NATIONAL RAGE CONTINUES HOT FOR ALL. NINES Manager Herzog. of Reds Buys New Players Although Team Fails to Win Regularly. BY C. H. ZUBER. - CINCINNATI. July 21. While there have been several changes in position in National League race during past week, quest for flag is as exciting as ever, there being no team among the entire eight that can be declared to be out of the running for the flag. Although the Reds eastern trip has not been as brilliant as it might have been in the milter of victories, the team seems to be playing a higher class of base ball than at any time this season, and It is certain that when- the next home series is on, beginning with a game with the Phillies next Sunday, there is going to be something definite doing in the way of a climb up the percentage ladder. Manager Herzog is adding players to the team as the opportunity offers, and there is every reason to believe that the team will make an exceedingly strong finish by reason of these changes and the fact that the pitching staff is showing steady improvement. f Watch New Players. ' Cincinnati fans are keeping a close watch, on the work of the three latest Reds Bill Rodgers, second baseman, Kenneth Williams. ' outfielder, . and Pitcher McKonery. The latter has not worked up to the present writing, but Is described as a husky youth, with a physique a la Jess Willard and the speed of a frightened aeroplane. Williams, also a young giant, has been hitting consistently since being sent out to center field and also shows much speed, especially when-his great size Is considered. Rodgers seem3 to have won his way to a permanent job at second, as Manager Herzog has allowed Olsen Swede. It is promised that these three recruits, and any others that may be added between now and the end of the week, will be placed on exhibition against the Phillies next Sunday. v Stay at Front. Speaking of the Phillies, there is a team which now is engaged in slamming the baseball to all corners of the compass. When the Quakers, after their flying get-away, were forced back on even terms with several other teams, the wise gezaboes were there with the "I-toldyou-so" stuff and predicted that never again would Pat Moran and his hired men see first place. But while the Phillies have dropped as low as third since their initial spurt, they are right up there in front again and there is no reason why they shouldn't stay in the running right along. Moran has whipped his team Into good shape and has inspired them with the enthusiasm necessary to ken the boys hustling. Moran promises to keep his team right up there in front zut there is a prospect that he'll get a jolt in the ambition - when he faces the Reds here next Sunday. PENCE LOSES TROPHY NEW PARIS, O., July 21. By defeating M. H. Pence, former holder of the King roque medal, last night, Carl Johns, challenger, of Campbellstown, acquired possession of the prize for the next thirty days. Johns defeated Pence in the last game of the series, 32-16. This gave the series to Johns, because of the throwing out of an unfinished game when Pence was in the lead. The standing for the series was: Pence, 2; Johns, 3; draw. 1; unfinished, 1. The decision will be contested. WANT CURTAIN RAISER i-meup for the All-Star team which will play Muncie here Sunday is as follows: Sullivan, c; Taggart, Bailey and Muhl. p; Knight, ib; Fry, 2b; Allison, ss; Niebuhr, 3b; Black, Roach, Rust, Bauley, out fielders ; Meier, utility infielder. Negotiations are being made by the S A. L. directors to book a curtain raiser between a picke dteam and the Red Sox. GIRLS ARE AFRAID TO PLAY BASEBALL Because five girl candidates for his team shied at fast pitched balls and were afraid to get in front of hard grounders, Harry Miller has abandoned the idea of having a girls baseball team in Richmond. He will organize a boys team. CALLS OFF GAME Because the Elwood team has disbanded owing to the poor season, the Vigran-Elwood game scheduled for next Sunday has been cancelled. WANTS GAME Summitsvllle, Ohio, baseball team Is Keeking a game with Richmond and it is probable that a date will be arranged. Carl Rupe and Frank Williams, two former Richmond pitchers are holding places as twirlers for the Summitsville line-up. POSTPONE GAME Richmond although supposed to have a game scheduled next Sunday at Connersville with the team of that place will not play because Rushville and Connersville are making plans to Play a game at that time. Richmond players do not know why Connersville sidestepped the date with the local team.

ALEXANDER AS FRESH

r Pat Moo-aK SicKUrCT AND J V tWlV WAMT' ' Keeps Zyfis I

Pat Moran has had Judgment enough not to work Alexander to death. The Nebraska simoon is as fresh now as he was back in April, and as a result he is .far more effective than if he had been sent out of bis turn to try so save a losing venture. One great star like Alexander can keep a club, off the chutes, for at least every fourth day ; he can check a losing ' streak and toss his clan back into the right' path. .This was one of the great values of Christy Mathewson back in his prime. The big Giant not, only produced victories, but confidence. ;l : ' , . -

SPORT The man who listens to the pro and con arguments on golf and then tries to form a definite conclusion as to the good or harm in the game ultimately will be cast into the padded cell. ; Golf, according to the pros, cures nervousness and it creates nervousness, according to the con men. It's a great game for ministers and it's the worst game a minister can play. It develops character and tears It down. It grows hair on bald heads and it causes men to lose their hair. Golf is everything that is good and golf is the superlative of wicked. Is it any wonder that those who try to figure out the game and its benefits, or its harm, soon throw up the sponge and admit defeat, rather than go on figuring and so run the chance of confinement in the "nut" sanitariums? The general opinion has been that ministers should fight shy, of the golfing game. Golf develops many annoying situations. Golf causes a loss of temper and cuss words bring the only relief. If cussing is part of golf a minister shouldn't monkey around with golf balls, golf clubs and such. That's been the common belief. W. MAN CHESTER, 0.

NOW AS IN APRIL

But now comes one Rev. Daniel, T. Denman, writing in the Golfers Magazine, who says and. most emphatically says that ministers should play golf. " . V ..' "A minister is beset with danger," says Rev. Denman. "One of the greatest dangers he faces is that he will cease to be human' unless he devotes a certain part of , his time to some heath-giving sport. Therefore, he should try golf. "If a minister ceases being human if he becomes all spiritual he loses his hold on men, especially on young men. There is nothing that will keep a man human more than occasional engaging in sport. And there is no better sport than golf. "A minister should play golf because it keeps him out in the open, because it gives him beneficial exercise and develops the ability . to co-ordinate brain and muscle in doing a thing of skill. Golf reveals unsuspected resources ; it cultivates the grace of body; it calls up courage and brings out the fighting spirit. It gives the minister a physical dominance which serves him well in the presence of men." Brown and wife of Dayton, A. W. Newman and Clenerd Newman and wives were in New Paris Sunday, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Rube Young. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Davisson are entertaining the Misses Alma Williams and Eva Stanton of Muncie, Ind. HIGH LIFE BEER

"Preparations for the win ter's campaign have already been made by the German general i 6taff. The harvest outlook is excellent.. I visited in the great , agricultural district of Germany shortly before I left home. There are vast areas of wheat, rye and potatoes. "We do not lack for meat. Food supplies are plentiful, but the prices are higher. -It is not true that parking strips in the cities have been planted n crops."Life in the big , cities and in the country districts goes on in its usual routine of work and play. In Cologne where I resided for many months, the concerts and theatres were drawing large crowds; people joke and laugh on the streets; contentment is seen everywhere. , Dancing is tabooed, but that is the only form of amusement that has been curtailed. Women Supplant Men. "Women have come to the front these days. You see them on the trolley cars, taking the place of men, wearing uniforms and caps, and handling the transportation problem of Germany as if they had done it for years. Women have stepped Into the places of men and gladly and enthusiastically are looking after the interior welfare of the country while the men are fighting in the east and west. In the country districts, women are helping to harvest the crops. The spirit of the German women in this crisis Is wonderful. Even the children have become imbued of the patriotic impulse and are helping in the fields." Miss Lehmann said the only noticeable departure from peace-time routine is the absence of men. She said there were thousands of men in uniform in the garrison towns, who have not; been called to the front, and are waiting to supplant regiments in Poland and France. , . Lack Cotton. "The embargo on cotton may be fatal to us," she continued. "At present there is no dearth. The general staff has a large and suiff icient supply for the army. "French and Russian prisoners enjoy their stay in Germany. While I was speeding along the railroad, French prisoners employed along the right-of-way took off their caps and waved them at us in jolly salutation. They seem to be happy. Hundreds of Russians voluntarily come over to our lines. Prisoners are distributed over the whole German empire." Miss Lehmann said she had no trouble in leaving Germany, although the Dutch authorities subjected her to examination, going through her baggage carefully. German newspapers and magazines were taken from passengers on the liner, she said. One of her traveling companions, wLo came from Hungary, had some love letters from her sweetheart written in that language. The Dutch officials could
