GIANT MANAGER MAY QUIT POST New York. Sept. 3 —<U.R) — The mysterious almence of John J. McGraw from the New York Giants has started the rumor that the "Little Napoleon” will not manage the team next season. Despite the fact that the Giants are far from out of the running in the National league race McGraw continues to remain away from the club and so far as known has never made any explanation. Dave Bancroft, former Giants’ shortstop who came back to the t«nm as coach this season after managing the Boston Braves and playing at Brooklyn, has had charge of the club In McGraw’s absence and, in many quarters, is being named as the next manager of the Giants. There seems to be little doubt, but that there Is a rift in the I Giants' ranks. Many stories have been circulated including one which said that Charles A. Stoneham. president of the club, strenuously objected to members of the Giants visiting Rogers Hornsby, who was recovering from his ankle injury on his farm at St. Louis, when the Giants were out west. Several weeks ago a reported chance in the ownership of the Gants brought a denial from Stoneham that he planned to sell his controlling interest of 51 per cent. At that time the Giants issued an official statement under the signatures of Stoneham and McGraw saying that McGraw’s absence from the team was due to “personal matters" and that he would join the club as soon as th°v were successfully terminated. Tn some quarters it is said that McGraw has attempted to enlist the aid of several wealthy backers to buy out Stoneham and as-mme the presidency of the club. Failing in th's. the story goes, he has elected to resign as manager l at the close of the present season. Only last spring it was rumored that McGraw would leave the Giants and succeed the late Miller J. Huggins as manager of the , Yankees. At that time Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, sad that he had made McGraw no offers, but that if McGraw were *ree he would make every effort to obtain him. Bob Shawkey’s successful debut In his first year as pilot of the Yankees, however, has altered the situation somewhat but it is be--I’eved McGraw, if free, would be given careful consideration by Col. Ruppert. McGraw became manager of the Giants in 1903 and won his first pennant the next season. In 27 vears at the helm of the Giants he has won 10 pennants, finished second 11 times and third three

Smothering spells were frequent. My kidneys were in a i frightful state, my feet and ankles ; were swollen and my back ached ! constantly. Constipation and nervI ousness added to my misery. "Konjola did more for me than all else I tried and I am certainly glad to endorse this fine medicine. Improvement began with the treatment and I gained each day. Soon the swelling left my feet and ankles and I was free from those terrible back pains. Food digests much better and I am gaining in vitality each day. I can not say too much in praise of this great medicine.” When given a real test, in usual cases over a six to eight I week period, Konjola has made a ■ record that would frequently chai--1 lenge belief were the actual fact/ not known and verified.
