Ganzel Is To Manage
 Reds Again Next Year

Cincinnati August 19.-(Special) D. TJohn Ganzel has made good as manager of the Reds, and it is settled fact that he will be retained in charge of the team for next season. He has done fully as well as was to be expected
 with the material at hand, and even better than many thought he would do when he took hold. Mainly as the re- suit of his advice and example ehe Reds have played a faster, cleaner. snappier game of ball this season than at any time in recent years. Though the team is now in the second division, and will doubtless remain there it is higher than it was at any time lest season, and has played vastly better and more consistent ball than it did In 1907 or 1906, or 1905, for that matter.
 The team has never been considered a first division probability for this season, as the stuff was not there to land 1t ahead of any one of the four leading clubs. This was true of the pitching staff especially. Without high class work on the rubber there is no chance in these days to finish very high up, and the simple fact is that the Reds have not the high quality that is needed. In addition to this, the club has had unusually tough luck in the illness of its most experienced pitch CTS. Bob Ewing, a very effective worker against every club in the league when he is right, has been incapacitated three separate times by sickness, while Andy Coakley has not been himself at any time during the past six weeks.
 In spite of these handicaps, Manager Ganzel has kept the club at a fighting pitch and set an excellent example by his own fine playing of his position. Big John has been perfectly conscientious in every move he has made working stead fly for the best interests of the club. He will be the first one to admit that he has made some mistakes in the hand ling of the club. but, on the whole, his administration has been a very success full one With a comparatively green team, unused to playing together, and without a superlative pitching staff, he

TEAMS SHOOT FOR
 HERRICK TROPHY

Camp Perry, O., August 19.-The Massa- chusetts team led the field today in the shoot for the Herrick trophy, which is being conducted by the Ohio Rifle asso- citation. This prize was put up last year for the first time by ex-Goyernor Herrick of Ohio, and is for 500, 300 and 1000 yards shooting, open to all army and national guard teams.
 Last year the honor was captured by the Ohio National Guard. Today only the 800 and 900 yard ranges were shot. The 1000-yard stage was continued until next Friday morning. This was todays only event, but it brought forth some excellent craftsmanship. Wise and Up- ton of the Massachusetts teams, Winder of Ohio and Mayber of Pennsylvania, made perfect scores on the SOO-yard tar get.
 The ten highest teams at the conclu- sion of the 800 and 900-yard stages, two- thirds of the match, scored as follows;

has had the team in a good position all season, and has made it terror instead of joke to opposing outfits. On the road the crowds that flock to see the Reds even when they are gracing the second division, testify to the popular ity of the team and its reputation for clean-cut performances. Under Manager Ganzel, who is himself playing very effective game at first base, the team has developed into a hustling, hard working aggregation. that will go much further next season than this.
 A good many fans fail to realize that it takes considerable time to develop f1rst-class team. They want immediate action, regardless of circumstances or conditions. They do not take into con sderation, for instance, the difficulties that Manager Gan2el was up against when he took charge of the team last spring, just before the training season opened. There was no time to make any deals or trades, and he had to take just what was handed over to him. He had one regu- lar outfielder Mike Mitchell; one regu- lar infelder, besides himself, namely Mill Ter Huggins, and just two experienced pitchers He had to pick and develop pair of outf1eders, to decide on the best men for shortstop and third base and to make selections from a host of young and 0-o tackled, and he has achieved very good results. He has made mistakes, such as purchasing Brain and Doescher for large sums and letting Tom Mccarthy get away without a thorough trial. But these few errors have been much more than offset by good moves in other directions, and especially by his own example, both on and off the playing field.
 No Cincinnati team of recent years has played such consistently snappy ball as the Reds of 1908, under the leadership of John Ganzel There is every reason to believe that big John will gain even bet ter results next season, with this years experience to go on. He has his inf1eld we'll arranged and capable outffelder for a foundation. His catching staff need not worry him at all. He knows what all the men now with the club can do. and can devote the major part of his attention to the development of two or three good young pitchers. He will start out next year with greater confidence, and the chances are that he will achieve full measure of success.

COTTON STATES LEAGUE
Last Game of Season.

Columbus. Miss, August 19.-(Special) J. A double-header between Jackson and Columbus marked the close of the Cotton States league season here this afternoon. The double-header was divided, the first game which went to 10 innings, having been won by the locals by score of 1 to g. while the score on the second was to in favor of the visitors. Howell, the new pitcher being tried out by Co., lumbus for use next season, worked in the first game, and showed up well. He was q little wild at first, but soon settled down; while Blakeny, who pitched the opening game for Jackson, weakened to- ward the last, and forced in the winning run With one out, in the tenth, Geiser hit safe went to second on Ollre's walk and advanced to third when Corbett vio- lated the Hepburn act. and was forced in when Blakeny gave Hall four bad ones.
 Manager Hall was responsible for the loss of the second game. In the first in- ming he fumbled Ott's easy grounder to second and d few moments later,. when Saillard sent another grass-cutter to the same territory, Hall made a second mis- cue. and Ott scored The locals lost heart. and did not score throughout the entire game In the first game Laroque becam me offended at a remark made by one of the Columbus players, and started to leave the field. There was a close de- cision at second, and when Laroque called Durneyer out one of the local players told him he was giving Jackson the game Laroque went to the dressing room to get his shoes, and was pre- pairing to catch the next car for the city, when the offending player told him that he was only testing, and the umpire re- turned to the fleld

 The Barons, on their last visit to the home of the Volunteers, managed to break even in four games, and Manager Molesworth intends winning majority of the games to be played at West End.
 Nashville has done exceedingly fine work in the eastern cities already visited on the present trip. In Atlanta the Vol unteers copped three out of four games, and in Montgomery won two in three with complete ease.

 While the Barons and the fans of Bir- mingham would be happy Should Nash vile win the rag, the Volunteers will have to play ball in Birmingham.
 Bauer and Ford will probably pitch the games this afternoon, while 1t is prob- able that Manager Bernhard will com mission Southpaw Hunter and Johnny Duggan, both of whom are considered top-notchers.
 It is probable that five games will be played against the Volunteers. After this series the Barons go into the west for the last time this season.

Pitcher Keith Or BYi1ish
 As True Blue Sp0Ytsmen

Charley Keith, the long, lank, lan- guid lop sided southpaw, who played with the Little Rock baseball team last year, is back in America now and pitching ball for the St. Louis Browns.
 Keith won the Rhodes scholarship from Arkansas, and spent last winter at Oxford He was a good student in the University of Arkansas and had full filled the other requirement. for that coveted prize-he had been good at athletics. That he was a professional did not cut much figure in Arkansas. But it looked as though it might in England, where they bow down to ann ateurism and are, inclined to discard an athlete because he was to do 'vulgah work for his beastly Twin. But not so, according to Charles. List to his tale, as told to St. Louis newspaper man:
 'I am attach ed to Exeter college Ox- ford" said the tall young pitcher. "It is the third college in point of age in the university, in which there are 2l colleges, all told. I have been told that Americans were not popular at Exeter. have not found this to be fact.
 q went to Oxford knowing nothing of England or of English men, their habits, prejudices, manners or customs. I fancy that I was very green young man. But I found civil welcome everywhere. I was not worshiped be- cause I happened to be an American. but I was accorded cordial and oaptl, Urea tment by everyone.
 T knew nothing of their clubs, so- cieties, sports, etc. But when I showed some slight aptitude for Rugby foot ball I made my college team at once, and got the most courteous sort of treatment.
 English Feel Superiority.
 "Of course, I noticed the Englishmen feel that England is the greatest na- tion in the world. Indeed, they cooly accept it as established fact which they do not expect anyone to dispute. You know that Americans have a pretty good opinion of these United States. So the patronizing attitude of MT. Englishman irks you unless yon remember that he does not know it all, anu ONeTlOOh lllS lHSuldT SHOTdnce Wltn a smile. Still, I believe Englishmen who come to America find that we brag a bit ourselves So l fancy that Amer jeans in England are better off than English men in America, so far as that goes.
 English Good Sportsmen. Personally l have found the English good sportsmen, among each other at col lege. To be sure, my experience is totally confined to college life.
 ''It is all a matter of personality Some of the Rhodes scholars quit Oxford, claim ing discrimination against Americans. One of them left Queens college a short time ago, gave up his scholarship and went home, alleging unfair treatment l found it quite otherwise. All the college heads seemed to think a lot of the Rhodes scholars in Oxford

Lew Walters was back in the game yes- | terday and played in his usual form at ] the keystone. It has been so long since i Lew made an error that the oldest fan i cant remember 1t.
 Butler sprung into the limelight yester- day afternoon. In the ninth inning, with two men on bases, he smashed one of Guese's blenders for home run. The poor Sleepers were dumbfounded.
 Robertaille is perhaps the best hitting pitcher of the league He seldom goes through a game without singling, and he has won several struggles this season by timely walloping the spheroid.
 Bill AK says the fans in Atlanta are exceedingly sore. It is now probable that Atlanta will not conclude the season as high as the Barons in the year im- medistely following the winning of the penrant.
 Bobertaille won his 18th game yesterday and is now at the 5oo mark. The great CT portion of his last b games was blessed with victory. Robinson and Fle- harty are the other Baron pitchers at the even mark.
 While New Orleans has remained quies- cent two days, the Volunteers, by slam ming the waddng out of the Montgom- cry Sleepers. regained the lead and es- tablished neat margin, considering the bitterness of the struggle.
 Local fans will regret the fact that Bill Bernhard pitched yesterday. Every one here wanted to see the veteran twirl this season, but the chances are against them. Still, in case five games are played he at
