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.

SPENDS AMO A DR.ONV.ARD SAVES AttSWBL ro-tooftg.oq) - 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.” EXCURSIONS “DUMB DAN" MORGAN. the “speechless” wonder from New York, has issued a statement offer 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.” *“ Two great tours East and West; special trains, exclusive ships; all ex pense paid; best hotels.
