ern league to the big show for the
first time in his career the little fell
low has understudied Charley Herzog
until he has gained a reputation that
some day will carry him into position
as regular
Pete did his first work as a regular
for the Giants when Herzog tried to
kick a piece of chewing gum for a
goal and landed on the crown OF his
back in a Philadelphia railway sta
ton. He was out for several days.
KiIduff went in. ielded and hit at high
speed and Immediately became a popu-
lar Giant.
Recently the Herzog back again de-
veloped a kink and kilduf went back
with such gusto and success that he 5
more solid than ever. Understanding
Charley Herzog with any degree of
success is quite a little task. but Kill
iuff has done it.
Two heavy hitting baseball clubs are

for their heavy clubs. and the same
fan will tell you it hasn't been many
moons since the Dodgers welded ter

Today Cravath. Whitfield and Luder-

Often 1t happens that a change of
clubs makes a ball player all over

that men refused by one club have
blossonaed into regular beings when
hitched TO another. The cases Of Dick

NEW YORK, July 31.-The punch
may yet come back to boxing in the Far
West.
Gregory Mitchell. formerly Sunny
Jim Coffroth's right-hand man in stag
ing some of California's biggest bouts,
is making noises like a promoter. and
is said to have leased the bull-ring at
Tia Juana. Mexico. for bouts.
Mitchell. according to reports. wants
TO give the public 20-round bouts with
a decision tackled onto every one of
them. No promises. he declares. have
been made to boxers. but he expects to
start out modestly in September.
In connection with the idea OF Greg
ory Mitchell 1t might be mentioned
that the promoters who cut the throat
OF their golden New York goose proba-
bly, will witness, as the result of their
avarice a revival of the good old
times" in the west.
Several western centers may legally
stage bouts. with decisions. Removing
the no-decision feature from boxing
probably would be equivalent to boost
ing 1t immensely.
The old Western league. one of the
oldest minor circuits. is wavering. The
ST. Joseph club has been transferred
TO Hutchinson, and g general makeover
may become necessary.
Miller Higgins. tiny leader of the
Cardinals, has it all doped out for
close finish in the National league de-
spite the steamroller tactics of the
Giants.
Higgins believes the Reds squirt has
only started. and that his own club will
have considerable to say before it is all
over.

NEW YORK. July 3o.-It may be
that the deal which sent Lee Magee to
the st. Louis Browns and brought Ar
mando Marsans from the Browns TO
the Yankees will be the saving Of two
fine ball players.
When Magee was member of the
Cardinals he was conceded 70 be one of
the finest ball players in the game.
Likewise when Marsans was member
Of the Cincinnati Reds - was acknowl-
edged to be one Of the real whizzes
among outfielders.
Then both players took a leap TO the
Federal league, where Magee imnedi-
ately began to hit and field like a hend
at the same time being hooked TO a
job as manager of the Brooklyn club.
It was said for Magee that he was
