AYRES’ 2:10 TROT TOPS FAIRGROUND RACING BILL

McGraw Signs 5-Y ear i.Contract With Giants 111 Health Keeps Veteran Pilot Away From Club; little Napoleon’ Is Given SIO,OOO a Year Salary Increase for Long Term. BY GEORGE KJSKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 4—John J. McGraw has signed a contract to manage the New York Giants for five more years, and harmony apparently has been restored among the owners and officials of the club. With McGraw absent from the team for many weeks, many conflicting reports were circulated about the state of affairs among the Giants’ officials and McGraw’s future plans. To quiet these rumors, Charles A. Stoneham. president and principal stockholder of the club, officially announced Wednesday:

t. That McGraw bad sigped a five-year contract, beginning In 1931. 5. Thai McGraw’* absence from the club was due to ill health. 3. That McGraw was under doctor's orders to keep off the bench. 1. That McGraw intends to finish his baseball career as a National League manager. S. That McGraw has been in constant touch with the Giants while on the road as well as at the Polo grounds. Under the terms of McGraw’s new contract, it is understood that he will draw a yearly salary of $70,000, an increase of SIO,OOO over his present contract. McGraw’s present contract is said to pay him $40,000 as manager of the Giants and $20,000 as vice-president of the club. Although McGraw is not confined to his bed. it is doubtful if he will assume active direction of the Giants from the bench again this season. For the last three years McGraw has been forced to absent himself from the Giants’ bench because of illness or injuries. The rumors concerning McGraw’s retirement started when the veteran manager failed to accompany the Giants on their final western trip. McGraw's absence at that time was reported as due to “personal matters.” Not until Wednesday when Stoneham announced that McGraw had signed anew long-term contract did it become known that the veteran manager was under doctor's orders to remain off the bench.

Indians Show Well at Bat, but Finish Short of Runs

Bn Times Special _ COLUMBUS, O , Sept. 4.—Compiling a neat lead in the early innings, the Coluipbus Senators easily won the series opener with the Indians here Wednesday. 7 to 4, with both clubs boosting batting averages, the hits being plentiful. Dutch-Kemner went the entire route on the local mound despite the fact the Hoosiers solved him for eleven safeties, including a home run by Monahan. Parks got bombarded for ten hits and six runs in six innings and Mulroney pitched the seventh and eighth for the visitors. Paul Wolfe, Tribe utility infielder, who has been out of action for many weeks Owing to injuries, played second base for the Hoosiers and turned in a fine fielding game with ten chances accepted without a miss. He had seven assists. The youth went hitless, however. Earl Smith started the Senator scoring by poling a home run in the

De Paolo said he was confident the machine will break the record of 231.36 miles an hour established at Daytona Beach in 1929 by the late Sir H. O. D. Segrave, British sportsman. • It has not been decided which driver will pilot the car.

Shires Asks Johnson to Farm Him for Experience

BWM ELIEVE it or not, Art Shires has requested Manager Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators to farm him out to the minors, where he may get such experience as he requires to become an outfielder, in accordance with the plans I of his club to convert him into a j flychaser. „ • “I know you can't use me every j day, and I’m willing to begin all over again to get the hang of finer points of outfielding,” Art is reported to have said to his manager. Since the Senators purchased Joe Kuhel from Kansas City as an understudy for Joe Judge at first base, Shires has been relegated to the outfield. “I can never learn my new job while warming the bench,” Shires continued. “I know I can hit, and I’m willing to gamble on my ability to play the outfield as a minor leaguer.” While Manager Johnson is said to have been impressed with the earnest attitude of Shires, he doubted if waivers could be obtained on | the player to carry out Art’s desires.
