lighted by the blaze that was burn

Garry" Hermann Has Been Baseball
 Magnate 13 Years

August Hermann, long prominent in baseball circles as chairman of the National Commission and %president and principal owner of the Cincinnati club of the National League, will round out today his thirteenth year as magnate. Carry broke into the game on August g, 1902, when, in association with George B. Cox and Julius and Max Fleischman, he bought the Reds from John T. Brush for $150, That wasn't a. very big price to pay for a major league club, but even at that figure Carry was f1nan- cially stung. Since he became head of the Reds Hermann has had little reason to feel e1ated over the showing g of his players. Hermann had hopes in 1904, when Cincinnati finished l third, but since then the club has usually been a consistent contender for the cellar championship. It. is generally believed that the support of the Reds will cost Garry a pretty penny this year, as the fans of the southern Ohio city have not shown any inclination to mob the gate. No body can blame 'ern, at that.
 l The late John T. Brush, Herrma m s l predecessor as president of the Cincin-
 nati club, got the Reds for a song in 1 1891. He had previously been cloth l ing dealer in Indianapolis, and owner l of the Hoosiers. After he sold out tc 1 Hermann and his partners, Brush | got a controlling interest in the New York Giants, which made him a for tune. In 1908 Brush is said to have cleared $325, ,o0o5 from the Giants, an6
 other years his profits were almost al great.
 Garry Hermann has long beer prominent in Cincinnati politics, as 1 close associate of Boss. Cox. H.
 had already accumulated a forum, when he bought the Reds. He wen

FIVE AMERICANS WOUNDED AS MEXICAN OUTLAWS AND

Brownsville, Aug. s-Believing that endorsements sent to Noriaz Ranch last night would relieve the situation there caused by attack of Mexican bandits, border officials here today turned their attention to reports that 800 Mexicans had crossed the border into Hida1go county, Texas, in small parties1and apparently were making their way to 8 concentration point
 What this portends none of the- off cials would venture to guess, but it was admitted unusual precautions were being taken by peace officers and ranch owners to prevent outbreaks.
 Details of the fight at Noriaz Ranch, 50 miles north of Brownsville, last night, were awaited here with interest. Owing to the isolated nature of the country there and the fact that the bandits cut all telephone wires from

 Previous explorations have shown that there are large supplies of cod in those waters. In addition there are three special of salmon in Hudson Straits and in vne summer these fish are plentiful on the coast of Baffin Island and the south shores of the bay.
