And what a nightmare it was! The Atlanta plavers were as quiet as a bunch of deaf and dumb mutes at a prayer_ meeting. They took their turn at b ß ' as per the order, and they located their positions when Mont gomery was at bat. But it requires tnore than me chanical motion to win baseball games. And it is up to Charley Hemphill to get a big syringe and Inject a bunch of this ’’pep’’ into his men. As 1 have said, they can walk in from the field, locate their bench without a guide, sit down without being told, know when it is their , urn m bat. realize when three are nut. ran find where they left their gloves, put 'em on without Instruc tions and prepare for the opposi tion's assault without being signed.

July B.—The collapse of Manager Frank Chance, of the Chicago Cubs, during the first game of the double header with the Cardinals, at Robison field, last Thursday, may mean the per manent retirement of the “Peerless Lead er" as manager of the once famous base ball machine Tie became so 111 during the matinee that he moved to the South ern hotel.before the games were finished, and Thursday evening departed for Chi cago, chaperoned by Mordecai Brown. According to a certain member of the Chicago baseball party who was here with the team, there was a whole lot of truth to the report from the East during the Cubs' stay there that Chance had in tended retiring from the game. While the team was in Brooklyn he was affected in a similar manner, and it was rumored that he was thinking of quitting baseball and going to his orange ranch in Cali fornia. Later this rumor was denied, but the fact that Chance was unable to stand the heat and baseball excitement during Thursday's first game would Indicate that he is about through as a baseball skipper.

They fail to make the best of opportunities fur nished and can stick on a cushion longer than any players I ever saw. On the hit-and-run Saturday, long singles to right only sent a runner from first to second, when third could have been reached with ease. Fast legs are great things to a ball player, but they are worthless if there isn't an active brain steer ing them. WHEN Hemphill was in the big leagues he was known as a gingery player. He was always out on the line coaching and yell ing. He was filled with "the old pep." But right now he is as quiet as the rest of his team. Come on.

Keep on fighting; wake up that bunch of sleepy players and that team will start climbing. gut there sure 1s no chance for improvement until the Cracker crew does wake up. ONCE KING OF JOCKEYS. NOW DYING IN POVERTY SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., July B. Willie (‘‘Monk") Coburn, once greatest of jockeys, idol of the turf and rider for King Edward VII, is dying, penniless, in this city. Up to a few days ago he was a pub lic charge, an inmate of the tubercular ward of the city and county hospital. But his mother moved him to her hum ble home at 966 Pine street. She want ed to save him the humility of spend ing his last few days a pauper and pub lic ward. Physicians attending him say he 'can not possibly live another month. Coburn In his heyday was one of the greatest jockeys who ever .threw leg over a race horse. At Emeryville he was given his first mount by “Tommy" Lottridge. He rode a horse named Feb ruary. February was 100 to 1, but in that first race "Monk" Coburn showed there were few jockeys around that track who were his equal. In a des perate finish, February won, and John ny Rieff, who rode the derby winner in England two weeks ago. had been out ridden by the exercise hoy. "Monk" Co burn. Then up the ladder of prosperity Co burn literally flew. Every horse owner wanted him to ride, and his engage ments were booked far in advance. Coburn's reputation spread to Eng land. He' was induced to go there, and in a short time was riding under the colors of King Edward of England. It is said King Edward VII took a. great fancy to Coburn and showered him with gifts. ' The lad's pictures were in the magazines and he was the idol of the hour. Coburn made several thou sands of dollars and spent the money just as rapidly and as easily as be made it. But weight began creeping on the “Monk." He often had to go to the Turkish baths to reduce. He had to take long runs. All this was weakening i him, Then the cough—"a mere noth- i ing." he said at first, "just a cold." But ' tuberculosis had settled in his lungs. 1 His strength began to fail. No longer I had he the firm hold on the bridle —his I hands had lost their cunning. A few weeks ago "Monk” Coburn draggde himself back to his old home- ' San Francisco. His mother was the only one who greeted him at the Ferry j building. His friends of earlier pros- ' perity were not there. Those men he I had clinked glasses with had forgotten him. "Monk" is only 29. THE BASEBALL CARD. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Tqpay. Birmingham in Atlanta. Ponce de Leon. I game c .lied at I o’clock. Mobile in Memphis. Montgomery In Chattanooga.
