Big Rush Is On For
Worlds Series Seats

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Nearly 1900
special delivery letters requesting re-
servations for the worlds series were
received on Sunday at the American
League Park here. The regular mail
containing orders for seats has al
most swamped the office of Harry
Grabineer, secretary of the Chicago
club, and early to-day he made ar
rangements to enlarge his force of
clerks.
The work of constructing several
thousand additional seats for the
worlds series was well under way
to-day and, according to the plans,
the park will have a seating capa-
city of $4,000 before the opening
game on October 6.

Camp Hill High to
Continue Tennis Sport

Tennis enthusiasts at the Camp
Hill High school expect to indulge in
the game until late in the fall. Two
courts adjoining the building which
were used last spring and during
the summer have been placed in
shape and are used hard by pupils.
II Is not likely that any tournaments
will be played this fall as in the
spring on account of the late start.

STARS IN WORLDS SERIES
WHO EXPECT TO FIGURE;
THEIR BASEBALL CAREER
BY w. r. HOEFER
CHARLES l.. HERZOG


You can't tell by its size how
hard a mule can kick, and you
can't tell what Buck" HerzoG
will do in world series by his
seasons percentage.
That's because Herzog is the
gingerjar of the diamond. He
has personality plus, the old
pep simply oozes out of him and
his middle name is scrap"
Don't rely on the dope in figur-
ing Herzy for the series mix.
He has q bad habit of kicking
the percentage figures through
the roof in crisis and rising to
an emergency like a hungry
hobo rises to the call for din
ner.
This was proven in 1912 world
series against the Boston Red
SoX. Herzog had hit only 1858
that year over the seasons play,
yet he was one of the dominant
factors in prolonging the series
to s games and almost coping
il for the luckless Giants.
He weighs only $50 pounds,
soaking wet" as the boxers
say, and is about feet 10 inches
tall, yet he challenged Cobb, who
outweighed him 80 pounds, to
bare kunckle fight last spring
and gave Tyrus quite a lot of
trouble.
Herzog is the winning type of
player. He is whirlwind field
er, fast on the bases and by his
aggressiveness and personality
raises the efficiency of any club
he is with at least 10 per cent.
He has keen baseball brain, a
fine pair of fielding hands and
although this season he has
tickled the pill around only .230,
is always a bad guy in pinch.
Buck" is 32 years old, being
born in Baltimore, Md, July 9,
1885, and is a college man. He
was a star at Maryland Univer-
sity and m 1906 played semi
pro ball for Ridgley, Md. He
started his pro" career in the
Tri-State League with Reading
and went to the Giants in 1908,
was traded to the Boston Ma
tionals in 1910, secured again by
the Giants in 1911, and went to
Cincinnati Reds in 1914 as man
ager. He came back to New
York in 1916 in the deal that
sent Matty to Cincinnati as man
ager.
Charley came to the Giants in
1908 with a minor league bat
ting mark of only .204, but Nc
Graw saw him in action. took
one slant at the cut of his jaw
and his aggressive map and
knew he wanted him. Herzog
has played every infield position
but first base, but his real job is
the keystone sack. He is the
ideal type to captain ball
club.
In physical playing ability Co
ms has it over Herzog by big MAJ
gin. He is a better sticker, more
ashy fielder and lots faster on tt
bases. Herzog, however, has a wo
1erful personality, is full of fire an
always plays better in a crisis than
other times.

House. Mr.. Harrington. the court at
tOrney. was instructed to consult the

tive to the matter.

ed by law, which contained the follow
ing information:

districts in Kent county. S7IS22.0S.

TAXATION REVISION TO
BE BEDISCUSSED in MILFORD
Meeting At Armory Hall Tuesday
Night To Be Addressed By DR..
Layton And R. C. Houston.

Under the auspices of the Taxation
Revision Committee. a mass meeting
of citizens will be held at Armory
Hall next Tuesday night, beginning az
eight o'clock. The addresses Of the
evening are to be made by Dr.. Caleb
r. Layton and Robert G Houston, OF
Georgetown.
Just at this time. with the legis-
lature in session, the interests of a
number of the people, whether they
are taxpayers or rent payers, goes
toward the subject of taxation. Tax
alton is really the basis or foundation
of government, and what appears to
be needed is a system to be adopted
that will meet with the approval OF
everybody, for the taxation subject
has so many sides to it. But it ap-
pears to be the general consensus OF
opinion that the system that is needed
is the one that will best suit the state
bringing in sufficient revenue for the
running of the government yet making
equitable rates that will suit the ma
iority of the taxpayers. From what
has been said among progressive or
ganizations of the state it appears to
be the leading thought that a thorough
revision of the taxation system IS I'M
perative.
To discuss these points is the idea
of the mass meeting. one of a series
to be held in Milford and other cities
and towns in the state. There should
be an excellent attendance for even
if a person might think that taxation
revision is unnecessary it is a bOunden
duty to hear the latest expressions on
the broad subject.
It is stated that the two speakers
have the subject we'll in hand and
there should be a rousing meeting.
