Moto. CYCLE Cop Buy IT AND Your Gasouns Since Charlie Came to Polo Grounds the New York Club Has Won Four Straight Games — Another Double-Header To-Day. By Bozeman Bulger. AN you explain the spark in Charlie Herzog that has “lit” up the Giants? Perhaps his 1s the most pointed case of individualism yet seen in baseball, Coming in as an outsider and reallzing that there might ‘be Jealousy against him, the Maj nder has spurred his new team mates on to stage where they actually be- Meve they have a chance for the National League pennant. You can- not deny that; neither can you prove it. It cannot be said that Herzog’s de- fensive play has been perfect, and there has been aothing spectacular about his hitting, Sti, he has fig- ured directly or indirectly in the turning point of every close game, has put pep into the whole shebang, and right now takes up the greater part of New York's spotlight, What Is it? An official of the New York Club asked that same question after tho biggest crowd of the season had H z z Hi 2 F years, boxing bouts in at Ashtabula, O, At City Council there an ing for ten-round boute z i Hereafter the Marlem Sporting Club of Mam. mole will stage two tenound events at every show, ‘The now schedule will be introduced to- morrow night when Jimmy Coffey, the clever Maxiem welterweight, boses Wee Wee Marton, the eotored boxer, and Paul Dison, the rugged Hrook- lyn welterweight, and Johny Gill will clash tn the evening tan-rounder, Abe Attell, the forme featherweight champion, will be ven tn the roped arena at the Harlem Hporting Club Wriday wight, not in the boxing cautesta, bub seting tn the eapanity of adviser to hig Droid, Monte Attell, slong with ‘Buddy Paulkes, weight in the word, Abe has taken hold of hile Dothan and will praia Monte for the bout against the clever negro, The former champion and Monte Liked away (0 Blew Dorp to prepare for the bout, | he managment of the Bmplre 4, 0, pas completed fie cant $05 the reopening of ite elub oy Woweday wight, Iw the main event George Chane pf Baltimore will make his debut apaiaes Vacky Mommas, jhe east side sluggss, ‘The seul: final will being womether Ixia Vata Cline of Haslem ond Jimmy Dotty of the wast wide, and hare will ba 6 apcial it sound peut, baisean dim Hoals, Use Isiah heasywoight, and Tuna Capont, von Mecas Aerdues, the promising Nght weight managed by Bd Patiomon, manager of Shamus O'Brien ang Johuay lam, will box Young Hoovey 4s Brown's Kes Rockaway Club Vriday night, a: romped over the grass in celebration of the double victory over the Pirates, * Yos, what is it? Herzog 1s not as good a hitter as Doyle, and players who appraise a fellow athlete's ability with a keen eyo say that he is not an good « fielder as Fletchor, Neither is he as fast a base runner as Robertson, Yet our former manager of the Reds has injected the one thing in the club that has been needed to put them in champtonahip class, “Ho fights, That's what. It 1s,” said a pitcher of the club last night. “What do you mean—fights?” “You Just ought to hear him out on that diamond, Ho pops away tn auch an Irritating way that he has every man on that clud making plays that he really doesn't know how to make, He fights on the bench, nag- ging everybody, Andhe doesn't atop there, aither, Ho carries it right on into the club houas, “some of these arguments are not very pleasant,” added tho pltoher, ‘Dut A ohas wot the other fellows anxious to show something, I don't know whether the follows like Terais or not, but I do know that thoy are mighty glad MoGraw's got him on the club, I think he's worth loty more to the spirit of a team than Johnny E W Bince HH to the Polo om came -|}Grounda with the Glanta they have won four straight games, a thing they haven't approached sinoo thelr remarkable record of — seventeen straight, MoQraw gaye he hasn't taken time to figure it out: that he fs too well satisfled with having pulled the deal to worry, Tt ta planned to have Arthur Fletcher back on the job at short stop for to-day's double header, and that event ia looked forward to by fans and playera with muoh interest, With Fletcher and Her ~ BPORTING. _ grays ake Sts T IMPROVEMENTS SAVE ENGGGK tO PAY PERIS< Bu.
