edent of the club and remained in
the role of manager.
Star Begins to Set
Then came the golden days Of
McGraw's life. He had been
frustrated in his hope Of winning
four consecutive National League
pennants in 1914 when the Bos-
ton Braves, goaded by George
Stallings, had risen from last
place on July 4 to sweep past
the Giants in the last 10 days
Of the season and Shatter his
fond hopes.
But in the years of 1921, 1922,
1928 and 1924 his managerial
genius was rewarded with four
! successive pennants and two
world championships. The year
Of 1924 marked the end Of the
string for the great leader, al
though it was not the mellowing
effect of years that brought about
the change.
The American League club,
playing in the Polo Grounds, had
purchased a hard hitting pitcher
by the name of Babe Ruth. Ruth
quickly developed into a home
run hitter, the like Of which
baseball had never seen before.
For two years the Giants were
able to repel the Yankees in
world series play, but the pendu1
lum finally swung the other way.
Where the Giants had drawn
thousands of fans to hundreds
for the Yankees, the balance
shifted against them. No longer
did McGraw have the unlimited
cash with which to purchase the
young players he needed so badly.
And with the rise Of Ruth, the
star Of McGraw began to set.
Resigned in '32
His own i'll health and internal
trouble in the front office Of the
Giants caused the leader to be
absent many a day from the play
ers' bench. Rogers Hornsby came
along to be manager in all but
name for one lurid trip through
the West when McGraw was con-
fined to bed following an automo-
bile injury.
Then came the announcement
in the middle of the 1882 season
that McGraw had resigned as
manager and that Bill Terry, q
young pitcher that he had con-
verted into a first baseman, would
be his successor.
That was the end Of 80 years Of
baseball. McGraw seldom ap-
peared at the Polo Grounds there
after, although he remained vice
president of the club until his last
day.
But McGraw died with his great
ness as a baseball leader secure
as enduring as in those days Of
1908, 1911 or 1921. His name and
fame will never die as long as
baseball is played.

YLAND INDOOR SPORTS TEAMS ENJOY GOOD SEASONS
GENE LEONARD
JASPER HERO
IN VICTORY
BY MICHAEL ]. FOSTER


NEW YORK, March 6.-Gene
Leonard, 19-year-old junior
had been just another student at
Manhattan College for two and
a half years, was the toast of
the Riverside institution today.
Anything the quiet, unassum-
ing Bronx boy wanted was his
for the asking. A second week
on his Easter vacation, as many
extra helpings of dessert as the
dorm" walters could heap on
his plate, a date with the pretti-
est girl in the neighborhood-
anything.
For it was Genes four points
in the shot-put, scored with an
unexpectedneSs which left even
Coach Pete Waters amazed, which
gave Manhattan its first indoor
I. c. A. A. A. A. track and field
championship in history at the
Garden last night.
Four Points Difference
Those four points were all the
difference between the JasperS'
surprisingly high winning total
of 2812 points and the "a points
which N. Y. U. tailed to grab
the runner-up laurels.
Genes was a veritable Frank
Merriwell feat. An Unknown third
stringer on the football squad
he went out for the team Just for
the fun-the Bronx lad had never
bettered ~ feet with the 16-pound
shot before in his life.
Yet, last night, on his very first
heave, Leonard sent the iron ball
soaring IS feet inch. All his
other tries fell short of that mark,
but that first toss was the foun-
dation, as later events proved, for
Manhattan's splendid triumph.
Bill Bonthron's widely-heralded
$500 meters duel with Gene
Venzke was not only completely
overshadowed by the battle for
the team prize, as expected, but
it proved pretty much of a "dud"
from the point of competition,
too.
Bonthron let Venzke set the
pace up to the last turn. There
he jumped the Pennsylvania,
passed him as if he were standing
still and won with 20 yards to
spare in the slow time of 3:57.4.
The rest of the field was strung
out far behind the leaders,
The Washington times., 1934-03-06

And still another will be Eddie
Linke, rookie pitcher. whose main
forte is speed anyhow, and who
isn't completely happy unless he is
firing 'em to his catcher with
plenty Of zip.
Of course Bob Burke'S case must
be brought up again as a last. but
not least, topic. The slender left
handlers arm will be to get by the
entire grind without a sore arm
this year, even though he'll have
to resort to not throwing the ball
at all.

RICHMOND A-P
BOWLERS WIN

The Richmond A. and P. bowl
ers must have the Indian sign"
on their local brethren, for they
not only retained the lead they
picked up when the teams met
in Richmond but increased it to

grocerymen at Lucky Strike last
night.

The Washington times., 1934-03-06

No sore arms unless it can't be
possibly prevented. A good aim
all right, and one that will require
the strictest attention by every
performer in camp, whether he be
pitcher, catcher, infielder. out
fielder, or coach.
Last year Pitchers Bob Burke
and Bill McAfee pulled up with
bad flippers soon after the prac-
tice session had gotten under way.
Forced Out
They were forced out of the
picture for almost two weeks as a
result Of the unhappy situation,
and it made the camp suffer just
that much because there was a
lack of pitchers for the batting
drills, which commenced shortly
after the arrival Of the regulars.
This season Cronin hopes it
will be different. OF course he
realizes he can't absolutely keep a
sore arm from cropping up, but
he does believe he'll be able to
help matters by cautioning his
''boys" when he feels they can't re-
frain from letting a few go during
the first few days of practice.
He said today:
"The training season Is to.
be very short this year in COM
pSris0n to grinds Of other years.
Therefore every pitcher must
train himself properly because
he'll be needed in more ways
than one when the drills be-
come advanced with batting
practice and probably inter-
club games in sway. Mike
Martin is going to help me
stress this program this spring,
and I'm even going to get Nick
AltrOck and AL Schacht busy,
for after all, they've pitched
before and know how to keep
both yOungSter and veteran
from cutting loose too early"
Crowder A Problem
One of the most serious prob
lens, in this connection, will be
the veteran. General Alvin Crow
der. The North Carolinian is al
most like a rookie in keeping him
self in tow in the spring, and it
will be all Cronin will be able to
do to hold this "youngster" down
after he has pitched the first few
kinks out of his arm.
Anothr will be Earl Whitehill,
who also likes to burn 'em across
the pan after his first day out.

Death of General" SANDING
Recalls Outlaw Career
By James T. Williams, J.

"Whoso sheddeth mans blood
by man shall his blood be
she'd"
The fate forecast in these
words of Holy Writ has finally
overtaken the Nicaraguan out
law, whose atrocious crimes
were committed under the
stolen but high-sounding title
of "Generap SANDING.
CoWardice, cruelty and all
uncleanness we're the polluting
and dominating vices tn t
branded this hayward son OF
a highly respected small land
owner in the coffee region
near Managua, the capital city
of Nicaragua.
Organizes Union
The story goes that in his
early manhood this hayward
son, due to a fight with a
neighbor in which he wounded
his opponent, left the country
and remained for some years
in Mexico, working for Ameri-
can firms around Tampico.
At that time the Mexican
outlaw, Pancho Villa, was run
ming his murderous course in
his own country. And while
the young SANDING never joined
Villas assassins he apparently
tried in later life to duplicate
in northern Nicaragua the
heinous crimes that made Villa
infamous.
Returning from Mexico
shortly before the revolution in
Nicaragua led by Moncada,
afterwards President, SANDING
was employed by an American
mine owner, a Mr.. Buffers OF
California, as a time keeper in
his mine in the mountain
region of northern Nicaragua
and quite close to the Hon
duranian border.
With his background of ex-
perience in Mexico, he promptly
organized the miners into what
he called a union" When the
revolution broke out SANDING
marched his union" to the
south to take part in the up
rising against the government
of President Diaz as a leader
under General Moncada.
From that time he seems to
have had no military rank of
any sort until he suddenly
emerged with the self-assumed
title of General" at the time
of the signing of the Tipatapa
agreement on May 4, 1927, by
Mr.. Henry L. stimson, the
special representative whom
President Coolidge sent to Mica
ragua to investigate for him
the situation in that country.
The Washington times., 1934-02-24

General Moncada gave Gen,
Frank R. Mccoy, who super
vised the elections of 1928,
which brought Moncada from
the field headquarters of a
rebel chief to the presidency,
these revealing facts about
SANDING.
General Moncada said that
SANDING broke his word Of
honour that he would lay down
his arms after the Tipatapa
agreement by the terms Of
which President Diaz and Cen
eral Moncada agreed upon
peace and general disarmament
preparatory to an honest cleo
ton.
Instead of surrendering his
arms to the armed forces of
the United States as he was
pledged to do and as Mon
cada and his other followers
did,. SANDING took his troops
back to the place where his
gang of outlaws came from
on the extreme northern
frontier of Nicaragua, one Of
the most inaccessible parts Of
Central America.
Sordid Story
After that. SANDING con-
tinued to operate along the
mountainous border between
Nicaragua and Honduras, haV-
ing been driven out of the
populous region by the Guardia
Macdonald and the armed
forces Of the United States
into the remote Businesses OF
the border country.
Patient efforts we're then
made through General Mon
cada and through Sandino's
respected and Woodworking
father to induce him to redeem
his promise to his country and
turn in his arms and help in
the pacification of Nicaragua.
But SANDING was reluctant to
go back to being a time keeper.
He preferred to be the chief
outlaw of Nicaragua to re-
lapse into law-abiding and self
supporting citizenship.
The heinous crimes and other
depredations since committed
by SANDING, both against his
own innocent and loyal coun-
trymen and against the Of
ficers and men of the armed
forces of the United States,
is a sordid story all by itself.
1t must be reserved for another
day.
It holds a lesson for all
Americans in the years ahead.
