Bronx Youth
VIII Play Short
for York Team

Up IN the Bronx the baseball enthusi-
asts are throwing UP their hats and
shouting IN loud tones over the prospects
of Arthur Herman, a little fellow of
seventeen. who has just received a on
tract from York CPa.) team. and who Is
expected to be a second Willie Keller.
John MoGraw, Miller Higgins or any
Of those stars OF small stature.
Young Herman win play shortstop IN
the York team. and up Bronx way they
say he can play II up TO the handle n
hen some. Herrman's only handicap Is
that he Is very small. He weighs less
than 100 pounds. but as he Is only seven
teen no has plenty OF time to take on
weight. At any rate he is as heavy as
McGraw. Keller. Higgins or any OF
those little fellows were when they
started out. -
Herman played on one of the
semi-professional teams in Westminster
County last summer. and the scouts who
discovered him say that. despite his
size. he was the best inielder outside
Of the professional rank In this part OF
| the country. Anyway the manage Of
the York team decided to lake a chance
and the baseball FAM Of the Bronx are
happy. They have already written to
McGraw n Hal Chase asking tina,
scout be kept on the lookout to see
what this younsster does. Last summer
! he hit over $50 In the thirty gamss rhat
no played.

Referee Helps
Mercury Footers
to Win at HOckeu

The New York Athletic seven isn't
out Of the race for he championship In
the amateur hockey league by any
means. Judging by the way they routed
the Hockey Club by . score Of 6 to I in
their game at st. Nicholas Rink.
In the frst half the Mercury Footsrs
were allowed a goal hat didn't look
Just right. as at the time one OF their
players appeared to be off side. This
made the Hockey Club players wild.
Al the start OF the second half the
Hockey Club players made a goal on q
similar player. but the referee didn't
allow II and 1t Is hard to imagine the
manner In which the unlucky players
raved.
After the ruling was made against
them. the Hockey Club players lost
heart and the New York A. c. puck
chasers romped home easy winners.
Reinmund, the centre on the winnins
side. was the star Of the game. scoring
no less than four OF the seven goals
made by his team.

BOSTON. Mass. Jan. 25.-Manager
Fred Tenney Of the Boston Nationals
will have free rein TO do as ne sees
Mt in the duties his title implies. ac-

This comes as a direct result OF the
howl that went up all over baseball

Boston for Shafer of the Giants.
After a protracted and perhaps heated
session Of the Boston National Board o.
Directors, Il was settled that in future
Tenney will not be interfered with In re-
gard 10 all deals. purchases or exchanges
he may wish to make. and that hereaf-
ter any trade OF any kind that he may

Of ye world meant some food for ye

He was bright boy, this, and he
made money; not very much, but suf-
fcient. He kept to hymself. and as
consequence he did not let hys
family know all that he earned. BY
and by he had saved up some money,
and he entered Punahou School. He
did not let up on hys work at all;
In fact, he got up little earlier and
worked little harder.

through for the last few years told

would find some money. There, put
away for rainy day. she found
twenty-five dollars that he had saved,

had been struggling. She sent for
we doctor, but 1t was too late: the
boys system was too much run down
and he died.
