MICE TO
By Joe A pier.
B irmingham, ala.. Aug 11 —
It seems that Manager Smith
and Oil Price have made up
fhelr little difference of opinion about
that curve ball up In Nashville the
ether day. Anyhow, Rill says Oil 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 series at Nashville,
and the road trip, which was pretty
food, 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
l 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
k single, which Welchonce let get
away from him for an extra base. A
sacrifice put Del on third, and Artie
Hofman. In regular old Cub fashion,
•cored 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
•n a wild peg to catch him stealing

Voss, New Pitcher, Here Sunday
*h#+ *hi4* +#*h
Crackers All Square on Road Trip
[[foodfor Sport Fans
By O. B. Koelor.
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 BUI Smith's new slab man.
“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 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 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 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 9ft games «*> far. so you can
see I haven't been exactly loafing
for a pitcher.”
• • •
IT seems from all accounts that Vors
* 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 bit just as often ns the
clean-up man, and be hasn’t been per
suaded to bat worse than around th«
.300 mark recently.
The trade with the Atlanta club was
a big surprise to Voss.
“1 didn't know until Friday that 1
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.”
Fly way of starting off, the big hoy
whirled in and pitched a 4-hit shut
out as his farewell performance in the
Sally circuit.
• 0 •
T HE advent of Voss serves to mix
up still more the slab staff sit
uation ob Bill Smith's club. Bonn
body will have to go to make room
for the ex-Mercerite. The impression
is that Clarice will return to C. Grif
fith. who Ik notoriously fond of left
handers. especially a!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.
• • •
THE Crackers showed some of the
*■ old stuff by spotting the Vols two
games and then evening up the series
and the road trip f.) 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 WH9 played for the first time—
and we won.
The Gulls slipped suddenly Satur
day and the Rllllkens started to skid
Sunday, so that the Crackers open in
Birmingham Just five games shy of
»he leaders.

C HICAGO. ILL., Aug. 11.—What’s
the matter with the Cubs?
Foolish question No. 4114423711.
There’s 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 himstelf 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 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.
”1 believe Manager Evers 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 why the club should not
be 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 be lias to give.
“The fact they have been up near
the. top all season should be ample
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.
Bridwell, Overall and Charley Smith
out of the game and that in itself was
n 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 I
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."

The sacks were filled.
The crowd was thrilled,
And clamored for a hit,
When up walked Zim
With features i/rim,
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 croird was wild %
But 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 hr.
“And I am growing pour.
So / 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 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 Japs 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.
Work, work, work.
On the pitching slab. Big Ed,
Till your spitter will not sputter
And your pitching arm is dead.
O, well for the common guy
Who heaves in a sort of tray.
He sits on a shaded bench.
With Walsh on the job each day.
But the pennant chase goes on
And the spitter note 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
lud may net'er 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
will not be satisfied until September 15.
Up to that time it is against the rules
lor 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 / will not be back again
Till next Thanksgiving Day.'*

mented the English people for their
sportsmanlike spirit and said that the
Americans were “lucky to win.”
Mr. Johnson was surprised to find that
his trophies were dutiable, but he did
not argue the case. Being a sport he
nut up the coin and went away with
