MG CRAW GETS WHATHEWANTS By George Kirksey, I I* Staff Correspondent New York, .lune 16. Where other managers are afraid to trade, John McGraw will rush lit with players to give away to get what he wants. McGraw oered Zeke Hurtles to the Reds this week for Adolfo Lltque and was turned down. Then he offered Barnes to the Pirates for any pitcher except 1,-e Meadows, and again was given the < old shoulder. To get another capable pitcher, McGraw yesterday trailed Barnes and three promising young players to the Boston Braves sot Joe Genewich, a right-handed pitcher who may be just the party the Giants need to make them the leading threat for the National league pennant. Bill Clarkson and Ben Cantwell, both pitchers, and Al Spohrer, catcher. were thrown in with Barnes for good measure. The trade undoubtedly will benefit both clubs. The Braves need pitch ing strength and get three* pitchers w’here they had only one before. Al Spohrer also will be* of value to the Braves as a relief catcher for Zach Taylor. Genewich is the* third recent addi I tion to the Giants who recently ae- I quired Bob O'Farrell from the Card- . Inals and Russell Wrightstone, util- : Ry player, from the Phillies. Genewich is 30 and has been with the Braves for six years. He won eleven games and lost eight last year and thus far this esason has won three and lost five. Barnes has won three and lost two. “We had to give more than we should have to get the man we wanted," McGraw said today in discussing the trade. "Tthete is a good chance for the pennant, and we will sacrifice a good deal to bolster the weak spots.’’ o * WITH THE BIG * * LEAGUE STARS * * * * * * A* ****** - (U.P.)-~ Babe Ruth: Hit home run No. 24. driving in two runs in three turns at : bat.
