Clubs Are Voting.

rr ERRMANN is quoted in Gin
cinnati as being confident
- that Benton can be saved to
the Reds by a majority vote of
National League club owners. He
admits that President Heydler
personally does not wish to see
Benton return to his league, but
he believes only one club owner
Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsburgh
is supporting Heydler.
According to- Hermann, the
mail vote is Being taken now,
and he understands that the New
York and Brooklyn clubs have
returned votes favorah'~ to Ben
ton.
1t is known, however, that at
least three, and perhaps four,
clubs are not in sympathy with
Hermann. In fact, some Of the
club owners severely criticize the
Cincinnati man for making a
public fight on this issue after he
knew the sentiment in the league.
Renton's case was discussed at
the annual meeting a few weeks
ago.
In case of. a tie in the voting
Heydler will cast the deciding
ballot. Everybody knows where
Heydler stands in this matter.
Ban Johnson was almost
dragged into the thick of the fight
last week when he was a visitor
TO- Cincinnati. Bane however,
sldestepped. Both johnson and
Benton were in Cincinnati last
Friday. They met in the ante
room of Herrmann's office, but
did not exchange greetings. Herr
mann was not in at the time.
johnson made an appointment for
a later hour and failed to keep it.

ton, after, making serious charge
reflecting on my honesty, cannot
prove it, he should be thrown
out.
That seemed to be a fair
proposition. Herzog invited the
investigation; in fact, he precipi-
tated it. The burden of proof
was on Benton.
The charges were not substan-
tiated in any way, yet the Ma
tiOnal League permitted both men
to remain in the league. Herzog
was shipped to the minors q year
later and Benton followed in
1921. Neither was let out until
their employers were convinced
they had fallen below the major
league standard Of playing eff
ficiency.
League Made Mistake.
"AD the National League

thing then there would be
no ghosts of the Herzog- Benton
affair arising now to annoy the
magnateS.
President Heydler has carefully
explained that the Herzog Incl
dent is not at issue and that
Benton is undesirable for other
reasons. Herzog won't have 1t so.
He asserts that Herrmann's state
ment declaring that Benton
should have had a gold medal for
refusing a bride and a subsequent
sighting reference to the players
who were alleged to have offered
it, brings him in again.
At present Herzog is employed
as a baseball writer on a Balti-
more newspaper. He rendered his
resignation after hearing Herr
mann's statement last week. It
was not accepted. So he has now
retained counsel and is preparing
to start legal action.
