Plugged Ahead, Losing.

For years both Mr.. Hermann and
his associate in the Cincinnati club
staunchly supported a losing PROPOSE
ton but despite this they erected a
magnificent concrete grandstand
which is known as Dedland Field.
While numerous fans have insisted
that the team would do better with
Hermann off the National commits
sion no one ever has accused the
Reds president of not doing all in
his power to gather together a pen
nant winning combination. During
his presidency, he obtained such men
as Bid McPhee, Joe Kelley, Clarke
Griffith, Hank ODay, John Camel,
Joe Tinker and Christy Mathewson
to lead his team, but it remained for
Pat Moran to succeed where the 9TH
ers had failed.
Herman probably is the best
known man to baseball men, mas
much as he has had much to do with
both major leagues as well as having
become familiar with the owners and
players of every minor league in or
ganized baseball through his position
as chairman of the commission. He
was born and raised in Cincinnati and
during his early career was a printer
on the Cincinnati Enquirer. He still
belongs to the union.
Not Superstitious, But
While Garry Herman never has
been accused of being superstitious
he let it be known during the lat
ter part of July that all plans of
the fans to do wonderful things for
the Reds if they won the pennant,
would most certainly be frowned up
on by the club management. This
brought to mind a little sidelight to
the league race of two years ago
when the Reds were almost daily al
ternatin,s between first and sealnd
positions during the middle of july.
AT that time bunch of enthusiastic
rooters started out subscription lists
to have money pledged to send the
feam on a trip around the world
and it had hardly been started be-
fore $4,000 had been pledged. No
one ever will know to what proper
tions this pool would have grown,
for at this stage the team began to
lose on their return from a disas-
trous eastern invasion they were
practically out of the race and the
pledgers never were troubled for the
money.

THE clouds are black. the thunder roars, there

other men abroad may ride and tour the smil-

HERMANN GIVEN
ADDED FAME BY
VICTORYOF REDS

CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.-(By As
sociated Press. Sixteen years ago,
on September II, 1908, the name of
August Hermann was heralded
throughout the width and breadth of
the land where baseball flourishes as
the Chief Justice of the national
pastime. At that time he was incl
IDENTIFY known as the new owner of
the Cincinnati Reds. This condition
of public mind had not changed un-
til late in July of this year when
the Reds assumed a lead in the Ma
tional League race.
Today Garry" as he is known, not
only to his intimates but to the base
ball public in general, is chiefly re-
cognlzed as President of the Reds
champions of the National League,
and only incidentally as Chairman
of the National Baseball Commission.
In this city Hermann numbers
his friends by the tens of thousands
and there are large majority of
these who do not hesitate in saying
that when baseball gained a leader
IN August Hermann, politics lost
one. He was associated with the late
George B. Cox, as a member of the
executive council of the Republican
party in Hamilton county and while
IN late years he has taken no active
interest in guiding the destinies of
the G. o. P, he still is able to WELD
an influential arm in the party con-
ferences.
How He Started.
1t was while Hermann was on of
Cox's chief lieutenants that the cues
ton of purchasing the Cincinnati
baseball club from the late John T.
Brush, was broached to him. While
ne had always been interested in base
ball, purely from a fans viewpoint,
ne never had been interested in the
club financially. The plea that the
/ club should be owned by Cincinnati
people only Brush being from In
dlanapolis), appealed to Mr.. Herr
mann and he was induced to form a
company with the object of pur-
chasing the Reds. He succeeded in
putting through the deal and this led
to his study of baseball political con-
dltlons as they then existed, the cele-
brated war between the National and
American leagues bringing up a sit
uatlon to him that he had by no
means anticipated.
Mr.. Hermann was really the prime
mover in bringing abou the peace
between the two leagues and was the
man who suggested and did the most
work on the now renowned peace
agreement which really put baseball

AMERICAS NEEDS AND MUST HAVE
INDUSTRIES.


No city-or town-can be that is dependent
snieiy and entirely on one industry or rather only
ans source Of income, as we are.
Dependent entirely upon cotton, our eco
snnic independence depends entirely upon cot
a1n When cotton is prosperous, we, too are
prosperous When the tables are turned-as is
the case this year-the whole body polite suffers.
And the remedy is simple-so simple that it is
wonder that any city or should place its entire
seI-being on one single source of income.
For years we business of the city have
sried ''DIVERSIFICATION'' to the farmers, yet
we have neglected the beam in eyes while
sndeavoring to remove the mote in the eye of our
brother of the farm.
A few afternoons ago number of prominent
and progressive Anericus merchants business
uner-were in conference. One asked this ques
lion:
What does our city need above all else right
At this time-what would do US the most good?"
The answer came quickly and from more
han one present-A WEEKLY PAY ROLL.
Give Americus an industry of some kind
no matter how small the beginning. Give us some
hing beside cotton for our dependence.
As beginning, suggest packing plant, y
sne of those present said "A plant with large cold
storage facilities and smaller killing capacity, to
begin with. There are hundreds of things we
would raise in this section if there place to
store them where they woud be preserved There
now we must do without. There are thousands of
dollars that our merchants would make that they
gan not have because of this very serious lack.
