WINNER OF FIRST ROUND TITLE IN
 DUSTY FEATURE
Milkmen to Provide Keen Opposition for Speedy
 Factory Combine,

A game that Industrial League basketball followers have been awaiting with keen anticipation is scheduled for this evening at the central YMCA court when the Chase courtiers. winners of the first round championship of the league exchange hoops with the Worden combination from the Cherry street sector, who, in their first year of competition in the circuit have won many admirers by the consistency of their play.
 Talent
 With Joe Swasey, Eddie Stevens, sonny" Connell and Patrick Jo- Milkmen have hoop troupe wor- steady play of the Chasers have been well worth watching all sea- son. In addition to Captain Donald, Jimmy Crichton, Johnny Driscoii, Ralph Santopietro, Jack Grady, Bill Donahue and Glenn Ba- landa to help hold the Chase ban- ner aloft and with such collec- tion of talent on opposing squads to-night's game should be hum- mer from the first whistle.
 Action
 At 7:30 p. m. those old rivals of bygone years, the Clock and Brass combines are due for another con- test in which their rivalry should be attested to in the form of a closely contested game which the Checkers are favored to win, though the Brass boys are well able to force them to the limit to accom- plish such a feat. Neither team has been doing particularly we'll in league competition this season.
 George Dillon will officiate both games this evening which will be followed by dancing.

 BY HENRY McLEMORE
 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Feb 27.-(UP)-The brief words of Carl Hubbell, couched in baseball language, it seems to me, omposed the finest eulogy of John J. McGraw.
 The gangling Texan, who, but for McGraw, still might be following Q mule team down hot, dusty Texas furrow, instead of standing as base balls greatest pitcher, made no concession to sentimentality. The McGraw Hubbell knew was the hard-boiled taskmaster of the dug out; the acid-tongued disciplin- arian; and the intolerant genius who would grant grudging ap- proval only at perfection. And it was this McGraw of whom he spoke.
 q wanted to quit a thousand times, but the old man kept after me. ' He rode me hard, rode me until he pounded me into some of his own fighting spirit. Every time I step on the mount some of his thoughts, some of his tips, come drifting through my mind. Not a game goes by but some situ- ation comes up that sends some thing like this through my head: What did the old man teach, you to do in this sort of jam? What did he tell you not to do? I'd bet ter not do that. The old man has warned me against it thousand times.'
 "In the world series last year it was the old man, as much as me, who licked the Senatorsr twice. All through those games was pitch ing what he had told me to-"
 What's true of Hubbell is true of scores of other players through out the major leagues. McGraw men are scattered all over the earth. And their knowledge gained at the masters feet will be passed on from generation to gen. eration, handed down by the end- less chain that is veteran-rookie- 1eteran-rookie. So long as brilliant strategy, breathless daring, and flaming will to win that recognizes no handicap as in surmountable, are part of baseball, so long will McGraw be a part of the game.
 It doesn't seem far-fetched to say that there are pitchers not yet born who will win world sereis without knowing it was McGraw, long dead, who won for them. And that on many distant afternoon baserunners, now children, will gain the roar of the crowd for the execution of play plotted by the old man in the twilight at Coogan's Bluff, long, long ago.

Good Evening
 With the passing of the blizzard, the conversation now turns to the resuming of the battles along the Power league front. And they should be bitterly fought especially the ones between Colucci and Mor- iarty and Mills and Lautenschlager The outcome of these matches means a lot to Mills and Moriarty for they are in a tie for first place. George Sullivan's Hollywood five has put on a great squirt the last couple of weeks and if they con- tinue their drive, we look for them to finish up there in the top rack. We have heard of various kings :, but during the snow storm, it was uncovered that in addition to being proficient at golf and bowling Jim Kiely also has an uncanny ability for putting away pork chops so he has been given the title of Pork Chop King by his mates nj the ] meter department. Iris remark able the athletic ability this young fellow has. Wouldn't be surprised | to hear any day that he has won his spurs as ballet dancer.
 Two boys whom we may refer to as ultra a-cOnservative are Frank Cichetti and Charlie McWilHams. They limit their talkativenesS to a few words but one, look at their averages is an indication of their worth to their teams.
 It will not be long now before the plans will be laid for the grand finale which winds up all power league seasons. Bigger and better than ever is the slogan.
 The blizzard did not put the damper on the talk about who will take the championship. In fact, down at the service building that seemed to be the current topic when many of the boys gathered around at the noon hour to eat their lunches.
 Anything New, Ben?
 We are anxious to bump into Ben Mellor as he has been so- journing the last couple of days at a convention in Boston. We hope to get the low-down on the latest in the Beantown but if Ben pulls that old one about Bunker hill still being there, well we'll just fade out, das all.
 It is reported that during the storm Joe Blum took a walk down to Naugatuck to sec if the roads were cleared and on the way down he met H. Buckingham Bergen on the way to Waterbury for the same reason. When each found out the others reason for being out, they turned and retraced their steps, with that old parting, "Nertz".
 Will some one answer this ques- tion for Bill Leroy. How many shovelfuls in a snowdrift?

We still find a merry old fight going on for individual average honors. At the present writing Bus Wallace and Nick Calabrese are in a tie at the top with a total Of no. This should be a keen exhi- bition for the boys have only six more games to decide the issue. However, they have to contend with Bob Nelson, the Swedish prima donna who is only a point cbhind and the pace the Pride of Sweden is setting hay push him ahead.
 We hope to see Bill Jones back on the firing line tomorrow night. This popular young fellow has been on the sick list the last couple of weeks but he reports that he is in good condition again and with the breaks should be around to do his share.
 Which Means Success An outstanding feature in the league all season was the excellent attendance. Week after week found the batting average close to the perfect mark. Never were there over three on the absentee list and in most instances unayOid- able circumstances were the cause. This fine showing on the part of the members has been an inspira- tiOn to the organization committee and although there Is great deal of detail in connection with con- ducting the league, it has made the work a pleasure when it was claerly demonstrated that the com- mittee's efforts were appreciated by the deep interest shown by all.
 New Championships
 Since Mother Nature blanketed the earth with plenty ot snow, many of our boys have become very proficient in the art of skiing and the use of snow shoes. Joe Galipeau says this weather reminds him of when he was a boy in Three Rivers and he is glad of the oppor- tuHity to show the rest of the fel- lows how to cover distance with the foot sleds. He is willing to race Jack Moriarty. John Joy, Gus Breny, Joe Pilkington or any others over q ten mile course.
 Jack Robinson was seen tramp ing in from the wiIds of Middle bury the other day. We were told that the sight of Jack going through the snow drifts reminded this party of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. What, no hat?
 There is no doubt but what the

snow on Genlot's roof will melt when the gang puts on full steam tomorrow night. With so much at stake and every point needed, be- lieve you and me good show is in the making.
 We have been tipped off that we have a good entertainer in our ranks by the name of Harry Owens. Our scout has let it be known that what this boy can't do with mouth organ isn't in the book. We'll make a record of that.
 Walter Nelson will always con- slider February 14th, 1884 as an epoch making date for it was on that night he made three straight strikes and nearly had fourth but for a solitary pin. Walter says that this doesn't happen over once in q lifetime and will never be forgotten by him. We guess none of us would,
 Ray Beardslcy is all set to re- deem himself this week. To which Ed Bly only smiles.
 Bob Lagerquist regrets that the season has only two more weeks to go. Reason-he has been clouting the pins plenty of late.

 We'll, we'll sign off at this time hoping to see the gang on the al- leys tomorrow night.

(NEA service sports E0ltOr)
 New York, Feb 27-It was a hot midsummer day in 1889. An ac- commodation-trai was pulling out of Truxton, N. Y. On the back plat form stood 8 black-haired boy, waving.
 As the town receded from view, the boy turned, picked up a basket and started through the aisle, call- ing, Chewing gum, candy, maga- zines!"
 The boy was John Joseph Me- Graw.
 That was 45 years ago, and Me- Graw was 16 years old. Since then the slender boy fought his way to the very top of baseball and be- came a legend of the game as a player for the old Orioles and as manager of the New York Giants for 30 years.
 An argument started in the smoking car. Some smart aleck of a drummer was trying to tell. the folks that a man could throw a curve with a baseball. McGraw put his basket on 8 seat and listened. Finally he spoke up:
 T can throw a curve ball my self!'
 They looked at him dubiously. One of the passengers possessed a sporting instinct.
 "I'll bet $10 he can't" he chal- lenged the crowd.
 The bet was made, McGraw talk ing dollar of it himself. The con- ductor took a part. So did the drummer.
 At the next town the conductor gers assembled on a vacant lot. apart. McGraw had to prove his curve by making the ball go to the right of the middle stake and to the left of the third stake where a catcher was to stand.
 The ball broke around the middle stake and sailed to the, left of the last stake. The demonstration was conclusive. A man could make a baseball curve.
 McGraw was younger and small CT than the other boys, weighing only 105 pounds. But he made up for it with fight. After he had pitched and won few games around his home town, which was Truxton, he was offered a job on the Clean team of the Iron and Oil League. Besides his Mboard he was to get $60 a month.
 Because of his hitting and run making ability, McGraw Che was then only I'D was placed at third base. He was not so successful as a fielder at first because of a ten- dency to throw wildly. But he studied and practiced.
 Ambitious, he obtained his re- lease at Clean and moved on to Wellsville in. the Western New York League. The following sea- son saw him tackling a job at Cedar Rapids, Ia.. in the Three-E Eye League.
 He met Henry Fabian at Cedar Rapids, and Fabian remained his friend through the years, McGraw's old teammate now being ground keeper at the Polo grounds. Says Fabian of those early days:
 'McGraw was the cockiest kid that ever broke into ball game. He was convinced he was big leaguer right from the staSt. You just couldn't stop him."
 Forty-three years ago a scout for the Baltimore Orioles was going through the bushes for talent. He saw McGraw and produced pen and contract at once.
 On Aug. 22, 1892, little John Me- Graw, then IS, made his first ap- pearance in the uniform of the Orioles, at Columbus, O. It was a team destined to enact an everlast- ingly glorious part in the drama of baseball history.
 NEXT: McGraW as a major leaguer.
