SECOND GUESSERS AN ASSET

Help to Make Baseball What It la, -Says .Manager McGraw—Have Interest of Home\Team. The average major-league, or, for that matter, minor league, manager detests “second guessers”—fans who, after a play has gone wrong, demand to know why the manager didn’t do so and so, Instead of employing the strategy he deemed most advisable. However, John McGraw is not one of those who look with disfavor on this species of rooter. “The ‘second guessers’ help to make baseball what it is,” says the Giant leader. "They are usually the kind of fellows who attend every game they possibly can and who have the interest of the home team at heart They are so disappointed when the home team loses that they feel constrained to take the matter up with the manager, and a fellow who has that much interest In baseball is, I Contend, an asset to the sport” ■ _a : •
