Giants and Sox May Play Here
By 0. B. Keeler.
O NE morfe vindication of the the
ory that the conventional man
ner of prorating a double-
header is for each side to take one.
It was largely a matter of pitchers.
In the first game Joe Conzelman
w’asn’t eiuite so good as Floyd Kroh,
and in the aftermath, Gilbert Price
plus Elliott Dent, had a thin eldge on
Howell and Coveleskie.
The fact that the tall Pole was sum
moned again from the lumber yard
testifies to the gentle affection for the
Crackers that abounds in the shadow
of Lookout Mountain.
The Tabasco Kid was doing his
durndest to beat us all two of the
games.
And quite properly.
Let's trim ’em fighting, or get
trimmed tl e same way.
That’s what makes baseball worth
while.
* * ♦
W E are going to have some distin
guished company in a few days.
Ted Sullivan, one-time Southern
Leaguer and now managing director
of the Giants-White Sox world tour,
is In New Orleans to-day arranging a
lease on the Pelicans’ ball park for
an exhibition game late in October.
Mr. Sullivan expects to visit Bir
mingham and Mobile on a similar
mission. And then he is coming to
Atlanta.
Would Atlanta fans care to watch
the White Sox and the Giants play
ball?
We pause for no answer.
...
M AJOR CALLAWAY, home again
from Chattanooga, says Re
hasn't heard anything about the
proposed visitation, but doesn’t
see anything in the way of pulling
it off. The president of the Crackers
fancies there should be no trouble
in arranging to let the big Ieagu»rs
have Ponce DeLeon Park as a battle
ground.
And he is of the opinion that it
would be some considerable drawing
card.

I T is rumored that Jud Daley, left
fielder for the Vols, may wear
an Atlanta uniform soon. The
understanding hereabout is indefinite,
ami P1U Smith probably will make
the decision while in Nashville on
the series beginning to-day.
Dalev is a good ball player and is
I very popular in Atlanta, but it ap
pears unlikely that the Atlanta club
| will take him on if anything sub-
j stantial has to be paid for him.
If it comes about that Judson is
available for his stipend alone, he
may but into the present seria3
against his old friends.

H ERE’S one we lamp from up Syra
cuse-way, in the New York State
League:
j An umpire named Harrison lmd
a tumultuous rur-in with a ball player
working under the entire misnomer of
Good. Good had tried to steal third
and was tagged when about fifteen
feet off the bag.
True to his reputation. Good let
out an awful yelp and the fans an
swered the call of the wild.
“You’re out of the game!” the um
pire ordered.
Good declined to s«ee it that way.
“Get out of the lot,” was the next
command.
Good stayed where he was as If he
had taken root.
Harrisfln called a big cop. standing
in the crowd near the bleachers.
“Take that man off the field.” he
directed.
The cop shook his head. “Nope.”
he said firmly.
Harrison was outraged. “Y o u
won't?” he roared, “And why not?”
“He wasn’t out,” said the cop. And
he stuck to it.
* * *
XCE more is the eternal and
Emersonian law of oompemia-
tion glutted with justification.
For weeks the sport columns have
echoed with the piteous roars of 1*'.
Chance, sometime Peerless Leader. It.
seems Mr. Chance swapped Hal Chase
for Zeider and Horton, of the White
Sox, with the idea that Rollie was
sound in wind and limb and his stide-
kick able to swing on the pill like a
garden gate.
We gather from the twittering that
Mr. Zeider was afflicted with a bun
ion and had to do his running on one
side, while Mr. Horton's batting re
sembled the performance of the old
est inhabitant of the Soldiers’ Home
killing flies with a newspaper.
So.
Rut now comes Mr. Callahan, who
lately paid $18,500 in Comiskey coin
and White Sox players for Larry
Chappelle.
"He’s got a warped knee and a kink
in his hip,” wails Jimmy, “and he had
’em when I got him!”
Mr. Chance should lie awake nigh'.s
and grieve.
Great Tribute Paid
Hal Chase by Harry
Lord, of White Sox
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. — Harry
Lord, the White Sox captain, discuss
ing first basemen to-day. paid a great
tribute to Hal (’base. Here is what
the third baseman of the White Sox
has to say about the former Yankee
player:
“Chase will save any inflelder thirty
errors in a season if the pair would
work together through the year. Look
what Chase did for me in the one
game at St. Louis. I would have had
two black mark's to my discredit on
that day. The papers would have
said Lord’s errors were responsible
for the White Sox losing to the
Browns 6 to 3, or something like that.
With Chase over there we don’t have
to worry. We can.field the ball, shut
our eyes, and make a throw. «nd he
.'^11 get it some w ay or other. ’
PLAIN NUTTY.
He'd seen upon the sport page
The ican that Tp Cobh cottars.
And alt the other dope that deals
With betting odds and dollars;
With gate receipts, percentages,
Expenses, kicks and hollers.
And then he put a question:
His friends were filled with
gloom.
With sorrow did they cast him
Into a padded room.
He'd asked : “Is there a sport gup
Not out for the mazumet”

NO CHANCE FOR LAJ0IE TO
LEAVE NAPS, SAYS BARNARD
CLEVELAND. OHIO. Aug. 7.—An ab

Boston and Cleveland teams are arrang
ing a three-cornered deal which will
take Second Baseman Lajoie awy from

ALLIS STARTED
PLAYING GOLF
! BASEBALL
^Diamond News and Gossip
N EW YORK, Aug. 7.—Ned Allis,
who was runner-up in the West
ern Golf Association at Chicago
and in the sensation in the Western
golf world, began to play golf when
he was only five years old, taking
part in a tournament that year, with
his father as tutor It was not until
four or five years ago. however, that
Ned began to come to the front with
the older men.
His first public performance of con
sequence was in an invitation tourna
ment held by the Milwaukee Country
Club In which he met Harold Wyatt,
of Fond du Lac. The two youngsters
then only 17 years olrl, gave the fast
est exhibition of match play of the
enlirc tournament.
Allis is a very fine putter, as %nay
be neen by the fact that in his match
against R. A. Gardner, ex-national
champion, in the semi-final at Home-
wood. Allis had onlv 27 puts for the
18 holes of the morning round.
To learn how a gblfor’s game may
improve in a f»w months one has but
to consult the United States Golf As
sociation’s handicap rating list for
1913. There Allis is placed among the
handicap five men. Among the others
in the five list are Devereux Lord,
the three-time winner of The Brook-
Ivn Eagle trophy; B. T. Allen. Fox
Hills; Chisholm Beach, Fox Hills;
S I) Bowers, Brooklawn; T. V. Ber-
mingham. Wykagyl; James R. Hyde.
South Shore; Philip Carter. Nassau.
Metropolitan Junior champion; Max
R. Marston, Baltusrol, interscholastic
champion; c H. Seely, ex-Metropoli-
tan champion, and others. Allis would
more likely be handicapped at 2, or 3.
at least.
The onlv time that Metropolitan
District golfers have feen the quality
of Allis’ golf was at Lakewood. N. J.,
on April 17-19. last. Here Allis just
fell outside the medal prize in the
qualifying round by a c ingle stroke,
tying with Walter J. Travis, of Gar
den City, at 78. W’hile H. K. Kerr.
South Shore, got the best card with
a 77.
Allis lasted till the semi-final, when
he was defeated by Horace C. Cook,
of Trenton the youthful player from
Trenton, N J.. who. in the afternoon
final with Travis, held the former in
ternational champion at evens till a
penalty stroke at the seventeenth hole
threw him off his game on the horn**
hole, the match going to Travis by
two up. On IPs way to the semi
final Allis had beaten J F. Shanley.
the best of the Deal players.
Since Allis first swung a club at the
age of five, he has been carefully
coached by his father. Louis Allis, who
firmly believes that his boy will some
day be the premier amateur golfer
of the world. •
Manager Frank Chance, of the New
York Yankees, has shifted his line-up so
as to send in Cook and Williams, the
two recruits from the Texas League,
fins afternoon. Williams is a first base
man a%d Cook a fielder.

Love or Elliott Dent, life-saver
in yesterday’s second game, w ill
be shot at the Vols this afternoon,
with ChapmAn back of the wood. Dent
looked great In his one and one-third
innings yesterday, and Love seems to
have got over his slight touch of ill
ness.
The Crackers got an even break in
the twin bill yesterday and also on
the series at Chattanooga. Joe Con-
zelrnan lost the first game, 4 to 2, and
It ought to have been a shut-out for
him. Manush was in right field and
misjudged two long fly balls, one of
which went for a triple and the other
for a home run.
We had no luck at bat. Twice with
the bases full and only one dow’n,
Dunn hit Into a double play. Chap
man was sent in to bat for Conzelman
In the ninth and whaled a home run
far over the fence, hut nobody was
on the towpath.
In the second game we got to
Grimes early and got a nice lead.
Howell came on and pitched well un
til he was taken out for a pinch hitter.
Then we had another chance at th<
Rig Pole, and we nicked him for two
runs, wihch won the game. Price
pitched well until the eighth when a
savage batting rally chased him from
the rubber. Elliott Dent stopped the
Vole and saved the game.
We play here four games, including
the disputed one. which probaljy will
be played Sunday. Harry Holland
batted for a percentage of .500 yes
terday. He looks better every day,
and is stinging the ball hard. All
he lacks is a little experience, and he
is getting that fast.
