THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NT>vB.
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" 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 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—one Major Frank Callaway
tosses restlessly these *ultry nights,
by reason of something upart from
the sultriness.
Claiming season is drawing close.
“And,” says Major Frank, “I’m Just
hoping F. Chance will be 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 be considered
something of a Joke on Carl if he
ahould be dragged back to the Yanks
at this time. But that ball club is
likely to take a turn for the better
one of th\se 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 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 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
aomething new about the slab game
is due to hear aomething not alto
gether to his advantage.”
• • •
'T'KE Crackers now are at the crlt-
A 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 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 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 hotel* and on the field
the rest of the Jaunt. It’s just
precaution again?* 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’s the small points that
make or break, when it’s all footed
up.
FORBES BACK IN RING;
MAY MEET JIMMY WALSH
CHICAGO. July 21.—Harry Forbes,
once bantamweight champion of the
worW, would reenter the boxing yjimp.
He 1b stirred to activity by seeing
some of the present day performers
in action, believing that he Is easily
better than moat of them in this sec
tion of the country.
The Fox River Club of Aurora, of
which Art Reid Is matchmaker, is
anxious to get Forbes into a contest
and there is a chance that they will
stage him with Jimmy Walsh, the
English bantam star now in this city,
within a short time.

FROM H. BLOCK
T UB President's Cup, most im
portant of the mid-season tour
nament* of the Atlantic Ath
letic Club, has been won by V. V.
Tllson In the finals, after a grueling
all-day struggle. Tllson defeated
Hamilton Block 5-3. In the second
flight, made up of the losers in the
first round of the first flight, H. P. D.
Cowee won from T. L. Cooper. 4-3.
The Tllson-Block match was bit
terly contested. The winner was
blessed with a handicap of 21 strokes,
while the lo.^er has a handicap of 7
Tllson 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 the
course of his perilous career toward
the ultimate show-down.
The final round between Tilson and
Block was full of fine golf. The loser
played a gallant game, blit his op
ponent was plugging steadily along
and, thanks to a husky handicap,
was* invincible.
Cowee. the winner of the second
flight, had comparatively easy sailing
in the finals. He was never in trou
ble. Co wee. by the way, was put out
of the first flight and back into sec
ond by the winner of the first flight
tournament, V. Tilson.

Conzelman or Price Will Pitch
By Joe Agler.
M emphis, tenn., July 21.—bh-
ly Smith is going to start
• Conzelman or Price against
the Turtles in the firm 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.

with Price going at top speed

COFFROTH 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 the
fans 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
Packey McFarland and Jack Britton, blit
it is hardly likely that he will be able
to get this pair before Labor Day, if
lie can land them then.
But he has I^each 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 be Cof-
froth’s selection, this, of course, subject
to changes Jn the bill If McFarland
should decide to box.

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 hack 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
* full of pep and confidence, and
believe they are going to clean up,
especially if Conzelman pitches the
"jump 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.
O’BRIEN CLAIMS A DRAW

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.

CHATTANOOGA. TENN., July 21.—
President O. B. Andrews announced to

HARD HIP. AT

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. Nol
being acquainted with ther little
game, I played on the level with
Callahan over tha 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
*ome 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 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.

MOLLIWITZ BEING LOOKED

MILWAUKEE, July 21.—The rec

The latest being Inspected is Fred
Molliwitz, first baseman for the
Green Bay team. Eddie Sweeney has
been in the State to look him over for
Frank Chance, and Fred Lake came

Figures How He’ll Win Marathon

cash prize of $500.

5, Tex Richards; No. 6, Freddie Lu
ther; No. 7, George Renel; No. 8,
Jock McNeil; No. 9, Henry Lewis;
No. 10, Harry Glenn.
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 pump
fastened to the oil can. With this
the oil is drawn from the tank and
shot Into the engine. I figure on u*lng
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 a* 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
finish, 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 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
every man will have to stop at least
once.
Like at the famous antomobile
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 rider* 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
