Followers of National League
Don't Care What Other Team
COpS-HerzOg, Best All
Around ShOrtStOp.
by Frank 6. SIcnke.

The fans outside OF New York city
continue 10 maintain a neutral at
titude. They don't care which club
wins the National League pennant-
as long as IL isn't the Giants
The Giants aren't popular That's
the penalty than usually comes 20 the
successful. Outside OF New York
the cry always has been: Down with
the Giants"
The Giants are down quite some dis
lance just now The bulk of fans and
the majority OF baseball sharps don't
pennant winners. But John McGraw
says
we aren't beaten yet
A caddy in England surely earns
his pay. Not only must ne spot
the balls. but he has to tee it, clean il
whenever il gets sOiled, switch balls
when the one in use becomes battered
up. and then clean and shine the
clubs after the game is over.
There are many who agreee with
Miller Higgins in his declaration that
Charley Herzog OF the Reds is the
greatest all-arOund shortstop in
America
'Herzog is the best balanced play
ct in any league, he is the most ag-
gressive. the brainiest and the hard
est worker" said Higgins.
'sHerzOg always pulls the uneX-
pected. He is ever on the alert. Moth
ing escapes him. He's a wonderful
hitter in a pinch, the steadiest and
coolest man in the game IN a crisis,
and ms amazingly nimble brain new
er overloOks an advantage for his
team"
Four Japanese merchants of New
York rank among the best golfers
enrolled as members Of the North Jer-
sey Country club. They took mp the
game about a year ago and have
shown such wonderful skill at it that
they are able right now 20 give
real battle 10 the best players among
the white members u the club.
The Japs are; i. AwOki RI. Yos-
hida, H. Yoshida. X. IchinOmiya and
= NOmura-
Golf is a wonderful game" said
Normura I'VE are fascinated by it
and play il whenever we get a chance
We try always TO improve our game
by watching the expert Americans
play. We never miss "a championship
contest I'm this section i'm which the
Americans stars are contestants"
Just as soon as Honus Wagner
learned that the Pittsburgh suffragists
were donating So for every home run
made on the Pirate field he banged
out his hugest war club and banged
out a So hit-and with the bases
loaded, too.
II didn't expect TO make any more
than two or three home runs this
year" HOnus told the suffragists
.'but now that a fellow gets a five
spot for each one. 1 guess I'll exert
myself a bit"
The ladies told Honus to go right
ahead-they didn't care how many
he made-"as long as you make them
for Pittsburgh"
Tom Cowler. sometimes referred to
as Jim COrhetts meal ticket" isn't
ripe enough to go against first class
heavyweights. He's huge in size and
packs a deadly wallop. But he's too
green" and too clumsy just now to
land IL. He knows the rudiments of
the boxing game-but little more.
year or two Of seasoning may
develop Cowler into a real ring war
rior. but just now he's in ~ third
rate class.
Ban Johnson has spoken again. or
shall we say Ban is still speaking"
Anyway, ne said something. He said:
ANY person connected with the st.
Louis Federal League club is rec
moved from any consideration what
ever so far as organized baseball is
concerned
Amt Them there words cruel ones
