Sam Crane Predicts Shakeup in National League Champions Next Season M'GRAW TO STRENGTHEN GIANTS’ WEAK SPOTS By Sam Crane. . tEW YORK. Oct. 23.—Even if \! the recent world’s series *■ ’ brought little more than re i t and disappointment to the ■»nds and backers of the Giants, has served one purpose that . .-.uld result in the strengthening the team for next year, or at past io have the effort made to no st er up the weak points in the «gular line-up that were so plaln , and painfully evident while the s» les was in progress. Errors lost the Giants the series, t- was poor fielding that caused the b to drop from a slxteen-game .. to a paltry advantage of four £ i .>s and a half and thereby put g them in such grave danger ng the National league season teat the players themselves were oughiy frightened and their o - nds thrown into conniption tits.

Probably for this reason none was more cha grined over the defeat. ,\o infielder of either team played sii'-h a splendid or consistent game, and at bat even the renowned Speaker was left far behind. There was just one player who took part In all eight games of the series who had a batting average of .400, and th . belonged to the Giant star. He made an even dozen hits, among em four doubles and a triple, which netted him a. total of eight een bases. His fielding was per- Herzog Outclassed Gardner. fit contrast. Larry Gardner, rated as the foremost third sacker in the American league, was made m look like a bush league player, for Herzog outclassed his Boston ri>al on all sides. In the volumi nous comparisons of the players ■ alie before the series few of the experts rated the Giant star as the equal of Gardner. Today there are few vho do not admit that he is 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 very start. Devlin in his palmiest fays did not play a stronger, faster defensive game than the Maryland farmer. * Tfis was the fifth season that Herzog put in as a major leaguer, lb began playing professional ball WHEN OTHERS FAIL TO BENEFIT YOU, CONSULT Dr. Holbrook Quail fleations: Graduate and post - graduate of seven of the best ool 'r-ges In the United States; Special courses In Europe Reference: Several hundreds of cured and grateful pa tients in Southern states.

That will mean new players in the new line-up and they are now on the list of engaged men or who were on the pay roll of the New York club when the season of 1912 was finished so gloriously or in gloriously, as one wants to con sider it.

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. ’YOUNG CUBAN PLAYERS SOUGHT BY GRIFFITH WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.- Jacinto Cal- ! vo. the young Cuban outfielder, recom- | mended to Manager Griffith by a Havana ; sporting writer, is expected to sign a Washington contract.

In the first game | against the Pelicans Calvo pounded out I three safe bingles, and snoed a pretty , turn of speed on the bases, according to a | paper sent to the Nationals' office here "The boy Is just a beginner." said Man- I ager Griffith, "but I am given to under- | stand that he has a great future.

I fielding of the team was adding i many and many extra gray hairs to his already grizzled "thatch. ’’ Looked For Errorless Game. "M urn w ill my team ever play an errorless game.?" was the plain tive cry very often during the sea son "If they do. then they will win out hands down, but I have about given up all hopes of their being able to do so." But with all the grit and deter mination that is so characteristic of him in sticking to his players, he made few changes, preferring to let them work but their own salva tion. He did shift Devore occa sionally. but had to return to that 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 were on 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 them. In fact, they have been tried and found wanting, and not sot the first time, either. < It is al! well, 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?

SAVANNAH, GA. < Advt > 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. Eugenie Blair in “Mad ame X” at Lyric.
