With Mathewson comes two of his teammates. Outfielder Roush and Inflelder McKechnie, and New York obtains Charles Herzog, mahager of the local team, who was a member of the Giants before coming to Cin- cinnati. Outflelder Wade Killifer also goes to the New York culb. Some years ago Manager McGraw of the Giants established the rule that he would never ask Mathewson to re- tire from a game in which he was pitching. In principle this rule was adhered to to the last. A statement ssued by President Hempstead of the Giants yesterday revealed the fact that it was not until Matty had asked for permission to negotiate for a managerial berth that the Idea of trading him entered their minds. Although the deal involved only the two Cincinnati men for the three New York players was completed President announced that Mathewson would be in charge of the team, day. The deal was consummated at noon vesterday, after a two-hour confer- ence between Presidents and Hempstead and Graw of the Giants. ade had been practically agreed upon a couple days ago, but New York insisted upon attaching a string to Mathew- son, which would subject him to recall two years. At the conference Hempstead and McGraw finally agreed to allow Mathewson to hecome the exclusive property of the Cincinnati club. Immediately after the conference McGraw conferred with Herzog, the latter agreeing to all points in trade. He signed a three-year Manager The t Mec- team a moment after !tl Herrmann | beginning to- | Herrmann | the con- ! tract same { managir it said, calls for the ry that he received while the Cincinnati club, $10,- 000 a year. Herzog has been mana- ger of the Reds since the season of | 1914. He probably will play third | base for the Giants, his old position | on that team. Ivy Wingo, catcher and captain of the Reds, took charge of the team today in the double-header with Phil- adelphia, Herzog having signed with New York before the first game. Matheéwson was still in Chicago. President Hempstead late yester- | day made the following ¥tatement: | | | which, “I wish to announce the release of Christy Mathewson to the Cincinnati Baseball club. My good wishes for | his success are niingled with many regrets that he will leave the New York Baseball club. For many years the New York public have enjoyed the games in which he has partici- pated and have given him their un- qualified support, good-will, and re- | spect. “The New York fans hold Mathew- | son with the highest regard, but not more so than I or the entire man- agement of the Giants. His faithful service, his high regard for the or- gznization, have placed him in our hearts as well as in our minds, and there was no thought of relinquish- ing his servicek under any circign- stances until the Cincinnati club requested permission for him to aot as their manager. Mathewson earnestly requested this privilege, and, feeling that it was due him for his past services, under these conditions I most reluctantly con- sented “I certainly wish him well in his ne of endeavor and trust that s name will stand as high as a manager it has as a ball player and izen of the United States.” President Herrmann of the Cin- cinnati club said: | “We expect great things through the | new deal. McGraw himself says that in securing Roush we get one of the bhest outfielders in the country, | Roush being both fast and a hard | hitter What we need is speed. The manager cannot make up all the | speed of the team, and by securing | Roush we add some more speed to the outfield In addition to this trade y we expect to make several other ' trades in an effort to add more strength to the team. These trades will be made before the team starts cast.” to trade as | ac 1.—The old master Matty's days as a Chicago, July has departed If ciga was music MECCAS'd be | row's game will find Baseball | Giant are ended.
