After which the president of the
Crackers intimated that the Hon.
Griffith had quite some ideas as to
the care and reuring of youthful slab-
men. *
Griff's pretty hard to work for,
that is. for an opinionated young

there was a wiser old noodle cocked
over a pitching shoulder than that
owned by the Old Fox He was a

It. So the kid who tries to tell Griff
something new about the slab game
is due to hear something not alto-

m /r EMPH1S. TKN'N., July 21.—Bil-
ly Smith is going to start
Conzelman or Price ugainst
the Tuttles 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 hl« 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 n good game all the rest of
the way, the final count being 3 to 1.
AIN broke up the second contest,
with Price going at top speed
R
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
* 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.

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 ('base, though 1
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 u c
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.

MEN
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 tiding
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
finish, 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 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 leader? that
every man will have to stop at least
once.
Like at the famous automobile
races, each rifler 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. Present record held by Eddie
Hasha and Morty Graves; time, 38 4-5
seconds.
