Sky Juice Excuses Much Gossip
By 0. B. Keeler.
T HE prospective dog-fall in the
Crackere-Blllies imbroglio was
put over until to-day, for the
usual reason, i. e., superfluous sky
juice. This, circumstance being un
der no conditions peculiarly exciting,
we are going to let all the emotions
back up until this afternoon, when
yet another double-header is going
to try to get Itself played.
Wherefore it probably will rain
again.
One grain of comfort obtrudes it
self across the dismal background ofc
Alabama sky line, somewhat as the
well-known dove appeared with the
olive branch in a somewhat similar
situation.
Atlanta can’t lose more than two
games in Montgomery this series.
* * * %
V\TC will now pause to Inspect a
»* prize package, which our o. f.
Charley Jones has just arranged to
drop in the parcel post, addressed to
C. Ebbetts. Brooklyn.
The package, Brown inside and well
wrapped in a rosy reputation, cost Mr.
Ebbetts exactly $7,000, unless some
one has blundered. Mr. Jones has
been standing on a table draped in
red baize, like a fire 3ale for, lo,
these last several weeks. making
noises like an auctioneer and waving
the Fatal Hammer over the block of
his pet pitcher.
It did look fatal at one juncture,
when it was reported the principal
contest for Mr. Brown was between
the Yankees and the Boston Braves,
so-called because they persist in
staying in the league.
But Mr. Brown is to be congratulat
ed. He will start off with a regular
ball club next spring—fairly regular,
that is.
\ LSO, Mr. Jones is in for the pump-
handling, too. and Johnny Dobbs,
who has earned it. if anybody has this
year. It seems that the Montgomery
club also ha* sold Outfielder Walker
and Pitcher Manning to the St. Louis
Browns, getting $4,000 for Walker and
$2,500 for Manning.
That brings the tota. sales up to
$13,500. And that probably will keep
the Montgomery franchise in that
town another year, at least, and keep
the club’s head above water for the
present session.
But we can’t congratulate Messrs.
Walker and Manning. Not conscien
tiously.
• • •
C TRICTLY as an after-idea, can’t
^ Mr. Ebbetts arrange to collect
Mr. Brown and carry him off to
Brooklyn before the first game starts
this afternoon? We understand the
delivery is to be made at the end of
the season. But that would be ail
right with us.
• • •
A ND. by the way, isn’t this Joe
Boehling person, who has won
eleven games in the American League
this year and hasn’t lost any. the
very sartie guy whom Billy Smith
shipped back to the Senators Iasi
year as unripe for Class A baseball?
Still. Mr. Smith should worry.
There was Ah Powell, who had at
least two shots at a geek named
Rucker—Napoleon B. Rucker.
And when the just celebrated N. B.
took his mighty fork-hand up to the
Big Show, his baggage was not
checked from Atlanta.
EMPIRE LEAGUE NOTES
Almost as fast as some teams In the
Empire change players the league’s staff
of umpires changes. McAfee and Mor
ton are the last ones to leave the staff.
Their places have been filled by Mc-
Laughlfn, formerly with the Cotton
States, and Rehbein. who was threaten
ed by a crowd of fans after a game in
Way cross last week.
* * •
It appears that Cordele possesses in
its pitching staff more than one won
der. Wilder Is leading the league in
point of games won, and Fillingen, a
spitball artist, is climbing fast and pull
ing off stunts that are startling, to say
the least of them.
• • •
The Brunswick team has gotten so re
cently that it loses an average of one
game a week by a big score, then settles
down and plays some ol the prettiest
games ever witnessed in the league.
* * *
Two of the castoffs of the Brunswick
team were signed by Waycross. and like
some of the Waycross castoffs, made
good with a rush. Jones is playing first,
Holliday, the Atlanta boy. having been
benched for the present, and Clancey is
at short doing well.
• • *
Jack Hawkins, well known In baseball
circles in Atlanta, and a member of
the Brunswick team in the Empire a
part of the season, may don a Waycross
uniform early next month.
• * •
Two triple plays during its first sea
son Ik one of the records the Empire
will har.g up when the schedule closes
in August. The first was made early
in May while Waycross and Brunswick
were playing in Brunswick, the Way-
cross players checking a rally by Bruns
wick by the triple. In a game at Cor-
<iele, the Valdosta team pulled off one
that was started when Schwartz snag
ged a liper over short.
• • •
Manager Dudley, of the Thomasvllle
team, -is hack in the game, after having
been kept out for some time by an In
jury. His absence was felt by the team,
but* according to the league standing,
his players did their best to hold their
own during his enforced absence.
* * * •
“Doc” Kenton, playing center for
Waycross, is regarded by all critics in
the league as one pf the most sensa
tional fielders in the circuit. He has as
many as eight put-outs to his credit for
a single game, and an average of half of
them would ordinarily count as hits
* • •
Lloyd Is the name of the latest addi
tion to the Waycross team. He is an
infielder, and calls Louisiana home.
* • •
Alperman, a brother of the Atlanta
second baseman, has gone to his home
in Pittsburg from Waycross. He has
been in bad condition most of the sea
son, and became so discouraged that he
decided to quit for the balance of the
season. He played in the field ; and was
a steady player.
* * *
Indications now point to Valdosta and
Cordele battling it out in September for
the pennant.
• * *
Medlock, a native Georgian, and one
of the cleverest outfielders of the league,
is now playing with Valdosta. He is
hitting well, and his fielding up to date
has been sensational. Medlock was with
Waycross for some time.
• • •
The talked about deal whereby Pitcher
Vanderlip would join the Valdosta team
did not materialize. Vanderlip has re
turned to his home in Brooklyn.
• • a
Directors of the league will hold a
meeting shortly to plan for the post
season series to determine the pennant
winner In the league. Valdosta won the
first half of the season easily, and the
second half race is as yet unsettled
• • •
There’s an old saying that you never
can tell what a ball player will do.
Dacey, playing centerfield for Americus.
jumped into the box not long ago and
has won so far four straight games for
his team. And Bitting, who joined the
Charleston South Atlantic league team
when he was turned loose by Waycross,
caught two pretty games this week.
Third base is his regular position.
• • •
The league record for consecutive wins
will probably go to Gordon, a member
of the Valdosta team This fellow has
won some of the prettiest games played
in the league, and is going to make
some higher league a marvel.

C HICAGO, ILL., July 26.—Like
Butte and some of the other
mountain cities. Denver threat.
ensVo take a prominent place in the
boxing world. They are arranging a
match there now' for the early part
of August between Leach Cross, of
New York, and Harry Trendall, the
St. Louis star, who long ‘has been
w'aiting a good chance to break in
among the favored ones of the 133-
pound division. Denver promoters
are displaying a commendable bit of
ginger and pep in their work so far,
and are bound to get the results if
they keep on going the way they
have planned. “Reddy” Gallagher
and Eddie Pitts appear to be the
prominent ones in the Mountain City
just now*.
• * •
OLORADO’S Governor failed to
s*ign a boxing bill that had been
passed, and gave the very excellent
reason that there already was a State
law that permitted bouts upon the
payment by a regularly organized
athletic club of a certain license surii.
The State’s executive could not see
why a new law was needed, and sard
so. Hence the athletic clubs of Den
ver are working along under the old
statute. They have a dandy pavilion
there, and the game seems to be in
the best of hands, po that the box
ers have a pretty good stopping place
there. Many of them are fearful of
the effects of the mile-high air. but
many others have by actual test ex
ploded this bugaboo.
• * •
C ROSS and Trendall. they say.
would draw the utmost capacity
there, and should put up one of the
best battles imaginable, as the St.
Louis lad has been going at a ter
rific clip lately. None of them has
any terrors for him right now, and
even the much-discussed Cross punch
isn’t causing the Missouri man any
wakeful nights.
• * •
p HARLEY SCULLY, a Chicago
boxer, is in Denver now, and
the other night put up a smashing
battle of ten rounds with Red Butler,
of Kansas City, that saved Piddle
Pitts* show'. It was billed as one of
the minor events, but such a corking
display of earnest w'ork did the boys
give that the fans voted it easily the
feature of the night. It was called
a draw'. On the same show. F*rank
Wh/tney. the Cedar Rapids carpenter,
and Phil Knight met in the main
event, and Frank, who has met with
a lot of misfortune lately. earn
ed a clean-cut decision over Phil, who
forgot to foul his mfin this time.
Abey Pollock, the old-time Chicago
referee, is acting in the battles out
there, and as usual he is throwing
a world of earnestness and care into
his w’ork.

TV T A TTY M’CUE. Racine’s sensa-
tional featherweight, is pluming
himself for new* conquests. Matty
was rushed through a tremendous
campaign late in the winter and
spring, and wound up with disaster.
They didn’t lick Matty, but they put
a terrible ear on him, and in addi
tion he suffered a sprained wrist. He
had these injuries when he tackled
Patsy Brannigan, of Pittsburg, in
Milwaukee, and while that doesn’t
detract at all from the game bat
tle Patsy put up. it gives Matty a
reasonable excuse to seek another
match with the little Mick.
WHITE TO MEET DUNDEE.
LOS ANGELES. July 26 —Johnny
Dundee, the New York featherweight,
who has entered the lightweight di
vision, and Jack White, of Chicago,
were matched to-day to fight twenty
rounds at catch weights at Vernon
arena the night of August 12.

PHILADELPHIA HAS FELT
the quickening pulse of the twen
tieth century. They „ mobbed the
umpire down there the other day.
BASEBALL SUMMARY
T HE planking in the great bowl
of the motordrome was not
quite dry last night, bo Jock
McNeil failed in his furious efforts
to set it afire with the revolutions
of his great racing motorcycle, J. A.
P. But Mr. McNeil did pretty w’ell
at that. He won the Marathon race
from ten riders, negotiated the 105
laps without a stumble, and traveled
at an average speed of 82 miles an
hour. . .
But that figure was nowhere near
the limit. Swinging on the turns to
circle his field, Jack caressed the high
places at a speed that could not have
been much under 100 miles an hour.
Again and again his terrific speed
brought the big crowd up standing.
About 5,000 were at the races, and
they' went away still gasping.
In spite of McNeil’s wonderful rid
ing. he had not much to spare at the
finish. His closest rival, George
Ixjckner, had been lapped only once,
and Lockner had barely lapped Hen
ry Lewis and Harry Glenn. Two oth
ers of the ten finished the grind—
Billy Shields and Freddie Luther—
but they were not in the running.
Renel’s engine blew up about the
half-way mark and Morty Graves’
machine jammed a few moments
later. Harry Schwartz came to grief
before he had gone two miles, his
engine literally coming to pieces.
While Richards did not finish the
race, his riding was a feature of the
first 17 miles, at the end of which
one of his tires exploded, one of the
miracles of the game saving him
from even an upset. He and McNeil
had a great speed duel the first half
of the distance, a/id at the end of
the fifth mile the pair had lapped all
their competitors. After Richards’
mishap McNeil rode more carefully,
Just maintaining his lead.
The rest Of the card also was good.
McNeil and Richards had It out in
the motordrome sweepstakes, Rich
ards just shoving a wheel In front of
his flying rival in the finals. The
time. 1:24 1-5,-was remarkably fast,
an average of 88.1 miles an hour. In
his mile against time Richards made
the distance in 40 4-6 seconds, two-
fifths of a second slower than the
record
In the special match race, 2 miles.
Harry’ Glenn, the local professional,
defeated Harry Swartz in straight
heats.
