McGraw, Inspired by Connie Mack's Great
Comeback, Wanted One More World Series

THERE was a time when McGraw ran the
whole show, and during that time the Giants
won many championships and the various owners
of the club made huge fortunes. McGraw made
his deals, paid his own prices bought and sold
players as the whim struck him, asking no advice
and counting none. He supremacy the boss

McGraw began to fade a leader when two

At the age of SO McCraw steps down because Of
falling health. with his Giants in last place appar-
emily headed for place in particular an ironical
climax OF career marked by many successes and
stern intolerance for mediocrity.
McGraw is possessed Of all the normal vanities
that successful leaders develop He is vain about his
position in baseball his records as a builder OF
championship teams, his distinction as the master
mind and the Little Napoleon. To quit with his
team on the rocks must have been terrific sacrifice
TO his pride.
McGraw wanted to stay in baseball long enough
to get into one world series. The comeback OF
Cornelius McGillicuddy with the Athletics stirred
the Giants leader with mixed emotions of envy and
admiration Envy, because McGraw yearned for Just
such spot himself-admiration because it demon
strated the old guard still capable.
McGraw has been the Giants so long that the
question naturally arises: What is to become of the
Giants under new regime? Ten years ago this
question would have been more pertinent than it is
today The truth is, McGraw has not been the
Giants for long tiLae. And by the same token the
Giants have not been the Giants. The baseball ms
