B irmingham, ai.a., au* n.— It seems that Manager Smith and Oil Price have made up their little difference of opinion about that curve ball up in Nashville the other day. Anyhow. Bill says Oil is going to pitch against the Barons this afternoon, and Oil 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 •eason 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 gamea, on account of our hard-working one-run Jinx. We couldn't win in a regular game yeeterday, either. We came from be hind after the Vols had a three-run lead on u* and went out in front by a single tally. But It seems we can't win that way these days. Del Young, a great little trouble maker. opened the ninth inning with a single, which Welchonre let get away from him for an extra base. A sacrifice put Del on third, and Artie Hofman, In regular old Cub fashion, scored him with a sharp single. In the eleventh yours truly man aged to scratch a single that Hofman knocked down, Holtz scoring after reaching first on a boot, and third cn a wild peg to catch him stealing IT 13 RUMORED THAT Packey McFarland Is going to fight as a welterweight hereafter, which is to say that in all coming fights he will admit that he is a welter weight. • • • THE WESTERN BASEBALL Writers’ Association for the Termi nation of the Big League Career of C.

The T/mid ** Voss, New Pitcher, Here Sunday +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ Crackers All Square on Road Trip L By 0. B. Keeler. 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 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 pew slabman. ' Just came around by Atlanta by way of starting out from my home town, you know.” Voss got to Birmingham about 6 o’clock this morning, and from his appearance in his street clothes he *s as fit as a fiddle and ready to take his turn on the slab right away. • • • THE new man is a tall, rangy right- * hander of the rawboned type, that has produced most of our f*o- called natural athletes. His showing with Joe Herold's club wan sensation al the firs$ part of the season and in the last/ few weeks. “Along about the middle I had some trouble." Voss said yesterday. "They were shy of men, and when I wasn't pitching I was playing the outfield— also the infield. I have played in 68 out of 90 games ho far, so you can see I haven't been exactly loafing for a pitcher.” • • • T T seems from all accounts that Voss * is an all-around ball player. As a pitcher he has a world of speed, a fast-breaking hook, and plenty of courage. He 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 per 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 was 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 way of starting off, the big boy whirled in and pitched a 4-hit shut out as bis farewell performance In the Sally circuit. • • • THE advent of Voss serves to mix * up still more the slab staff sit uation on Bill Smith’s club. Some 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 fond of left handers. especially a 1 nee the dawning of Boehling. Joe Agler’s impression to-day is that Gil Price is back 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 Gil has had recently has been in the form of a suspension. • • • T HK Crackers showed some of the old stuff by spotting the Vols two games and then evening up the series and 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 wo won. The Gulls slipped suddenly Satur day and the Rilllkens started to skid Sunday, so that the Crackers open in Birmingham Just five games shy of ♦ he leaders. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Game* Monday.

Foolish question No. 4114423711. There’w nothing the matter with the Cubs—Absolutely nothing—and yet there are a lot of bugs running around dripping the question everywhere. If vou 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 hirmtelf 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 that 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 fhere 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 Evers has had an idea that both Bresnahan and Leach were after his Job, but 1 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 why the club should not he right up and fighting all the way. I know to a certainty that there is not a Cub who is not giving Mr. Murphy the best he has to give. “The fart they have been up near the top all season should be ampl° proof to the most pessimistic fan that the Cubs have been playing the game. Injuries a Bi*g Handicap. "They have met with some hard luck in having Archer. Zimmerman. Rrldwell, Overall and Charley Smith out of the game, and that in itself was a great handicap, but under all of these misfortunes they have continued to play the game and fight the top- notchers all the way. I am glad to get away from the Cubs, because T believe a change does any player good. A man can remain with a club too long and I hope to pitch good ball for Brooklyn." KEATING MEETS BACHUS.

And clamored for a hit. When up walked Zim • With features grim, His warclub 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 was wild % Hut Zim he smiled And hustled to the train. And as he beat It down the street He hastened to explain. “My salary Is small," said he. "And I am growing poot. No / must stray Like William J. Upon a lecture tour" 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 resources. While Walsh is visiting Bonesetter Reese it would not be a bad idea, to have the said Bonesetter make an invest! 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 Lajole. It Is also rumored that McGraw will not sell Christy Mathewson. The report thst wster 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. Tf the Japs ever attack California we fear that they will not be able to fire a shot without bringing down a tennis champion. 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 the spreading chestnut tree The smith is on a strike. And as he packs his carpet bag And beats it down the pike He says: "My alma mater calls And I must up and hike. ‘My alma mater calls" he says, “And / must hike away And buckle on my football togs And mingle in the fray, And I will not he back again Till next Thanksgiving Day" A CONTRIBUTION.

Considering the question pro. con and otherwise, why should any one hanker for John Evers’ Job? E. WALSH. Work, work, work. On the pitching slab. Big Ed, Till your spitler will not sputter And your pitching arm is dead. O. well for the common guy Who heaves in a sort of way. He sits tm a shaded bench. With Walsh on the job each day. Hut the pennant chase goes on ind the 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 they mourn to-day for an arm that is dead Aud may never come back again.
