N ashville, tknn., May 30.—
The smart clip at which the
Vols have been traveling since
they commenced their month’® stay In
the Dell has started the pennant bee
to bussing again among the fickle
bugs in Voltown, who are ready to
reclaim the Pchwartzmen the class
of the league.
The yelping for a brace of depend
able twirl era to take some of the
work off Beck and Williams 1*
on again, for this pair is about all the
Vols can rely on for regular box duty.
Hirslg insists that Chick Smith will
blow In any moment, but the stuff
about the sputhpaw’s reporting Is get
ting to be like the boy who hoHcfed
"wolf so often.
Vols Secure Dy«.
Schwartz has landed a portsider
named Pve. 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 dubs. This Dye carries with him
a record as a bad performer, and Bill
has an idea that, with a new system
lie is applying, he can keep the
Canton hoy from flirting with the
white lights. Bill ha® shaken off a
lot of the kind words stuff, and when
one of his hired men doesn’t act to
suit him, said athlete’H pay envelope
is promptly contlacated and tho bhd
actor gets only enough to settle his
< hewMng 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 ll merely a kid he is a wise little
hall player. One great beauty about
him is nis ability to bat either right
or left handed, according to the wing
used by the opposing pitcher, and he
has he« n driving the pill all over the
lot Gibby will he kept in the guino
as long ax he puts up his present
brand of ball, for Bchwartz 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
JEtaJey allowed to sttfy 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
show bis wares until the Vols hit a
slump. No one, himHelf included,
seems to know r just what ia the mat
ter with Daley, for kfter 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 fat
enough.
* Nicholson Another Bay.
Nicholson's work in practice stamps
him as another Harry Bay, for he is
as fast as chain lightning and makes
hard catches look easy. With thV
ash, ’he has done little to call out
scouts from the majors. Schwartz
sent him in against Memphis as
a piuch hitter; and possibly It
was due to his overunxiety to break
in vfith 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
wonderfui improvement or slip com
pletely back, and somebody will have
to plug up the hole in left. As for
that matter, Del Young, the (Meve-
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 Marvel.
Dave Canadian in center lias made]
the bugs forget all about Harry Wei-'
chonce, for in Gaily, 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.

N EW YORK, May MO. The American League has offered several surprises as a result of
the tirst engagement iietweeti Hie Western teams and the Eastern teams. The Athletics

strongest teams with great ease. The Yankees had failed to win a single game at home,

CHICAGO, May 30,—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 the team in general as he did
for several other teams in the Na
tional League. This statement fol-
own closely upon our refusal to
purchase insurance from Mr.
Mathewson as 1 told him that any
insurance that we had to give would
go to Chicago men.”

thing thus?”
