Big Marathon Race On To-night
Final heat of Motordrome Sweep-
stakes—Two miles.
Second heat of Special Match Race
—Glenn vs. Schwartz.
Third heat of Special Match Race,
if necessary.
Big Marathon Race—(26 miles 385
yards), ten riders to compete. Each
rider will have to ride 105 times
around the track. Winner to receive
cash prize of $500.
Contestants—No. 1, Morty Graves;
No. 2, Harry Schwartz; No. 3, Billy
Shields; No. 4, George Lockner; No. 5,
Tex Richards; No. 6. Freddie Luther;

Neil; No. 9. Henry Lewis; No. 10,
Harry Glenn.
W EATHER permitting, the big
motor Marathon race will be
run to-night at the Motor
drome. J. Pluvius caused a post
ponement last night, but unless it
rains some more during the next fix
or seven hours Jack Prince announces
that the race will surely be held to
night.
With ten riders traveling around the
sauoer at an 85-mile-an-hour clip
there is sure to be plenty of excite
ment. And it is even betting that at
least one spill will have taken place
before the entire 105 laps have been
“cleaned up."
Jock McNeil and Tex Richards are
favorites in this event. But all the
other riders are confident that they
will carry off the $500 prize offered
for the victor.
Harry Glenn the local boy. admit**
that his machine in not as fast as
some of the others, but Harry says
that nis motor possesses the endur
ance. and claims that endurance more
than speed is what will count in this
long journey.
Following is the complete and re
vised program for to-night:
Tex Richards against time. One
mile. Present record held by Eddie
Hasba and Morty Graves. Time, 38 4-5
seconds.
One mil© to qualify for two-mile
final. Two to qualify in each heat
and three in fastest heat.
First Heat—No. 1, Morty Graves;
No. 2, Harry Schwartz; No. 3. Billy
Shields; No. 4. George Lockner; No.
5, Tex Richards.
Second Heat—No. 6, Freddie Lu

toward Mr. Murphy, which may serve
to offset some of the regard enter
tained for the Cubs’ owner in Jersey
City.
By O. B. Keeler.
S PEAKING of Chubby Chawles
Murphy, however—and a good
many people are speaking of C.
C. these days—it musn’t be gathered
that Mr. Murphy never has opened
up his heart at all. just because he
was the least bit fractious in that
little matter of the Leifleld deal with
Atlanta.
Not by any means.
There was a time, now, that Mr.
Murphy did the Crackers a good turn,
and you may judge how good It was
by the fact that the Cubs’ owner sold
the Crackers a ball player for exactly
half the price he could have realized
elsewhere.
Doesn’t sound like Mr. Murphy,
does It?
But It was—and he didn't have to
do it, either.
Maybe you remember w’hen Joe
Agier came to the Crackers. Maybe
you also remember just how It was
that he didn’t stay in Jersey City,
where he came from. But if you
don’t you may find an excuse for a bit
of history.
N EWS from our old friend, “Lefty"
Russell.
The expensive southpaw didn’t have
much luck with the Athletics, and
when he came to Atlanta year before
last he didn’t find the come-back trail
thickly set with four-leaf clovers. The
prize beauty showed class in only one
game. Then he flivvered. Also his
habits were not of the most serene,
and he was afflicted with tempera
ment.
It looked as if he never would be
a regular pitcher.
And he isn’t now,
He's a first baseman with the Al
lentown club. of the Tri-State
League. And the last set of records
from that circuit give Lefty a fine
little rating.
Playing in 61 games, the ex-slab-
man has a batting average of .314 and
stands well up toward the top of the
heap. His fielding average is not so
lofty, but his .975 is explained by a
willingness to go after anything in
sight.
And the folks down at Allentown
like Lefty pretty well, thank you!
* * *
T HE grim rally of the apparently
down-and-out Pirates is getting
to be the talk of the National League.
Not even the Giants have been
steaming along with the powerful
drive of the Clarke machine in the
last tw'o weeks, though the command
ing lead of McGraw’s clan overshad
ows a spurt chat otherwise might be
threatening. The present series be
tween the clubs cuts deeply into the
situation, especially as the Pirates
started it with the record of being
easy for the Giants in every previous
encounter this season.
T HE inside story of how’ the match
between Gunboat Smith and
Jim Flynn was finally cinched is
just coming to light. In order to get
the Gunboat person’s bold Spencerian
moniker to the legal Bheet of paper on
which were written the conditions
that are to govern the bout, Jack Cur
ley was forced to guarantee Smith
and hlfl spiritual adviser. James
Buckley, that their share would
amount to $5,000. Curley did not care
to assume the risk, but was forced
up to a barrier which meant either
comply with the demand or no match.
Smith, It is claimed, wanted the re
fusal to guarantee him the amount
named above as a loophole to crawl
out of the meeting with the Pueb-
loan.
“The very fact that I have shown
such anxiety to clinch the bout for
Flynn speaks louder than words how-
certain I am that Jim can stow’ away
the Gunboat,” writes Curley. “If
from what I have seen of Smith en
titles* him to be called the Gunboat
then Flynn is the Battering Ram and
will sink the old hulk as soon as he
jams into it. This battle, as you
know, Is the commencement of the
elimination of ‘white hopes.’ Man
ager Billy Gibson w-ill offer a belt
emblematic of the premier heavy
weight honor** among the whites. If
Flynn wins it—and there Isn’t tiie
least doubt in my mind but that he
will—I want to gr> on record right
now as saying he’ll be ready to de
fend it against all comers. We’ll
give out checks like they.do in the
barber shops on which will be printed
the word NEXT.”

AUGUSTA NET CHAMPIONS
AUGUSTA. GA.. July 23—When Hen-

Waring brothers, of Columbia, S. C.,

recent South Atlantic tennis tournament

1 A Agier belonged to the Cubs. Jer
sey City made an offer for him. Mur
phy accepted the offer. Agier re
ported.
So far, O. K.
Then came the trouble.
Mr. Murphy asked for the price.
H<- said it was $3,500. Jersey City
said it was $2,500. Mr. Murphy showed
a telegram offering $3,500. Mr. J. City
showed a telegram, filed at the other
end. offering $2,500.
Apparently both were correct. Un
deniably both were sincere in their
convictions. The mistake seems to
have happened along the wire some
where.
But, anyway, there was a fearful
row. Jersey City offered to pay
$2,500 for Agier. Mr. Murphy wouldn’t
touch it with boxing gloves.
Right at the top of the squabble
Mr. Murphy wired heatedly to know
what the Atlanta club would give for
a perfectly good fork-hand first pack
er.
The Atlanta management said
$1,250.
Mr. Murphy said, “Done.”

TURTLES 1IILL
By Joe Agier.
M emphis, tenn., July 23.—i
am feeling more like a regu
lar prophet this morning. I
said the Crackers would turn the
tables on the Turtles in the second
game, and they certainly made good.
Dent pitched grand ball. The Mem
phis sluggers were helpless before
him and there never was a time when
they threatened. That w’as largely
because we had things sewed up be
fore they ever got to bat. Glen
Liebhardt was easy in the opening
inning and we made enough runs
right there to win three such games
as Dent was pitching.
Wally Smith and Bisland deserve
special mention for their performance
yesterday. Wally got two hits and
looked more like himself at the plate
than he has in the last two weeks.
Bisland’s fielding at short was spec
tacular. Joe Dunn Is catching as
good a game now as any backstop in
the league and his pegging to bases
is keeping the other fellow’s nailed
down close.
I figure w’e have a great chance to
cop th e odd game this afternoon,
with Thompson on the mound trying
to make his string five in a row’. We
will break our necks, if necessary, to
help him do that, as the victory
means a lot to us, also.
After this series w r e get the tough
est engagement of the trip; three
games at Montgomery. The boys are
looking for hard battles in every con
test, but not a man on the club will
be satisfied to take less than two of
the games.
CHICK’ EVANS LOW MAN

HOMEWOOD COUNTRY CLUB.
FLOOSMOOR. ILL., July 23.—Playing
exceedingly fine golf. Charles Evans,
Jr., the present title holder of the West
ern ameteur championship, played in the
second half of the qualifying round here
this morning and led the 64 survivors
when he turned in a card of 73 for the
round.
This, with his score of 78 made yes
terday, gives him a grand total of 151
for the 36 holes. He went out in 38
and came back in 35. On the home hole
he holed his approach, which was off
the green, a distance of 75 feet from
the cup, and it gave him a four for the
hole and enabled him to heat Warren
K. Wood's score of 152.
Warren Wood, of the Homew’ood Club,
made the morning round in 75. taking
36 for ihe first nine holes and 39 for the
return trip. This, with his score of 77
made yesterday, gives him second best
score in the qualifying round.
