By adding another pennant to the string that has fluttered from th flag pol at th Polo Grounds, John Joseph McUraw becomes more securely eschnced In his title of "Napoeon of Buseball." , , . , Short, stocky, dapper, rudy faced and gray headed, McUraw looks mora like a successful broker than a professional athlete. He appears aa what ths olothings "ads" classify as "smart." and if ever some twist shears him of sucf-ess and reason he can get a Job posing for an oil painting of a cigarette smoker or tne latest in coiiare. Hm Itdjnarwnmo Caweer His career I remarkable but not surprising. It was a sane and steady march to the heights of his profession. Intercepted now and then by some flight of tempera ment or of temper, but It hus all been In one direction. He Is In the logical place for such a logical man to occupy. McGraw was born In 173 and so Is Just about-turning the 60 mark. He began playing baseball a most American boys do as soon as he could toddle after one. Hisj professional debut was made whenj he discarded snort trousers, oui whether he did one of those two things to eltect the other la a question which hia biographers must debate. The present manager of the chapion Giants has been in the game professionally for 32 years, starting with the Oleon team of the New York State League In 1190 when his reputation as a con sistent hitter and reliable fielder spread from his natlvs heath of Truxton, N. Y. Throughout his playing days he was one of the marvels of the diamond but his gray matter has mad him a fix-, ture. Only one year dlfl McGraw re main: In Oleon signing a sheet for $60 a month. Next he went to Cedar Rapids where , hUt." stipend, was more remunerative and his work' more brilliant. - His -short-stopping wa so remarkable that a big league scout came to look him over, haw him and was cap tivated. The youthful "Mugsy" went to "Baltimore, then the tall-ender in a 11-club circuit. It was in August. 1801 that McGraw broke into fast company, a little more than a year after his entry In the professional ranks.! His first season he warm ed the bench, but in 1892 Ned Hanlon, the Orioles' m-w manager, tried out John Joseph seoond haee and then shift -d hlr.i to third where he gained, a reputation. Third base was his position. '.. McGraw has always been recog nized as the peer of any who pre ceded or followed hin. at the "hot corner," his particular forte being the fielding of bunts. He was a jrear-ln-and-year-out .350 hitter and fast on the paths. His Individual playing was one of the factors in ths success of the old Orioles. With Wllbert Robinson, former ly of th Giants and now manager Of ths Brookiin team, McGraw was sold to the St. Louis Club In 1900 for 318,000. Both players were ill pleased and . when the American League reared its head In 1900 the Giants' present mentor aligned himself with Ban B. Johnson. He went back to Baltimore and organised a team that waa one of the most popular in the history of the game. But in 1902 McGraw and Johnson came to the parting of the ways and in mid-season the Baltimore team was so disorganis ed that "Mugsy" took oft his spik ed shoes and announced that they were on the shelf forever. At that time the late Andrew Freedman was sorrowed by the spectacle of the slow-going Giants, the team he owned. MiGraw was recommended to him and was hir ed, taking the helm, in July and remaining in t-narge since. The game has crown blir-ha-s hait.ylrtuallyAlL of, its growth turd growing pains in McUraw pro fessional time. When he came to New York the old Polo Grounds seated 13,000; now it Is 38,000 and a third tier to the grandstand la to be added next year. McGraw's life is Insured by the club for $100,000 and he owns a fair share ot operating company's stock. lne standing of his club under nia management is shown by this taoie: rr-wwvvi mi ii w1 POCTLKHT & Gran f land Rice The Four Horsemen of Autumn are rounding th oorner the fragrant odor of burning leaves, twilight practicing qu e start, for an early rush another World's Beries. . This will be ths 18th i suc cessive buttle between the two major leagues, the lth renewal, ir you care to sturt back with the Boston-Pittsburgh series of 103. Of tne 18 series played the American leuds 11 to 7, with favoring odds for snother triumph. Prevalent Pitching In the majority of tlfese October parties in past years the preval ence of the pitcher has been the nil-star feature. 'y There are two reasons for this. Thepltcher not bnly extends him self to the limit, but the average bats man is a trifle over-anxious, a little too eager to hit the ball midway between the seams. Last fall both the Giants and Yankees had accumulated a sea son's bnttlng' average round .300. They were both killing curves and fast ones from April to October, But after the serins got under way Giant pitchers suppressed the Yan kees with a batting mark of .207, while Yankee pitchers held the Giants to .269. - y Nehf, Barnes and Douglas rolled the .Yankees back in frightful dlsorjder. aone had butted above .300 and Ruth traveled only a portion of the route. No less than seven Yankees were stopped at .200 or less, which is sheer pauperism in this rich age of base hits. The Giants hit much nearer their normal base, but aa-en they were cut down by 30 batting point from the season's total. The Big Chance Lnft full the Yankees had but two dependable pitchers, while the Giants had three. The Yankees rushed Mays and Hoyt against Douglas, Nehf and Barnes, but after a tie at six games the mors extensive pitching force carried the day. Sine last October the Giunta have lost Phil Douglas and the Yankees have added Joe Bush and Sam Jones. Mays hasn't been effective this season as he was last yea rand will hardly climb again to his great effectiveness of a year ago. But Bush Iihs been mowing down hostile legions ever since April and he will more than make up any deficit on the part of Mays, in cuse the "Sapper" with his underground fuse crops slightly away. The Yankees now have more pitchers than they can use in a seven game series and the Giants haven't enough, unless two or three of their hired men toss aside their winding Bheets and come back to life before the autopsy over.

The two points for the Virginians came Just before the cli.se of the game when a had pass ftom Befttty, Tech center, allowed the visitors to block Park s attempted runt on the five yard line. The hall rjlled over the line where It was recovered by a Randolph-Mscon player for a safety.

JOHNSTOWN CITY. 111. Sept 2J .Ky The Associated Press )i Five men were killed and thre Injured in an explosion In the Ika Oeek mine of the Consoli dated Coal Company this after noon. Approximately 800 men were in the mine when the blast oc curred. First reports stated nine apparently had been killed, but recheck accounted for all but flv. Bhortly thereafter rescue teams the cas m aurod brought the fiv dead from tit ' -oinrte. Last Fall Ruth wasalmost totally dismembered and Bob Shtw- key was lamer than a husband s excuse. " The eminent "Bable", while falling apart, cut down the Yankee attack ut Its most vital point. And Shawkey, badly needed, was in no shape to protect a four- run lead. Quite a change this fall. Ruth is rearing to go. He hopes to fall upon the wavering Giant staff and lose a hatful of balls outside the park. And Shawkey will be only a half-Jump back of Joe Buh in the way of effective fire. With Shawkey and Ruth in good condition last year, there would have been a closer, harder fight, and perhaps another story. These two, with Bush, will make a prodigious difference. , Giant Chances The Giants can 'match the Yankees Everywhere except in the hex.- They have a surer hitting club and a somewhat Stronger field ing outfit. ' -. . ; . " SoVith them It all comes down to a matter of pitching. If Nehf a!nd Barnes work as effectively as they did last October and McQuillan, Ryan and Bcott dash to their aid the series will be extremely close. But even Nehf has been skidding of late and the others have been wavering down the stretch. And no pitching staff can afford any great amount of wavering before the assaulting bats of Ruth, Meuecl and others who can mur der any type of merely average pitching. They can be halted abruptly, bur only by a lot of stuff that is backed up by Intelligent judgment. There is nothing- a smart pitched likes better than a home-run star swinging the back" of his neck Off. Attendance Possibilities Last fall 269,976 fans paid out $900,233 to see the Giants win by five games to three. As there will be only seven games at most on this occasion, the 1921 mark will hardly be approached when it comes to attendance figures and high finance. . But the appearance of such sluggers aa Ruth, the two Meusels, Krlsh, Plpp and Young will insure a lqt of fireworks and Veep the higher altitude of atmosphere well churned. The Yankees have a great chance to achieve their destiny and for the first time in their history to sit on top of the baseball world. With their pitching pre dominance they ought to win. They are facing a smart, stout-hearted machine, but a machine budl yhamlicapped in the most Important sector of the field. This handicap may be partially removed if Nehf and Barnes step back to their fastest pace, for last fall both held the Yankees under the water pump at almost every star. But even two good pitchers, if there is no outside aid, are hardly sufficient to hold their own against four Btars.

"Menke, detailing how the fight game was revived In Aus tralia and Including the sensa tional incidents leading up to and embracing the ' Johnson-"1 Burn, fight for th world's championship.) - - ; .:i.:r i. . SYDNEY. Australia. Sept. 28 No rivals in pugilism ever hated each other more than did Tommy Burns and Jack Johnson. And all through the days of 1908 preceding their meeting her for th world's championship one of Hugh D. Mc intosh's principal Jobs was to pre vent their meeting on the streets. "If they had I guess they'd have settled their differences then and there," he said. "But there came a day when an improniptu fight to a finish waa only narrowly averted. "The fighters couldn't agree on a referee. I finally called a meet ing In my office. Johnson came there with his manager) Burns cam with a friend. The names of a dozen men were suggested, but Johnson would reject those Burns proposed and Burns would turn down Johnson's. "Finally Johnson said to ma: " 'The man who referees, will, of course, be a white man- and I am a negro. And oil that means that If I score ten points I'll still be three behind. That's why I want to get the squarest referee that's possible.' "As Johnson sat down after making the speech, Burns, on the other sld of the big table, sneer ed and said: " 'Yes. that's right. They don't like niggers here." "Johnson's face took' on an ex pression of wild anger. He lean ed across th table and said to Burns: "'Would you repeat that?" " 'I said that they don't like niggers here," snarled Burns. 'And I'm repeating it.' "Johnson Jumped up. stripped off his coat and started to run around the table at Burns. Tommy Jumped up, grabbed the chair he waa ait ting on, intending to tnrow it at Johnson. I grapped the chair from hi itan d ,a nd than he grab bed a huge Inkwell. "I was Just In time to grab that as someone grabbed Johnson. In a seoond the whole room was full of scuffling men; Johnson trying to tear loose from his captors; Burns trying to -do the same. - "After a little while we got things calmed down. Then I aent Burns out of the office, holding Johnson there for a little while to prevent their meeting on the street. Jonnson bad cooled off a little, but as he was leaving he said: -" 'I'll remember about that nlr- ger' stuff when I get Into the ring urn nurns win pay lor It. "The next dav Johnson herii for the first time that Burns was to get $30,000 for his end of the fight. He came racing to my of fice to denounce me because I was giving him only $5,000. " That's what you asked and that's what you'll get.' I said. " I won't fight for that money,' he yelled, " 'Oh, yes. you will,' I told him. You'll fight for that much. You'll get that much and not a cent more.' "Johnson went away growling. But I wasn't worried about it. Al most from the day he had arrived In Sydney he had been giving me some sort of trouble and I was getting used to it. I knew that not only would he fight for $5,000 but he'd have fought for $500 It I had decided to cut hi. end. "For Johnson had murder in his heart towards Burns and felt su premely confident that he could whip the white man and so gain at least the technical champion ship of th world. "I had read the prices for that fight range from $2.60 up to $60 for a .eat. Th. town was full of people who declared that no liv ing person In Australia would pay tiond $1 to see such a fight. But I felt the affair would be a Mil out and even went so far as u add several thousand extra auk In the stadium, bringing th. s paclty nearly to the 20,00 mutt "The fight was put on at 10 X on th morning of December ,1! 1908.

It was th biggest crowd in ring history up to that tlma, "I had gambled heavily on thai fight by guaranteeing Burns $lt, 000, Johnson $5,000 and tying my self up to incidental xpnja which added anothr $80,000 em to the cost. .
