SPORTING NEWS
HAS STORY OF HERR

The current Sporting News has a
story that deals with Eddie Herr, for
merly manager of the Hannibal club,
which will prove interesting. The
yarn follows:
THAT job we had carrying Lock
head back to town makes me think of
a thing that happened to Eddie Herr,
when he was managing Flint in the
Southern Michigan league in 1910. I
know it's true, because l stopped off
there on scouting trip and saw it.
Herr used to put on uniform and get
on the coaching lines. but, of course,
he didn't play, for he was as fat as
the lady in the sideshow.
This day the umpire gave a close
decision against Flint and Herr jump
ed up from the bench and started on
a run for his jumps to give him call
down. Just as he got to third base
he was taken with cramp in his leg.
fell down and couldn't get up. Five
men had to carry him to the club
house. Eddie was awful sore, not be.
cause Of the laughs from the crowds,
he said, but because he couldn't give
the umpire call down when he had
it coming to him."
