HU I L N 2N rT\ii ) '—y±\ By O. B. Keeler. \ ND It isn’t all flowery beds of A ease for the manager of a baseball club, even when the hands* are going well and the breaks* are breaking properly, and the games are piling up in the ”W” column, and all ♦hat. Sometimes, you see, one of the hands may be going almost too veil That i». if he has a string to him There is Carl Thompson, with tin* Crackers. And there is K. Leroy Chance, sometime Peerless Leader. Carl ip here, and F. chance is there. But between them is the string. Carl is stacking up a pretty heap of workmanlike games. Th P. L. is watching his alleged slab- men ease off point after point In the percentage column. And so—getting to the tie that binds—one Major Frank Callaway tosses restlessly these sultry nights, by reason of something apart from the sultriness. Claiming season is drawing close. “And,” says Major Frank, “I’m ju-t hoping F. Chance will he looking the other way when the date comes ’round.” Because, you see, Carl Thompson belongs to the Highlanders. And he is looking more and more as if he could sand the skids under that luck less aggregation, which appears be yond the present capacity of Russell Ford, Ray Caldwell, et al. Of course, it might he considered something of a joke on Carl if he should be dragged back to the Yanks at this time. But that ball club is likely to take a turn for the better one of these days—and the laugh might be the other way ’round. * • • A ND that Isn’t all. **•* “(’lark Griffith is mighty npi to take hold of Gilbert Price.” Major Callaway remarked Saturday. “H«’h Just the style the Old Fox likes to grab while in its comparative infancy and train according to his own ideas.” After which the president of the Crackers intimated that the Hon Griffith had quite some ideas as t<> th<* care and rearing of youthful slab men. “Griff’s pretty hard to work for; that is, for an opinionated young ster,” he added. “I doubt if ever there was a wise r old noodle tancked over a pitching shoulder than that owned by the Old Fox. He was a great pitcher himself and he knows it. So the kid who tries to tell Griff something new about the slab game is due to hear something not alto gether to his advantage.” • • • THE Crackers now are at the crlt- * ical stage of their campaign Much depends on the shape In which the club comes home after the pres ent road trip. If Smith’s men should start the long home series with only a few gam* s separating them from the top -and that’s admitting they don’t show in front on the trip—they should make one grand little light the rest of the way. An important point Just now Is to keep the regulars in condition during the hot, grueling road trip. Major ('aliaway has telegraphed the club’s secretary to provide bottled water of the best type for the players on the train, at the hotels* and on the field the rest of the Jaunt. It’s just a precaution against the troublesome and sometimes dangerous ailments frequently caused by changes of drinking water in widely-separated points, particularly in hot weather And in .baseball, as in any other business, It’** the small points that make or break, when it’s nil footed up.

MPHIS, TENN, July 21.—Bil ly Smith is going to start Conzelman or Brice against the Turtles in the first game of the series this afternoon, with Chapman catching. It is the manager’s hope to take at least two of the three games here, which will put the Crackers in pretty good shape for the coming en gagements with Montgomery and Mo bile, where the boys are looking for tough battles. There isn’t much to be said of the row yesterday. Wilson was mighty good in tlie first game, while Clarke, making his bow to the public, con tributed to his owp dow nfall w ith two errors and a wild pitch in the first inning. At that, the forkhander worked a good game all the rest of the way, the final count being 3 to 1. * * • D AIN broke up the second contest, with Price going at top speed and making the Pels look foolish In the first three Innings. The Crackers had a big margin when the bottom fell out and drowned them out of an even break on the day and a victory on the series. Jakey Atz was back in the New Or leans line-up. and, with Adams back of the wood, the Pels looked a good deal harder to beat than in the open ing games. • • • TMIE boys reached here this morning * full of pep and confidence, and believe they are going to clean up, especially if Conzelman pitches the Mum,' game.” He seems to have something on the Turtles, having w on both the games he has started against them. Billy Smith had quite a time mak ing room in his luggage for the big loving cup presented to him yesterday by -his New Orleans admirers. O'BRIEN CLAIMS A DRAW WITH FREDDIE WELCH VANCOUVER, B. C„ July 21.— Young Jack O’Brien to-day posted $1,000 with a local paper here to go as a forfeit for a second match with Freddie Welch, the British light weight. O’Brien declares that the worst he should have received in his dash with Welch on Saturday should have been a draw. What O’Brien asks in the second match is an impartial referee. C0FFR0TH ARRANGING FOR BIG CARD FOR AUGUST DATE SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.--“Sunny Jim” Coffroth has the August fight per mit for this city and is busy arranging a card for the show. Just who will make up the main event James hasn't decided as yet. but he has assured tlie tans that whoever the boxers are they will be lads who will offer a crack card Jim seldom fails in giving the public the best possible, and all lovers of the game are awaiting his decision. It is understood he is on the trail of Paekey McFarland and Jack Britton. h*it it is hardly likely that he will be able to get tills pair before Labor Day, if he can land them then. But he has Leach Cross, Matty Bald win. Johny Dundee, Red Watson and Tommy Murphy among the lightweights, with Jess Willard and Sam Langford to pick opponents for if he should decide on the big lads. Willie Ritchie has prac tically assured James that he will do battle with any lightweight on Labor Day. and Tommy Murphy will he Cof froth'a selection, this of course, subject to changes in the bill if McFarland should decide to box MOORE MAY GO TO REDS.

The Kill believes that he will be able to play in his usual form in the outfield, where it will notbenecessary for him to stoop so much LEA'ELAND, OHIO, July 21.— F’rank Chance is red-hot at the scurvy treatment he has received in th^ American League. “They come at you with a lot of salve,” he said this morning, “and all the while they are thinking how to knife you. Not being acquainted with ther little game, I played on the level with Callahan over the Chase deal. I want ed to get rid of Chase, though I knew* he was a good ball player. “Callahan stated that this guy Zeider was in fine shape, and I took his word. Callahan turned out to be a first-class kidder. Wait till I get going and I’ll hand those blokes back eome of their own coin. • • • • ‘THEN the other day they gave us 1 a fine square deal in Cleve land. Yes. they did. Fighting for the pennant, and they have as much change to win us I have, they thought to strangle us by advertising a dou ble-header. when it was all we could do to reach here for one game. Why, the secretary of this club put up an argument that we could have taken another train by way of Chicago, get ting here earlier. The boys would have to had to occupy a day coach. Can you beat that? Even if we are in last place, this* club is not going to be a piker. • • • M QAT for me that David Harm ^ Jesse James never had anything on the gang I'm up against in the American League; that is. barring Frank Farrell.” MOLLIWITZ BEING LOOKED OVER BY LEAGUE SCOUTS OCK M’NEIL believes that he is going to win the big Marathon grind at the Motordrome Tues day night. “And not because I have the fastest machine,” says Jock, “but because I have figured out just what 1 must do. “To win a long-distance race on a board track, a rider must be some what of an expert mathematician. A machine carries* two and one-half gal lons of gasoline and two quarts of ‘high-speed’ oil. In the Marathon race Tuesday night there will be nearly 105 laps, exclusive of the sev eral rounds made before the race is started. “All riders carry a small pump fastened to the oil can. With this the oil is drawn from the tank and shot Into the engine. I figure on uf'ing a 'shot of oil’ every one and three- quarter laps. “If I should use a. pump full every lap and a half I would run out of oil before the race is finished, and that would mean the loss of one or more laps to replenish my oil tank. ‘ “It will be seen that a rider must constantly have his wits about him. keeping track of the laps, judge the pace, stay as close to the beaten path as possible and watch for other things that might develop in the long race. “Riding on a circular track also requires a great deal of endurance and skill. No one likes to set the pace in a long race, as the leader breaks the wind. The skillful rider will always try to remain a yard or so back of the leader until near the finieh, and allow’ himself to be carried along by the suction in order to save his oil. and when the final lap is reached he gives h!s» engine a shot of the lubricant and he spurts in front .of the pacemaker as if the leader had suddenly stopped.” McNeil didn’t Intend to let It be known that he had figured out how he could remain on the track all the time, but Jock Is such a good-natur ed little Scotchman that he finally let the other nine riders “in.” Still it s a cinch that such a wicked pace will be set by the leaders that e\ cry man will have to stop at least once. Like at the famous automobile i races, each rider will have a “pit” in ! front of the paddock where he can ! change a tire or a wheel in a very few ! seconds, get a chain repaired, or whatever is needed. Those who are fortunate enough to secure seats in front of the pad- dock will surely witness a lot of in teresting “doings” as the riders stop for necessary repairs. A Motordrome Sweepstakes in three heats and a final, a special match race and a trial against time will round out the card. With such a program as this, the attendance at the Motordrome Tues day night is sure to be the largest in its history. In the event of rain, the events will be run off Wednes day night, or the next night that is clear. Here is the complete program; Tex Richards against time. One mile.
