GA re re NTS MANAGER ADMITS STARTED ‘WILD’ SPENDING Explains Why He Paid $100,000 for McQuillan Last Season— > ..Big Price Often Saves the : Made, He Asserts. ur New York Giants. Set $11,000, WRTME Was the advent of thie Fe spending by, the magnates," sald the ‘Giants’ manager. “It has continued {up to the present time, with clubs that are better able to spend the money - doing the bulk of it, that is, the Chi- daze White Sox, the Giants and the Aankees. J OMost of the: spirited bidding has heen between the two New York clubs. ‘That was because they were the Wealthlest and could better afford It. There has been intense rivalry be- ineeh the Giants and the Yankees during the past few years. Both New York clubs put in bids for Jimmy O'Connell of the San Francisco Club of the Pacific Coast League, and we finally landed him for the record breaking sum, up to that time, of $75,000. ‘sMmce then that figure has been Teaten by Charles Comiskey, who Purchased Willio Kamm, another Pa- cle Coast player, for $100,000, But we have seen the worst of this high financing for minor league players. WAR RESPONSIBLE FOR DEARTH “OF REAL STARS. “The war was responsible for the dearth of real stars, That was one of the ddutributing factors for all this spenging. Then the White Sox scandal of 1919 played an important partJh it, Comiskey always had a great club and when that case shook thef pillars of the national game the 401 Roman,’ with hts pride for a good a ‘as forced to dig down deep into Mf Wookets to purchase minor league ded. * “This talk about buying the cream of the minors and pennants by the two New York clubs ts greatly exagger- ated,” continued the Giants’ manager. “Sometimes the fans do not under- stand the facts in the case. For in- s\ange, we pay $100,000 for a player In the National League, as we did for Mugh MeQuitian last season, Well, Now York 1s the largest baseball town in the country.

Many times we have saved the club we bought a player from more than they saved us, “When T paid $100,000 tor McQuil- lan lust summer the fans tet out a terrible squawk. Do you know up until that time no one In either league thought that McQuillan was a great pitcher? No one wanted ‘im, and did not think he was worth $10,000. After I bought him the country began to think that McQuillan was a great pitcher. They also accused me of buying pennants. HAD TO BUY M’QUILLAN TO RE- PLACE DOUGLAS. “T was forced to buy McQuillan at- ter Douglas wrote himself out of the game. I would never have bougit another pitcher if I had not lost Douglas.” The Giants’ manager -vas asked about tho draft question and ff it did not force the owners to pay, these high prices. “No,"" answered McGraw. “Even if the draft was in vogue with these A. A. minor leagues we would have been forced to pay just as much for them. The owners in the minors would have sold these players before they approached the draft date. Then the draft does not affect us much. 1 wanted only one minor league player by the draft this season, put in a bid for him and got him. No other majeur league club bid for him, “But the end is In sight of all this high financing, for the majors will have plenty of star material and will refuse to pay the minors the enor- mous sums they demand. “There will not be any war between the minors and the majors on the draft question, as some think. They are the foolish ones for aot working with us. They will soon find it out, for without the majots the minors would be lost. t A phreys THE ABILITY TO “TAKE IT.
