Just a Little Glimpse Below the Surface Kniseley on Southern Hurlers +•■!• +•+ +•+ +•+ Explains Peculiarity of Hitters I LOVE TO PITCH -klJTK KNJSE1.EY, outfielder for BirmliiKhem. undertakes lo ex plain the good ehowin* some of the pitehera make In this circuit, only to fall down when they get into the bl* ahow; also why Southern leairuere hit well in the majors. Hays Fete: 'The Southern League Is the hard est place In the country to hat up in the 300 Hal No wonder a player hits higher In the major league than in the Southern. In the majors, the pitchers do not exert themselves until real danger faces them. When the game Is pro gressing without heavy hitting, the pitchers serve the hall over and give you a chance to swat It, hoping thnt It will go Into one of the fielders' hands. 1*lit not here. From the beginning of the gam > until the finish, the Southern League pitchers work at top speed As the result, the hatter has a poorer op portunity to make a high mark. Hut 1 attribute the many ascensions In the Southern to this fact I'nless a man is of wonderful physique, he is un able to twirl nine Innings, putting bis greatest effort on every toss. There are a few who are able to stand the pnee. Elmer Brown Is a twirler of this class, while Bill (’rough is an other “But the average pitcher is able to stand the gufT for six or seven in nings Then when tie weakens the batters feast on the offerings and fre quently drive him from the mound. But. of course, there are clever pitch ers in the Southern. Hardgtove and Foxen do not pitch hard until there is danger nnd are very successful •I believe that a 300 batsman In the Southern can duplicate Ihe feat In the majors '' • * • K niseley speaks truly both in respect to th* pitching and bat ting. It has Ion* been noted as a pe culiar fact that recruits from the Southern League and th«* Pacific Coast league seldom have batted less in the majors than in the minors Under ordinary circumstances, it would be fair to discount the average recruit's minor league batting by 10 to 20 points when he get# to the* real class, but Daubert and Wheat both have batted better in fast company than they did in the bushes; Charles Stengel has become one of the heav iest clouters in the National and Red Smith is holding his own. All of them are from the Southern, and probably Kniseley has the right answer. The explanation of the ability of c«»ast leaguers to hit in the ma jors up to their Coast standards has j been that the heavy winds in some j cities and the dampness in others on the ('oast keep the batting down to a minimum, and a man who can hit in that country can hit anywhere. • • * r HE tendency of young pitchers from the South to throw their ! whole strength into every ball deliv ered has also been noted by many | observers. Brooklyn l as an illustra tion of that very mistake in Frank Allen, who persists in working with all his might in every inning, with the result that when he is in a tight place he has comparatively little reserve strength with which to extricate him self. An even more pronounced case of the same sort was furnished by Bill Burns, who is a native of Texas, hut got his start on the ('oast. Bill was one of the most powerful men that ever broke into baseball, but he did not know how to conserve his en ergy. He was at different periods with Washington, Detroit and Cin cinnati, and with all ids record was the same. Hq had the habit of blow ing up at the end of the seventh or eighth inning, and, if the game ever went more than nine innings, it was a dead sure bet that Bill had nothing but his glove and spikes left for the tent h. Nap Rucker used to fall for the same foolish policy in his ('allow days, but Nap has become old and wise and uses no more exertion now than is necessary, although he ad mits it took years for tlie light to break on him. IVTGRAW HINTS THAT GOLF COST MATHEWSON BEATING PITTSBURG, PA.. Aug 8. -One of Giants was asked Just before the New York team left Pittsburg for Cin cinnati why McGraw did not take i Mathewson out of the box in the fifth j inning Wednesday, when seven runs were batted off his delivery. I think Mac wanted to impress something on Christy.” said the Giant. “McGraw has been arguing all along against his pitchers playing gulf. He does not object to the sport for in fielders or outfielders, hut he claims it does the pitchers no good, and he has tried to make Matty cut it out. McGraw claims that handling a golf stick tires the muscles in a pitchers hands and wrists.” JACK JOHNSON BARRED FROM BOXING IN PARIS . Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. PARIS. Au*. S.—Jack Johnson will not bf> permitted to box in this coun try. The “American Boxing Federa tion'' has requested the French Fed eration ot prohibit Johnson, the American negro puKllist. from fl*ht- inK in France and that body has de rided to grant the request. FIGHT MANAGER IMPROVING. rilll'ACiO, ILL.

Is recovering so rapidly that lie Intends making the trip to Winnipeg on August 14 to he with Steve Ketche! for his tight there. Doc Briggs performed the operation, and it was very successful. [ By .Top Agler. N ashville, tenn., Aug. 8.— Manager Smith hasn’t decided whether Thompson or Love will pitch against the Vols to-day, but it will be one of them. Slim is eager for another crack at the enemy, and is sure he can lick them with out trohue. Chapman will catch. We lost another tough one yester day, and It looks as if the jinx was closing in on us again. With the score tied up in the tenth Inning. Dent was taken out to allow Price, a left hander, to pitch to Callahan and Spratt, both batting on that side, with Williams on second and one out. The move looked like the proper noe, bue Callahan spoiled every thing with a Jong drive that scored Williams and knock us out of a hard- fought game. Dent pitched his usual fine game, and Harry Holland’s hit drove in our only tally. Yesterday was "Business Men’s Day,” and there was a big parade of automobiles, and the players of both teams and a band. About 4.000 w r ere at the park, where some field day events were put on before the game. Tommy Long beat Dave Callahan in the 100-yard dash, doing it in 11 sec onds. which is some fast time without sprinting togs on. Harry Chapman won the throwing contest from Smith, of Atlanta, and Young and Beck, of Nashville. JOCKEY CLAIMS HE WAS OFFERED $1,000 TO‘PULL’ SARATOGA. N. Y„ Aug. 8—Jockey Wilson threw a commotion into sporting circles here to-day by de claring that he had been approached with an offer of a bribe to throw a race recently at the Belmont track meeting. The stewards refused to comment upon it. as the matter will be sifted by the officials. The story involves another jockey, a friend of Wilson who acted as an intermediary, and a well-known Bowery politician. Wilson's specific statement was to the effect that a man named Reed who has been warned off the track a number of times, approached him at the Belmont track and offered him $1,000 to pull Working Lad in a race on June 24. The stewards, it is said, have exonerated Wilson. No action has as yet been taken against the Bowery politician, but it is known that if he can not clear himself he will be asked to absent himself in fu ture from all meetings given* under the association's auspices.

COLE QUITS COLUMBUS TEAM: MAY JOIN FEDERALS COLUMBUS, OHIO, Au*. 8.—Be- cause Manager Hinchman fined and chased him off the field here, after Umpire Cahill had lifted him from the game. “King" Cole to-day assert ed that he was done with pitching for the Columbus team. He says he’s go ing to a nunnamed Federal League club. TOMMY DIXON FALLS FROM RING IN SEVENTH ROUND JOPLIN, MO., Aug. 8.—An injury received by Tommy Dixon, of Kansas City, during a fight here last night with Freddie Cole, of Indianapolis, caused the contest, scheduled for fif teen rounds, to terminate in the sev enth round. Dixon fell through the ropes to the floor, injuring his arm. RED SOX RECALL PLAYERS. BOSTON^ Aug. 8.—The Boston Red Sox to-day exercised their right of option on three players in the Ameri can Association. Infielder Krug, of the Indianapolis team, and Infielder Scott and Pitcher Brant, of St. Paul, recently sold with the right of re purchase, were recalled. DENT PUSSES 3 BATTERS 1 53 INNINGS W HEN Elliott Dent walked Jack Spratt in the first inning of yesterday’s game in Nashville, the Atlanta pitcher interrupted slight ly the progress of a very fine bit of record-making In this league. It was his third base on balls in fifty-three innings. Before the game started yester day, Dent’s record, beginning July 18. was two bases on balls in forty-four innings. This included a "long run” of thirty-three innings, or practically three full games, without a walk be ing issued. The big right-hander is going at top speed just now, and his control is well-nigh perfect. He doesn't get l\imself in the hole very often, either, and it is a rare thing for the batsman to be able to take a tight grip on terra firma and wait confidently for the next one to come over. Only the toughest kind of luck and very feeble bitting support cost the big boy an- other win yesterday. RED SOX RECALL FOUR; BUY CATCHER M'NALLY Food for Sport Fans L By GEORQI ft. PH AIR. BOSTON, Aug. 8—The Boston Red Sox to-day exercised their right of option on three players in the Ameri can Association. Inflelder Krug, of the Indianapolis team, and Infielder Scott and Pitcher Rrantt, of St. Paul, rec ently sold with the right of repur chase, were recalled. Michael J. McNally, shortstop for the Utica team, New York State League, also was bought by the Red Sox. HOW SWEET. How sweet to be a manager and run a baseball team— At least when you are winning games it is a blissful dream. But when the team is losing, is his job a thing of jog? Oi yoi, Oi goi, Oi yoi, Oi yoi, Oi yoi, Oi yoi, Oi yoU Whether Ed Reulbach or Eddie Stack is the better athlete is yet to be de termined, but It is a well-known fact that the Cubs never again will own Reulbach’s equal as a badger fighter. We are in receipt of a song written by that far-famed pugilist, Packey McFar land. The song is entitled, “I’d Like to Know.” So would a whole lot of pro moters, pugilists, managers and other insects. Not that we are an expert on song- ology, but after reading Mr. McFar land’s ballad we are convinced that he is a lightweight. If Joe Jackson were to do all his bat ting at Shlbe Park he would be chased to the minors or (worse yet) to St. Louis. ft is said that the said Joe Jackson has hit over .400 at the White Sox Park this season. Joe never would be mis- I taken for a White Sock—not even by a blind man. There is charity even in baseball. For instance. Tom Lynch has handed a pro tested game to Joe Tinker. Horace Rogel avers that he wants to put a baseball team in New York. This leads one to suspect that Horace has not heard of the adventures of Frank Chance. Washington fans having presented Walter Johnson with a loving cup filled with money, it is said that Columbus fans will hand King Col© a shaving mug filled with lather. It is said that fighters can’t come back, but every day we note other wise. For instance, there is Jack Hei- men, the heavyweight. As he was leav ing the place some philanthropist said: “Wait a minute. Jack! We’re goipg to buy another.” He came back.

LOB ANGELES. Aug. 8.—Promoter McCaxey last night received messages from Sam Langford and Joe Jeannette accepting his terms for a twenty-round bout. In all probability the date set for the heavyweight event will be Octo ber 7. “I would like to see the question of supremacy between Langford and Jean nette settled.” explained the promoter "That’s my reason for making the match.
