RAWLINGS BLOCKS A DEAL.

Cincinnati Ohio. Aug. 1.-Inhelder Raw
lings has blocked the deal whereby Man
aEer Charley Herzoig, of the Reds, had
hoped to bolster up his outfield.' Raw
lings was released to Minneapolis, of the
American Association, in part payment
for Wade (''Red'D Willher. who was a
member of both the Detroit and Wash
ington American League clubs several
years ago. Instead Of reporting to Min
neapolis, as he had been instructed to
do. Rawlings entered into negotiations
Fvith the Federal League, and on Satur-
day signed to play with the st. Louis
team, of the independent league. The Kill

cinnati can get Rawlings back or turn
over another inielder for him.

AS we are breeding better and more
scientifically than we were in the early
years Of the ight-harness horse industry,
It Is possible we are overcoming inherent
defects that existed in the breed. As q

nearer we get to the type of the perfect
