The fight between McGraw. and Johnsom, their cepeated clashes over policies, und ‘the explosive outcome of their feud, have been } described in detail in all the bin- graphies of the ‘Little Napoleon” and in the official history books on the game. One immediately at hand, telling of McGraw’s mount- ing anger at his league president, continues: “In midseason of 1902 the iras- cible McGraw sold out his Balti- more holdings and jumped back to the National Lesgue, Johnson’s answer was to move the Baltimore franchise 10 New York for 1903.” Another historian relates, “It was a situation without parallel.. John- son and the American League seemed trapped by the trickery of McGraw.” It's a good story, says Mrs. John ‘Mann, one ff her Real McGraw,” appearing ‘this week, but it simply.isn’t true.

Being Discussed By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK (®—Roland La Star- za may have a slight edge on -Ez- zard Charles in the maneuvering to get the next crack at Heavy- weight Champion Rocky Marciano. More light may be shed on the matter today or tomorrow when promoter Jim Norris and Al Weill, Marciano’s manager, resume talks about Rocky's future foe. The two conferred for an hour yesterday. while Jimmy de Angelo, ‘La Starza’s pilot, hovered anxious- ly outside the conference room in the International Boxing Club's of- fiees. There was nothing concrete for De Angelo to get optimistic about outside of Norris’ remarks to news- men that he wouid like to stage a middleweight and heavyweight championship fight outdoors New York this September. “If it’s going to be La Starza against Rocky,” said Norris, “the fight should’ be in New York (La Starza is a New Yorker). If it’s Charles, it would not necessarily have to be New York but New York would figure strongly.” Both Weill and Norris said noth- ing definite was decided, Both are agreed: Rocky’s opponent must be Charles or La Starza.
