TERRY TO FACE
DIFFICULT JOB
LEADING GIANTS

NEW YORK, June 4. U.P)-Big
Bill Terry, dark haired, slugging
first baseman of the New York
Giants, has announced in typical
southpaW fashion that hereafter
the Giants will be allowed to think,
and will be managed as John j.
McGraw, the little Napoleon of
baseball, never managed them.
Terry succeeded the rough rid
ing, autocratic McGraw yesterday
succeeded the man who once pro-
tested on the field that there's too
much thinking on this ball club"
McGraW, it was, who did the
thinking-so far as his orders were
concerned. The players, Terry indi-
Gated will do their own thinking
! from now on.
Terrys leniency and plans for
| individual thought will replace Nc
GraW'S rigid discipline and military
orders-and maybe by this sudden
reversal of policy the Giants can
be lured from the National Leagues
cellar.
The venerable, square-jawed Nc
Graw stepped down from the man
agership after three decades of
constant battling for victory, dur
ing which he won 10 pennants,
| three world championships, and
, finished in first division every
year save two.
But now, at SO, completing al
years of active connection with
baseball, he leaves the Giants
floundering in the same last place
where he found them in 1902. The
greatest little fighting man who
ever drew on spikes promised
couple years ago that he would
never quit until they carry me off
the field"
Victim of Sinus
The fire-ball manager became i'll
during the clubs recent western
trip, and he saw his last full game
on May 10. A severe attack of
sinus trouble afflicted him.
Only when physicians decided
McGraw no longer could accom-
pany the club on it's trips, did he
decide to resign.
"I don't believe in long distance
management" the Master Mind"
explained.
Terry, the Memphis slugger, is
faced with the same problems and
has the same opportunity which
greeted McGraw when he took over
the team 80 years ago.
He is young, only "a. He is pos
sibly the best first baseman in
baseball unequalled as a fielder,
also National League batting cham
pion in 1880 with a percentage of
.401. Last year Chick Hafey beat
him out for the title by frac-
tional margin. This season he has
averaged BAL.

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

OhitCu IIGSS oldll SOIICopOuuCiI
NEW YORK, June 4. Three
months ago they called him "un-
grateful and spoke of Chasing
him out of baseball unless he came
to terms.
Yesterday they handed him the
richest heritage in baseball.
The only explanation for that one
may be that Bill Terry was once a
left-handed pitcher. Anything can
happen to those guys, you know.
And does. Yes, that must be the
answer. Terry, you know was the
man the Giants were going to trade,
shoot or sell this year if he didn't
take a lop in salary. He was the
guy they were going to cut loose
in favor Of one Sam Leslie.
And then-right out of what the
boys call a clear blue sky--they
hauled him in on the carpet and
said: Here's the Giants. You're
the boss"
Strange business, pals, mighty
strange. So strange, in fact, that
you couldn't walk around this mans
town today without getting
smacked on the noggin by hun
dreds of high-class rumors, all in
a hurry to get somewhere. These
are few we heard in a stroll from
the circle to the square:
l. McGraW was cut off because
he and Stoneham and the rest of
the front office got tired of snarl-
ing at one another. -.
2. McGraW was put on the spot
because the players had finally
tired of his autocratic ways and
were "dogging' it to spite him.
3. JaWn was tossed out on his
ear because, despite the clubs will
ingness to go the limit in the way
of first class talent, the Giants
insisted on losing ball games.
4. That McGraW got the gate be-
cause the team was not only los
ing games but, what is more i'm
portant, money.
5. That McGraw got out of there
only because he had lost control
of his men.
6. That McGraw stepped out be-
cause he had tired of managing a
ball club that either couldn't or
wouldn't win.
Reason Doubted
1t was pretty tough today to find
customer who really believed that
notice tackled on the club door. I
mean the one that gave Ill health
as the only reason for the little
Napoleon stepping down from the
drivers seat. Well. maybe the skep-
tics are right in believing that
sickness angle is all the old goggy-
woggy. Certainly, they've got
something to base their belief on.
For wasn't it John McGraw, who,
when the report spread around in
1925 that he was quitting, sum-
moned the boys into his room and
gave off a speech that went some
thing like this:
$50 I'm quitting, eh? Well, let
me tell you this. The day 1 quit
the Giants will be the same day I'm
unable to drag myself out of bed"
And today sick or not sick, he |
was able to get about.
But let's stop worrying about why |
he quit. The real reason-if his |,
age and i'll health aren't twill |
come into the daylight sooner or |
later. The burning question right |
now is-what will Terry do with |
the Giants? What sort of a man
ager will the tobacco-chewing, |
hard-hitting, smart-fielding, smart |
thinking Memphis boy make? Ger |
tainly, the owners couldn't have
handed him the club at a worse
and at the same time, better time. !,
They're in last place, yes. But that
very fact makes it easier on Bill. I

SENATE FACES
SHOWDOWN ON
R. F. C. PROBE
COuzenS Thinks Criticised
Loans Warranted, Though
Timed by Politics.
BY RAY TUCKER
Times stan whiter

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-De-
cision whether to hold a senatorial
investigation of alleged political use
Of Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton funds will be put up to the sem
ate soon as a result of prelim-
mary inquiry made by a special
subcommittee.
Despite a general feeling among
subcommittee members that the
administration timed certain loans
for political effect during the cam
paign, even Senator Carter Glass
Dem, va. agrees that the only
question involved are whether the
collateral was sufficient and the adj
vances made in accord with the law.
Senator James Couzens (Rep..
Mlcho, who has kept track of each
loan since last spring. is inclined to
believe superficial evidence tustifies
the advances.
If the senate wishes to GO into
the use of the money in detail,
Couzens points out that funds must
be provided for hiring accountants
ana examiners. The committees
facilities are insufficient to make a
complete check on the r. F. C.'s
defense Of the loans and collateral.
The third member Of the subcom-
mittee, Senator Duncan U. Pitcher
(Dem., Fla, takes the same view.
