(Attacks Unjust, Mem
bers Assert Sanction
of Park Commission to
' Be Sought
By SANDY McNIBLICK
AM EVIL llRht has been cast on tho latest
Jri-organlzatlon of Philadelphia golfers, and
In many ways tho Infant club haB been mis
represented. Tho organization, started by BO charter
members, composed of players nt tho new
public course, Is puroly n tentative organl
cation pending tho approval of tho Park
Commission. A committee will bo ap
pointed at tho next meeting, which will bo
held tonight at the Adelphla, to wait on tho
Park Commission. If tho now body docs
rot meet with tho approval of tho com
missioners It will disband, but Us members
hopo that this will not bo the case.
The flrBt notlco of tho club sent out ap
plied tho name "Philadelphia Golf Club" to
tho body, contemplated a feo of $6, payable
romlannually, and had "friendship, sociabil
ity and tho best wclfaro of tho Cobb's
Creek course and Its users, Irrespectlvo of
their membership In tho club" bb tho key
note of tho new club.
In a preliminary statement of those most
Interested In tho club, It was said that tho
members would apply for membership In tho
Golf Association of Philadelphia, since It
was felt that In this way tho golf associa
tion could back up the public course which
It had been most Instrumental In getting for
tho city.
. Name Changed
At tho first meeting which was held on
Thursday, night at tho Illtz-Carlton, It was
'decided tA chango tho name of tho club to
fitho "Cobb's Creek Golf Club," In order that
I Jit might not bo confused with other local
clubs.
Tho feo fus voted out, and In Its place,
membors will bo charged possibly a dollar.
Tho nmount. which will bo nominal, will bo
decided later.
It was dcoldcd to tfpon tho club to every
one registered at tho public course.
Tournaments will bo held, It was decided,
on Saturdays and holidays, whenever feas
ible, and tho members can enter for a small
Xco to cover tho prizes. Thoso chosen to
head tho now club wero tho ones that had
vonkcd tho hardest for Its formation. It
,wa pointed out to tho members that their
club could not obtain membership In tho
' polf Association of Philadelphia becauso
of two rules.
' This Idea was dropped and tho members
decided to go forward as a puroly social
organization to bring tho players at Cobb's
Creek closer together and to havo an or
ganized head for tho Ideas, suggestion and

about 10 o'clock tho gallery that swung

Becauso of tho Bhort nature of this course,

figured In tho triple play-off with Charles
Hoffner and Hagen, was matched by a good

eighth hole In one yesterday, got nway well
In company with James Thomson, of the

Shortly after noon Loving and Alec Milne

that would do justice to the best. He took
a. E on the first hole, a 4 on tho second and
a 6 on the third. He had a 3 on the 4th

Interests of tho players at tho municipal
course to go through,
Tho new club Is composed, with few ex
ceptions, of beginners who play tho public
course becauso they cannot tako up golf
In a country club on account of tho expense
or olso becauso tho public course Is handi
est for them and they llko tho links.
Members of tho club declared hotly today
that tlicro was no Intention of obtaining a
monopoly of anything at tho public links,
nor to obtain privileges that wero not open
to nonmembers.
"Soclnbllity" Is Keynote
Many persons nre kept away from tho
links becauso thoy can Induce, no ono to
"try his hand" at tho gamo and aro thoro
foro minus a partner.
It Is llttlo sport to play alone day after
day and members feel that through tho
now club every ono will get to know tho
rest.
It Is felt that If tho needs ot tho body
aro presented to tho Commissioners through
representatives of tho regular players nt
tho courso tho former will havo a truer
and simpler way of deciding appropriate
recommendations nnd other problems than
would bo tho cases If the members acted
purely as Individuals. Tho Idea of tho
club Is not n new ono by any manner of
means, slnco It Is In voguo In NeW York,
Chicago and nearly all other largo cities
vshero there nre municipal links.
In most of tlicso cities tho clubs aro
members of tho sectional golf associations.
A democratic spirit prevails and club
tournaments nro entirely open to players
from tho city courses. A team from tho
Garfield Park Golf Club, from tho public
courso at Chicago, plays teams from Mid
lothian, Maywood and other expensive clubs
on thoso links.
Tho tentative, board of governors for tho
Cobb'a Creole Golf Club Is made up bb fol

Rube Oldring's Absence
Mystery to Yankee Team
NEW YORK, July 18.
WHETHER Rube Oldring will be
in the Yankees' line-up today
was the big question at tho Polo
Grounds. The former Philadelphia
star, who came to the Yanks three
days ago, and helped bust up a ball
game on Saturday, was missing from
tho right garden when the Yanks
took the field for the double bill with
Detroit yesterday.
Germany Schacfer claims there is
only one rattler out of Shiloh, where
Rube hoes potatoes between games,
and that if Oldring missed that
there was no use in worrying about
him. The chances are that Rube
will be seen in action today, if the
alarm clock goes oiT.

HEeZOG
CHARLEY HERZOG ANXIOUS
TO BECOME A MEMBER OF
PAT MORAN'S CHAMPIONS
This Is Cause of Delay in the Proposed Cincinnati
New York Trade Might Replace Milton
Stock at Third Base
By CHANDLER
TUG fans throughout tho country, par
ticularly those ot Now York nntl Cincin
nati, aro led to bollevo that tho Mathewoon
l?jg i:al has b---en hcltUup becauso 4 Is
... ry to got Cio panctlon of tho bonrd
of directors of tho Cincinnati club before
tho pact can bo closed, but such Is not tho
case. Tho real reason for tho delay Is thnt
Manager Herzog has not, and probably will
not, consent to his transfer to New York, for
tho very excellent reason that ho wants to
join tho I'hllllcs.
Local fans, no doubt, will bo very much
surprised to learn this, but It Is a fact.
When the Iteda woro In thla city Herzog
admitted that he was tired of the manager
ial position at Cincinnati and would not
servo nfter August 1 under tho present
board ot directors.
He stated nt tho time that ho had a clause
In his contract which would prcicnt tho
Iteds from trndlng or Belling him to nny
other club without his full consent and
unless ho got a new contract from the club
to which ho was sent. proldlng he did not
want to play In that city under tho terms of
his old contract.
To Pick Team
Herzog Insisted that he was going to pick
his team or there would bo no deal, and the
lied owners hnd to give him his uncondi
tional release or retain him, which ho knew
was out ot the question. Asked what team
he wanted to play with, Herzog surprised
us very much by answering "The Phillies,
It Is Hcrzog's desire to play with tho
Phillies that is holding up tho Cincinnati
New York deal, and if tho Phllly owners aro
willing to meet Herzog's terms there will
be nothing for the Iteds to do but permit tho
wonderful tnfielder to come to this city.
It Is not likely that Herzog will ask an
exorbitant salary from the Phillies, and
ho probably will be content to work under
the terms of his present contract, so anxious
Is ho to join the mimes.
Tho unlimited purso of the New ork
Club may prove too much of- a temptation
for the Marylander. nnd It Is possible that
he will agree to the deal, but we do not
think so. Herzog sees little chance to share
in tho world's series' receipts In New York,
whereas he Is convlnpod that he can
strengthen the Phillies enough to clinch the
pennant.
Hustling Player
That the Phils would bo a heavy favorite
for the -nnant with Herzog In tho line-up
Is the unanimous opinion of baseball men,
and It Is hoped that he can be gotten by
the local team. He la a hustling, lighting
player, who would be Invaluablo to the
champions In the late stages of the race.
If Herzog should be gotten by the Phil
lies it Is not known where he would be
used, but It is safe to say that It would be
Impossible to Beep mm mui ui u nhii
Uno-up. With Bancroft hitting much bet
ter It Is likely Herzog would replace Stock
at third, as tho latter Is not playing as well
as he did In 1316.
Just where Manager Moran stands on this
subject Is not known, but the Cincinnati
leader Intimated to the writer last month
that he had told one of the big men In the
local club where he stood, and that he la
really awaiting Moran's arrival In Cincin
nati before he permits the deal to go
through.
President Baker has left Brooklyn, sup
posedly for Pittsburgh; but It would not be
surprising If he turned up In Cincinnati
tomorrow, when tho Phillies arrive there.
Herzog'a Reasons
Herzog has several excellent reasons for
wishing to play In Philadelphia. He be
lieves that the Phils hate a wonderful
chance to win the pennant for one thing,
but his real reason is that It will permit
him to run down to his home at RIdgley,
Md. to see his family oftener. Herzog'a
mother was stricken with paralysis a short
time ago, and she Is now unable to leave
her bed, and the hustling shortstop wants
to be as near to her aa possible.
In discussing the matter with the writer
at the Majestic Hotel when the Reds were
here on their last visit' Herzog said: "It
really does not matter much to me If I do
leave Cincinnati, because I am going to
pick my future club. I have a mighty
good contract, which prevents the Cincin
nati club from trading or Balling nte with
out my consent, and 1 am going to bo to
a team I want to play with If I decide to
give up managing.
"What team am I going to pick? Why,
the Phillies. If Moran haa any room for
tne, and I think he has. I talked to a cer
tain gentleman about belnj- switched to
PhtUy some time ago. and 1 was given to
understand that I was wanted here In
case anything turns up which causes me
to lose out la Cincinnati.
"I think Moran and I would get along
3)jfh 1
l4l' 1
D. RICHTER
well, becauso I llko Pat and I am tho
easiest fellow In tho world to get along
with. I nm alck and tired of managing,
nnd nothing would pleaso mo better than
to play with Moran. Now, understand, I
have not talked to Moran or Ba7or. nnd
they may not want me. Owners and mnn
ngers do not tamper with players under
contract, much less managers ; bo I really
don't know Just where I btand, but If
tho showdown comes, I am going to pick
my club, nnd It will bo tho Phillies."
Indians Tomorrow
Tho Cleveland Indians, badly crippled
oulng to tho absence of Guy Morton, nro
due to open tholr second scries of tho
season In this city tomorrow and local
fans nre extremely anxious to see whether
Fold's team looks as good as It did on
Its first Invasion. Apparently the team Is
going oven better, but tho pitching staff
has been shot to piccci nnd this has been
rcsponnlble for tho loss of the lend.
Ray Chapman, one of tho most brilliant
young Infleldora In tho game, will make
his first local nppoarnnco at short. When
tho Indians wero hero beforo Chapman
was recovering from a broken leg and Bill
Wambsganns wan at short, with Turner
on third nnd Ivan Howard at second.
Wambsganns has replaced Howard at
second but tho rest of tho team Is lined
up tho samo.
Pitching Sensations
Fohl'3 two latest pitching sensations will
Interest tho fans. One of them is Fred
Beebe, tho veteran pitcher who once wore
a Phllly uniform, while the other Is Gould,
a recruit from Davenport, who -was re
cently purchased nnd who has pitched two
great games for Fohl.
Gould Is n team-mate of catcher Meyer,
of tho Athletics and Jess Barnes, Itho
Braves' star young pitcher. Ho Is the
pitcher manager Mack was looking over
when he picked up Meyer, and he has been
a minor-league sensation for several years.
When n member of tho Muscatlno team,
virtually every major-league club sent a
scout to look him over after he had pitched
a string of sensational games, but they
passed him up bcecause of his size.
Tho youngster la one of the smallest
pitchers In the game, according to Mack,
and that Is why he has been passed up
so often until Fohl, with his staff crippled,
decided to take a chance on Gould. Ira
Thomas and Mack both declare that Gould
has a world of stuff, but will not last
long.
EBBETSANDWEEGHMAN
STILL AFTER HERZOG
Herrmann, However, Wants
Mnthewson, nnd Will Await
Conference With Hempstead
CINCINNATI, O., July 18. Charley
Weeghman, owner of the Chicago Cubs, and
Charlie Ebbets. owner of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, were due to arrive here today to
renew their bidding for Charles Herzog,
manager of the Reds.
Previous propositions made by these
magnates were turned down by the Reds,
but now that the proposed trade of Her.
zog to the New York Giants is being held
up, they believe they can land the Red
leader.
Before Kbbets and Weeghman will bo
given a chance to obtain Herzog, either for
cash or players, or a combination of both,
strenuous efforts will be made by Garry
Herrmann to come to terms with Presi
dent Hempstead, of the Giants.
Herrmann is anxious to land Christy
Mathewson as his next manager, but will
not accept him with the New York club
retaining the right to recall him at the end
of two years, a condition Hempstead now
Insists upon. Herrmann expects to get Into
touch with Hempstead today. The latter
may come here.

FUTURE OF RACING
WITHOUT BETTING
STILL IN DOUBT
Second Day of Meeting at
Hawthorne Draws Poorly,
Crowds Placing Wagers
CHICAGO, July 18. Reports ot exten
sion of tho present 13-day racing meet at
Hawthorne today were denied. An olllclal
of tho Illinois) Jockey Club, which has tho
meet In charge, said :
"If more than 13 days of racing aro held,
It will not bo under tho supervision of tho
Illinois Jockey Club. Maybo some Indi
vidual will make tho attempt, but I hnvo
heard nothing of It."
The success of racing without bookmnk
Ing nt tracks In the Middle West was still
In doubt today. While Derby d.ty, Satur
day, attracted 25,000 people, Monday's at
tendance wns less than 5000. A largo ma
jority of tho raco fans remained ilow mti
nnd watched their wagers with tho hand

track.

Kor. while Iluile won but few games for
the lted citadel, Mathewson In 16 yenrs
has won 3G1! games for New York, against
176 defeals And In five of thoso 16 years
Mathewson has been ono of the premier
factors In lifting tho Glnnts Into first place.
In Justice to llcds
In view of this pnst history, It would
bo only justice for Itcdland to get back the
man sho turned adrift nearly two decades
ago
There Is no telling what baseball fortunes
In both cities would have been changed If
C'Inrlnii.-itt hnd decided to hold tho tall
young recruit nnd let Ituslo remain In New
Yotk.
As It is, it would be fitting for Matty
to return to where ho started nnd ns n
manager make up for tho many defeats
ho would have saved as a Itcdland star.
Will iMatty Deliver?
AVo havo been asked anywhere from 9S0
to in.980 times Just what sort of manager
Mnthewson would make.
Tho test alono can determine this, for n
manager to make a name needs three fac
tots the ability, tho material and his
shnro of tho luck. Tho few great mana
ger", such as McOraw nnd Mack, have been
nble to develop or to get tho material from
tlmo to tlmo. This Is proven by the fact
that together they havo won 11 pennants
with flo bullt-ovcr machines, nut, leav
ing nil that aside, there Is no reason now
In cvldenco why Matty shouldn't mako an
Ideal leader.
To begin with, ho has rare Judgment and
it keen brnln. Ho has all the experience tn
actual play there happens to bo. He has
been trained under ono of tho wisest men
that baseball over has known. No other
plnyer would carry greater rcepect. Ho has
the necessary firmness, for his nature Is
moro of the declslvo typo than tho con
templative. No man has been moro liked
or moro respected, for when he was at
work It was generally recognized that three
factors were on tho Job a great arm, a
great head and a world of courage.
McGraw Still Fighting
In place of two smashed setbacks, John
MeGiaw has not yet srn u? !ia lkttJa
ngalnst Brooklyn, Boston ad tho Phillies
Tim AfTilltlnns hn hns mnrin tn ni.q rltili
ywllt give him a new start, and If ho can
get his men nway from tho Jinx Idea nt
horns ho still hns a chance with his great
offensive power to get up around tho peak.
The Giant record away from homo has been
suillclent to put the club well into tho lead,
nnd If It ever getB tho Idea back that a
winning strenk also can bo started upon
home sod, there may be four clubs left
In the National Leaguo hace In .placo of
only three.
