!' 1 Jr P L. id watching his alleged slab- men fat-p off point after joint in the pen entAffe column And so—getting to the tie that binds—one Major Prank Callaway tosses restlessly these sultry nights, by reason of something apart from the sultriness. Claiming reason is drawing close “And." say* Major Frank. "I'm Just hoping F.

Ray Caldwell, et al. Of course, it might be considered something of a joke on Carl if he should be dragged hack to the Yanks at this time. But that ball club Is likely tb 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 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. “Criff's pretty hard to work for; that 1s. 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 great pi'.cher himself—and he knows It So the kid who tries to tell Griff something new r about the slab game is due to hear something not alto gether to his advantage." • • • THE Crackers now are at the crlt- * 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 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 hotelp and on the field the rest of the Jaunt It’s Just a 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 bantamwelKht champion of the world, would reenter the hotting pome.

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 dow nfall with two errors and a wild pitch in the first inning.

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 I knew he wms 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.

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. w hen 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.

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 uning 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 w'ill 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 alivays try to remain a yard or so back of the leader until near the i1ni*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 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 w’lcked pace 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 few T OBflCCO HABIT Y * u e *° “ B,u,r n WUMWWW IISUII pfMOly , n 3 days , n .
