HANDBALL PUTS BIG

Handball is becoming one OF the
most important features of the new
era of scientific training of baseball
clubs. Players in training camps for

ball has become the favorite.
The Detroit club at GulfpOrt and

Charlie Herzog's training methods are
the most interesting of those Of any

Herzog has the best ideas. the best
methods of getting work out Of play

He has not the strongest team in
the league by far. He has the rem

From this material HerZoG is striV-

he claims is that his team will be

Hard work is the basis of all sue

else. Herzog startled the Reds by
insisting upon work. He works the
Reds six hours a day of actual prac-
tfce, he drives them steadily, watches
them on and off the field. and he
knows everything that is going on in
the team.
Herzog started by realizing that
either he or the players would be
bosses. He knew that the Cincinnati
players have for years been running
managers. He went after the old
players hard. He drove them even
harder than he drove the youngsters.
They felt aggrieved and hurt and they
complained. The satisfaction that
they got was being driven harder and
harder. No alibis went
He had no sympathies for sore arms
or tired legs. If they told him their
arms were tired. he sent them into
pitch four innings If they complained

They buried her as best they could,

Robert A.

He went from the meeting to Cleveland, where he was an interested spectator of the shows. which have been engaged for the State fair in Birmingham during De- tober. MT. Brown Is we'll pleased with the contracts that have been made by the fair association.
 He said yesterday that there never has been in the south such an aggregation of clean, interesting and delightful shows as will be provided this year for the midway of the fair He said that one act, that of diving men and women, was easily worth the admission to the fair.
 T was shown in Cleveland the shows which will be brought here" said MT. Brown. "They are every one clean and interesting. l witnessed the performance of the diving act and 1t is extremely thrilling. One man dives over 150 feet into a pool of water seven feet deep, and it Is undoubtedly the most spectacular act oi its kind ever brought south. There are a number of other shows that we have se- cured which are interesting, instructive and up to date. The management of the shows assured me that their very best performance would be sent here. From the outlook l can assure the people of this state that no fair of the past has ever been featured with such shows as will be provided for the forthcoming one. The band we have secured is undeniably one of the greatest attractions ever se- cured for our fair
 MT. Brown said the meeting of insur- ance agents was more or less of routine character, but was of great interest to the agents who attended. He did not have ! anything to say about the local increase | in insurance rates.
