M emphis, tenn., July 23.—1 am feeling more like a regu lar prophet this morning. I raid the Crackers would turn the tables on the Turtles in the second une, and they certainly made good. Dent pitched grand ball. The Mem phis sluggers were helpless before 1 m and there never was a time when •hey threatened. That was largely i "cause we had things sewed up he re they ever got to bat. Glen irbhardt was easy in th e opening ,nirig' and we made enough runs 1 ght there to win three such games 11s 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, liisland's fielding at short was spec tacular. Jo e Dunn is catching as good a game now as any backstop in the league and his pegging to bases v i3 keeping the other fellows nailed down close. I figure we have a great chance to nip the 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 mean3 a lot to us, also. After this series we 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 IN WESTERN TOURNAMENT HOMKWOOD COUNTRY CLUB, FLOOSMOOR.

T HE In6lde 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 sheet of paper on which were written the conditions that are to govern the bout. Jack Cur ley was forced to guarantee Smith and his spiritual advis-er. James Buckley, that their share would amount to $6,000. 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 awns' the Gunboat." writes Curley "If from what I have seen of Smith en titles him to be called the Gunboat then Fivnn 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 will offer a belt emblematic of the premier heavy weight honors among the whiles. If Fivnn wins it—and there Isn't the least doubt in my mind but that he will—I want to go 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 the barber shops on w hich will be printed the word NEXT." JEANNETTE WINS BOUT. NEW YORK, July S3 Joe Jeannette failed to make an Impression here when he met John Lester Johnson The con test went ten rounds with Jeannette an easv winner. Sheriff Harburger ordered the bout stopped between Willie Roth- well and Ralph Rose In the fourth round when Rose hit low. COOPERSTOWN WINS POLO MATCH. NARRAGANSETT PIER, R I.. July 23 —The Army polo polo quartet was 'defeated by the I'ooperstowti team 1n I the second round for the overture Cup 1st the annual Point Judith tournament jyesterday by a score of goals to 7. 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 aid 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 when Joe Agler 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. * * * UERE it goes. 1 A Agler belonged to the Cubs. Jer sey City made an offer for him. Mur phy accepted the offer. Agler re ported. Six far, O. K. Then came the trouble. Mr. Murphy asked for the price. He 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 Agler. 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 sack- er. The Atlanta management said $1,250. Mr. Murphy said, "Done.” And it was. And (considering also Mr. Agler s first basing capacity) the Atlanta felt pretty kindly management has toward Mr. Murphy, which may serve to offset some of the regard enter tained for the Cubs’ owner in Jersey City. • • • VTEWS 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 urize beauty showed class in only one game. Then he fliwered. 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 tow r ard 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 two weeks, though the command ing lead of McGraw’s clan overshad ows a spurt that 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.
