HERZOG IS FOE OF
NEW YORK GIANTS
Ex-Member Circulates Weak
nesses of McGraw's Team
to Their Opponents.
DONLIN'S HOOTS ARE CAUSE
Slanager of Reds Feels Stings and
Is Doing His Best to Beat ei
Plajing Slates Bresnahan
Cub Manager, Forecast.
BY CHRISTY MATHEWSON,
The Giants' Star Pitcher.
NEW YORK, Sept. 5. (Special.)
There is one man who would be glad
to see the Giants beaten out of the
championship this year, and he is
Charley Herzog. the manager of the
Cincinnati Reds, and at two separate
times in his career a member of the
New York club. He feels bitterly to
ward his old team, ana every time the
Reds have faced the Giants this sea
Bon he has driven the Reds to death to
beat us, and with ralr success.
Men on other clubs have told me that
Herzog is so anxious to see the Giants
lose that he has Informed contenders
what he thought the weaknesses of the
club and of the men on it are, as he be
lieves he knows them. Herzog was
never bitter toward the Giants until
there was some kidding back and forth
during the first series between the two
teams this season.
"Mike" Doniin. on the coaching lines,
kept after Herzog pretty hard, and it
got under the skin of the Cincinnati
manager. Then he also was a little
touchy over the fact that he had sat
on the bench part of last season when
he was replaced by Shafer, and he was
tickled to death when Shafer threw
the club down this year.
Henog Trade Die to Mistake.
If McGraw had not been in the
middle of the Pacific Ocean last Win
ter when the opportunity for Herzog
to manage the Reds, if a trade could
be swung, bobbed up, Charley would
even now be a member of the Giants,
and the team would be well in front in
the present race, too, I believe. Mc
Graw left instructions that Herzog was
not to be traded to Cincinnati unless
those in charge were sure that Shafer
would report. There was a misunder
standing, and the impression existed in
New York that McGraw had said Shafer
would report The Giants' manager had
a talk with the temperamei.lal third
baseman when the world's tourists were
in Lios Angeles, but could get no defi
nite answer out of Shafer at that time.
During the league meeting, when
Herrmann offered Herzog the Cincin
nati job, "Charley" was anxious to get
it and pushed the deal hard. He was
finally traded and then Shafer came
along with his announcement that he
was through with baseball for good.
McGraw was not at all satisfied with
the deal.
"It looks," said he when he returned
from his trip around the world, "as if
I had been traded right out of a third
baseman. It would be a fine thing if
we lost & championship because of it."
McGraw l dually Aids Men.
It has always been McGraw's policy
"not to stand in the way of veterans of
his club when they have a chance to
get a better job by taking charge of a
team. He helped Roger Bresnahan to
land in St. Louis, and he did not try
to hold Wllbert Robinson when he was
offered the job in Brooklyn, although
he would have liked "Robbie' to handle
his pitchers again. But Herzog was
comparatively young in the game. He
got his first start with the Giants In
1908, and McGraw thought that there
was time enougli ahead for him to go
to managing, especially as the deal
left him shy of a third baseman.
I don't for a minute believe that any
thing Herzog may have told the mem
bers and managers of other clubs of
the supposed weaknesses of the Giants
has hurt the New York team. He does
not know any more about the flaws of
the club than does the average man
ager who has been in the league for
a year or two, and, besides, it is hard
to get knowledge of any great value
in this second-handed way. We have
been told before world's series of the
"grooves" and weaknesses of our op
ponents by baseball men supposed to
know, but I have never found that this
information profited us to any extent.
It is the same with a pitcher when
he is working on a batter he has never
faced before. He can obtain only a
general knowledge of the hitter's ten
dencies from another twirler, but he
must discover the fine points of work
ing on him for himself, fitting them to
his own style. When I first pitched to
Delehanty at the time he was with the
old Philadelphia club, somebody had
told me that he did not like a curve
ball. He hit two curve balls I handed
him to the fence. Afterwards I tried
fast ones on the corners and got bet
ter results.
Other ex-Members Are Foes.
It is natural for a man of Herzog's
nervous temperament to want to see
his old club beaten after he has left
It. In fact, most players, following a
transfer to another team, are glad to
see the old crowd trimmed. None of
us bears Herzog any hard feeling on
this angle. "Herzie" even went so far
as to tell Huggins that if St. Louis once
caught us. "we would quit cold."
A lot of ex-members of the Giants
seem to be making trouble for us this
year. In tho Cubs' fight for the pen
nant. Roger Bresnahan is practically
the manager, having full charge of the
team on the field. The story in Chi
cago is that O'Day has been bothered
by cliques and rows on the club and
that he has foolishly taken sides in
these. It Is true that Bresnahan had a
fight with "Heinle" Zimmerman when
Chicago was in Brooklyn on the last
trip, but Roger blows up quickly and
then forgets about it a minute after
wards, so that this is all patched up.
The gossip in Chicago is that Bresna
han will be the next manager of the
Cubs. If he gets the Job I would not
be surprised to see him take hold of
the team and follow in Chance's tracks.
He would be the same type of leader,
driving all the time. I don't think he
would win as many clubhouse argu
ments as Chance did, for Frank was
the physical superior of any man on
his club, but Roger would be getting
into them just the same. Bresnahan
had enough experience in handling a
club in St. Louis to take charge in Chi
cago and make a great record with
the material which would be at his dis
posal. CAME EXPENDITURES $83,258

'FRAT' HURTS BASEBALL
MAGNATES JUSTIFIED IN OBJECT
ING TO IT.
Real Menace That Threatened National
Sport Today Told In Formation
of Player' Union.
While there is no doubt that ball
players have the right to be organized
into a protective association like those
of other laboring classes, there is no
doubt that it has hurt their popularity
among fans. Even calling their or
ganization a "fraternity," instead of a
union, has not helped much towards
disguising its real nature and purpose.
Baseball magnates were opposed to
the formation of the fraternity, and
most of its preliminary negotiations
were conducted with great secrecy, so
. i . . . ... 1 1 v Irnnwn who
tnai it uvh 6chwj '
were behind it until it was launched,
full grown, on the unsuspecting world.
The reason the magnates were and are
opposed to it was and is the same as
the reason why most magnates in any
other line of business dislike to see
their employes organized. It means the
curtailing of their power, and the con
sequent necessity of dealing with em
ployes as a body instead of as indi
viduals. It is much easier to handle
a hundred individuals than It is to
handle a union with a hundred mem
bers and a president and walking del
egates and such.
But organized baseball might well
have opposed the fraternity for the
subtler reason that It would attenuate
the gate receipts to have the public re
gard the players as workingmen in
stead of heroes. Both players and mag
nates apparently walked in without
having considered this phase of it.
"Fraternity." name of the body, may
indicate that President Fultz had taken
this factor into consideration.
The historic example of the Brother
hood League has lost much of its fresh
ness and application, because the ball
player of today is considerably further
along the line of development than the
athlete of the '90s. The real menace
that threatens baseball today is the
Players' Fraternity. Not because play
ers have no rights, for they have, and
not because the magnates are lofty
minded philanthropists, for they are
not but because baseball today has
come to be a battle for profits between
magnate and player, and the fans are

With Europe shaking under the tread of marching armies with
commerce on the high seas at a standstill it is not likely that the

a range of imported fabrics as is represented in our Fall Kuppen

The Scotch dyers, the chinchilla weaver of Germany and the
French Montagnac maker, have all laid aside the implements of peace
for those of war.
But meanwhile, the foreign woolens of which these Kuppenheimer

tournament which this year will be held
at the Walla Walla Frontier Days by
the Walla Walla Amateur Athletic
Club.
The Frontier Days will be Septem
ber 14 to 19, and the boxing and
wrestling will be held at night, on
Wednesday and Thursday of the fes
tival week. The arena arrangements
have been made and the whole will be
the most unique the Northwest has
had in some time.
In place of the usual stuffy hall and
crowded seats, the boxing and wrestling
will be held in the open air, on a stage
placed In the arena where the Frontier
Day events are to be held
All to Be Chanced.
Boxers and spectators will be in bet
ter environments than is expected at
such meets. To enter a crowded hall,
from the fresh air, put on the mitts
and expect to make a good showing
is hard for any man, under the addi
tional excitement of the moment.
Manager Dudley Evans, of the Walla
Walla Club, was In the city yesterday
and declared that everything pointed
towards a most successful tournament.
Almost every club in the association
has answered and while definite
response is still lacking in some cases
he is sure that the meet will Tiava
many more entrants than turned out
last year, when the meet was staged
at Pendleton.
In Portland, the Multnomah Club
long ago accepted with an entry list
of five weights and a possibility of
more. Tommy Tracy Is grooming the
boys now and Montpier, Huelat, and
Miebus are three who are already on,
the certain list.
Beaver Club Men Ready.
The Beaver Athletic Club, which
sent such a strong team to Pendleton,
again is ready with a list every bit as
good. The names may be somewhat
new, but Mike Butler has yet to send
anyone to a turnout who lacks distinct
class.
The Armory Athletic Club will have
seven entries covering 115 pounds, 125,
135, 145 and 158. The Spokane Club
has agreed to enter all eight classes
and the Hilyard Club of that country
will enter every class from 115 pounds
up.
Seattle and other cities of the Sound
probably will be there with several
men each. The British Columbia club3
are unknown factors. The excitement
of the war may bar entries from them,
though there still is some chance that
one or two boys may stray down to
Walla Walla for the big carnival of
boxing and wrestling.

But After Trip Away From Polo
Gronnda Giants' Mannger Can
See Nothing but Victory.
"It's the league against New York.
I feel like Kaiser Bill." So complains
Muggsy McGraw. The Giant pilot had
nothing else to oo than to register a
kick. The Cub-Ulant combat was can
celed, Muggsy's athletes had departed
for a fling at the P'. G., and the little
general was left to himself and soli
tude In a hostile country.
McGraw was i-eep In thought and
deep in a huge leather chair in the lob
by of a Mlchlgan-avenue sleep foundry
when accosted by a heartless inter
viewer. "Well, what do you think of
It?" was hurriedly nrod at the scrappy
general.
"Well, It's this way." he began. "We
are not going to win In a walk. Per
haps we may not cop at all. but my
point is that every club in the league
is sending Its men to night school to
figure out ways and means to pull us
off the top perch. And lately none of
them Is overlooking a bet The um
pires are not handing us anything.
"Even the crowds welcome my men
aa though they were Germans on
French soil. Guess we have dominated
the league for so long that fans every
where are pulling for the under dog to
win out. I may be mistaken, but I
think the Giants can surprise these
same fans and 1 am not overlooking
the steady galu of the other contend
ers. T really believe that next week will
mark the beginning of our rapid ad
vance toward the pennant. St. Louis
has been gaining steadily and must be
watched. The Braves have been going
at a furious pace. In the meantime my
men have sort of loafed on the job.
They were too firmly convinced that
they could beat out the field in a walk.
Naturally they went a bit stale, but
with two clubs right on their heels and
threatening to assume the lead, the
men are going out and play ball as
though they meant business.
"What makes me feel good Is the fact
that the Giants have about 30 more
games to play on the Polo Grounda Af
ter leaving Chicago we stop at Pitts
burg for a day and then visit Boston.
Brooklyn and Philadelphia, with a se
ries with the Dodgers on tho Polo
Grounds sandwiched In. After Septem
ber 16 we do not leave our home dia
mond, meeting the Western clubs In
order and winding up the season with
Ove games against Boston and three
against Philadelphia.
"Anybody connected with baseball
knows we are a hard team to beat on
the Polo Grounds." concluded Ma .
