Manager and Owner ir
Tangle Over Disposal of
Southpaw Pitcher
and Owner Wins.

Another baseball tangle. this one
wholly within the ranks of organized
ball. came TO light yesterday when
Garry Hermann, owner OF the Cincin-
natl Reds, made the announcement that
Rube Benton, the Reds star southpaw,
who has been under suspension by
Charley Herzog, was the property of
the Giants and would report 10 the
Giants Immediately. According TO sd-
vices emanating from Pittsburgh on
Saturday, Benton had been sold TO the
Pirates and was ready TO join the
Pirates yesterday.
With Herrmann's announcement that
Benton was the Giants property, the
whole puzzle was made clear. SIEVE. al
DAYS ago John McGraw, learning that
Benton was on the market, got an OPP
ton on the star southpaw's services for
a consideration which is not stated.
This option was 70 expire on Monday,
August Is, and bore the signature Of
Hermann as binding the Cincinnati
club. For some reason best known to
himself, Herzog sold Benton to the
Pittsburgh club. II is more than prob
able that Herzog was not informed of
the option held by McGraw, inasmuch
as Benton and the Reds manager have
been unable 70 agree, and the subject
was one which Hermann hesitated to
bring up with his manager.
But the announcement OF Benton's

Providence, r. l., Aug. 15.-In a slow
and uninteresting game Jersey City
defeated Providence to-day by score
of 6 to 5. The Shelters took the lead
early and were never headed.
Eayrs was on the mound for the
Grays at the start. but he was as wild
as a hawk ana was taken out in the
second inning, Cooper then taking up
the twirling.
Crutcher also was taken out in the
sixth inning on account of wildness
after the Grays had come within one
of tieing the score.
Ralph Comstock, the pitcher who
was sold to Cincinnati, has refused TO
report to that club. He demanded part
Of the purchase money, and when re-
fused signed with the Federals.
The score follows:
