Edmonton won the Walker Trophy (By Churches are great institutions, any Way you take em. Except for the early influences of the church, John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants; might now bea baker or a candlestick maker, It was like this: Im Truxton, Cortland county, N. Y., wher the little. Napoleon was born and where as a kid he first played baseball, the grounds where the vill- age boys held their games adjoined a church. The sacred edifice was in right field, McGraw was left-handed, and so he naturally biffed the ball in- to right field. About every. so often, and sometimes with greater frequen- cy, the horsehide smashed through a window-pane of the church, Each win- dow-pane set back Johniiy's father the sum of twenty cents. McGraw, Jr. Was an observing youngster, and he took notice that every time he smash- ed a window it was followed by a woodshed interview with popper, af- ter-whieh-Joknny was: accustomed to take his meals standing for some days. Reasoning from cause to effect, John- ny decided that the thing to do under the circumstances was to learn to swat the ball to left fiel instead of to the right garden: Animated by this great idea, he practiced steadily -un- til he was ble to bat the bail in al- most any direction he wished. That marked the real beginning of the ca- Teer of MeGraw, one of the greatest baseball strategists the world has ev- er known. When a man or boy thitks once, and finds that the process Is profitable, he is Ikely to get the habit. That was exactly what happened. to Johnny McGraw. Pleased with his success in elfmisiating the painful in- terviews with his father, he began thinking of other schemes to hoodwink opposing players, At that time John- ny weighed only about 110 pounds, and as his nite often played against grown-up men, he had to make brain: work take the place of mere muscle. On the kid club McGraw was a pitcher, but he also played most of the intleld positions when occasion de- manded, If there had not been a church in right field, McGraw might never have started on his career to greatness. Hugh Jennings Tigers are still on he taboggan and Dettoit fans Haim that the team has joined Tanguay's I Don't Care bri- When John McGraw, now the puis- sant leader of the New York Giants, Was seventeen years Old, his fame as baseball player on the amateur nine of his native village, Truxton, N.

Kraus, land, It reached even as far as Olean town of 10,000 in Southwestern New York state, which then had a profes- sional team in the New York and Pennsylvania League. Olean needed new talent, and a man was sent to Truxton to look over the little Irish lad. The scout. was much impressed with McGraw s work, and offered him a salary of 60 a month and expenses, Little Mac had been accustomed to poverty, and that offer. fulfilled his wildest dreams of avarice, especially as he was assured that he would eat and sleep in a real two-dollar-a-day hotel where all the commercial travel- ers and other wealthy men of affairs stopped. Having induced his would- be employer to consent to an added stiuplation ptoviding-for the payment of laundry bills, thus thriftily provid- ing for th *realization of his ambition to wear clean stand-up linen collars every day, McGraw hiked for Olean. His first appearance in the big city ledto-an-attack- of stage fright,-and the. crowd, all unknowing, hooted the future great man, but in his second game McGraw delivered the goods, and since then has never ceased to do so. Little Mac then weighed in the neigh- borhood of 115 pounds, and lacked the strength to wield the heavy bats used by his fellow players, who re- ferred to his infant bat as a pencil. Mac Accomplished wonders with it, however, and jthat was all the man- agement demanded. McGraw usually Played third base in Olean, and the fans of that town siill love to relate how the little fellow: got everything that came within a dozen feet of him. This was in 1890, and in the follow- ing year McGraw, at a considerable advance In salary, was wearing the uniform of Cedar Rapids, Ia., then in a circuit called the Western Associa- tion, Mac was a great favorite in the Towa city, and he returned the affec- tion Javishly upon him in full measure. aspersions on Cedar Rapids in Mc- Graw s presence would speedily, find himself the center of a large-sized ruction, McGraw's feeling for Cedar Rapids was the cause of Otis Crandall getting a job with the Giants. When Mac heard that the Iowa town had a Bodd twirler in Crandall, he immed- Jately offered him a try-out, Just for old sake's sake. And Otle made g0ou.

Haward, the big colored sprinter who. has proved any- thing but the wonder he was expected to be at Stockholm, should never have been taken along with the team. His antics undoubtedly affected the disci- pline-of the Canadian contingent, and President Merrick would have been Justified in sending him bome. In -tetter from Stockholm prior to the games Mr, Walter Nivett writes: Howard was not content to eat the same food as the rest, nor did he want to train in the same manner as the other boys. The coach (Walter Knox) humored him and put up with his vagaries as long as any man could, but the climax was reached on Wednes- day afternoon, when. trying out the men for the 1,600 metre relay race. The),coon declared he. would quit at 300, Yards, as he thought he was to Zod a man to be bothered running When Knox heard this he told Mr. Howar that he would not allow him to.run at all. Previous to this he had- refused to have his Photo taken with the other sprinters. He persisted, however, in getting in line for the try out, and when Knox tried to chase him off the track.he pnt up his dukes. Whew they say there came very nearly being another nig- ger in the cold cold ground. Knox missed him, and the coon backed down He had a good cry, and again put up such a pitiful plea to be taken back that the coach relented, and Mr. John Armstrong Howard is still a member of the team.
