Credie, who, not getting a telegram
from Cincinnati yesterday, thinks the
ex-Portland captain Is no longer

Owner Carry Hermann of the Cin
cinnati Nationals asked the Mc
Credies for an option on Rodgers
until December CO, which w a yester
day, fctating that the question of pur
chase would be settled at the annual
meeting of the Reds' directors.
Whether Hermann knew beforehand
that the dove of peace was about to
alight and that he could have a whole
flock of Federal players, or whether he
really thought Rodgers of major league
material and wanted to keep him, are
moot questions. There are those who
think that Hermann was feathering
his own nes-t and wanted to be on the
safe side by holding to Rodgers as
long as possible.
