It is not generally known by the

..You can't drink too much beer"
was Hurst's retort. The trouble
is they are not drinking the right

Hurst himself was strictly temp

Hurst had stormy time in base
ball and he eventually lost out as
an umpire through an act Of II rowdy-

he spat In Eddie Collins face after

of the attack all the time.
When Buck had his eye laid open
by Umpire Rigler's mask in st.
Louis early this season. he was not
fighting his own battles but was
standing between Tommy Leach ana

player fighting the rulings OF the
umpires without Herzog being up
there, chasing his men to the bench
and doing the talking himself. When
a Cincinnati player is put out of

or because the Jump gets to tho

knows that the player and not Her

and companion. She Is probably
the only person in the world who
can give Charlie Herzog baseball
advice. And she knows the game
and does it.
IS KEEN STUDENT
OF GAME.
Herzog. like every good business
man, is keen student OF his bust-
ness and almost lives with 1t. He
thinks baseball morning, noon and
night. That is the reason why he ts
one of the most interesting and
most forceful managers in the game
today. Given team with the same
spirit that It's manager displays, the
same unquenchable optimism, the
same desire to win and the same
confidence in its ability to win. and

One prominent sporting author
ity said the other day:
Il consider Charlie Herzog the
greatest individual force in gam

either. Herzog is the Cincinnati

is one of the greatest, II not the
greatest, in the game"

praise and high tribute to the
power OF the Cincinnati leader TO
