By AhwIiM Pr»M. IW YORK, March 7.—Napoleon had hta Waterloo; John J. McGraw hla Philadelphia, his New York and his Washington. Lika the con quests of the greet French general, those of the gray halred, stocky son of Truxton, N. Y., have heen accom plished in a steady thorough going manner in the He has climbed he heights and remained there with a persistency that defied the attacks of National league enemies for four : ears. In 1S15 with his remarkable lieu tenant, Christy Mathewson, standing on the firing line, the man who has Keen dubbed “Little Napoleon," was upreme. He captured a world cham pionship. But his forces were fagged out nnd struggled for six years without wagering a world series hattie. Then came the rout of Philadelphia, when Connie Mack's great inner defense nnd Ills marvelous siege guns, Ben der, Plank and Coombs, riddled the ranks of the Giants and bore them hack down the hill. McGraw bore to the front in 1912 and 1913, to be hurled back by the White Sox and Ked Sox. Again the faltering lines were drawn together and 1921 found them at bay in their own territory. I.ed by the giant Phil Douglas, the slim Jess Barnes and the midget Artie N'ehf, the world pennant be came his in eight hard fought games. Again in 1922 they were vic torious, but fell before their natural enemies, the Yankees, In 1923. I.vst year the march on Washington was stayed by the brilliant young gen eral, Stanley (Bucky) Ha .is, and the grand old campaigner, Walter Johnson. Washington may have heen the Waterloo of McGraw. For several years he has directed hie eoldlers from a position behind the lines, where once he rode with them. Two more years may-see his retirement, or he has become old In the service ind his seat In government Is await — lg him. He now Is vice president of ils club. McGraw was horn In 1873 and start <1 to play baseball about the time hat he learned to toddle. For 35 years he has been in the professional game, his first engagement being with t dean, N. Y., whence he progressed to ' edar Rapids. A major league scout then took the youthful "Muggsy" to 'Baltimore. In August, 1891, McGraw saw his (list fast company service and •or a year he sat on the bench, but In '392 he went to second base, where. >d Hanlon quickly learned that his | protege was a good third baseman, j vho soon became the best fielder of j Hints the national game had seen. In 1900, with Wilbert Robinson, anottier who was to become a famous manager, McGraw was sold to St. I»uls, but aligned himself with ll.vron Bancroft Johnson when the American league was bom in 1901. It was then that McGraw organized the Baltimore Orioles that have been made famous dnw n through the years. Two yeal-s later.the team was die organized and the leading third base man of haaeball laid aside his spiked shoes and the late Andrew Freeman • ailed him to the helm that he has handled sxpertly for nearly a quarter of a century.
