tract which, it is said, calls for the same salary that he received while managing the Cincinnati club, $10,- 900 year. Herzog has been mana ger of the Reds since the season of 1914. He probably will play third base for the Giants, his old position on that team.
 Ivy Wingo, catcher and captain of the Reds, took charge of the team today in the double-header with Phil adelphia, Herzog having signed with New York before the first game. Mathewson was still in Chicago.
 President Hampstead late yester- day made the following Statement:
 T wish to announce the release of Christy Mathewson to the Cincinnati Baseball club. My good wishes for his success are mingled with many regrets that he will leave the New York Baseball club. For many years the New York public have enjoyed the games in which he has partici- pated and have given him their un- qualified support, goodwill, and re- spect
 "The New York fans hold Mathew son with the highest regard, but not more so than I or the entire man. agement of the Giants. His faithful service, his high regard for the or ganization, have placed him in our hearts as well as in our minds, and there was no thought of relinquish- ing his serviceE under any circlHn- stances until the Cincinnati Baseball club requested permission to trade for him to act as their manager. Mathewson earnestly requested this privilege, and, feeling that 1t was due him for his past services, under these conditions I most reluctantly con- sented.
 "I certainly wish him well in his new line of endeavor and trust that his name will stand as high as a manager as it has as a ball player and as a citizen of the United States
 President Hermann of the Cin- cinnati club said:
 We expect great things through the new deal. McGraw himself says that in securing Roush we get one of the best outfielders in the country Roush being both fast and a hard hitter. What we need is speed The manager cannot make up all the speed of the team, and by securing Roush we add some more speed to the outfeld. In addition to this trade we expect to make several other trades in an effort to add more strength to the team. These trades will be made before the team starts east

away from the Columbia Rowing as- sociation and will be centered in the Athletic association, which controls the athletic finances. It is hoped thereby to obViate a good deal of the financial trouble which has always be- set rowing at Columbia.
 It developed that the call to con- sider withdrawing from rowing had been issued by Morton Rogue, chair man of the board of stewards of the Intercollegiate Rowing association, and Francis $. Bangs, who was BOgue's predecessor in that position. After a session that lasted more than four hours, Lowering Tyson, sec- retary of the meeting, issued the fol- lowing Statem ent:.
 At an informal meeting of old row. ing men and undergraduates inter- ested in rowing, at the Columbia Uni- versity in response to the followig call:
 "You are invited to attend a meet ing to be held at the Columbia Uni versity club, on Thursday, July 20, to consider the recommendation of the undersigned that Columbia Univer- sity withdraw from intercollegiate rowing.
 "F. S. BANGS,

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 21.-After sixteen years as a member of the New York Giants, the erstwhile pre- mier pitcher of professional baseball Christy Mathewson, will return here today to manage the Reds, the team that aIlawed him to slip through it's fingers without a trial

 Some years ago Manager McGraw of the Giants established the rule that he would never ask Mathewson to re- tire from a game in which he was pitching. Tn principle this rule was adhered to to the last. A statement issued by President Hampstead of the Giants yesterday revealed the fact that it was not until Matty had asked for permission to negotiate for a managerial berth that the idea of trading him entered their minds
 Although the deal involved only the two Cincinnati men for the three New York players, moment after it was completed President Hermann announced that Mathewson would be in charge of the team, beginning to- day.
 The deal was consummated at noon yesterday, after tWo-hour confer- ence between Presidents Hermann and Hampstead and Manager Me- GraW of the Giants. The trade had been practically agreed upon couple of days ago, but New York insisted upon attaching a string to Mathew son. which would subject him to recall after two years. At the conference yesterday Hampstead and McGraw finally agreed to allow Mathewson to become the exclusive property of the Cincinnati club.
 Imm ediately after the conference McGraW conferred with Herzog, the latter agreeing to ali points in the trade. He signed a three-year con-

Giant are ended. The greatest pitcher the game has known, and one of its finest characters, has gone to his new field of endeavor, and that he will be as successful there as he was when Giant was the wish of every McGraWite as they bade him good bye.
 Matty, McKechnie, and Roush de- parted for Cincinnati last night and word was received from Cincinnati that Herzog and Killifer would be here tomorrow morning. So tomor- rows game will find Matty managing the Reds and ,Herzog playing third base for the Giants.
 ''Well," Matty was asked, "how do you feel about it?''
 Why, it's all right" he replied. Its a step upward, you know"
 Are you going to do any pitching over there?"
 That depends entirely on how my arm feels. It's doubtful. I warmed up here yesterday and warmed up good, but this morning the same old pain was there, and pitching with me is just like opening up a fresh wound and never giving it any chance to heal.'

 ing.
 New York, July 21-Columbia will not withdraw from intercollegiate rowing. That was decided at a meet ing at the Columbia university club last night.
 Alumni and undergraduates most prominent in the sport gathered in response to Q call to consider the ad- visibility of abolishing the sport or resigrfing from membership in the Intercollegiate Rowing association, in which it's associates are Cornell and Pennsylvana.
 It was decided unanimously that Columbia was not only to continue to support rowing, but that the sport was to be put on a much firmer basis. The control of rowing will be taken
