Nobody knew Just what Mr.. Plethora
wanted in applicants, but when Alfred
got into his presence. 27th on the
regular Saturday list OF applications,
he was turned down cold.

Mr. Plethora. No. there never Will

ushered out
In spite OF Alfred's nerve. Mr.. Pie

nothing distinguished about him. He

basket without comment The secre-

The second morning the receipt of
a similar note aroused a faint rem
iniscence in Mr.. Plethoras mind. He
tossed It into the waste basket.
The third morning a frown crossed
Mr.. Plethora's brow as he opened the
missive. He handed 1t to his secre-

 AS RED PILOT

New York, July 15.-There was rumor floating around the New York offices yesterday that it was none other than Christyc Mathewsont who would be given in exchange for Her. ZOE, and that Matty would be made manager of the Reds. Herman yes- terday denied any knowledge of steps being taken to make Hal Chase man. ager of the Reds in case Herzog is traded, and also said he knew nothing of Jack Hendricks. the manager of the Indianapolis team of the Ameri- can Association, being asked to fill Herzogs managerial shoes in Cincin- natl. Nf
 There is but little doubt Cincinnati fans would welcome Matty as man ager. His long years in baseball. his temperament and shrewd baseball head should make him an ideal leader. It also is known that Matty has been coddling managerial aspira- tions and now that his best pitching days are over it seems only only na- tural that managerial berth be giv- en him in the league he has added so much lustre to. lf
 Herzog has been with four National League teams for he was given a try out by Philadelphia, under an alas or McGhee in 1905.

ANNIVERSARIES
 or RING BATTLES

1Ss2-Clarence English. once prom inent as lightweight, and welterweight boxer, born at Yapkton, s. D. English's sphere of>operations was between Mil waukee on the east and Butte on the west, and in that section he was for years a prime favorite with the fans. Most of his early battles were staged in Omaha and Sioux City. where he fought numerous engagements in 1901 and the following year, winning most of them by knockouts. Eddie Sam try, Billy Murphy and other good lads were among his victims. Clarence got his first taste pf defeat in 1903, when he went to Kansas City to fight the New York Italian. Benny Yanger. who was known as the "Tibton Slash-' er." A little later English fought A 15-round draw in Kansas City with Battling Nelson.

MAY BOX FOR DECISIONS IN
 NEW YORK NEXT

New York, July 15-If a change in the rules of the boxing commission proposed by Chairman Wenck is ac- cepted by Commissioners Dwyer and Franey the prohibition of official de- cisions by referees will be rescinded so far as applies to contests in which one of the boxers is a title holder In a communication to his fellow commissioners Chairman Wenck of- fers this resolution:
 "No generally recognized champion of any class will be permitted to box in New York State except in a bout to a decision involving his title and against an opponent approved by this commission the referee for such bout to be selected by this commissi on." :.
 The letter continues as follows
 Countless complaints from pa irons of boxing and much discussion with soms of New York States most ardent lovers of the sport compel me to request your early cooperation in a radical reform in our rules, which 1 feel certain will result in an 1ip- mediate and vast benefit to the sport.
 '"The complaints are all due to the fact that boxers of prominence, espe- cially those with championship claims, have become entirely too arro- sant and dictatorial, with the result ! that the financial features of each .natch have completely eclipsed it's value as a sporting attraction.
 s"I think this might be remedied if we gave clubs to understand that they should not offer guarantees, and in no case offer more than 60 per cent of the gross receipts for their main bout. Such clubs as ignore this desire on cur part would suggest be suspended for the good of the sport"

KAuFF'S BELT IN
 TENTH WINS FOR
 GIANTS OVER REDS

Cincinnati, July 15-Benny Kauff broke up ball game in the tenth in- ming here yesterday by lining out a screaming single al the critical mos ment, for it scoreh George Burns the final game of the series with the Reds by score of 3 to 2.
 Luck favored the New York team, for two of their three tallies were helped along, by costly errors by Hal Chase and Wade Killifer. In the ninth Heinie Groh batted for Griffith, and in the following inning Herzog moved Neale over from centref1 cid to right and shifted Killifer from left to center. This move indirectly paved the way for the Giants victory
 Benton began the extra inning for the Giants by flaming. Burns dropped a safe hit to centre field and Killifer booted the ball so hard and far that the New York outfielder raced around to third base. Then Kauff came along with his smoking drive to centre, and Burns trotted across the plate with five from the Reds.
 Both Benton and Big Pete Schneider pitched well, but the Reds gave their twirler miserable support. Chase tried to stop Doyle from going to third on Doolan's sacrifice in the sec ong inning and threw the ball far oyer Herzog's head. Before the Can teloupe King could retrieve it Larry was across the plate with the first run of the game.

BAKER OF TANKS HURT; ID BE OUT
 FOR ENTIRE WEEK

Yesterday was a day of wide and xaried consequences at the Polo Grounds. The Yankees and Detroit Tigers staged 24 innings of baseball equally divided into two games. Each won one victory.
 The Yankees made no material pro- gress in their climb in the percentage ladder. but they succeeded in taking frmer hold on the lead by virtue of the fact that the Senators walloped the Indians. Also the Tanks lost the -shrvicss of Frank Baker. The first game was lost by to 2, while ithr second resulted in a 4 to victory. z Baker will be out of the lineup for poasibly-a week because of an injury he sustained in chasing a foul fly off Burns' bat in the fourth inning of the second game. He crashed into sthel ow wall skirting the boxes on the third base side xof the stadium. and was badly shaken up. An examination though he was forced to leave the game. A physician stated he would probably be out for a week.
 Al may be inferred from the dura- ton of the two contests, both were 3efy bitterly fought Away to . lead in the second inning of the first game the Tanks set the pace until a home run by Hoffman tied it up in the nth. From then on through the eleventh Nick Cullop and Mill Mitch- ell. fork-ha performers. battled on even terms.
 In the twelfth, however, Cullop, succumbed to a live bombardment, and four runs were maced from his delivery with the aid of one error back of him. It was the first loss of the season for Culiop and prevented hiIn from stretching his string to an , even ten wins Mitchell managed to s1etainr his gait through the Yankees halt Of the twelfth, and they failed to score.
 The Yankees also succeeded in es- fat(1ishihg the pace for the second i game. and held the lead until the sixth.
 M From the sixth on through the eleventh George Cunningham and Allen Russpll.l youngsters in the camps of the opposing forces. fought a brilliant duel. The break in the run this time went with the Yankees, and in the twelfth they rushed Cum ingham for the run needed to win.
