SITTON DUE TO
PITCH TOOM IN
CHATTANOOGA
Chattanooga, tenn., June 19.
The Crackers, speeded up to a
point about ten notches above
anything they have attempted yet, are
here today for what will be one of the
toughest series they have ever known.
Both teams are fighting like cornered
rats these days. They are. both making
a wonderful effort to get out of the
depths. They are determined, desper
ate. And they hate each other so bad
it keeps ’em awake nights. Either
manager would give a month off his
life to make a clean-up on this series.
It is more than likely that Manager
Hemphill will decide to work Vedder
Sitton right back again. He had him in
the second game yesterday, but rain
interfered before the contest had gone
far and he seems fit as a fiddle today.
Billy Smith is lust about as com
municative as usual about his prob
able battery performers, but it is
More's turn to pitch, and no doubt he
will be sent in.
“Erroritis,” or Rush of Thumbs to
the Hands, was the complaint that
dumped the Crackers in the ditch In
Nashville yesterday afternoon. You
might not get it from the box score,
but that’s what happened. For Tommy
Atkins would never have given up all
those hits if things hadn't been break
ing bad right behind him.
For Tommy is one of those tempera
mental youths. He will take his chance
with the opposition as long as the sup
port is going good. But when once a
team sets out to dub away a game be
hind Tommy it usually succeeds. For
Tommy doesn’t flourish under adver
sity—though goodness knows he has
had enough of it to begin getting hard
ened.
With the score 10 to 3 against the
Crackers they made a peach of a rally
in the ninth and managed to pile up
three more runs before they were
closed out.
FRANK WILL USE ATZ
AS PLAYING MANAGER
NEW . ORLEANS, June 19.—Jakey
Atz, playing-manager of the Pelicans.
This, in all probability, will be the title
that Charley Frank proposes to bestow
upon the former infielder when he joins
the Birdville squad. The acquisition
of Atz will not be the only change in
the Pelican ranks. "Hank” Butcher,
for whose services the Dutchman has
been angling all season, is also expeot
ed to report any day and ask for his
uniform. Johnny Clancy, at present
burning up the Cotton States league, is
also intended for the Pels, and possi
bly one or two others whose identity
Manager Frank refuses to reveal.
The addition of three new players
means that Dave Bunting, present third
sacker, will figure in a transfer. Man
ager Frank doesn’t admit he is ready
to make another shift. Indications,
however, are that Atz will be leader
■of the team, as was Gene Demont.
when Frank found it necessary to keep
■within the salary limit two years ago.

Johnson May Collapse in High
Altitude, Surgeon Shaw Hints
By Ed. AV. Smith.
(The Georgian's fight expert, who has
been se'ected to referee the Johnson-
Flynn battle.)
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M.. June
, 19. —Jim Flynn leads in the
first round. Referee Dr.
■ Shaw, official medical examiner,
says Flynn has a slight shade in
the opening examination.
Shaw gives out t-he. disquieting
information tn the casp of Jack
Johnson that there Is ground for
fear he may show a lack of en
durance in the big battle of July .4
because of the chest expansion he
showed during the examination.
Jack was able to drag only
enough air into his lungs under
the eye of the doctor to show an
expansion of two and one-quarter
inches.
Flynn showed two and one-half
with ease.
From Johnson’s deflated chest
to the full expansion there was
but three and one-half inches.
From Flynn’s deflated chest to
his .full expansion there was a dif
ference of four and one-half inches.
Otherwise they are about as
grand a pair of specimens of physi
cal perfection as it would be pos
sible to find anywhere.
Shaw Not an Alarmist.
Dr. Shaw gave out a complete
statement, but in the case of John
son he tempered it a bit about the
chest expansion. The doctor stated
that it was farthest from his
thoughts to pose in the light of an
alarmist, therefore he did not care
to go too strong in the case of
Johnson’s lungs. He contented
himself merely with. the statement
that went like this: "Johnson's
chest expansion Is not up to stand
ard and would lead one to fear that
there-rhight be a lack of endurance
there in this altitude.”
Pretty strong that, even in those
few cold-blooded, dispassionate
words.
Dr. Shaw is the leading physi
cian and surgeon of this section of
the country. He acted at the re
quest of the local club in examin
ing the men. He selected a time
when each of them had finished
the day’s labor.
Here's the doctor’s statement in
brief. form and shorn of. all its
technical verbage:
“I regard Jim Flynn as one of
the most magnificent specimens of
physical development that I ever
examined, and I fiave had some
wonderfully strong men and natur
al athletes come before me for
obse.rva.tion. <
"Flynn's eyesight is entirely nor
mal-one very excellent point.
"His heart and lungs are normal
VIRGINIA SCHEDULE IS
DUE ANOTHER SHAKt-UP
PETERSBURG, VA„ June 19.—Pres
ident Boatwright of the Virginia league
will rearrange the schedule of the six
club circuit so as to give the local club
a more equitable schedule than that
adopted at Norfolk last Thursday.
The local directors have received no'
answer to their telegram asking for a
meeting here Wednesday to rearrange
the schedule, hut. over the long-dis
tance telephone, President Boatwright
said that he thought the matter could
be arranged to the satisfaction of the
Petersburg club without another meet
ing.
The Norfolk revised schedule gives
Peersburg but three more Saturdays
at home and sends the club on four
trips to Roanoke, where loss is inevi
table. Every slub that has come to
this city, with on exception when the
weather was bad, has taken away more
than the $125 guarantee. On the other
hand, the local club has received more
than the guarantee at no city except
Richmond.

Flynn Is Flawless Athlete.
"In fact, I did not find a. single
flaw in the man in any particular
at all.
"One point stands out to my eye
as remarkable. He seems to be .
possessed of wonderful endurance,
the altitude of Las Vegas not af
fecting him In the least.

DOBBS’ TEAM PEACEFUL!
YES. LIKE A HURRICANE
MONTGOMERY, ALA.. June 19.
The Montgomery hall club is "all shot
to pieces.” For some time it has been
know that McElveen, who was traded
to Atlanta, was a disturbing element
and Manager Dobbs made a ten-strike
here when he palmed off Humpty on
the Crackers.
After McElveen was exchanged it
was thought harmony would be restor
ed, but again reports are circulated that
there was one man on the team acting
as a "stool pigeon” and giving informa
tion as to the movements of the players
off the field. This made mattery again
murky in the baseball firmament.
More trouble developed when Bill
Stickney, secretary of the team.' an
nounced that he had enough of the
game here and had decided to retire.
Following this, came the announce
ment that Right Fielder Williams had
Jumped the team, after drawing his
pay.
Dobbs will have to get another out
fielder. Ashe is In no condition to play
the game. His arm is not in any kind
of shape and anyone hitting the ball
out his way could keep on running and
Dobbs knows this. It has been notice
able that there are cliques, on the ball
field. When the men come into the
bench they will separate in groups of
three ands fours and hold communion
with each other.

BESSEMER MAY QUIT;
DECATUR WANTS CLUB
DECATUR. ALA., June 19.—A berth
in the Southeast rn Baseball league
may yet be secured by Decatur for the
present season.
Decatur was in this league last sep
son. Now Manager B. F. Monasco of
the Bessemer team is negotiating with
former President Robert G. Cortner. of
the Derartir club to sell the franchise
back to Decatur again, It is quite like
ly that Decatur .' 111 again purchase this
franchise and that the Decaturs will
again have professional baseball this
season.
FRANK IS AFTER
CRACKER TEAM,
SAYS IIR 0M Q R
MONTGOMERY ALA.. June 19
'Charlie Frank, the New Orleans man
ager, is trying to secure the Atlanta
■franchise, not for the purpose of mov
ing the team, but for the purpose of
running baseball in Atlanta. That is a
rumor started here today.
Frank will not discuss the situation,
•but it is known he would look favor
ably upon a proposition to take charge
of the Atlanta club. He considers it
one of the best paying teams in the
■South. In the event he would get con
trol of the Atlanta team, it is not
known what plans Frank would have
for the New Orleans club.
At baseball headquarters this report
of the sale of the club was denied ab
solutely. Charles Nunnally, one of the
directors, said: “I do not believe there
■is a word of truth in it. le believe that
'the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany intends to hang on to the fran
chise. I think the story is a dream.”
It is known, however, that almost a
year ago Charley Frang strongly con
sidered buying the franchise. At that
time he considered that the price
■asked, which was $50,000. was too stiff
■and passed It up.
Frank owns only a trifling amount
of stock in the New Orleans franchise,
and as these haven't been any divi
dends to speak of recently he would be
willing to pull out. It is doubtless his
■intention, to retire soon as a baseball
•manager and to become a club presi
dent.
AGLER IS A HOLD OUT;
OBJECTSJO LOW SALARY
' It looks as though Joe Agler, the
'first baseman pnechased from the. Cubs
•by Manager Hemphill, will not sign a
•contract for several days. Agler has
•not reported yet and may not get in for
•some time, as a small difference over
•salary is keeping the crack first sacker
■from reporting. The association doesn’t
■know just yet who will be released to
•make room for Joe. However, they
•would like to keep O'Dell if they could
•do it and still stay in the salary limit,
•as he is. the best all-round man the
•Atlanta club has had in some time.
GADSDEN BALL CLUB IS
OUT WITH CRY FOR COIN
' GADSDEN, ALA., June 19.—Great
•preparations are being made for
'"Booster day." which will be celebrated
'by the local baseball association early
•in July, when the first g.ame of baseball
■is played on home grounds for the sec
ond half of the season.
