VIfHEN the Atlanta team opens in
Chattanooga on Thursday
afternoon look out for ructions. To
all the < ompli.ations w hich make
the Ctackt rs and the Lookouts hate
each otho like Charley Murphy
hates McGraw has been added a
n< w one.
The Chattanooga pajiers are call
ing lot Smith's scalp—and calling
loud.
The\ say that since he has ac
cepted a place with Atlanta, he is
unfit to hold the reins In Chatta
nooga. For instance, here's this
from The Chattanooga News:
Something must be done to
either stop the losing streak ot tlie
Chattanooga baseball team, or else
to make them ,mt up the good at
thle of ball of which they are ca
llable. The performances of the
past tew days have brought this
matter to a critical stage. Base
ball tans are tlie most patient and
liopettll ot all tlie species of tile
human race, but there is a limit
even to their optimism. They can
stand for the team to lose when
they are pla.i Ing good ball and
losing to another t,.am through
lust a little better playing, but
when there is plain evidence that
they are not half Irving, whether
from one cause or another, then It
is lime Io take some radical steps
to abate tlie team's slump
Various suggestions have been
made along this line, but tlie most
persistent one. and tin- one vv here
in a large ma.joritv of local pa
irons agree is that, inasmuch as
Manager Smith lias announce,!
that Ids future allegiance will lie
will, Atlanta, lie is almost, if not
'lllite, ineligible Io lead Hie Chat
tanooga team for the remainder of
th- season This is especiallv true
because of the fact that, though
Kid Elberfeld Is Given
Chance to Disorganize

CHATTANOOGA. TENN. Aug. 28.-
With the announcement todav tli.it Kid
Elberfeld has been secured as man
ager of the Lookouts for 1913. local fans
ire very much up in the air. They
realize that Elberfeld was once a great
plaver, but has nevet shown the ear
marks of being a manager.
He disorganized the New York
American le.igu, team, tunneled Clark
Griffith ofit of his job and made a bad
• mess out of everything he did Still,
President Andrew s believes that Elber
feld has quieted down and that he will
give local fandom a winning organiza

both teams are out of the race for
high honors this season, the
Crackers and Lookouts always
play harder against each other
than against any other team and
the first series when the team re
turns home Is against Atlanta.
This puts Smith in an embar
rassing situation to say the least.
In other words, the first home
games after a long losing streak
oti tiie road will be played between
tvo teams, one of which Smith
manages now, the other of which
lie is already signed up to man
age next season.
In view of these facts it is sug
gested that the best thing that
could he done now is for Billy
Smith to hand in his resignation
to lie effective at once. This
would, they say. clarify the situ
ation entirely. Smith would then
»<■ a free agent until he takes up
the reins at Atlanta, and in the
meantime could be on tbe lookout
for available material for the
Cracker team. As it stands the
players on the Chattanooga team
have, as they believe, little to
gain by playing hard. They real
ize that they will not be under "
Smith next season and as they are
tlie property of tbe local owners
they all will expect a try-out next
season under Hie new manager,
whoever he may be. They also
realize that it is an uphill fight to
even get and remain in the first
division If they can’t get as
high as fourth place, they prob
ably do not care where they fin
ish On the other hand, fans will
say I hat Smith is more interested
in next year's work than in the
showing of the team w hich he is
now managing
So that, all in all. It is believed
by many that Smith's resignation
would not only subserve the best
interests of the team and patrons,
but of himself as well.
• ♦ *
I ’l’ doesn’t take much of this sort
1 of stuff to get the fans stirred
up. If the Chattanooga papers
keep after it a bit they will get the
fans yelling. And if once they start
hooting Bill Smith on the Chatta- .
nooga field anything is likely to
happen, for Bill doesn't enjoy be
ing hooted.
♦ ♦ ♦
C TILL, Bill Smih is pursuing the
right course. He is not to
Ida me for the fact that the situa
tion is delicate. He was entirely
within his rights In closing tenta
tively for the Atlanta management
next year. The fact vvouhl not
have been known until the end of
the season if they had left it to

The Big Race
Here is the newest dope on how the
“Big Five" batters of the American
league are hitting:
PLAYER— AB. H. P.C.
COBB 451 186 .412
SPEAKER 472 191 .405
JACKSON 454 168 .370
COLLINS42S 144 .339
LAJOIE . 320 102 .319
Ty Cobb boosted his average
79-100ths of one point yesterday by se
curing two hits in four times at bat.
Speaker lost that much by getting only
two safe swats in seven trips to the
plate. As a result, the Georgia Peach
is now a fraction under seven points
ahead of the Buston slugger.
Jackson fell off three notches yes
terday by failing to connect safely in
three times at bat. Collins hit .500 for
the day. He was up twice and garnered
one hit. Lajoie faced the pitcher seven
times and smashed out thiee hits.

to finish last with it. He is going
to finish worse, anyhow, than he

It has just turned out that

will see it through, for that’s his
way.

ELI., Kid Elberfeld gets the
’’ managerial job in Chattanooga.
And that means that Otto Jordan
isn't especially needed in Lookout
ville, and that he will come to At
lanta, provided, of course. President
O. B. Andrews, of Chattanooga,
doesn't demand some absolutely
outrageous price for him.
If we had had the choosing be
tween Jordan and Elberfeld, it's a
cinch that Jordan would have got
the place. Somehow there doesn't
seem a chance for Elberfeld to
make a success as a manager.
Have you ever noticed that the
rowdies of baseball seldom succeed
as managers? You might point at
onee to McGraw. True, he is a
rowdy. But McGraw Is a studious
rowdy. He is a rough neck largely
for publicity and intimidation pur
poses. When he appears to be boil
ing mad. the chances are he is
laughing in his sleeve over the
whole situation and studying it out
In order to decide Just how far it
Is safe and desirable to go with
any piece of rowdyism he is pulling
off.
But Kid Elberfeld isn't that kind
of a trouble-maker. He's perfectly
, sincere about it. When he appears
to be mad. he IS mad. He loses all
control over himself.
And it s true as gospel that no
m in who lacdved control over him
self ever had control over his men.
Still, the appointment of Elber
feld makes for excitement and trou
ble and assorted varieties of hot
stuff.
The Chattanooga-Atlanta games
next season, with the determined
Bill Smith managing Atlanta and
the peppery Elberfeld leading Chat
tanooga, should be exciting indeed.

Joe Mandot Is Frugal and Has
$35,000 ‘Salted Away’ in Bank
By Jay Davidson.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 28—Joe
Mandot probably has more
ready cash than any fighter
now in training, his bank roll rep
resenting a total of 35,000 hand
some, lovely Iron men, all subject
to draft whenever Joey gets ready
to go out and paint the town red—
which he says he never has done
and never will do. Unlike most
slitters who make big money. Man
dot is not inclined to invest his
earnings, preferring to put it away
In a bank vault for emergency call
and where it will increase at the
rate of about four per cent a year.
Mandot has had 41 fights and
.has averaged more than SI,OOO for
each, as proved by his possession
of $35,000, the remnants of his to
tal earnings. Probably his average
earnings will exceed SI,OOO. But
the most money he ever received for
a single scrap was .$2,500. When he
keeps his engagement with Joe
Rivers, although he may be a bit
more scarred up phpsically than
now. he will be a lot fatter.in a
financial way. He will get the big
gest sum for that scrap that he
ever pulled down for one session
with his padded mitts.
The youngster has not decided yet
w hat he wants to do when he gets
ready to toss aside the gloves and
forget about old man Queensberry.
If hi had made up his mind in this
regard he probably would not have
such a big bank roll lying idle.
Some day, he says, when he quits
the ring, he wants to have suffi
cient capital to establish himself in
business and then he will have the
ready cash at his command to do
business with. He has no bad hab
its. does not dissipate, and says he
w ill get married some day and set
tle down.
Memphis Sports Coming.
Joe is a popular boy in New Or
leans, his home town, and in Mem
phis. where he has done most of
his fighting. As indicating his pop
ularity, the fact that 50 of his Mem
phis friends are coming to Los
Angelos in a special car to see the
Labor day scrap might serve as
proof. Manager Harry Coleman
> says that they have secured a SSO
round trip fare and already have
sold 35 of the required 50 tickets.
. When this Memphis crowd gets
in town the betting on the fight is
going to liven considerably, as ev
ery man Jack of them will have a
( bet down on his lightweight idol.
, Not less than SIO,OOO will be wagei'-
I ed on Mandot by them, and when
, such a huge sum is dumped onto
the market to back any scrapper
, the odds are bound to wabble a
, bit. New Orleans, too, is going to
send a few dollars this way to be
placed on the Frenchman to win.
, Thinks Him Best Ever.
I Manager Harry Coleman can not
i be convinced that Joe Rivers can
I whip his boy. He thinks that Man
; dot is the greatest lightweight in
the world and can whip any of his
rivals from Wolgast down to the
pork-and-beans class. Here is his
■ statement:
■ "Joe Mandot is (he greatest light
weight in the world today and can
w hip all his rivals, from Wolgast to
> the raw recruits, in a most deci
sive manner in a twenty-round
scrap. That explains why I think
he surely will whip Rivers on La
bor day. Mandot lias proved to
me that he Is the best there is in
his division, and I will bet that I
am right.
, "I regard Rivetl’ as the only real
i rival that Mandot has now, with
. Wolgast temporatily on the shelf.
Fact is. we would much prefer to
’ tight Wo gast than to take on Riv
' j ers. because we figure the Mexican
I is a tougher opponent to beat. Man
. dot has mopped up with all rivals
east of here am! he -hoiild move
I Rivers out of the wav l..ne 1., fore
" ■■■
the scheduled Mmlt of the Labor
day fracas.
Never Knocked Out.
' Rivers is such a classy, brtTMant
scrapper that I do not blame Los
Angeles fans for being so dazzled
by him that they can see no other
fighter in the ring with him. But
they should not overlook my boy
Mandot has had 41 fights and'never
was knocked out, and only kissed
the mat for one knockdown in h.is
entire career. He has whipped all
the lightweights of any conse
quence except Rivers and Wolgast
and now is ready to finish them.
“He is the most versatile fighter
I ever saw. He can hit from any
position, can adapt his tactics to
those of his opponent with ease,
whether boxing a cleVer opponent
or mauling with a slugger. If Riv
ers wants to box to a decision,
Mandot will box with him, though
not overlooking any chance to put
over the sporifle touch. If he wants
to make it a slugging battle. Man
dot will accommodate him. If Riv
ers wants to go at a 75-mile-an
hour gait, Mandot will carry him
along at 80.
Highly Regards Rivers,
“We do not underestimate Riv
ers at all. We know he is a high
class fighter and one who is dan
gerous at all times until put
away. Alandot will be perfectly
trained and in tiptop condition
when he enters the ring, and we
shall refuse to be convinced that
Rivers is the better man until it is
proved to us. Mandot is acclimated
already, having recovered from the
elects of the change in climate
which affected him the first week
we were here. All other conditions
are ideal and we shall have no ex
cuses if we lose.
'Mandot will not weigh more
than 130 pounds when he enters
the ring. He is a natural 128-
pounder and we would have made
that weight for the Mexican had he
insisted. His best righting weight
now is about 130 pounds, and the
m'ost he ever weighed was 132
pounds, which was too much for
him and left him soft and slow.
If Rivers comes in at 130 pounds,
as I understand he will do, they
will be at even weights, and since
they are so evenly matched other
wise. I predict one of the greatest
scraps Los Angeles fans ever saw.”
