I TURTLES WILL THE ATLAiSTTH GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. By Joe Agler. M emphis, tenn., j u iy 23.—1 am feeling more like a regu lar prophet this morning. I said the Crackers would turn the tables on the Turtles in th e 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 was largely because we had things sewed up be fore they ever got to bat. Glen Liebhardt was easy in th e 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. Jo e Dunn is catching as good a game now as any backstop in the league and his pegging to bases is keeping the other fellows nailed down close. I figure we have a great chance to cop 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 means 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 HOMEWOOD COUNTRY CLUB, FLOOSMOOR, ILL., July 23.—Playing exceedingly fine golf, Charles Evans, Jr., the present title holder of the West em amateur 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 beat Warren K. Wood’s score of 152. Warren Wood, of the Homewood Club, made the morning round in 75. taking 36 for the 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. NILES AND DABNEY WIN EASTERN TENNIS DOUBLES BOSTON, July 23.—In the opening round of the Eastern tennis doubles at Longwood yesterday Niles and Dabney defeated Clothier and Gard ner in one of the most sensational double matches ever played at the local court.

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 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 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, tt 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 Billv Gibson will offer a belt emblematic of the premier heavy weight honors among the whites. If Flynn 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 cheeks like they do in the barber shops on which will be printed the word NEXT.” JEANNETTE WINS BOUT. NEW YORK, July 23.—Joe Jeannette failed to make an impression here when he met John Lester Johnson. The con test went ten rounds with Jeannette an easy winner. Sheriff Harburger ordered the bout stopped between Willie Roth- well and Ralph Rose in the fourth round I when Rose hit low. COOPERSTOWN WINS POLO MATCH.

ButC. Murphy Opened Up—Once •}■•■}• •J**’3* Bargain in joe Agler Resulted 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 Leifield 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 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 • * * LJERE it goes. A A Agler belonged to the Cubs. Jer sey City made an offer for him. Mur phy accepted the offer. Agler re ported. So 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 management has felt pretty kindly toward Mr. Murphy, which may serve to offset some of the regard enter tained for the Cubs’ owner in Jersey City. • * • 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 fiivvered. 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 is«n’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 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. Don’t All Speak At Once. By O. B. KEELER.

Y. NEW YORK, July 23.—Six teams, composed of the speediest motor cyclists in the country, will meet to night at the Brighton Beach motor drome in a special two-hour race. Chappelle and Ohne are the favor ites, but according to the practice spins yesterday the pair will be hard pushed by the field. The teams are Chappelle-Ohne, Cox-Kearney, Davis-Fisher, Veditz- Meroier, Costello-Speri and St. Ives- 1 lagan. BOSTON, July 23.—Mariel Thomas, welterweight champion of France, was declared defeated by Mike Glover, of South Boston, in the fourth round of a bout here last night. Thomas had the better of the argu ment in the first two rounds, but Glover became aggressive in the third After two minutes of fighting in the fourth round, Thomas dropped his hands and walked toward his corner, followed by Glover. Referee Sheehan interfered, rendering a decision of a "technical knockout."

July 23.—The .work of strengthening the Boston Americans for the pennant race of 1914 has be gun. Two young pitchers have been bought within a few days. Pitcher Radloff, whose purchase from the Manistee club of the Michigan State League was announced here to-day, being the latest acquisition. The new comer is a left-hander. He will re port at the rlos*e of the Michigan League season. 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 1t rains some more during the next six or seven hours Jack Prince announces that the race will surely be held to night. With ten riders traveling around the saucer 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 ail the other riders are confident that they will carry off the $500 prize offered for the victor. Harry Glenn, the local boy. admits that his machine is not as fast as some of the others, but Harry says that his motor possesses the endur ance. and claims that endurance more than speed is what will count in this pong journey. Following is the complete and re vised program for to-night: Tex Richards against time. One mile. Present record held by Eddie Hasha and Morty Graves. Time, 38 4-5 seconds. One mile to qualify for tw r o-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.
