CRACKERS TURN RUSSELL BACK CHATTANOOGA, TENN., June 21. Manager Hemphill announced today that he had turned •‘Lefty" Russell back to Philadelphia, after his rank performance of yesterday, and had re called Erskine Mayer from Portsmouth. Russell’s work yesterday was the height of indifference and thoroughly disgusted the Cracker leader. Hemp hills announcement created great sur prise here. In this afternoon’s fray Dessau will oppose Farmer Allen. The ex-Eastern leaguer- has been suffering from sore arm, but is thought to be sufficiently recovered to pitch the Crackers to vic tory. Joe Agler will join the Crackers in Memphis, according to Manager Hemp hill. HARVARD CREW FAVORED TO DEFEAT YALE TODAY NEW LONDON. CONN., June 21. M eather conditions that could not have been better prevailed today when the varsity crews of Harvard and Yale made ready to line up in their great annual duel on the Thames river this afternoon. From horizon to horizon the sky was a blazing dome of steel blue and the wind that has kept the surface of the river ruffled and uncertain for the closing practice of the past few days died down to a gentle breeze over night, witlt heartening indications that the sun would set without a marked change in the ideal racing conditions. The crowds that piled into the old New England town, by water, wagon road and rail, were enormous. There is little betting, and the rea son is not far to seek. All but the most blindly loyal and enthusiastic of Ethe Yale contingent conceded that the blue had little more than an outside Chance to win, and consequently, while the Harvard men and a few shrewd faced gentlemen who never attended any school but that of experience were offering odds of from 10 to 7 to 2 to 1 on Harvard, there was little Yale money in sight. Several bets of SIOO to S6O were re corded in one or two of the big cases, but the takers of the Yale end were old alumni, who freely admitted that they were backing their hopes and not their judgment. The favorite bet seemed to be even money that Harvard would win all three races, and late last night and early this morning tiiere was quite a little Yale money in sight for this form t of wager. CARMAN QUITS KENTUCKY TO RACE STRING ABROAD LATONIA, KY„ June 21.—The Ken tucky turf is about to lose another of its millionaire supporters. R. F, Carman, who has raced a pretentious stable on this circuit for a number of years, is the most recent to announce his decision to go abroad. Mr. Carman intends to leave for England immediately following the close of the Latonia meeting and will later on go to France for the purpose of establishing quarters for all his horses. Carman’s decision to quit the Kentcky turf was brought about by the action of Judge Price in suspending Jockey Peak from all but contract engagements for the balance of the meeting Carman feels that the official’s ruling developed more from personal animosity than because his rider’s offense was suf ficient to warrant such severe punishment and he will hereafter not participate in racing hereabouts. It is not the first time MT. Carman, who is a sportsman of the highest caliber, has had trouble with racing officials. He is one of the few men connected with the game who have courage enough to ex press his views and should he make good his threats to expose the inner secrets of lacing in Kentucky it is more than likely that he will furnish reformers with the opportunity to attack the turf In this state and bring about adverse legislation. CALDWELL, IRKIN. REED WINNERS AT GREENVILLE GREENVILLE. S. C., June 20.—1 n the tennis championship play on the courts of the Country elub here yesterday after noon Caldwell and Irwin, of Spartanburg, won in doubles over Hobart and Herbert, of New York and Asheville, and Dick Reed won in singles. In yesterday morning's play G, w. War ing and Caldwell won in singles. Reed defeated E. S. Waring, the victory putting him against G. W. Waring. One of the best played matches of the tournament was that between Reed, of Columbia, and Hobart, of Palm Beach. Hobart grace fully defaulted to Reed in order to place him in the championship finals. WHICH SHOWS WHAT A SUCKER GAME IT IS PHILADELPHIA. June 21.—The tre mendous profit in baseball pools and the small chances that the bettor will get any return on his speculation were shown in evidence produced by the Philadelphia police against three men who are alleged to have collected be tween $1,700 and SI,BOO a day on pools and paid out an average of SBO a day to the winners. The three men are charged with being gamblers. JOHNSON INDICTED FOR SMUGGLING NECKLACE CHICAGO, June 21.—Jack Johnson, the negro champion heavyweight pugi list and his wife were indicted today by 'the Federal grand jury on a charge of having smuggled in a diamond neck lace valued at $6,500. What effect this indictment will have on the Las Vegas tight is at present problematical. ANOTHER LITTLE CHILD MIRACULOUSLY SAVED "Quaker” Again Proves Its Sterling Worth in Startling Manner by Saving Life of Ten-Year-Old Child. Il teemed the longer the Health Teacher stayed In Atlanta the more re markable became the results of the use of the Quaker Remedies. Another very interesting case came to light when BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip j Billy Murphy claims that Tris Speaker is a better player than either Cobb or Jackson. * • • The big race in the National league is between the Braves and the Superbas for last place. Our money is on Boston. « « • Jennings asked waivers on Paddy Bau mann early in April, and released him the middle of June. He goes to the Detroit farm. Talk about a ‘‘kind Providence’’—. Oh, yes. the latest from Wheeling, W. Va., is that Cy Young his quit, Nix on this Patti stuff, Cy. • • * Toledo has a new infielder who is enti tled to sign this after his cog: “A. 8., Williams College,” also he has put one of law w ork at Harvard behind him. This educated guy is Abbott Mills, former Wil liams college third baseman. He has had a bit of a try-out with the Naps, but w-as too inexperienced. » • • Ralph Caprofl ought, as far as speed goes, to be with the Olympic team. His work at Minnesota would have given him a job. But he turned professional and is playing nice ball with Milwaukee. He can do everything but bat —though that’s an alarming deficiency. • • • Harry Leibold, of the Milwaukee team, is said to be the smallest player in base ball. Hugh Duffy only wants SIO,OOO for him. He doesn’t say whether as a ball player or as a curiosity. • • • Bob Higgins, former Lookout catcher, is getting a lot of traveling and mighty little work these days. Brooklyn sent him to Toronto, the Canadians wouldn't pay the price and turned him back to Brooklyn. He was then sent to Newark, the Brooklyn farm However, McGln nity's team is up to the limit and can’t sign him for the present. * * • Fred Herbert, former University of Il linois pitcher, Is doing fine work with the Ottawa team and has caught the eye of the big league scouts. The catching is easy, but the landing hard. • • * Brooklyn fans say that all the Dodgers need in addition to a ball club is a man ager. Rather nasty of them, we say. o • • President Sam Lichenstein, of Mon treal. wired the Toronto club: “Will sell Catcher Roth for $2,500.” Toronto wired back: “Have notified league president that we waive on Roth and Lichenstein.’ • * • The Providence club has offered SSOO to the scout who can tout them onto a pitch er who can ‘ get by” in the International league. That's fair enough. Real money, too. • * • The Cards have bought Catcher Snyder from the Flynt team. The South Michi gan league burg got him from San An tonio. The Southern league race is getting heated. When a matter of .200- separates the first team from the last something is likely to happen any minute. • * • Atlanta fans smile knowingly at the stories appearing in Southern league pa pers that Manager Hemphill is having trouble managing his own ball club. If there is one thing more than any other that Hemphill is competent to do it is to do his own managing. He has his trou bles, all right, but not that sort. The fans of Washington are requested to plow up a nice of land some where. The Senators will soon need it for alighting purposes. « • « When Toronto let Higgins go it signed Harry Bemis in his place. • • * Sid Smith, former Cracker, is hitting ’em .302 in the American association. • ♦ ♦ Nashville is finding out what Birming ham already knows—that “Rowdy” El liott may be the best looking catcher in the league without being worth a hang to the team. Gee, think how close At lanta came to getting him! • • * President Taft was awfully wild the day Washington met thr Athletics at home. His throw from the president’s* box was wide and Umpire O’Loughlin muffed it, after a jump. Both men ought to be fined for being out of condition. • * « Manager Bill Laval, of Sparfanburg, is no great winner of pennants, but he holds all bush records for selling players. Last year he unloaded $4,200 worth of stuff and already this year he has disposed of $1,300 worth of players. • • • Some degenerate wit has alleged that Navin park of Detroit isn't a ball park, it’s a bawl park. • • * George Suggs, ex-Southern leaguer, leads the Red pitchers this year. George is a willing worker, goes in any time he is called on and wins a good lot of games that he doesn't pitch all the way through. • • • Buffalo has secured Charles Hightower, a pitcher from the Cornell university team. • • • The O. & P. league has been cut to six clubs. The teams that lost out were New Castle and Connellsville. ATTELL-WOLGASTFIGHT WILL BE AT 133 POUNDS SAN FRANCISCO, June 21—Abe At tell and Ad Wolgast have been matched for a bout to take place here some time in August. The weight will be 133 pounds ringside. This will be A Hell's first real fight as a lightweight unless he takes a notion to enter the ring before the date set for the bout. Billy Nolan, who is managing the former featherwight boss, is much pleased over the match and says he would like to place a SIO,OOO bet on Attell. HARVARD FRESHMEN WIN IN RACE AT NEW LONDON NEW CONDON, June 21.—The fresh men eight of Harvard handily defeated their Yale opponents today on the Thames in their annual test. The official time was 10 minutes 52 seconds. The Crimson ' crew led all the way. As soon as the freshmen eights w’ere out : of the way the fours started with Har- I vard in the lead. — THOMPSON FANS 17. When the Vogt’s Drug Store team defeated the Pulliam Street Stars by the score of 7 to 3, Thompson, of the V. D. S., struck out 17 men. Spurlock made the only hit for the Pulliam Street boys. Mrs. M. Elliott, of 34 Lindsey street, walked into the Coursey & Munn Drug Store and, handing an old Mason jar, said: "There is the result of my daugh ter, Lillie Bell, taking the Quaker Ex tract. This tapeworm passed from her after taking the remedy only two weeks." The details of this remarkable case are given herewith: “This little ten-year-old girl, Lillie Bell Elliott, had been suffering from’ stomach troubles for about four years. During that time her parents had gotten every remedy supposed to be a cure for such com plaints. but it did not seem that any thing would create any great results — in fact, many of the medicines given to her only aggravated the case. Special ists were allowed to treat her, but still she suffered. When she rose in the mornings she had a severe hawking' xilE ATLAMA GEOKGIAJN ANDREWS. KKIDAi, JL-SE 21, 1912. Harry Bailey Now Hitting 303; Four In Charmed Circle •Harry Bailey, the Crackers’ star left fltlder, is now hitting the pill at a .300 clip. The outfielder has steadily In creased his batting averages- until he now has pilled up .305 for 58 games. He has been at bat 214 tmes and has hit safely 65 times. He secured a sin gle, a three-bagger and one for the cir cuit yesterday. Those hits put him in the select class. Here are the Cracker averages, in cluding yesterday’s game: to fourth place. Players.

One gives the palm to Luby, who, while pitching for the Chicago Nationals in 1890, officiated in tw’enty successive winning games. Another awards is to Charley Radbourn of the Providence champions of 1884, who scored eighteen straight victories. The record, though, is held by Jim Mc- Cormick, who. in 1886, while pitching for the Chicago Nationals under Anson, hung up the record of 24 straight games, with out even a tie game being mixed up in his victories. McCormick was a man of unusual phy sique and intelligence, and was one of the few ball players who retired from the game in the very zenith of their prowess. He was a ’•esident of Paterson, N. J., whence came also the never-to-be forgotten Mike Kelly, and, after quitting baseball ran a stable of horses. It must be remembered that in the days of McCormick and Radbourn the pitcher’s box was only 45 feet distant from the plate, and the pitchers were not so cir cumscribed in their movements by the rules as they are now—they could take a hop, skip and a jump before pitching the ball if the}' wanted to. But to offset that there was no such a thing as taking a pitcher out if he once started, he had to finish, unless the cap tain of the opposing team was convinced he was physically disabled.

She had a very change, able appetite—sometimes ravenously— and again she was nauseated at the sight of food. Headaches and occa sional dizziness were experienced also, and the poor child was getting weak and thin each day. She was taken to the hospital, where she lay for nearly two weeks, while an attempt was made to relieve her system from the horrible parasite that had by this time mani fested itself. But a little length, about eight feet, was all that could be ex pelled. and the child had to return home in as bad a condition as before going. Mrs. Elliott called at Coursey & Munn's Drug Store, where she explained the ease of her little girl, and was as sured that the horrible monster could positively be expelled by Quaker Ex tract. She procured a bottle, and began BOXING Late News and Views Harry Forbes seems to have been in earnest when he announced his next fight would be as featherweight. The former crack bantam has challenged Johnny Kil bane for a championship bout. • « • One noticeable thing about Forbes is that he has been fighting for so many years without receiving any marks that stayed with him longer than a week. Al though he is over 30 years old his ears are perfectly shaped and his features are as plain as the first day he entered the ring • • • When Ad Wolgast was first matched with Joe Rivers, fans thought Ad would have all the advantage. However, they were under the wrong impression, as the Mexican will have it over the champ in weight, youth and maybe condition. • • • The Mexican pride will not be the same boxer who fought Johnny Kllbane. In place of a feather he will be a full fledged lightweight. Rivers now weighs 136 pounds, but says he will easily make the required limit. « • • Eddie Murphy is squealing because he can not land a match with Packey Mc- Farland. Murphy chirps that the Chicago Whirlw’ind is going to study law to keep from fighting him. Immediately after refereeing the Brown-Dillon match in Winnipeg, Can., the other night, Battling Nelson started training for his bout there July 1. No opponent has been selected for the Dur able Dane yet, but there are many comers who are keen for the match, as they would secure much publicity through fighting the Battler. • • • Frankie Burns, who quit the bantam class after plitnbing nearly to the top of the ladder, fought his first bout as a featherweight the other night when he defeated Banty Lewis. » • • Tom O’Rourke is still wrangling about his contract with Al Palzer. O'Rourke recently filed a summons against Palzer in the supreme court, and as this will have to be answered in 20 days, it is likely the affair will be aired in court before long. • • • Johnny Dundee showed fine form the other night when he defeated Young Wagner in a slashing ten-round battle. If Dundee shows the same class against Johnny Kllbane he w’ill give the cham pion a good run for his money. ♦ * * Frankie Russell has been matched with Willie Gibbs for a ten-round bout in New Orleans June 29. • • • From the crowds that watch Mandot and Ritchie work out in New Orleans daily all records will be broken when they come together. * ♦ • Johnny Summers defeated Arthur Everndon in Ix>ndon the other night for the welterweight championship of Eng land and the Lord Lonsdale belt. • « ♦ Kid Julian was all but knocked out in Syracuse, N. Y.. the other night by Patsy Kline. Kline is scheduled to go fifteen rounds with Young Britt in Baltimore to night. • * * Billy Papke and Marcel Moreau will fight in Paris June 24.

FANS FIRE BOTTLES AT KELLUM: AIM PROVES BAD BIRMINGHAM, ALA., June 21.—1 n a thrilling game, full of exciting plays and misplays, New Orleans defeated Birmingham, 9 to 8. Both clubs used two pitchers and one player of each team was ejected from the fray. The umpires were constantly in trou ble, as both sides wrangled often. Umpire Kellum was made the target of several pop bottles and the police were called upon the scene. Three home runs were scored. John ston hit the ball over right field fence with three on bases in the third, while Mcßride and AUneida also made the circuit on hits. The Answer Books Are Going Fast The clerks in the Contest Department of The Georgian put in a busy day yester day. Personal and mail application for copies of the Answer Book came in a per fect stream, starting in the morning and continuing throughout the day. In spite of the rush, we were able to wait on all who came and to fill all mail orders. And we will make every effort to continue this sort of service, and to put all contestants in possession of all of the contest requisites with the least possible delay from now until the close of the con test. We have received a number of inqui ries regarding the purpose of providing three answer spaces for each picture in the Answer Book. Some contestants are wondering whether it will be necessary to use all of these answer spaces. The three spaces were provided for the con venience of those who desire to submit more than one set of answers, but it is not at all necessary to use more than one space. The number of spaces used is a matter of choice with the contestant, pro vided the same number of spaces is used for each picture. For example: If you wish to submit two answers for picture No. 15, but you are satisfied that your solutions for all of the other pictures are correct, fill in space No. 2 under picture No. 15 with the second solution, after having filled in space No. 1 under each of the other pictures with the solutions you are satis fied with. Then fill in space No. 2 under all of the pictures except No. 15 with du plicates of the answers you have already written in space No. 1. Thic condition can not be more clearly stated, we think, than to repeat that we have printed so many times these announcements: You can not submit more than one solution for ANY ONE PICTURE without sub mitting the same number of solutions for ALL OF THE OTHER PICTURES. And each set of solutions will be judged sepa rately when the awards are made. This is true whether you use the Answer Book published by us or one of your own mak ing. Inquiries continue to come to us about the need for using the Answer Book pub lished by us and the comparative standing in the contest of those who make their own Answer Books. This question lias been answered a number of times, but we repeat here for the benefit of those who have not been advised, that the use of our Answer Book is not required. It is intended to provide a neat, orderly means for sending solutions in. But con testants who make their own Answer Books in a neat, orderly manner will have the same standing in the contest that they would obtain by using ours. Our book was published to meet the demands of those who were not confident of their own abil ity to conform to the requirements of neat ness and the coupon method of sending in the answers. A new and unexpected use for it developed today, however, when numbers of contestants bought extra copies for use as souvenirs of the contest. The striking beauty of the cover design, ami the reproduction of the first fifty pictures of the contest commended it to the good taste of those who desire to keep a memento of this fascinating contest.

WASHINGTON LOSES TWO: DROPS TO THIRD PLACE PHILADELPHIA, June 21.—8 y way of making the full stop to which they brought the Washington club’s winning streak quite emphatic, the Athletics won another double-header from Wash ington here yesterday.
