The Same Old Thing.

week ago the FIRST whispers were
heard that Buck Herzog was to be
deposed as manager Of the Reds. The
whispers were most indefinite, for
they had him going to Brooklyn,
Boston. New York. and Chicago.
But Garry Hlrrmann raised his
hands In horror at the very sugges-
ton that his leader was to be cam
ned. Promptly he denied the tale.
With the passing of a few days.
II Is announced-no longer Whisper
ed-that Herzog is to go to New
York In exchange for Christy Math-
ewson.
And the joke Of It is that the an
nouncement comes from Garry Herr
mann.
Last winter, during those hectic af-
ternoons and fluid nights when the
Federal League was about to pass
up the ghost, various magnates made
denials and more denials.
Finally one of them was called, was
pulled up with a sharp turn. and he,
too, made his appeal to high heaven
But what was whispered around the
corridors Of the Waldorf proved to
be true. only the magnates didn't
want to admit the truth.
Apparently. the magnates are pur-
suing the same old tactics this sea-
son. It's the same old thing In Gin
oinnati when II comes to canning
Charlie Herzog.

Matty Needs Time to

orial on Live Sport Topics.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

What kind of a manager will
Christy Mathewson prove to be?
AS a leader Of a team. will he show
all those qualities OF leadership that
he has In the past as a pitcher
against odds?
Closely associated with Johnny Nc
Graw for years. will he develop ideas
Of management based on the meth
DDS Of the Little Corporal?
And. above all. will those Cincin-
nati directors allow him leeway
enough to do anything worth while
as a manager OF a major league
club?
Here are few puzzles facing
thinking fans everywhere. The an
swer to any or ali OF these questions
will hardly be expected this season.
but when October. 1917. rolls around,
the baseball world may know some
thing OF the managerial ability of

biainiest pitcher now in the game.
Until then the fans must wait.
