Montgomery team is scheduled to play. Wednesday Is one of those Southern league rarities—a sched uled off day Thursday. Friday and Saturday the Gulls play in Atlanta. Then the < ’rackers make a quick jump for New Orleans, where they Mk open their last stand in the Far " South. . The Birmingham team has a tre mendously useful batting attack. They bowled over the Crackers with it several times yesterday. Any time when a couple of men like Almeida and McGtlvray are bunched together on a batting ol - der. they are likely to make trou ble any old time. It appears to me that Almeida Is easily the best third baseman that the Southern league ever saw. If he has a fault, be has never dis played It on the Atlanta field He is quick as ti cat, fields faultlessly , throws like a ride shot, bats like a dem ml If he has a falling, which isn’t admitted, It is that he throws a. shade too hard to bases. He drove the ball into second yester day with speed enough to telescope L an average baseman But if this is a fault ii <<>ines from over-wllllng ‘’ncss ait<i Isn’t charged up against him in the bis books of the league. \ ■’i’>r ft.i; ■ f new Crackers made j - ■**' icir 'list appearance 'yester • day.

It has been agreed that players are entitled to "what they can get” on balls hit there. That makes it necessary for the outfielders to do a lot of undig nified scratching and scrambling and pawing to get the hall out. in an attempt to hold the runner at third. Crawling under fences after the pill isn’t a legitimate part of liasebdl. All this trouble could be obviated by boarding up below the signs. Then no ball could go un de:, and every ball which went over Would be a it-gitlmiite home run. « * * 't II \T Hu footb:.ll season Isn’t * far nw was Indicated yester day by the presence in the Atlanta press box of \V.

DYING CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Friends and ad mirers of Danny Green, for years an idol at the West and South Side ball parks, will be grieved to learn that he is confined in the Cook county Infir mary at Oak Forest and that hope of h's getting better has been given up. Tuberculosis is Danny’s complaint. He has been ill for two years, bat it was not until a month ago that he gave up ..nd yielded to his friends' pleading that he go to a hospital. Green first won a place in the hearts of Chicagoans by his work as an out fielder on the West Side team when Bill Lange, Dahlen, Callahan and Grif fith were members of the club. H.- was fast on his feet and a dangerous hitter. When the -baseball war started Danny Jumped from the West to the South Side and took a regular Job in the White Sex outfield.

W. Smith. /"|~BHE self-effacement of John Arthur Johnson is of no im mediate help to the white race. No matter what may be said on the subject and how the public / may choose to figure out a techni cal and a tactical reason for put ting him <-ut of the championship he remains the champion still and always will be so regarded. And another thing sticks out prominently when we are told to hope for the early return of su premacy of the while race. There are exactly three large, dark clouds on the horizon that must be tapped before such a situation can be brought about. No White Man Capable. These clouds are labeled Jean nette, Langford and McVey. If we could but find a white man capable of sloughing either one of them we might find cause for rejoicing, but alas and alack, there isn't a white person in sight who stands the ghost of a chance with them. So what matters it if Johnson does retire, speaking now of white hopes? The title may revert to a white man in time and that man NEWS FROM RINGSIDE Al "Balzer and Tom O’Rourke have patched up their trouble, according to re ports from Gotham. It is said O’Rourke will be seen in Palzer’s corner when the big ’hope" tights again.

But just now those clouds are real clouds that look too high to be punctured by any of the white men aviating in that general direction. Means What He Says. Personally I believe what John son says about his retirement. 1 have reason to know that Jack is so infernally sick of the grind of training that it simply makes him sick to even give thought to it. And at his age and after his seven teen or eighteen years of activity in the ring, some of those years being mighty lean in a financial way, he can scarcely be blamed for feeling that way about it. During a discusison of lean times one day out at Las Vegas. Jack mentioned this, and seemed anx ious to impress his hearers with the sincerity of the thing. “Why, the first time I landed in Chicago it was the middle of the winter and I didn't have an over coat. And, believe me, that year it didn't even start to get summer time until along in August,” lie said.

"It’s different now, of course, but even in my present affluence I nev er look back to those old days with any great feeling of pleasure. They were hard days, and I never found a great many friends.” Has Business Instincts. It doesn't seem possible that they will ever succeed in breaking John son, judging from the rare business acumen and strength he shows in his dealings in ring affairs. This . trait shifted over to its purpose in the ordinary pursuits of life should make Johnson everlastingly and forever safe from the touch of want. One must know that Johnson is pretty sick of the fighting game when he will deliberately turn his back upon a pile of $20,000 that he could gather as easily as he gath ered his money in Las Vegas a month or so ago. It doesn't appear to be possible to find the man who has so much money that he doesn’t care to garner just now a little bit more, but here’s one man to whom the lure of the coin amounts to nothing and is easily turned aside. Johnson was an unusual cham pion and it looks as if he would continue to be unusual until his dying day. MARQUARD MUST PAY $25 FOR PITCHING ONE INNING CINCINNATI. Aug. 2.—Rube Mar quard, star pitcher of the New York Nationals, was fined $25 by the national baseball commission for pitching one inning for the Port Chester, N. Y„ in dependent baseball team. In so doing, although not in uniform, the commission holds that he violated its ruling that no national agreement player can play with or against out side clubs during their contract period. Marquard had telegraphed for per mission to attend the game, and consid ered the commission’s consent sufficient to pitch one inning. ffTORSYTH I 2:» ■ Atlanta's Busiest Theater J Tonight 8:30 STELLA MAYHEW' NextVeeT Assisted by Billie Taylor 6 MUSICAL CUTTYS Marshall P.
