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. GRAND CIRCUIT NAGS GET BUSY ON JULY 8 G&AND RAPIDS, MICH., June 19. Pop Geers, the Benyons. Will Dur fee. the Maceys. Grady and the other grand circuit campaigners, whose stables now are at Comstock park, awaiting the opening of activities July 8, thus far have contented them selves mostly with getting “the feel of the track.” The stake entries have been driven at not to exceed a 2:25 clip, but even this affords the rail birds plenty g>f excitement and is good for controversial conversation. Dorsh Medium, 2:29 1-4, Geers' can didate for the Grand Rapids railway stake, 2:20 trotting, ha's made the deep est impression on track habitues and her chances are highly fancied.

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. T’HE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY.

"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.

Johnson's heart, lungs and abdominal organs shows me that he is in a perfectly healthy condi tion —a thoroughly sound man. “But his chest expansion, as will be by a careful analysis of the measurement I have submitted will be found to be somewhat below a certain standard and. would lead one to fear a lack of endurance." Further than this Dr. Shaw pos itively declined to go. HP was asked as to whether or not he fig ured that the over-a-mile high Ve gas would seriously affect Jack in the coming fight, but into this he declined to go at this time. Won't Pose as Prophet. The doctor Intimated that he had been requested to examine the men as he found them and not to ven ture any predictions as to the out come of the fight. He wished to submit the meas urements to the nubile and let everybody interested draw his own conclusions. 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. MEN WHO PLAYED FOR DAVIS CUP REMEMBERED NEWPORT. R. I , June 19.—Copies in miniature of the world's famous Da vis International lawn tennis cup are to be presented this month to each of the sixteen American players who ap peared in the contests since the cup was put up for competition. In going over the lists the committee was surpiised to find how many times' certain men had represented this coun try. Malcom Whitman, who is rated as easily the greatest performer on the courts that this country has ever known, along with Holcombe Ward and Dwight F. Davis, the donor of the cup. formed the trio that defended the tro phy in 1900, when it was first offered. The three men were students at Har vard. Whitman and Davis each ap peared on the team of 1902, their last international contests. Ward played in 1902, 1905 and 190fi. The veteran Larned has represented this country six times and Beals Wright five times. Raymond Little held a place on the teams of 1900 1909 and 1911. Other players who will receive cups are Robert D. Wrenn. George L. Wrenn. Jr., William .1. Clothier, Karl Rehr. Frederick Alexander, IL H. Hackett, Maurice McLoughlin. Melville H Long and T C. Bundy. 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.
