Aug 10 Having added material!) to the pitching and batting strength of the Volunteers by the addition of Pitcher Jimmy West, of Toledo, and Outfielder Jud Da ly, of Brooklyn. Manager Schwartz ta now confident of landing in the first division before the curtain falls on the 1912 Southern league race Nashville has been playing a splendid game of ball during the past month and a half and Schwartz now seems to have h well balanced machine. During the re mainder of the season the Volun teers can be expected to give a good account of themselves with every team in the circuit in their fight to land in the upper font. Mobile and Birmingham, the two leading teams of the league, are the only ones the local fans con sider out of Nashville’s reach Following West’s three-hit game against the Pelicans here Wednes day It was demonstrated that Nashville has another winning pitcher to depend on for the rest of the season and all of the twirlers are now going good, with the ex ception of Teddy Bair, the spitball hurler, who was one of the sen sations of the league last season. Bair Slated to Go. Bair hasn't the "stuff" this sei son that made him so formidable tn 1911 and It Is highly probable that he will not return in 1919 His spltters have lost their "break" and he Is forced to fall back on his speed and head. which is not enough to mill him through a win ner.

Earl Fleharty seems to have discarded his "bean hall” since he injured Ellam al Birming ham and is pitching fair ball with out it. There is no denying, how ever, that it was his chief asset during the first part of the season. He and Charley Case can be de pended on to win a majority of their games during the remainder of the season. Manager Schwartz would be fool ish to entertain any high aspira tions for this'season, but he is bending all sis his efforts toward getting a winning team for 1913. From the present outlook, every member of the local team will be back next season, with the proba ble exception of Summers, who has a chance to stick In the big leagues. Brooklyn May Want James. Manager Schwartz is sure to re turn, and Lattimore, Lindsay and Perry will be back for infield jobs. In the outfield Harry Welchonce, one of the leading bitters of the league; Jud Daly. Del Young and Jesse James will return, unless James is recalled by Brooklyn at the end of the present season. All of these men are good hitters and fast fielders and base runners and there Is no doubt but the local out field will be a strong one when the lit 13 season opens. It is probable that Schwartz will begin a hunt for a hard hitting third baseman and second sacker during the winter, since Lattimore is not a very good batsman and Perry is Hable to have one of his annual slumps at third. With two more fast infielders and a good pitching staff, the locals look for midable for the coming season, al though It is far advanced.

SATURDAY, AUGUST JO, 1912 Crackers Get Away This Afternoon for 16-Game Trip; Will Visit 6 Cities THIS JAUNT IS PART OF Issi TRAINING SEASON By Percy H. Whiting. < 1 tODA Y'S game, if there is any | game—which looked highly improbable as this went to the typewriter, but quite possible as It goes to press—ends the home stay of the Cracker club. Rain or shine, the Crackers depart on an early train for New Orleans this afternoon, to be gone until Sep tember 2. Here is the schedule of the Crackers' road trip: At New Orleans August 11. 12, 13. At Mobile August 16, 17. 18. At Birmingham August 19, 20, 21. At Montgomery August 24. 25. At Nashville August 27. 28. At Chattanooga August 29, 30.31. It's a pretty tough row to hoe, all right, by a tail-end team. But there’s this about it—the club has nothing either to gain or to lose. And Manager Alperman will be able to work his players around any old way and to get a corking good line on their possibilities. The coming trip will really be a part of the 1913 training season. Manager Alperman knows that nothing he can do in the way of winning games for the rest of this season will make any difference and that the main chance Is to find out as much as he can about his men. For next season will soon he rolling around, with a new deck | and a new deal. THE baseball -Ituißtion doesn’t 1 furnish a peculiarly alluring psoposition for next year. It is to he hoped that the Georgia Railway and Power Company will hold the franchise. They don't have to. If they eared to make the price rea sonably low they could sell it. However, they have shown them selves such good spenders and such, game losers that Atlanta is not likely to better itself by a change in ownership.

Ebbets. president of the Brooklyn club, denies that the change is under contemplation, the ru mor came from a reliable source, and adds that the change will take place at the end of the season. JOE JEANNETTE STOPS GRIFFIN IN 3 ROUNDS SCRANTON, PA. Aug 10 Joe Jeannette was an easy winner over H ink Griftin here last night. This was Jeannette's first appearance since lie claimed tile world's heavyweight title, and he made good by stopping Griff in three rounds. A right hand smash sent Griffin through the ropes and he was all in The referee stopped the bout. G. R. & P. Co. can prevail on the present board of directors to serve anoiher year. Constant changes in the board are bad. There is a world of technical information that those who serve as heads of a base ball association must know. It takes a year at least to become really familiar with the duties and the "technique” of the job. The present board has served as weli as anybody in the world could. If they can be prevailed upon to be "it” for another year it will be helpful. tHE big question that the board of directors must face is that of naming a manager. The wretch ed position of the Cracker club since Bill Smith left has been. In a large measure, due to the man agers. Otto Jordan is one of the best men the sbn ever shone on. But Otto doesn't happen to be a manager. It isn’t any discredit to a man not to be a manager. He might make a fine president of the Unit ed States or an excellent king, and yet be a punk manager. Being a successful manager is a peculiarly complicated calling. If a man fails at it he fails, and that ends it. As "Barney” Bernard, of the Cleve land club, remarked the other day, "There have only been a few man agers in the world, anyway—and • most of ’em are dead.” Hemphill was considerably worse as a failure than anybody- else At lanta ever had, because he couldn't keep either himself or his men in line. And yet it looked at the first of this season as though Hemphill was the ideal manager. He was • experienced. intelligent, earnest, respected by his former team mates, on terms of friendship with big league managers. But he failed. it is up to the baseball associa tion to select a man who can take tile backing given a mogul here in Atlanta and manufacture a ball NEWS FROM RINGSIDE Jack Dillon, the Hoosier middleweight, and Harry Lewis were matched yester day for a ten-round fight at the St.' Nich olas A of New York.

Blessed if we know. Blessed if ANYBODY knows. He hasn’t done anything with the shattered remains he inherited from Charley Hemphill. But then John McGraw-, or Connie Mack, or Charley Frank, or Jawn Ganzel— all tolerably successful managers, in their humble way—would prob ably not have done one whit better. The question that the baseball association must decide is: Can Alperman take a lot of good mate rial next spring and make a win ning ball club out of it? After they've answered that one. they must ask themselves: “If not, who can?” There are always plenty of can didates. Probably one out of every hundred candidates would make a passably good manager. Probably' one out of every ten thousand is a “real manager." * * • THE trouble about this manager 1 business is that it takes two or three years for a man to be come a manager, no matter what his natural ability is.

A little wildness by the Gull in the first Inning, a lucky hit, a flicker in the infield and a steal of the platter by Bailey, gave the Crackers three runs and they k needed no more.

THAT baseball can make real fortunes for owners of major league clubs has been dem onstrated time and again. That it can do almost as well for ball play ers is about to be proven by Rube Marquard, this year’s sensation in a pitching way. Ability and appli cation are requisites when it comes to making money, but the combi nation possessed by Rube—ability and luck—is the happiest. That Marquard has ability few can doubt after his feat in winning nineteen straight victories. No one outside of New York will admit that he is the best of the game’s left-handers. The general opinion is that the other famous southpaw. Rube Waddell, in his best days, outclassed the New Yorker in me chanical effectiveness, and that Rucker. Plank, White and Sallee have been or are just as good as McGraw's Rube. But the general public overlooks the fact that sev eral of Marquard’s triumphs were flukey, that he has been hit hard and that his shut-out victories have been scarce. And the general pub lic is what counts in a money sense. Lucky To Be With Giants. Rube is lucky in that he is pitch ing for New York Instead of Bos ton. St. Louis or Brooklyn. He is lucky' to be with a winner with a team of heavy hitters, which makes victories easy for him. Nothing but the Giants’ downfall in the race for the pennant can prevent Mar quard s making more money than ever was accumulated before in a single year by a ball player. If the Giants repeat and then capture the world’s championship, so much the better. But if they only suc ceed in getting the National league flag and if Marquard can pitch one good game in the big series his for tune is made. In the first place, there is his salary. Because of the fact that he was of very little use to the Giants for three years, the chances are that his annual stipend is not more than $4,500, if it is that much. But there will be a bonus this year for him amounting to at least SI,OOO. Then. New York sporting men have promised to reward him for his great work, and it is safe to say he will he presented with at least another $2,000 by them. In addition, he will be given an au tomobile, whether he is chosen as the National’s most valuable man or not. If the sporting writers do not elect him his friends will. The world’s series split will net him either $2,700 or $3,500, depending on the Giants’ success or failure. $22,000 in Vaudeville. And then comes the real money.

On the best of authority it is learned that one of the vaudeville syndicates has offered Marquard a 22 weeks engagement at a weekly salary- of SI,OOO. This offer holds good only' if New York wins the pennant, so you may rest assured that at least one member of the Giant pitching staff Is pulling against the Cubs. If the Giants hold their lead to the end, Marquard’s earnings for one year will easily reach $35,000, If they win the big title, he will make more than that. Further more, he will be In a position next spring practically to name his own terms. Let Rube’s luck, or part of it, hold out for another season or two and it is safe to say that his baseball career will mean at least SIOO,OOO to him. Marquard is still a young man, and if he takes care of himself there is no reason why he should not last seven or eight years more. He can not hope to go on as long as Mathewson has, for he hasn’t the ability to conserve his strength when it is not needed. This is undoubtedly Rube’s best year, and it is up to him to make the most of it. In Minors Six Years Ago, Six years ago Marquard was pitching for the Canton club in ths Central league at the princely sal ary of $125 per month, ©very batter in that circuit had a whole some respect for him, but the al most unanimous verdict was that he would never "stay up” tn th« big show because of his awkward ness and his weakness tn fielding. In those days Rube never dreamed of the good fortune awaiting him. He was content to go along win ning a big majority of his games and taking his frequent scoldings from mates and manager. Ye. a, Rube was "bawled out” just as oft en in the bushes as he has been since McGraw took hold of him. and |t was undoubtedly his early teaching that made htm take Mc- Graw’s abuse so calmly. Well, as every one knows, he came up, was sent back and came up again. He isn’t graceful nor a good fielder today, and there are those who say he would be ont plowing but for his luck, but he 1e getting more, money than an over whelming majority of us and he has taken enough verbal punish ment to deserve it.
