L DENT PITHS AGIST HUGH IN SECCP J OHN VOSS, the Mercer and Sally League star, blew in yesterday and was out In uniform. He looks like a real pitcher to me. George Clarke Is the one to go to make a place for the new man. not because George Isn’t a good pitcher, for he is. when right. But he has been very wild lately, so It was back to dear old Washington for George. MOW It is announced that I have been sold to Jersey City. Well, 1f the report Is true, of course I’ll go and do my best. But I never can tell the Atlanta fans—and the At lanta manager—how much I appre ciate the kind treatment I have re ceived while playing for the Crackers. I am glad I don’t nave to report until this little pennant scrap is settled. I believe we will have some lively do ings from now on. CITY AMATEUR TEAMS TO BATTLE FOR TITLE What should prove interesting to the fans and followers of amateur ball in the city is the announcement of a proposed city championship. The winners of the pennants of each league will contest for the title. All details are to be worked out later. The championship of the city will be decided by the following teams: Atlanta National Bank (Manufac turers’ league); First Baptist or St. Philip's (Sunday School); Standard Oil Co (Railroad League); Agogas or Wesley (Baraca league); Exposi tion Mills (Saturday Afternoon League).

Jeff Ought to Cheat Somebody and Trade His Head for a Brussels Sprout :: By “Bud” Fisher By Joe A pier. B irmingham, ala., Aug 12 — Elliott Dent and Chapman will be In the heavy roles at the matinee this afternoon, and we are all hoping to collect again at the expense or the Barons. They certainly were easy yesterday, and it was a relief to us to get away with an easy game after all the tough ones, both wins and loses, we have had recently. To begin with, the Barons couldn't hit Gil Price Up to the ninth he pitched air-tight ball, and then with the score 8 to 0 In his favor he eased up a little and they scored a couple of runs We did all our scoring in pairs. tl)e whole line-up batting hard, and Tom my Long starred with a grand run ning catch of a terrific drive from Kniseley’s bat that started off like a sure home run. With the Jump game safely stored away, we should take at least two of the three. But this chap Prough is due to work to-day, and even with Dent working for us we will prob ably have the time of our young llvev trimming him. He has won bis last ten games in a row. and is due to crack, but I have noticed there isn’t much to this beineldue thing. AJO USE talkin' I'M AJAT.jBALLV UNLUGlY THATii ALL.

KRAZY KA1 f 8-9-IO--T iey-re Out FIELDER CALVO TOCRACKERS Are We Going to Lose joe Agler [sporting Food +•+ 4*«+ Base Changed in Jersey City Deal A TELEGRAM from Clark Grif fith to Major Frank Callaway president of the Atlanta ball club, received this morning, an nounces that Calvo, the Cuban out fielder whom Griff has been carrying all the season, is on his way to Join the Crackers and will be in Atlanta to-morrow. "Griffith is placing Calvo with us as a moans of stiffening up our club for the final sprint,” Mr. Callaway said. "1 expect he will get in the game at once, probably playing in place of Holtz. He is a fast and accurate fielder and a hard hitter, but the class of Griffith’s regular outfield has pre vented him from getting into the game with the Senators.” Beauty Is Keynote Of 1914 Hudson Six By O. B. Keeler. I T appears that some lively scribe in Chattanooga jumped at a con clusion in regard to the case of Joe Agler and Jersey City. Also, he jumped too far, and jumped the wrong way. Aside from those trifling circum stances, he made a very accurate crack at it when he reported that the Atlanta club had scornfully turned down an offer for Joe by the J. C. president. That report, by the way, was to the effect that Horton and some unknown person were to be swapped to Atlanta for Agler. The best information on the present deal is $3,000 in cash, Joe to report when the Southern League season is over. W ITH further reference to the growing popularity of th e fork- hand slabman, we note that President Hirsig. of the Vols, is rushing madly toward Detroit to close a deal with the Tigers, who are after Claude Wil liams, the brilliant young southpaw for whom an offer of $3,500 has been made. Detroit now has a corner on the likeliest left-handers in the Southern League, Coveleskie and Cavet already having been cinched by Navin. Query: Did Jennings take a tip from C. Griffith, or v. v. ?

Jr., local dealer for the Hudson motor-cars. Beauty is the keynote of the new car. The most prominent feature is the pure streamline body. No an gles appear at the dash. Running boards are clear. It conforms to the latest European practice. Germany originated the streamline obdy. By some it is known as the Prince Henry type. Reliable information from leading factories of Europe indicates that at the Paris show next October practi cally every European manufacturer will exhibit bodies of this type. This has been adapted by Hudson design ers to American use and modified to suit American ideas. The long, sloping hood merges into the lines of the dash. The graceful sweep and smoothness is unbroken from radiator cap to tail-light. The new car is designed for seven passengers. The two extra seats are of the folding type and permanently attached. They fold Into the back of the front seat en tirely out of the way. Yet owing to the great length of the car—135-inch wheel base—there is ample room for all passengers and all may have the greatest possible ease and comfort. Provision has been made for en trance to the driver’s section from either side of the car The steering wheel is at the left, with control levers in center at driver’s right, and tires are carried in advance of the left fore door. Thus access is obtained from either door. Virginia League. Roanoke. 3; Norfolk. 0 Petersburg. 3.

The prevailing sentiment is one cf mild wonder at the disposition of Agler, the best first baseman in the Southern League, considering the announcement that the management is keen for a pennant next year, as well as this. UERE, however, another factor en- 1 1 ters the proposition. Agler very likely would have been drafted had he not been disposed of before the season began. Still, it does seem that Joey could have been covered up and concealed with the assistance of some friendly power C. Griffith, for example. But it never Is the part of wisdom to tip off decisions without having all the facts. We’re willing to let it cook a while. A ND speaking of C. Griffith and 1 1 covering up, it appears the Old Fox in acquiring our human office building. Slim Love, is making a bona fide trade. The wise old boy, carried away by the work of Joe Boehling, comes out fiat-footed with the announcement that he wants a complete staff of fork-handers for next season with Walter Johnson on the side, of course. The other side, you might put it. All right. Clark, old boy. But if you draw any George Edward Wad dells in the collection, we don’t envy you the Job of managing 'em. I F Bill Smith, with Dent, Love, Voss and Conzelman to choose from, can take one of the two remaining games in Birmingham, he will lug his collection of athletes home next Thursday In third place, and within striking distance of his third pennant for this town. He might be in striking distance, anyway, even if he lost both games to the Barons. But the striking would be a good deal harder. If by any happy chance or combi nation of good fortune and ball play ing Bill should lick the Slagrollers a complete series, prospects would be even better for fireworks at Ponce DeLeon. ~By QIONQB ft.
