A few weeks ago Manager Birming
ham. of the Naps caused it to be an
nounced that he would ask for waivers
on Falkenberg, his elongated pitcher.
Since then Falkenberg has worked in
three games and won them, shutting
out his opponents in each.
Walter Johnson, of the Senators, lost
another game yesterday, going to defeat
in a ten-inning battle with the Ath
letics.
* * *
The games yesterday did not change
the standings of the leaderss and runners
up in the big leagues as all four teams
grabbed off double-headers. The Naps
are still seven games behind the Ath
letics and the Phillies trail the Giants
by eleven games.
* * *
It is expected that Jack Coombs, the
star tw’irler of the Athletics, who has
been out of the game nearly all sea
son because if illness and injuries, will
be able to take his regular turn in the
box in about two weeks.
* * *
In the American League yesterday
the Athletics twice defeated the Sena
tors, the Naps handed a double defeat
‘ to the White Sox. the Red Sox did the
same thing to the Yankees and the Ti
gers grabbed off both bills from the
Browns.
* * *
In the National League the Giants
walloped the Braves twice, each game
going to extra innings; the Phillies took
a pair from the Dodgers, the Braves and
Reds broke even and Chicago took the
first game from the Cardinals, the sec
ond ending in a tie.
• • •
Joe Jackson of the Naps, who was
leading Ty Cobb, of the Tigers, by one
point when the last American League
batting averages were compiled, made a
slight gain yesterday, outbatting Cobb.
Brown and Christie
In Ten-Round Draw
TERRE HAUTE, IND., Sept. 2.—
George “Knockout” Brown and Gus
Christie battled ten rounds to a draw
here yesterday. Brown kept on top
of his opponent at all times, and had
he been able to land more clean
blows w’ould have carried off the ver
dict.
Christie was the cleverer of the two
and fought the cleaner fight. The
bout was full of action.
Charlie White Hands
Griffiths Bad Lacing
CANTON, OHIO, Sept. 2.—Johnny
Griffiths, the local sensation, suffered
the first defeat of his career at the
hands of Charlie White, in a twelve-
round bout here yesterday. White
gave the greatest exhibition of boxing
ever witnessed in a local ring.
The Chicago boy had a big margin
in eight of the twelve rounds and
nearly had Griffiths out at the finish.
White showed a. stiff punch in his left
hand, and several times made the
home boy cover up in order to keep
from being knocked out.
Griffiths managed to have a slight
shade in two rounds, while the other
two w r ere even. This is the first time
that Griffiths was forced to leave the
ring a loser. He was badly beaten at
the finish.
Promoters here are now trying to
match White with either Joe Maridot,
Tommy Murphy or Leach Cross. His
showing here yesterday entitles him
to a bout with the best in the light
weight division.

NEW PACING RECORD.
HARTFORD, CONN . Sept. 2. Braden
Direct to-day is the holder of the sea
son’s pacing record. He stepped a heat
here yesterday in 2:02‘/4.
Third-Rater Gives
Wolgast Bad Beating
OAKLAND, CAL., Sept. 2—Ad
Wolgast, former lightweight champion
of the world, arrived at the conclu
sion to-day that he belongs to the
“has-been” class. The “Michigan
Wildcat” tried conclusions yesterday
with Joe Azevedo, regarded as a third,
rater, and the latter severely punched
the former champion. He battered Ad
all around the ring and sending him
crashing to the mat in the seventh
round. Wolgast was on his feet at
the finish of the ten-round bout.
C HICAGO, Sept. 2.—John J. Mc-
Graw, of the New York Giant9,
is the highest paid manager in
baseball.
McGraw receives $25,000 a year for
managing the Giants.
McGraw will receive this sum for
five years after the expiration of 1913.
For the first time the inside story
of the way in which McGraw’ signed
this big contract is told. The story
came from the lips of the little boss
himself. And it revealed him as a
man able to play the game of “blulT”
off the field as well as on it.
McGraw demanded that sum. And
one of the reasons he secured it was
because He offered just one alterna
tive—his resignation.
Here is what happened:
McGraw. during the lifetime of John
Brush, was satisfied. The relations
of the magnate and the manager were
cordial. They understood each other
McGraw knew what to expect and
the two went along very pleasantly
On the death of Mr. Brush new men
came to the head of the club. Mc-
Graw’s contract had but a short tim*
to r un.
As the story goes, Brush had as
sured McGraw that for his faithful
ness in handling the club he would
be rewarded in Brush’s will. It was
understood, it is said, that he would
get a piece of the club. McGraw was ;
content.
But when the will was opened there j
was nothing there for Muggsy. An- ;
gered to the quick, he rushed in with
his resignation.
It is said there were no prelimi- !
narles. The scrappy manager said h.
had come to resign. The officials
couldn't understand the proceeding
They asked McGraw if he wasn’t sat
isfied. He answered that he was not
They wanted him to go into details
and to state his grievances.
Then came the opening. They want
ed to know whether there wasn’t some
way by which he could be retained
If there were not some circumstances
which w’ould cause him to reconsider
his determination.
The fighting boss answered that
there was. He stated that if his.sal
ary was increased to $25,000 a year
and the contract ran for five years
he w’ould sign a new contract then
and there.
They demurred. McGraw was get
ting in the neighborhood of $18,000.
It was pointed out that this was ;
rather a heavy increase. McGraw ad- 1
mltted the fact, but stated thAt $25,00u i
a year for five years was his price.
A new contract was drawn up. Mc
Graw was handed a pen. He affixed
his signature and went out of the
office of the New York ball club the
highest salaried man connected with
the playing end of the game.
The story comes straight from the
little Napoleon, a^ they sometimes
call him, himself.
In those five years McGraw will be
paid $125,000. And you can wager it
isn’t one of those baseball contracts
that permit a club owner to turn
player, salary and all over to some
other club or give him his uncon
ditional release, with the salary ceas
ing on the day that it goes into ef
fect.
It’s $25,000 ® year for five years,
rain, shine, thunder, lightning, first
place, last place, top of the second
division or last place in the first.
