Career of John J. 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.

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.

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.

,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. The marker was
;^e raised yesterday and is of attractive
design and clever workmanship. The
>0" principal address during the unveilon
ing ceremony will be made by J. Rion
!"? McKissick, editor of the Greenville
re Piedmont, and a speaker of talent.
Following the unveiling, the monu*ie
ment will be formally presented to
93 the city, Mayor Mars being scheduled
=y to make the speech of acceptance.
^e Throughout --the exercises there will
be music by a local band. The Conist
federate veterans have been extended
an invitation to attend the program.
iN- The Civic club has had a committee
working on this project for about
a year. The members of the organization
are gratified that at last the
*n work has been completed and that the
be event which was the cause of the
marker's erection is to be properly
recognized. Standing, at the intersection
of Greenville send Main streets,
this granite shaft, bearing the Confederate
seal and a synopsis of the
2nt history of the last meeting of Presimc
dent Davis with the members of hii
ind cabinet, will remain throughout th*?
ich years a reminder to all who see it
Ult? that the principles Tor which the
>n Southern States fought and for which
untold numbers of Southerners died
r?il will ever remain sacred.
The marker stands within a hun"?it
dred yards of the old house which
sheltered the last historic event of
'?f the Confederacy. In the quaint old
ov- house now occupied by J. S. Stark,
cr- President Davis and several members
;fi0, of his official family spent the night
as they were fleeing from Richmond,
all following Lee's surrender. Here Pact
vis argued vainly with his colleagues
for a continuation of the war, bank?de
rupt and bleeding though his dominom
ion was. He was ftnaTly shown the
iow futility of such a course, and leaving

850 DISASTER DEATH
TOLL FOR ONE YEAH
Red Cross Gives $1,871,000'Relief
When 65f000 Families
Are Made Homeless.
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.
