I think Herzog is beyoni doubt entitled to All Ameérican honors as a shortstop, though peculiarly few, if any, critics have given him this + honor.” _— POOL SELDERS INDICTED.

The only one answer to baseball is games won and lost. L. G. F.—The Red Sox have the better machine, but there is always one G. C. Alexander to be figured upon in any short. series. We wouldn’t bet a quarter against the Red Sox, nor ten cents against Alex- ander. Add shows you shouldn’t miss—The Phillies of 1915. A Peep at the Records. You've heard quite a bit this season about Alexander, Scott, Mamaux, Wood and several others in the School of Peg. You haven't heard so much about Gene Dale and Fred Toney, and yet trese two Reds deserve a place only a brief span back of Philadelphia’s fomous Seventy-Five. The Reds have not been tearing up the circuit this season, and yet Fred Toney has won 14 games with Her- zog's troupe, against 5 defeats; while Dale has blown himself to 18 vic- tories, against 10 defeats—records that place them next to Alexander eand Mamaux. Princeton isn’t expecting any more trouble from Rutgers on October 4 than you are or I would expect from 2 or 3 hungry lions. Forter Sanford isn't exactly what you'd call pointing for this game. He is merely aiming both barrels. A Yost Prophecy. Fielding Yost is out with a pro- pbecy.

Tonight's the night, the Herald and Veribest fives, will mingle | through three games of duck pins at the Aetna alleys. Both teams have passed through a hard week of prac- tice for the games, and are fit to give the battle of their lives. On the cve of the battle both cap- tains give assurances that their teams will be vietorious. Captain Edwards, with a sly wink, said this afternoon: “Watch Us.!” Captain Hornkohl is equally confident as will be seen by his prediction: “Nothing. to it.”” ' The games will comenceé at 8:15 o’clock and both teams will be accompanied by cheering squads. when LOOKING FOR FIGHT.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 17.—The pitching of Robert Harmon was too inviting and breakable yesterday for the fine faculty of the Giants for wasting op- portunities to count materially against them, and they beat the Pirates 8 to 4. Usually a day off for the Giants means a slump in their play- ing, but that wasn't the case follow- ing yesterday’s vacation, for the New Yorkers already were at the bedrock bottom of a slump and could not become any slumpier. They jumped in and won today, and, facing the pitching of Hickory Beb, hit the ball o hard that the stitching crack- ed under the strain, r. h. e ve+0..110000150—8 16 1 ve000.200000002—4 11 8 Batteries—Stroud, Tesreau and Meyers; Harmon, Adams, Slattery and Gibson and Murphy, New York Pittsburgh ANNEX VS, PIRATES, The Annex will play the Pirates at Wainut Hilj park Baturday afternoon, in the last game between these twe teams the Aanex were victorieus after @ hard fight and the Pirates will work hard te even up the series tomorrow pfternoon, Pehmidt and Mack will form the battery for the Pirates while Bcheidier and Holleran will work fer the Annex, The game will start at 8 o'clock. | WUXTREE, WUXTREE, GOTCH RETIRES Famous Wrestler Announces for Steenth Time His Retirement from Wrestling Game, Boston, Sept. 17.—Frank Gotch's . retirement from the mat game jis defl- nite and certain, according to a letter received yesterday bp George Tuoh- ey, the Boston promoter, from Emil Xlank, manager of the world cham- pion catch-as-catch-can wrestler. Tuohey has been trying to get Gotch to wrestle and practically stood ready to meet the champlion’s price of $35,- 000 for his share of the purse to meet some high grade perfdrmer. The venture would have been financed by the BEastern A. A, Inc.,, and the plan was to have the contest decided on one of the Boston baseball parks. In spite of his disappointment, Tuohey is going ahead with hig big cutdoor carnivals, the first of which takes place next Monday night on the new Braves' fleld, when Charley Cut- ler, the big Chicago = wrestler, will meet Edmund Gestmann, with -Kari Lemie, Cyclone Burns and Michalloff, the Cossack, paired against sterling performers in the preliminaries. Mahmout, the Bulgarian, is still alive and will return to this country in November. GUY NICKALLS WILL, K RETURN. New Haven, Sept. 17.—~Guy Nick- alls, the Yale crew coach, has writ- ten to friends hcre stating that he will return to Yale this fall and take charge of the ccaching of the Eli row- ing squad again. Fear has been felt that Nickalls would be drawn into the war, especially in view of the fact that he told the Yale Rowing com- mittee when he left here in July that he would offer hie services to his country on his arrival in England. As he is more than fifty years old and has suffered a broken arm several years ago, his offer to go to the front was declined. Nickalls however, has held 2 responsible position in a car- tridge factory during the summer, and feels that he has contributed gomething to the cause of his nation. His letter states that he will arrive here soon after October 1. He will immediately set the oarsmen to work. TYGERS WIN FIRST IN CRUCIAL SERIES Red Sox Twirlers Use Bean Ball— Cobb Hit With Bottle Boston, Sept. 17.—In the roughest game of baseball Bostonians have looked upon in some years, not even" excepting the alleged riots in which National league clubs were partiei- rants, Detroit trimmed the Red Sox vesterday, 6 to 1.
