Points to Reds" Lowly Standing
r E chances are strongly In favor
of our old friend Lou Castro
as manager of the local club in
the Dixie League, now in process of
formation by six cities now in the
Southern League, and Shreveport and
Little Rock, who have held Southern
League franchises at one time or an
other.
A recommendation for the versatile
Count has been sent to Harry N.
Pharr, of Memphis, secretary of the
new circuit, and it carries names of
sufficient weight in Atlanta and
Southern baseball circles to insure
careful consideration.

‘‘THE point is, we must have man-
1 agers and players of reputa
tion—men who are well known to the
public,” said one of the incorporators
of the local club. ‘ When you get
right down to it, people pay money to
see players and managers that they
have heard a lot about. Castro is
widely known all through the South
from his connection with the Nash
ville. Birmingham and Atlanta clubs
in the Southern League, and his pen-
nant-winnig leadership of the
Augusta club in the Sally League.”

/'"'ASTRO says he has heard nothing
of the plans to put him at the
head of the local Dixie League club,
but adds that he is ready to get back
into the game at any time, and that
Atlanta would be his one best pick
as a managerial berth, in the Dixie
or any other league.
The Count, speaking of the problem
of getting good players for the new
club, was certain of his ability to col
lect a team that would represent At
lanta with credit.
Herrmann Criticises
Tinker for Plaint
Cincinnati President Says He Is Al
ways Ready to Help Joe
Produce a Team.
CINCINNATI. OHIO, Aug. 23.—
Garry Herrmann has agreed to dis
agree with Joe Tinker, manager of
his ball club, but Garry refuses to
fight bis battle through the column!
of the sport pages of the country.
The famous Elk and baseball mag
nate says Tinker is the only man
who is disappointed with the showing
me.de by the Reds this season.
“I told Joe early in the season that
we did not have much of a ball club.''
says Garry, “and I also told him it
would take time to build one. hence
it can not be justly said I am dis
appointed with the showing made,
either by Tinker or the club.”
Herrmann also takes issue with
Tinker when it comes to the matter
of the Red payroll. Herrmann says
he has held an open purse all sea
son and he produces figures to prove
that Tinker has been permitted to
buy anything that looked good to
him.
Herrmann takes Tinker to task for
airing his troubles In the newspapers
and says he prefers that club matter-
bo discussed in private. He says
there have been no deals consum
mated without the knowledge of Tin
ker.
While Herrman says he does not
expect to let Tinker go at the close
of the season the differentes between
the magnate'and the manager have
become so marked that a blow-up at
the close of the season would not be
surprising to any one.

(Managing Director of World's Tour
of Cnicago White Sox and New
York Giants.)
HICAGO, ILL., Aug. 23.—the ob
ject and aim of the world’s
tour of America’s two famous
baseball teams, from its two largest
cities, are twofold. The first is to
give an exhibition of America’s na
tional game in foreign lands, jy the
of its two great major
leagues—namclv, the American and
National. The other object is to try
and transplant America’s national
game In countries that are inclined
to take up the sport for the physical
development and pleasure of .he
youth of their country.
The first trip made by American
teams to foreign lands! was taken in
1874 by the Boston team, of Boston,
and the Athletic club, of Philadelphia
—members of the National League-
under the guidance- of A. G. Spaulding,
of the Boston club. Those two teams
went only to Great Britain. This
combination of American ball players
made a great impression on the Lng-
Ush people, not only by their fine
physical appearance and baseball skill
but als*o by their gentlemanly bear
ing while abroad.
The second trip of American bail
teams abroad was taken in the fall
of 1888, hut this was a “round the
wcrld' trip. The teams were the
Chicago club of the National League
and a picked team, composed of Na
tional League and American Associa
tion players. The tourists sailed from
San Francisco in November. 1888, and
returned by way of Great Britain in
the spring of 1889. All America was
interested in this tour of their great
players, and the officers of both the
National League and American Asso
ciation rose to the spirit of the oc
casion and regulated the commence
ment of their season's schedules to the
arrival of the players from foreign
lands.
First Stop in Japan.
The present trip around the world
will exceed in importance all other
former tripM of American ball players,
for the reason that It Is the object
of Mr. Comiskey and Mr. McGraw to
play in all the capitals and important
cities of Japan, China. Australia and
Europe. Manila will also be added to
the itinerary of the teams. The pres
ent trip around the world has been
j the dream of Charles A. Comiskey’s
life for the last ten years. His great
rife in the baseball world during that
period, which was caused by his
sportsmanlike methods and fair deal
ing with the people of his native city,
has enhanced and stimulated his de
sire to crown his baseball career by
making this tour of the world ir
respective of any financial loss. The
other leader. John McGraw, of the
Nev York club, seconded Mr. Comis
key’s desire to tour the world by mak
ing it a joint affair—by presenting to
the world the teams of America’s two
largest cities.
Mr. McGraw is a kindred spirit of
Mr. Comiskey’f in the display of gen
erous sportsmanship, and the tour of
the world has long been his desire,
from the time that the writer went
to England in the fall of 1898 to bring
his team, the champion Baltimore
club, to play in that country in No
vember . of that year; but as the
climate at that season in Great
Britain was against the display of
the game, the tour was abandoned.
Games To Be Hard Fought.
This circle of the globe by the Chi
cago-New 'York ball teams will he
conducted on a scale and grandeur
bid them bon voyage on their famous
trip.
After the game a special train will
be in readiness for both teams, news
paper men and eftisens of both New
York and Chicago, who are to accom
pany the players on their voyage
around the world.
This special train will be decorated
with the flags of all the foreign coun
tries they are to visit. A band of
music will accompany the special
train ftp far as the Pacific coas;—to
enliven the trip across the continent
and give zest and flavor to the
games.
As at present contemplated, they
will leave Chicago on October 17 and,
after playing in all of the cities across
the continent will then take up the
cities on the Pacific coast, playing
at Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sac
ramento, Portland. Oreg.; Tacoma anil
Seattle, in Washington State, and at
Vancouver, B. C. After playing in
Vancouver, where they will be re
ceived by the city authorities, the
tourists will then board the palatial
steamer, Empress of Russia, on No
vember 19, for Japan, their first stop
ping place abroad. They will then
continue their trip to China, playing
in its principal cities—'then on to the
Philippine islands, playing in Manila,
where they will be royally received by
the American soldiers and attaches
of the United States Government lo
cated there.
Sphinx to Watch Sport,
From Manila they will go to the
great sporting center of the world.
Australia. After playing in the largest
cities of that country they will play
In India; from there to Egypt, and
after playing in Cairo they will Jour
ney out from that city some miles
—and play before the Sphinx, where
fiftv-centuries will look down on the
display of America’s national game.
Italy will be the next visited, and
Rome, Genoa and Florence will see

est exponents. The enthusiastic
French, who aided in the formation
of the American republic, will eee the

Games will be played in Marseilles
and Paris. Vienna will be one of the
other citic-s visited by the tourists
and a game played tnere. From
Vienna the German Empire will see
America’s national game for the first
time— a country that gave America’s
game some of its greatest exponents.
Games will be played in Berlin and
at the University of Heidelberg.
The tourists will then Invade Great
Britain the home of all sports and
all kinds of sports. Games will be

have given America many of its skill

party will then cross the channel to

are either managers, captains or pres
idents of America's great game. Games
will be played in Belfast and in
Dublin.
The last stop will be in Dublin be
fore taking the steamer at Queens
town for home. Here the American
players will be given a grand and
royal reception by the Irish people.
“BAKER BETTER ASSET TO
A TEAM THAN COBB’’—MACK
PHILADELPHIA, PA.. Aug. 23.—No
less an authority than Manager Con
nie Mack is of the opinion that a
man of Franklin Baker’s type is of
more value to his team than a tem
peramental player and star like Ty
Cobb.
“It's all down in the.record books.”
says Connie. “Baker is one of the
mo sit dangerous batters in baseball
to-day, and he is of the clean-up kind
that all pitchers respect. Besides this.
Baker is a very valuable member of
my infield, upon which much of the
defense depends.”
ANOTHER FOR RED SOX.
BOSTON, Aug. 23.—The Boston
Americans added another pitcher 1o
their roster when Frank Kelley was
purchased from the Seattle chib.
N EW YORK, Aug. 23.—“I think I
have been vindicated*” said Um
pire Harry O’Day, when dis
cussing his experience as manager of
the' Cincinnati Reds last year. “The
Reds under my management finished
in fourth place. If 1 had been able
to get a first-class shortstop, together
with a good pitcher, the team would
have been in second place, close be
hind the Giants. I don’t care to
criticize Joe Tinker’s methods or the
policy of the Cincinnati club owners,
but I can’t help pointing to the pres
ent status of the Reds and the con
sequent howl from the Cincinnati
fans.
Resigned Management.
“When I saw that Mr. Herrmann
had made up his mind to hand over
the management of the Reds to Tin
ker I sent in my resignation. But I
knew than what would happen. To
day, while I am back on the National
League umpire staff, I ««till feel that
I can manage a ball team as well as
anybody. Perhaps some of the new
generation of fans do not know that I
pitched for the Giants and Washing
ton in the old days, and that when 1
w as with the Senators my catcher was
Connie Mack. I knew’ as much about
inside ball then .as Mack and I’ve
learned just as much about the game
as he has since that time.
“Why shouldn’t I be able to guide
a team in the fine points? Is there
anybody in a better position to learn
the weak points of batsmen and the
methods employed by the various
teams than an umpire who has worked
twenty years behind the bat? When
I took hold of the Cincinnati Reds 1
was able to post my players regarding
many things, and if I do say so they
show up-to-date methods. Yet
when we wer^ leading the race during
the first month or so I told Mr. Herr
mann that unless we could obtain a
shortstop and a couple of pitchers we
would drop back to fourth or fifth
place.
Injuries Hurt Team.
“Do you know’ what greased the to
boggan first? It was in the series with
the Giants in Cincinnati the first trip
that Johnny Bates, who was hitting
.379, sprained his ankle and the next
day Bob Bescher was stricken with
typhoid fever. Deprived of these star

Former Major League Star Hurler

ANN ARBOR, MICH., Aug. 23.—Carl
Lundgren, a member of the hurling
staff of the Chicago Nationals when
the famous “Cub machine” was at its
best, has been appointed coach of the
University of Michigan baseball team.
The former National Leaguer suc
ceeds Branch Rickey, who now’ is
scouting for the 8t. Louis Browns,
resigning his position here at the close
qf the last season to devote , his en
tire time to Colonel Hedges’ busi
ness.
Lundgren has been coaching the
Princeton freshmen for a couple of
seasons and was highly recommended
to Michigan by Keene Fitzpatrick,
the former Maize and Blue trainer
and track coach. He is a University
of Illinois man, pitching for that team
while Jake Stahl was in college and
getting into the big league about the
same time.
outfielders and with no able substi
tutes to take their places we slid
down the ladder.
“Jimmy Esmond, who played short
stop in fine style for Griffith in 1911.
couldn’t deliver for me, because of
chronic stomach trouble. That was a
hardship entirely unexpected, but !t
was not my fault. In fact. I had to
take what Gritlith left, the only new
man who went South with me in th^
spring being a young pitcher named
Williams.
It is a fact that under my manage
ment the Cincinnati club made more
money last yearithan ever before, and
it was big money, too. I never had
the slightest friction with the players,
despite reports to the contrary, and if
you don’t believe me ask Mike Mitch
ell, Art Phelan, Larry McLean, Ar
thur Fromme or any other member of
the Reds w ho played for me.
“I established discipline from th* 1
outset. When McLean reported he
weighed 236 pounds. I made him wear
a rubber shirt and during the spring
training trip he took off nearly 40
pounds, being in great condition when
the championship race began. I made
McLean understand that I was the
boss.
Kept Good Discipline.
“Some persons rapped me while I
was manager because I paid no atten
tion to wild stories. 1 was told that
So-and-So was drinking heavily,
when as a matter of fact the player
mentioned was drinking a couple of
glasses of beer after each game with
my permission. Because the team
slumped I was the goat, yet it was
beyond my power to help It.
“The trouble in Cincinnati always
has been too many advisers. Mr.
Herrmann is a fine man, but he listens
to outsiders and persons who are self-
appointed managers. If the Cincin
nati players win, they are called he
roes and idols. If they lose, names
hars'h enough can not be invented. 1
only wish that I had been permitted to
keep the management for this year,
for I know’ that I would have accom
plished more than last year. 1 will go
on umpiring now until I get another
chance to handle a big league team,
w’hen I will quickly accept if only to
prove that I am able to cope with the
best team handlers in the big leagues '

Browns’ Pitcher Declares That the
Umpire Can’t Forget Texas
League Incident.
S T. LOUIS, Aug. 23.—Pitcher Roy
Mitchell, of the Browns, has
drawn an indefinite suspension
for his run-in with Umpire “Silk”
O’Loughlin. while President Ban
Johnson, of the American League, ap
parently has ignored the protest of
Manager Stovall of O’Loughlin's con
duct during the game.
Mitchell alleges that his suspension
is the culmination of a grudge borne
him by O’Loughlin since the first time
he pitched in the American Teague in
1910. On that occasion O’Loughlin, j
according to Mitchell, said he would
prove to the husky Texan that he •
could not bait umpires in the big J
league.
• * *
«A N the last day that I pitched in
the Texas League,” said Mitch- .
ell to the writer, “I hod my first trou
ble with an umpire. We mixed, but
it was not over baseball. It was a
personal matter, and any man would
have done what I did under the ctri
cumstances.
“1 then came to St. Louis, and on
the very first time that 1 pitched and
O’Loughlin was umpiring he informed
me that I couldn’t ’get away with
that Texas stuff’ up here. In every
game 1 have pitched since then in
which O’Loughlin has worked he has (
always brought up the Texas inci- j,

could put me out of the game. I sup
pose his report to Mr. Johnson says
that 1 was the aggressor and cussed
him out. I certainly cussed him, but
not until after he called me a 'dirty
cur' and other things.

drew it back as if to strike. He prob-
ablv would have sWung it on my
head, but I grabbed it. I may have a
