DEAL GOES THROUGH

Cincinnati, July 20.--After short
conference with Herzog. .McGraw
stated that Herzog had agreed to go
to New York and that the deal with
the Cincinnati club was closed. Her
cog has been manager of the Reds

4 manager to succeed Herzog.
Mathewson, McKcchnie and Roush

President Hampstead made the fol-
lowing statement:
u wish to announce the release Of
Christy Mathewson to the Cincin.
natl base ball club. My good wishes
Tor his success are mingled with my
.egrets that he will leave the New
York base ball club. His faithful
service, his high regard for the or
yanization have placed him in our
1earts as well as in our minds, and
there was no thought OF relinquish-
ing his services under any circum-
stances until the Cincinnati base ball
:lub requested, permission to trade
:or him to act as their manager.
Mathewson earnestly requested this
privilege and feeling that it was due
him for his past services, under these
conditions, most reluctantly con.
scented"
President Hermann issued the fol.
lowing statement:
I'VE expect great things through
the deal. McGraw himself says that
in accrning Roush we get one Of the
best outfielders in the country
Roush being both fast and hard
hitter. What we need is speed. Tn
manager cannot make up all the
speed Of the team and by securing
Rousti we add some more speed to
the outfield. In addition to this trade
we expect to make several other
trades in an effort to add more
strength to the team. These trades
viii be made before the team starts

Wild Brutes Ridden Bareback.
The bareback riding Of wild horses
was real sensation. The horses were
dragged into chute built Il heavy
plank. Only chich was placed
around them and no bride was used.
There was much pitching, and many
of the boys are nursing sore shoulders
and scraped shines as result Of their
tumbles.
Jack Morrissey, the Australian whip
cracker and rider, insisted on riding
these horses without even a cinch.
He took two Of them, one at time,
just as they run the prairies. Well,
Jack wasn't with them long. The first
one threw him at about the third
twirl, and the second one threw him
in complete soniersault flat on his
back.
Here come the wild steers, each
mounted by a cowboy. They have no
saddle or bride. They have cowbells
dangling from straps abou. their
necks. Eack cowboy able to unbuckle
the strap and take off the bell while
the steer is bucking gets SIS. And how
they do buckl And how the boys do
scramble for the bucklel
Build ogger Finishes Bulls.
Bill Pickett, the colored bull
doggcr, made the fastest record bull
dogging steer. He leaped from his
galloping horse right upon the horns
Of the wild steer, and in less time than
Stecher ever applied a scissors Bill
and the steer rolled in cloud Of dust
and Bill showed up on top.
The judges are keeping the scores
OF the events afternoons and evenings
and the big money is to be, awarded

In the cowboys pony race, Pablo
Martinez took first; Dwight Zediker
