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 Hill9 of Georgia, we are able to discern distant rumblings from the general direction of Chicago.

But there will be a good deal of interest in the fate of the Silent Tro jan and the man who could see $18,500 in Larrv 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 end of it frorp the bugs, the same as any manager »n 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, how-ever. we find our o. f.

WOLGAST AND RITCHIE IN A MATCH FOR COMING FALL LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.—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 to be here should the terms be satis factory. GABBY STREET WILL BE BACK IN MAJOR LEAGUES CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.. Aug 10 — Chattanooga fans are already beginning to look over the prospects of 1914 The continued absence of Elberfeld from the battle array has exploded all hopes of a pennant this season. There is every possibility that Gabby Street will be drafted or sold outright to a major league club, but If he Is not it Is a certainty that he will not play another season in a league where the maximum salary is but $300 per month. Street is in as good condition as ever in life, and he realizes that he is worth more than the local club can pay him. CLUBS AFTER CATCHER. TERRE HAUTE.

Aug. 10.—An article In the August Century Magazine by Marshall Whitlack, entitled "Mind versus 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 j 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 ar«> 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. * * • r* US MTTDD, one of Beverly’s golf- 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, bu* I have never heard of any penalty attaching to such an act. I consulted Tom Bendelow. who assures me ther.> Is no such penalty. If by chance he Is mistaken I should be glad to hear 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 Much a bunker it would work great hardship upon the player. • • • f*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 unusual shot and Captain Peters has every reason to be proud of his achievement. Schwartz Wants to Quit *!* • "I* Hirsig Stingy With "Coin Bag” By Paul W. Treanor. N VSHVILLE, TENN.. Aug. 10.— Flying distress signals from every mast, ieaking 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 anked 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 trt 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 from 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 Vo In, 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 his fins In the pie and deciding on the merits of ball tossers, some thousand miles or more away from his office. The Murphy of Southern League. The man who PRESENTED Harry Welchonce to the Crackers, 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, was 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 iarge. 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 twlrlers. 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, with 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 the 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 olY on him and put more gray hairs on his ucalp. LANGFORD AGREES TO BOX JACK JOHNSON IN PARIS BOSTON. Aug 10.—Sam Langford the Boston tar' baby, through his manager, Joe Woodman, to-day confirmed the re port that be had agreed to meet Jack Johnson in Paris this fall to settle the question of the heavyweight champion ship of the world.

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 with a savage right uppercut. Then he managed to keep the fireman away from him and jabbed him enough to even things in that round. Smith continued the same tactics in the next three rounds, keeping Flynn away from him and Jabbing him vi ciously. In the fifth round 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.
