NAGER M’GRAW’S “wild Irish temper,” as President Tener of the National League calls it, may have raised unpleasant ructions to mar the close of the Giants’ season, but we cannot see why it necessarily reflects on the honesty of baseball, * “McGraw never said his players gave away the game. He only rated them for being listless and failing to follow his signals. This, so far from suggesting to the public that professional buscball is not on-the level, tends rather to spread the idea that managers and players keep a grim eye on one another and are quick to lose patience with anybody who disobeys orders or puts up a slack game, If professional baseball games were ever “fixed,” it would at least be a relief to know that the manager is not only not in on it, but liable to turn with fury upon his team if he suspects it of even taking things easy.
