The rules of base ball are very clear on
the point in question. Garry Hermann.

deal The president of club is the Only
one authorized to represent club IN such

could he make the deal for Herzoc and
Hartley? The fol owing is the asreemeut
and il would seem no easy matter To re-

Giants won out in the tenth.
The second guessers" were loud in
their denunciation of the Athletics great
manager. after the game was over,
charging that he should have used a
couple Of pinch hitters.
A peruSal of the series shows that Nc
Graw, too, might have been criticised
for failing to use good judgment. What
would have been the outcome OF the series
if McGraw had ordered his pitchers to
walk Walter Schang every time he came
up? one thing Is certain, that it would
have he'd the Athletics to seven less runs.
FOR 1t was this number Of tallies that
ScIalg drove home in three of the four
games he caught AGAINST the Giants.
But how was NcGraw TO guess that
Sehang possessed such rema rkaoie pinch
hitting ability? And yet the second guess
ers Won have scored him had they
realized what an important part Schang
played in the defeat Of the Giants.
If the National League should allow the
Cincinnati club TO repudiate the agree
ment with Brooklyn covering the sale OF
Tinker ii would establish a daneerous

the players to their clubs and have been

On account of the almost complete
failure of the apple crop the cider
mill in Bennington will not open for
business this year. 1t is thought
that there has not been such local
scarcity of apples in hundred
years. The shortage is attributed to
severe frosts at the time the trees
were in full bloom. The Hamlin
cider mill. the largest in Bennington,
started 50 years ago. and there has
been no one year during the time
that at least 500 barrels of cider
have not been turned out though
there have been some pretty lean
years during the time.
