IHERzOG AND BAKER RECEIVE
 SUSPENSIONS FOR DIS0BED|ENCE
Yankee Player Disciplined for Failure to Appear Here
 Sunday In Exhibition Game

pline. Herzog has been suspended without pay because he has disobeyed orders. When the Giants went West for the second time, this year Herzog asked to be allowed to remain home. The clubs physician examined him and declared that nothing was the matter with him..
 Manager McGraw and I persuaded Herzog to go on that trip, telling him that his presence in uniform, even if he didn't play, would inspire the other members of the team.
 "Herzog went on the trip and play ed his position, although he was not requested to do so. When the re- cent series with the Philadelphia club ended at the Polo Grounds, Herzog again notified Manager McGraw that he 1odidnt want to play during the present Western trip.
 "McGraw, who was anxious to have the winning fof the pennant determin- ed as Soon as possible, asked Herzog to accompany the team, if only, to en- courage the players. He told Herzog that as soon as the Giants won the de- ciding game he. Herzog, could go to his home in Maryland and remain un- til the worlds series.
 '-The clubs physician again told us that nothing serious ailed Herzog ex- cept, perhaps, nervous tension, so that agreed with McGraw in his desire to have Herzog go West with the team.
 s"A week ago Saturday Herzog. left the Giants without securing the con sent of Manager McGraw, and he is still absent. AS discipline must pre- vail in, the management of the club, there was nothing left for us to do but to suspend Herzog without pay.
 .1 sincerely hope that Herzog will realize his position and the mistake he has made and that soon he will re- join his team"
 If Herzog retires from the game it will hurt the Giants chances in the worlds series with the White Sox. He is the key around which the team has been built, and no other single player out of the lineup would affect the team as much.
 Herzog has a contract that calls for another year of playing at $10, 1000 per season. Up to the time he was in- jured he was playing the best ball of his career, and undoubtedly after a sufficient rest he would be able to dis play the same brand that featured Ns work in the early spring. Baker. however, appears to be reaching the end of his major league career.s@ Although the Trappe Mauler still cam slug thesball his fe1ding has been far below par this year. The big fellow can cover very little ground l-and, as a matter of fact. Roger Peck inpaugh- practically has been playing both short and third for the Yan- kees.
 Baker has proven costly invest ment for Col. Ruppert and Capt. Hus- ton. They paid Connie, Mack $37.- 300 for his release and gave him a three-year contract that calls for near. l ly $10,0O0 a year.

New York. Sept. IS. - Yesterday ATas a great day of suspensions. Home Run Baker, the Yankees famous Islugger, and Charley Herzog, captain and second baseman Of the, Giants were set down for the balanA of the vear. It is not unlikely that both of these athletes will retire from base
 ball as a result
 Bakers suspension was announced and Yankees at the Polo Grounds. He gvvas given ticket to Bridgeport and l0rdered to be there in time to play an exhibition game Sunday. He did mot show up. Yesterday, when he re- ported at the Polo Grounds, Manager Donovan informed him that Fritz iMaiseI< was to play third base for the next few days at least.
 ' The Home Run King became peev- ped and announced that he would take iof his uniform rather than sit on the Ibench. Donovan warned him that if he did so he would automatically sus- pend himself. But Baker shed his kunic and let the Polo Grounds.
 \ When Colonel Jake Ruppert, pres ddept of the club, was informed of Bakers actions, he announced that ythe athlete was suspended and that lhe would draw no more salary this season. A personal friend of Baker s -laaid last night Ehat J. Franklin has ifntimated that he will quit baseball lns a result of his suspensions
 The case of Herzog is much more irnudd1ed. It seems that the second sbaseman of the Giants; left the team after the recent series with the Phil f1ies and went to his home in Ridgely Md He announced before leaving ithat heswas in broken in health as the result of a fall in the Pennsylvania 1stations here on April 25, as the Giants lwere entering for Philadelphia
 x Last week he received word from tPfesident Harry Hampstead, of the New York Club, that he, must frejoin tho team in time to make the pres jentl Western trip of the team. Her !zog wired back that he was in unfit .conditian and that 1t would be inn spossfbla for him to TetQSxl to the team. fThereupon Hempstead sus- kpended. the player by telegraph, as- fsigning breach of contract as the cause.
 And now Herzog comes out with the announcement that he is through lvfth the Giants, that he will not re- !join the team during the remainder sof the National League season, and sthat he will not play in the worlds :series. In fact, he practically de- IcIares that he is through with the game for good and all.
 The player contends that after being injured he continued playing ball to the detriment of his health, sand fulfilled his obligations by per- forming until the pennant was icinched He will, therefore, insist on }being paid his salary in full, and if {n&cessary will press his case before iffie National Commission.

KAUFF'S HOMER IS
 FATAL TO HOPES
 OF CHICAGO TEAM

Chicago, Sept. 1S-Tme1y hitting and splendid fielding behind the air tight pitching of Ferdinand Schupp gave the Giants a victory in the open ing game of the series with the Cubs yesterday. 5 to O. McGraws men made only six hits, but four of them figured in the scoring, and they also profited by the unsteadinessN of their opponents in tight places.
 Schupp twirIed magnificent game, bowling along with scarcely an effort and keeping the six hits which he al lowed so well scattered that the Cubs never had a real opportunity to upset him. One of the hits with which the Cubs were credited was a short fly that dropped between Robertson and Smith and which either could have caught but for a misunderstanding. Anoth- CT was a looping drive to right that Robertson lest in the sun and which went for a. two-base! hit.
 Opposed to Schupp at the start of the pastime was Phil Douglas, who fingered for only six innings and who was nicked for three runs before he abandoned the contest. Phil struck out five men in the first four innings, but he could not hold the pace.
 Smith singled, with one out, in the fifth, and promptly stole second, after which he went on to third on pass ed ball. Ho1ke walked, and was forced by McCarty. but Smith scored on the play. In the following frame Robertson beat ou ta perfect bunt af- ter Burns had been expunged.
 Benny Kauff connected with a fast ball and drove it over the right-field wall and into the areaway of house across the street from the park, Rob- ertson crossing the plate ahead of him. Douglas stayed in the box long enough to get the side out, and then quit for the day. Pechous batted for, him in the sixth, and Walker, a recruit hurl- CT, went to the hill in the seventh

K. Q. EGGERS HOLDS
 HERMAN TO DRAW

Philadelphia, Sept 1s-Champion Pete Herman and K. O. Eggers fought six fast rounds here last night at the Olympia A. A., with honors even at the final bell. Herman proved the better boxer, while Egger's best work was performed in clinches. Eggers hit the champion terrific body blow in the third round. Herman appeal ed to the referee, who allowed the blow, which was 8 fair one. Eggers claimed Herman's forfeit and imme- diately turned it over. to the Philadel- phia Red Cross Fund. Eggers weigh ed 116, Herman 118.

management was not at fault nor the New York club either. The local
 management did not advertise Baker to appear until Manager Donovan had wired the Yankee lineup, in which Bakers name appeared. It has since been learned that Baker was refused permission to go to his home Sunday and instead was ordered to come to this city. He disobeyed orders, so he has been suspended by he Yankee manager. It is time some of these players who draw large salaries for a few hours daily labor learned that they are supposed to attend to busi- ness, the same as any other per son.,

OLD ROSEBUD BY
 BURST OF SPEED E: WINS AT AQUEDuCT

New York, Sept. 18-Old Rosebud picked up 133 pounds, and. running one of the greatest races of his re- markab1e career onN the American turf, won the Bayview Handicap at Aqueduct yesterday in the track re- cord time of 1:44 3-5 for the mile and a sixteenth. The six-year-o1d son of Uncle raced right to the front when the barrier was released and, shaking off Capra, the only one which could keep pace with him for six furlongs, half way down the stretch came away to win galloping by two lengths.
 It was striking performance, and a number of horesmen expressed the opinion that the gelding, which ranks at the top among the older horses of the year, had never run a better race
 The applause which greeted the horses as they parAded to the post, the exultant roar which went up as Old Rosebud swept to victory, and the outburst as he came cantering back to the scales, spoke loudly for higher quality of racing than was enjoyed at Belmont Park
 The inclosure at Aqueduct is not so spacious as the one at Belmont Park and the accomm odations are inferior. In spite of this the Monday crowd at Aqueduct yesterday was bigger and far more enthusiastic than any week day crowd at Belmont Park, and not far behind in numbers the Saturday crowds at the home of the Jockey Club. It is not necessary to search for a reason. The answer came in the stronger fields and better balanc- ed program.
 Old Rosebud has not been seen un- der coIors since the first week of the Saratoga meeting, when, after a dis appointing race in the Saratoga Handicap, he came back two or three days later and beat Capra and Roamer among others. The rest has done him world of good, and Frank Weir sent him to the post yesterday in perfect condition. It is hoped that he will be seen in other races at Aq- ueduct.

WALTER JOHNSON FOR CLEVELAND IS
 NEWEST REPORT

Baltimore, Md, Sept. 1S-1tJohnson's contract of $1s,5O0 expires this season and the speed king has made up his mind not to sign unless Griffith comes through with a ike offer, which no dosibt explains why our boss is letting his star moundsrnan go,'' said a prom inent members of the Washington American league club yesterday in discussing the reported sale of Pitcher Walter Johnson to the Cleveland Maps.
 From a reliable source of informa- ton in Washington it is learned that Griffith had been endeavoring for the last three years to have Johnson sign 1918 contract, but that the speed king refused to accept a cut in salary.
 New York, Sept. 1S.-From Baltimore came a report last night that Walker Johnson, the great pitcher of the Washington Americans, had been sold to the Cleveland club. The following telegram from Clark Griffith. manager of the Senators, explains itself:
 If Cleveland thinks they are going to get Johnson they are crazy.''%

U P A N D DO w N S P RT S TYR FEE T
TANKS WANT JOHNSON

The. Yankees declare that if Wall ter Johnson is sold byj Washington the great pitcher should be turned over to the New York outfit. The Yankees need building up and for the good of the league President Ban Johnson ought to see that the Yan- kees are allowed to buy the pitcher.
 When Capt. Huston and Col. Rup- pert bought the Yankees they were assured of assistance from other mag mates but the only club to do any thing was Detroit, which turned over High and Pipp. Although 1t is said a deal has already been closed for the sale of the pitcher to Cleveland, the announcement may be premature. as Washington lost mo1Dy this season the club cannot afford to pay any such salary ip the future. So it is a foregone conclusion that the speed king will wear another uniform in 1918.
 The Giants have signed two semi pro youngsters for trials next spring. They are F. c. Fossiaro, an 1nf1eldef from Beverly, Mass, and Mike Hogan, a pitcher from Cohoes, N. Y. Hogan has allowed only Is hits in his last seven games against strong clubs in the vicinity of Albany, N. Y.
 Maurice Shannon, who played with New Haven last year, will be given a. trial by the Athletics. Shannon was with Baltimore in the International league this season and did well. His twin brother Joe was one of New Haven's outfielders this season. The two brothers made trouble on the New Haven squad Jast year and for that reason Owner Collins let Maurice go to Baltimore last. spring. He found Joe did better work when Maurice wasn't around.
 Neal Ball of this city, who proved one of the mainstays of the New Ha- turned to his home here from the eastern exhibition trip of the club, which closed on Sunday at Newport, R. I.
 The Annex and Washington Glee club football elevens of New Haven, will play their games at Lighthouse Point in New Haven this season, in stead of at Savin Rock. Arrange ments have been made to have the clubs use the Lighthouse gridiron on alternate Sundays. Although several of the best players on these teams have been drafted for the army, the managers expect to put the usual strong aggregations in the field.
