The Big Split-Up
The big split-up between McGraw
and his flelddcaptaln came during the
fifth game of the aerles at Chicago.
the game. in which hfoGraw permitted
the White Sox to throw a barrage fire
all around Slim Saline before he. decid-
ed to take him out of the pastime.
And, of course. the result of that
fifth game was in reality the thing.
that broke the backs of the Giants and
massed up all the harmony there was
in the MoGraw camp.
Hersog and .McGraw bad words.
it is said and since then they have
not complimented each other by past
ing the time of day.
Henog said during the National
League meeting that he couldn't play
another season under Wow—hr
couldn't and wouldn't. That ls why he
asked the club to sell or‘rtrnde him——
because he and Mack couldn't pull in
double harness as manager and field
captain, '
Summing it all up“ the answer
seems to be that Mofiraw and Horses
had vastly diiferent opinions regard-
ing the manner in which a ball club
should be handled, and as Book has
been a manager, he. had to have his
say at times. '
All of which proves that you can't
run a ball club with two, managers
drawing salary on the same pay roll.
The chance for harmony on such a
club is as dark as the inside of a gen-
eral's boot.
