THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. By .Ih<* Aglor. B irmingham. ai.a„ au«. 11.— It peems that Manager Smith and Gil Price have made up their little difference of opinion about that curve hall up In Nashville the other day. Anyhow. Bill says Gil is going to pitch against the Barons this afternoon, and Gil says he is 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 -erics at Nashville, and the road trip, which was pretty good, considering we spotted the Vols the first two games, 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 us and went out in front by a single tally. Rut it seems we can’t win that way these days. Del Young, a great little trouble maker, opened th ninth inning with a single, which Welchonee let get away from him for an extra base. A sacrifice put Del on third, and Artie Hofman, 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, Holts, scoring after reaching first on a boot, and third on a wild peg to catch him stealing.

O UR new friend and helper, Mr. John D. Rockefeller Voss, was in town yesterday afternoon. He came from Macon, on which club he has been performing in n 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- nlght,” said Bill Smith’s new elabman. “Just came around by Atlanta by way of starting out from my home town, you know.” V08s got to Birmingham about 6 o’clock thbi morning, and from hla appearance in his street clothes he ! s as fit as a fiddle and ready to take his turn on the *1ab right away. • • • T HE new man is a tall, rangy right hander of the rawboned type, that has produced most of our so- called natural athletes. His showing with Joe Herold’s club wan sensation al the first part of the season and in the last few wefk* “Along about the middle I had some trouble “ Voss said yesterday. “They were shy of men. and when I wasn’t pitching 1 was playing the outfield— also the infield. I have played In 68 out of Oo games no far. so you can see I haven’t been exactly loafing for a pitcher.” • * * 1 T seems from all accounts that Vc. s * is an all-around ball player. As i pitcher he has a world of speed, a fast-breaking hook, and plenty of mirage. He is of the type of pitcher that fancies he has a right to hts* tittle base hit just as often as the clean-up man. and he hasn’t been ^er- suaded to bat worse 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 wan glad to hear it. I’d rather play with the Atlanta club than any other in the league, and 1 hope I’ll make good." By way of starting off, the big boy whirled in and pitched a 4 - hi t shut out as his farewell performance in the Sally circuit. • • * T HE advent of Vftas serves to mix tip still more the slab staff sit uation on Bill Smith’s club. Some- body will have to go to make room for the ex-Mercerite. The impression is that Clarke will return to C. Grif fith, who Is notoriously fond of left handers, especially a 1 nee the dawning of Boehiing. Joe Aglcr’s impression to-day is that Gil Price is hack in favor once more, and will pitch this afternoon against Birmingham. Bill Smith prob ably has some sort of record In view, the way he is firing and hiring Gil bert. Nearly every good rest Oil has had recently has been in the form of a suspension. • * • r HE Crackers showed some of the old stuff by spotting the Vols two games and then evening up the series and the road trip f o 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 waf* played for the first time— and we won.

There’*! nothing the matter with the (Tibs—absolutely nothing—and yet there are a lot of hugs 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. Fig Ed Reulbach. before departing with his new comrades, the Dodgers relieved him.-Hf of a few opinions that have been wrankling 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 Edward in sonorous tones, “but there has been nothing much wrong with the Cubs except that there han been too much petty Jealousy among the dub members. "Understand, 1 am leaving the club with the best of feeling, for every one of mv former associates, but 1 do believe there has been too much squabbling among certain members of the club. “I believe Manager Evers has had an idea that both Bresnahan and T.each were after his inb. but I know his mind has been di^llusloned of that mistaken idea, for I know that both Roger and Tommv have stepped out into the open and informed John right from the shoulder out that they do not want the job. "Aside from th's little trouble T can not see why the dub should not be right up and flehUng all the wav T know to a certainty that there is not a Cub who Is not giving Mr. Murnhv the be«t he has to give. "The fact they have been tip near the top all sennon should be amd* proof to the most pessimistic fan that the Cubs have hern placing the game. Injuries a P g Handicap. “They have met with some hard luck in having Archer Zimmerman. Bridwell, Overall and Charley Fmlth on 4 of the game and that tn itself was a great handicap, but under all of these misfortunes they have continued to plav the game ai^d fight the top- notchors all the way. I am glad to get a wav from the Cubs, because T believe a chance doefi nnv player good A man can remain with a chib too long an ’ I hope to pitch good ball for Brooklyn.” BASEBALL SUMMARY SOUTHERN LEAGUE.

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.
