The new manager for the Turtles
wrought Chick to Nashville from the
Pirate? and It was due in a great
measure to his grand twirling during
that gruelling campaign with the
Pelicans that enabled the Volf
flash under the wire ahead.
It would be a strange prank of
Fate did the season which'fent Case
to Montgomery allow history to re
peat Itself and give the gonfalon to
the Schw artzmen.
It must be admitted that the Vols
are displaying a bunch of nerve In
harping on pennants with 1heir box-
men doddering along and being blis-
ered with wallops day after day, but
if Schwartz ever should be able to
gather a quintet of steady hurlers
It would be hard to figure his crew
among the flag contenders.
To the naked eye the advantage
gained by either Nashville or Mont
gomery In the trade of Case for Pig
gy Paige is not visible. Charlie is
on his way, and has travelled a good
distance toward the other end, while
Paige is about through. Either will
have to travel quite a bit before they
meet a first-class twirler corning out. I

Case would have preferred to land ■
with the Turtles and it would no j
doubt have been better for him. for:
he and Bernhard are great pals ami j
Big Bill certainly did inject in some
mysterious manner into Doc Sea-
bough new life when he looked to
be do.wn for the count.
Fleharty is the only veteran re
maining for slab duty and the bean-
ball artist has not proved of any great I
value to the club so far. If Schwartz I
can land a high-grade mound
artist. Ear! will be invited to visit
hie home folks. But the Vols are
having a tough time landing depend
able flingers, having already hired and
flred a list of alleged pitchers as
long as the delinquent tax roll.
The Reds continue to hang on to j
Chick Smith, although they have sold
this southpaw to the Vols. and, despite j
the gaping holes in the wlab # corps.

stuff considerably since a number of'
the Southern League Clubs this sea- j

the bunch being the Vols themselves,
for any left-hander who waves his j
glove in the fares of the Sohwartz-
men has them beat to a frazzle.

OS ANGELES. CAL., May 19.—
The fight that he will make
against Joe Mandot next Tues
day night will either “makp or break”
Young Bud Anderson. The Medford
hoy will either leave the ring as one
of the best lightweight cards in the
onspicuous of | country or an exploded “comer” with
nothing better than second grade
dates in store for him.
Anderson and Mandot are matched
to box twenty rounds before the Pa
cific Athletic Club at Vernon on
Tuesday night. The weight Is 133
pounds at 6 o’clock. There Is no
choice In the betting, which is at ever,
money.*
Just as Joe Rivers began an un
known and fought himself into a fo!-
zied when lie turned down Rudy
Summers, on account of‘the boy’sMowing of thousands, so Anderson Is

league afire for the Lookouts, era cl
ing George Beck’s winning streak
to say nothing of busting up the
Gulls' long string. Schwartz had
the dope of Rudy all wrong, for be
figured he couldn't last in this cli
mate another season, for the little
fellow was always on the sick list
while with the Vols. Surely a
grand pitcher for a boy billed to the
undertakers
Williams Going Immense.
The .sudden return to form of Lefty
Williams and his feat of defeating
the fast going Gulls twice in three
days, one game running for eleven
Innings with onU one scratch hit off
his delivery, is the most encouraging
happening of the present road trip.
The Springfield. Mu., boy stood a
great chance of finding a pink paper
in bis mail just when he began to
deliver the goods. He crowded
right up into the select circle that so
far ha* been monopolized by Beck,
for whom the Reds offered 7,500 reg
ular dollars and Reuben Renton Of
Course the Vols* treasury is too small
to accommodate such a swarm of
dollars and there is no place on the
team for Benton. Of course not.
Time enough when the season is
over to turn this trick and Beck will
b^ worth ju-l as much then as lie
would bring now if he keeps up bis
brilliant work, and there is little
chance of bis going the draft route
for too many of the majors will be
after him for that to happen. The
quickest way for Hirsig to wreck
baseball in Nashville would be to
dispose of Beck, and Hirsig is too
much interested in collecting the eggs
to investigate the anatomy of the
goose It's a great temptation, ad
mitted. but the goes* eats entirely
too utile to warrant any undue cu-
win decisively over Mandot, a match
between Bud and the Mexican would
necessitate the enlarging of the arena
building.
Bud’s Best Punch Left Hook.
Manager Dick Donald made an in
teresting talk to-day concerning the
chances of Ills protege.
‘‘Anderson's best punch is his. left
hook.” said Donald. "He had little or
no chance to use this blow against
Brow n, as 'Kayo' fights with his right
hand* extended. We realize that Man-
dot is a fast and clever boxer. Were
we foolish enough to try to outbox
him, we probably would bo outpointed
In every round. What we intend to
do is to keep on top of Mandot and
make him tight every Inch of the wav.
I am as sure that Bud will stop Joe
inside the limit as I am that 1 am
standing here.”
Mandot, working at Venice, lias
trained faithfully. Joe figure# that
Anderson has been greatly overesti
mated and takes it for granted that
he will have nn easy time of it with
the Oregon youth.
Mandot’s Manager Confident.
“We know exactly where we stand
in tills affair.” said Manager Tommy
Walsh. Monday. We have been
brought out here to act as a trial
horse. We art' willing to be called
a trial horse so long as it gets us the
money. Mandot is a more scientific
man, is a better ring general, and has
had much more experience than An
derson. He w ill make this young chan
look like a booh.
We figure, though, that by stoo
ping a young fellow like this boy that
Joe will he in line for another crack
at Rivers. We are easy to do busi
ness with. Wednesday morning wnl

either Rivers. Ritchie, Welsh, Dross
or Murphy.”

I0VV YORK, May li>. The race in the National League so far this season has
been the most unsettled one F have seen since I came into the big league. The going
of the first three clubs in the American League has been steadier and more according
to the dope. The National League has been crowded with upsets and surprises.
Of the two teams that were leading the National League through the first weeks of the
race, one Is holding up, but none too strongly, and the other has wilted. The Cubs and Phila
delphia made the early going, and the. Phillies spent last week struggling to keep ahead of
the plunging Brooklyn boys. The Chicago club has cracked badly since invading the East, and I cannot see it
as a pennant contender. It looks like a bad road club, and the traveling ability of the old Chicago machines
was what won the pennants for them.
• * •
HE percentage table is still all
tangled up, and the teams have
shown little inclination to straighten
themselves out in the order it was
expected they would before the seasoli
opened. The (Hants were tile only
rated contenders who approached
their natural form last week. The
New York club bucked up consider
ably and settled to something like its
normal stride, although it is still very
unsteady in the field.
Mctiraw, fighting the old over-confi
dence which was holding the team
down, tore (lie club apart and shook
up Ills batting order until it now
looks as if he had found a strong
combination. By sticking Shafer in
center field he has propped up the
club In the hitting department, and
seems to have slipped a plug in the
right place. Shafer has been batting
as bard as anybody on the team this
season, and is playing wonderful hull.
HE pitehers are returning to
form. Tesreau showed some of
his last season’s stuff in a game
against the Cubs last week, when he
delivered the tiest battle he has pitch
ed so far this season. Demaree is a
great addition to the staff, but lias
i>een working in very hard luck so
far, giving few hits and losing many
games through bad support. Mar-
quard is not himself yet, but he has
hardly recovered entirely from weak
ness following tile attack of tonsilitis.
Naturally, I cannot see any club
but the (Hants for the pennant. I
know we have the stuff there, and
the team is Vietter this year than last.
The aggregations we have to beat to
get into first place now are the Brook
lyn and Philadelphia clubs, and it
does not strike me that either one
can hold up through a gruelling race.
They should cause us little worry.
Brooklyn has liecn playing great ball,
the dashing, irresistible, winning
sort, but it is not a pennant team.
* * #
P ERSONALLY, T still have faith in
the Pittsburg club. I appreciate
that 1 am in the small minority, even
many of the Pittsburg fans having
deserted the ship after the team had
lost seven straight games in the East,
four of these going to Boston. Hav
ing played against the Pirates. I
know them for battlers. They are
like the Giants. They have not got
going, but their poor start has
brought no tears of sorrow to our
eyes, because it is generally realized
among us how they are liable to fin
ish. The team is playing bad ball,
but it is only necessary to read over
the list of the names of the men asso
ciated with the Pittsburg movement
to realize it will play better hall very
shortly.

of a humorist in a young man who
boxed in a preliminary at a local
club a few weeks back. His oppo
nent was pounding his face with great
skill and accuracy, and when he re
turned to his corner his second
growled:
"Stop some o’ them—stop some
o’ them!”
“Stop ’em!” retorted the fighter,
indignantly. "You don't see any of
’em get tin’ by, do you ?”
Out of the South the wild news
eame:
“The Crockers win another game."
rpHB promoters of the boxing con-
j tests to be staged at the Audi
torium-Armory June 9 have
now clinched two erackerjack ten-
round bouts. In the main event Jim
Flynn will hook up with Jim Savage.
In the semi-windup Mike Saul and
Terry Nelson will travel over a sched
uled ten-round route. There is still
one other ten-round scrap to be ar
ranged.
It is likely that Spider Britt and
Meyer Pries will be selected to meet
in the other ten-rounder. These lads
always put up a corking battle when
pitted against each other. They have
met a half dozen times and the resuit
has always been doubtful. In a ten-,
round mill it’s a cinch that one or the
other will have earned a big enough
lead to give him the decision.
Kid Young also wants to get on.
But there is nobody around this neck
of the woods who is of his weight
and at the same time in his class.
It may be just possible, however
that in case Britt and Plies can't
agree on weight, terms; etc., that some
topnotch boy will be imported to meet
Young.

cated at 140 West Tenth Street, a
locomotive engineer for a contract
or. Mr. C. A. Daley, very conven
ient for any person to call who may
wish to investigate his remarkable
results from the use of Quaker
. Herb Extract, particulars of which
: i are given herewith. For over three
years he had been suffering from
catarrh of the bowels and his ap
pendix. When he arose in the morn
ing he was more tired than when
he went to bed. His limbs ached.
He would cough up great chunks of
mucus. After eating his meals he
would be in misery for hours, and
some things would not agree with
him at all. Headaches w r ere a com
mon occurrence,* and continuous
pains in the appendix. His breath
was simply awful and his tongue
continuously coated.
During the time that this man
was afflicted he used many reme
dies. tried various physicians, but
somehow they never seemed to do
any good ir. his case Altogether
he was in a pitiable condition.
Many a day he was plying his vo
cation w hen he really should have
been in bed. But weak and sick as
he was, he had too much will power
to give up.
Mr. Smedley went to Coursey &
Munn’s drug store to explain his
case, and, after doing so, was ad
vised a treatment of the Quaker
Herb Extract, which was bought by
him. and used faithfully according
to instructions. He * again re
turned to the drug store and said:
"I came back to get three more bot
tles of the wonderful Quaker Herb
Extract. Since I used it T have
found that my appetite is good and
I am much stronger. I can get
about better than I ever could: my
troubles have disappeared, and 1
telling all my neighbors and friends.
I had begun to think that there was
no cure for my troubles, but I know-
now that I am on the right road to
health.**
If you are a sufferer from catarrh
in any form, stomach trouble of
any description, kidney, liver, rheu
matism or blood troubles, you are
the one to call at Coursey & Munn’s
drug store and obtain Quaker Herb
Extract, fi for $5. 3 for $2.50; $1 a
