A COUPLE of days ago the papers carried a bit of baseball news to the effect that Edward Reulbach had been traded by the Cubs for Eddie Stack, of Brooklyn. Of Itself, that wasn't a very ex citing bit of Information. Neither Mr. Stack nor Mr. Reulbach haa been exceeding apy, speed limits this year —even in Philadelphia. Rut aside from that— Say did you notice a queer little nip of regret when you read that small item? • • • tT Just marked the passing of one * more of the few remaining origi nal Cubs; the wonderful clan gath ered by Frank Selee and molded by Frank Chance into what many will always believe to have been the great est baseball machine of all time. And those who sing the praises of the Ath letics and the rest have at last to admit that Connie Mack and the others have yet to w in 116 games in a season. • • • B UT that's by the way. | You remember the Original (^ubs, don’t you? Let’s see—can wr | recall the line-up of the smashing years of 1906-7-8?

"Losing ’Em by One Run." it appears from a somewhat scramble^ telegraphic account that Bill Smith and Gilbert Price came to gether In a bean-on collision -after yesterday’s game in Nashville. Price appears to have been the one to bounce back. In fact, the report has it that Smith ordered him out of his uniform Indefinitely. The row was about the curve ball Price dealt to Callahan in the tenth inning, on which Dave Callahan dou bled for the winning run. At this distance, far be it from us to make wise criticisms of either Price or his manager. Except this much. If Price crossed up the manager on explicit instructions, he deserves all he got. On the other hand, if Smith took out on his pitcher the soreness Inci dent to losing a hard-fought battle— Price having been sent in cold and doing his best—it looks as if the uanager was overly severe.

Just a Little Glimpse Below the Surface Kniseley on Southern Hurlers •!*•*!• +#+ +t+ Explains Peculiarity of Hitters I -vETE KNISELEY, outfielder for Birmingham, undertakes to ex plain the good showing some of the pitchers make In this circuit, only to fall down when they get into the big show; also why Southern leaguers hit well In the majors. Says Pete: "The Southern League Is the hard est place in the country to bat up in the .300 list. 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 ball over and give you a chance to swat it. hoping that it will go into one of the fielders’ hands. But not here. From the beginning of the game until the finish, the Southern League pitchers work at top speed. As the result, the batter has a poorer op portunity to make a high mark. Hut I attribute the many ascensions In the Southern to this fact. Unless a man is of wonderful physique, he Is un able to twirl nine innings, putting his greatest effort on every toss. There are a few who are able to stand the pace. Elmer Brown is a twirler of this class, while Bill Prough is an other. "But the average pitcher Is able to stand the gait for six or seven in nings. Then when he weakens the hatters feast on the offerings and fre quently drive him from the mound. But. of court e. there are clever pitch ers in the Southern. Hardgrove and Koxen do not pitch hard until there Is danger and are very successful. "I believe that a 300 batsman in the Southern can duplicate the feat in the majors." * • • T/’NISELEY speaks truly both In respect to the pitching; and bat ting. It has long been noted as a pe culiar fact that recruits from the Southern League and the Pacific Coast League seldom have hatted 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 gets to the real ‘class, but Daqbert and Wheat both have hatted 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 j of Coast leaguers to hit in the ma- : jors up to their Coast standards has I been that the heavy winds in some , cities and the dampness in others on i the Coast keep the batting down to a minimum, and a man who can hit In 1 ihat country can hit anywhere. • • • 'THE tendency of young pitchers * from the South to throw their | whole strength into every hall deliv- i ered jias also been noted by many observers. Brooklyn has 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, but got his start on the Coast. 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 his. record was the same. H e 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 tenth. Nap Rucker used to fall for the same foolish policy in his callow 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 the light to break on him. J0RD1 CROWD NESTED Votes Pour in Fast as Popularity Race Nears End—Five More Days Left. O M’GRAW HINTS THAT GOLF COST MATHEWSON BEATING PITTSBURG, PA., Auk 8—One of Giants was asked just before the New York team left Pittsburg for Cin cinnati why McC.raw did not take Mathewson out of the box in the fifth inning Wednesday, when seven runs were hatted off his delivery. "1 think Mac wanted to impress something on Christy." sa4d the Giant. "McGraw has been arguing all along against his pitchers playing golf. He does not object to the sport for in fielders or outfielders, but 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, Aug. 8.—Jack Johnson will not be permitted to box in this coun try. The “American Boxing Federa tion’’ has requested the French Fed eration ot prohibit Johnson, the American negro pugilist, from fight ing in France and that body has de cided to grant the request. NLY five more chances for cou pons, fans. Do your clipping early. The contest ends Wed nesday noon, August 13. When it ends the last coupon in the Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Geor- | gian’s baseball contest will appear in this paper. Dick Manchester still maintains his lead, although admirers of Otto Jor dan and "Goat" Holliday are fighting like mad to obliterate the margin and throw their favorite into the . lead. The race is drawing to a close, but it has lost none of its speed and ex citement. Great bundles of coupons are coming in to the Baseball Popu larity Editor daily in the dash for votes, and the leaders will probably have their last week’s totals doubled when the final count is attained. All Americus is clipping for Man chester. He holds first place and his followers are breaking their necks to keep him there. Will they succeed? Time only will tell. There’s a coupon in to-day’s pa per. Find it on the sporting page and send it in. There'will he another in to-morrow’s paper. Help your fav orite player, be he from Thomasvilie, Americus, Valdosta or Waycross, win The Hearst Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian’s loving cup and the honor of being the most popular play er in the Empire State League. FIGHT MANAGER IMPROVING. CHICAGO, ILL., Aug. 8.—Larney Lichtenstein, local manager of fight ers, who on Monday underwent an operation at the Alexfan Brothers’ Hospital, where he had two ribs taken out, is recovering so rapidly that he intends making the trip to Winnipeg on August 14 to be with j Steve Ketchel for his fight there. Doc j Briggs performed the operation, and I it was very successful JOCKEY CLAIMS HE WAS OFFERED $1,000 TO‘PULL’ SARATOGA, N. Y., Auf?. 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. BEST PISSES COLE QUITS COLUMBUS TEAM; MAY JOIN FEDERALS COLUMBUS. OHIO. Aug, 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. LANGFORD AND JEANNETTE TO CLASH IN LONG BOUTl LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8.—Promoter McCarey 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 j match. In a scheduled twenty-round go in my ring with Eyton refereejng. j the two blacks will have to extend j themselves I will never stage a mixed match between a biack and a white box- i er. So long as the colored men battle among themselves I will put no handi cap ir. their way." All doubt as to Wolgast’s willingness to box on the September date was re moved yesterday when the former light weight champion telegraphed as fol lows; “Will positively meet the winner of the Dundee White fight of August 12. Hope it will be Dundee, as I want to show the public the difference between a real fighter and a jumping Jack.” jinnies T "Y THEN Elliott Dent walked Jack \\ Spratt in the first inning of Thursday’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 Thurs day, Dent’s record, beginning July 18, was two bases on balls in forty-foyr innings. This included a “long run” of thirty-three innings, or practically tly*ee 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 himself 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 firrna and wait confidently for the next one to come over. YANKEE OWNER PUTS IN CLAIM FOR CUBAN STARS 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. JACK BARRY FIRST OF MACKMEN TO BE HURT PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8.—The first serious accident of the season to Connie Mack’s famous 4nfleld has re sulted in Shortstop Jack Barry being put on the hospital list with a bad shoulder, caused by his bumping Into Catcher O’Neil at the plate n Wed nesday’s game. Barry probably will" be unable to play for a week. RED SOX RECALL PLAYERS. BOSTON, Aug. 8.—The Boston Red Sox to-day exercised their right ot option on three players in the Ameri can Association. Inflelder Krug, of the Indianapolis team, and Infielder Scott and Pitcher Brant, of St. Paul, recently sold with the right of re purchase, were recalled. NEW BICYCLE RECORD.

Hamilton at Denver. Colo., July 9, 1898. NEW YORK. Aug. 8.—President Frank Farrell, of the New York Amer ican League club, will appeal to the National Commission to set aside the sale of three Cuban players of the Long Branch team, of the New York and New Jersey League to the Bos ton Nationals.

Ilotr 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 foyf Oi yoi, Oi yoi, ()i yoi, Oi yoi, Oi yoi, Oi yoi, Oi yoi! 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 Shibe Park he would be chased to the minors or (worse yet) to St. Louis. It Is said that the said Joe Jackson has hit over .400 at the White Sox Park this season. Joe never would be mis 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 Fogel avers that he waqts to put a baseball team In New York. Th s leads one to suspect- that Horace has not heard of the adventures of Frank Chance. Washington fans having presented Walter Johnson with a Idving cup filled with money, it is said that Columbus fans will hand King Cole a shaving mug filled with lather. It is said that fighters con’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: “YYait’a minute. Jack! We’re going to buy another.” He came back.
