GIANTS TO DO OWN THINKING ON FIELD UNDER TERRY
Successor to McGraw Makes Radical Changes Leniency and Individual Thought to Replace ‘Little Napoleon’s’ Rigid Discipline and Military Orders to Climb From Cellar. By T filed Peru• NEW YORK June * Big Bill Terry. dark-haired. slugging first baseman of the New York Giants, has announced in typical southpaw fashion that hereafter the Giants will be allowed to think, and will be managed as John J. McGraw, the Little Napoleon of baseball, never managed them.
Terry succeeded the rough-riding, autocratic McGraw Friday—succeeded the man who once protested on the field that "theres too much thinking on this ball club ’ McGraw It was who did the th aking—so far as his orders were concerned. The players, Terry indicated. will do their own thinking from now on. Terry’s leniency and plans for individual thought will replace McGraws rigid discipline and military orders—and maybe by this sudden reversal of policy the Giants ran be lured from the National League's cellar and "the red’ into a first-division berth in "the black.’’ The venerable, square-jawed McGraw stepped down from the managership after tree decades of constant battling for victory, during which he won ten pennants, three world champinoships. and finished in first division every vear .save two.

But now, at 59. completing forty-one years of active connection with baseball, he leaves the Giants floundering in the same last place where he found them in 1902. The greatest little fighting man who ever drew on spikes promised a couple of years ago that he never would quit until * they carry me off the field."

ill during the club’s recent western trip, and he saw bis last full game !on May 10 A sveere attack of sinus trouble afflicted him. Only when physicians decided McGraw no longer could accompany the club on its trips, did he decide to resign. I don t believe in long-distance management," the master mind’ explained. Terry Star on Field Terry, the Memphis slugger, is fared with the same problems and has the same opportunity which greeted McGraw when he took over the team thirty years ago. He is young, only 34. He is possii bly the best first baseman in baseball. unequalled as a fielder, and Nation League batting champion in 1930 with a percentage of .401. Last year. Chick Hafey beat him out for the title by a fractional margin. This season lie has averaged .341. "Memphis Bill" has been with the Giants steadily since the fall of 1923. In the latter part of 1925. he succeeded long George Kelly as the team's first baseman. Born in Atlanta. Terry played sandlot ball until he broke into the organized came with the Atlanta Crackers in 1914 He then shifted to Thomasville, Newman and Little Rock. Former Toledo Pilot In 1922. the Giants purchased him from Little Rock. He managed the Toledo Club for part of the 1923 season. then was recalled by the Giants. Terry was a persistent holdout .during the spring of this year, obI .jecting to a cut in his 1931 salary of $24,000. He was brought to terms after a personal confeernce with McGraw in New Orleans. His salary this season is understood to be about $20,000. The new manager explained that McGraw had first approached him with teh proposal of taking over the club on Thursday, adding. "When I agreed and ne decided to resign, he looked like a man who had hwari a forty-pound weight lifted from his head." .McGraw Is Vice-President. McC.raw was working on a fiveyear contract with the Giants, having signed for this term in 1930 at an annual alary estimated to be about 575.000. McGraw will continue with the Giants as vice-president and general adviser, although Terry will have complete say as manager. McGraw s own methods as manager are best illustrated by the story of the hitter who was ordered to bunt, but instead hit a home run. The hitter crossed the home plate, a great smile of satisfaction wreathing his face. "That home run " McGraw thundered. "will cost you just SIOO. I told you to bunt. There is entirely too much thinking in this club.”
Finale With Hens Lost Mter Tribe Comes Close
Bp Timex Special TOLEDO. June 4.—The series windup with the Hens here Friday sa wthe Indians go down again after staging a come-from-behind battle, and the Hens coppcpd the contest in ten innings. 8 to 7.. Tradings 5 to 0 at the end of three innings, the Tribesmen started to climb, and by the eighth stanza were out in front. 7 to 5. In the ninth, after two down, the Hens rushed two runners over the plate and knotted the game at 7-all, and in the tenth White beat out an infield hit. Henline sacrificed and Turgeon batted in White with the winning run on a single. Hits were fifteen for the Hooriers and fourteen for Toledo, Archie Campbell wound up as the lasing hurler. Tribe pitchers employed were Cooney. Barnhart and Campbell and Toledo used Moore and Winegarner. It was just another tough one to lose for Indianapolis and the second defeat by a one-nin margin in two days. Some of the Tribe flingers have lost their cunning. The ninth Friday was a heartbreaker for the Hoosiers. Leading 8 to 7. Knickerbocker of the Hens singled after one down and was forced by Powers, leaving one out to go to put the Indians across. West produced a double, however. Powers stopping at third. Barnhart was derricked and Campbell relieved him on the Tribe mound. Sweeney shot a single to right, scoring Powers and West, tying the game. Sweeney moved up on a wild pitch and was out trying to score when Goldman fumbled Ward's grounder. The inning was over, but not the game, and the Hens thumped in the tenth.

McGraw, Inspired b y Connie Mack’s Great Comeback, Wanted One More World Series
BY JOE WILLIAMS SpnrU Editor. New York World-Telerr*m NEW YORK. June 4.—After thirty years of continuous services. John Joseph McGraw has resigned as manager of Giants, leaving behind a glorious record as a pleyer. team leader and personality. At the age of 59 McGraw steps down because of failing health, with his Giants in last place apparently headed for no place in particular, an ironical climax of a career marked by many successes and a stem intolerance for mediocrity.* McGraw is possessed of al the normal vanities that successful leaders develop. He is vain about his position in baseball, his records as a builder of championship teams, his distinction as the master mind and the Little Napoleon. To quit with his team on the rocks must have been a terrific sacrifice to his pride. McGraw wanted to stay in baseball long enough to get into one more world series. The comeback of Cornelius McGillicuddy with the Athletics stirred the Giants’ leader with mixed emotions of envy and admiration. Envy, because McGraw yearned for just such a spot himself—admiration because it demonstrated the old guard still was capable. McGraw has been the Giants so long that the question naturally arises: What is to become of the Giants under anew- regime? Ten years ago this question would have been more pertinent than it is today. The truth is, McGraw has not been the Giants for a long time. And by the same token the
Giants have not been the Giants. The baseball institution that was the Giants has been slowly crumbling for a number of years. The team has not won a championship since 1924. Except for flashes the team has shown little to indicate it was directed by McGraw . Oniy in memory do the lively traditions of the old swashbuckling Giants of a past generation still exist. Once the dominant factor in metropolis baseball, the Giants for some time have lagged b'hind. basking in the reflected glory of the Ruthian era and the more progressive Yankee management.
Tribesmen Invade New Bird Plant for Series fly 7 i mr* Special COLUMBUS. O, June 4.—After dropping two out of three to sev-enth-place Hens at Toledo, the Indianapolis Indians invaded the Buckeye capital today to begin a three-game stand at the Red Birds' new 5400.000 stadium, consisting of one tilt this afternoon and a doubleheader Sunday. Monday's contest has been moved up and will be played off in the Sabbath twin bill. The Birds opened their new park Friday and slaughtered Louisville. 11 to 2. before a crowd of 10.713. If weather is clear on Sunday another mormous turnout is expected, and there were signs this morning that a fair assemblage would be on hand for the Indian-Bird opener today.
The new Columbus park Is a mammoth structure with a seating capacity of 17.000, including 14.000 grand stand seats and 3.000 bleacher space. Standing room will accommodate about 3.000. The playing field is in just fair condition at present and there are plenty of "wrinkles.’’ The last time the Indians visited Columbus they dropped three in a row and the Birds again are at the peak of strength as the Tribesmen make their second call.

THERE was a time when McGraw ran the whole show, and during that time the Giants won many championships and the various owners of the club made huge fortunes. McGraw made his own deals, paid his own prices, bought and sold players as the whim struck him asking no advice and courting none. He was supremely the boss off and on the field. McGraw began to fade as a leader when two of his star players. Rogers Hornsby and Burleigh Grimes, were sent away in mysterious deals Justified only by a meager bulletin from the business office that the men were disposed of "for the best interests of the team." The transaction moved one of McGraw’s followers to inquire: "For the best interests of which team?" Since that time the Giants have been consistently unsuccessful as championship contenders and MsGraw has been little more than a fat, elderly gentleman sitting in the dugout. plagued with recurrent ailments of a nature to which fat. olderly gentlemen are susceptible. The roaring fires of fight in his bosom had burned down to smouldering embers. Ti;e game offered no more stirring spectacle in the old days at the Polo Grounds than the short, stocky figure of McGraw moving toward the home plate umpire with a chip and his shoulder and a quip on his lips. It was. somehow, a natural part of the Giant picture. When McGraw failed to fly into the face of an umpire over a close decision that went the other way, the customers became
stispicious and alarmed—either something was desperately wrong with thp manager or the game itself was slipping. It is not a part of the records that McGraw ever won one of these blazing battles of the mouth, nor is it in the records that he ever quit trying. In everything his slogan was to go all the way. run everything out and battle for your rights—even when you are w-rong. To the end McGraw was faithful to his truculent creed. The last official act he performed as manager of the Giants was to file a protest with the league president against Bill Klem. the umpire.

Big Leagues
By I nilrd Prr** NEW YORK. June 4—Extra-in-ninf homers broke up two big league gar es Friday. Tory Piet, the hustling Pittsburgh rook.e second-sacker. clouted one of Jacki? May's offerings over the fence in the eleventh inning to give the Bucs a 6 to 5 decision over the Chicago Cubs, National League leaders. The blow gave Steve Swetonic his fifth consecutive mound triumph and his sixth in seven 1932 starts. Herman and Jurges. with three hits each, lead the fourteen-hit attack upon Swetonic. and Piet, with four out of five, and Travnor and P. Waner paced the Pirate bombardment on Smith and May. St, Louis got but five hits off Vic Frasier, the young White Sox hurler. but two of them were home runs and gave the Browns a 2 to 1 teninning victory. Goose Goslin’s tenth-inning blow and Bruce Campbell's circuit drive in the first frame decided the tilt. George Blaeholder gave the Hose ten hits, but tightened in the pinches and left eleven Sox stranded. Cleveland took both ends of n twin bill from the Detroit Tigers, 3 to 1 and 10 to 7. Wes Ferrell won his own game when he homered in the fifth frame of the first game with Montague on base. In the nightcap, the Indians took advantage of poor Tiger pitching to win. Hack Wilson hit his third homer in two days and eighth of the season, but the Dodgers bowed to Boston. 6 to 5. The Braves won in the ninth when Red Worthington doubled to score Urbanski. who had reached first on an error by Bruce Caldwell, Brooklyn's new first baseman. Philadelphia's double-header with the Giants. Cincinnati's game at St. Louis, and Washington at Boston in the American League were washed out.
