1 THE ATLANTA OEOPGTAN AND NEWS, N ASHVILLE, TENN., May 30.— The smart clip at which the Vols have been traveling since they commenced their month’s stay In the Dell has started the pennant bee to buzzing Again among the flcklc bugs In Voltown, who are ready to acclaim the Schwartzmen the class of the league. The yelping for a brace of depend able twirlers to take some of the work off Beck and Williams Is on again, for this pair 1s about all the Vols can rely on for regular box duty. Hlrslg Insists that Chick Smith will blow In any moment, but the stuff about the southpaw's reporting Is get ting to be like the boy who hollered '•wolf" so often. Vols Secure Dye. Schwartz has landed a portslder named Dye. whose work with Canton last season greatly Impressed the boy manager, since he won 17 and lost 15 with a tall end team In a league of 14 clubs. This Dye carries with him a record as a bad performer, and Bill has an Idea that, with a new system he is applying, he can keep the Canton boy from flirting with the white lights. BUI has shaken off a lot of the kind words stuff, and when one of his hired men doesn’t act to suit him, said athlete’s pay envelope Is promptly confiscated and tho bad actor gets only enough to settle his chewing tobacco account. Whether Mr. Dye will fall for this kind of punishment Is another tale which must be related at another time. Gibson Surprises Fan*. Frank Gibson, the ex-Tiger back stop, has set the bugs nutty with his flashy work behind the plate, for he Is Jammed full of ginger, and although he Is merely a kid he is a wise little ball player. One great beauty about him is nla ability to bat either right or left handed, according to the wing used by the opposing pitcher, and he has been driving the pill all over the lot. Glbby will be kept in the game as long as he puts up his present brand of ball, for Schwartz Is a su perstitious manager and claims he will not break up the present winning combination. Daley a Disappointment. It Is for that same reason that Jud Daley 1s allowed to stay In left field, for Jud Is certainly giving a weird exhibition of left fielding, and al though the Vols have Just bought outfielder Nicholson from Louisville, the ex-Colonel won’t get a chance to chow his wares until the Vols hit a slump. No one, himself Included, eeerfis to know Just what Is the mat ter with Daley, for after getting a flying start in the spring practice he has not only failed to find his batting eye but is displaying miserable Judg ment on fly balls, several games hav ing gone to the enemy when he over ran a hit or failed to run back far enough. Nicholson Another Bay. Nicholson’s work in practice atamps him as another Harry Bay, for he 1* as fast as chain lightning and makes hard catches look easy. With the ash, he has done little to call out scouts from the majors. Schwartz sent him 1n Against Memphis as a pinch hitter; and possibly it was due to his overanxlety to break in with a bang, but he handled him self at the plate in a very unimpres sive manner, almost breaking his back on three wide ones. It won’t hurt however, to keep him around, for as sure as death and taxes, Daley will either soon show a wonderful Improvement or slip com pletely back, and somebody will have to plug up the hole In left. As for that matter, Del Young, the Cleve land grocery clerk, Is still completely mystified by the dump In right field and has gazed dumbly at some drives a faster man could have pulled down. Callahan a Marvol. Dave Callahan In center has made thA bug* forget all about Harry \\ <1 chonce, for in Cally, Schwartz has found the Ideal lead-off man, who manages to get on in one way or an other Give Schwartz two more fin ished pitchers and he will have one of the best all around offensive and defensive clubs In the circuit.

WASHINGTON, May 80.—President Wilson attended the game at Ameri can League baseball park yesterday. A wonderful magazine given FREE with every copy of th« next Sunday American. N EW YORK, May 30.—The American League has offered several surprises as a result of the first engagement between the Western teams and the Eastern teams. The Athletics had raced through the East In the early season, heating what were rated to be the strongest teams with great ease. The Yankees had failed to win a single game at home, and everybody thought the club would drop out of the league when it got so far West as Cleveland, where Birmingham’s boys were rumbling along at a great rate. But the New York team crossed the critics and made an excellent showing In the West, only slightly worse than that displayed by the Athletics. Five clubs have an outside chance in the contention In the American League. They are Philadelphia, Washington. Boston, Cleveland and Chicago. Cleveland has been the Brooklyn of the American league, sur prising all the prophets. T HE Athletics still lack good pitch ing, and It was this deficiency which caused them to have a rather disastrous trip In the West Outside of their pitching staff, they are far and away the very best chib In the league. They should win the pennant, and w T Ul take lots of games in the long home string of battles scheduled for Shlbe Pnrk now. The pitching staff will buck up In the next month, too, because Coombs should return to the game, as he Is rapidly recovering from his Illness. Plank is nearly in vincible, and Bender is much better than be was last season. • • • I T was predicted when “®d” Walsh took to the bench that the Chi cago White Sox would take tx> the hushes, but It has not been so. Calla han's team lias been Winning ball games without Walsh. Russell, Benz and Scott hare all been going well In the box. White Sox have always been a good road club. With Walsh again In form, I would not be at all sur prised to see them crowd the Wash ington team, which has been the big gest disappointment of the recognized pennant possibilities. Griffith has been handicapped some by Injuries and a good deal by the failure of Ills pitchers outside of Walter Johnson. It was a great surprise to the profes sion to see Johnson beaten last week. • • • T HERE Is a rumor In the National league now that Evers Intends to trade Zimmerman because of In ternal trouble on the Cubs, If he can get the right price for him. It Is no secret that Evers and Zimmerman have displayed little brotherly love so far. and several teams are after the great hitter. But Murphy wants a big price for him, to Is* paid iu players, and most of the bidders re fuse to give up the talent demanded. Zimmerman would be a great hall player for any club In the league where his temperament would fit in, but it requires a positive hand to guide him. He is very strong-willed. He would make a fine man for the Giants, because his hitting right new would help the team along to a large extent, hut it Is doubtful whether McGraw, since he would be strength ening a rival club for the pennant, unless he got half of the New York team In return. Zimmerman himself Is very anxious to come to the Giants, as his home and most of his friends are In the Bronx. He would also like the chance to cut In on the world’s series money, which all the Giants still be lieve they will do. • • • S EVERAL American T«ngne clubs are complaining about the atti tude of the Cleveland players on the PRESIDENT MURPHY PEEVED OVER MATTY’S STATEMENT CHICAGO, May *0.—Charles Webb Murphy, president of the Cubs, to day attacked Christy Mathewson, of the Giants, in a statement issued to the newspapers. Murphy says that Mathewson's statement regarding the merits of the Cubs’ pitching staff fol lowed closely Murphy's refusal to buy Insurance from Mathewson. Murphy says: "In a recent story bearing the name of Christy Mathewson It was stated that he did not have the same amount of respect for the Cub's pitching staff and ths team in general as he did for several other teams in the Na tional League. This statement fol- ■ vrg closely upon our refusal to purchase insurance from Mr. Mathewson as I told him that any Insurance that we had to give would go to Chicago men.” field. They refuse to speak to an opposing athlete except to insult him, and they are fighting all the time. Birmingham Insists on this, and it seems to have worked ont well with his dub. It was an old rule of Frank Chanoe’s when the Cubs were going great guns and fighting tooth and nail. Any time he found a Chicago man shaking hands or getting friend ly with an opponent the hand shaker was liable to a heavy fine. This, to my mind, is carrying the war a little too far.
