GARRY HERMANN
l.. IN BAD PLACE
Baseball World Blarnes Red
Owners For Many Fig
zles at Cincinnati.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Repudiation by
the directors of the Cincinnati club OF
the agreement signed by Garry Herr
mann. president of the club, to sell
Joe Tinker to the Brooklyn club OF
the, National league for $4,000, has
tremely unpleasant position. Through
the action of the Cincinnati board OF
directors he stands ~discredited in
baseball circles. The reputation OF
an agreement made and signed in
good faith is a ticklish thing in base
ball. particularly when the chairman
of the national commission-"chief
justice of the supreme u Of base
ball"-is involved.
Friends of Hermann all over the
country are coming to his rescue,
however. and the Tinker incident bids
fair to uncover, before it is finished,
the conditions which have been re-
sponsible in recent years for Cincin-
MATHS poor standing in baseball.
Has Bans Faith.
President Johnson of the American
league. q colleague of Herrmann:s OH
the commission. expressed his firm be
lief in the Cincinnati club presidents
good faith in the Tinker matter.
I'm many years experience and as
s%ociation with Mr.. Hermann in base
ball ] have found him absolutely on
the level" said Mr.. Johnson, and al
ways a man of his word. l believe he
made the agreement with Brooklyn in
good faith, and if he did so he will see
that the agreement is carried out III
good faith, or he will protest the
Brooklyn club even at his own per-
sonal expense. He has been placed
IN a bad fix wholly without fault on
his own part. and / feel it is only q
matter of justice to him to make this
statement"
Manager Griffith of the Washington
team who tried to cope with the stu.
alton in Cincinnati for three years and
knows all about it, came to Herr.
mann's rescue with the following in.
terview:
Blamcs tho Owners.
Garry Hermann is the most un-
justly abused man in baseball. Every
one holds him responsible for the
many failures in Cincinnati, but the
directors and stockholders have caus-
ed all the trouble. Hermann knows
baseball and he knows that a man.
handicapped by officials. who overrule
him. While I was manager there
Hermann never overruled me.
"But / had to buck against what
every manager Of the team has had
to buck. That's the interference OF
the F1eischmans. who control the
stock. They don't know a thing about
inside baseball, but imagine they do,
and they wan to run the club. want
to run Hermann, and want to run
the manager. That's the Cincinnati
situation in a peacanshell, and I CUES
ought to know"

isolation DOES
NOT WORRY HUFF
He is Willing to Sit in the
Grandstand During Base
Ball Contests.
BY Farren

urbana, H.. Dec. 1S.-George A.
Huff. premier conference baseball
coach and winner of innumerable
championships, is willing to desert
the bench and sit in the grand stand
at baseball games If the conference
passes such a rule. An interview ia
voring the isolation Of baseball coach
es by Dean Small of Chicago. caused
much comment here. Dean Small
was quoted as declaring that the use
of signals by bench coaches robbed
teams Of initiative.
i take a grand stand seat all
right" Coach Huff said. THE larg-.
est number of signals I ever had in a
a was three. Generally l have
only one. This is all a Joke about
running teams by signaling every play
from the bench. The good teams in
n big league or colleges don't try it.
1t Is a delusion fostered by some of
the magazines baseball writers.
Anyway. the spirit of baseball and
the rules are In no way opposed to
bench coaching, while in football
coaching is prohibited. 1t is. more
coaches, l believe. But l note that
Dean Small is not firm about their en-
clusion."
Illinois fan are not so ready to
yank Huff off the bench. They be-
lieve that Illinois has q big advant-
age in his general advice and coach
ing and the idea is not popular.
Huff also denied enlphatically that
Illinois intended to sever football re-
iations with Purdue BECAUSE of an al
legged penchant for dirty football
by the Lafayette institution. D
There Is absolutely nothing to sucl,
a report" HUFF said..- "Purdue's foot
ball cam did not play dirty foot
ball against Illinois this year. 1t is
true that Oliphant' of Purdue was
elected from the game. and justly, bu,
that was only an individual and ex-
ceptionable case I watched the game
closely and had not criticism to make
OF Purdue's spirit. What criticism |
made of tactics by certain teams was
made earlier and was not caused BY
the Purdue-Illinois game"

the brush will probably have. to come
much earlier than in previous years.
The two crews have been accustomed
to meet the latter part of May.
The selection of May 20 for the

has at last yielded to the crimson's
wishes for a much earlier date. Man.
ager Aspinwall. however. stated the
date had not been definitely. fixed,
but admitted that it looked as though
Harvar might meet Cornell earlier
than in the past.
Coach James S. Wray when asked
regarding the Cornell a said that
the matter was entirely up to the
Harvard rowing committee.
Undergraduates and alumni alike
would like to see a Harvard Columbia

back but whether his trip here was
for business or pleasure has neve,
