Mike Donaldson. citizen of the wide,

ner CT the late Stanley ketchel, with
Larry Desmond. of Brooklyn, who
comes to the front today with an answer
to- the various challenges that have been
sent cut by Donaldson.
Al McMurray. manager of Desmond,
writes the following letter:
Sporting Editor:
Il see in your local issues thai one
Mike Donaldson is challenging any
boxer in the country to meet him for
the middleweight title Of the South.
Now, if Mr.. Donaldson is sincere in his
I would be pleased to ac-
cept his offer on behalf OF Larry Des-
mond, the Brooklyn welterweight. and
Mr.. Donaldson can name his own terms
in the splitting OF the purse.
Desmond is a newcomer in the busi-
ness and has been under my manage
nent for only six months, but in that
time he has demonstrated to many box
ers that he is the real goods His most
notable bouts are the knocking out OF
Irish Jack Smith. champion of the
United States navy, in five rounds; Ed
die Carroll in three rounds. and his two
defeats of Bull Anderson, considered
the toughest middleweight In Brooklyn.
II have sent to your city Andy Cor
tez and frankie Nelson. Both OF these
boys made good. AS i am not a dealer

find Desmond the fastest boy at his
weight you have ever seen.

never let it break up any club of his.
But you can beat II. save in exceptional
cases. And the way TO beat 1t IS to
keep on hustling and lighting all the
harder. When the break goes. against
'yOu-turn and go against the break just
little more. And the point above
everything else is not to let a little
bad luck break your spirit or get your
goat. Bad luck wouldn't be one-fourth
as bad II ball players would only for
get 1t and take the game as It comes.
We've followed this system on the Reds
this year. We've been too busy playing
>all the baseball we knew how to play
to start crying about hard luck Losing
five good men from a seventh-place
club is certainly an excuse to start Of
fering an alibi-but I could never see
that an alfbi made any great improve
ment in the box score or the standing
Of the clubs. And that's the target We
are shooting at
Judging strictly from the above it is
no wonder now that Herzog has been
the sensation of the year. Eliminating
the alibi was q big start The process
of keeping his people in their hustling

1t Is easy TO see why the Reds. with

But the club with chance to get UP
there and stay must learn to meet for

veloped the habit OF fighting hard when

club can learn how to keep on fighting
regardless of the break, It will never

BINGLES AND BUNTS
By GRANTLAND RICE.

At first glance there appears to be
touch of magic in the story of
Buck Herzog and his Rediand troop
crs, a touch of magic linked with
miracle.
Here we have 4 young manager
the youngest in notwithstanding
his first season at the helm. Under
his charge is the youngest ball team
in the big league game. He is hand
ed a club that was backed by thirty
one years tradition of defeat and
disorganiZation. A club that finally
struck the uttermost rocks last sea-
son and club that even such a wise
baseball PLAYER as ice Tinker found
far beyond his control.
From this club was taken Tinker,
who was supplanted by Herzog. The
shift brought on the loss of Bescher
to the Giants. And from this demor-
allied machine the Fed raid carried
five more-Johnson, Hartley. Packard.
Wickland. and Marsans. The Reds
lost more to the Feds than any other
single club.
Hero we have a seventh place club
raided and looted and further broken
up-and then put in charge ~ q deb
utante manager And the answer is
land years there Is Cincinnati club
within striking distance of the top
around the edge Of midsummer.
A number of bizarre turns can de-
velop in baseball. but such an achieve
ment as the above seems to bc beyond
all past performance or future dream.
And yet the miracle part is simple
enough. Herzog has not only i'm
pressed his club with the idea that
baseball is business and a profess
sion. He has impressed it with the
fact that one factor alone can keep
any club up in the game-and that
factor is to get out there and hustle
And TO hustle all the time-tO max" a
habit of hustling. regardless OF the
score or the inning.
But there is still another important
feature he has developed. We nave
always Contended that IN the main
luck breaks about even through l54
games. The difference is merely in
the way clubs accept rough fortune
Most of them curl up and quit after a

Herzog. II figure that III get exactly

DETROIT. Mich. June 2o.-Morning

manently discontinued. according 10 the

Griffith has always been a strong be-
lever in working his men hard. but he

While base running has always been
the forte of the Nationals. the club has
lost at least two games-one at St Louie

Those looking for excuses for the
mediocre work in the St. Louis series
ing the weather. but at Chicago and
Cleveland no one could find fault with
the conditions. The weather has not
only been balmy but bracing and cal

Is in a ball player.
Then Cleveland. the sixth city in the
nation In the matter Of population. sup
ports a major league ball club by an
average attendance OF less than 1,500.
IL is no wonder that baseball men are
beginning to awaken to the fact that
1914 Is one Of the poorest years since
the expansion of the American League.
John Henry has found q new and
novel way to keep his pitchers awake
and punish them for crossing his sig
nails. whenever any of the young
twirlers do anything displeasing to the
dean OF the receivers. he slams the ball
back to them so hard and fast that
they receive a sting that conveys to
them more forcibly than words his dis
gust for their lack Of Judgment.
In the Cleveland game Henry fairly
burned the fms on Joe Boehling. who
did not always follow the sign-instruc-
tons of the man behind the mask.
