 for Labor Day Card

Plans for a Labor Day Smoker card are now being made by the To- cal American Legion post, it was announced today by Post Com mander E. F. Hermann. They are in charge of MT. Hermann, M. H. Sides and J. T. Petrich.
 c. F. Brown has been selected by the Committee to act as match maker for the event and will have complete charge of making up the card. Brown is an experienced promoter and already has a line on several good men who have expres- sed willingness to go on.
 Brown said today he expected to close a deal with two good light heavyweights within a short time, for headliner. There are three or four available and the best of the lot will be selected. Applica- tion has already been made by the Post for a permit to hold the smok- CT and there seems to be no ques- tion that it will be issued at once by the Territorial Boxing Commis- sion as it has the approval of T. J Mccartney, local representative oi the Board.

APOPLExY, NOT DR0W MING, IS
 CAUSE OF END
Apoplectic Stroke Cause of Death of Gus Johnson
 at Tee Harbor

Apoplexy and not drowning was Johnson at Tee Harbor Sunday ev- ening This was the verdict reach ed yesterday afternoon by a cor onor's jury impaneled by United States Commissioner Charles Sey of Douglas acting in place of Judge Frank A. Boyle while the latter is in the hospital.
 pr. w. w. Council testified that death probably was caused by a cerebral hemorrhage. There was no water in the lungs and the general appearance of the body in- dicated an apoplectic stroke. The stroke, it was said, probably was caused by the shock of remaining in cold water too long.
 Johnson had been in. swimming with several companions and re- mained after the others left the water. He was missed by them on their return to the beach and his body was discovered floating short distance from shore. It was re- covered by Holgar Larsen.
 Johnson was a native of Ronne- by, Sweden, being born there in 1890. He had resided here several years. A brother, Victor Johnson resides at Fritz Cove where he has a homestead. Other surviving rela- tives include: brother, Swan Johnson, Ashcroft, B. O., four sis ters, Mrs. Alma Hander, New York City, Mrs. Agnes Sundberg, Mrs Sugne Salm, Sweden, and one other, Lillian Johnson whose ad- dress is unknown.
 Funeral services for Johnson will be held at D. m Wednesday from the Resurrection Lutheran Church, Rev. Harry R. Allen officiating.

Despair of Managers in
About Six Leagues
Reaches Swat Heights.
IMPROVES IN FIELD
Hall of 400 Fame May
Have Another Hero.
BY BERT DEMBY

CHICAGO, Aug. IT. Can Floyd
G. Babe) Herman, whose clumsi-
ness in the past has been the despair
Of managers in at least six leagues
in which he has played, become the
fifth 400 hitter in modern baseball
history?
Until this year, a prediction that
Herman would take his place along
side Rogers Hornsby, George Sisler,
Harry Heilmann and Ty Cobb
would have been laughed at as hard
as thousands of fans once laughed
at the Babes awkward movements
on the field.
But the way Herman Is batting
now it would not be surprising to
see him finish the seaeon above the
400 mark, If he does this he will
achieve an honor which many have
tried for but only four have at
tanned.
Blossoms Into Star
That the Babe suddenly should
blossom into one of baseball's stars
is the greatest surprise of the year.
Until recently he was an awkward
fielder, so awkward in fact that he
had been guilty on more than one
occasion of allowing batted ball to
hit him while he was trying to field
it.
But with the improvement in bat
ting Herman has become a different
player all around. Of course, he is
no Iris Speaker in the field, but
on the other hand, he is far from
being the clumsy player he was even
as late as last fall.
He's Real CIouter
Perhaps the secret of his success
at the plate is his straight-away
hitting. In the Robins last visit
here he went through four games
without hitting what might be
termed fly ball. His every drive
either was sizzling liner or a hard
hit grounder. Twice he hit line
drives within six feet of Woody Eng
lish, Cubs shortstop, which were
past English before the shortstop
could move.
Recently Herman hit line drive
which cleared the center field fence
in Cincinnati and that fence is
about 40 feet from the plate.
AS matters stand now, Herman is
batting Alb and has less than fifty
games to go. If he can obtain two
hits out of each five times at bat
for the rest of the season then
Hornsby, Cobb, Sisler and Heilman
must move over and give him room
on their bench.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17.-This
world is just full of unfeeling and
unsympathetic folk who are up to
all sorts of conjecture and surmise.
For example, there are those who
say that the Philadelphia National
League ball club erected a twelve
foot screen over the celebrated
right field wall recently to stave off
expected salary demands by Chuck
Klein in 1880.
These people insist that with
Klein going the way he was in the
Philadelphia park it was poor bust
ness to build that screen while the
boys were in the west, poor business
unless the club sought no protracted
financial negotiations with Klein
during the winter
At first blush this charge seems
without foundation. But then again
there may be a little understanding
among some of the magnates to dis

Always Good New Ones
And each year it gets tougher,
too, for 1t seems to me that each
year the crop OF new players VINO
come up are a little better than
the fellows of the year before.
The boys were taking ABOUT the
team in the clubhouse the other
day and Sam Byrd remarked:
well, this. year, Babe, I suppose
most of your team will be mace up
of Chicago Cub and Athletic play
ers. They seem to be the stand
outs"
Maybe those two clubs will have
a majority of the men and maybe
they won t. You know the fact
that a team wins a pennant doesn't
mean, necessarily, that that team
has a lot of stars at the various
positions. What it takes to win a
pennant is balance-and a tall-end
team is apt to have a few indi-
vidual performers who can do their
particular JOB better than any men
on the pennant winner.
Not a Star, but Valuable
There's a lot of difference be-
tween picking a team where the
men are the best at their position in
the league, and picking a team OF
men who have been most valuable
to their club. A fellow like Jimmy
Dykes. for instance, is a mighty
valuable man to his club, yet Jimmy
doesn't rate as the best second
baseman or the best third baSeman
or the best first baseman in base
ball by a long ways.
ANYHOW, what I started out 10
saw is that the further this all
America selection goes, the tougher
it gets and the keener the competl-
ton for places. When I started
picking the team there were fell
lows like Cobb and Speaker and
Schalk and Sewell and Hornsny,
who were standouts. You couldn't
keep them of. They were as nat
ural as anything.
Today there aren't SO many OF
those "naturals" left. There are
two or three, sure enough-two or
three fellows who will place on any
mans team, and who rate with the
stars of all time. But where you've
got three men like that, you've got
six others to pick who are nip and
tuck.
When you've got FORKS. Terrys'
Gehrigs for first base; Lazzerls'
Hornsbys, Gehringers for second;
Kamms. Lindstroms. Traynors'
whitnevs and Frichs for third-well'
