perhaps
later, but not this year. The Giants
are certain to be handicapped by
the passing of Hornsby.
McGraw is of the opinion that
Cohen will fill the bill. That is the
best recommendation the youngster
could get. And McGraw, by the
way, has always had great second
sackers on his teams.

Tribe Ties in Ninth

Still battling, the Betzelites tied
the count at 9 and 8 doing a come
back for two runs in the ninth. In
the twelfth the Tribe put over a run
in their half to regain the lead, 10
to 8, and then Swetonic took the
Indian mound and the Saints fairly
devoured him in very few min
utes. Davis singled, Haas walked,
Foss sacrificed and CASTOR doubled,
scoring Davis and Haas with the
winning runs. Swetonic's
efforts proved sweet" for Nick
Aliens crew.
Johnny Anderson, a hero in Min
neapolis Sunday, was bust here
Monday. He went hitlesS and COM
mitted two errors in the eighth that
kept st. Paul in the game. He
dropped a fly ball and followed that
boot with a wild throw to the in
field, the two errors giving st. Paul
two runs after they already had
scored three in that round.

Specie relieved Burwell after the
eighth and held the locals scCreless

permit Spencer to pinch hit and
Swetonic, the third Tribe hurler
used, got greeted" as mentioned
previously.
st. Paul used up four twirlers,
Belts, McQuaid, Polli and Heimach.
Being defeated wasn't all of the
disaster that struck the Indians
Monday. Fred Haney, sensational
third sacker and hard hitter, was
injured sliding in the fifth inning
and he was unable to continue,

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1928-03-16
DR., LUKAN Is
UNDER ARREST
IN AUSTIN, TEX.
Man Wanted by Local Auth.
critics Awaiting Sentence
IN Southern State

After tracing him all over the
United States since his sudden exit
from Bismarck almost . year ago,
but always just one jump behind
him, Sheriff Rollin Welch received
word today that DR.. r. Lukan, who
Is wanted here for passing several
worthleaS checks, Is under arrest at
Austin, Texas, and 10 awaiting SEN
tence there on q imilar charge.
The self styled doctor came into
Bismarck in April last year, driving
z high priced car. and opened Of
fices here after spreading the word
around that he was = near-famous
physician. When he fou:.d that
credit bureau officials were investi-
eating his record elsewhere he left
the city suddenly, after having given
checks at various places here in
payment for furnishings for his Of
flee and other merchandise.
He was traced from here to Su-
perior, Wis.,, where he abandoned his
large car, but he made his getaway
there before officers began looking
for him. He was heard from by
Burleigh county authorities in Ne
braska, Georgia, and several other
southern states, but managed to
elude the police until he reached
Austin, Texas, recently.
According information eiven
Sheriff Welch by the Texas Of
ficials, DR.. Lukan admits having
passed worthless checks in 50 states
during tho past year. Sheriff WEIGH
has not decided whether he will "put
in = bid" for Lukan after his SEN
:ance is completed in Texas.
