so. he has reason to know."
Mr. Callaway, who is a lawyer known
throughout the Routh for his legal abil
ity. will appear in pefson to help in
the prosecution and will see the case
through to the finish.
McElveen was located in his room
at the Aragon this morning and gave
his version of the affair. Said McEl
veen ;
"There is absolutely no reason In the
world why Dobbs should have attacked
me We never bad any trouble while
1 was a member of the Montgomery
ream, nor since then, either."
McElveen Says
Attack Was Unprovoked.
"He is Jus' Jealous 'cause you made
good with Atlanta after he let you go

terposed Shortstop Harbison. McEl
veen's roommate at the Aragon
“Dobbs. Elberfeld, Rills and Altchl
son came up to where I was sitting In
front of the Aragon." continued the At.
lanta third baseman, “and Dobbs asked
me why 1 had been saying things about
him. T replied that I hadn't said any
thing about him. 'You have,' and '1
haven’t' passed between us once or
twice, and then Elberfeld, without any
warning. kicked the chair out from un
der me. As he did so Dobbs landed on
my right eye. You see what that lick

knocked Dobbs down and as I leaned
over him Elberfeld struck me. Bills
and Aitchlson were both in the fight
and had as much to do with it as
cither of the other two.
"Yes; I'm going to play this after
noon. and wnat weft do to that Mont
gomery bunch will be a shame.
Dobbs Tells Why
He Hit McElveen
Dobbs' statement, as was to be ex
pected. differed materially from that of
McElveen. 1 had no trouble with
Mack while he was with me." said
Dobbs. "He was after every manager
who came to Montgomery to trade him
In. and finally 1 decided to let Atlanta
have him. Then he made a big (toller
about quitting baseball, but he came to
Atlanta.
"As soon as McElveen left my club."
continued Dobbs, "he began circulating
stories so vile you couldn't publish
them: couldn't even hint at them. Play
ers around the circuit began to throw
the Insult at me and told me McElveen
had started it As a man I couldn't
stand it I might have Jumped on Mc-
Elveen at the ball park yesterday, but
that would have hurt baseball. I might
have waited until he came to Mont
gomery. but that would have been eon -
ardly There was Just one time to
thrash him and 1 improved it. 1 will
« hip or try to whip any man who says
about tm what McElveen did. It Is
false than anybody hit McElveen ex

ATLANTA'S CRITIC
SENT TO SEATTLE
s
Captain George Steunenberg.
U. S. A., Transferred From
r
/ 17th to Negro Regiment.
■ Captain George Stuenenberg, the United
States army officer who took a fling at
Atlanta and things in general in Georgia
- when he came here from San Antonio with
the Seventeenth infantry, has been trans
ferred to the Twenty-fifth infantry, a
negro regiment, stationed at Fort Lawton,
r Seattle,
i Orders effecting Captain Steunenberg's
transfer came just before the third bat
talion of the Seventeenth left for Annis-.
1 ton for the summer maneuvers. The gal-
I lant captain, still retaining his own and
none too complimentary opinion of At
lanta. left immediately for the Ear West.
It will be remembered that Captain
Steunenberg. a brother of the slain gov
ernor of Idaho, hailed from Boise. He
said in a letter published in a Boise news
paper that Atlanta was an over-grown
country town. The people here, he de
■ ilared. always were asleep. The banks
and the banking system he pronounced
, atrocious. The streets were cow paths,
lanes or something or other not named
nor numbered, and the pedestrian didn’t
walk, but shambled.
t’aptaln Steunenberg is famous in the
army as a poet. His verses about the
cats at the Fort Leavenworth are army
traditions. He is sometimes accredited
with being the "funny” man of the army.
