 The French Baseball federation, having long heard of John J. Mc- Graw as the Napoleon" of our na- tional game, naturally turns to the gray-haired chieftain of the New York Giants in time of national crisis. Wherewith the following let ter to him:
 Just a few words to let you know what the situation of the baseball is in France.
 Our association was founded in 1924 after the visit to Paris made by the Giants and the White Socks and the members put to work in order for the French people to get acquainted with and learn to love your beautiful national sport.
 Unfortunately, in our desire to render that game more popular we have to consider many an obstacle, the most important of which is the question of getting the proper out fit.
 Many French clubs would be willing to practice baseball but they would require the proper out fit, balls, gloves, bats, uniforms, etc, and all these articles are now adays very expensive. Where does the solution lie?
 Tt lies with MT. McGraw. He is as Napoleon for the American baseball and our American friends here say, will surely find, either money, through arranging a match for our benefit or the outfit itself, used gloves and balls and bats. would suit the French beginners and perhaps he will find both for our Association.
