“Little Nap” Has Made Auspi

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.

FREMONT, Neb., March 7.— '
Francis, 7 (left), and Gene, 9.
sons of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Won
lager of Fremont, weighing respec
tively, 40 pounds, are world cham
pions in the “gpeckweight’' division,,
according to their tutor, John Casey
of Fremont, formerly known in the
ring as Johnnie Rose, feather and
light-weight champion of the l’nited
States marines *p 1917-18-19. Eleven
months ago the young pugilists were
puny, underweight youngsters. Their
parents decider! to let Casey take
_ ~ |
charge of their development. Since
that time they have learned to shad
ow box. skip the rope, yank the
pulleys and go through the regular
paces of a full-fledged fighter like
veteran “pugs.'' They have staged
exhibitions on Fremont rards and on
each occasion make a bigger hit with
the fans, Casey describes Francis as
clever with his mitts and uses both
his head and feet when in the ring.
Gene socks a little harder and Is near
ly as handy as his brother with his
paws, however.

Event.
IA JUANA Race T k,
Mex, March 7.—Wall
the arrival last week of
Chllhowee, one of Am*r
lea’s foremost horses,
and Phusla, famous In
ported horse, who w-.«
a champion in Fran
already on the ground,
and his ability establish
ed in recent race, ?->].
lowers of the turf flauir
the opinion that the—
two will be among th»
choices to win the ar
nua! renewal of the Coffroth he? d
cap.
The Coffroth handicap has $7
adiled money and is a gallop of 1 M
miles. Entries and starting fees w *
make its gross about $65.00(1 "o
winning horse. The date for its 1
cision is Sunday, March 2k ~ ?
Coffroth continues to be rec-g- ••*•
as a classic of winter racing and is a’
the richest stake in America f
horses of all ages. Incidentally,
is mentioned that President Janie- v
Coffroth of the Tia Juana Jocks -
club, will award a home In Callforr
to the jockey riding the winner >?
this stake and that the vlctori .»
thoroughbred’s remembrance will
a solid silver water bucket.
At this time there are many sign
pointing to the probability of Phi. - -
and Chllhowee being intense rivals
the Coffroth handicap. First of •
is the undeniable assertion that t -
will be among the top weight et -
ers. Just what imposts they will
carry Is a trifle problematical at '- -
time, but some handicappers look f
these two cracks to shoulder *
12S pounds each.
Chllhowee. a 4-year-old son of p
lot, has just closed a brilliant s
son at New Orleans. He was a tr.F
slow rounding to form in the Cre-ter
City, but when he found himself
demonstrated several times that he -
a horse capable of shouldering he
imposts and carrying his extr-' »
speed over a distance of grot
Chllhowee was the winner of the re
cent Mardigras handicap. In ih «
event, he picked up 126 pounds r
set a nsw record for New Orle’-«
when he ran the mile and three •Fx
teenth In 1 57 4-5. Back of fc
were Petting Sun. Prtnc# Jam-*
Leopardess. Bradley s Tony. Na*«- *
and Start-ark, well known hard <->
and stake horse, of more than eve
age ability.
In his career abroad, Phusla w*»
the winner of 11 races and 157.3*5
franc* in France. He wae also vie.
torieus on more than one oceas.m
in England. He wa« eo highly re
garded as a 2 yeer-old that an offer
of $100,000 did not tempt A. K
Macomber, brother of the Mlrtunonte
stock farm owner, to sell him. One
of Phusla * most notable achieve
ments in French racing w a* the re
test in which he met the ro.tr
Epinerd. It will he recalled to.:
Epinard waa the French champ. ’
who came over here laet geas-'n ’
carry the Fleur-de-lie In the interna
tional events. In the race abroad ’
which reference has just been made
Epinard was victorious, but It re
Hirred every ounce of his speed a
stamina and this given in a drivtr*.
finish, to heat Phusla by the narr.-w
margin of only a neck.
