Herzog's Status.

1t is refreshing to note in Cincin-

being treated gently. Other managers
to lose out In Redland were thrown
out on their heads. roughly. without
ceremony.
But Herzog's earnestness. his will
ingness to hustle, his own personal
brilliancy as a player have combined
to give him a square deal Not one
writer piles into him He Is given
credit for all he has done
But Cincinnati is done with the

Managers or Players?


For years arguments have been
heard concerning the relative value
of managers and players when It
came down &c winning pennants.
John McGraw and Connie Mack
have been lauded to the skies as
makers OF pennants. McGraw has
been credited with doing all the
thinking for his more or less IRON
skulled players. Connie Mack's sig
nails with a scorecard from the bench.
we have been told, have brought PEN
nants and worlds titles to the Phil
adelphia Athletics.

American League, pennant and the
worlds title to the Chicago White
Sox. 1t was his brains. his leader
ship, we've been told.
All rot! All rot
but he can't make a pennant win
ner by his own exertions.
Look at Connie Mack today. No
one believes for a single moment
that he has lost any of bis cunning
's EooR at h0Rs sissr 5Snss whose
brains won for the White sox in
1905" Jones has a fairly good ball
club which has little or no chance to
win the pennant In its league this
season.
When It comes down to brass
tacks. It's the players who make
the pennant winners.
No better proof OF this was ever
shown than the experience of Frank
Chance In New York. The man who
had trampled upon National League
clubs for years. who had led worlds
championship teams. proved a most
lamentable failure at the head of the
nondescript Yankees. BY himself,
he was as nothing. He just had to
have players.
It's the team. not the manager. that
brings pennants to a city.

BaltimOre's Case.

Last week Baltimore refused abso-
lutely to patronize a ffteen-r round
bout for the light-heavyweight
championship Of the world. The pro-
moters counted on support from the
b. p. Q. E.. then In session In Baiti-
more. When the Eiks failed to rally
to the support of the Dillon-Levin-
sky battle. II became a fiasco. Bal
timore didn't support It.
Then how. under the sun. can
baltimore continue it's cry for major
league baseball?
Baltimore writer's claim that Ban
johnson Is absolutely opposed to the
appearance OF the Monumental City
In his circuit. Maybe they're right.
Allow they are. You'll have to credit
Ban johnson with knowing some
thing about sports when he de-
clines to put franchise in a city
that never has made signs Of Deing a
major league city.
Baltimore pokes fun at the small
crowds in Washington, but the
washington club Is making few
plants and will not lose a cent on
the season now running.

White to Face Crisis
In Career Saturday
If He Fails to Rush Freddie Welsh From Start to
Finish He Deserves No Further Support-To-
days Sportorial on Live Topics.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Charlie White. the much-praised
lightweight boxer from Chicago. gets
another chance at the worlds title
Saturday. He Is matched with Fred
die Welsh in a ten-round bout ut
new club situated half way between
St. Paul and Minneapolis. But what
real chance has he?
In all his battles against clever men
White has failed to show at his best
because OF his Willingness to wait for
an opening. He has seldom gone out
and made his openings for himself.
II Charlie White will rush from his
corner In the first round and begin
crowding Welsh. he will have a
chance r..
~ II White will keep up this rushing
all through. the bout TO Its end. he
may step out of the ring owner Oh
the worlds lightweight TUE.
White has met Welsh three times.
His battle last summer in New York
gave HIM much prestige. he battered
the champion all around the ring.
but he didn't start soon enough: he
was feeling his way through half the
short struggle.
Welsh cannot hurt the Chicagoan.
Welsh knows IT and 80 does Mn,te.
II White allows Welsh to carry
the fight to him. he deserves to be
erased from the list Of those who
seek the lightweight crown. He will
practically admit his fear Of the
titleholder.
Saturdays affair should be the
turning point in the ring career OF
one of these two boxers. II White
rushes from beginning to end. he
may emerge champion Of the world.
II he allows Welsh to make his own
battle, White will be eliminated from
those real contenders now seeking
the championship OF the world In the
lightweight division. He will be adj
hitting that he is merely a money
maker without much real courage.

JAW HITTING WALL
Mackmen Lose Star Player When
He Tries for Foul Ball.

PHILADELPHIA. July ls.-Not only
were the Athletics defeated in both ends
of the double-header with the White
Sox yesterday-scores to Q and to
but they lost the services of one OF
the hardest working players on the
team. Wally Schang. who was badly In
jured when he crashed against the
concrete wall in front Of the left field
pavilion.
Chasing Jackson's foul in the seventh
inning, Schang stumbled and fell side
ways. his face striking the wall and
knocking him unconscious. Doctors in
the stands rushed to his assistance. and
1t was ten minutes before he was re-
vived and sent to the University Hos.
pital where 1t was found that he has a
broken jawbone and Commissions of the
right shoulder and arm. He was lucky
to escape without a broken neck.
An x-ray was taken of the injured
athlete last night. and the result will
not be known until the plate 10 devel-
oped and examined today. However
Schang will be out OF the game for a
long while. Until he was injured. Wally

New Use for Submarines.

1t is reported that the Germans are
laying mines from submarines. The
mines are carried one above another
In a vertical alright chamber within
the submarine. When they are to be
laid water is admitted to the cham
Der and a door in the outer shell OF
the hull closing the chamber is opened.
The mines are then released, one by
one. through proper appliances The
mine anchor sinks to the bottom and.
by suitable mechanism, the anchorage
cable is unwound to permit the mine
to float at the desired depth below the
surface. This method OF mine laying
is absolutely secret, and therefore is
proportionately dangerous to the en-
envy.
