S ide-stepping for the moment the somewhat scrambled mana gerial lay-out in our own tight little league, and placing a large and furry ear in immediate proximity to the Red Old Hills "-f Georgia, we are able to discern distant rumblings from the general direction of Chicago. It listens to the effect that .Take Stahl shortly is to welcome distin guished company in the recently or ganized club of Canned Managers. Jimmv Callahan, of the White Sox, and Johnny Evers, of the Cubs, are to be up for membership. * • • A LSD Thomas Chivlngton. president ** of tme American Association, who likewise lives and moves and opens his protests in Chicago. We don’t know that anybody in this precinct is likely to get much het up over the prospective skids for Mr. Chivington, so long as he doesn’t come down here and start an in surrection. But there will he a good deal of interest In the fate of the Silent Tro jan and the man who could see $18,500 in Larry Chappelle. • * • C ALLAHAN’S case Is something brand new, while Evers’ has been growling and chirping alternately since before. the present season opened. Cal is simply getting the hot epd of it from the bugs, the same as any manager in a town accustomed to a winning ball club, when his bunch falls into a losing streak. The bleacher experts In particular are after his scalp. But that is only incidental. It is said that Callahan’s manner of handling his men. always sharp and dictatorial, is rapidly getting to the bullying and bulldozing stage. If that is true, it is a serious state of affairs. Most ball players are led and kidded, not abused and nagged, into playing their best. A sore bunch of ball players of the best class will put up a much sorrier fight than an in ferior team, working and pulling to gether. and fighting the enemy intead of the manager. • • • S WITCHING to Evers, however, we find our o. f., Chubby Cholly Muffy, standing all puffed up in the spotlight and Insisting he likes a scrappy club and a scrappy manager. “I want them to fight—fight each other—fight the manager—fight the EXCURSION weep of the east- lited States and of Canada.

And it is recalled that Roger Bres- nahan still is with the Cubs—and that Rajah was pretty well understood to be taken over with the idea that if J. Evers didn’t deliver a pennant, he (Rajah) was to have a crack at it. We don’t know about that, except this much: J. Evers won’t win the pennant this year. • * • A ND about Johnny. He’s a grand little ball player, but his unruly talking apparatus is getting him in bad. Getting him in worse, it might better be said. The most ardent Cub fans are get ting arcKyid to where they want John ny to play ball. They want him to stay in the game and not spend hie valuable time debating with the um pires and walking to the clubhouse. Johnny may change his tactics. And he may not. • • * F ROM what We can gather at this distance, the following points appear in evidence: The One-Run Jinx sticks on the job. Providence has its arms around Fleharty. If Slim Love was looking for a fine place to blow, he certainly found it; also, he did a good job of blowing. The Volunteers’ position in the league standing should be reversed, if the game yesterday was a fair sam ple of their luck. Bill Smith had better begin cop pering his own bets. In the last four games he has left Thompson and Love in too long and Dent not long enough. But. at that, had Billy’s maneuvers turned out the other way, the bugs would have been wagging their al leged domes of thought and talking about what a wise manager he was. We still have a chance to make the trip all square at Nashville. WOLGAST AND RITCHIE IN A MATCH FOR COMING FALL LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9 -Tom Jones is authority for the statement that Champion Willie Ritchie will be seen in action wfih Ad Wolgast here the last of October or some time in November. “It is possible,’’ Jones says, “that they may not get together before Thanks giving, but a return match will be staged here about that time, unless ne gotiations fall through entirely.’’ Ad and Tom Jones arrived In town yesterday morning. It is understood that McCarey will make a strong bid for the match and both Ritchie and Wolgast have signified their willingness j to be here should the terms be satis- J factory. TEAMS TO PLAY OFF TIE. There will be a battle royal to-day when the Hallet & Davis and Atlanta National Bank teams of the Manufac turers' League, tie up in the play-off of a tie which now exists between them for first honors. The game will be played at Tenth and Boulevard and called at S:30 o’clock. TO PUT WELL By Chirk Evans. C HICAGO, Aug 9.—An article in the August Century Magazine by Marshall Whitlack. entitled “Mind verjsus Muscle in Golf” seems to have attracted much attention. Mr. Whitlack has developed a new theory of play and applied it to his own game. The result has been a marked improvement in his scores. He be lieves that good golf is played through the lower nerve centers and motor channels, while poor golf is due to the direct interference of the brain or consciousness. “Apparently we play our good golf in a subconscious condition.” he says, “and that is why all interruptions are so disastrous to one’s game. Accord ing to this theory one must depend upon muscular sense and the pre liminary waggle assumes unusual Im portance, as the right feel must be obtained in action, the waggle must be continued until the muscles feel the balance and poise of the body while in motion.” The chief idea of the whole theory seems to be that the ball must be ad dressed In motion and not in repose, because in the latter condition the muscles will set and stiffen to the detriment of one's game. So much for the theory. The,other day I met Mr. McCordic, one of Skokie’s most prominent golfers, and he asked me if I had read the Cen tury article. He and Douglass Smith read it last Friday night. Saturday morning they went out and made 75 and 77, and attributed that good score to the new idea. • * • US MUDD, one of Beverly’s golf- ^ J ers. has sent me the following question: “What is the penalty when caddy goes into bunker with player In match play or qualifying round?” I am not an authority on rules, but I have never heard of any penalty attaching to such an act. I consulted Tom Bendelow. who assnjres me there is no such penalty. If by chance he is mistaken I should be glad to hea from other golfers. The reason I do not think there is any such ruling as Indicated by the question is the enormous size of the bunkers in Great Britain. If a caddy could not go into such a bunker It w'ould work great hardship upon the player. • • • C APTAIN R. H. PETERS, a civil war veteran, and an enthusiastic member of the Ravenswood Goif Club, made a wonderful shot on his home course the other day. He was about twenty yards from the fourth green and his ball lay In a grassy hollow and he had to use a well- lofted club to get out. Undismayed, the captain caught the ball deftly and landed it in the hole. It was a very unu5*ual shot and Captain Peters has every reason to be proud of his achievement. Schwartz Wants to Quit Vols •{•••S- +•+ +•+ +•+ •£•+ Hirsig Stingy With “Coin Bag” By Paul W. Treanor. N ashville, tenn., Aug. 9 — Flying distress signals from every mast, leaking from stem to stern, the poor old hulk in which the Vols have been floundering about in the rough seas has been deserted by the Voltown bugs, and inquiring glances are being turned to a new and up to.date craft to be launched next season Every hope of landing in even decent company has been aban doned and the only thing left to con sider Is the building up of a club, out of entirely new material. On top of the multitude of woes of the Schwartzmen, who have expe rienced the most appalling disasters on their road trips, comes the well- defined gossip that the Boy Manager has thrown up the sponge and a?«ked to be relieved of the managerial wor ries in 1914. To the thousands of fans who have long been clamoring for Bill Schwartz’s scalp the news will be hailed with wild delight, while to a few more thousand who will never believe that Bill has had a fair chance, his resignation will be a tough blow. The latter clan are asking just who will be the Moses to lead the Vols back to the top rung of the ladder, of which they clambered by only a toe hold, back in 1908 when Bill Bernhard was the pilot. Where are they going to find a leader who can produce better results than Bill Schwartz, when one pauses to analyze the bunch of has-been and discards with which he has been forced to fight, and echo, always on the job, cuts in 'With the well-known answer. Hirsig Pleads With Manager. President Hirsig, according to the dope going the rounds, has pleaded with the boy pilot to reconsider his retirement from the game and direct the club next season frofn the bench, at the same time offering Bill a mighty fat job in the big garage which the Alibi Boss Is building. Bill Is a big ace wherever tires and auto mobiles are concerned and can hook himself on to a soft Job any time he wants to send his uniform to a mu seum. If anything will prevail upon Schwartz to once more head the Vols. it is going to be the sting of past defeats which prod his ambition to bring a flag to Voltown, for no man lives who can brand the boy manager as a quitter. The time for post-mortems passed long ago. likewise the weeps over the upset milk can, but Hirsig doesn't know as much about ball players and how the game should be played as a sparrow’ does about the Panama toll argument, and he Just naturally can’t keep from Jabbing h7* fins In the pie and deciding on the merits of ball tossers, some thousand mile# or more away from his office. The Murphy of Southern League. The man who PRESENTED Harry Welchonce to the Trackers, who passed up a chance early in the year to grab off Third-sacker Dodge from the Reds, when they were crazy to get rid of him. who handed down ad verse weighty (?) opinions on pitch ing deals, when the slabbers were cracking, wa# Hirsig. Time without number he meddled and wrecked the club’s chances, for the Charles Webb Murphy of the Southern League is about the best little meddler at large When the Vols, after a grueling drive and fighting on sheer nerve, crawled into second place, Bill Schwartz, realizing the club was skat ing on thin ice, went to his boss on his knees for help, pointed out the weak places and faltering twirlers, And did Hirsig heed the warning? With padlocks that would baffle a burglar’s kit, he clamped the lid on the strong box and laughed at the fears of the Vols ever slumping. Some, wMth more sentiment than brains, are gaping their heads off for Artie Hofman to be elevated from the ranks, but you can go broke that the former Cub wouldn’t touch th« leadership if Schwartz has any no tion of leading another forlorn hope, and even If Bill should lay the span gles aside. Circus Solly is far too wise a ball player to allow the present flock of Vols to bo saddled off on him and put more gray hairs on his scalp. CHURCH BALL PLAYER UNRULY. CAMBRIDGE, OHIO, Aug 9.—J.

The Pueblo fireman was knocked down four times In the fifth round, and was battered fiercely throughout the battle after the opening session. Smith weighed 183 1-2 pounds and Flynn was five pounds heavier. He started rushing at the first gong and crowded Smith back to his corner, working short-arm Jabs to the body. Smith broke away and straightened his adversary up wdth a savage right uppercut. Then he managed to keep the fireman away from him and Jabbed him enough to even things in that round. ' y Smith continued the same tafctics In the next three rounds, keeping Flynn away from him and Jabbing him vi ciously. In the fifth round 1 the Gun boat stopped a fierce swing with his ribs, and on recovering he sailed In savagely with a hail of right and left Jabs, followed by a right uppercut flush on the jaw that sent the fireman down for the count of eight. He got up and was knocked down again, and when this had been repeated twice more, Joh stopped the fight.
