HERZOG WHIPS REDS IN SHAPE FORJIOME LOT Cincinnati Manager Hopes to Climb Percentage Ladder During Series on Own Diamond in June. BY C. H. ZUBER. CINCINNATI, May 19. Now that it Is practically admitted that the Federal league has shot its bolt, and that the spirit of outlawry which this organization fostered has been a boomerang to the Feds by saddling them vith a few contracts that call for normous salaries, one must admire he loyalty and honesty displayed by he great majority of players in organized base ball. Temptations of the most alluring .ort were held out to the stars of the ')ig leagues, but the cases were rare vhere this bait was snapped up. The ,ou to the two big leagues did not average one real star to a team, 60 'hat there was but little crippling of 'he big circuit organizations, while (he Feds did not secure a sufficient number of high class men to give them any standing. In a business way i he Feds are not doing near as well l his season as last, Chicago being the only team showing any bright returns, and there only on Sunday. Baltimore, which was a bright spot last season, Is playing to $30 or $40 a game this year, rausine its backers to lose hundreds of 1 ' -s daily. And 'twill be vni'H. R- -.turn Heme. Bv the t;r.

Mj SO. .Manager Herzog will have whipped his team into proper shape for the strenuous summer campaign, of wtiich the first month, embracing nearly all of June, will be fought out on the local lot. The Red leader has about come to the conclusion that his experiment of trying to develop Catcher Ivy Wingo into an outfielder is not to be crowned with success, and so the clever south-( am backstop will he used in connection with Tom Clarke and Charlie I Dor in in the receiving; department.

PENNSY OUTFIT LIKES BENDERS USED BY OTTEN

Railroaders Bat in Ten Runs in Game With Knights of Columbus Hale Nips Young Rally. The K. of C.'s took the count last night at Athletic park when they bucked up against the strong Pennsy outfit which had its batting cjothes on and went after teh offerings of Ollie Otten in the most threatening manner not stopping until they had batted in ten runs, while Brunner was holding the Knights off allowing them only two in five innings. Frank Hale came to the front with a shoe string catch in right doubling Jim Harrington off second and putting an end to a rally which had been started by the Knights. Gillispie and Irish Fitzgibbons batted for a perfect percent for the winners while Brennen did likewise for the losers. Umpire Butler narrowly missed lynching when he announced in a deep baritone voice in the third inning that a ball which was fair without a doubt was foul. How it happened. Pennsy. A.B. R. H. P.O. A.

PLAY DOUBLE BILL AT ATHLETIC PARK

Two games wili be staged at Athletic Park Saturday instead of one by the S. A. I. because of the Garfield track meet at the playgrounds. The A S. M. and Natco's will hook up in the first battle, starting at 2:00 o'clock and both aggregations are gathering their forces together for the fray as they are tied for second place in the league standing. Kinder who plays in the K. of C. league will be given a tryout by the Seeders playing the short field for them. He should make a valuable addition to last year's champs as he is a good hitter and can field pretty consistent. Natco was so good last Saturday that they will use the same lineup again and expect theier hitting to pull them out the winner. The second game will be a fight right from the go with two of the likeliest contenders for the flag battling, the Vigrans at present out ahead in the race and the Ad-Hills in second place. Both boast of good twirlers and much hitting strength. BARNEY MAY PILOT GAR MADE IN U. S, INDIANAPOLIS, May 19 Barney Oldfield's appeal to reason, addressed to American racing car builders on the subject of their misapprehension of his worth as driver, seems to have had its effect, for now Barney is prominently mentioned as pilot of the third Maxwell in the next Indianapolis 500-mile race, to team with Carlson and Rickenbacher, already named. Barney is already entered in the Hoocier contest at the wheel of a Bugatti, and, of course, could not take on a Maxwell without Charles H. Fuller, the owner's consent. Nevertheless, it is rumored that an agreement between the interested parties has been reached, and that Barney, accordingly, will be seen in the seat of the American car. George Hill, Barney's mechanician, is to handle the Bugatti under the new arrangement, leaving the veteran free to follow his fancy's dictates. Oldfield, when interviewed about the matter, stated he knew nothing, which, with Barney, is a sure sign there is something doing. At any rate, the wiseacres have their ears to the ground, waiting for something to drop. If the deal with Oldfield falls through, it is thought Ray Harroun, manager of the Maxwell team, will drive the car. PULLEN RUNS MERCER INDIANAPOLIS, May 19. Kddie Pullen, world's long distance road racing champion, and his Mercer string have hopped into the melee at the Indianapolis motor speedway preliminary to the next Indianapolis 500mile race, arriving on the scene of action with three of the raciest looking fliers the world has ever seen. These are the cars that are touted by the wiseacres as being faster than anything Europe has ever produced. Mounting motors that are said to turn ever 3,900 revolution a minute without a drop 'n power, they are expected to furnish an extraordinary performance. VIGRANS BOOK GRAYS The Vigran's next game will be with the New Paris Grays Sunday at that place. A real battle will result when these two good aggregations get together. The two are about the class of amateur teams in this section according to their record so far and followers of the two are expecting the best game of the season. The Vigrans claim to have it on the Grays on form shown as they defeated the Somerville team while the Grays lost. The Grays however feel that things were against them in this battle and that with an even break the Richmond team will go down to a humiliating defeat. CY REQUESTS BERTH Cy Wallace of Earlham fame will put in his application to the Richmond Club for a birth as pitcher. Cy has gotten by pretty regularly for the Quakers and ought to make a good man for the big team. If not used in the box, Cy would make a good man in the outfield as he is a hitter extraordinary, banging them far to the outfield when he does connect. RED SOX MEET The Richmond Red Sox will hold a meeting Friday night at Brehm's store, when Manager McCleery requests that all be on hand, as business of importance will come up for consideration. The Sox will meet Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock at Fifth and Main streets, where they will take a truck for Hagerstown, which team they play on that date.

Browns 3 2 .600 Williams 1 2 .333 Grimes 0 4 v .000 Porters, 6; H. Browns, 5. In the last and .deciding game of the High School league season at the Playgrounds, the Porters won out over the H. Browns and are the champions for this season. The game went six innings, the Porters making a last rally in the fifth inning and tieing up the score. Brumley, the first man up in the sixth for the Porters, pulled a single over the first sack and immediately set sail for second, arriving safe by a wide margin. He scored on the next ball pitched with the aid of a couple of wild heaves by the opposing team. " In the absence of Foster, who was unable to play with the losers because of a broken thumb last week, O'Niel was used behind the bat and caught as pretty a game as could be wanted. Captain Porter led his team both at the bat and in the field, arising to the occasion in the fifth inning when a hit meant a possible tie for his team with a long double into right center, and in the same inning, with his team in the field, rushed in on a wild throw to third when an opponent was caught between the bases, and nipped him without an inch to spare. The H. Browns looked to be the winner in the second round when they tallied four times, and followed it up in the third with one, while the Porters had not been able to score a single one. This was the last bit of scoring, however, that the winners would allow, and by running in one in the fourth, four in the fifth and one in the sixth, they won. No attention will be given Captain Leroy Brown of the L,. Browns, who has endeavored to protest a decision in last w eek's game by Umpire Maier. Brown's participation in an argument in the game yesterday caused his expulsion from the field. H. Browns. A.B. R. H. P.O. A. E.

Leisburg, O., defeated the Farmersville, O., team Sunday by the overwhelming score of 11 to 1. The effective twirling of the clever southpaw, Hammond, was too much for the losers who gathered but four hits. Kester and Johnson featured with the bat for the winners while Cahill, the former Kitty League player was a whirlwind on the bases, doubling in the eighth. He stole second and later stole home.

ENTRE NOUS ISSUE BROAD CHALLENGE

The Entre Nous club will be in the field Sunday with a baseball team which they claim will be some sweet aggregation by the time it is worked over. Two picked teams from the club membership will indulge in a practice game at Natco park. From the showing made by the different players a team to be known as the Entre Nous will be selected and challenges issued to the various secret societies. They are especially anxious to meet the K. of C.'s and Elks and would like to have an expression from them regarding a game or series of games. RACERS ENTER TRIALS INDIANAPOLIS, May 19. King Speed and his statellites hold court at Indianapolis motor speedway this week, the efforts of contestants in the next Indianapolis 500-mile race to court his favor culminating in the elimination trials for that contest, May 20, 21, and 22. Thirty-three out of the forty one cars nominated are to prove themselves eligible for the race under the law of the survival of the fittest, the other eight passing into oblivion. The bitterest kind of competition is expected to result, each contestant straining himself to the limit, inasmuch as a hundredth of a second, the fraction to which the electric timing instrument is adjusted, may throw him out.
