THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. TRY TO STOP The Waste Ball and the Waist Ball Are Entirely Different Copjrrlfht. 1913. International News Serrlra. By Pitcher Al Demaree By Joe Agler. M obile, ala., July 29—The Gulls seemed to have such a liking for right-hand dealing that Manager Smith decided last night to flip from the other side of the deck, so he turned up George Clarke, who will work this afternoon. Dunn will catch the game out, pro vided he can control his conversation. The Jinx still pursues us. Whitey Alperman’s operation for appendicitis yesterday was said to have been just in time, and, at that, Whitey had about as close a call as possible. We hear he Is resting well to-day, and that the chances are in his favor. But. of course, he won’t be able to play ball any more this season. The Crackers held a little meeting yesterday and Billy Smith appointed Wally Smith to be field captain in Whitey*s place. Wally also will play second base, and Frank Manush will go to third. Bill Bailey's injury leaves an outfield job vacant, and Smith is going to try out a recruit from Selma in the Cotton States League; a big chap named Holz, who came along with Pitcher Love. Holz pegs right handed and hits from the port side of the platter. He is said to be a good batter and a fast fielder, and we are hoping he will help to brace our crippled line up. There isn’t much to say about the game yesterday. The Gulls got to Thompson for a big lead, and then we got to Pug Cavet and made it all square, only to lose out, 6 to 5, in the ninth inning. We did manage to deliver a kick or two, which is en couraging. Maybe we will win a ball game by one run some day. the way we have been lpsing them all lately. BOXING News of the Ring Game If you bruise your hand, you will notice that a scab forms, and when it falls off. new skin has formed. Did salve do it? No! Skin is the same as muscle, bone, sinew, ligament. All are made from the blood, from the materials that your stomach and in testines convert from food into what we call blood. And this blood circulates in the myriad of tiny blood vessels in the skin. Start from your stomach, where blood materials begin, and it won’t be long before you are free of eczema. Use S. S. S. for a short time, and not only will eczema dis appear, but the entire blood will be renewed. There is one ingredient in S. S. S. which serves the active purpose of stimulating each cellular part of the body to the healthy, Judicious selec tion of its own essential nutriment. That is why it regenerates the blood supply; why it has such a tremendous influence in overcoming eczema, rash, pimples and all skin afflictions. Get a bottle of S. S. S. at any drug etore, and you will not only feel bright and energetic, but you will be the picture of new life. S. S.

With a shot-to-pieces line-up. with Alperman in the hospital minus an appendix. Bill Bailey carrying a cou ple of ribs in a sling. Wally Smith at second base, Manush at third and Chapman playing right field without his mitt, the disheveled Smithies col lected themselves yesterday afternoon and landed a solid punch on the rev ered Pug Cavet.

But the combination, of necessity, will be unsettled for a bit. Bill Bai ley also is out of the game and a Cotton States rookie. Holz. will ap pear In right field this afternoon. Manush will play third and Wally Smith second. On the other hand, the shakeup may shift the breaks, which cer tainly haven’t been coming our way lately. Anyway, we’re in for it.

Gladys Molesvvorth Is up. and how d. h. can run at all is by us. Gladys’ managerial worries seem to sit lightly on his embonpoint. The real point, however, is that the Barons have bludgeoned their way upward from seventh place since June 8. That achievement was largely at the expense of Montgomery. Mobile. New Orleans and Memphis The lat ter pair are thrown In merely as lagnlappe, because any club that can trim the Billikens and the Gulls this year would find a pleasant relaxation playing the rest of the bunch. * * * T'HE Baronial collection is one that * might be expected to speed up toward the shank of the season. No fewer than eleven of Molesworth’s hands have worn the spangles of the big show at one time or another. Of these. Foxen, Mayer, Moley, McDonald and Kniseley moved for very re spectable periods in select company. And with the advent of the real hot ness in weather circles, and the time of year when the old strain begins to turn the edge of the younger genera tion's dash and daring, the old boys are rounding to. We decline to count Gladys out yet. * * • S WITCHING to politics, it seems Colonel Robert Lee Hedges- sometimes known as the Sick Man of Baseball because he is unfortunate enough to be responsible for the St. Louis Browns—it seem? Colonel Hedges is hedging. The report persists that the Colonel is going to finance the Montgomery club of the Southern League. He is even accused of intending to buy the, Billikens’ franchise outright. That is carrying things rather far. But the Billies need help, and Col onel Hedges can afford it, in spite of the Brown?. On the whole, intimate^ diplomatic relations between Montgomery and the Browns mightn't be a bad idea at all. If the Browns continue to evince a disposition to 'travel farther south than eighth place in the American League, Colonel Hedges might swap them for the Billikens. * * • MOW some statistician is trying to show that because New York bugs persist in packing the Polo Ground? to see the Giants clean up on the pop-eyed Cardinals, St. Louis is enabled by the cut in the "gate” to stick in the league with a club that Is totally unable to give any pangs of joy to the wretched fans on the home lot. It is said the Cardinals carried away $12,500 as their share of a re cent series at the Polo Ground?. McGraw should worry.

TENN., July 29. Fans In this burg just at pres ent are considerably worried over the possibility of Gabby Street not being with the Lookout? next season. The apparent removal of the Lookouts from the ranks of the 1913 pennant contenders has centered practically all local baseball interest on the prospects for the 1914 season. Just at present there is no deal closed for Gabby’s services for next seasbn, nor are there any which are on the verge of consummation. This is encouraging in a way. and would remove to a great extent all qualms of the local fanatic?, were it not for the fact that Gabby has stated re peatedly that he will not play an other season for the sum of $300 per. The present season has been an ex perimental one for the star receiver of the league, as he agreed to the stipend which he is receiving solely for the purpose of settling in his own mind the question of whether or not he was passed, so far as big league baseball is concerned. Gabby’s answer to the question Is that he is not through with the big ring; that Is, if ability can secure him a berth; and as a result, he is practically decided to appear in the big show next season or not at all. The one cause of Street’s drop from the majors was the rheumatism in his system, and during the last few weeks he was with Washington he was forced to go to Nova Scotia for treatment. The malady stiffened his Joints to a great degree. One year in the Southern, however, beneath the direct and beneficial rays of the, fun, has completely routed Street’s arch enemy, and to-day he i? as capable a receiver as ever he was in his career. Realizing this. Gabby is practically decided that it is the major® or nothing for him. A per manent minor league berth does not appear attractive to Charles where the maximum stipend is but $300 a month. MONDAY’S GAME. Atlanta. ab. r. h. po. a. e.

S T. LOUIS, July 29.—As I write these lines a feeling of exulta tion is upon me. I feel like shouting for very Joy. I know deep down In my heart that the Giants aro assured a third straight pen nant. and I am not so well fortified financially that the spoils of a world's merles fall to interest me. I realize that the fight is not yet won. New York has a very advan tageous lead, and should Increase rather than lose this fine advantage as the season progresses. Yet there is nothing so uncertain as baseball, and until the title Is won beyond pos sibility of refutation, I shall stand al ways ready to pitch my arm off. fig uratively. for McGraw and our cause. Personally, 1 am imbued with a de sire to win as many games as pos sible while the enemy presents some form of rebuttal to our challenge. I think I reflect the sentiments of mv teammates when I say that I would welcome even stiffer opposition than our club has encountered within the past six weeks. Victories easily earned are not of a nature to, develop the very best form for the classic struggle in Oc tober. And it is to the world’s series, rather than a league championship, that McGraw and my fellows are bending every energy. Some people may try to tell you that there 1? no sentiment in profes sional sport. I do not believe that this applies to baseball, at any rate. We all like to do well In our chosen profession. But I am certain as can be that the great majority of the Giants think more of the opportunity for a world’s championship pennant than of the money entailed in the struggle for such. Third Try at Title. We just naturally feel that we owe It to McGraw and to our most en thusiastic ?upporters. The past two years we have been disappointments, even to ourselves. And the prospect of a third trial this fall has been one of the chief spurs to our ambition from the start of the season. My club is so determined to annex the greatest honor? of baseball this fall that the boys will be scarcely able to hold up their heads for shame If we are disappointed the third straight time. And. believe me, there is some consolation, In dollars and cents, for the losing end. It might sound like braggadocio were I at this time to make any predictions as to the outcome of the world's .“eries, especially as the Giants have not yet cinched their claim to the National League title. Yet I believe 1 may be pardoned a guess as to the ultimate winner in our set. For six weeks we have set as rapid a pace as any major league club has shown within the past decade. And we have done this without the ac customed deadly hitting of our gal- DON’T BE TORTURED Erw»m» ran be lnxtantlv relieved and per manently cured. Read what J. R. \l unveil, Atlanta. Ga., says.

Have Score With Athletics. New York, at least, has as good a chance to figure in the world’s series as have the Athletics, and few at this moment are prepared to deny Connie Mack’s claim to such distinc tion From a financial aspect there might be more affable opposition, so far as we are concerned. A New York-Chicago or a New York-Cleveland tilt would undoubt edly attract more gate money be cause Quaker Town has not only been pretty well glutted with Ath letic triumphs, hut is in addition at heart a 25-cent patronage. If the question were merely one of a straight pennant,, and I had the selection of an opponent in the world’s series*, I should choose none other than Mack’s Athletics. All we GiRnts feel that we have a score to settle for our disappoint ment of the cast two seasons.

I sincerely hope that he majk though, his presence might reasonably be sup posed to work to our disadvantage if we happen to be lucky enough to tilt with Philadelphia in the great classic this fall. Coombs is one of the finest pitchers in the business. If the Giants are to meet the Athletics, every one of us wishes Mack’s men to be possessed of every po*?lble strength. We have never offered an alibi, and if we win we wish to win against the very best that the foe can present. TIGERS BUY PITCHER. ASHEVILLE. N. C.. July 29.—Rus sell Betsill. of Enoree, S.
