BUCK RERZOG MAY BE
FORCED TO WITHDRAW
Been Playing Through Season
With an Injured Spine.

Buck Herzog may be forced to wind
up his career as a regular with the
Giants when the worlds series is over.
The scrnppy second bnseman has
gone through the season under the
handicap Of playing With an injured
spine, and during the Gants-Dodgers'
series in Brooklyn, late in August, he
tainted after making slide to the
home plate, and was forced to remnin
out Of the lineup for some time.
Herzog was hurt last April In fall
at the Pennsylvania station in New
York, and during the early weeks Of
the season he was unable to fill his
place III the Giant lineup. Luckily,
McGraw had PETE Kilduff at the time,
and Peterkin held down the job adj
mirably well.
When Herzog returned TO the line
up for keeps he appeared to be as
spry and peppery as ever and his
plpying has been a factor IN both the
defense and 0ffense Of the club. But
the injury is evidently of natnre

chances on the field, and q false step
in running the bases or fielding i bat-
ted ball may force him to retire at any
time.
Because Of his value to the Giants
at second base he will be played there
In the worlds series, but next spring
unless his injury has entirely disap-
peared, it is believed lie will be un-
able to tackle the task Of filling the
keystone position day In and day out.
If Herzog is forced to retire as a
regular the Giants will lose one OF
the most valuable players in the Ma
tional league. Always great fielder
and lightning thinker, Herzog has built
up a name for himself as one Of the
best all-around players in the game.
He has never been terrific hitter. but
his hitting from yenr to year has been
valuable because he is always danger

WILSON
FORMING DRAFT PLANS

Washington. May 25.-President
Wilson has called upon the ablest
men of the nation to guide him in
framing regulations for exemptions
from selective military service. At his
personal request, q board composed
OF nationally known lawyers. jur-
lists and military advisers are in ses-
sion here today. shaping a policy Of
equitable exemptions.
The recommendations of these ad-
visers are to be made the basis OF
the presidents proclamation Of
classes OF exemptions from selective
service. In the selective service bill.
President Wilson is given authority
to define certain classes OF individual
workers that will be granted exemp-
ton from actual field service, Such
classes will be industries necessary to
the maintenance OF the military ma
chine. Administration officials re-
fused to make known the personnel
Of the presidents advisory board" +"
They declared that some Of the big
gest men in the country" answered
the presidents call.
In some states-notably South
Carolina-already bitter feeling has
been aroused by fear that political
factions may WELD the draft as a
powerful political weapon.
In this connection former Governor
Cole Blease has sought the ears of
the war department officials. At the
same time, Governor Manning made
representation TO the department
that he fears the results OF giving
the draft power to certain political
factions.
Such problems as these and others
are before the presidents board to-
day.

BUSINESS SOUND

The participation of this country
in the European war has naturally
brought about a period of general
business uncertainty. Nationally. it
is new experience. Our civil war
is not Of the same class. 1t was To-
cal. Now We are embarking on
sea of trouble that compasses the
world.
Our minds are fed with tales OF
vast armies, insufficient food supply,
great loans. extreme taxation, of the
draft. censorship. espionage bills. It
is all bewildering.
But through the haze it is plain
to see that the basic foundation on
which the country's business rests is
stable and that the people OF the
country, in spite OF their bewilder-
ment, so regard II. There Is not the
slightest sign OF business panic. And
the reason: there is not the slight
est cause for one.
There may be little nervousness.
but no fear. There is hardly an
American who does not expect this
country to acquit itself creditably in
the present crisis. II is as though
the whole people had determined
that but one result can follow.
This attitude OF mind makes for
business stability and strong ma
tion but II also makes il hard to
rouse the individual citizen to a
sense Of his personal responsibility tc
do his part. There is pressing duty
for each of us. II Is the duty oi
loyal cooperation In support OF ths
national activities in which each car
best serve; enlistment. increasing IN,

prises necessary to the conduct oI

sonal economy-not stinting oneself

pare our balance sheet with thos,
