NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
With all the smoke there has been about managerial changes
in the Southern League, it seems as though there ought to be
some lire.
But, as fsr as anybody can learn, the eight managers who
were leading the Southern League teams at the first of this season,
will be doing the same thing next season.
One man can be considered a certainty—Charles Frank of
New Orleans. Just so long as the present Pelican chief wants his
job he is going to hold it. Charley has the job cinched because he
owns a large chunk of baseball stock.
They can’t throw him out if they want to, and they don’t
want to. Charley Frank, with all his faults, has as long a head
as any man in the business and he can come os near to getting a
pennant winner as any man who ever headed a ball club in the
South.
Atlanta, Birmingham, Shreveport and Little Rock are regard
ed as proof against managerial changes for a year to come, at least.
The Atlanta directors have been on record for some time.
They believe that Billy Smith has done as well ns any manager
could, and financially the game is good. So why should they
change1
Bill Smith has given Atlanta n team which wore Memphis to
a frazzle to keep it out of second placo last year, and which is
giving the same team the awfullest rub in the world for the pen
nant this year.
The Birmingham manager has not made good this year, but
it has not been altogether his fault, and from the fact that his club
directors have sent him out scouting for next year’s team, it
seems likely that he will be at the old stand next year.
Tom Fisher has had a double dose pf hard luck in Shreve
port, but he has shown plenty of managerial ability, and doubt
less the directors of the Shreveport club are satisfied. If there
are any rumors of a change in Shreveport they have not been very
loud ones.
And Little Rock is in the same boat, only more so. In spite
of enough hard luck to drivo a man to suicide, the genial and
crafty Mike Finn has put a team in tho field that has been the
wonder of the league and which may give the best of them a rub
for second place yet. '
A certain amount of uncertainty always hovers over Mont
gomery, but nothing has been said about quitting the league and
with the Pretzels in the game again John Malarkey will doubt
less be found at their head. This is Smiling John’s first year as
a manager and he has done well. There is certainly no reason
why Malarkey should not get his job back if he wants it.
Johnny Dobbs is uncertain. As has been chronicled before in
these columns, Johnny must cnose between his team and his milk
route.
Tho one best bet, though, is tho team. Johnny’s debut as a
manager has not been a brilliant histrionic success, but hard luck
has been more to blame than John, and doubtless he can have his
job back if he wants it

Memphie, Tenn., Aug. 21.—Joey
Bills against Russell Ford is the of
fering in the first game of the
double bill here Wednesday. It had
been planned to play two games
Thursday, but It was decided to
push up the double-header to
Wednesday, in order not to be beat
en out of two games if it happened
to rain on Thursday. A single
game will be played tomorrow.
Except for the pltchere, the line
up In today’e game will be the same
as in Tuesday’s contest.
Count Castro is still out of the
game and will be for a day or two.
But it is not thought that the in
jury to his finger is In any way se
rious. Bill Smith expects that he
will perform by Friday or Satur
day.
The members of both teams were
entertained last night with a box
party at Fairyland Park, where
they were the guests of Manager
Beach. The street car oompany ran
a special oar for them that left
the custom house at 8:15. The
members report a "large time."
Charley Babb will probably quit
the looal team in a day or two to
avoid being drafted by some major
league club. In consequence a new
short stop will have to be eecured.
Two high-price men are being so
aimed at and negotiations are
under way to secure one or the
other.
Charley Babb can have his job over again, too, if ho is not
drafted. The Memphis owners will pay him any reasonable sum . _ _ ...
to lead the team. And their only fear is that ho will be called , Ji,“*ffi 1 „^ or nhi!!u„ b nih‘ p i t .?.* n hII a ."
higher. If he is, the Memphis directors say that thoy will keep him
as a bench manager, but probably this is raoro or loss bluff.
Charley’s chief value is as a playing manager.
Take it any way yon look at it the Southern has as good a
corps of managers as any minor league in the country and
changes would cause more regrets than joy. The .league is satis
fied and that’s the main thing. , <

wood team Saturday afternoon, by the

Harry Harmon, the crack Sun

Edgcwood, while Tommy Klein did the
twirling for West End. Both pitchers
showed up In superb form.
West End won the game In the ninth
Inning by a great batting rally.
The Edgewood boys put up a fast,

JLRBUCKLE BROS., Mow York City.
The Crackers’ last chance to get an
even break out of the Memphis eerles
comes Wednesday. In order to make It
three out of six the Crackers have got
to pull down one game of the double-
header.
Bill Smith Is pinning his faith on
the league. Charley Babb puts his trust
In Joey Bills, late of Kookuk, Iowa.
Neither man has been pitching right
at the tip-top of hla game during the
lost couple of weeks, but either le likely
to whirl In and twirl a slashing battle.
A single game la elated for Thursday,
and Thursday night the Crackers em
bark for the heated trip to the Louis
lana metropolis.
On Friday the Crackers open for a
three-game series with New Orleans.
The Pelican team Is going fairly strong
now, but It Is the hopo of Atlanta fans
that the Crackers can get two out of
three.
From an Atlanta viewpoint, the most
discouraging feature of the pennant
situation Is the miserable showing of
the other clubs In the cast.
The western clubs play nothing but
easterners from now to the end of the
season, and It hurts Atlanta’s chances
that these teams are such "puddings/
It puts Atlanta In the uncomfortable
position of having to win more games
against good teams than Memphis has
to against poor teams.
The report that a post-season series
may be played between Atlanta and
Memphis has not been hailed with any
very great Joy In this tyurg.
Post-season series as a rule are
flsxles of the worst type. The major
leaguers have got the thing down fine,
but conditions are not the same here.
In the first place, the season will be
over before the gomes are played, and
the pennant will belong to Memphis
or Atlanta. Therefore, there Is not any
point that can he decided by such
series. The question of which team Is
the better will be settled.
In the second place the question of
authority always comes up In post-sea
son games. They are generally run by
the players, and arc go-as-you-please
affairs of the worst sort. It Is hard
enough to run ball players with I
competent manager, and with the poa
sthlltty of fines, suspensions and all
tho Intricate machinery of the National
Association to back up the managers,
the umpire, the league president and
the association.
The writer witnessed one benefit
game In Memphis and It was a get-the-
mnney affair of the saddest kind. The
public was bilked and that was all
:here was to It.
Of course, If these games arc de
cided on and the players ere to get the
money, we’ll "whoop ’er up" along with
the rest, but as a general proposition,
we are agin ’em."
A Shreveport rumor has It that Gor
don Hickman Is going to be sold to
Atlanta. However, It Is denied pretty
strongly.
Says the Memphis Newe-Scimltar:
BUI Smith Is so sure of winning the
rag that he Is already figuring on the
else of the pole on which to string It.
Remembering the disaster that befell
the Chicago White Box's pennant rais
ing picnic, when the staff cracked and
the huge banner tumbled to terra firma,
he Is making Inquiries Into the cost of
a steel stem to hold the flag.
"Yep. Hung up and floating In the
breexe," he chinned Monday morning.
’Its only a strip of bunting, but those
fans down In our town want It, and
we've decided to get It for 'em. What
they'll do with It I don't know, but we
have to humor ’em, you know."
Billy Is proud qf his bunch. He was
fairly glowing with complacency after
that Sabbath victory.
Ever)' man on the team Is working
overtime to win,” be said, and playing
with that confidence which fetches re
sults. We've got three weeks more of
It, and unless Dame Luck knocks us
down and stamps on us, we’ll be on
top at ttu finish.'*
ANOTHER SHUT-OUT IS
HANDED TO CRACKERS
BILL BRUNER. LARRY BRYANT.
These two Cotton States pitchers will get a trial next year in the
Southern League. Bill Bruner, who has been with Bernle McCay at Mo
bile this year, has been bought by Charley Frank and joins the Pelicans
next spring. s
Larry Bryant, of Gulfport, Is a southpaw and has been winning gamca
right and left for Gilke’ team this year. He plays with Shreveport in the
spring of 1908.
WHAT HAPPENED TUESDAY
ON SEVERAL BALL FIELDS
The Barone and the Pelicans spilt a
double-header Tuesday afternoon In
New Orleans.. The Pelicans won the
first game by the score of 4 to 0, while
the Barons annexed the second by a
count of 4 to 2. The Barons secured
eeven hits In the first contest off Frits
while the Pellcana made only three.
And yet Birmingham lost. A quartet
of rank errors by the Birmingham In
field tells the tale, however. Ginger
Clark pitched the first game for the
Barons and ho showed up In great
style. The Pelicans could not touch
little "Eva" Wilhelm In the second
game and the Barons hod easy sail
Ing. Guese was hit hard by Birming
ham.
In a double-header In Shreveport
Tuesday afternoon the Plratee and the
Climbers of Montgomery broko even.
The Pirates won the flret contest,
long-drawn-out affair, by the scare of
5 to 4. "Kitty” Beekcr. of the Plratee,
and Walsh, of the Climbers, each
pitched good ball, but the muff of
lly by Walsh paved tho way for War-
render's hit which won the game. Sam
Weenie, the former Auburn College
star, won the second game for the
Climbers by the score of 2 to 1. The
Pirates played rank ball In the field and
the Climbers had easy sailing through
out. Benson, at short for Shreveport,
made three errors and every one let In
rune. Fisher pitched good ball In the
second game.
Walters, Mike Finn's new slabman,
was Invincible Tuesday and Nashville
could do nothing with his benders. The
Travelers therefore won the game by
the scord of 4 to 0. Bill Sorrell was
hit hard by Little Rock. "Kid" Welle,
of the Doblicrs, wae put out of the
game for disputing a decision. Hardy
took his place behind the pan.
"Bugs” Raymond, the "Human Mi
crobe” of the Sally League, lost two
games Tuesday afternoon to Savannah.
The Colts defeated Raymond In the
first game by the suere of 4 to 0 and
the second game by the ecore of 2 to
Raymond allowed eeven hits In the
first contest and three In the last. Hoff,
of Savannah, allowed Charleston only
two hits In the first affair. Kelber
pitched a nice article of bull In the
second game.
Macon defeated Columbia Tuesday
by the score of 2 to 2. Perry Llpe’s
bunch of ball tossers played rings
around the Columbians and they bad
no chance to win.
Savldge, of Jacksonville, and iDexter,
of Augusta, engaged In a pitching duel
Tuesday afternoon and although nel-
thelr team was able to score In eleven
innings of play, Dexter had a little the
best of the argument. Dexter Is not
a pitcher but a first baseman. Why
it wae that he pitched Tuesday nobody
In this burg knows. Savldge gave up
five hits and Dexter allowed only four
swatlets.
Larry Lajole'a Cleveland club de
feated poor old Joe Cantllllon'a Wash
ington team In the first game of a
double-header by the score of 3 to 0
and then tied them up In the second af
fair, 1 to 1. Rhodes pitched good ball
Memphis,. Tdnn, Aug. 21.—A sec
ond straight shut-out was pinned
on the pennant-aspiring Cracker*
here Tuesday, when the Bluffers, with
the kind assistance of Charley Shields,
defeated them. 4 to 0.
The game was In man)' ways a coun
terpart of the one of the preceding day.
The Memphis pitcher was a bit too
good, and the Memphis batters a shade
too strong.
The batting slump which carried the
Babblers down Into second place and
seemed to-threaten their chances for
the pennant Is a thing of the past. The
local players did not hit Castleton very
hard on Sunday, which was not sur
prising. for Roy Is the best pitcher In
the league. But they have lit Into the
other Atlanta offerings In good style
and they are hoping to punish any
thing that comes alon*- from now until
the end of the season.
Spade did the twirling for Atlanta
and was not qulto In winning form. He
allowed only two bases on balls, struck
out five men, and gave up nine hits.
But he uncorked the hlte when they
meant runs.
As usual. Bob got himself in a hole
in the first Inning. He walked Carter,
the first man up; and Manning, who
followed, beat out a bunt to first.
There was a raw decision here and the
Crackers put up an awful howl. Car
ter went to third on the play and the
subsequent excitement and Manning
stole second. Neighbors' struck out,
but Babb singled through Fox and Car
ter and Manning scored.
Out of this hole Bob Spade never
pulled himself, partly because he got
In deeper later on and partly because
he did not get much batting assist
ance from his Cracker team mates.
Shields Just refused to give up hits
when hits meant trouble. He doled
out his five hits sparingly and care
fully and the Crackere never really got
near to scoring.
The Memphis boy was In grand good
form, and he bad one of the choicest
collections of curves and shoots seen
here this year. His support was of
course so good that it was a shame to
take the money. Not a bobble of any
possible description was made and the
batting of the Memphll would have
made up for a lot of bungling fielding
Sid Smith was at short again, in
place of Castro, and fielded brilliantly
Also he made a couple of hits, which
was more than any of his team mates
did. Becker, Winters and Sweeney
pulled off the other three.

league.
The latest seeker after Neure's ser
vices Is Manager Vaughn, of the Bir

who was In the city yesterday trying to
make a deal for the pitcher. After
seeing Neuer pitch an eleven-inning
shut-out gams > against Charleston,
Vaughn made a very flattering offer to
the local management. This was not
accepted, and Vaughn was put on the
waiting list. Negotiations are being
conducted In respect to Neuer with the
New York American League team, the
Memphis club of the Southern, and sev

Bobby Walthdur Rides Well
and Breaks World’s Record
Bobby Walthour. the Atlanta cyclist,
Is evidently back In form again. From
the Salt Lake Tribune of August 14 is
taken this account of his record-break
ing performance at Balt Lake, August
13;
The greatest bicycle race ever wit
nessed on the Salt Palace saucer track
was seen Tuesday night by 5,000 people,
between Bobby Walthour, world’s
champion, and W. E. Samuelson. The
race was for ten miles and Walthour
gave his opponent a handicap of two
laps In the race. The riders started the
race at a dlsxy dip, riding the first
mile In 1:31. In the first mile Samuel
son held his own, but the next mile,
which Walthour rede In 1:18 2-5, he
i rained a quarter of a lap and In the
lourth mile passed Samuelson for the
first time, riding that mile In 1:18,
which was also the fastest mile In the
race. At this stage Samuelson com
menced to ease up, ss did Walthour,
but the latter made big gains and In
the fifth ndle had gained his two laps
handicap. Ine the eighth mile Walthour
gained another lap and was two-thirds
of an extra lap In the lead at the fin
ish. having gained three laps and two-
thirds. The time for the entire dis
tance was 12:22, which broke the track
record of 14:42 4-5 by 1:18 4-5, and es
tablished .a new world's record for
eight-lap tracks.
ever seen on the track. The event went
off without a hitch and the men rode
for all that was In them, with Wal
thour being able to hang on to faster
pace, which gave him the race. It ap
peared as If he was tied to Gussle Law-
son, his pace-maker, and whenever he
passed Samuelson he A-cnt by so fast
that the latter seemed to be loafing.
The ten miles were ridden In an aver
age gait of 1:213-10, each mile being
much faster than the track one-mile
record previous to Walthour's arrival,
which then stood at 1:24 3-5. No one
present will dispute Walthour's claim
to the champion pace-follower of the
world. It seems that the motors can
not go fast enough for him. After the
race he stated that he could beat Sam
uelson four laps In ten miles. He would
have to ride still faster than he did
last night to do this, bqt as there Is no
limit to his speed it Is only a question
of how fast the motor can take him.
