Bill Schwartz Confident He’ll
Land Vols in First Division
NASHVTLLE. TENN.. Aug 10.
Having added materially to
the pitching and batting
strength of the Volunteer* by the
addition of Pitcher .Timmy Went,
of Toledo. and Outfielder Jud Pa
ly of Brooklyn. Manager Schwartz
is now confident of landing In the
flint division before the curtain fall*
on the 1913 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 a 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

Mobile and Birmingham, the two
leading teams of the league, ate
the only ones the. local fans con
sider out of Nashville’s reach.
Following West's three-hlt 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 twfriers
are now going good, with the ex
ception of Teddy Bair, the spltball
hurler, who was one of the sen
sattons of the league last season.
Bair Slated to Go.
Bair hasn’t the "stuff" this sea
son that made him so formidable
tn 1911 and it Is highly probable
that he will not return In 1913
His spltters have lost their "break”
and ho Is forced to fall back on his
Speed and head, which Is not
enough to pull him through a win
ner.

ever, that It was his chief asset
during the first part of the season
He and t’harlex t’ase 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 of his efforts toward
getting a winning team for 1913.
From the present outlook, every
member of the local team will he
back next season, with lhe 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

In tile outlield Hairy Welelionce,
one of the leading hitters 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
1913 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 liable to have one of his
annual slumps al third. With two
mote fast infielders and a good

Crackers Get Away This Afternoon for 16-Game Trip; Will Visit 6 Cities
THIS JAUNT IS PART OF 1913 TRAINING SEASON
By Percy 11. Whiting.
rTViDAY'S game, if there is any
I game—which looked highly
Improbable as this went to
tile typewriter, but quite possible
as it goes to press ends the home
slax of the Cracker club. Rain ot
shine, the Crackers depart on an
early train for New Orleans this
afternoon, to be gone until Sep
tember 2.
Hero Is the schedule of the
<'racket s’ road trip:
At New Orleans August 11. 12. 13.
At Mobile August 16, 17. 18.
At Birmingham August 19. 20. 2 1.
At Montgomery August 24. 25.
At Nashville August 27, 28.
At Chattanooga August 29. 30,31.
It's a pretty tougii tow 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 be
rolling around, with a new deck
and a new deal.

JOE JEANNETTE STOPS
GRIFFIN IN 3 ROUNDS
st’RANTON PA f Aug 10—-Joe
Jeannett, was an easy winner over
Hank Griffin here last night. This was
Jeannette’s tirst appearance since he
claimed the world's heavyweight title,
and he made good by stopping Griff
In three rounds. A tight hand smash
sent Griffin through the ropes and he
was all in The referee stopped the
bout.
G. R. it- P. Co. can prevail on the
present hoard of directors to serve
another year Constant changes in
the hoard 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 well
as anybody in the wprlfl could. If
they can be prevailed upon to be
"it” for another year it will be
helpful.
• • •
pHE big question that the board
4 of directors must face is that
of naming a manager. The wretch
ed position of the Cracker club
since Bill Smith left has been, tn
a large measure, due to the man
agers Otto Jordan is one of the
best men the sun ever shone on.
But otto doesn’t happen to be a
managel'.
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
<ompllcated calling If a man fails
al 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
lhe backing given a mogul here in
Atlanta and manufacture a ball

Can Alperman do it?
Blessed if we know.
Blessed Ls 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 .lawn Ganzel—
all tolerably successful managers,
in their humble way—would prob
ably not have done one w hit better.
The question that the baseball
association must decide is: t’ati
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
’ business IS that it takes two
or three years for a man to be
come a manager, no matter what
his natural ability is. That rather
adds to the complications, as may
be observed
• • •
J T may be said in conclusion that
the Crackers got away with a
game yesterday—and they did it
with no less a pitching authority
in the box than Al Demaree. Giant
to-be and the highest priced man
ever sold by a Southern league
team. More than that, they did it.
despite the fact that Al allowed
only two hits. 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
needed no more. Brady pitched
excellent ball and deserved what
he got. He allowed hits, all right;
but when times got troublesome he
steadied down neatly.

YACHTS IN FIRST HEAT
OF INTERNATIONAL RACE
i Hit AGO. Aug. 10.—Skippers and
crews of the sloop Patricia of the Roy
al Canadian Yacht club at Toronto and
the Mfchicago of the Chicago Yacht
club were at work early today putting
finishing touches on their vessels be
fore sailing the first heat of the race
for the Great Lakes international cup.
The boats were scheduled to cross the
starting line on a ten and a half-mile
triangular course at 11 o'clock.
The race marks the beginning of a
water carnival in which both sailing
and motor boats will take part.
It will take five days to fight out the
battle for the Great l.akes cup. The
yachts will sail twice around the tri
angular course on the first, third and
fifth day s <>n the second day they will
sail an eighteen-mile windward route
and on the fourth day an eighteen-mile
leeward course.
Rube Marquard Will Clean Up
$35,000 if Giants Cop Pennant
By Janies Clarkson.
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—ls 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 tn 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
lhe pennant can prevent Mar
quard's making more money than
ever was accumulated before in a
single year by a Dall player. If
lhe 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 «<s 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
$1,90(1. Then. New York sporting
men have promised to reward him
•for his great work, and it is safe
to say he will be 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.

inactive condition of the system. Those members whose duty it is to expel
all refuse matter do not properly perform their work, and an unhealthy ac
cumulation is absorbed into the blood. Then instead of performing its

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA. GA.
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 IJ 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 Age.
Six years ago Marquard was
pitching for the Canton club in the
Central league at the princely sal
ary of $125 per month. Every
batter in that circuit had a whole
some respect for him, but the al
most unanimous verdict was that
he would never "stay up” in the
big show because of Ms awkward
ness and his weakness In fielding,
in those days Rube never dreamed
ot 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. Yes,
Rube was "bawled out" just as oft
en In the bushes as he has been
since McGraw took hold of him.
and it was undoubtedly his early
teaching that made him take
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 out
plowing but for his luck, but he is
getting more money than an over
whelming majority of us and he
has taken enough verba) punish
ment to deserve it.
