Donovan’s team is the first Yankee club to finish in the first division since 1910, when Stallings and Chase pi- loted the old Hilltoppers into second place. The club fell to sixth under Wolverton in 19 and since has been gradually ascending one peg at a time. In 1913 the team finished seventh under Chance, and in 1914 was tied with Chicago for sixth place. Donovan took hold of the club 1 | vear and finished fifth, and this year Bill climbed peg higher.

HGRAW'S ABSENCE - CAUSE OF COMMENT Many Think Matter Unimportant;'\ Herzog at the Helm New York, Oct. 5.—The action of John McGraw, manager of the New | York Giants, in leaving the playing | field at Brooklyn while his team was ) being defeated by the new National league champions on Tuesday brought forth many statements from high of- als in baseball and others inter- in the case. The general trend of opinion seems to be that McGraw’s laction, while regrettable, was done ifi a fit of uncontroled temper, and was really less magnitude than many would believe. McGraw was not with Giants vesterday at Brooklyn, Charliey Her- zog, second baseman, doing all the visible managing. Statements of in- terest made on the case follow . President Ban Johnson of the Amer- lican league characterized McGraw's remarks “outrageous” and said that if this situation had arisen in the American league he would have dealt with it in anything but a lenient manner. When asked if the Nationak | commission would take up the matteny Johnson said that it was up to thé | National 1 to handle it. “If they are not to handle it, they should business,” he said. Garry Herrmann, a member of the, commission, was reticent regarding the affa “This is the first I -had, heard of the incident,” he said. “L had thought it was a joke. Now I be- lieve it was a fool act.” W. D. Perrit, the New York whose action in “winding |while a man was on first | McGraw, said: “If thére is any im- plication that I helped to lose the | game you can give it the lie for me. | That game cost me $100. I had bet {that T would win 20 games. I wa# tout to win.” John D. Foster, secretary of tha | New York club, expressed the opinion that McGraw would finish out the s son. Mr. Foster declared it was im- possible for the New York club to have deliberately lost the game with Brooklyn, but said that McGraw was thoroughly aroused by the indiffers jence of his men WORKOUT ON BRAVES' FIELD Red Sox Pitchers and Regulars Play ested ague big enough go out of pitch- up" incensed er, Ten Inning Practice Game For Big Ser 5.—W.
