A ND 'it isn’t all flowery beds of
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 M column, and
all ♦hat.
Sometimes, you see, one of the
hands may be going almost too well.
That is, if he has a string to him.
There is Carl Thompson, with the
Crackers. And there is F. Leroy
Chance, sometime Peerless Leader.
Carl is here, and F. Chance Is
there. But between them is the
string. Carl is stacking up a pretty
heap of workmanlike games The
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 ob( Major FYank
tosses restlessly these sultry nights,
by reason of something apart from
the sultriness.
Claiming Reason Is drawing close.
"And,” says Major Frank, "I’m Juet
hoping F. Chance will be looking the
other way when the date comes
’round.”
Because, you see, Carl Thompson
belongs to the Highlanders. And h*
is looking more and more ns 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 be considered
something of a joke on Carl if n<
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.
"Clark Griffith is mighty apt
to take hold of Gilbert Price," Major
Callaway remark'd Saturday. "H«’r
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 to
the 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 wiser old noodle cocked
over a pitching phoulder 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 crit-
* ical stage of their campaign
Much depends on the shape in which
the club comes home after thf pres
ent road trip. If Smith’s men should
Rtart the long home series with only
a few games separating them from
the top—and that’s admitting they
don’t show in front on the tri—they
should make one grand little fight
the rest of the way.
An important point Just now is to
keep the regulars In condition during
the hot, grueling road trip. Major
Callaway 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 bv changes of
drinking water in widely-separated
points, particularly in hot weather.
And In baseball, as In anv other
business, it’s the small points that
make or break, when It’s all footed
up.

/T EM PH IS, TENN., July 21.—Bil
im/1 ly Smith is going to start
Conzelman or Price against
the Turtles in the first game of the
series tills 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 the first game, wtiile Clarke,
making his bow to the public, con
tributed to his own downfall 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.
I > AIN broke up the second contest,
with Price going at top speed
and making the Pels look foolish in
the flrst 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.

especially if Conzelman pitches the
‘.lump game.” He seems to have
something on the Turtles, having won
both the games he has started
against them.

by his New Orleans admirers.

Jim seldom fails In giving the public

he can land them then.
But he has Leach Cross, Matty Bald

Tommy Murphy among the lightweights,
with Jess Willard and Sam t^ngford
to pick opponents for if he should decide
on the big lads. Willie Ritchie has prao

O'BRIEN CLAIMS A DRAW
WITH FREDDIE WELCH
C LEVELAND, OHIO, July 21.—
Frank Chance is red-hot at the
scurvy treatment he has received
in the 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 1
knew- he w r as a good ball player.
"Callahan stated that this guy
Zeider was in fine shape, and I took
his wmrd. Callahan turned out to be
a first-class kidder. Wait till I get
going and I’ll hand those blokes back
rome of their own coin.
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
clash with Welch on Saturday should
have been a draw.
What O’Brien asks in the second
match is an impartial referee.
LOOKOUTS TO RELIEVE
OUTFIELDER ELSTON
• < r T" , HEN the other day they gave us
A a fine square deal in Cleve
land. Yes, they did. Fighting for
the pennant, and they have as much
change to win as 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.

QCK 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 1 have figured out just what
I 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 using
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
■ onstantly have his wits about him,
keeping track of the laps, judge the
pace, stay as close to the beaten path
a3 possible and w atch for other things
that might develop in the long race.
"Hiding on a circular track also
requires a great deal of endurance
and skill. No one likes to set the
pace In a tong 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
finish, and allow' himself to be carried
along by the suction in order to sav u
his oil. and when the final lap is
reached he gives his 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 tne
time, but Jock is such a good-natur
ed little Scotchman that he finally let
nthpr nine riilopo “in ”
the other nine riders "in.
Still it s a cinch that such a wicked
race will be set by the leader.- that
every man will have to stop at least
once.
Like at the famous automobile
races, each rider will have a "pit” in
front of the paddock where he can

Those who are fortunate enough
to secure seats in front of the pad-
dock will surely witness a lot of in

for necessary repairs.
A Motordrome Sweepstakes in three

race and a trial against time will

With such a program as this, the
