HERZOC ALONE LEFT
As Playing LEADER
Tinker's Withdrawal DiStin-
guiSheS Ex- -Tri-
Slater
GARRIGAN Is
OUT OF 1T TOO

It looks as il Buck Herzog. former
Tri-state player. will enjoy the dis
;inction this year Of being the only
active playing manager in the major
leagues.
A few days ago Joe Tinker made the
announcement that his days as
silayer were over; that he would do
all his team directing from the bench
and the coaching line this year. This
announcement came as no surprise.
for Joe was repeatedly warned last
year not to get in the lineup. His
physician told him he was taking a
big risk with his health every time he
got in the box score. IL was only Joe's
gameness and determination to win a
pennant that caused him to fail to
heed these orders on a number Of
occasions. Il is wisdom on the part
Of the former leader of the Whales
that has caused him to determine to
retire for good and all from the game
Joe's withdrawal from the lineup
insures Herzogs being the only play
ing manager in the older OF the two
leagues. In the American league. Car
rigan is the only leader who has any
chance Of seeing service Bill, how
ever. is about ready to drop the har-
ness of n player and go to do all his
leading from the side lines and the
bench. Bill may go behind the bat on
sundry occasions. but those occasions
will be seldom. The Red SoX boss
will be content to let younger and
more active catchers do the receiving
while he assumes all the other bur
dens that are placed upon the shoul-
ders Of a manager. Apart from his
regular managerial duties. Bill will
spend a good part Of his time in coach
ing his twirlers.
Herzog. however, will be out in
short field for the Reds playing his
head of game after game. inspiring
by his ginger and his playing those
who are udner him. Herzog likes to
hustle and he likes those under him
to hustle. Mayhap If he breaks both
his legs he will quit active partcipa-
ton.
Fritz Maisel. OF the Yankees, and
his brother George. who has been
signed for Hughey Jennings Tigers
both received word yesterday TO re.
port for spring training.
Fritz is TO be on hand at Macon, Ga,
March i, and will leave Catonsvllle

WATER RISES IN THE
CT WESTERN SHAFT
DEEP SHAFT TAPS A FLOW THAT
RESEMBLES THE FLOOD
OF THE VICTOR

The Great Western mine is troubled
with water which rose in the station
in the shaft but the matter is not ser
ious as Manager Magee expects to
master the rush by installing auxiliary
pumps to hold the pressure until he
can put in machinery capable of hand
ling the stream
1t was supposed that the old equip
ment of the mine would be equal to
the task of disposing of any water that
might come in, but last night, after
shooting. the yalume grew so rapidly
that it soon reached the shaft and
began climbing. The management be-
lieves this is the same underground
reservoir that kept the Victor busy
for nearly year and which it was
thought had been exhausted, but it
appears there remains liberal sup
ply of moisture to justify the placing
of stronger equipment.
Had it not been for the work of the
Victor which pumped 100000 to 500,
600 gallons daily for a long period il
is believed the trouble would furnish
serious problem. AS II is II be
comes merely question of getting the
larger pumps into action to bring the
flow under control
The pump motor at the bottom oi
the shaft was drowned, but there is
another pump at the 500 foot point
which may be used in conjunction
with the bailer
Manager Magee said this afternoon
There is no serious trouble at the
mine that we cannot master in few
days. II just happened that last nigh
when we ran into another lot o.
stringers the power went off and the
water came back into the station
| flooding the motor. We will be al
right soon and there will be no ma
terial delay or damage

UNIQUE FEATURES
OF DAMAGE SUIT

LOS ANGELES, Apr IL. = Unique
suit. a test case that was brought by
George and Edward Chafor, the hus-
band and minor son of Edith K. Cha
for who was killed, May "a, 1913, in
the collapse of municipal pier at
Long Beach, Cal The accident was
known as the Empire Day Disaster,
since it occurred during celebration
by British residents of the late Queen
victoria's birthday.
In the collapse of the pier forty
persons were killed outright and a
number died afterwards from their in
juries. In addition to the Chafor case,
1877 suits for damages were filed in
the superior court, but trial OF them
was delayed by agreement until the
state supreme court should decide the
test case. The sums asked in the 1877
cases total s3,500,000.
Damages of $4,000 was asked for
in the ChafOr case ana a1ter trlai
lasting 21 days, verdict of $500
was awarded the plaintiffs by a jury
in the superior court.
The theory of the Keynote" vibra-
tion was advanced by the City of
Long Beach in its defense. The key
note theory is an application of the
traditional assertion that violin
player under certain circumstances by
playing the Keynote" of great build
ing can cause ii to collapse. In ap-
plying this theory. the defense argu.
ed that group of Sctoch bag-pipers
leading the Empire Day celebration
parade stopped on the pier and struck
the dangerous keynote while the
crowd swaying to the rhythm of the
music accentuated this.

VIOLATION OF DRUG
LAW IS ALLEGED
TRIAL DEFERRED UNTIL ARRIVAL
OF UNITED STATES MARSHAL
FROM CARSON CITY

Olga Peterson who is sometimes
known as the wife of Ben Bowen, of
Goldheld and Jack Wilson. another
resident of the southern camp, are
held in the county Jail awaiting the
coming of the United States marshal.
They are charged with having in their
possession drugs and narcotics pro
hibited by the law and officers allege
they were caught with the contraband
in their clothing
Another case OF the same class also
originating in Goldfeld is under in
vestigation. This involves well
known physician of that town who Is
accused of eyading the law by pre-
scribing certain mixture of which a
teaspoonful after each meal was or
dered.

the municipal auditorium to admit the
waiting crowd, gathered on the two
story pier. In the collapse, $50 per-
sons on the top deck of the pier were
dropped thirty feet amid wreckage to
the sand beneath.
The plaintiffs argued that the pier
was old and rotten and collapsed
through weakness and structural de-
fects.
The defense also advances the the
ory that the city was performing q
government function" in operating
the pier and auditorium and therefore
it was not liable for damages
This was opposed by the testimony
of the plaintiffs, showing a payment
of $25 for the use of the auditorium.
This payment, it was contended,
made the operation of the building a
private enterprise conducted by the
municipality.
One of the speculative features of
the case was as to the manner OF
collecting any awards If the supreme
court should uphold the verdict and
proportionately large damages should
be given in the other hundred and
eighty-seven cases.
1t was contended that actively used,
municipal property could not be sub
iected to levies to satisfy such judg-
ments, but only restricted class OF
property attached. 1t was pointed out
by attorneys also, that such judg'
ments, if rendered. never would be
satisfied by bond issue because
given the known elements Of human
nature. the citizens of Long Beach
probably would not vote such an is
sue.
