young man from Georgia, with $3.50, as

Cobb leads the American League at

HERz0C QUITS BOSTON
TEAM AND GOES HOME
Says Nobody Is Going to
Weld CzarIike Authority
Over Him Any More.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, July 17.-Boston fans have
scarcely recovered their breath from
the shock given them by the announce
ment that Buck Herzog and Doc Miller
had quit the Boston National League
base ball team. Both of these PLAYERS
are crack ones, and they, with Bill
Sweeney. have kept the team from drop-
ping completely out of the league
Herzog is by far the leader of the pair.
He is one of the heaviest batters in the
National League. and has hammered out
more triples and doubles than his COM
petitors. AS base stealer he enjoys a
national reputation. He has become dis
gusted, however, with the treatment ac-
corded him.
Herzog declared today that he is going
back to his Maryland home, where no
one will WELD any czarlike authority
over him. He has a farm at Ridgely,
and is convinced that it is the finest
place in all the world. When asked if
he really intended quitting the diamond,
he murmured: You should see my
farm at Ridgely. Then such questions
would be unnecessary
It is generally credited that Buck
will hike back to the farm. He shines
as player. and regrets having to play
with a losing team. If he really quits
and can unite himself from Boston, he
probably will be gobbled up by any one
of a half dozen big league teams
Herzog complains that he was fined
$500 or fifteen days pay for Indifferent
ball playing in New York recently. He
says that the fine was to be RENTED if
he played better ball, but. notwithstand-
ing he has since done his best. nothing

moralizing to the Athletics. Never has
a Detroit team made an attack more
vicious or nearly as much of the Whrl-
wind order. 1t was this base circling,
this taking of desperate chances and get
ting away with them that played the Ath-
letics off their feet. They forced Ira
Thomas out of the game. and they made
T.app appear like a South Michigan
Lacquer.
The effect that the work of the Tigers
on the bases had on the catchers of
Mack's team was responsible in large
way for the wildness displayed by Phila-
delphias pitchers. 1t was not high
pitching mound, but it was nerve-wreck-
ing base running that made the Athletics
catchers. Thomas and Lapp, unfit to hold
up the pitchers in the games played.
Mack is today having some of the trou-
BILE that Hughie Jennings has faced many
times-Mack is without capable pitchers.
Plank. Coombs. Morgan. Bender and
krause are not in top form The Ath-
letics dropped two out of four games to
the Maps and Saturday they opened in st.
Louis. while Detroit played with the Bos-
ton Red Sox.
Boston Is Here.
Boston should not prove difficult for
Detroit, and St. Louis should make little
trouble for Philadelphia, but after that
both teams will be up against a tough
proposition. Detroit will get New York
and Philadelphia will have to tackle Chi
cago. In Detroits last series with the
Highlanders, Chase's men beat the Tigers
three games in row. Detroit will prob
ably have Fisher, Vaughn and Ford to
face. The White Sox are going at top
speed, and Walsh White and a few
other pitchers on Comiskey's pay roll are
raising Cain.
Jennings men will have a harder fight
on hand when they meet New York than
they had in playing Philadelphia, and the
Athletics will not find a cut-and dried af-
fair in Chicago. The White Sox are the
toughest team in the west for Philadel-
phia outside of Detroit.
In the series that closed Friday Jen-
nings' pitchers did large and creditable
work. Hughie worked his men in the
right order. and his selections and
changes were made with high wisdom
He made one bold stroke when he sent
Covington in. but that young man from
Texas repaid Jennings trust
With the team playing the defensive
game they did in the series with the
Athletics, and with the pitchers working
the way they have been, and seeing the
sort Of hitting and base running that Jen-
nings' men have pulled off, they look this
day like team superior to any In the
country. No team could have stopped
them In the last four days.

DETROIT. July 17.-Detroit and Phila-
delphia have played eleven games this
year, and Detroit has won seven OF them
Since coming west tha Athletics have
made good what was predicted for them
nearly two weeks ago-they have won
two out of their first eight games.
The Tigers took four in a row from the
Athletics because they fielded as well,
hit much better. thought faster. worked
quicker on the bases and played behind
better pitching than Philadelphia pro-
duced.
Connie Mack used the best he had in
the pitching line. In the first game, with
a six-run lead, the Athletics lost because
Detroit got to Coombs. batted him out Of
the box and slammed out a victory over
Plank. In the second game 1t took the

the bases was stupid to an extreme.
Iii none of the games played here DID
the Athletics show any ability on The
paths.
They Need Collins.
They miss Eddie Collins, but at the
same time the Tigers miss Del Gainor.
Both teams being without one of their
star players, the comparison comes
near a fair stage. Gainor is not as
highly valued to the Detroit team as
Collins is to the Athletics but he is in
valuable.
Outside of Collins, the Athletics did not
show a man who stood out in the series.
Besides the pitchers, Detroit had a list of
real heroes. Little DOME Bush Tyrus
Cobb, Jim Delehanty, Oscar Stanage and
Davey Jones played the Athletics off
their feet. Man for man, the Tigers were
