Schwartz’s move In replacing
Jesse James, in right field, with
Delmar Dewaine Young, the Cleve
land grocery clerk, and the subse
quent sale of Jesse to the Pelicans,
a 111 likely be the last time the boy
leader will tinker with the lineup of
the club, out."ide of a choice between
Iwirlers Le'ty Williams and Charles
".lonah” Case.
James' work on the rightfield preci
pice in Sulphur Dell was a great im
provement over the showing made by
Young, for he is a fast fielder and
has a whip of steel. But the ex-Texas
Leaguer wasn’t doing any great
amount of damage and since he was
owned by Brooklyn. Schwartz de
cided to allow Frank to claim him
at the waiver prince.
Dell Young has all along been
frank to confess that the steep hill
in right has been an unsolvable rid
dle to him, owing to his weight but
he insists that on the road he can
field with the best of them. It be
gins to look as if his alibi will have
to be accepted for Young on the road
is continually making all sorts of
hair-raising catches, while at home
he looks like a school boy. Schwartz
will probably shift Davey Callahan
to the cliff when the club returns and
use Dell in center.
There is no denying that the Cleve
land boy can clout the ball and just
now some hard hitting-would come in
mighty handy with the flingers
stumbling along as they are. In field
ing there isn't a club in the circuit
that has the call over the lucky Vols,
for in Lindsay, Goalby and Bill
Schwartz they have the fastest double
play trio that ever choked off a bat
ting rally in the Southern.

Mobile May Slump a Bit Very Soon
Bv Percy H. Whiting.
T HE Southern League clubs are
getting ready for the first show
down. Up to yesterday the
Eastern clubs were playing only in
the East, the Western clubs in the
West.
What these' games proved was
merely that:
1. Atlanta and ’ Nashville were
stronger in the East than Chattanoo
ga and Birmingham.
2. Mobile and Montgomery are
stronger in the West than Memphis
and New Orleans.
IJp to yesterday no Eastern club
had played a Western club.
So, as far as the records go, every
club in the Eastern division might
be stronger than any In the Western.
And Mobile, with all its lead, might
be able to finish no better than fifth.
Our private opinion is that the East
ern clubs may puncture the Gulls'
bubble.
The games of the next couple of
weeks will give us some real line on
what is to be expected.
* * *
J UST how much Leonard Dobard
has had to do with the knocks on
rhe Atlanta club published in papers
in the Southern section, we don t
know. But knowing him, we have an
idea. Here is a fair sample of what
is appearing:
Refusing to join the Beaumont Texas
League club, to which he was released
under an optional agreement, Leo Do
bard. local shortstop, whom the Crack
ers secured from Cralk Griffith, of the
Washington club, returned to New Or
leans Tuevs^y.
Dobartf was out in a Montgomery
uniform during the practice, and it is
probate he will become a member of
•Jawr” Dobbs’ Billikens, if a trade
< an ©e arranged with the Crackers.
Dobbs is eager to get Dobard. and
ii Vs believed Billy Smith will turn
him over to Montgomery.
The local boy is said to have re
newed a raw deal from Billy Smith.
Ii seems that Dobard was brought to
\qanta and practically forced to sign
a contract calling for the same salary
that he drew last year from the Day-
ion Central League club.
In working this ancient trick Smith
was violating the rules of baseball,
for a player taken from a smaller
league is entitled to a boost in salary.
Following a quarrel, however, Smith
shipped Dobard to Beaumont.
* * *
L ET’S have a look at Dobard's rec
ord:
He was secured from the Central
League by draft.
When reporting time came Dobard
was one of the last men to report.
He claimed to be in good condition
but he didn’t show it.
No man on the team acquired tke
enmity of ALL the fans any sooner.
When it tame time to sign Dobard
wouldn’t sign.
He took his said story to Bill
Smith.
•‘Don’t sign, and see if I give a
cuss.” Bill Smith told him. “You make
me tired. You haven’t shown me
ANYTHING. You’re lucky to be of
fered a contract. Sign it or GET
OUT.”
Dobard suited around a day or two
and then sigipd.
After he was a member of the team
he showed even less than before. If
ever there was a rum-dum playing
ball in Atlanta Dobard was the man.
He fielded miserably, threw wretch
edly, got crossed on signals, was a
joke on bases and didn’t show any
thing.
Finally, in disgust. Bill Smith sold
him to Beaumont. Instead of going
he sticks around and tells the news
papers what an awful deal Bill Smith
handed him.
In our opinion Bill paid Dobard a
signal honor in thinking he was good
enough for the Beaumont club and
handed an awful knock to the Texas
League at the same time.
If Dobard had been offered $85 a
month to play in Atlanta it wou'c
have been shamqful carelessness on
the part of Bill Smith in wasting
Crackers’ money.
* * *
L)RANCH RICKEY, coach of the
University of Michigan team has
a new one. He is handcuffing his
players in bunting practice. Of
course he doesn’t use the regular po
lice bracelets. But he ties ropes to
their wrists and then fastens them
to their belts.
The idea is to keep them from hit
ting at the high ones.
Rickey tried to talk his men out of
bunting at the lofty hurls but it did
no good. Then he tied their arms
down. With the handcuffs on, if a
man tries to bunt at a high one i*.
nearly breaks his wrists.
This plan might work with Bill
Smith’s men. They surely lack a lot
of being polished bunters right at
present.

NEW ORLEANS. May 6.—Bob Tar-
leton’s job with the Billikens is* every
thing but safe, according to reliable
information. Johnny Dobbs is said
to be awaiting Joe Kutina, a hold-out
to report and as soon as he does,
which is expected to occur in a few
days, Bob Tarleton, local first sacker,
is to be given his unconditional re
lease.
Tarleton joined the Billikens this
spring when Dobbs needed ball play
ers, and has been going fairly well.
Kutina. however, in Dobbs' position,
is a better man than Tarleton and be
cause of this Bob will have to go else
where.
Tarleton has been slated for his re
lease for several weeks. Refusal of
Hornhorst to report forced Dobbs to
keep Bob, but all hope for his job
is now given up, due to Kutina notify
ing the Billiken leader he will report

DIAMOND ItRANI) PILLS, for 86
f years known as Best, Safest, Always Reliable
SOLO BY DRUGGISTS EVERYWHFPG
A PPROPRIATE words of regret
have long since been prepared.
For years the historians of
baseball have been ready to sound
the death knell over the baseball ca
reer of the great Frenchman, Napo-
ton Lajoie.
For years scribes and fans have
watched with keen practiced eyes for
the first, signs of that slipping which
marl:s the beginning of the end of
the career of ail grdat itien of the di£u-
mond.
In their eagerness to be the first to
sqund .the warning §Q$e have occa
sionally mentioned * that TLilrfy
doesn’t go* as far to get ’em as he
used to.”
Some enthusiastic scribes have
written volumes when he fanned, tak
ing the opportunity to note that at
last they had seen a flaw in his mar
velous batting eye.
A “Veteran” 10 Years Ago.
Ten years ago he earned the title
of “veteran.” They called him the
wonderful Larry, the greatest bats
man who ever lived. A short time
later they began' to call him the "old
veteran.’ They marked the passing
of each season with the notation that
Larry was getting close to his finish.
They began to utter regrets that
baseball must soon lose one of its
brightest lights. They made much
of the fact that most diamond stars
lose their luster after passing the
tenth year and almost invariably are
forced to retire before or in the
neighborhood of their fifteenth year.
Each injury which forced his tem
porary withdrawal from the game
caused a. quiver of fear to trickle
through the nation lest the injury
should result in his permanent re
tirement.
With the rise to fame of the noble
little Trojan Johnny Evers; the sen
sational young Eddie Collins, and the
dashing Capt. Larry Doyle, of the
Giants, admirers of those gentlemen,
in their enthusiasm over favorites,
have been wont to refer to Larry as
“the great Frenchman who was.”
Looks Better Than Ever.
Now what a change there has been
Those sentiments, expressions, and
opinions have been buried with the
past. Piled high as a sarcastic mon
ument above them now stands a ser
ies of performances since the open
ing of the campaign of 1913 which
makes the name and glory of Napo
leon Lajoie sparkle and glisten as it
has not in many years.
Not that his work has ever seri
ously retrograded, but rather that he
is consistently demonstrating that as
a ball player he is as great as if not
greater than he ever was before, and
that to-day, just as ten years ago.
he is sole possessor of the title of
“The greatest second baseman of the
past or present.”
Eighteen years ago Larry flashed
over the baseball horizon to bo term
ed the marvel of the sport. Sensa
tional plays by him both in the field
and at the bat were chronicled with
regularity. From the moment of his
baptism in the National League he
was one of its most prominent, . ac
tors.
His feat; of recent dates are so
thoroughly engraved on the minds of
the fan army that it is scarcely nec
essary to recall them at this time.
Only o few days ago a sensational
stop by him enabled Fred Blanding
to shut out, Detroit. Only the day
before that was his fielding one of
the brightest features of another vic
tory over Detroit. *
And they said he was “going back.”

T HE baseball park was crowded on a lo r ely summer day
V'ith rooters young and full of life, and rooters old and gray
This was no plain steel structure like the stadiums of old:
The bleachers were of silver and the stands were solid gold.
The neanut venders moved about with grandeur and disdain
Bedecked as Spanish pages in the days of Philip’s reign.
The bat bgy’s silver spangles shone resplendent in the sun
Groundkeeper Murphy’s raiment was the best that could be spun
The press box in the grandstand, with its busy telephones.
Was built of purest marble, studded thick with precious stone?
The people sat enraptured, no one caring to go home,
Feasting their eyes on splendor like the pomp of ancient Rome
The umpire, in a diadem of rubies and of pearls,
Removed it for a moment from his # richly perfumed curis
And this is what he had to say
Upon that lovely summer day:
“Cobb has gone to Europe
In his aeroplane;
Wagner’s down on Wall Street
Cornering all the grain.
iMTatty’s loaning money
To Rockefeller’s firm,
McGraw has launched his navy
To make the English squirm
Larry Doyle went with him
And bath remarked to me
They might be back this winter
As soon as Ireland’s free,
Don’t blame the athletes, people!
They’re all too rich to play.
Get back your tenspots at the gate—
There’ll be no game to-day!”

JAKE STAHL TO BE BENCH ,
MANAGER NEXT SEASON
BOSTON, May 5.—Jake Stahl, man
ager of the Boston Red Sox. will be a
bench manager after this season and
will surrender the guardianship of
the initial sack as soon as he can
find a suitable successor, according to
a report m circulation yesterday in
the Red Sox camp. Neither Engle
nor Janverin fit in with Stahl’s idea
of a first baseman, and it is said he
is willing to turn over three or four
players for a star first baseman if one
is on the market.
MATTY.
He is told and decrepit and lame;
You can tell by the droop in his frame,
You can tell by his sigh
And the woe in his eye
As he wins a thirteen-inning game.
He is weary and feeble and. weak,
And his elbows and vertebrae squeak;
You can tell he's a joke
By the volumes of smoke
the ball whizzes by like a streak.
He is Irrokrn and haggard and sore,
And he cannot pr<tducc any more;
You can tell he's a cinch
When he works in a pinch
And prevents them from tj/ing the
score.
He is aged and. crusty and grim :
Be has lost all his pepper and vim.
Said McGraw with a sigh:
”Z would give my right eye
For a fete more old cripples like him.”
It must be admitted that Mr. Elber-
feld's athletes play a consistent game. In
fact, they are the most consistent losers
In the Southern League.
It behooves Tyrus Cobb to pay strict
attention to his knitting this year. Ping
Bodie has developed so much speed that
lie can stretch a home run wallop into a
two-bagger.
Reporfs from the Far West indicate
that Messrs. Kilbane and Dundee have
split fifty-fifty on the featherweight
split
title.
Joe Tinker, who was presented with a
suitcase by his admiring friends, may
need it when Garry Hermann sends him
on his way.
THEM UNIFORMS.
An umpire faced an athlete grim
And spoke these burning words to
him:
“Strike, if you will, you horrid brute.
But do not soil my ice cream suit!”
Speaking of uniforms for umpires, the
most appropriate would be one of black
and white stripes, running crosswise.
In view of the fact that he had the
approbation so to speak, of James J.
Corbett. Johnny Kilbane did exceedingly
well to get an even break.
Speaking of omens, this is Christy
Mathewson’s thirteenth year in the Na
tional League. When he pitches, it is
considered an unlucky sign for the other
team.
Norman Elberfeld is beginning to real
ize that a manager can not win a pen
nant unless he is aided and abetted by
a baseball team.
Walter .Johnson arises to remark that
he will not play next year for less than
$10,000. This constitutes the world’s
record for long-distance holdouts.
As for hunger strikes. Mr*. Pank-
hurst has nothing on the male citizen
who lingers until the finish of a Southern
League game.
HERO WORSHIP.
He may have been a wonder yes
terday ;
He may have hammered many a
healthy clout.
But when his batting eye goes wrong
they say:
“Aw, take him out!”
He may have been a Walsh in days
gone, by
And heaved the hall with many a
curve and crook,
But when his stuff goes wrong they
up and cry:
“Aw, get the hook!”
The baseball rooters know no yes
terday.
To them the past is always dark
and dim,
And when a hvfo falls they laugh
and say :
“The bush for him !”
“RUBE” WADDELL SAYS HE
1S THROUGH WITH GAME
MINNEAPOLIS, May 5.—George
Edward (“Rube”) Waddell is through
with baseball forever, so he declares
to-day. He had been turned over to
the Northern League club here by the
Minneapolis American Association
club, after a long illness. He pitched
one good game for the bush leaguers,
but Saturday turned in his uniform
and declared that he was through.
“I’ve been in the business for fif
teen years.” said the once great twirl-
er, “and I guess I’ll quit. 1 may pitch
a game occasionally for an independ
ent team, but that will be all. I’ll
make my living some other way.”
NAVY FIVE ELECTS CAPTAIN
ANNAPOLIS, MD, May 5.—Clar
ence J. McReavey, of the State of
Washington, was yesterday named as
captain of the Naval Academy basket
ball team. He is the center of the
five.
EDDIE FOSTER STILL ILL.
WASHINGTON, May 5.—No change
has been noted in the condition of
Eddie Foster, the Nationals third
baseman, who is ill at Georgetown
Hospital with typhoid fever.
CROSS AND TRENDALL SIGN.
ST. LOUIS, MO., May 5.—Leach
Cross, of New York, and Harry Tren-
dall. of St. IxMiie, signed articles yes
terday to fight eight rounds here May
8 at 136 pounds.
LIPPE TO TIKE
YANKEE BOXERS
MliTWJirr
COLUMN-
Bv Ed. TV. Smith.
C HICAGO, May 5.—Unmindful of
the numerous warnings by
American fighters and figh'
managers who have tried the Austra
lian boxing game and found it sadlj
wanting in many respects. A1 Lippe
is going to give it a whirl with a cou
ple of Yankee stars. And in the face
of all that has gone nefore, Lippe
must be sat down as one of the gum-
ost and most courageous of all to
make a trip of that character and
length in search of the fleeting and
floating dollar or Bank of England
note, as the cape may be. Lippe is
going to take Jeff Smith, a corking
good middleweight, and Frank
Loughrey, a speedy lightweight, to
the “land down under,” as the Eng
lish. call Australia. They are booked
to sail from San Francisco June 3.
* * *
Y\7 E take it that Lippe has his
vv round trips and a snug sum of
expense money stowed away in his
fashionable jeans, else he would be
the muttlest of mutts to undertake
the journey. Every returning pilgrim
from Australia smiles a knowing
smile and advises against anyboiy
else making the journey. Joe Wood
man, Sam Langford’*' manager, was
compelled to sue for $12,000 that he
had coming to him over there and the
defendants got so many continuances
and delays that Joe apparently is
about to pass un the whole thing and
quit cold—incidentally without his
money. That is merely a sample of
the treatment that has been accorded
American fighters and their managers
over there.
T IPPE would like lo show his two
stars around Chicago before he
leaves for California to board the
steamer. He says that Smith can
make 152 pounds in a pinch, but that
he will meet any of them right up to
158, and would prefer a match with
Eddie McGoorty because he regards
the Oshkosh man as the real cham
pion of the county. Loughrey is cred
ited with victories over Bat Nelson,
Young Erne, Dave Deshler and most
of the good boys of the East. He is
a bit oversized for an American light
weight, his lowest poundage beitig
138. But he will fit in beautifully
In Australia, where lightweights at 1
just as apt to be thrown Into the pi*
with middies and feathers with welt
ers, etc. Note the case of Rudy Un-
holz. the Denver lightweight, who
fought in every class above his own
during his trip to the Antipodes.
JORDAN SIGNS TO PLAY
UTILITY FOR CRACKERS
MOBILE. ALA.. May 6.—A Otto
Jordan, the oldest player in the
Southern League in point of continu
ous service, and in his day the great
est second baseman the Southern
League ever saw, has been signed to
play utility roles with the Atlanta
club.
He will probably join the team to
day.
Jordan played for years under Billy
Smith as field captain, and the At
lanta manager believes that Otto will
be worth his pay as his personal rep
resentative on the coaching lines.
JOE THOMAS AND WHITE
REMATCHED FOR MAY 19
CHICAGO, May 6.—Charlie White,
local scrapper, who recently knocked
out Joe Thomas, of tfew Orleans, in
that city in eight rounds and who
meets him again at New Orleans on
May 19, to-day started training at
Nate Lewis’ gym to fit himself for
another knockout victory.
White hopes to get on with Fred
die Welsh, Johnny Dundee, Leach
Cross or some of the other top-notch-
ers.

F ORTY FOUR years ago the tirsi professional ball club in the
world was organized. It was the famous Cincinnati Reds,
the pioneer paid baseball club, in whose existence the great
national game, as it exists to-day, bad its inception.
In 1869 this club played through the entire season, from March
15 till November 15, anil never lost a game. It finished the season
with a standing of 1,000. Its,pay-roll for the year, including every
cent that went to the players in salaries, was $9,500.
There were ten players on the club, 1
of which one was o pitcher, Asa
Biainard, and another was a substi
tute. The average salary per player
was lees than a thousand dollars, or,
to be exact, $950. The highest paid
man was George Wright, who got $1,-
400, the shortstop. Captain Harry
Wright, pulled down $1,200 for his
shore. The pitcher, who went
through the season with a clean rec
ord, got $1,100.
And last year Hans Wagner pulled
down a cool $10,000 for galloping
around somewhere between second
and third, punishing the pill and run
ning bases.
Some difference, what!
Tyrus Cobb got $9,000 last season,
and Is said'to be drawing $12,500 this
season.
* * *
LJTRKING back, the payroll of that
A 1 little old club In the ’60s that went
clear through without sustaining a
defeat looks picayunish, doesn’t it?
And those fellows played ball in a
different way than it is played to
day. They didn’t have gloves,
masks, shoes, protectors and the
thousand and one things that the
modern diamond star has to guard
himself with. The games were riots.
When there was no blood shed the
fans demanded their money back.
Here’s the salary list of the first
professional ball club, taken red-hot
from the .ledger of the treasurer:
Harry Wright, Captain $1,200
George Wright, shortsrop .... f 1.400
Asa Brainard, pitcher 1,100
Fred Waterman, third base ... 1,000
Charles Sweasy, second base .. 800

rjNCH upon a time there was a
^ black-dnd-tan mauf-swinger nam
ed .Steve who took up the light and
remunerative work of editing a boot-
black stand and was doing fairly well
at it until a fight promoter got n
slant at his biceps and lured him
away.
Steve was generously designed as
to beam and water-line length, but
all of his bigness was on the outside.
His soul never roared above shoe-
shining. If violently shaken his 1
heart rattled around inside him like
a navy bean in a wash boiler, but his
manager did not take the precaution
of shaking him before he tied him to
a pair >f gloves and pushed him into
the ring against a lad whose middle
name was Miagkt
Up to this moment the manager be
lieved that he had a meal ticket in
Steve and up to this minute Steve
knew that he had a meal ticket in
Ids manager. But the first time the
unsmoked meat eater in the opposite
corner came out and poked Steve
generally about the mush, he hastily
climbed through the ropes.
“What's the mat’er?” yelled the
manager, rushing toward him and
motioning him back. “Ain’t you gonna
fight any more?”
“Yes,” replied Steve, deliberately,
slipping on the new bath robe his
manager had bought him, “but not
any more to-night ”

Umpires are human, poor devils. They

In civilized cities they have stooped,

Joe Tinker goes so far as to admit
that the Cubs have a chance for the

that the team didn’t really train in the
