Bv .Joe Agler. 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.

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.

SHMfcRS h/nt* To 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. MOTORDROME SWEEPSTAKES. One mile to qualify for two-mile final. Two to qualify in each heat and three in fastest heat.
