M OBILE. July 2S.—Mike Finn will
remain as manager of the Mo
bile Baseball Club.
Such was the announcement of
President Alfred Staples following a
meeting of the directors of the Mo
bile club. "The trouble has been ad
justed satisfactorily to everybody con
cerned,” he said, "and Mr Finn re
mains as manager of the club.”
Further than the announcement
that "matters has been settled satis
factorily to all concerned,” president
Staples would not go into the case,
but from a reliable source, it Is un
derstood that Mike Desmond, employ
ed at the ball park in the capacity
of special officer, had tendered his
resignation. It is understood that he
took his action, following Manager
Finn’s statement that he would re
sign. rather than cause the club offi
cials any embarrassment.
Manager Finn would not discuss the
outcome of the case when seen, but
stated - that only one thing in con
nection with the entire affair had
caused him any regret, and that was
the statement that he had "insulted
the Hibernians.” The Gull leader de
nied that he ever offered offense to
the Hibernians of any other organi
zation of any kind in Mobile, and
Kates that he has never made any
remark that could be construed as an
insult to any organization.
"Mike, you're too good an Irish
man, yourself, to talk about the Hi
bernians; are you not?” he was
asked.
"Sure,” he responded, "and to tell
the truth, I've made up my mind to
loin the Hibernians,"
The announcement that Mike Finn
will remain at the head of the club
means that the players will hustle as
they have in the past to keep the club
In the running, and no one was more
pleaeed when definite announcement
was made that he would stay than the
players now working for the Mobile
club under him.

Report That Cobb Is
Slated for Chicago
CHICAGO, July 24.—Just before the
White Sox pulled out for their East
ern invasion a report gained circula
tion to the effect that Ty Cobb, Tiger
star, is to become a member of tin
South Side crew.
To get him, all this according to the
report, Owner Comiskey must give up
Pitcher “Red'’ Russell. Outfielder
Chapqelle, for whom ComfsKey re
cently paid $18,000, and a catcher.
It has been known for sever T
months that Cobb lias been anxious ;
break away from the Tiger band, but
this is the flrsfc time that an offer
was made for him.
N OW is the time to get out
old friend Crucial Series and
furbish him up for active duty
the next three days—beginning to
day. Also, it is up to the Crackers,
like the noble Romans’getting an ear
ful of M. Antony’s oratory, that those
who have base hits prepare to shed
them now,
In other words, this is the well-
known Critical Juncture, the Tide in
the Affairs of Men. and (as set forth
in the preamble) the Crucial Series.
There is no particular advantage
to be gained by holding a post mor
tem in advance. It may be stated
briefly that if the Crackers lose three
straight games* to the Billikens, the
1913 bunting will be in grave danger
of wasting its fragrance on the desert
air surrounding Montgomery, Ala.
If the Smithies win three, with the
long home series in prospect, chances
will be bright for fireworks at Ponce
DeLeon.
A split series, with the Town Boys
on the heavy end, will make things
look the same way, only not so much
And if the Billies get the odd
game, our noble lads will have some
Horatious-at-the-Viaduct work cut
out for them the rest of the way.
Here’s hoping!
I OS ANGELES, July 24. And
still they come! With enough
boxers here to stage a carni
val of fistic revels lasting until
Christmas and managers and pro
moters clamoring over each others
shoulders for a chance at a date and
a trunk full of coin it appears that
the end is not yet.
Joe Woodman is clamoring for
dates for his two proteges, Sam
Langford and Jack Read, the Aus
tralian lightweight chamuion, and
bids fair to make a landing.
Ad Wolgast also wants to be re
membered. He is right on the ground
to press his claim with Champion
Willi^ Ritchie for an early match.
He figures that since Rivers lost out
in his match on July 4 he is in direct
line for another match in preference
to the Mexican and probably his bout
at the Vernon arena would be a good
card.
J A( K PRINCE really gets sore
when he is called “the Rain
maker.”
But being well armed with a
pair of perfectly good legs, we dare
him to come forth for battle, and so
here goo*':
Jack Prince, you are a regular
rainmaker!
For the second time in as many
days the races carded for the Motor
drome have been called off on ac
count of rain. And to make sure
that they will have plenty of time to
get Jack out of town, the other back
ers in the saucer have decided that
the next set of races will not be
held until Friday night.
They want all of to-day to get Jack
out of the city. And they guarantee
that Prince will not be within fifty
miles of here by sunrise to-morrow.
And with that promise, the local
bugs may be assured that the big
Marathon grind will come off to
morrow night. Also a number of
other events that should prove cork
ers.
To-day all of the riders intend
tuning up their machines a bit more.
To-morrow night the record for the
26 miles. 3S5 yards is very likely to
get an awful kick jn the slats.

(GILBERT PRICE’S little vaoa-
^ tion didn’t last long. He was or
dered by Manager Billy Smith to
start from Atlanta this morning to
join the club at Montgomery, where
he probably will work in the Satur
day game.
Price said yesterday he couldn't
figure out why he drew the suspen
sion that became effective after his
poor start against the Turtles in the
opening contest of the recent series.
”1 just got bumped—that's all.”
said Gilbert. "That will happen to
ar'-hodv once in a while; sometimes
oftener.”

“DUMB DAN" MORGAN. the

ing to match Jack Britton with
Champion Ritchie for a side bet of
$10,000. There is no mention made
in the letter of whether it is ten
thousand cigars or toothpicks. He
says this would be a real test for the
champion and that Britton will box
at any v\eight that suits the "cham
pion.” *“
