W hiting. < i c H E <’rackets were so busy last I week in playing double headers that Manager Al perman didn't have much chance to whip his faltering team in line. This week things should run a tri fle easier. Only five games are scheduled —two with the Montgom ery Billikens. of pugtltstlc memory, anti three with Mobile. The Billikens open today. The suggestion that the entire team be put under bond to keep the peace has been dismissed as un necessary. but Cracker platers are, likely to hunt in couples until the blood-thirsty Hobbs and his two fisted cohortV have departed It will, of course, be recalled that the last time the Billikens were hero a mess of them jumped on "Humpty" McElveen and man aged to pound him a good bit be fore assistance .11 rived Thete lias been much talk of revenge, but it is probable that th, incident has been declared dosed by all con cerned. * • ♦ pRIi.M now until tin end of the seaspn Manager Alperman will work in just one direction hi will try to build up something for next year. Every new playet will get a real tryout. The old ones will tie gtv en a chance to show if they real- ! ly have something or not. The <’l ackers w ill carry over a few faille good players into 1913. Let's look them over <>f the catchers, Graham has proved himself a pretty good per former and has Improved steadily His one weakness Is in handling tough plays at the plate when a runner is coming in He will do very well tor next year, however. Ham" Reyonlds the new man picked up from Albany, has caught useful ball. Hi doesn't know all about baseball yet. but if lie learns handily he might make a pretty useful man The pitching staff continues to be a puzzle. With a winning team. Verifier Sitton would have won an awful lot ot games this year. He will surely bo retained and tried out again King Brady ;s an other puzzle. He has looked tre mendously good a times and then again he ha.-n t. With real support, instead of the 1912 Cracker varie ty. "the King might be a good i winner "Buck" Hecker will do to keep and should prove a wonder This chap is really the most prom- I ising looking performer in the lot. Rudolph Waldorf will surely be brought back for a tri.,: again m-yt spring. Tins chap has everything on earth but control, and he will doubtless get i ■ nty of drilling in that necessary art b-tween now and the opening of tne n- xt South ern league season Waldorf still belongs to ihe Cubs but will prob ably be buugnt.

At that it isn't probably. !'■ t B ’ has been up in this league on . tnd had po gr< at luck. • ♦ « THE infield turn■> • - i •■-■■tbicm * If the <’lackers ,an g. ■ Joe Agler back for use next y< ,r - o-y ought to do it sue I: is pl, - i tn d that Joe still belongs to tm i’uh«. but it is likely that he is a s .am I light in weight and in hitting air - ity to play in the big leagui s He Is a corker, though, in this league. Alperman. it is presumed, is a fix ture at second, and his work this year has been so wonderfully good that nothing betetr can be hoped for. It is to be hoped that he keeps himself right the oat s<. on. Kid I' Harbison has proved such a cork- , I ing good man at shot t that the t'rackera will be lucky if some club doesn't buy or draft him Several S'outs have looked him over very carefully he may go higher. Atlanta will be lucky if he remains. He is as good a young player as the elub is likely to pick up. Third base is a puzzle. If Kid Howard's arm is right, no better performer is asked. It doesn't seem to lie quite light yet. Rut it may be by next spring Certainly the Kill will be ordered to report next March for another workout. If his arm Is right, he will go to the big leagues next year. McElveen seems to be a shade slow for third base, and It is likely that he will find himself in lite outfield next year. He is usually a good batter and lively on the bases, so he should make a good man there. In the outfield there will be some men needed for next year. There Is some doubt about Bailey's ease. If he had kypt hitting at, the 300 clip he was going a while back, the New York Americans would have recalled him sure For he is fast on tlte liases, a steady fielder and knows the game But lately, doubt less because of the depressing In fluence of being on a tail-end team, his batting has slumped. As If Stands now. thete is grave doubt whether or not he will be recalled. i If he is nfit, Atlanta fans will be pleased. He has been a good worker this year and would help out next year. Puzzle No 2 in th* outfield is t'allahan Last yeai Dave looked like one of the best outfielders in the business. This year his fielding work has continued good, but his batting has slumped far down. If lu can evei lilt his batting stride, he will be useful. He is worth another tiial next spring. The < hances ate that this was an off yen for Da\e If he takes to bat ting next year he will prove a y ilu.ible outfielder.

Can Alperman use these men as a foundation on which to build a real ball club? That's the big question now. l»Ve'|| admit that it is a. decidedly depressing job. * • • q TORIES have been published in local papers lately that the di rectors of the local baseball asso ciation have served faithfully this year and "deserve another chance." That's fine. It's like the warden of a peniten tiary who found that one of the trusties yyas about to depart "No. 37.681 has been a good, reliable prisoner." he said, "and I'm going to ask the judge to give him ten y ears more." It's the same with the directors. The fans haven't a kick in the yvorld. But the directors want the job just the way a millionaire wants the bubonic plague. "Directing" a tail-end ball club is one of the most depressing jobs in the yvorld. And the present board has had about all of it they are calculated to stand. It's a ten to one shot that if. at the end of the season. President Arkwright of the Georgia Railway and Power Com pany should slip up to some board meeting and announce. "Gentlemen. I have come to give you your jobs for next season." the three directors would quarrel among themselves as to which should first jump out of the fourth story window to escape the honor. Sure, they "deserve" it all right, and every fan hopes that Messrs. Calloway. Nunnally and Ryan will stick to the ship. But anybody who considers them in the light of "de serving candidates" doesn't know them. What they say they deserve is their release. If they do finally agree to serve again next year, they ought to get Carnegie hero medals foi bravery. They all lose time and money every day they serve as directors and officials, and they do it only for the good of baseball and of Atlanta And while the medals are being passed around. President Arkyy tight of the Georgia Rallyvay and Power t'ompany deserves one He has stood by the baseball association just as though it yvas a money mak er. and he has piled coin into it by the thousands, yvith no apparent < hance of getting it out.

Think of some of the fotilfsh moves that the pilots of these men make and the reason for the public's giggles is ]ijain. The latest is from Billy McCamey, guid ing hand of Luther McCarthy, the young giant from the Far West. Billy not only has entered a claim for the discarded title of John Arthur Johnson, but has an nounced that he is entering into negotia tions to take his star to Australia for a series there of five contests. McCarthy a representative of fighting America! No wonder it is to laugh, and laugh heartily. Too Much Work Right Here. McCamey is a clever young man with an endless line of chatter that sometimes is impressive. But he is up against a difficult proposition in making the sport followers of this country think that he has any right to bundle his half-baked fighter off to a foreign country at this time and set him up as an American champion We've got nothing against either Mc- Carthy or McCamey in a personal sense It would be gratifying to see McCarthy make steady progress toward the goal of his ambition —presumably the top of the white heap. But he will find such a plenty to do in this country whipping all of the aspirants to the title vacated by J A. J., that all thoughts of a foreign trip ought to be banished from his mind instanter. Many Men to Get By. If McCarthy can get by in matches with Jess Willard, Jim Stewart. Al Kauf man. Al I’alzer. Jim Barry and a few' of the other almost near champions and then could contrive to dump Bombardier Wells into the mire, then we might be glad to I see him take an Australian trip Just I now such a thing is ridiculous.

Jimmy McAleer Is “Missing Link" to Boston Team Hub’s New President Lets Manager Run Outfit By W. J. Mcßeth. IET me introduce James R. McAleer, president of the Boston Americans. Here is one of the most remarkable men of baseball history. He is remark able because he appreciates the honorable dignity of his position f as few magnates do. He keeps his ■ hands entirely free from the play ing end of the Red Sox and there- . by sets an example that would profit about nine-tenths of the club presidents of the major leagues; There is naturally great tempta tion for club'owners to trifle. They say quite rightly. “It’s my money, and I'm going to have my say." I More than three-quarters of the major league baseball leaders are hand-cuffed and manacled before they assume a leadership. Club presidents ami big stockholders are the real managers. Those credited with the title ate simply decoys. The one man in the big show per fectly qualified to offer advice to his manager Is Jimmy McAleer. president of the pace-making Bos ton Speed Boys. M'Aleer Was Great Manager. Yet he has never so much as batted an eyelash In the direction of Jakg Stahl. McAleer yvent to Boston as head of the American league club an experienced mana ger. Previous to his long mana gerial connections with the Browns and the Senators he had shone for many years as one of the most re markable outfielders of any time. McAleer knows baseball from every angle backward. But in knowing that a presi | dent s position is a truly executive . one he holds the whip hand over his distanced rivals. No one in I the American league Is better qual ified to Interfere in the manage ment of a club,yet McAleer always keeps in the background and lets Stahl really manage and reap whatever glory lies in success. The Boston Red Sox are the great btyeball surprise of 1912 No body dreamed that- when the cam paign opened that the Hub had the ghost of a show with the world's champion Athletics, nor did they under old conditions. John I. Tay lor. the retired presidents always had butted In" on his managers. He figured to do so again this sea son. for he still owns half of the stock. McAleer wished Jake Stahl as a first baseman. He had to of fer the management to wean J. Garland from the banking busi ness in Chicago. Then on the side Jake demanded a chance to buy in a nice block of stock for himself. Looked Like Too Many Cooks. The complications that that sort of a combination held in store were foreseen universally. Every shaip pi edieted a civil war in Boston cir cles that would rip a pennant pos sobility right up the back. Noone eouid see how the broth could pos sibly come out wholesome with half a dozen brawling cooks. Why didn't the expected sto ins break ? lames R McAleer is the answer. He s the buffer that stands between Jake Stahl and interference, and Jake, a practically inexperienced man al the business. has made ' good w ith a rush Jake js a great player and a wise head. Rut it is a •■'l to I bet that he wouldn't have delivered the goods under former Boston conditions, lucky as the ' Hub was in drawing a real pitch- 1 ing staff for the first time since ■ 1904 ; With McAleer's case so strik- j ingly hefoie them, doesn't it seem r a wonder that the rest of the £ American league magnates do not t get onto themselves? They simply must meddle or let Ban Johnson ’ meddle so them. Perhaps McAleer t would have felt differently himself hatj not presidential interference 1 made his long experience in St. Louis one of gall and yvormwood. Experience Is the great teacher and all elub presidents have not the brains or ability to get into the kindergarten of that old school from which McAleer yvas gradu ated. Probably a few examples might set the fussy magnates thinking if they could only spare time from the managements of their clubs to listen. Just once in his life John McGraw let John T. Brush man age the Gients. Mr. Brush got such a burn therefrom that he has scarcely recovered. Blush insisted upon McGraw pitching "Rube" Marquard in a big game in 1908 shortly after the champion SII,OOO beauty reported New York not only lost the game and the pen nant. but two years' service of the best southpayv in the country, not to mention the thousands upon thousands of dollars gate money that hung upon that blunder. Mack Has Free Rein. Connie Mack oyy ns a quarter of the Athletics and he is the one big noise In the management. Connie has been successful because he has no general staff of advisers. The same holds good for Frank 4'hance and Fred Clarke. President Frank Navin did not like the way Hugh Jennings was running a three-time champion team. He insisted upon passing out advice: now the won derful Tiger machine has disin tegrated into a Joke combination. They had the crepe out for Clark Griffith till he really got a chance in Washington. You see yvhat he has already done with a team that Relief for Rupture Without Operation No Hospital or Doctors’ Bill,; No Loss of Time from Work Sent on 60 Days’ Trial \ , I r,n rr.-o' , o .... i . ■ in the i ß , e 'i, an> - need t 0 drag through life in the clutches of rupture.

In New York and Cin cinnati the Old Fox’s hands were tied. You see he is the largest in dividual stockholder in Washing ton. McAleer figures less prominently in the baseball firmament this year than at any time since he broke into the profession. But his light is not hidden under a bushel. And it is doubtful if he ever heard money Jumbling into his coffers one-fourth as fast. Past failures are redeemed by present success, and McAleer will live in history as one of the’wisest guys of the na tional pastime. He knows when to keep his mouth shut. CROSS FAMILY IN RING AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY NEW YORK. Aug. 5. In what has been flamboyantly announced as "the best card ever offered by the St. Nich olas Athletic club." the Cross family, Leach and Phil, will form an important part Wednesday night- Leach has been matched to fight Young Jack O'Brien in the main event. Phil will start the pugilistic ball in action with Johnny Loree. Sandwiched between the Cross brothers’ bouts will be the Johnny Dundee-Patsy Kline match—a bout of ten rounds that has all the earmarks of a featherweight championship battle.
