V TITE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. GIL PRICE TD By .Top A trier. B irmingham, ala., Aug n — It seem* that Manager Smith and Gil Price have made up their little difference of opinion about that curve ball up in Nashville the ather day Anyhow, Bill says Gil Ip going to pitch against the Barons this afternoon, and Oil says he le going to work his head off If he does. That looks pretty bad for the Barons, who have had much trouble with Price all season. Dunn probably will catch. Well, we won yesterday, and evened up on the series at Nashville, and the road trip, which was pretty good, considering we spotted the Vols the first two gam**, on account of our hard-working one-run Jinx. We couldn’t win In a regular game yesterday, either. We came from be hind after the Vols had a three-run lead on u« and went out In front by I single tally. But it seems we can’t win that way these da vs. Del Young, a great little trouble maker. opened the ninth inning with i single, which Welchonce let get away from him for an extra base. A Sacrifice put Del on third, and Artie Hofm&n, In regular old Tub fashion, Scored him with a sharp single. In the eleventh yours truly man aged to scratch a single that Hofman knocked down. Hoffs scoring after reaching first on a boot, and third in a wild i*eg to catch him stealing.

PH A IR. J By O. it. Keel or. O UR now friend and helper, Mr. John D. Rockefeller Voss, was In town yesterday afternoon. He came from Macon, on which club he ha.n been performing In a style most alarming to those clubs of the Sally league which have been forced to bat against him In the regular course of human events “I'm going to Birmingham to night," said Bill Smith’s new sriabman. “Just came around by Atlanta by way of starting out from my home town, you know.’’ Voss got to Birmingham about 6 o'clock thin morning, and from bis appearance In his street clothes he 's hn fit as a fiddle and ready to take his turn on the «*!nb right a wav. • • • THE new man is a tall, rangy right- 1 hander, of the rawboned type, that has produced most of our no- cnlled natural athletes. His showing with Joe Hcrold’a club wan sensation al the first part of the season and In the last few weeks “Along about the middle 1 hgd some trouble." Voss said yesterday. “They were shy of men. and when I wasn’t pitching I was playing the outfield— also th.- Infield. I have played In 68 out of 90 games mo far. so you can see 1 haven’t been exactly loafing for a pitcher." • • * • I T seems from all accounts thkt Vo. s ■ is an all-around ball player. As a oltcher he has a world of speed, a mat-breaking hook, and plenty of courage. Ho is of the type of pitcher that fancies he has a right to his little base hit Just as often as the clean-up man, and he hasn’t been *'er- suaded to bat worae than around the 300 mark recently. The trade with the Atlanta club was a big surprise to Voss. "I didn't know until Friday that I was to come to Atlanta," he said. "I wao glad to hear it. I’d rather play with the Atlanta club than any other in the league, and I hope I'll make good.” By wav of starting off. the Mg boy whirled in and pitched a 4-hit shut out as his farewell performance in the Bally circuit. • • • THE advent of Voss serves to mix * up still more the slab staff sit uation on Bill Smith's club. Home body will have to go to make room for the ex-Mercerlte. The impression is that Clarke will return to C. Grif fith. who is notoriously fon^ of left handers. especially a’nee the dawning of Boehltng Joe Agler’s impression to-day is that Oil Price is hack in favor once more, and will pttrh this afternoon against Birmingham. Bill Smith prob ably has some sort of record in view, the wav he is firing and hiring Gil bert. Nearly every good rest (311 has had .;e?ently has been in the form of a suspension. * * * THF crackers showed some of the * old stuff by spotting the Vols two games and ther. evening up the series anti the road trip to date by taking two extra-Inning struggles. The Sun day game, by the way. went into the proper column, after all. It was the disputed contest claimed by the for feit method by both clubs. Yester day it was played for the first time and we won. The Gulls slipped suddenly Satur day and the Rilltkens started to skid Sunday, so (hat the crackers open m Birmingham Just live games shy of »he leaders. A C Sunday’s Game.

There’M nothing the matter with the Cubs—absolutely nothing—and yet there are a lot of bugs running around dripping the question everywhere. If you are really in search of the correct answer, look at the standing of the clubs In the National League. You will find the Cubs right up among the top-notchers, and they’ve been there all summer. That’s the answer. Big Ed Reulbach, before departing with his new comrades, the Dodgers, relieved himMelf of a feyy opinions that have been wrankllng in his manly bosom for some time past. Jealousy Hurts Cubs. "There are many things that happen on the bench and on the diamond thai are better unknown to the press and public." spake Fklward in sonorous tones, "but there has been nothing much wrong with the Cubs except that there has been too much petty jealousy among the club members. “Understand, I am leaving the club with the best of feeling, for every one of my former associates, but I do believe there has been too much squabbling among certain members of the club. "I believe Manager Kvers has had an Idea that both Bresnahan and Leach were after his Job, but I know his mind has been disillusioned of that mistaken idea, for I know that both Roger and Tommy have stepped out Into the open and Informed John right from the shoulder out that they do not want the job. “Aside from this little trouble I can not see whv the club should not be right up and fighting all the way. I know to a certainty that there is not a Cub who ia not giving Mr. Murphy the best he has to give. “The fact they have been up near the top all season should be ample proof to the most pessimistic fan that the Dubs have been playing the game. Injuries a Bi«g Handicap. "They have met with some hard luck in having Archer. Zimmerman. Rridwell Overall and Charley Smith out of the game and that in Itself was a great handicap, but under all of these misfortunes they have cpntlnued to play the game and fight the top- notchers all the way. I am glad to get away from the Cubs, because I believe a chanpe doe* any player good A man can remain with a club ton long and 1 hope to pitch good ball for Brooklyn." The sacks were filled, The crowd was thrilled, And clamored for a hit, When up walked Zim With features grim, His wardub in his mitt. One ball went by Too wide and high. And then he took a strike. And after that He dropped his bat And beat it down the pike. The crowd xras wild t Hut Zim he smiled And hustled to the train, And as he beat It down the street He hastened to explain. *‘.1 fy salary Is small," said hr. “And / am growing poor, So I must stray Like William J.

Considering the question, “What Is the White Sox?” one might answer “Ed Walsh.” The case of Mr. Walsh is another ar gument In favor of the conservation of natural resource*. While Walsh is visiting Boneaetter Reese It would not be a had Idea to have the said Bonesetter make an investi gation under Ping Bodie’s hat. Walsh says he can make good as an outfielder if his arm refuses to come back This shows that he has been watching the Sox outfield. Birmingham denies the report that he Intends to get rid of Napoleon Lajoie. It is also rumored that McGraw will not sell Christy Mathewson. The report that water baseball is a success is welcomed with great eclat by baseball magnates. They will now be able to glean a little breakfast money by staging games when it rains. If the Jape ever attack California we fear that they will not be able to fire a shot without bringing down a tennis champion. Considering the question pro, con and otherwise, why should any one hanker for John Evers' Job? E. WALSH. U orA\ work, work. On thr pitching slab. Big FJd, Till your spitter will not sputter And your pitching arm is dead. O. well for the common guy Who heaves in a sort of way. He sits on a shaded bew'h. With Walsh on the job each day. Hut the pennant chase goes on And thr spittcr now is nil. And when the Moose goes on the slab They hammer the horsehide pill. Work, work, work! They used him in sun and rain. And thru mourn to-day for an arm that is dead Aud may never come back again. One of our cartoonists kicks In with a lifelike picture of Larry Devereaux. the well-known polo player. We are now palpitating to see portraits of Fox hall Whitney and Harry P. Waterbury. While our football scribes have al- | ready begun their nefarious work, they 1 will not be satisfied until September 15. Up to that time it is against the rules for a scribe to sprain, fracture or other wise Injure any part of a player’s anatomy. THE CALL OF THE FALL. Beneath thr spreading chestnut tree The smith is on a strike. And as he packs his carpet bag And brats it down the pike He says : "My alma mater calls And I must up and hike. 'My alma mater calls" he says, “And I must hike away And buckle on my football togs And mingte in the fray, And / will not be back again Till next Thanksgiving hay" A CONTRIBUTION.
