.HERZOG HURT and
GIANTS MAY LOSE
HIM FOR SEASON

New York, Sept. LIT was a day
of sad happenings for the league lead
ing Giants in their doubIe-header
with the fighting Robins at Ebbets
Field yesterday afternoon. Ferdinand
Schupp, the brilliant young southpaw,
was beaten by the outgoing cham
pions in a, driving finish in the open
ing performance by a. score of to 81;
Rube Benton was held to a to l
II inning tie by jeff Pfeffer in the,
late encounter, and last but not least
Charles Lincoln Herzog wrenched his
back again and the possibility is that
he will not play any more this season
The unfortunate n1ishap to- the fiery
second baseman occurred in the
eighth inning Of the first struggle. The
score was knotted at the time, with
Fletcher on third. Herzog ON second
and Holke on first. To the extreme
delight of the New York fans, old
Boshtub Bill Rariden cracned a solid
smash to center field. The hit scored
Fletcher and Herzog and sent Holke
to third. ~
The CantaIoupe King took a big
slide as he neared the plate, and after
freeing the dirt from his uniform
walked over to the New York dugout,
seemingly unhurt. Later, however.
he collapsed in the arms Of one of his
fellow players. He was carried to the
clubhouse and a. physician was sum-
moned from the throng in the grand
stand. It was many minutes before
| the doctor was able to revive the play
| er.
| While on his way to Philadelphia
early this season Herzog essayed to
kick a piece of gum from the Penn
| sylvania Station platform in this city.
He slipped, fell and wrenched his back.
After a long rest he resumed playing.
but was advised by his physician not
to exert himself to any great extent.
| Both conflicts were replete with
thrilling moments, especially the first,
when the Giants helped themselves to
a two-run lead in the eighth, only to
have the Robins win the game in their
half of the INNING by crossing the
plate three times.
| To David James Hickman, the little
outfielder, goes the honor Of sending
the Giants down to defeat in the first
game. To David James Hickman goes
the honor of preventing the Giants
from winning the second game.
There were two out when Hickman
strolled to the plate in the eighth in
ming. The Giants were still enjoying
| a One-run advantage, HI Myers was on
third and Casey Stengel on second.
Hickman missed the first two balls by
nearly foot. Schupp, instead of wast-
| ing at least one ball, put over fast
one and the little outielder slammed
the sphere to left, scoring Myers with
the tying run and Stengel with the
| deciding tally.
The second game went along until
the ninth inning without either side
| scoring, so great was the pitching of
Benton and Pfeffer. The Rube pulled
himself out of a dangerous place in
the eighth inning. thanks to a won
derful throw to the plate by Benny
+ Kauff.
/ Miller singled in this inning and
| Pfeffer sacrificed. Johnston singled to
left and dDaubert walked, loading the
sacks. Myers flied to Kauff and the
| out1elder doubled Miller at the plate.

JENNINGS MAY LEAD YANKS
Say Col. Rupert Has Offered Detroit Leader Big
Salary to Quit Tigers.

icaL It is known that Colonel Rup-
pert wants Hugh Jennings for man
ager.
Whether President Navin of the De-
troit club would permit his manager
to go to New York is not known, but
Jennings contract with the Tigers
expires this year, and there is reason
ito believe that Detroit would find it
very hard to retain his services If
New York offered him an extravagant
salary, which they can well afford to
do and which would be a big strain
on Detroit's treasury to meet with an
equal offer.
Along with the name of Jennings is
mentioned that of Billy Evans, the
American league umpire. ct is even
said that President Johnson is of the
opinion that Evans would qualify as
hrst-class manager and that he
would be willing to lose the services
of his best arbitrator for the sake OF
having a winning american league
team in New York

YANKEES BATTLE
WITH WASHINGTON
FOR IST DIVISION

New York, Sept. History is re-
peating itself in the cases of the
Yankees and the Washington Sena-
tors. Last season these clubs were
batting in the final weeks of the
American league campaign Tor fourth
place and the position finally was
captured by the Yanks. This year
they are again fighting for fourth po-
sitton, although it is now occupied
by the Detroit Tigers.
Both the Yanks and Senators are
striving with might and main to dis
lodge the Tigers and get the gerth
themselves. The series at the Polo
Ground between the teams of Dono-
van and Griffith will go a long way
toward settling the controversy Meth
er of the clubs has been doing any
thing over which to wax enthusiast
tic, so it is altogether likely that the
Tigers will hold on to the position at
the foot of the first division them
selves.
Detroit, as the standing of the club
indicates, has been producing much
better baseball than either the Yanlzs
or the Senators. Indeed the war
riors of Hughey Jennings have been
doing much better than the percen-
tages of the clubs would indicate De-
brO1I Is one OIL the most powerful
clubs in the American league, but had
the misfortune to get off to bad
| start and the pitching staff went poor
ly for several weeks in the early
| stages of the chase. That initiated
against the success of the club more
than anything else.
| 1t is to be hoped that the suspen.
! sion Ban Johnson has fixed upon Boil
| Shawkey for his recent alteration
! with an umpire will be lifted soon
for Bob is needed sorely by the
Yanks. When he was set down fol
arguing with an arbiter Shawkey wa.
pitching in better form than he hat
SHOWN at any other time during tn,
campaign, and his absence has beer
a severe loss to the clan of Donovan
! Shawkey has been dilemma al
season. Donovan has been baffled b,
his inability to strike a winnin,
stride. The veteran appears to be il
well nigh perfect physical condition
yet his pitching is far off color. Re
Gently, however, there has been
lchange for the better, and it is hope,
THAT Shawkey will be available TO
duty on the mound in the near future

skipper. Colonel RUPERT is anxious
to have a pennant winner and is ready
to pay the freight to bring a flag to

anxious that a New York club shall

According to the sponsors Of the

Likewise Jess Orndorff will attempt to walk around the bases while the two fastest men on the team circle the bases twice.
 Last, but not least, comes the ball game between two picked teams for the final championship of Kingman, the line-ups to be announced later.
 Quite a novel stunt to break the monotony of the weary Sundays, and only the regular admission price will be charged, so why not come out and enjoy yourself.

MAKES LONG RIDE ON HORSEBACK ID
 BRING IN REPORTS
CFrom Thursdays Daily Miner,


 H. E. (Buck) Russ, who registered the eligibles for Uncle Sam's big army in the north part of Mohave county, had quite an experience in getting back to Kingman. All the ferries were tied up on account of high water and even the Virgin river was so high that it was not fordable. The abut- ments of the bridge had gone out over the Virgin and he had to swim his mount. At Vegas Wash the Colorado river had backed so far up that he had again to swim his horses across. At Quartette the ranchers were flee ing their homes and the ferry was out of commission. The ride then had to be made to Needles, where that ferry was out of commission. The only available crossing was at the National highway bridge. The Oatman road was under water in the river bottom and Mr. Russ had to take to the hills to make the trip through the big gold camp to Kingman. In making the trip about 400 miles was covered.

lfrOm IhurSday 8 Oally Minerl
 The richest gold ore ever taken from the mines of the Chemehuevis mountains is now being sacked at the Brawn-Otis mines in Needles peaks, on the Colorado river. The ore is running about $500 per ton in gold and some copper. The owners, F. F. Brawn,S Ed. Robinson, Bert Otis and Clyde Brawn, have been keeping a force of men at work on the property the past six months and are getting into big body of very rich rock. A considerable tonnage is being sacked, to be shipped to the shelter.
 The ore was found near the summit of the peak in the range, ropes having to be used to get the miners up to the point where the vein was attacked. At the most inaccessible part of the rocky cliff the highest grade ore was A drift was driven in be- low this place and raise was made>to the ore body. Good ore is still in sight in the floor of the drift, as well as in the stope that has been opened. The owners believe that they have a splendid property.

BINFORD OPENS GOOD
 VEIN ON HIBERNIA
tFrom Thursday.s Daily Minerl

B. M. Binford Is in kingman from the Hibernia country, where he re- gently discovered a vein of very rich silver ore. This vein is traceable for long distance across the hills, and on all the outcrops good ore has been cut. A superficial shaft has been sunk on the vein and ore running from 300 to 600 ounces silver was taken. It is the Intention of the owner to open the property by short tunnel, which will cut the vein at depth of 75 feet, giving a nice back of ore for stoping.
 The new find is near the Hibernia, one of the first mines patented in Mo have county. During the past forty years the Hibernia produced many thousands of dollars worth of ore. The fact that it is in a most inaccessible part of the Wallapai mountains ac- counts for it's failure to be operated at this time.

FIRE CROSSES
 THE WALLAPAI DIVIDE

The forest fire which has been rag ing in the Wallapai mountains for the past three days last night had reached the summit and was reported to be crossing over the divide. Serious damage is further expected, as the burning boughs of the pine trees fall down the mountainside and start other fires. Several Kingman, people last night were discussing the situation and there was talk of organizing a volunteer band of fire fighters to try to stop the spread of the flames. It was pointed out that 25 or 30 meD could do considerable in the way o5 checking the fire.

MOUNTAIN SPRINGS DRYING UP

Maurice Louzon, manager of the Wallapai Metals company, reports that the spring at the property, from which water for camp purposes has been obtained, has gone dry. The same report comes from other sections of the Wallapais. This is unusual, as a large amount of moisture in the way of rains and snows fell over that sec tion of the county the past winter. It may be inconvenient to the mining camps, but it will be of benefit to the mine operators who have to handle a large amount of water in the de- velopment of the veins.
