6 TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. rrr: 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.

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. BASEBALL SUMMARY •SOUTHERN LEAGUE.

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 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.

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.'* A CONTRIBUTION.

Johnson arrived aboard the steamer Caronia yesterday. He compli 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 his prizes. LUNDGREN TAKES RICKEY’S COACH JOB AT MICHIGAN ANN ARBOR. MICH., Aug. 11.—Carl L.
