Sam Crane Predicts Shakeup in National League Champions Next Season
M’fiRAW TO STRENGTHEN GIANTS’ WEAK SPOTS
By Sam Crane.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Even if
the recent world’s series
brought little more than re
gret and disappointment to the
friends and backers of the Giants,
it has served one purpose that
should result in the strengthening
of the team for next year, or at
’.east to have the effort made to
bolster up the weak points In the
regular line-up that were so plain
( and painfully evident while the
series was in progress.
Errors lost the Giants the series.
It was poor fielding that caused the
club to drop from a slxteen-game
lead to a paltry advantage of four
games and a half and thereby put
ng them in such grave danger
during the National league season
that the players themselves were
frightened and their
friends thrown into conniption fits.
Giants Finally Recovered.
The team was enabled to recover
much of their lost lead, but It must
be acknowledged that if the Chi
ago Cubs had not slumped as they
did, just at the time the Giants
WORLD SERIES HEROES
CHARLEY HERZOG—No. 3
By Harry Glaser.
DOWN at Ridgely, Md., Char
lev Herzog is trying hard
to blot from his memory
certain painful incidents of last
week that cost the Giants a world's
championship.
Not that the brilliant third base
>n.m need look with anything but
pride upon the role he played, for
It - work in the series stood out
as by far the best of any indi
vidual, with the possible exception
of certain pitchers. Probably for
this reason none was more cha
grined over the defeat.
No infielder of either team played
such 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
this belonged to the Giant stair. He
made an even dozen hits, among
them four doubles and a triple,
which netted him a total of eight
een bases. His fielding was per
fect.
Herzog Outclassed Gardner.
Ry contrast. Larry Gardner,
rated as the foremost third sacker
in the American league, was made
to look like a bush league player,
for Herzog outclassed his Boston
rival on all sides. In the volumi
nous comparisons of the players
made before the series few of the
experts rated the Giant star as the
equal of Gardner. Today there are
few who 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
chased from Boston. That was
ibout mid-season last year, and
Herzog did much toward gaining
the Giants a championship when he
replaced the veteran Arthur Dev
lin.
He clouted like a demon from the
very start. Devlin in his palmiest
days did not play a stronger, faster
defensive game than the Maryland
farmer.
This was the fifth season that
Herzog put in as a major leaguer.
He began playing professional ball

were in their hardest straits and
with little prospect of regaining
their st! ide, the New Yorkers
would have been pushed mu eh
harder than they were and might
possibly have lost out. and not been
able to contest in the sensational
series that is now baseball history.
It was a game struggle, fought
to the last ditch and every player
who participated in it is entitled to
great credit, some, of course, more
than others, but the series being
as close as it was only served to
emphasize the fact, now that all
the glamor is off and we can look
at the games with cool and delib
erate judgment, that there are sev
eral holes in the team that must
be plugged up.
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
gloriouslv. as one wants to con
sider It.
Manager McGraw must be fully
awar“ of the situation, and was.
too, all the season when the poor

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 part 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
5 ork 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 Manage, Tenney and the
Boston players, during which Her
zog quit the team after being fined
S3OO 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. The contract was
sent to Havana, where the lad is playing
with the Aimendares against the New Or
leans club, of the Southern league, and
the promising youngster will hardly make
any protest against the size of the emolu
ment offered.
Calvo Is a mere stripling, but his per
formance against New Orleans Is tickling
Manager Griffith. In the first game
against the Pelicans Calvo pounded out
three safe blngies. and sttoed 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
ager Griffith, "but I am given to under
stand that he has a great future He is

fielding of the team was adding
many and many extra gray hairs
to his already grizzled "thatch.”
Looked For Errorless Game.
"When will my team ever play
an etrorless game?" was the plain
tive cry very often during the sea
son. "If they do, then they will
win out hands down, but 1 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
l p t them work out 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
dining the National league season.
It was the natural conclusion to
arrive at. McGraw was 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 ail their games.
»nd the players who were most
erratic In their fielding were the
ones who stumbled, fumbled, muff
ed and fell when the big games
were on
There are players who are so
constituted mentally that they can
not stand the stiain imposed by as
strenuous and important a series of
contests such as world’s champion
ship and other post-season games
produce.
Such players w ith lighter mental
caliber are placed at a big disad
vantage below their more steady
minded players. Tt may not be that
the former are shy on gameness,
but it has been proven conclusively
in the most recent series that they
failed to come to the front and
make good when the pinch occa
sions arose. And such 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 for the
first time, either. It is all well
and looks good for players to 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 real.
Crane Looks For Deals.
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 carry a
player beyond 33 years of age. This
was illustrated this past season,
when he allowed Devlin to go to
Boston. After Devlin had joined
the Braves he said to me:
”1 knew I would not last the sea
son out with McGraw. I was 33
years old, and McGraw quit pLky
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 for other fields
when old 33 years bobs up. It may
be only a. coincidence that McGraw
has let so many of his players go
when they had just reached that
age, but we don’t think so. We
think the plan is formed in his
mind. Anyhow, it has never failed
to be the canning age for us.”
Now. who among the Giants has
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 witli 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
their remaining opponents.
The Carolina game showed that the
team had real 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 the
game Saturday, but none was hurt. The
hospital list is nil. The regulars are all
in trim and will come to Jacksonville
with tht* 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 last Saturday were made
through the strong Carolina line. A
speedy set of backs, with some good
subs, combine to make the outfit look
like a w’lnner.
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 a good one 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 Back Buie handies 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 this season, the
team has proved to be as dangerous in
the fourth quarter as in the first. With
the score against the Floridians, they
never 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 whc
are liable to be stars in the game with
the Tech men. They are old heads and
are all good players. While they real
ize the necessity of team work, they
are always found ready to accept all
chances in which all of them are liable
to make star plays.
