Becker and Waldorf Will Hurl
Today’s Double Bill With Vols
N|- ASHVILLE. TENN. Aug 28.
The (.'rackets me confident
of at least seeming another
even break today when they hook
up with the Volunteers in the sec
ond double-header of the series.
Heike and Waldorf are slated to
do the hurling for the Atlanta tail
enders. while Bill Schwartz will
probably assign Flehartv and West
to the mound Job,
The Crackers lost the first game
of yesterday's brace to the tune of
4 to 3. They captured the closing
performance, fi to 3
Case Beats Sitton.
Case and Sitton were the oppos
ing huiters in the first setto, and
the honors easily went to the Vol
unteer. whose work in the pinches
prevented several scores, when,
with men in position to come home,
the Crackers were unable to touch
him up for a bingle.
Lindsay, the fleet little shortstop,
was the man who threw the har
poon into the Crackers While
Case was holding them In cheek
on the defensive, he was -lamming
in the runs on the offensive
it was his double, with the bases
drunk, that drove in the three runs
in the fourth stanza, and he tallied
the winning tun In the ninth chap
ter on .lames' bingle Thus he was
responsible for all four of the Vol
unteer counts.

\X7HEN the Atlanta team opens in
Chattanooga on Thursday
afternoon Ihok out for ructions. To
all the complications which make
lite i'l ackers and the Lookouts hate
each othei like Charley Murphy
hates McGraw lias been added a
new one.
The Chattanooga papers are eall
ing for Smith's scalp—and calling
loud.
%
They say that since lie lias 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 of the
i hattanooga baseball team, or else
to make them put up the good ar
ticle of bull of which they are ca
pable. The performances of the
past tew days have brought this
matter to a critical stage. Base
ball fans are the most patient and
hopeful of all the species of the
human race, but there Is a limit
even to their optimism They can
stand fur the team to lose when
they are playing good ball and
losing to another team through
Just a little better playing, but
when there is plain evidence that
they are not half trying, whether
from one cause or another, then tt
i“ time to take some radical steps
io abate the team's slump.
Various suggestions itave been
made along this line, but the most
persistent amp. and the one w here
in a large majority of local pa
trons agree Is that. Inasmuch as
Manager Smith has announced
that his future allegiance will be
with Atlanta, he Is almost if not

because of the fact that, though

With the announeement today that Kid

are very much up in tile, air. They
r*'.iiize that Elberfeld was once a great
player, but has never shown the ear
marks of Ining a manager.
He disorganized the New York
American it ague team, tunneled Clark

both teams are <»uf of the race for
high honors this season, the
Crackers and Lookouts always
play harden against each ether
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
on the road will be played between
two teams, one of which Smith
manages now. the other of which
he is already signed up to man
age next season.
In view of these facts it is sug
gested that the best thing that
<ould be done now is for Billy
Smith to hand in his resignation
to he effective at once. This
would, they sax. clarify the situ
ation entirely. Smith would then
he a free agent until he takes up
the reins at Atlanta, and in the
meantime could be on the lookout
fnr availably 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 the.' will not be under
Smith next season and as they are
the property of the local owners
they all will expect a try-out next
season under the 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 carp where they fin
ish On the other hand, fans will
say that Smith is more interested
in next year’s work than in the
showing of the team which he is
now managing
So that, all in all. it is believed
by inany that'Smith's resignation
woula not only subserve the best
interests of the team and patrons,
but of himself as well
T 'l' doesn’t take much of this sort
1 hf stuff to get the fans stirred
up. If the Chattanooga papers
Repp 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
blame for the fact that the situa
tion is delicate. He was entirely
within his rights in closing tenta
tively for tlte Atlanta management
next year. The fact would not
have been known until the end of

vv 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
<». B. Andrews, of Chattanooga,
doesn't demand some absolutely
outrageous price for hirn.
If we had had the choosing be
tween Jordan and Elberfeld, it's a
cinch that Jordan would have got
the jflace. 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
once 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
man who lacked control over him
self ever had control over his men

Joe Mandot Is Frugal and Has
$35,000 'Salted Away’ in Bank
By Jay Davidson.
IOS 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
what he wants to do when he gets
rgady to toss aside the gloves and
forget about old man Queensberry.
If he 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
will 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
Angeles in a special car to see the
Labor day scrap might serve ns
proof. Manager Harry Coleman
says that the) have a ssu
round trip fare and already have
sold 35 of the required 50 tickets.
When this Memphis crowd gels
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 wager
ed on Mandot bj them, and when
such a huge sum is dumped onto
the market to back any scrapper
the odds are bound to wabble a
hit. New Orleans, too, is going to
send a few dollars this way to be
placed on the Frenchman to win.
Thinks Him Best Ever.
Manager Harry Coleman can not
be convinced that Joe Rivers can
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 the greatest light
weight in tiie world today and can
whip all ills 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 has proved to
me that he is the best there is in
his division, and I will bet that I
am right.
I regard Rivers as the only real
riial that Mandot has now, with
M olgast temporalii\’ on the shelf.
Fact is. >ve would much prefer to
fight Wolgast than to take on Riv
ers. because we figure the Mexican i
is a tougher opponent tn heat. Man
dot has mopped up with al! rivals
east of here and he should move
Rivers out of the way long before |
By “Bud” Fisher
the scheduled limit of the Labor
day fracas.
Never Knocked Out.
"Rivers is such a classy, brilliant
scrapper that I do not blame Los
Angeles fans for being so dazzled
b\ 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 his
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
1 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. I’s Riv
ers wants to box to a decision,
Mandot will box with him. though
not overlooking any chance to put
over the sporific 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
hout gait. Mandot will carry him
along at 80. ,
Highly Regards Rivers.
"We do not underestimate Riv
ers at all. e know he is a high
class fighter and one who is dan
gerous at all times until put
away. Mandot 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
effects of the change in climate
which affected him the first
we were here. All other conditions
are ideal and we shall have no ex-
Clises 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 fighting weight
now is about 130 pounds, and the
most he ever weighed was 132
pounds, which was too much for
hint 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, 1 predict one of the greatest
scraps Los Angeles fans ever saw.”
