Cincy Team's Followers Appreciate Showing of Reds Under Peppery Management of ShortStop. BY C. H. ZUBER. CINCINNATI, Aug. 26. Where is all this first place excitement in the National League going to end? Here It ia less than seven weeks to the close of the season and the matter of the pennant still is an open bet, with four teams In the running for the big honor. The past week has seen a decided advance on the part of Boston, St. Louis and Chicago, and a drop on the part of New York, with the result that the Beans went to a tie with Giants on Sunday, with St. Louis only one game behind the two leaders, and the Chilagos within striking distance of the other three. The present week promises to see a break in this tense situation, as the four leaders will be playing each other during all of that time, and it is certain that some one will tumble off the perch. Meanwhile the National League race, as a whole, is the tightest that this old organization ever has witnessed, with the eight teams bunched within one hundred points on Monday, making it possible for even the tailenders at this time to take the lead before the end of the season, although no one looks for such a condition. Hercog Builds Up.
Manager Herzog is pursuing his building up policy for the Reds with unwonted vigor. During the past few days he has added Pitcher Fahrer, of Dayton; First Baseman Graham, of Roanoke, and Outfielder Willefer, of Minneapolis, to the team's line-up. These men, and a number of others who are on their way to join the Reds, will be given every opportunity to disp'ay their fine points between now a-d the close of the season. Manager Herzog realizes that this is the time to see these recruits at their best, and
at the same time to offer the local followers of the game the opportunity of studying the youngsters under most favorable conditions. The Reds will start next season with fewer experiments than any other team in the league for the simple reason that Manager Herzog will do practically all hia experimenting this fall. Prepare Testimonial. So enthusiastic are local followers of the game over the showing made by Manager Herzog that a movement has been started to present the hustling leader of the Reds with a testimonial, expressive of the appreciation of the loyalty and ability shown during the Beason by the Reds' new boss. The date for the presentation of the testimonial has been set for Sunday, Sept. 13, on which occasion there will be a double header between the Reds and the St. Louis Cardinals. The Reds, by the way, have been largely instrumental in keeping down the percentage of the Cards, so that this double header, as well as single Sunday game between the Reds and Huggins' men an Sept. 6, is certain to draw large audiences. The final appearance of an eastern team on the local lot is set for next Sunday, when the Phillies bid farewell for the year.

STEVE YERKES.
With his release by the Boston Am
erican league club and the disinclina
tion of any other team to sign him, Steve Yerkes, the Red Sox veteran
second baseman, finds himself a free
agent. It is probable that he will be
signed by some Federal league team for next season. Janvrin, the Red Sox ptility man, will play at second base regularly until the close of the sea
son.

Teams from the Saturday afternoon league probably will play the curtain raisers to the Rlchmond-Wiedemann games on September 6 and 7. The league has been asked to match two all-star teams for the Sunday game, and for a picked team from the S. A. L. to play the Senators on Labor day, to determined the championship of the city. At a meeting of the directors of the league last evening, it was the expressed wish to play two all-star teams on Sunday, but on Labor day to play
the postponed game between the Natcos and the Panhandles. No decision
could be reached on this matter, and
a committee was appointed to confer with a committee from the Richmond
club relative to the arrangements for the two games. The committee will decide on the matter definitely next
Monday evening.
Plans for the banquet to be given
the members of the league are pro
gressing rapidly. The time of the ban
quet or the place has not been decided but the committees have been appointed to arrange all details. At the meeting last evening it was decided that
each team would, be allowed to have fifteen men at the banquet, outside of the visitors. It is the intention to invite the heads of many of the factories represented, so that plans are being made to entertain 150 men.
SPANGLER QUALIFIES FOR STATE T0UBI1EY Local Golfer Meets Indianapolis Player in First Round of Meet. Earl Spangler, by making a medal score of 86 In the state golP tournament at Marion yesterday, qualified for the championship fight and was scheduled to meet David Baxter of the Highland club, Indianapolis, in the first round today. In the qualifying rouad yesterday Baxter, who is considered one of the best golfers in the state, made a medal score of 82 on the 36-hole course. The other Richmond player, Abraham Stratton, failed to qualify for the championship match, but will play in the committee cup tournament. He was scheduled to meet A. H. Sellken of Riverside club, Indianapolis. In the playing yesterday Seilken made the sensational play of the day by going a 120-foot hole in one stroke, while the bogey play for this is three. Both Richmond men are matched with hard opponents, and it would not be surprising to see them fall early in the tournament Spangler's opponent, especially, is a "tough" one. He is an experienced golfer, and was runner up in a recent state tournament The course at Marion is considered one of the sportiest in the state with a bogey of 39 for the nine holes. It has a large number of natural hazards and is a hard course to get accustomed to, according to players. It is a new course, but is in good condition. Thirty-two men, including Spangler, qualified for the championship fight. They were pair today and the tournament started in earnest. Burr Swezey of Marion made the best score yesterday, going the thirty-six holes in 77, one stroke below bogey. He is count
ed on a probable winner of the tournament. , .
COMMITS KEPLER TO JEFFERSONVILLE Jesse Kepler, the Preble county man who was sentenced from two to fourteen years by Judge Fox in circuit court yesterday for forgery, was taken to Jeffersonville this morning by Sheriff Bayer. Kepler is twenty-five years old and has a record of petty offenses
which culminated in the forging of checks on four local merchants. He had nothing to say this morning to Sheriff Bayer when he was being taken
to the station.

LIGHT PLANT FUNDS WILL PAY SALARIES Municipal Utility to Help Meet Payments of - Seven City Officials. Following advice given months ago by the public utilities commission, the city will take from the earnings of the light plant one-fourth of the salaries of the officials whose work amounts to that for the plant. The total amount will be $2,675. This will pay one-fourth of the salaries of Mayor Robtins, the three members of the board of works, the city attorney, city controller and deputy city treasurer. These are the officials whose time is taken from actual municipal work for work on the utility. This does not mean an increase in salary of any official. It is merely a saving for the city general fund of $2,675. Arrangements also will be made to pay any damage claims against the plant out of the plant's earnings, instead of from the general fund as the practice formerly was. City Controller McMahan estimates the city's revenue next year at $190,000, received from the following sources : Light plant, $2,675; taxes, $161,500; liquor licenses, $14,800; poll tax, $800; city court, $1,500; parks, $500; interest and commission, $700; all other sources, including licenses, market stall rentals and benefits, $7,525.

PUBLIC CONFIDENCE
As Seen by the General Public confidence Is the greatest asset that any house of business can possess. It is more to bo desired than the ability to make money. There are degrees of public confidence. It may be zero, a minus quantity, or a plus quantity. At zero no confidence exists nobody ia for or against such a house. But this condition can exist only where the house or its goods are unknown, and as soon as the public has given the house a trial It will pass judgment, and public confidence will then be expressed by a plus or minus sign, according to the approval or disapproval of the public as to the goods and policies of the house. If the goods vare not as represented, or if the policies are not In accordance with the ethics of good business, public confidence will drop to a minus quantity and the people will transact business with its competitors wOiose business ideals aro on a higher and more satisfactory plane. If the goods are satisfactory, and if the policies of the house are right, the people will continue to do business with that house and will help to build it up. The plus sign of public confidence is always attached to the name of a house of business that considers service to its customers, absolute integrity with reference to its goods, and high ideals in its business policies, as being of greater consequence than the mere earning of dividends. A well satisfied community of customers is the key to the success of any house of business, and, having established this, dividends will be sure to follow.
