League and the president of the National League
selected a man who was president of one of the
National League clubs, and upon whom to
devolve the duty of deciding questions that might
be of vital Importance to his own club. That he
has fulfilled these duties honestly and in the most
upright and with absolute fairness is
evidenced by the fact that for ten years he has
been reelected to that position A few years ago
after a strenuous fight, the National Bowling
Tournament was held in Cincinnati, and the local
association, requiring executive head to
age this most important meeting, placed Gary"
Hermann in charge Under his able manage
ment the tournament a success and so
greatly impressed were bowlers from all over
the United States with Gary" Herrmann's per-
sonality that he was chosen president of the
national body. These, however, were not the
only national honors conferred upon him, for
that powerful order, the Elks, made him their
Grand Exalted Ruler. In his own city he has
held many positions of trust and was acknowl-
edged by national experts to be of the best
posted men in the United States in municipal
matters During the construction of the Gin
cinnat Water Works he president of the
board in charge, from the start to the compile
ton, and impartial government engineer pro-
nounced this undertaking to be one of the best
and mosteconomically constructed water works
systems in the world.
Ban Johnson's rise in the baseball world was
not as meteoric as Gary" Herrmanns, but no
man in the baseball world has accomplished

to tackle Yet, step by step, with tireless energy
aided by few loyal men, whose confidence and
esteem he had won through an intimate knowl-
edge of his great ability, he not only established
the American League but placed it on an equal
basis before the American public with the Ma
tonal League.
Ban Johnson's ascendency in the baseball
world the result of slow evolution, while
Gary" Hermann leaped into prominence almost
in a day. A number of prominent Cincinnati
men, attending business meeting in 1908, all
lovers of baseball, were bemoaning the fact of
the alien ownership of the Cincinnati club, for
John T. Brush, of Indianapolis was its owner.
"Why don't some Cincinnati people buy the
club?" asked one.
"Probably because Mr.. Brush wants too much
money for it to be good investment" was the
answer.
"How much does he want?" This question
could not be answered.
That coterie comprised not only men of
wealth, but men who loved their native city, and
it then and there determined to buy the
Cincinnati club irregardess of its income-earning
value, but simply to bring the ownership home.
The price paid large one for those days,
and Gary" Hermann became its president
There was a merry war on at that time between
the National and American Leagues war which
involved all the minor leagues and the evil effect
it was having, both financially and otherwise,
was only too apparent to him. Some immediate
steps must be taken to avert these evils. The
result was the National Commission.

almost startlingly unique. When this commission
established it was to consist of three men,

the president of the American League, and these
two members were to meet and choose the third.
1t can be readily seen how much power lay in
the hands of this third member and how great
to be his influence over the destinies of

American League, the two great, powerful con-
tenders in the baseball world struggling to gain

other through Harry P. Pulliam, decided that the

Boy COMMITTED To
INDUSTRIAL HOME
ENDS THE PROCEEDINGS WHICH
GREW FROM THE KIDNAPPING
CHARGE AGAINST DENARO.

At a preliminary hearing held yes
terday morning Justice of the Peace
Robertson bound Tom Denaro over to
the grand jury on the charge Of kid
naping his stepson from Lila Bright,
who had once been known as Mrs.
Denaro, bond Of $500 being furnished.
1t is understood, however, that the
case will eventually be nolle pressed,
as the woman had no legal or moral
right to the custody of the boy who
has been known as Joseph Denaro
At hearing before Judge Dart in
the Ordinary's court in the afternoon
on the question of guardianship, tes-
timony was introduced showing that
Denaro and the woman had lived to-
gether for II years without the for
mality Of a marriage, a fact which
counted against Denaro in the pro-
ceedings, the woman's present mode
OF life eliminating her from any con-
slderation and the boy was committed
TO the industrial home at Macon
Before rendering his decision Judge
Dart said that he believed in giving
every boy a chance, that he should
have the benefit of home influences
and surroundings which neither party
to the proceedings offered in the past,
or could now offer, and he thought it
to the best interests of the boy to
commit him to the industrial home
where he at least would receive an
education and a fair start in life.
Joseph, bright, handsome young
ster Of 13 years, expressed a decided
tondness for Denaro, who has always
treated him kindly and cared for him
to the best Of his ability, at the same
time the little fellow said he twas
glad ne was going where he could
get an education and make something
of himself when he got to be man.

In WaycrCss yesterday before Spe-

the attorneys ana reserved his deci-
sion.
The company shortly after petit
tion in bankruptcy was filed by va
rious creditors, admitted its insolyen-
cy, but some of the. creditors are now
llShtlng to prevent a bankruptcy pro

600, while the liabilities we're $4,000.
The case has attracted much inter

showing that he mad wired her to

Sheriff to Go.
Sheriff Berrie stated last night that
he would probably leave for New Or
leans for the prisoner today. He stat
ed, however, that owing to the condi-
tion OF Davis, he did not know wheth-
er or not it would be advisable to go
for him just at this time. He is await
ing further information from the hos
pital physician at New Orleans. If
he is assured that Davis rs able to
make the trip, then he will probably
leave tonight
Davis is not known. His attorney, in
the face of the confession of the
brother, may make application for
the release of his client on bond.
Nothing will be done, however, until
the full particulars about the confes-
sion are secured
Albert Davis is 80 years old, and,
according to all reports, he is rather
a bad man, having been implicaed in
two or three serious scrapes. AS a
motive for the murder, it is believed
that the murdered woman knew of a
crime which he committed. One of
the witnesses during the recent trial
stated that Albert Davis had told her
that he had murdered two people in
Florida ard that Mrs. Mary Davis
knew of it and had threatened to turn
him up and that he had threatened
her life. This is supposed to have
been his motive for numbering her.
