tirmer on scattered covering an some
support from trade interests, prompted
by the 1rmness of raws and the In
creased demand for refined. Prices at
one time showed advances of IA to IS

this level and reactions occurred at the
close with Anal quotations to 10 points

BRUINS MAY YET GET
HERZOG FROM REDS
(Bv Associated Pressl

Chicago, July 18.-President Weigh
man Of the Chicago Cubs is in Gin
cinnau to close a deal, It is said. for
Charley HerZog. the much sought in
fielder.
Cincinnati, July 18.-Christy Math-
owson. famous pitcher of the New York
Giants, is slated to manage the Reds,
but the deal has not gone through yet
and may not be made. This was stated
by Garry Hermann, president of the
Reds, before he went into session yes
terday with the Cincinnati clubs board
OF directors.
The New York club wants to retain
claim on MathewsOn. so that he can
be recalled at the end of two years, -
said Hermann: We cannot accept
that condition"
II Matty comes to the Reds. it prob
ably will be in a trade by which Gin
cinnati gives up Manager Herzog and
Wade Killifer, outfeIder. in exchange
for Matty. Bill McKechnie, third base
man. and Ed Rousch. outhelder, Herr
mann said.
There is a chance, Hermann said,
that Herzog might be traded 70 the
Giants without Matty coming to the
Reds. or that some other club might
get Herzog. Every team in the league
except Philadelphia and St Louis is
after Herzog.

RACING FANS SEE

Jockeys at Hawthorne Course Execute
Number of Spills-Lee SkOIny
Wins Chicago Handicap.

Chicago, July 18.-Chicago's turf
sports received a touch of high life in
the racing line yesterday in the sec
ond days program of the Illinois
Jockey clubs 13-day revival. Two fav-
orites won. the fields were big, and as
an extra thrill Jockeys Hoag and Hunt
figured in a spill in the first race.
Neither rider was hurt, although both
took hard falls Mex, the favorite in
the race. finally jumped the fence and
straddled a stable boy who was sitting
on the rail.
The upset came after the horses-12
of 'em--left. the barrier. c. Hunt, on
MorristOwn, was seen to go down with
his mount, MOrristOwn. A second lat
er Mex also tumbled, tossing his rider,
". HOag, and hurdling the fence, while
Morristown started away after arising
just as though nothing happened. He
finished first without the Jock" run
ming around the track three times be-
for he was headed off.
Mex, along with Altamaha, was the
fayorite, and the spill handicapped Al
tamaha so much that he ran a bad race
and permitted Type, a 20-to-1 shot in
the betting, to sneak under the wire Il
winner, three lengths ahead of Black
Beauty, who was a length in front OF
Shrewsbury. There was cry of dis
may from the crowd when the two rid
ers were unseated, for little or no coin
went down on the winner, whereas
Mex and MOrristown were heavily
played, as was Altamaha, who ran a
poor race.
Only a small crowd went out for the
days sport, the track estimate being
