McGraw New York, Sept. 29.?The career of John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giant, and one of the best known men in professional baseball, stands out as one of the most interesting in the annals of the national sport. McGraw was born at Truxton, N. Y., on April 7, 1873. McGraw played his first professional game shortly after he discarded short trousers. He made such a reputation around his home town as a hard-hitter and skillful fielder that he was recommended to the Olean team, then in the New York state team and in the spring of^890 signed his first baseball contract. McGraw says he never will forget the first game he played with Olean. Although only about 200 fans attended he felt more nervous than at anj time in his life. In describing his first game the popular lender of the Giant* said: "That first game was one of the greatest events in my life and I will remember it always. I was confident of making good until I went on the field. Then I was bewildered; it seem ed that there were enough persons ir the stand to populate the state of New York. I hope that the batter would not hit the ball to me. "When a grounder did come my way I felt as though I was rooted to the ttfrf. I couldn't move. Finally it seem ed like an age to me?I got started and picked the ball up in my bare hand but threw it over the first base man's head, in my haste to beat the runner." The error lost the eame for Mc Graw's team ]t>ut it did not discourage him. McGraw got $60 a month for playing with Olean. After one year with Olean he went to the Cedar Rapids club, where the remuneration was slightly better. While with the Iowa team there was r remarkable change for the better in his playing. He performed at short stop and his playing there attracted the attention of a big league scout and in August, 1891, he was signed by the Baltimore club, of the National League, then last in a 12 club circuit Bill Bamer was manager of the Orioles when McGraw broke into the "fast set." John finished the season of 1891 as a bench warmer. In May, 1892, Ned Hanlon succeeded Barney and took a fancy to McGraw in spite of his small stature. First he tried him on second base where he showed much speed and skill He was transferred to third where he played even more brilliantly and there ho stuck. From that time until he withdrew from active service he was one of the best third basemen in the game, at one time being considered the top-notcher of them all. His ability to field buntf was uncanny, and no third baseman in the game ever has equalled him ir that department. He always was a capable batter but under Hanlon's direction he became one of the greatest in baseball. For years his average never fell below the .350 mark and he was very fast on the bases. His allround good work was a big factor in Baltimore's string of pennants. While a member of the Orioles hrwas surrounded by a coterie of star? who helped to set off his brilliancy. Hughie Jennings, who now is associated with him in the direction of the Giants and Wilbert Robinson, manager of the Brooklyns, were among them. MpfJrnw an si PAhinaAM tuora oaPI 1900 to the St. Louis club for a price reported to be $18,000. The sale displeased both men. When the American League invaded the East in 1900, McGraw was one of the ablest lieutenants of Ban Johnson, the league president. While they were still in St. Louis, McGraw and Robinson were plotting to place an American team in Baltimore. Finally McGraw obtained backing and assembled a good ball team. He was appointed manager of the club which was a most popular move in Baltimore and in 1901 there was no stauncher American leager than John McGraw nof the premier leader of the National League. In 1902 there was an open split between McGraw and Johnson. Not only were the Orioles weakened by suspensions but many players were retired with injuries. McGraw was spiked three times in 1902, the last causing an ugly wound in his knee, ^hich practically ended his days as an active participant in the game. In mid season the affairs of the Baltimore team became so demoralized that MrOrew quit and announced that he was through with the game forever. About this time the Giants were going poorly. It was durhng the Freedman regime. The team played bad ball and the fans were not attending the games. McGraw's name was suggested to Freedman and he placed him in command of the team on July 10. He has led the Giants since. When McGraw came to New York t^e Polo Grounds seated 12,000 persons. Now it seats 38.000 and fre quently on big days the club is comt pelled to close the gates. The New York club considers John McGraw such a valuuable asset that they have had his life insured for $100,000. Hays requests criticism of the postoffice department.

Forty Year Old Dispute Lima, Sept. 3.?The 40-year < dispute between Chile and Peru 1 been aired again in the newspapi here following reports received fr< Chile to the effect that that count desires to liquidate the Tacna a Arica question by "direct sett ment" with her northern neighb Peru, however, favors arbitration, the opinion of the Lima press. El Comercio in a lengthy editor on the issue asserts that Peru has ways sustained the policy of arbiti tion and that the "several attem] that have been made to reach a din settlement have resulted in absoli linscos." The paper thinks that din settlements between peoples of "11 equal military strength signify t triumph of the interest of t stronger while arbitration never c be entirely favorable to one of t parties." El Tiempo, generally regarded the semi-official organ, also expre: es displeasure over reports of "pi posals to reach a solution of the c. trovcrsy by means of direct negoti tions." It favors arbitration. T1 paper charges that Chile now wish to hold the much discussed plebisc; after the "detained provinces ha been through a proces of 'Chilean to tion' during the past ten years." The treaty of Ancon, concluded I tween Chile and Peru in 1884, pi vided for a plebiscite ten years lat to determine the definite ownersh of the provinces of Tacna and Ari but this has never been held owii to rench an agrement over the bai on which the vote should be taken. Bolivia endeavored to submit t Tncna-Arica dispute' to the League Nations Assembly in its present s< sion but Chile demurred and the A sembly hesitated to undertake the s lution of the question because might involve the Monroe Doctrii It was then proposed to refer to commission of the League the qu< tion whether the Assembly was coi potent to decide the issue.

Stock Privilegs I tag , Chicago, Oct. 1.?Board of trade members watched the course of grain prices with unusual interest today because of the elimination of trading in | ^ "indemnities,'K also known as "privie~ leges," "bids and offers" and "puts ?.^ and calls." Last spring while the CapperTincher law regulating grain exial changes, which goes into effect late in December imposing a prohibitive ' ra" tax on this method of trading, was 1 3ts; being framed the officers and direc- . ?ct tors of the Chicago board of trade , lto recommended the indemnity trading ; ict be discontinued. The members of the i ln" board of trade a few weeks ago voted < to eliminate indemnities October 1. "Indemnities" in substance are con- 1 an tracts which give to the buyer the ' ^ privilege of demanding a specified quantity of grain at a named price | as within a certain time, or give him 5S" the privilege of delivering a specified i ?* quantity at a named price within a 1 'n" certain time. Hence the name "priv- 1 'a~ ileges." 1,8 The utility of indemnity trading, | [es marketing experta of the board of j lte trade say, lay in the insurance it pro- i vt" vided for speculators against violenc I :a" price swings in a stated period. "Speculators,^ saifr a leading grain 1 >e* man, "provide a market in which 1 country elevator owners or farmers may protect themselves from loss by 'hedging.' Speculators are constantcn ly on the alert to buy or sell as ordi- i nary conditions of supply and de538 mand indicate, but they in turn need a chance to 'hedge' against the unexpected, such as a sudden change in world political or~WMm>mir-conditions of that would change price values." ;8" There a*e firms and individuals lS" which made a specialty of selling indemnities. The late Russell Sage was , reputed to have made many of his ie millions by the sale of "stock privia leges," and analogues process, on the ls~ New York Stock Exchange. xears ago t rading in puts ana calls was eliminated at Chicago, but the trade was promptly transferred to the u' Milwaukee and Minneapolis markets, and as a consequence trading was later resumed here. Many traders held the opinion that the move would make speculators more conservative and thus reduce the ee volume of speculation. A reduction 'nt in volume, it wa&*further theorized, !*r wold make for kider fluctuations in in price, a sitation not desired by farm,a era, who, for many years have sought a to stabilize prices. ich L "-I m . 2 Stone Will Mark an Historic Spot ng ? ,lt* Abbeville, _.Sept. 30.?-Appropriate n8 and impressive exercises will be held ier in Abbeville Tuesday, October 5, upon is( the occasion of the unyejling of the marker erected l>y the Civic club to commemorate the last meeting of the in' Confederate cabinet.

Forty-three disasters, resulting In the death In the United (Mates of 85W lersons and the Injury of 2,500 called for emergency relief measures and the expenditure of $1,871,000 by the \tuerlcan Ited Cross during the fiscal year ending June 80, 1021, says an Announcement based upon the forthcoming annual report of the Itod Cross. These disasters caused property dumige estimated ut $80,000,000, ufFeeted doty-seven communities and rendered 15.000 families homeless. The year's disasters were of vary ,ng types, Including several which previously had never been thought of as falling within that chisslflc*tlon. The Ited Cross furnished relief In seventeen flres of magnitude, five floods, seven tornadoes or cyclones, one devastating storm, three explosions, Including the one In Wall street; one building accident, tjvj typhoid epidemics, the most serious being that at Salem, Ohio, which affected I) per cent of the population; [>ne smallpox epidemic, In the republic i>f Haiti; one train wreck, the race riot nt Tulsa, Okla.; the famine In China, luuergency relief In famine among the iiullnns of Alaska, the grasshopper plague in North Dnkota and an earthquake In Italy. Pueblo Most 8#rious ? By fur the most severe of the dls- ^ usters In the United States during the m period covered by the Red Cross re- iI port was the Pueblo flood early In II June, 1021. The rehabilitation prob- I lem confronting the Red Cross In jE Pueblo was one of the most 'difficult ip in recent years. When the first news ||j of the horror was flashed throughout !L the country, the American Red Cross 'lj National Headquarters responded with I n grant of $105,000 for relief work. L Governor Shoup of Colorado, appre- I elating the long and successful experl- |j ence of the Red Cross In organizing I disaster relief work, placed the en- tj tire responsibility for the admlnlstra- I tlon of relief In Its hands. . E In response to appeals from Preal- Q dent Harding, Governor Shoup and [H other governors of western states and tj through local chapters of the Red ICross and other community organlza- L tlons, public-spirited citizens brought ? the total contributed for Pueblo's re- G habituation to more than $825,000. [I The terrible havoc wrought by the j I flood waters Is a matter of record, H More than 2,300 homes were affected p and 7,851 persons were left homeless. Gstlmatea of $500,000 as an absolute minimum for rehabilitation were mnde by Red Cross officials In charge of th? relief work. Past Work in Wall 8treet The Wall street explosion was notable In that relief workers of the Red Cross were on the scene twenty minutes after the disaster occurred. The race riot at Tulsa also was unique In disaster relief annals in that outside g of a small emergency relief fund con- . trlbuted by the Red Cross, the only relief measures outside tbe city consisted of the service of social workers, nurses and a trained executive \ whose object was to assist local forces In directing their own effort*. In decided contrast with the previous year, only one tornado assumed the proportions of a major disaster. This occurred on April 15, In the border sections of.?Texas and Arkansas with the dty of Texarkana as the center. The significant feature of this dlsnster relief work was the fa6t that It covered so much rural territory as to make necessary a large number of relief workers. The famine in China, necessitating relief expenditures totalling more than $1,000,000 by the American Red Cross was by far the most serious of the foreign disasters In which the Red Cross gave aid. Builds Up Its Machinery In connection with the administration of disaster relief measures, an In- V creasing effectiveness on the part of the Red Cross to deal with emergen- . cies was manifested during the pust year. In 828 Chapters of the American Red Cross there have been formed special committees to survey the resources of their respective communities and to be prepared In case of disaster. In others of the 3,402 active Chapters, a network of communication nn? neen rormeu tnrougn wnien insmntaneous relief mav be dispatched to any part of the United States. Thut Its work In this field may be continued with ever greater effectiveness, the American Red Cross Is appealing for widespread renewal of membership during Its Annual Roll Call, to be conducted this year from November 11 to 24.
