a score of 292 to 291. The big game

Herrmann Winner
in a Player Deal;
Handed Rich Stake
New York, Feb. 14.—When "Garry"
Herrmann left for Cincinnati yester
day he was ahead of the game just
SI,OOO, that amount having been won
from Samuel Llchtenheim, owner of
the Montreal club on a wager that
President Herrmann of the Cincin
nati "Reds" would land a certain
player within two hours after he
started negotiations.
Last Fall the Philadelphia Nation
als sent Outfielder Doc Miller to
Montreal, but recently Miller has been
flirting with the Baltimore Federals.
Lichtenheim, it seems, could not sign
him, and when asked by Herrmann
yesterday to explain the reason, ho
said to the Cincinnati magnate:
"I will bet you SI,OOO to $lO that
you cannot sign Miller inside of two
hours."
Herrmann put up a $lO bill in the
hands of a stakeholder and told Lich
tenholm that he did not have to post
his money. Lichtenheim, believing
that Miller was in Philadelphia, rub
bed his hands together and chuckled.
Herrmann, who knew that Miller was
practicing medicine about three
blocks away from tho hotel, disap
peared, and in one hour and twenty
five minutes by the watch he returned
with the player's signed contract,
much to the consternation of the
Montreal magnate, who, however,
paid the bet with a display of good
humor.

eral League circuit practically set
tled so that organized baseball knows
what it has to contend with and

ment was drawn up between Evers

Will Lease Maximus
For Tri-State Games
Heading, Pa., Feb. 14. —That the
owners of the Heading Tri-State base
ball club have fully decided to lease
tho Circus Maximus in preference to
Lauer's park for the coming season
was indicated yesterday by the fact
that Jacob L. Weitzel, representative
of the local club, received word from
John Myers stating that he should ar
range for a conference with the direc
tors of the Farmers' National Bank,
which controls the modern Twelfth
street plant.
In his letter Mr. Myers stated that
he would come here early next week.
He will meet the directors of the bank
and it is a certainty that he will lease
the big park for the games this sea
son. When Mr. Myers was here a
week ago he stated that he was not
much impressed with Lauer's park
and that it would cose several thou
sand dollars to put it in condition.
The backers of the local club built a
new park at Atlantic City last season
and lost nearly SIO,OOO. Instead of
putting out any money this season
for building or improving grounds,
they want to use the cash to buy new
players and put a pennant winner
here.
