tmteN PrcSS StAU SOrreslOHue"e
 New York, Sept 25.-(UP)- They've called Bill Terry almost everything--miracle man, mystery man and dunce-but he's really one of basebalrs super-salesmen.
 This brawny young fellow from Memphis stepped into the shoes os tho mighty John McGraw, and in his first full season ns manager sold the club tho pennant and sold the fans the club.
 Terry tho salesman is c pleasant featured fellow in e rough sort Of way. Hc parts his dark hair q little to tho side of his face makes you think of lighting Irish" in spite of his soft southern drawl and easy movements. Your first impression is one of smouldering belligerence. Meet him a hundred times and the impression lasts. he's a fighter.

 Terry sold himself to the Giants as 6 fighter. He had been holding out and threatening to retire, "be- cause I'm Just playing for tho money anyway" ever since ho came to tho Giants in the fall of 1923, He was the clubs out standing rebel against McGraw and the organization last year. So they made him manager.
 Some of the writers thought 1t whale of a joke.
 The club was in last place when Terry took 1t, and the Giants fin. ishcd the season in sixth place tic with St Louis. Then Terry went to work. During the winter he hired and fired right and left. The greatest upheaval in the Giants history.
 When the 1893 outfit showed up at training camp. the writers thought 1t hopeless. It was non- descript aggregation that had no chance. Everyone figured the Giants for second division except Terry. He knew he had a team that would fight.
 That's all I want he told the players. All want you to do is fight. hustle. Just get out and win to-day's ball game. There's nothing much to this business. All we have to do Is beat those guys to-day. That's easy. Just win to-day. There's no tomorrow"
 So the Giants, not a 300 hitter among them except Terry and not a fast base runner in the carload, became sold on the idea that base ball wasn't as hard as 1t was cracked up to be.
 Easy on Pitchers
 About mid-season., the fans woke up to the fact that New York was putting up fight. one writer accused Terry of bullying" his men. Far from that, Memphis Bill was the most popular man on the club. He even resorted to the mound huddle" to keep his pitch CTS in good spirits. Instead or ordering a pitcher out of the box immediately, Terry and the other players clustered about him to find out what's wrong. Of course Terry's word is final, but he IS open to suggestions. In one game, the writer recalls three such hud- dles in one inning, and three pitch CTS left the box.
 And so now Mir Terry. who down in Memphis Is shriner. Chamber of Commerce man. director of Boy Scouts. vice president of an insec- ticide concern, stockholder in chain of gas stations and auto laundrles, and contact man for the Standard oil company of Tennes- see, is selling his club the idea that there's nothing much to this World Series. All we have to do Is bea Washington in the first game"

CfldC lG was tllIOuSus
 "Chuck, I am done as manager of the Giants" said McGraw. II am done with anything that has to do with the running of q ball club on the field. l am tired, and my doctor told me this morning that I will have to quite if want to keep by health. I suppose play the game too hard. At any rate, we've got to get new manager, and we must name him in 6 hurry. I would like to be relieved at once.
 McGraw's Surprise.
 There was a series of confer ences the next day. There was some talk of giving the post to Dave Bancroft,h who had been running the Giants under orders from Me- % Graw, who had been away i'll most of the spring. Frank Frisch,' na- tive of New York, former Giant and destined to become pilot or the Cardinals this summer, also was considered. Fred Lindstrom, out fielder, who was traded to the Pi- rates last winter, was still another candicandidate.
 But at the close of the day on June 2 McGraw ended the debate and sprang one of the surprises Of baseball history. ,
 "Pass up all those you have been talking about and give the job to Bill Terry" McGraw said. "Terry Is old enough to command the respect of the men with whom he has been associated on the Giants for some years. He has poise, he Is calm, he knows a lot hA la a nrAnf nllVs or himself, and he knows how to handle men"
 The Emperor Departs.
 And SO 1t came about that when the Giants gathered in their club house at the Polo Grounds on Frl- day, June 3, 1032, they found this bulletin posted:
 "From this day William H. Terry Is the manager of the New York Baseball club. "Charles A. Stoneham, president
 Short, amazing! The Giants stood around and real 1t over and over again. Terry was closed in tho office which for seasons and sea. sons had been McGraw's private sanctum. Behind that locked door, Terry was cleaning out the papers which McGraw had accumulated over a long span of campaigns.
 John Jospeh McGraw. for 3l years boss-yes, czar, of the New York Giants-was gone! No fare well by the Little Napoleon going to self exile in baseball 7lba. No valedictory by the old general as he eased himself out of the pic. ture. For years the Giants had been McGraw. and McGraw had been the Giants. For years, until Babe Ruth came to tho Yankees in 1920, McGraw had been New York baseball.
 Is This q Joke?
 At once the strong calcium or national baseball limelight was thrown on William Harold Terry. He had ben with the Giants since 1923, but now men began to ask "Who is this bird, and how come he aualifes to step into McGraw'B shoes? Why, 1t can't bel They don't mean to come out and tell us that Terry can do what McGraw could not accomplish! This thing IS almost q Jike."
 However, here are those Giants, revamped over the winter to suit Terry's notions and 1888 scheme, going Into c world series.
 Here arc those Giants with a glory which had escaped McGraw since 1924. Terry took over Q last place team, and finished the 1882 campaign in G tie for sixth place with the st Louis Cardinals.
 From half of sixth place to ownership of the pennant and a jlace in the sun is a gorgeous ad- vance, indeed. Who really Is this Terry person?
