Becker and Waldorf Will Hurl
Today’s Double Bill With Vols
Nashville tenn., Aug. as.
The Crackers are confident
of at least securing another
even break today wb-'ti they hook
up with the Volunteers in the sec
ond double-header of the series
Becker and Waldorf are slated to
do the hurling for the Atlanta tail
enders. while Bill Schwarts will
probably assign Fleharty and West
to the mound job.
The Crackers lost the first game
of ye.'Serday's brace to the tune of
4 to 3. They captured the closing
performance, 6 to 3
Case Beats Sitton.
Case and Sitton were the oppos
ing hurlers 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 check
on the defensive, he was slamming
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 run in the ninth chap
ter on James' bingla Thus he was
responsible for all four of the Vol
unteer counts

LOOKOUT FANS CALLING FOR BILL SMITH’S SCALP
By Percy 11. Whiting.
AS I was walking down the

An old acquaintance 1 did
meet.
Se-z tie: "Old man, why don’t you
boost
Our ball teams like you always

And unto him I sez, sez 1:

’’ Chattanooga on Thursday
afternoon look out for ructions. To
all the complications which make
the Crackers and the Lookouts hate
each othe like Charley Murphy’
hates McGraw has been addeei a
new one.
The Chattanooga papers are call
ing for Smith s scalp- and calling
loud.
They say that since he has ac
cepted a place with Atlanta, he is
unlit 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
Chattanooga baseball team, or else
to make them put up the good ar
ticle of ball of which they are ca
pable. The. performances of the
past few days have brought this
matter to a critical stage Base
ball fans are the most patient anei
hopeful of all the species of the
human race, but there is a limit
even to their optimism. They can
stand for the team to lose when
they are playing good ball anei
losing to another team through
just a little better playing, but
when there is plain evidence that
they are not half trying, whether
e from one cause or another, then It
*1 1* time to take some radical steps
to abate the team's slump.
Various suggestions have been
,p made along this line, but the most
p persistent one. and the one where- .
it m a large majority of local pa
trons agree fs that, inasmuch as
Manager Smith lias announced
that his future allegiance will be

Kid Elberfeld Is Given
Chance to Disorganize
Another Baseball Team
J* CHATTANOOGA. TENN.. Aug. 28.
With the announcement today that Kid
Elberfeld has been secured as man
ager of the Lookouts for 1913. local fans
tn are very much up in the air. They
realize that Elberfeld was once a great

- GERMAN GOVERNMENT
8 ” TO SUBSIDIZE ATHLETES
a!
BERLIN, Aug. 28. —The German gov
-9 ernment will, in all probability, subsi
,.j dize the German Olympic team for the
|s next games, to be held in this city in
19111. to the amount of $25,000 annually
Chairman Pobbielskf, of the German
e Olympic committee, will submit the
project to the kaiser. It is stated, on
>ll the best of authority that his majesty
tv is in strong sympathy w ith such a move,
and that he will bring rfl his influence
to the aid of the athletic cause.
,o Karl Piem. president of the German
P- Amateur Athletic union, will visit the
>n I'nited States to make a study of the
p. American training system. He is of the
ns opinion that lie will be able to pick up
d- so many valuable pointers that Get
id many is bound to figure very promi
re nently in the next games. This country
feels that in posst sslon of the meet it
•n has a golden opportunity to wrest the
’ll championship from tin I'nited States if
at proper attention is paid to development
of athletics the next four tears.
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
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
coulel be done now is for Billy
Smith to hand in his resignation
to be effective at once. This
would, they say, clarify the situ
ation entirely. Smith would then
be a free agent until he takes up
the reins at Atlanta, and in the
meantime could be on the 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
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 care 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
bv many that Smith’s resignation
would not only subserve the best
interests of the tegm and patrons,
but of himself as well.
• ♦ •
I T 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.
• • ♦
Q 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 the Atlanta management
next year. The fact would not
have been known until the end of
the season If they had left it to
him. He isn’t fool enough to take
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
COLLINS .... 425 144 .339
LA JOIE . 320 102 .319
Ty Cobb boosted his average
79-lOOths 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 three hits.

TOMMY MURPHY MEETS

over the Atlanta team just in time
to finish last with it. He is going
to finish worse, anyhow, than he
ever did before in his life.
It has just turned out that
through hard luck they have Bill
in an unpleasant position. But Bill "
will see it through, for that's his
way.
T ELL, 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
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
w’hole situation and studying it out
In order to decide just how far it
fs 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 himjielf.
And it's true as gospel that no
man who lacked 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
-i——SSHiM,.
By Jay Davidson.’
IOS ANGELES. Aug. 28.—Joe
Mandot probably has more
‘ready cash than any fighter
now in training, hie 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
fihters who make big money, Man
dot is not inclined to Invest his
earnings, preferring to put it a way
in a bank vault for emergency cal!
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 bit
more scarred up phpsically than
now, he w-ill be a lot fatter in a
financial way. He will get the big
gest sum for that scrap that he
ever pulled dow-n tor one session
with his padded mitts.
The youngster has not decided yet
what he wants to do when he gets
ready 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 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 wager
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,
Manager Harry Coleman can not
z 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 the world today and can
whip 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 has proved to
me that he is the best there is in
his division, and I will bet that I
am right
"1 regard Rivers as the only real
rival that Mandot has now, with
Wolgast Jemporarily on the shelf
Fact is, we would much prefer to
fight Wolgast than to take on Riv
ers. because we figure the Mexican
is a tougher opponent to beat. Man
dot has mopped up with all rivals
east of here anti he should move
Rivers out of the way long before
the scheduled Hmit of the Tadww
day fracas.
Never Knocked Out.
"Rivers is such a ciassy, brffflznt
scrapper that I do not blame I<o»
Angeles fans for being so daszl«d
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 hia
entire career. He has whipped ail
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 tactic# to
those of his opponent with ease,
w hether boxing a clever opponent
or mauling w-lth a slugger. If Riv
ers wants to box to a decision.
Mandot wilt 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
hour gait. Mandot will carry him
along at 80.
Highly Regards Rivera.
"We do not underestimate Riv
ers at all. We know he fs a high
class fighter and one who is dan
geroua 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 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 fighting weight
now is about 130 pounds, and the
most he ever weighed was 132
popnds, which was too much for
him and left him soft and slow.
If Rivers comes In at *l3O 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."
