FOR STRENGTH OF 15 With Reds Going Down Manager Turns Attention to Perfecting Infield Machine for Next Year. BY C. H. ZUBER. CINCINNATI, Aug. 19. Never hefore in the history of the National league has there been such a ruthless upsetting of dope in connection with prospects of standings of teams as during the present season. The old Baying of "The first shall be last and the last first" has been demonstrated a number of times since the season opened, and promises to secure a few inore endorsements before the contenders for the world's series are finally decided upon. Take the Keds, for instance; they have been in every position In the race Beveral times during the past four months, and still are promising their followers that they will finish among the first four. New York has been up in front for some time longer than any other team has held the lead bo far this season but judging by the manner in which the Bostons are going at present, the reign of the Giants as leaders is not for long. And those eame Bostons, from a bad last have moved up to within striking distance of first place within five weeks. Verily, the form operators are having severe attacks of the Willies these days, for the figures, as prognosticators. are of the brand of Ananias. Looks to Next Year. Manager Herzog is rapidly getting his team working along lines that maQn mnoh fnp an niicn1rimiB ctnrf next season. The latest switch, that of placing Von Kolnitz at third base In place of Nelhoff has worked splendidly so far, the young Southerner snowing maiKeu aputuue as a iieiuer and developing consistent batting strength through regular work. The Infield, as now constituted, would prove a gratifying combination to Kaiser Wilhelm, with Mollwitz, Groh, Herzog and Von Kolnitz on the roster. It is likely that this line-up will continue next season, unless a new first baseman, coming from the Virginia league, and a new third baseman, snared in the International league, should prove wonders. It is likely that Herzog will stand pat with the outfield material he has in view for tha next campaign, the talent in this department including Daniels, Trombley, Moran and Miller, all of whom have made good this season and "Red" Killifer, now with Minneapolis and admitted to be the bet outfielder in the American Association from every point of view. Pitchers a Puzzle. But one real worry obsesses Manager Herzog for next season, and that Is his pitching staff. However, there Is a string of youngsters coming from the bushes that promises to add the touch to the hurling corps that will place at least five first class men at the disposal of Herzog when the Beason of 1915 is started on its way. Several of those youngsters are due to debut this fall, and it is likely that they will be seen during the next three Sunday contests, which are apportioned as follows: Sunday, Aug. 23, New York; Sunday, Aug. 30, Philadelphia; Sunday, Sept. 6, St. Louis. One high class left-hander and one first rate right hander will put the Reds' pitching staff right where it belongs and it is reasonable to suppose that both these wants will be filled before the present season closes. POST OFFICE HIRE TAKES NICHOLSONS Defeated Team Changes Pitchers Every Inning, But Fails to Win. The baseball team composed of employes of the Nicholson Printing company set a new pace yesterday when a fresh pitcher was used every inhfng the post office employes came to bat.

Boger is 43 and the record made by Elmer for the first nine holes in his match was on stroke below par. In the second round with Cates, he fell down and allowed Cates to halve the round with him, but owing to .his excellent playing in the first round, Elmer won the watch 4 up and 3 to go. The other match that was scheduled for yesterday was the match between Charles McGuire and Wilbur Hibberd. McGuire forfeited the match to Hibberd. This leaves four men to play in the semi-finals.

II, JOHNSON DENIES TRYING TO EMPLOY CITY PLANT'S MEN
Manager of Competing Company Says Nine Municipal Employes Sought Positions With Him. Appearing before the board of public works this morning Nimrod H. Johnson, superintendent of. the Light, Heat and Power company and formerly superintendent of the municipal plant, emphatically denied he had ever approached any employe of the municipal plant and offered them employment with the Light, Heat and Power company. President Bavis of the board inform ed Mr. Johnson that so far as he was concerned his explanation was unnecessary because he had never charged the city plant's competitor with resorting to such tactics. Bert Overman, who announced yesterday that he had resigned his position as head bookkeeper at the city plant to accept a position with the L. H. & P., three times approached Johnson to secure the position he has just accepted, according to the statement made by Johnson to the board. Finally Gets Job. "I told him in May and June that I had no place for him, but on the fourth of August he came to me again and told me that he intended to leave the city's service the first of September and that if he could not secure a position with the L. H. and P. he was going to accept a position with a local manufacturing company," said Johnson. "Not until Overman had definitely informed me that he intended to leave the city plant did I offer him a posi tion. I did so because he was too valuable a man not to secure. "Overman the last time he came to me said that working conditions at the city plant were not satisfactory,, that he had the future interests of himself and his family to look after and he did not want to cast them into a 'political pond.' "I also want to inform the board that there have been nine city plant employes who have asked me for jobs and I have only employed one of them." Mr. Bavis inquired of Mr. Johnson what reason Mr. Overman could assign that he regarded his position with the city plant a "political job," to which Mr. Johnson replied that Overman had expressed his disgust over the action of re-employing George Cunningham after he had been discharged by Superintendent Kleinknecht. Johnson said that he had been informed that John McMinn of the board of works had told Cunningham to return to work, and he said Overman regarded this action as a political play. Flees After Fight. Johnson also laughingly remarked that he had read a statement made by Superintendent Kleinknecht denying that he had had a fight with Henry Sittloh after having discharged Sittloh as line foreman. "I know there was a fight because Sittloh came to my office after the row to hide from the police," Johnson added. Mr. Bavis entered a vigorous denial that positions connected with the city light plant had been placed in poli playing off the finals has not been set. Dill will be matched with Elmer and Hibberd with Morrow in the rounds that are to be played before Saturday.

tics and said that the policy of the administration was to employ In every department the best available men regardless of their political affiliations. As proof of his statement he cited recent appointments to the police and fire departments, which have been
made on an absolutely non-partisan basis. He congratulated Johnson on securing the services of Mr. Overman and said he regretted that he had severed his connection with the city plant, but, he added, "it is a mistake for any man to think that his place cannot be satisfactorily filled."
