8 TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AM) NEWS. SPOILT^ COVEKEB4-KPERT This Has Nothing to Do with the Weather, but Isn’t It Warm? By “Bud” Fisher By 0. B. Keeler. A ND *1t Isn't all flowfery 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 ur> in the "W” column, and all that. 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 V. Leroy Chance, sometime Peerless Leader. Carl i« here, and F. Chance In there. Put 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—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 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 as if he could sand the skids under that luck less aggregation, which appears be yond the present capacity of Runsell Ford, Hay Caldwell, et al. Of course, it might be 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. "Clark Griffith is mighty apt to take hold of Gilbert Price,” Major Callaway remarked Saturday. “He’s Just the style the Old Fox likes to grab while in its comparative Infancy and train aecordlng 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 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 n< w are at the crit- * leal 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 s-hould start 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 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 Callaway has telegraphed the club*- 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, ns In any other business, It’s* the small points that make or break, when it’s all footed up.

M. ->HE President’s Cup, most im portant of the mid-season tour naments of the Atlantic Ath letic Club, has been won by V. V. Tll.oon In the finals, after a grueling all-day struggle. Tilson defeated Hamilton Block 5-3. In the second flight, m ide up of the losers in the first round of the first flight, II. P. D. Cowee won from T. L. Cooper. 4-3. The Tilson-Block match was bit terly contested. The winner was blessed with a handicap of 21 strokes, while the lohvr has a handicap of Tilson had fairly breezed to the finals, running foul of but one tough match; and that one in the third round, when he defeated Bob Jones, Sr. Block, on the other hand, had been extended to the utmost in getting to the finals and had won two 19-hole matches in th course of his perilous career toward the ultimate show-down. The final round between Tilson and Block was full of tine golf. The loser played a gallant game, but his op ponent was plugging steadily along and. thanks to a husky handicap, wa>* invincible. Cowee, the winner of the second flight, had comparatively easy sailing in the finals. II. was never in trou ble. Co wee. by the way, was put out of the first flight anil back into sec ond by the winner of the first flight tournament. V. Tilson. THORNTON, EX-CUB HURLER. HELD FOR SANITY BOARD TACOMA. WASH .

Bv Joe Agler. EM PHIS, TENN„ July 21.—Bil ly Smith is going to start Conzeiman or Price 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 the first game, while Clarke, making his bow to the public, con tributed to his own downfall with 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. R ^ 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. • • * THE boys reached here this morning 1 full of pep and confidence, and heliev they are going to clean up, especially If Conzeiman pitches the J>• ’uj* 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 luggage for the big loving cup presented to him yesterday by his New Orleans admirers. COFFROTH ARRANGING FOR BIG CARD FOR AUGUST DATE SAX FRANCISCO. July 21. "Sunny Jim” CofTroth 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 the fans that whoever the boxers are they w ill 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 1'ackey McFarland and Jack Britton, hi\t it is hardly likely that he will be able to get this pair before Labor Day, if ho 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 Janus that he will do battle with any lightweight on I^abor Day. and Tommy Murphy will be Cof- froth’s selection, this, of course, subject to changes in the bill if McFarland should decide to box. 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 hr should have received in his lash 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 CHATTANOOGA, TENN., July 21.— President O. B. Andrews announced to day that Outfielder Elston is to be re leased at once, while Kid Elberfeld will ge to right and Dee Walsh will plav snort. The Kid 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 S LEAGUEJ C LEVELAND, OHIO, July 21.— Frank Chance is red-hot at the scurvy treatment he has received in the American League. “They come ai 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 some 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 as 1 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. • • • GCAY for me that David Harum and ^ Jesse James never had anything on the gang I'm up against in the American League; that is. barring Frank Farrell.” LYNCH FINES SCRAPPERS.

M0LLIWITZ BEING LOOKED OVEB BY LEAGUE SCOUTS MILWAUKEE, July 21.—The rec ords of such men a? Chappelle, who came from a State league team, have brought scouts to this territory. The latest being Inspected is Fred Molllwitz, first baseman for the Green Bay team. Eddie Sweeney has been in the State to look him over for Prank Chance, and Fred Lake came from Detroit to see him. Jock McNeil Some Mathematician * • *!* • •!» v«>I* v • v •!*•*!• • v Figures How He’ll Win Marathon 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 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 pumo fastened to the oil can. With this the oil is drawn from the tank and shot into the engine. I figure on us*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 de«al 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 a 1 way's try to remain a y'ard or so back of the leader until near the finis'h, and allow himself to be carried along by the suction in order to sav 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 the other nine riders “in.” Still it s a cinch that such a wicked pace will be set by' the leaders* that every man will have to stop at leas; | 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 feu second?, 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 rider? stop for necessary repairs. A Motordrome Sweepstakes in three heats and a final, a special match nice 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.
