.DELAWAREANS
WISH "BUCK"
HERzOC LUCK
Well Known Through Della
ware and Played on SeafOrd
Team Down State
TO SPEND WINTER At
HOME IN RIDGELY

Charley Buck Herzog the ex-Giant,
who is now manager OF the Cincinnati
Reds, passed through Wilmington yes
terday from Baltimore on his way to
his home in Ridgcly, Md, where he will
spend the winter.
Buck is very much a hero today for
his rise in the baseball world has been
mcteoric. As a star ballplayer he has
already made a mark, and his friends
in Delaware wish him all the luck in
the world He realizes his position in
one calling for strenuous effort. As Buck
is hustler he is likely to accomplish a
feat with the Reds where others have
failed.
He is well known throughout Della
ware. as he played on Ridgely, Seaford
and some other teams on the Peninsula,
and also played in Wilmington several
times when he was in the Tri-State
League.
Charley Herzog, better known as
Buck" who will guide the destinies OF
the Redlegs during the season OF 1914,
is % years of age. He will be the or
iginal "Boy Manager" as he is few
months younger than Dode Birmingham,
manager of the Cleveland Maps. He
broke into the National League six
years ago and after playing a few years
with the New York Giants, got into a
row with Manager McGraw and was
traded to the Boston club, where he re-
mained a single season.
AlcGraw realizing the need of man
of Herzog's type and ability, arranged
trade whereby he was brought back
to New York and he has been there ever
since, aiding that club to win flag after
flag.
II was due to his great work that the
Giants made as good fight against the
Boston Red Sox as they did in the world
championship series in 1912.
His work tell far below expectations
in the last worlds series, but he played
consistent. heady game during thc
past National League pennant dash.
Buck got his start in the game play
ing with and managing semi-pro team
in his home town in Maryland. II was
there that he discovered J. Franklin
Baker. the hero of two worlds series.
He gave Baker a Job on his team at SS
game. He is a college graduate with
degree. His regular position is third
base, but he has played shortstop and
saws that he can do as well at the diff
cult position as he can at the near cor
ner.
He IS a fighter or the field, always
making plenty OF noise, scrapping tof
every inch. and always encouraging his
pitcher. It was his ability TO think fast
and to insist or doing his own thinking
that got him in bad with McGraw. He
is Of German descent, although he IS
taken for a Hebrew by most fans.

100000 in
AUTO PRIZES
NEXT YEAR
indianapolis viii Lead With
$5O,OOO Offered to Con-
testing Drivers
MANUFACTURERS GET
BACK INTO THE GAME

The hundred thousand dollars. Of
which indianapolis alone will con-
tribute one-fourth, is to be hung up
for auto racing next year in the
United states, on a conservative
basis. The purses, in the order Of
their Importance are as follows:
Indianapolis, $4,000; Seattle, $780,
OOO Sioux City, $4,000; Vanderbilt
and Grand Prize. $4,000; Los An
geles-Sacramento, Sl4300; Corona,
$1,000; Tacoma. $1O.50O; Santa
Monica and Elgin, $4,000 each; Los
Angeles Phoenix, $9.5OO; El Paso-
Phoenix, $6.4OO, and Galveston, S5,-
600. The grand total is $1977 200. To-
gether with minor events such as the
San Diego road race. and dirt track
meets. the figures of two hundred
thousand will easily be reached.
A recapitulation of the individual
amounts involved shows that the
West. on the whole, will have the
bulge on the East next year. But for
the indianapolis track, the situation
would be rather uncomfortable, as
the Sioux City, Elgin, and Galveston
events, the only ones this side of
the Rockies OF real Importance, save
the five-hundred-mile race, total to-
gether only $4,000 The Hoosier
purse raises this sum TO $4,000. and
with rich accessory prizes boosts It
$4,000 more. or to $4,000. Against
this the West has s1O7 700 to offer in
straight purses, giving it a slight ad-
vantage, at least financially.
In 81
no comparison between Eastern and
Western contests in the eyes Of the
sporting world. The indianapolis
sweepstakes are considered in a class
by themselves. ranking with the
Grand Prix de France and other in
ternational events. The Elgin. like
wise can fairly claim supremacy, hav-
ing now for four consecutive years
been staged successfully on its own
course. But for the tumultuous .vicis-
situdes of the Vanderbilt and Grand
Prize, capped by their lapse last sea-
son, no contests would rank their
superior as matters stand, how
ever, they are shy much prestige.
Santa Monica, on the whole, promises
to be the most popular West coast
classic next season.
A distinctly healthy tendency is
expected to manifest itself under
present conditions through the entry
OF more manufacturers into the game
than have indulge for some time in
the past. With 100000 in prize
money guaranteed by reputable pro-
moters, to reimburse them, and the
unlimited publicity that comes With
a news-creative racing campaign as
extra reward, IL is thought likely
that more firms, both domestic and
foreign, will race in the United States
than ever before. In the consensus
OF the public, the opportunity was
never more ripe for a killing. Two
hundred thousand is thought enough
to set almost anyone in motion.
