EASTERN TRIP FAILS TO UNSEAT REDLEGS Herzog's Men Stick in Second Place Despite Predictions of Scribes. BY C. H. ZUSER. CINCINNATI, June 24 While the Reds failed to win a majority of their games on the eastern trip just closed, they managed to remain in second place during their visit of nearly three weeks on the Atlantic seaboard, a result that many wise scribes predicted would not follow the tour. For the next few weeks the Reds will be hre or hereabouts, and it is expected that during their performances in their own territory they will improve their percentage, even if they fail to go higher In the race than they are at present. Games with the Cubs arc schedule! for this week, to be followed by a double-header with the Pirates next Sunday, and seyeral additional games next week. In their recent sames with both these teams the Reds have more than held their own, indicating that the coming battles will result in an upward movement i f Cirnvnonti stoc!?. Best Men Stick. Comparatively low ball players the higher cla.-.s arc succuuibiut the blandishments of The officials the Federal ieap.ue in the matter of to or of accepting offers to jump their contract with organized baseball leagues to cast their let with the so-called outlaws, it is no compliment to the men who are doing the tempting, nor to those players who listen to the tempters, to have players repudiate their contractal obligations in order to gain a little more temporary reward. The deplorable feature of the whoie situation is that it has developed a coterie of club owners and ball players who seem to care nothing for the honest record which baseball has borne for so many years, and who are willing to blast that reputation for a little temporary prestige or money consideration. However, the great majority of players in organized baseball, and the club owners in the lefigues under ihe National Agreement, are honest in their dealings and motives, so that the honesty of baseball will survive, despite the dishonest acts of some players and outlaw crub owners. Herzog After Men. The fact that the Reds are in second place, and keeping a reasonable distance ahead of their nearest competitors, is not moving Manager Herzog to "leave well enough alone." Nearly erery day records the opening of negotiations for some new player to strengthen the Reds, in order that the team's finish on the season may be even more triumphant than its beginn'ng. Three new men have been added to the Reds' line-up during the past few days, namely Pitchers Schneider and Koestner and Outfielder T,ohr. Manager Herzog U giving these young- I sters every opportunity possible to j make good, and indications are that j the twirlers will stick. Manager Herzog is not turning away any prom-isms youngsters who may be recommended to him, and promises to pick up more th?.n one rough diamond in this way If fore the season is over. SUBSTITUTE DAY 01 istiir Nine A change in the schedule of the Richmond club will bring the Dayton Shamrocks here next, Sunday instead of the; Klimroods of Cincinnati. Richmond has mai several Clncy teams in succession and the local club thouahi to vary the program by bringing tinGem City team club next Sunday and filling the Klnuvnoda in "no, open date of July 12. From all that i known of the Dayton club, the Shamrocks seem to be a fast aggregation capable of putting up an exhibition that will measure up with the requirements of the fans. The Shamrocks last Sunday defeated the Sydney. Ohio. team. Richmond club owners are taking especial pains to bring fast clubs here this season. The local club is perhaps the fastest, that ever represented the. Quakertown. fn order to get teams that can offer the home outfit good opposition the club has been obliged to turn down the offers of many weaker tea ms. WITH THE MAJORS RUCK ER INVINCIBLE.

HERMANN REVOKES

PREVIOUS DECISIONS ' - j ! Garry Changes Mind About; m . t- i t-! ,lri ! Taking Baek Players Who ; Jump to Feds. BY FRANK G. MEN K E. NEW YORK, June 24 All the world: seems to have grown a bit awry of late. Jacob Dauber, the most peaceful citizen known to history, was chased from a ball game a few days back, j not because he merely sassed an tira- j pire, but he shook both fists right at Ue arbitrator. And it's been all of three days now since George Stallings who manages the unmanageable Braves, has complained about an umpire. Garry Changes Mind. " "-Garry Herrmann, who infests the Cincinnati region, evidently must be laboring along the theory that "it's only a wise man who changes his mind." Garry, it may be recalled, was the gentleman who, with proper dignity and a great show of authority, an-' nounced some months back that "under no circumstances will Organized Baseball take back a player who has jumped to the outlaws." And now, in this pleasant month of June, Garry is so busy evoking the aid of the courts in getting back the. hurdling players that he hardly finds lime to eat or sleep. The gent who concocted the remark that "nothing is hopeless," probably never saw the Yankees play. Tell Now One. Here is a new "Silk" O'Laughlin story they're telling these days. The ' reciter is a person who played in the! minor league years ago when "Silk" j was just breaking into the umpiring business. ' j "It was in a game in Worcester, Mass.," said the old-time player, that a batter claimed he had been hit on the arm by a pitched ball. 'Silk' in his despotic way, refused to let him take his base, saying the ball had not touched him. The player, an outfielder, Btuck in the game for the two innings still to play. "His arm pained him so much the next day that he was forced to go to a doctor. The physician examined it and then announced: " 'Your arm is broken." "Oh, you must, be wrong." said the player. "My arm can't be broken. 'Silk' O'Laughlin told me that the ball never touched me, and 'Silk' claims he never made a mistake in his life.' " The Walter Johnson of 1914 seems to be a horrible example of what befalls a gent who tried to change his notions. Walt, so far this season, has lost more games than he lost all during 1913. And Walt, in explaining the phenomena, says: i "T guess it's all because I changed my pitching motion. I figured that the motion I used last year and in the other years might wear me out sooner than was natural. So I hit upon a new motion that saved energy. But it doesn't seem to be a winning motion, j "So I'm shifting back ot the old mo-, tion again the one that gives me a full arm swing and lets me use all the speed that I have. Now that I'm back at the old style of pitching again, I guess I'll do a little better." NEXT

KENNEY MAY LAND QUAKER PRODIGALS

Richmond Manager Negotiates With Wilburs and Curley for Their Return. Norman Volt, Richmond's regular second sacker, who has been oilt of the geme for a month on account of an injury received in a game, has not jumped the team, and probably will be seen in a Quaker uniform next or je following Sunday. Accordiug to Dick Kennedy, manager, Volta was more seriously lnjufed than was at first thought. Norm is stui unable to navigate without the aid of crutches, but t hints he win be in shape to don the war togs soon, voltz bus not taken part In a game since he left here, Kenney says. In caoe Voltz gets back in the game, j it i3 probable that Schlemker, the i present caretaker of the keystone I sack, will be shifted to the bench as general utility man. Schlem is an out- j fielder as well as an infield man and j can play either position. With Dahl j in left. Valtz back on second, and with ; Schlem a:; utility man, the team will i be in the bast condition since the j opening of the season. The possibility of Kenney's succeed- j ing in 1 rinsing the two prodigals, Wilburs and Curley, back to the Quaker j fold is atill in the air. Both Wilburs ; and Curley lost their jobs when Dra- ( per's Middleborough Appalachian craft ! plow vih the rest ot tne circuit. Kenney is i'i touch with both men and will do his best to land them. In cas Dick does succeed in affixing thn John Hancock of the two men to (junker contracts, a shake-up will be necessary. Richmond now has .a trio ot first-class outfielders in Red Dahl, Shorty Merkle and Red McCann, and just whom of this triumvorate will be ditched Li a question that Kenney will go slow in settling. Richmond has a third sacker in Tex Lenniger, who is as good i;s the best, and whether Curley, of signed, could offer a better brand of ball than Lenniger is another problem that Kenney will have to mediate before rattling the tinware. lELEi EASTHAVEN A.

TUXEDO actually soothes the nerves. It is just mild enough to keep your nervous system in poise, your muscles in tone. Unlike other tobaccos, Tuxedo bums cool and slow. There cannot be a speck of irritation in a pound of Tuxedo. Great singers smoke Tuxedo just before a performance. Public speakers testify as to its soothing influence. Doctors recommend it to smokers whose throats are delicate.

The secret of its superiority is the unique "Tuxedo Process" by which all the unpleasant features are eliminated from tobacco.
