TITE ATLANTA GEORCTAN AND NEWS. [. DENT PITCHES IN SECOND HE By Joe Agler. B irmingham, ala,, au* 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 of 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. the whole line-up batting hard, and Tom my Long starred with a grand run ning catch of a terrific drive from Kniseley’s hat 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 live.« trimming him. He has won his last ten games in a row. and is due to crack, but I have noticed there isn’t much to this beingldue thing. • * • 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. • • • ■VTOW It is announced that I have been sold to Jersey City. Well, If 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 appro elate 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 beileve 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). TIGERS TO GET CAVET. MOBILE. ALA..

Free sample from 1 Hot Springs Chemical Co., Hot < Springs, Ark. r 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 iR placing Calvo with us as a means of stiffening up our club for the final sprint,’’ Mr. Callaway said. “I 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 ouifield has pre vented him from getting into fhe game with the Senators.” Beauty Is Keynote Of 1914 Hudson Six The 1914 Hudson Six 54 7-passenger body, complete car. at $2,250, is on exhibition to-day at the salesrooms of Mr. J. W. Goldsmith, 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 Nvyiy. 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. 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 Borton 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. • • • 'TPHESE baseball magnates are pro- A verbially dark and mysterious in their little deals, and not much in formation can be extracted from them. The prevailing sentiment is one of 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. • • • LJERE, 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. Virginia League. Roanoke. 3; Norfolk, 0. Petersburg, 3; Richmond* 0.

Detroit now has a corner on the likeliest left-har.ders in the Southern League, Coveleskie and Cavet already having been cinched by Navin. Query: Did Jennings take a tip from C.

THE NATIONAL PASTIME. Be manages a baseball team; his j heart is full of woe; And sadlii he remarks to me, “Why write about me sot You sit und wield the hammer with | a calm and careless air While I am up against it and my heart is full of care. “You sit and hand me out advice on how to run my job, And some of it is punk enough to make me heave a sob. You do your labor free from care and spring a lot of bunk And no one ever tells you how to write your daily junk." “Ah, yes.” J made reply to him, “My life is calm and free. No stranger ever hands advice or censure unto me Except about a score of kindly mor tals every day Il'fto strive to hand me dope about the way to earn my pay. “And he who clutters up the mails to tell me what to do Will sit in yonder park to-day and hand advice to you. And though he seems to be a guy who leads a carefree life. When he gets home I'll bet he gets a baieling from his wife.'t Larry McLean has been hoisted from a tail-end team to a flock of world's series money. This is a temperance sermon with reversed English. Not that names have anything to do with It, but the eighth annual Western championship at the Omaha Gun Club was won by C. A. Gunning. Joe Birmingham says he still hopes his team will win. Faith and Charity are strangers in our mulst, but Hope we have always with us. Reports from Columbus Indicate that King Cole’s artistic temperament has broken out again.. The most serious feature of the case Is that Bonesetter Reese Is on a vacation.
