margin of points in the first stanza
which the visitors were unable to over
come. Conspicuous in the lineup of
the Crescent quint was Butler, former
star foot ball man and all-round ath-
lete at Cornell. He played splendid
defensive game and got in some good
work in the second half. when he shot
two goals. one of which was from the
center of the court. 1t was remarka-
BILE heave. the ball striking on the
outer edge of the basket, bounding
about five feet in the air. and then fall

RECORD FOR HERz0G
Will Be Only Playing Manager
in Big Leagues This Year.
TINKER AND HIGGINS QUIT
Carrigan Also to Stick to Bench, But
Reds Leader Aims to Get in
Every Game.
TINKER AND HIGGINS QUIT

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CINCINNATI, February 12.-There
was a time not so very long ago when
most of the teams in the big show We're
managed by leaders who themselves
played in almost every game unless dis
abIed or chased by the umpire.
But never in base ball history has any
big league manager attained the unique
distinction that has fallen to Charles
Buck" Herzog, leader of the Cincinnati
Reds.
To Herzog belongs the distinction of
being the only playing manager left out
of all the flock of field commanders who
were so prominent in the game until
most recent days. and the peppery chief
of the Red-hosed warriors. from all indi-
cations, will be the only playing man
ager commanding a team on the big
time circuits during the 1916 season.
At first glance the average fan will
remark that Joe Tinker. Miller Higgins
and Bill Carrigan also are playing man
ayers. Not so. Not SO. During the 1915
season Tinker took part in only a very
few games. Huggins laid off large
part of the time. and Carrfsan in
trusted the catching almost wholly to
his subordinates.
And all three already have announced
that they expect to do almost no active
work during the 1915 season, Huggins
being the first to come out with the state
ment that he would manage from the
bench. Tinker following little later.
II is foregone conclusion that Carri-
gan will work only little, II at all, dur
ing the coming season.
with the few playing managers OF 1915
thus consigned by their own decisions to
the bench, Herzog remains alone. the one
leader who can rightfully be styled such,
fnasmuch as he proposes to play in every
game of the 154, unless disabled or chased
BY the umpire
Herzog will arrive in Cincinnati March
/ to prepare for the southern training
trip On that date he will share honors
with Garry Hermann as the guest OF
honor at banquet to be given by the

Mr. Townes decided that proxies could
not be voted and that delegates here TO
