t n* TURTLES WILL Bringing Up Father By Joe A pier. 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 was 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. Blsland’s fielding at short was spec tacular. Jo© 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 th© odd game this afternoon, with Thompson on the mound tryfng 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 OH: - I LOVE ATHLETIC*, - 1*1 AN ATHLETIC MT •SELF - | THE CHAMPION HAMMER THAO WE R AT cot-LEoe HEX - Come her* HOVI DO MR jkk;v. daughter about how iTRONCi you ARE is THAT Us Boys IUKl8ter*r1 United State* Patent Office Think of Taking Skinny for a Desperado HOMEWOOD COUNTRY CLUB, FLOOSMOOR, ILL..

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 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. van's automobile is aonna comp BY AND 6er ME TO TAKE ME UP ro^see H/M - l 60T MOMS ro MARE ME SOME MICE BREAD AND BUTTER.

CONROY onffSiU Lester, Dlero, Smith, Cook and Brandon and Others By Otto Floto. r E 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, 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 i 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 will offer a belt emblematic of the premier heavy weight honor?* 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 checks like they do in the barber shops on which will be printed the word NEXT.” SAFE. CLEAN. COOL.

By O. B. Keeler. S PEAKING of Chubby Chawles Murphy,, however—and a good many people arc 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 cld the Crackers a good turn, and you may jqdge 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 * * * UKRE it goes. 1 * 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 tvere 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 td know what the Atlanta club would give for a perfectly good fork-hand first saek- 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 Cutes’ owner in Jersey City. • * * N EWS from our old friend, "Lefty” Russell. The expensive southpaw didn’t have much luck with the A'thletics, an 1 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! * * * THE grim rally of the apparently *- dow’n-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 w;th the record of being easy for the Giants in every previous encounter this season.
