AGAINST PBQUGH
Jeff Ought to Cheat Somebody and Trade His Heed for a Brussels Sprout :: By “Bud” Fisher
By Joe A pier.
B irmingham, ala., auk 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 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 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
ani 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 h<*
is. when right. But he has been
very wild lately, so it was back to
dear old Washington for George.

A TELEGRAM from Clark Grif
fith to Major Frank Callaway
president of the Atlanta ball
club, received thin morning, an
nounces that Calvo, the Cuban out
fielder whom GrifT 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 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 outfield has pre
vented him from getting into the
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 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
w’heel 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.
• • •
T*HESE baseball magnates are pro-
* 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 wondei* 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.
• • •
l_J ERE, 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.
• • *
\ ND speaking of C. Griffith and
covering up. it appears the Old
Fox in acquiring our human office
building, Slim Ix>ve, is making a bona
fide trade.
The wise old boy, carried away by
the work of Joe Boehling, comes out
flat-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.

W ITH further reference to the
growing popularity of the 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 tak e a tip
from C. Griffith, or v. v.?
• • •
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 Mhould lick the Slagrollers
a complete series, prospects would be
even better for fireworks at Ponct*
DeLeon.
• • •
AT any rate, it now appears that the
** Crackers can not lose enough
games* on this final road trip to be
hopelessly out of it by the time they
deploy for action in the old Cow Pas
ture. bounded by the well-known Red
Mountain on the east, a vast expanse
of prairie on the north. and thousands
of frantic bugs on the south and
west.
Thousands being an estimate, ot
course.
• • •
OUT the Crackers won’t be hopeless-
ly out of it when they get back.
The same old hope that has been
springing eternal in the human breast
for a considerable period of time will
be bouncing up and down in the voice
producers of the aforesaid thousands,
according to whether Holland caresses
one on the bugle or pops the same
skyward with the towpath Jingled.
Here’s to the good old hope that
springs eternal!
To say nothing of the dope.

THE NATIONAL PASTIME.
He manages a baseball team; his j
heart is full of woe;
And sadly he remarks to me, “Why
write about me sof
You sit and 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
ivrite your daily junky
“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
Who 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 /’// bet he gets
a bawling from his wife.”
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 imGst, 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.
While Jack Johnson finds It impossible
to stir up a fight in Europe, there is
reason to believe that he could find
plenty of it If he ever returned to his
old home, Galveston, Tex.
AFTER THE GAME IS OVER.
Tell me not in mournful numbers
IFc must hang around a while—
That a passenger encumbers
Every inch of scat and aisle.
Let us then be up and going.
With a heart for any fate,
Or the missus will be throwing
Cups and saucers at our plate.

DR. ROUGLIN RETURNS.
Dr. Louis C. Rouglin returned to
day from a two weeks’ vacation at
Eastern resorts. He spent a week
fishing off Ocean CView and reported
several big catches.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—Realizing that
he has one of the best managers that
the game can claim, but that in order
to have, a winning organization he must
have the material, President Farrell, of
the Yankees, is spending money right

ing his spending of $12,000 and giving
two regular players for In fielder Mai-
sel. of Baltimore, Farrell yesterday in

club, has won more than half his gamer
this season, and Manager Schlafly, of
the Jersey City club, says he is now
ripe for a return to the big leagues.
Farrell has also purchased Cy Pieh
from the Dayton club, of the Central
League, for $1,500. Pieh is a right- *
handed pitcher. The third pitcher is
Paddy Cooper, of the Petersburg team,
