On Friday, which Is Federal Decora tion Day, a double header will be played, the first on local soil this son son. The Montgomery club does not ap pear to class with the Crackers in strength and ought to furnish no very vicious opposition. Surely with any luck at all the Crackers should win five out of the seven games slated. The following week the Crackers Jump out of town for games Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday and then back for three more here This Jumping stuff goes on until June Tl. •when the locals heat it into the South again for their second tough trip. • • • TF figures didn’t lie like "experts 1 the Tracker, would be leading the Southern Longue by a margin go wide as to be pitiful.

SMITH RECEIVED $2,880 FOR BOUT WITH WILLARD SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.—The gross receipts of the Gunboat Smith- Jess Willard fight last week were $8,000. Smith, the winner, pot $2,880, end Willard received $1,920. NOTICE! Closing-Out-Ends $7, $8, $9 Trousers Made- to-Measure FORDON PUBLICITY. "Thou Ahalt not speak" the magnate said, "to members of the press; And if thou hast a tale to tell, just let the lowbrows guess." The magnate la night himself a drink, and further more he spoke: "If it were not for baseball games, the papers would go broke. If it were not for baseball games, the gents whit jour nr g bg Would look upon the lines stands with a cold and careless rge. The ('roirds would never think to hug the extras on the street. MV baseball magnates help to keep the paper.* on their feet." When snow is on the baseball yard and baseball games are nil The baseball snilies are grinding dope and drawing shekels still. And if the scribes would shun the yards where baseball games are played. Said baseball magnates then would hare ti> seek an honest I rude. Mr. Murphey of the Cubs denies the report that he has forbidden his ath letes to speak to baseball scribes. Get ting in bad .and proving an alibi keeps Mr. Murphy busy approximately 24 hours p*r difm. When a magnate forbids his athletes to associate with newspaper men, there pro- is not likely to be any frenzied test among said newspaper men. Mr. Stovall has been fined, but If Mr. Ferguson had his way, Mr. Stovall would be sentenced to chew a sponge Instead of a chunk of tobacco. Pugilism and baseball both are af flicted with a malignant case of Too Much Johnson. Hob FitzsimmonK avers that he van inHke a regular champion out of Jess Willard, demonstrating that too great attention to sport affects the mind. Edmonton, which Is In British Colum bia, offers $26,000 for a conflict between Messrs. Ritchie and Welsh. All of which goes to show what an Intoxicating cli mate there is In Edmonton. Some time, when we have about 1.000 years to spare, we shall attempt to write a bock on what Jess Willard do©s not know about fighting. Quoth a boxing scribe: “In the first round Anderson fractured one of Man- dot's ribs, making Joes famous left uselesR.'' It must be comforting to tight a man when you know he cannot hit \ ou with his left rib Reading a number of Horace Fogel'e baseball magazine on* Is convinced that he was more bulled against than bull ing. A scientist tells us that 76 per cent of all human energy is wasted. Jess Wil lard's press agent beat that average by approximately 25 per cent. ~3BSSC— CHRISTY MATflEWSON'S B!G LIAGUl GOSSIP B OSTON, May 26.—Within the last week two pitching staffs which were counted upon to swing Into line at the lieginning of the seasoi have shown the form expected of them. The staffs belong to the Giants and Pirates, and from this point alone I predict that the race will settle down to a battle between the New York and Pittsburg clubs. They possess the two host batches of pitchers In the league now, with the possible exception of Philadelphia. Both Tesreau and Marquard have attained their last season's form for New York, and Hendrix and C'amnltz have resumed operations for the Pirates. Both teams have the natural Strength to win ball games behind good pitching, which neither the Philadelphia nor the Brooklyn clubs, now lead ing the league, possess. That Is the reason I figure oet that the Giants and Pirates will finally battle for the title. The Cubs, who made such a brave showing at the beginning of the season, hnve faded very badly on this Eastern trip because of the crumbling of their pitching staff. Following this string of defeats, the (flssenslon, which was RINGSIDE NEWS Champion Johnny Kilbane must not be I lay-off from the ring figured by the fight promoters of Cali fornia ns much of a drawing card out there Johnny is only receiving a guar antee of $1,000 and an additional $260 for training expenses to fight Jimmy j Kox at Frisco, on June 10. * « • Blink McCloskey. who was knocked out by Buck Crouse the other night. .

George Chip, to become the world's 1 champion, and furthermore he believes this will happen in the near future anticipated, has developed in the club. Kvers is up against a hard proposi tion iu Chicago now. So long as the Cubs were near the top. everything was rosy for him. as it is for any manager with a winning ball club. The fans were behind him. But now that the team has started to lost*, the followers of the game are beginning to criticise Murphy for let ting Chance go. They were prepared to do that at the opening of the race, but the unexpected winning streak of tlie rluh prevented tlie knockers from getting in their fine work. ♦ • • r rHK <'ulis at present are playing A below their normal speed, as they were traveling above it at the beginning of the sehedtile. They will pick tip some, htit I never expect to see them out In front leading the league rare again t hi A season. They have shot their bolt. They have not, the pitchers to stand the going which will be furnished hv the Philadelphia, Pittsburg and New York clubs from now on. , The Quakers are s(IU attracting at tention In the front, although I re garded the club ns a flash in the pan for a long time, and was * iirprised to see It hold up the pace for such a protracted period. I am now begin nlng to he convinced that the team has a chance to stick Itt the fight for the flag with the Giants and Pirates, which teams are bound to make the quarreling toward the end of the schedule. What has surprised most close fol lowers of baseball Is the fact that the Philadelphia club Is represented by practically the same men whose names appeared In the box scores last season, and therefore its start was not considered to be serious. There have been two angles from which the team has greatly Improved. One is the pitching staff, which has always possessed the latent strength, and the other is the speed, pepper and ag gressiveness added to the club that can lie attributed to the new condi Hons in the management. The Phila delphia team has a lot of fighters in the game who are always “crabbing.' and several of the players are very fast. Dooiu. now dial he is no longer bothered by Horace Fogel, can inject a little* of bis own ginger into the club and Instill the players with his own lighting spirit. K NABE, the second baseman, is a great fighter, never giving up any point without an argument, and I Ionian is anot her bur under the sad dle-flap to the umpires. He is also tt very nifty shortstop, perhaps more highly regarded by ball players than by spectators. He covers acres of ground, and is fast on his feet. He is also a very regular pinch-hitter, as I have had reason to realize from some personal experience. Robert has added strength to the team this sea son. because he is a vicious batter and is another “crabber.” The infield of Hie Phillies right now is a strong one. The outfield is likewise formidable witli Magee, Paskert and Cravath covering the territory. Paskert is one of the best territory- covering outfielders in the league, and is sure on fly and ground balls. He is not the hardest hitter in the world, but he is a good base runner, once lie does get on the bags. Magee's but ting ability is beyond question. He will break tip a ball game for you any lime if you give 'him half a chance. He can hit a ball as hard ns any man in tlie league, and. what is more, lie does this with amazing fre quency. He is what, is known in baseball as “a free-swinger.” and there are few men playing the same who can take a long wallop at the bnll and connect. The added 'dash to the team shows FODDER FOR FANS the Cubs are trying to buy Rube Bchauer of the Superior, Wis. Club. * « * Clark Griffith Is sore. Tloc Johnson called him names at Cleveland the other day and when he called some hack the umpire put Griff out and let "Doc" stay in. * * * Griff, by the way, is using the um pires as his stock alibi these days, w-hich deceives nobody. * * * Ban Johnson has ordered his umpires not to allow Altrock to pitch for the Washington Club. Griff savs he will send lilm in soon. When he does some umpire will have to forfeit a game against him. Then Johnson will be forced to fine Griffith .$1,000. "Then says he’ll have to collect the thousand," Griff. "Fine chance." itself on the bases, and the players tire running tlie sacks with the best teams in tlie league, taking all kinds of chances and frequently upsetting their opponents by these tactics. The pitching staff at present is one of the three strongest in the league. It is hard to say which one will show up to be Hit* liesl finally, as time alone can tell that—time and a couple of long, hard swings around (he West ern circuit away from home grounds and sympathetic crowds. The Phila delphia club may go through a sea son such as was greatly enjoyed by the Boston Americans last year when they buzzed out the schedule to a pennant with hardly an injury. * * * 'THE lack of experienced substitutes J is Dooin’s big weakness. If a couple of itis regulars get bunged tip and out of the game, he won't have anybody who can properly till their places. It was this shortage of good substitute material whirl) caused tlie club to collapse so badly last season. But should the (earn hold together as it stands to-day, it is going to make it Interesting for any aggregation that is in the fight for the pennant. Par ticularly will it be hard to overtake the Philadelphia team if luck pur sues it persistently, ns it sometimes does a club after it has deserted it j entirely for a couple of seasons. The l Quakers, it must lie remembered, are getting out farther ahead all the time and will have a chance to drop back. All that the Giants and Pittsburg! teams can work at for the present ' is catching tip. and if somebody does j not stop the Phillies soon, they will both have a man's sized job on their I hands to complete before September. 1 (Copyright, 1913. by the McClure News paper Syndicate.)
