The fact that last nights

Buck HerzOg Dies
In Baltimore at 68;
In Majors 80 Years
By the Assoeintad Pra,s

BALTIMORE, Sept. 5.-Charles
L. (Buck) Herzog, storied base
ball figure of yesteryear. died
last night at Baltimore City hos
pitals.
The 68-year-old former Ma
tional League infielder was ad-
mitted to the hospital last
January with advanced tubercu-
losis.
Herzog'S colorful 30-year
career in the major leagues in
cluded tours as player or man
ager with the New York Giants,
Chicago Cubs, Boston Braves
and Cincinnati Reds.
The longtime resident of
Baltimore had been found sick
and penniless in the lobby of
small hotel here and was taken
to the hospital with what doc
tors said was an extremely ad-
vanced stage of tuberculosis.
When his financial plight and
illness were made known in jan
uary, old friends Larry Mac
Phail, former New York Yankees
owner, and Baseball Commits
sioner Ford Frick rallied to his
aid. However, the city took care
of his hospital bills.
Herzog helped make baseball
history when he played for the
New York Giants in the days of
John McGraw.
But, since January at least,
he hasn't taken much interest in
baseball, hospital attendants
said. He didn't do much read
ing and didn't seem to enjoy
radio or televiSion.
During his active baseball days,
Herzog played in four world Sc
rieS, one of them as a Giant
against the Philadelphia Ath-
letics in 1913. He was field cap
tain of the Cubs two seasons.
He recently recalled I'VE got
medals for winning Is straight"
Hospital officials said this was
the second time Herzog had been
to the hospital.

Fading Giants Lucky
To Finish Fifth After.
Losing II Of Last 40
By the Associated Press

One of the biggest disappoint-
ments of the 1858 baseball season
for the experts has been the sad
showing of the New York Giants.
The Giants, who won a host
Of new friends with their trium-
phant drive to the pennant in
1851, were picked as a solid third
place entry with a good chance
of nudging Philadelphia out of
second. These judgments were
given by men closely connected
with the sport who watched the
clubs during spring training.
At their present rate the
Giants are going to be lucky to
finish as high as fifth. They
are % games behind Brooklyn,
only AZ in front of sixth-place
Cincinnati and deteriorating
rapidly.
Collapse Started Early.
Right from the start they
haven't looked good. Their sup
porters brushed aside the weak
beginning with the excuse that
teams managed by Leo Durocher
are slow starters more often than
not. Echoes of the Giants VIC
tory song, which blared from
every corner two years ago. were
being heard again in July when
the club finally edged into the
first division. For two weeks the
Giants were in fourth more often
than fifth.
But with August came the real
breakdown. They have won only
13 games since August l and
they've lost q, dragging their
overall average from a respect
able .543 to a mediocre .478.
Sal Maglie lost his touch
Monte Irwin was hurt, Hank
Thompson was hurt, the pitching
staff generally went to pieces
AL Worthington, a pitcher the
Giants had been warned wasn't
ready for the majors, was
brought up from Minneapolis in
July. He broke in sensationally
with two shutouts. Now he's
lost six straight.

Worthington started last night

Curly Lambeau Guns
For Upset Against
His Former Club
By Lewis F. Atchison
Stur Stoff CORRESPONDENT


GREEN BAY. Wis, Sept. s.
Still looking for their first VIC
tory on the transforming cir
cult, the Redskins tangle with
the Packers here tonight.
Between $4,000 and 10000 fans
are expected to turn out for the
exhibition.
The kickoff is scheduled for
10 o'clock washington time)
and the game will be broadcast
in the District over WMAL with
Jimmy Gibbons describing the
play-by-play.
Tonight marks the Redskins
first appearance here in 16 years
and it is regarded as quite an
occasion. On their last visit
they represented Boston. That
was 1886, the year Curly Lam
beau coached the Packers to
their fourth National Football
League title. Tonight the vet
eran coach will be cunning for
his former teams scalp.
Baugh Never Played Here.
It is only incidental, but Green
Bay fans never saw Sammy
Baugh play here even though
the Texan hung up a record of
16 years in pro football while
playing for the Redskins.
Lambeau hasn't licked the
Packers since leaving town and
his charges will be the under
dogs again tonight. AS coach of
the Chicago Cardinals. Lambeau
lost exhibition games to the
Packers, now directed by Gene
Ronzani. Last year the Redskins
were beaten in an exhibition and
a league game by the Packers.
Tonight's game is a home
coming for big Paul Lipscomb
and roly-poly Jack Cloud, Red
skins tackle and linebacker, re-
spectively. They first made good
in pro football here and both
looked forward to this visit.
LipscOmb Eager to Win.
I'D rather win this one than
a championship playoff," Lip
scomb told his teammates. I'm
gonna give 'em everything"
Cloud and Lambeau were not
as emphatic, but one could see
that they took more than a
casual interest in the affair.
Lambeau expects a heavy pass
ing attack by Green Bay and
has concentrated on stopping it.
The Packers are reported to be
somewhat weak in the middle of
the line and must depend on
passes for their long yardage.
Green Bay also will be weakened
by the absence of Fullbacks
Bobby Jack Floyd and Fred Cone,
Halfback Don Barton and End
Bill Murray, all out with injuries.
Two former Redskins, Tackle
Len Szafaryn and Halfback Dan
Sandifer. are expected to appear
in the Packer lineup. Szafaryn
is back for his first full season
after several years of military
duty in Japan.
Packers Split in Exhibitions.
The Packers whipped the New
York Giants, 81 to 7, in their
first outing and took a 13-to-7
defeat from the Cardinals in the
second. They probably will be
one-touchdown favorites over the
Redskins, who bowed to Los An
geles, 20 to 7, and to San Fran
cisco, z to 0, in their previous
starts.
With Quarterback Eddie Le-
Baron sidelined with an ailing
knee. Maryland's Jack Scarbath
will handle all the quarterback
ing tonight. Charlie Justice,
Julie Rykovich and Chuch Dra-
zenovich are expected to be in
the starting backf1eld.

Yanks Here Tonight
And Tomorrow ON
Final Visit OF So
By Burton Hawkins

The Mats chief tormentors.
the Yankees, move into Griffith
Stadium tonight and even before
activity starts in the two-game
series the Mats have reason to
be grateful. They won't tangle
with Ed Lopat. who specializes
in heaping misery on Clark Grit
fith's employees.
Unless Lopat is pressed into a
relief role the Mats have seen
the last of him for this season.
which is agreeable with the party
of the second part. Lopat
whipped them six times this year
in as many attempts and hasn't
lost to Washington since June,
1851.
They'll be exposed tonight to
the curves of Whitley Ford, seek
ing a 17th victory. And tomor-
row, when the clubs battle for
the final time, the Mats will be
opposed by Jim Mcdonald, who
blanked them on four hits in his
last attempt.
Masterson Seeks 10th.
Walter Masterson. bidding for
a 10th win, will take the mound
for the Mats tonight. The game
will be televised by Station
WTTG, Channel 5.
The Yankees have been rude
to the Mats in general. capturing
IA of 20 games, administering
a 22-1 walloping in one instance,
and blasting Washington pitch
ing for % home runs.
The champions also have en-
barrassed the Mats individually.
They've inflicted half of Bob Por-
terfield's 10 defeats. Mickey Ver-
non, battling for the American
League batting championship, is
only a .289 hitter against the
Yankees but he's a huge success
compared to Jackie Jensen, bat
ting 1852 against his former
teammates.
Still, the Mats could salvage
some satisfaction by taking both
games. That would give them a
6-5 edge over the Yankees at
Griffith Stadium and serve to
Soothe the pain of nine beatingS
in II games at New York.
Snyder at ShortstOp.
Pete Runnels, nursing a heavy
cold, is expected to ride the bench
against the lefthanded Ford, with
Jerry Snyder taking over at
shortstop. Runnels may return to
the lineup tomorrow against the
righthanded Mcdonald.
Forgotten man of the Mats is
little Pompeyo Davillo, ,Vene-
zuelan shortStop who Saw no ac-
tion on the Mats final western
trip when they won seven of 10
games.
Regardless of the harsh treat
ment inflicted by the Yankees,
the Mats need their influence at
the gate. The Yankees have at
tracted an average of 14,497 GUS
toners to their games here, near
ly double the average of other
visiting clubs.
Pitcher Bob Porterfield, whose
back was hurt in Friday nights
game at Chicago. apparently
isn't injured as severely as at
first feared. His back is heavily
taped, but the trouble apparently
is nothing more serious than a
strained muscle. It may be neces-
sary for him to skip mis- sched-
uled appearance in one of the
games against Philadelphia
Monday.
