MCGRAW REAL MANAGER His Genius Takes New York Giants On To Victory. New York. Aug. 28.— (United Press.) —After the genius of leadership he has shown In the last three seasons, it might be true, even if it sounds a little unfair to his boys, to say that John McGraw can yin a pennant with any kind of a gixul ball club. Tin* New York Giants of 1922 were, in comparison to the other clubs in the National League, a fine ball club, but it Is almost certain that they would not have’won the pennant behind any manager other than McGraw. No other manager, with such a dilapidated pitching staff, could have urged the Giants to the heights which they attained in the critical parts of the 1923 pennant race. Outside of the pitching department, which some tacticians consider the most important, the Giants have a great team. McGraw has said he figures it to be the smartest and the best ball club he has ever handled. In building up what no doubt will turn out to be at east a three-time pennant winner, McGraw was able to find everything but good, young pitchers. and since the New’ York club has more money to spend than any other National league club, it seems but fate that has reduced the team to such poverty In pitching. ..From the results of thp 1921 and 1922 pennant races, it might be argued that a great team can win without great pitchers, but the results are achieved only by genius in direction. McGraw has that genius and the figures show that it is possessed by no other manager.
