the initial sack for the Louisville club
of the American association. passed
Through the city yesterday and was a
visitor at American league headQuar-

I'VE had great finish in the Ameri-
can association" said CAMEL.
'One of the best men in our league
during the past year was Lee Tame
hill, who has been secured by Comiskey
for next season." he continued.
There are two or three other pretty
good ball players in the association
teams, too. There's Turner. third base
for Columbus. and O'Brien. who plays
short for Indianapolis. Big league mag
: mates will be after them pretty soon.

Columbus, l understand. There is an

goyernable temper. I went down one
day to see what his work looked like
and was prepared to make him good
offer. But he spoiled the whole thing
by fiaring I'D at the umpire. A bad
strike was called ON him and he flew
into a rage. The umpire took it all
coolly and said never word. When the
next ball was pitched he threw his bat
viciously at the ball and walked to the

without saying word to any one.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 26.-Harvard's
football captain, Robert Herman, is one
of the most remarkable college ath-
letes in the world
He plays left half-back on the var
sity team and in that position ranks
with the best men of the gridiron. He
is a big man, standing 6 feet high and
weighing 1876 pounds. but so fast run
ner that his strong point is circling the
end.
He is of ideal build for plunging
half back, and the force with which he
plunges into and tears through the CEN
ter of the line is only little less danger
Gus to an opposing team than the
speed with which he goes around the
end.
He is a versatile athlete. As catcher
on the Crimson baseball team he is
classed with the stars of the collegiate
diamond He is also a first-class oars
man, but baseball takes up his time In
the spring to exclusion of aquatics.
He is Harvard's best high jumper, has
cleared six feet in competition. and rep
resented the Crimson in that event at
the international games.
The football coaches at Cambridge
have great hopes for their team with
Herman in charge. He is the kicker OF
the university and in a game can punt
from fifty to seventy yards.
He will play this year in his old posi-
ton of left half-back, taking the posi-
ton Of full-back when a kick is needed.
