TFIE ATLANTA <!EOR< 1IAN AND NEWS. HAUL H LISE This Has Nothing to Do with the Weather, but Isn’t It Warm? • • • • • • o • By “Bud” Fisher ii i nuivi! m\ By O. B. Keeler. 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. SAY, fAUTT, | Neve* ‘tdud you TWAY I W*3 A, CHEAT U5NM)ISTAt<.« SUIWUAPR.

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. S LEAGUEJ "P UK boys reached here this morning * full of pep and confidence, and believi they are going to clean up. 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. Billy Smith had quite a time mak ing room in his luggt&e for the big loving cup presented to him yesterday by his New Orleans admirers. COFFROTH ARRANGING FOR BIG CARD FOR AUGUST DATE SAN FRANCISCO.

It Is understood he is on the trail of !’at key McFarland and Jack Britton, l i t it is hardly likely that he will be able to get this pair before Labor Pay, If he can land them then. But he has Leach Cross, Matty Bald win, John} Dundee, Red Watsons and 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 tically assured James that he will do battle with any lightweight on l^abor Pay. and Tommy Murphy will be Cof- froth’s selection, this, of course, subject p> changes in the bill if McFarland should decide to box 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. CHATTANOOGA. TENN., July 21.— President O. B.

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 change a tire or a wheel in a very fe w T obacco habit vou « w w ,,MWI 1 easily In 3 d». im l.rove your health, prolong your Ilf;. >'o more stomach trouble, do foul breach, no heart weak ness.

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.
