Star Left-handers Likely to Count Heavily in

doing so good is what is keeping the
Giants on top. Mathewson is unable to
stand the work he used to and Ames Is
an in-and-outer, while Drucke is unre-
liable on account of his wildness. Where
would the Cardinals be If Bresnahan did
not have Sallee. and where would Brook
lyn be II Rucker was not there, and the
same Of Leifield, Of Pittsburg? You
would not see any Of those teams so
high in the percentage columns. That
is why I contend Chance ought to have
at least one left-hand pitcher to use
against New York. Cincinnati, and st.
Louis, because he is going to learn these
are the teams he will have to beat to

Boston, July 16.-Left-handed pitchers
are playing an important part in the
present keen struggle for the leadership
Of the National League. They will do
much toward settling the championship
before the schedule runs out october u.
This is a prediction made by Johnny
Killing. -..
Up to date they have caused sudden
changes in the standing of the first five
clubs. Marquard is doing great stunts
for the Giants; Sallee, Of st. Louis, has
done more for the Cardinals than any
other hurler on Bresnahan's staff, while
Lefty" Leifield has been called into
action when defeat meant dropping a
notch lower in the race, and held Pitts
burg above water.
"BiIr' Burns has helped Philadelphia
considerably, but not as much as he
could If he would exert himself a little
more.
Rucker has set his best record this
reason for number of victories, and is
one twirler who has kept Brooklyn from
occupying last place. Boston has two
left-handers and they are doing first
class work, considering the team they
are with. They are Mattern and Nc
Tigue. Killing predicts that McTigue will
be the leading southpaw in the National
League next season. as he thinks the
youngster has as much speed and STUFF
as Rube Waddell ever had.
Chicago has no portsider on the team,
a fact to be lamented. according to

Boston, July 16.-Charley HerZog,
shortstop, and Doc Miller, right field
er, of the Boston National League base
ball team, went on a strike last night
and declare they will Quit baseball un-
less the management yields to their de-
mands. Herzog is disgruntled because Of
fine of $500 inflicted upon him for al
legged Indifferent playing and Miller re-
fuses to continne>.on the job unless he
gets additional pay. Both men have been
putting up a great game here since the
club returned from its last trip and are
among the leading batsmen in the
league. Manager Tenney refuses to talk
and President Russell. in a statement
made tonight, says he will not trade
Herzog, remit his fine, or raise his pay
In regard to Miller Russell, says he will
trade him. but that he will not yield to
his demands for more money, and that
discipline must be enforced.
From st. Louis Miller wrote to Russell
asking for more money, saying he would
quit the team when II reached Boston
unless his demand was granted Miller
says Russell agreed verbally to give him
a $500 bonus at the end OF the season
When the team was paid of in New
York on July Herzog found In his CASH
less envelope a note from Tenney. saying
q fine OF $500 had been imposed upon him
for Indifferent ball playing, and when
the shortstop made inquiries, Tenney said
that If he played good ball he might
remit the fine.
Yesterday when the pay envelopes were
passed around Herzog found he was stin
$500 out, and believing that he had been
playing good ball during the past two
weeks he decided to quit the game and
return to his farm in Maryland.

Walter Rathbone, the best all-around
athlete ever turned out at Business High
School, goes to Syracuse University next
fall. He will take the regular academic
four-year course, and will be candidate
for the various athletic teams in the three
branches Of sport In which he made a
name for himself in local scholastic DIR
cles.
During,Rathbone's four years at Busi-
ness, he earned his school letter in foot
ball, basketball. and track, and with
the superior coaching which he is bound
TO receive at college. will surely be heard
from before he graduates. Rathbone
played four years on the Business foot
ball team. holding down nearly every
position except quarter back. Hapdi-
capped by a team Of mediocre caliber.

cause quit drinking. Had a bad year
last season because I tried to make a

a chunk of coin; not the money spent
for the suff. but the fines paid for neg

Of pitching burns up a man in hurry.
