It IS likely he will arrive in time to take part in one of Monday’s games when the Crackers return home. Clarke Griffith worked Schegg in a game against St. Louis recently and he showed promise of developing into a good hurler. When Schegg signs a Cracker con tract some player now on the local roster will have to be released so the club can stay within the salary limit. It is not known who will be “canned" to make room for the new player, but it will probably be either Pitcher Waldorf or Mike Lyons. THE BASEBALL CARD. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today.

AUGUST 29, 1912. j FODDER FOR~FANS _ ' 1 i . . Billy Evans and Jack Egan had a swell | tune last Sunday afternoon They watched | Ty Cobb umpire a semi-professional game in Washington Cobb got $78.15, mostly in nickels, as his share of the gate, and had to lug it away in a dress suit case. A lot of folks are tumbling to the fact that the Barons are joke pennant winners. H. T. McDaniel, New Orleans baseball i expert, in a recent article says in effect I that the only thing the Barons lack is I ability to bat, field, think and run bases. The Sally league season ends Monday, 1 Labor day. with double-headers in three towns. After that they have a post sea son series to settle. * * e Part of the Athletics’ slump this year may be attributable to overconfidence. They had just won a world’s champion ship and everybody predicted that they were a pennant certainty. Human nature can't stand »oo much confidence. • * • Brooklyn has a girl pitcher. Miss Car rie Kilbourn, who is said to be a real wonder. In a recent game she pitched against the Tacony Athletic club in Phil adelphia and let the T. A. C. batters down with 3 hits. Speaking of the game Hub Perdue re cently beat the Giants, Charley Dryden said “Hub worked hard enough to win half a dozen games. His scenery could not have been wetter if he had slept in the Chicago river.’’ * * • They are calling Rudy Summers the ‘‘giant southpaw" up in Chicago now. They are due a surprise when they see him. For Rudy is built along the archi tectural lines of a mosquito—very filmy, but right there with the sting. • • • Billy Sullivan has been unconditionally released by the White Sox. Next year lie will start the season by working out young pitchers and will end it by scout ing for the Sox. • ♦ ♦ Mrs. Helen Hathaway Britton, owner of the Cards, has given her side of the row with Bresnahan. She says that Roger has made a poor showing with good .ma terial, that his affiliations in the National league are undesirable, that Roger has not been doing his best since he tried to , buy the team and failed, she doesn’t like the idea of the world's tour nor Bresna han’s malodorous alliance with McGraw. Something to that line of reasoning, too. a * a Bill Dahlen seems to have one good move to his credit —that of holding Otto Miller. Otto is developing into a real catcher. a a a The first day Claude Derrick played for Baltimore he tallied the only run the Ori oles made. * * * Enos Kirkpatrick. ex-Cracker. took Red Smith’s place on the Brooklyn team shortly after he joined—but the arrange ment didn’t last long. » a » Tommie Stouch, the old Georgia base ball coach, now with Greenville, has de veloped nothing this year but a tail-ender. However, he will pick an all-star team for a post-season series with the Ander son pennant winners. • • • Pitcher Bauswein. bought by the Crack ers, is slated to pitch some ■ post-season games down iu Carolina. Tp us, at this end of the line, it would appear much more to the purpose if he would report here and take Johnson’s place on the Cracker line-up. • « R Two former Atlanta players are on the all-star team of the Carolina league. Pitcher Roy Radahaugh and Catcher Jack Coveney. Bauswein, who is to become a Cracker, is also on the list. • • • Just about the time they quit reminding _| Youths School Suits Os chum SXfeight Young fellow, you’ll soon return to books—you'll no doubt find the need of another suit—a suit of medium weight, but a weight sufficiently heavy to carry you for quite a while.

ANDERSON WINS “RAG” IN CAROLINA CIRCUIT CHARLOTTE, N. C„ Aug. 29.—8 y winning yesterday afternoon from Win stop-SMem. the Anderson team of the Carolina association clinched its claim to first place and the pennant. Ander son is the smallest town in the circuit, which will close its fifth uninterrupted season next Monday. The Anderson team has been in the lead almost since the season opened. HE COMES HOME TO PAY OWN FUNERAL EXPENSES SCHENECTADY, N. Y„ Aug. 29.—W. M. Clark, a former resident of this city, but now of Elizabeth, N. J., has arrived here to visit friends and incidentally to pay his burial expenses, he being supposedly dead and buried for the last six weeks. At about that time a man was killed at. Binghamton and through cards in his pocket it was thought to be Clark. His sister was notified, went to Bing hamton and identified the body as being her brother's. The burial was arranged for and the sister paid the expenses. I he Big Race Here is the newest dope on how the “Big Five” batters of the American league are hitting: PLAYER. AB. H. P.C.

But Speaker dropped back a notch also. He was at bat six times and secured only two hits. Col lins did some more fine clouting. He faced the pitcher three times and made two hits. Lajoie had a pretty fair day, too. In eight times at bat he garnered three hits. 4. MULIPHy BEATEN 81 BROWN IN HOTFIGHT NEW YORK. Aug. 29.—That Young Brown, a newly risen lightweight from the East Side, has a bright pugilistic future in front of him was the Univer sal verdict today of those who saw him shade Harlem Tommy Murphy in ten hot rounds at the St. Nicholas Athletic [club last night. While Murphy claimed a draw, he was a badly marked man at the end of the contest. Brown showed surprising speed and strength and at times had his opponent puzzled. Boxing experts say that with a little more experience Brown will make himself a prominent figure in the lightweight world. George Kirkwood, of St. Louis, knocked out Tommy Houck, a Philadel phian. in the first bout of the night. The fight ended in the sixth round. In the windup. Willie Beecher, of the East Side, defeated Tommy Ginty, of Scranton, Pa. Beecher made a chop ping block of Ginty's features. JOE MANDOT IS WORKING HARD FOR RIVERS BOUT LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29.—Joe Man dot. entirely recovered from a slight illness, put in a busy day at his train ing camp today. "It’s a strange fact, but this is the first time that I've ever trained faith fully for a ring contest," said Joe to a camp friend. "In New Orleans and Memphis I never worried about beating an opponent in six or ten rounds, and consequently I was not only careless in my training, but often I gave away so much weight to my men that my actions were nothing short of foolish.” Both Mandot and Rivers are figuring on a short bout, each being confident of winning. Rivers expects to turn the trick in ten rounds, while Mandot is going to make an effort to get it all over with long beYore the half station is reached. Neither is figuring on the scrap going the full distance. yS MARTIN MAY ' 19% PEACHTREE STREET UPSTAIRS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL UNREDEEMED PLEDGES y aK FOR SALE X Out=of=Town Readers Can Have This Set Ek#T' /•' f 'zr> \ m I V * j, ‘ >*'Q 9 B BL Y.
