Five Thousand Attended Requiem Mass for Late
 Giant | .eader
BY JACK CUDDY fef1 Press Staff CoPrasnOn6enf

OhAtCu ECSS Stuh
 New York, Feb 27-Relatives gathered today beneath the sweep cathedral and paid final tribute to basebalfs greatest manager.
 More than 5000 persons in the gray stone cathedral heard the Rev Henry Hammer describe McGraw as a fiery, rugged man who marched past all barriers to suc- cess during his 30 years as man. ager of the New York Giants.
 SorrOwful
 The service opened at 10 a. m. as professional bearers carried the huge mahogany coffin from the into the cathedral. The coffin was corted by priests, acolytes and altar boys. Before the splendid main altor, the casket was placed upon a catafalque. It remained there during the services, with three candles fiickering on either side. The widow, Mrs Blance Sindall McGraw, attended by her sister Mrs stephen Val Lill, and other 
 of the main aisle, while the hon orary pallbearers were on the other.
 As the ceremony proceeded, Tie trO Yon's cathedral choir sang the requiem in Latin. The Rev Vincent De Paul Mulry from St Gather ines church in Pelham, the Nc. Graws' pastor, otficiated.
 Father Mulry was assisted by the Rt Rev Monsignor Michael J. La- velle, presiding in the sacistry; Rev John Nestor deacon; Rev Robert Woods sub-deacon, and Rev Lester Graham, master of ceremonies. Additional assistants were the acolytes and altar boys.
 The services required an hour and half. .
 Police Escort
 The private funeral cortege of hearse and four limousines left the McGraw home inPelham Manor for the cathedral at 8:30 a. m. It was escorted to the New York city line by Pelham Manor motorcycle po- lice
 After the services at the cathed- ral, the small cortege accompanied the hearse to the Pennsylvania station. The 1915 D. m. train was to carry McGraw back to Balti- more where he first rose to fame as third baseman with the rough nd-ready old Orioles. At Balti- more the casket will be placed in vault in Bonnie Brae cemetery to await burial.

He took his seat on the edge of the bench. As the perspirinS players came off the field, John McGraw, an 18-year-old weighing 12O pounds, was jostled and showed from the bench by the tired ath- letes seeking their seats.
 Little Mac quickly picked himself up, trembling with fury, and started swinging his best Sum day punches at a big outfelder who had usurped what McGraw regarded as his perch.
 Thus before the hard-bitten Or.- oles had seen Little Mac field a ball or stand at the plate he was accepted as one of them.
 Great Player
 McGraw's abilities as a player have not been acclaimed as loudly as his managerial genius. But, off his record, he was one of the greatest ball players of his or any other day.
 When McGraw got on base, the boys keeping tally usually figured on run. If they didn't advance him on the paths with hits, he stole. And how he stole is proved indisputably by his record of AZ stolen bases over period of 1,OS0 games. His best year was '94 when he stole 77, his next best '99, his last year with the Orioles, when he copped 73.
 McGraw averaged nearly a run pre- game throughout his active career. His success at getting around the sacks is further shown by the fact that he scored 1,O1S runs while making 1906 hits. Of course, he was followed by great batsmen, such as Keller. Kelley. Hugh Jennings, Jack Doyle and others, but he contributed his own shore of hist, too, batting 1884 as a lifetime average. That is the highest mark on record for a ma- He was one of the hardest men jor league third baseman. in baseball to pitch to. Rarely did he hit at bad balls. He was un- paralleled as lead-off man, not only because he let the had ones pass, but he could hit the good ones. In later years as a manager he had no sympathy for batter WnO was nlC Dy a piICIleu Udii. ~ was McGraw's theory it wouldn't have happened if the man at the plate hadn't taken his eye off the | ball.
 | Pals
 | Little Mac roomed with HugheS Jennings, kid with kindred spirit in that nothing was too tough fol him. They not only played base ball side by side when Jennings became shortstop and McGraw was shifted to third, but they talked il at night, dreamed of it and prac, ticed it in the mornings to correct their weaknesses.
 McGraw had fielding weaknesses. Jennings hit ground balls to him hour after hour. Jennings was shy at the plate. McGraw pitched to him until Hughey became a BOO hitter.
 They had ambitions for an edu- cation. McGraw arranged for both of them to coach the St Bonaven- ture team at Allegany, N. Y.. in re- turn for board and tuition during the winter They studied for four

BRITISH RACING
CLASSIC ON AIR
Columbia Will Broadcast
Annual Running of EPSON
Derby.

"HE annual running of the Ep-
som Derby, England's most
famous turf classic, which
L draws a picturesque crowd
numbering hundreds of thou
sands, will be described over the
Columbia network Wednesday, June
6. A British racing expert will give
narrative description of the event.
The broadcast will be short-waved
to America through facilities of the
British Broadcasting Corporation.
A large field of famous horse flesh
from far-fiung parts of the world is
entered in this years race, but, as
usual, an English-bred thoroughbred,
Colombo, owned by Lord Glanely, is
the top-heavy favorite. Colombo is
the Cavalcade of this years English
turf. The next favorite in the early
betting Is Windsor Lad The race
is over a course of one and a half
miles and will pay the winner ap-
proximately $4,000.
The EPSON Derby first was run
more than $50 years ago-in 1880, to
be exact-and has served as the
model of many classic turf events
throughout the world, including the
famous Belmont stakes race in
America, which Columbia also will
broadcast June 9. The English race
originally was sponsored by the Earl
Of Derby, head of the House Of
Stanley, from whom both the track
and the event derive their name.
In the century and half since, the
House of Stanley was won the event
only three times, and, likewise, only
three American horse breeders have
had successful entries. These were
Pierre Lorillard, w. C. Whitney and
Richard Croker.
IT'S the unusual in broadcasting
i that the networks are turning to
nowadays. Here are three in
stances of this tendency.
First on the list is found a radio
duet sung" by a bird in England
and another bird in New York. Maybe
they won't be singing exactly the
same tune, but the idea is to pick
up the song of the nightingale in
England and blend it with the tune of
an American canary. This broadcast
is slated for N. B. c. at 6:45 pm.
Tuesday.
Further from the animal kingdom
is to come the rattle of a rattlesnake
and the puff of puff adder from the
Bronx Zoo on Columbia Saturday,
June 2.
On June Is, if tuners-in to Co.
lumbia hear a lot of conversation
it will merely be the telephone ex-
change of New Yorks Chinatown in
action. The chain has obtained per-
mission to evesdrop for a 15-minute
period at the exchange whose 1000
phone users are Chinese.
WHEN the United States Fleet
w ball is held in the Waldorf
Astoria in New York, Friday,
N B. c. microphones in the grand
ball room will pick up the colorful
festivities for the networks.
The occasion will mark the first
time that the Fleet ball, heretofore
a private function held at Annapolis
during the celebration of June week,
has taken place outside the Academy.
The program will include descrip-
tions of the ball, and the music of
three orchestras, those of Emil Cole
man, Howard Lanin and Enric
Madriguera. Paul Whiteman will
appear as guest conductor. In addi-
ton to the standard announcing and
orchestra microphones, huge para
bolas will be used to pick up the
sounds of the ball.
