HERMANN ADMITS
He IS TRYING TO

Cincinnati President Says,
However, He Doubts Abil-

but Just what II is ] cannot say at this
time. The reason for not making it
public is evident-the trade is not and
may not become an accomplished fact"
That is what August Hermann said to-
day when asked about the many stories
OF trades, deals, new managers, or other
changes in ball club affairs.
Asked about the effort to get Knahe,
the Philadelphia second baseman, Mr..
Hermann said.
Il don't think there is one chance in
ten"
He would not commit himself further
on that phase of the plans for the team,
but he said quite emphatically that the
proposed three -coraered trade between
Boston, philadelphia, and Cincinnati is
unfounded for at least one good reason.
We tried in every way to get
sweeney, the Boston second baseman,
and could not" said the Rod president.
We wanted him for the Cincinnati
team. not for trading purposes, and II
It were possible to get the player we
would keep him. AS to the latest re-
ytVal of the story that Konetchy and
Huggins are to be members of the team,
nothing in It,"
The most significant feature Of Mr..
Herrmann's statement Is that an effort
Is on to bring about a change in the
affairs of the ill-fated Reds and there
Is reason to believe that it is likely also
to mean change in management. How
ever. the latter proposition Is not so
likely as the first, that some new faces
are to be seen on the team. The question
of whether O'Day is to be dispIace ed
depends largly upon what kind of a
deal is made; players who are to come
TO the team may be men not qualified
for managership yet men who would

CHICAGO, Aug. l3.-In a statement
issued today, Charles W. Murphy,
president Of the Chicago club in the
National League, charged that the
New York team would not win the Ma

day, which stated that Roger Bresna-

York club providing the Giants won
the championship. In his statement Mr..
Murphy says in part:
Il am surprised to see Bresnahan's
name connected with such an enter
prise. 1t looked at first like a simple
and harmless plan to pick up a little
easy money, and. so far as l know,
there had been no opposition to it.
But when they incorporate, become
a stock selling possibility. and use the
name of such men as Bresnahan-man-

they will win it-without the undue as
