MANAGER SMITH
HAS SECURED SEVERAL
Billy Smith, manager of the Atlanta
baseball team, ia back from hla scout
ing trip through the middle North, re
splendent In a new outfit of clothes
which will make the other Southern
League Beau Brummels sick with envy.
Also, Billy la full of baseball news.
For one thing, he has practically
closed with Harry Ostdlck, last year
with the Canton, Ohio, team of the
Central League, to help Sid Smith out
with the catching for the Crackers next
year. He has also Garry Herman’s
promise of first call on the services ot
Beeker, an outfielder, who led the Cop
per League In batting this year with
ah average of .360.
In addition to this, he has draUs
ready to slip In for six men—three
pitchers, an outfielder, a catcher and a
third baseman. The last-named man
he considers about the very best In the
business.
Beeker will undoubtedly be secured
by Smith. Cincinnati will not be able
to use him next year and Garry Her
man has ugreed to let Smith have him
If Cincinnati does not want him. He
played with the Lake Linden team last
year and looks promising.
Smith was also much Impressed with
Ostdlck. This man got a trial'with
Cleveland a couple of years ago and
showed up well. He is a big man, fast
and a hard hitter.
Smith saw Harley while he was In
Springfield. Dick’s father died while
Smith was In Springfield. He was 70
years old and had always been a great
baseball fan; In fact, he saw a ball
game the Tuesday before' his death,
which occurred on Thursday.
Smith .had several talks with Clark
Griffith, manager of the New York
Americans, while he was In the North,
and says that there seems to be little
change of getting Tom Hughes back
from the Highlanders. He thinks, how
ever, that Griffith may let him have
Leroy, and he has-already been offered
first, call on Sallee, the ex-Birmingham
star. ...
Smith reports' that ' Llebhardt has
made good and that he wlllundoubted-

Foy All Ready For Staten
Chicago, Oct. 12.—George Rohe, the
ex-Southern Leaguer and ex-outlaw
won the third game of the world*#
championship series for the Chicago
Americana here yesterday by lining
out a triple, with three men on baaea
The three runs which hie hit forced
across the pan were the only ones'
made during the day.
The game was the best of the series-
The weather was a bit warmer, the at
tendance much larger and the ball
playing a little higher class. Roth
pitchers were iri rare form. Walsh
■truck out a dozen men and allowed
only one base on balls, while Pfelster
fanned nine.
Eddie Hahn, the ex-New Orleans
star, was badly hurt during the prog
ress of the game. In the sixth Inning
one of Pfeister’s hard-thrown, balls
caught him In the face and he went to
the ground with a fractured beak. He
was forced to leave the game and
O’Neill went In in his place.
The damage to the reputation of the
j National Leaguers was done In the
. sixth Inning.
Tannehlll opened up the inning with
! a single. Walsh was walked and Hahn
! was hit. O’Neill took first for the In-
J Jured man. Things looked bad for tho
! Nationals,, but Jones and Kling were
‘ easy outs, and Rohe, the "flll-ln" man,
, came to bat. Nobody expected any-
! thing especial of him, but he surprised
i them with a three-bagger to left field,
’ which scored three runs—the onlj
three of the game.
During the rest of the contest, as In
all thd previous Innings, the pitchers
had everything their own way and
neither side got a man anywhere near
scoring territory.

as In olden dnya, ready to show us fust

hnd nt the ball park a few months ago
gave a pretty good line oil the two, nnd
Terry was right there with tho speed that
day.
Corbett had better unbuckle all he hnd

will be nice and loose next Wednesday. A
few of the old-timers might drop Terry

Remember bow they doped him to run see-
oud In the Drltt go, and bow' be made that

Joe Humphreys baa arranged for a spe
cial train to Philadelphia Wednesday night
when Terry and Young Corbett meet In
the Qnnkcr City.
Terry le working hnrd at Johnaon'a rood
house, determined to get revenge for hla
two defeats at Young Corbett's hands.
Jack Foy, the local middleweight who
now claims the championship of the
South at iila weight, returned Thurs
day from Kome, where on Wednesday
night he knocked out Joe Rowe, of An
niston, In the aecond round of what
was scheduled to he a twenty-round
fight.
Foy was accompanied by hts trainer
and manager, 8. Ventura.
Foy now challenges Harry Staten,
another local middleweight, to meet
him at 148 pounds for a side bet and
any purse which can be secured. Foy
Is willing to meet Staten at any point
where they offer the money and hopes
for an early chance at hla local rival.
Foy Is practically unmarked as a re
sult of hla fight with Rowe. The only
time that the Anniston fighter landed
was a stray blow to the point of the
Jaw, which sent Foy to the mat. This
jolt raised a small bump, but It was
practically the only lick of any conse
quence which was slipped by the Ala
bama slugger.
Foy was confident from the start and
when the band struck up Dixie as he
entered the ring he did a few dance
steps and brought out a round of ap
plause from the crowd. He went right
at Rowe, was the aggressor an tho
time, and had his man on the jump all
the way. It was ugreed that thero was
to bo no hitting in the clinches, but the
Anniston fighter did not live up to this
and Foy claimed a foul. Maher, who
was refereeing the fight, would not al
low this and afterwards they roughed
It In the clinches to a considerable ex
tent.
The bell was all that saved Rowe 1n
the first round. The Alabaman was
trying to land on his opponent with
swinging blows, but Foy had little trou
ble In warding off these and continu
ally chopped at his man with straight
rights to the stomach, chin and face.
Just before the bell rang Rowe went
down and Maher was forced to help
him up. Thirty seconds more of fight
ing In this round would have put him
out.
In the eecond round Foy went right
after his man and hammered him all
around the ring. Finally, he went
down, and though not clear out, he
crawled behind the referee, who de
clared the fight In Foy’s favor. If Rowe
had come to his feet he would have
soon gone over with a final knock-out.
Manager Ventura Is much encour
aged over the showing his man made
and believes that he will easily be able
to defend his title of champion of tho
South. It Is hoped that time Staten
fight will soon be pulled off.

The University of Mississippi will be
here the last of this week to meet Dan
McGugln's squad of football warriors
on Dudley Field Saturday afternoon.
Tom Hammond, the Mississippi coach
and an old Michigan star In the days
when McGugln was playing football
at Ann Arbor, was here last Saturday
to see the Commodores play, with the
Idea, of course, of getting a line on
their style of work, In an effort to help
his own squad to make a better show
ing.
Before Hammond came up here to
post himself the atmosphere around
Oxford was so heavily laden with
gloom that It would be thought from
the talk going out to the world that
the students there had all Just gradu*
nted from the kindergarten schoole. But
right on top ot this “gloom" talk came
tho game with Maryville, the surprlee
of the South In football circles. The
East Tennessee squad, not even sup
posed to be In the running, started out
by ploying n tie game with the eleven
of Helsman tho Great. They have since
held the University of Alnbama to one
touchdown, nnd played yesterday a 0
to 0 game with Auburn. Neither Ala
bama nor Auburn professes to have
weak teams, but neither could do as
much with Maryville as did Tom Ham
mond's kindergarten class. Mississippi
had first whack nt the Maryville team
and won by a score of 16 to 6. - The
Alabama und Auburn games followed
two days upnrt, the men, of course,
being worse battered up than In the
Mississippi game.
But still tho gloomy talk continues.
Hammond has evidently absorbed this
trait from Yost, who Is great on talk
ing about poor prospects und then do
ing big things.
Hammond was asked If he was writ
ing the articles of misery that were
going out from Oxford, but he only
smiled nnd said nothing. He was also
asked how many old University of Vir
ginia nien he hnd down In Mississippi,
but his only answer wus another smile.
He looked real sad. however, when ask
ed how many men were turning oift for
practice, and whether rain was Inter
fering with his work or not, nnd
launched Into a long explanation ot the
uwful fix ho was In.
Hammond started tn with five of the
old men of Inst year and the same
number of the old scruba, who have In
practice this fall shown up extremely
well. There are other scrubs and suba
there and several promising new tnen.
The old men are Huggins, McLeod,
Bates, Becket and Perkins, and ths old
scrubs showing up most prominently
are Cunningham, Pllklngton, McDon
nell, Beall and Robinson.
It Is usually these gloomy talkers
that put up the stlffest arguments,
and Dan McGugln Is nreparlng the
Commodores accordingly.

Promises to Be a Hummer
Chicago, Oct 12.—Fair and warmer
weather for today is the prediction. The
sun Is shining brightly, but there Is an
unpleasant rawness In the atmosphere,
totally out of keeping with baseball.
The Sox, leading once more In the
thrilling dash for the world'B baseball
championship, assert that they will sur
prise all fkndom by winning the .world’s
series from the Cubs.
Chance and bis men, even though
they are behind, with one game won, to
two for the Sox, are still confident of
the outcome, and vow that they will
win the race.
The Sox have the advantage, as the
Cubs must win two games In succes
slon to beat the White Stockings. • I
tho two teams keep on alternating the
Sox will land the pannant, having the
start of the Cubs by winning the first
game.
The betting became more lively to
day and the White Sox were made even
money men again.
With the men who are taking the
money. It is “toss tip and take your
pick.”
With two games won, and only two
ptore to win, occasionally a rabid White
Sox rooter could be found who wanted
to offer odds on the Sox. This was un
usual, since it was the first .time that
the Sox had been installed as favor
ite*. They were favorites to win the
first game.on their own grounds, but
lost. They were made favorites again
today, tho price being 7 to-5, but only
as winner of the home game. Should
they win today they will become pro
nounced favorites for the world's cham
pionship.
