They Knew Something.

One March day last spring we ambled into the Yankees training camp at Macon. We fairly stumbled over ball players. They were in the lobby, in the dining room, in the ele- vatOrs, around the news stands-a camp moblized with untold quanti- ties of baseball flesh.
 We started to count them one day, but after reaching fifty-fOur includ- ing twenty-one pitchers, we quit the job flat.
 Wottheballyel, we thought, do Cap Huston and Col. Ruppert mean by snagging all this output? Are they trying to round up an army or ball club?
 Evidently they knew omething. Their only regret now is that they didn't mobilize eighty-four players in stead of fifty-four. The first squad having been used up, they are now keeping the wires buzzing by calling in the class of 1917, the landstrum and any outsiders who care to re- port.

SUSPENDED FOR FIGHTING.
Thomas and Austin Are Disciplined
 by Ban Johnson,

Chicago, Aug. S.-Chester Thomas, the Boston Americans catcher, and Jimmy Austin, third baseman of the St. Louis Americans, were indefinitely suspended yesterday by President Johnson for their participation in a fist fight at St. Louis yesterday. The suspension of Thomas is considered a blow to the Red SOX in their crucial series with the White SOX which began today.
 James Lannin, president and owner of the Boston team, issued a state ment here yesterday justifying ThOm- as participation in the fight at St. Louis, and added: Had Thomas not gone after Austin and fought back l would have fined him for his lack of aggressiVeness

FEARS FOR EyERS.
Physicians Think Trojan May Have
 NeuEitis

Boston, Aug. S.-JOhnny Evers has, it is feared, a ca SC of neuritis A physi- elan who was called found rather pro- nounced symptoms. He is suffering considerable pain in his neck for three years, and whenever he catches cold it seems to settle there. He has had little sleep in the past three nights, and the physician says he sh hould take at least a weeks rest.
 Evers has been working on his nerve for the last three or four years and the hot weather takes a particularly hard grip on him. A year ago this time he was suffering from nervous exhaustion and a short rest did him @ lot of good. Perhaps a lay off for week or so would have a similar effect now.

Giants Unset CubS,

New York, Aug. 8.-The present indications seem to be that the once proud Batting Eye has become use- less adjunct of Glorified Founders. By beating the Cubs to ? yester- day the Giants made it three out of four for the series, and they used up but thirteen hits in the four games to accomplish this highly worthy pur- pose.
 An average of three and one-quar- ter base hits to the afternoon is not what any one might call heavy and hilarious hitting, but it was heavy enough and hilarious enough to get by. Which is now, always was and always will be the answer. The score:

Buck HerZOg.

If any one requests you to name the greatest third baseman Of the game today there is no need TOT any extended thought. His name Is Buck Herzog, and the game he is playing now lifts him up around the heights once held by the Immortal Three Jimmy Collins, Bill Bradley and Art DeVlin.
 Herzog's play has approached the work of this eminent trio closer than any other third base exhibition we have seen. For he is getting them all four ways-right, left, back and front a far greater ball player than he was when five years ago he rejoined Giants and was supposed to be in his prime.

LOCATED AT LAST

MT. Hughes has been located at last. He states his position when he repudiates the doctrine of the administration, as stated by Dr. Eliot, namely, No inter. yention by force of arms to pro- tect on foreign soil American commercial and manufacturing adventurers. who. of their own free will, have invested their money or risked their lives in foreign parts under alien juris- diction. l."
 In denouncing this doctrine MT. Hughes commits himself to the opposite doctrine that justi- fies wars for the extension of trade. As he took the side of the railroads against the patrons when he vetoed the two-cent fare bill in New York; as he took the side of the tax dodgers on the income tax; as he has taken the side of the shipping trust a. gainst the people and as he took the side of the railroad mana gers against the employees on the eight hour day law, so he an nounces that he would take the side of speculators in foreign lands as against the people at home, even to the use of armed force. We'll, this ought to give him the votes of the spectators, but it ought to lose him the votes of those who have to bear the burden. w. J. Bryan.
