CHARLES l.. HERZOG.
{ Second unHeman and Captain OF the
Einmra.h

~UAELES j. lBUCEl HERIOG,
captain and second baseman OF
~ the New York Giants, is one OF
the most aggressive players in the
same.
In short. Ul-zos IS human pep
perbcx, and he IS So fuu Of the Ia
basco stuff tuat he has often been
accused Of being a rowdy. though he
doesn't altogether deserve the appel
lation. because his fighting spirit sell
dom takes the form Of warfare
against other players.
Buck loves 10 win. and when his
team is winning he never goes be-
yOnd Eood-natured kidding with rival
players II the Giants are losing Her
zOE. like many other players, par
ucularly Eyers and Cobb. tries TO set
the other fellows goat But it's all
in the game
HerEoE is n veteran member OF
the Giants, and one Of the few
players who have ever been sold
or traded by McGraYg and later
brought hack TO New York. In
This respect Buck f. "A three-time
Giant, for during his major league
career he has been released twice.
once 90 Boston and once TO Gin
clnnati, where he later became
manager Of the Reds.
HerzoE is thirty-two years old. the
age 1T which many players start 20
20 back. yet he stands out today as
one of the best infielders in the big
leagues. and has been going great
guns for the Giants all season. eZ-
cepting a brief period when injuries
kept him out OF the lineup. In the
matter OF baseball brains Buck is
rated as one OF the smartest players
in the business. He is 2 split-secoud
thinker all the time, and his quick
brain is one Of his greatest assets
The world series this fan Will be
HerZoE's fourth, but he has never Vet
been q member OF q worlds champion
club. for in 1871, 1912 and 1913 the
Giants lost to Boston and Philadel- .

n Emmy LEONARD and his man
X aser have become afflicted with
IL a strange case OF deafness
complicated with a sudden loss Of
eyesight. The symptoms are well de-
velopad.
They cannot hear at all the voices
Of promoters bidding for a match
with Charley White, Of this city and
fail utterly to see the Chicago man
at any turn OF the road. though he
is constantly in front OF them.
Nate Lewis is heing showered with
offers. He revels in IL because ne
accepted every one Of them with the
simple statement Go and get Leon
ard and you won't have any trouble
signing White
That's about the last that is ever
heard Of the offers Evidently 10 is
impossible 10 interest Leonard or his
manager in a White match
Tom Andrews, Of milwaukee. was
the first one in the field He offered
Leonard the first $4,000 that came
INTO the house and made the terms
so that in case of a $4,000 house
Leonard would take down so per cent
Of IT. Nothing doing.
Then came Denver. Colo, with a
sweet bid for 20 round match. The
promoter there. Johnny Corbett
wanted Whites terms for the meet
ing. He got them I'm hurry Dense
silence from Leonard
Matt Hinkel Of Cleveland, popped
into the field at that stage. He be-
gan 20 bid. got White quicEly-aud
that ended IT, Nothing stirring from
Benny
Philadelphia was wild 10 secure the
meeting and signed White. That end
ed that part Of it, Pittsburgh broke
in with an offer which Lewis ac-
cepted at once
Now comes Jack Curley. who wants
TO give Benny a small fortune for
real championship battle with the
star Chicagoan. Jack MIGHT put il
over. II anybody can.
