in the American league, was made

superior to the Red Sox infielder.
Herzog's worth as a ball player
Is not to be judged solely upon his
world’s series performance. This
merely served to bring him more
prominently before the public. He
has proved his value long since,
and that Manager McGraw recog
nized his ability may be taken for
granted when it is recalled that he
signed him up for a term of three
years at the time he was repur
■ based from Boston. That was
about mid-season last year, and
Herzog did much toward gaining
ilia Giants a championship when he
replaced the veteran Arthur Pev
lin.
He clouted like a demon from the

defensive game than the Maryland

Born in Baltimore. Md., 27 years
ago.’on July 9. 1885, he spent the
greater part of his life around that
city. Contrary to general belief.
Herzog is not a Hebrew, but of
German extraction.
After attending the University' of
Maryland, where he took a perma
nent pari in baseball, Herzog or
ganized a ball team which he man
aged successfully. One of the play
ers on his team was J. Franklin
Baker, the Athletics’ star, who was
also a resident of Ridgely, Md., at
that time.
From Ridgely. Herzog went to
York in the Tri-Sate league and
established a fine record as an in
fielder and hitter.
Played in Famous Game.
McGraw heard of him and pur
chased the youngster in 1908. When
Doyle was injured that season Her
zog played second base and took
part in the famous play-off game
against the Cubs.
In 1910 he was traded to Boston
for Beals Becker. Then Herzog be
gan to improve in leaps and bounds
to such an extent that the Giants’
leader regretted having let him go.
Early in 1911 trouble developed
among Manager Tenney and the
Boston players, during which Her
zog quit the team after being fined
$.300 for alleged Indifferent play
ing.
This induced the Boston club to
look favorably upon a chance to
trade him. McGraw finally secured
him at the expense of Al Bridwell
and Hank Gowdy.

"M urn w ill my team ever play

But with all the grit and deter

he made few changes, preferring to
let them work but their own salva

plucky little speedboy when con
tests of unusual importance need
ed pure game qualities to be shown.
Errors, and bad ones, often re
peated. lost the world's pennant,
and that they’ would was presaged
during the National league season,
it was the natural conclusion to
arrive at. McGraw wag fearful of
it. and so were his players. That
lack of confidence was also imbued
in those who had been with the
Giants the entire season and seen
them perform in all their games,
and the players who were most
erratic in their fielding were the
ones who stumbled, fumbled, muff
ed’ and fell tvhen the big games

There are players who are so
constituted mentally that they can
not stand the strain imposed by as
strenuous and important a series of
contests such as world’s champion
ship and other post-season games
produce.
Such players with lighter mental
caliber are placed at a big disad
vantage below their more steady
minded players, it may not be that
the former are shy on gameness,
but it has been proven conclusively
in the most recent serie- that they
failed to edme to the. front and
make good when the pinch occa
sions arose. Apd sue it players will
neither have the confidence in
themselves henceforth nor will
their fellow players ■ have it for

and looks good for. players io be
magnanimous for the faults of
others, but at times that feeling is
forced and the joke not followed by
a laugh or a smile that is teal.
Crane Looks For Deale.
I look for Manager McGraw to
make some deals, either by! trade
or purchase, for players during the
winter. Sentiment does not figure
a whole lot with the Giants’ leader
when he thinks any of his players
have lost their usefulness to his
club. He does not usually early a
player beyond 33 years of age. This
was illustyated this past season,
when he allowed Devlin to go to
Boston. After Devlin had joined
the Braves he said to me:
"I knew I would not last the sea
son out with McGraw. 1 was 33
years old. ami McGraw quit play
ing when he was that age. He
seems to think no player, after he
reaches 33. is speedy enough for
the Giants, and it is considered an
unwritten law among the Giants
for them to have their grips packed
and ready to depart rot other fields
when old 33 years bobs up. It may
be only a coincidence that McGraw
lias let so many of his players go
when they had just reached that
age, but we don't think so. We
think tl>e plan is formed in his
mind. Anyhow, it has never failed
to be the canning age for us.”
Now, w ho among the Giants lias
reached the vulnerable point of
their baseball career as Giants?

Florida Has Strong
Team and Expects to
Trim Yellow Jackets
JACKSONVILLE. FLA. Oct. 23.
Florida’s football team is now ac
tively at work preparing for a hard
struggle with Georgia Tech in this city
next Saturday
Last Saturday the "Alligators" won
from the strong University of South
Carolina eleven, and the boys are now
feeling able to take the measures of
thejr remaining opponents.
Tlte Carolina game showed that the
team had teal football strength No
"holes" were found in it and. with con
stant practice. Coach Pyle believes his
men will be in fine condition for the
coming battle with the Georgia boys
.The players were used up a bit in tlit?
game Saturday, but none was hint The
hospital list is nil The regulars are all
in trim and will come to Jacksonville
with the intention of taking the meas
ures of their opponents
The forward pass is being used con
siderably by the Florida team this sea
son. Good gains are generally made by
them with this play. They are also
good at line bucking—some of their
best gains lasi Saturday were made
through the strong Carolina line A
speedy set of backs, with some good
subs, combine io make the outfit look
like a winner.
Team Play Is Good.
The team work so far this season has
been good. While there are a number
of stars on the eleven, they have not
been guilty of breaking up.team work to
make grandstand plays. This is one
point very much in favor of the boys.
Their "machine" is u good on? and is in
good running order.
The strength of the Tech eleven is not
being underestimated. The scrubs are
being pounded unmercifully every night
as they line up in supposed Tech form
ations. Quarter Baek Buie handles his
team with consummate skill. He is a
good field general. He has a good head
and does not try to work one good man
to death because he is a good ground
gainer.
In the games played litis season, the
team ha.« proved to be as dangerous in
the fourth quarter as in the first. With
the sgore against the Floridians, they
neyer quit fighting. Such was the case
in the last game with the boys from
South Carolina. The game was lost un
til the last eight minutes of play, when
a touchdown and goal were added to
Florida's end of the score.
Pounds, “Dummy” Taylor. Buie, Mc-
Cullouch and Tenny are the men who
are liable to be stars in the game with
the Tech men. They are old heads and
are all good players. While they ideal
ize the necessity of team work, they
are always found ready to accept all
chances in which all of then, are liable
to make etar plays.
