B irmingham, aua., au* 12 — Elliott Dent and Chapman will be In the heavy rolea at the matinee thle afternoon, and we are all hoplnK to collect again at the Oxpenee of the Barons. They certainly wa re ea»y yesterday, and it" was a relief to us to get away wJth an easy gamevafter all the tough ones, both wins aryl loses, we have had recently. To begin with. the< Barons couldn't hit Oil Price 1'p to the ninth he pitched air-tight ball, and then with the score 8 to 0 In hie favor he eased up a little and they scored a couple of runs We did all our scorlng'ln pairs, the whole line-up batting hard, and Tom my Long starred with a grand run ning catch of a terrific drive from Knlseley’s bat that started off like a sure home run. With the Jump game safely stored away, w-e should take at least two of the three But this chap Trough 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 ton games In a row 1 and Is due to crack, but I have noticed there Isn't much to this bclngldue tiring. * • • 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 f*larke Is the one to go to make a VOI y WIIVJ Ifunji dear old Washington for George. • * • VfOW it Is announced that I havt w s been sold to Jersey City. Well, if the report Is true, of course I'll go and .do my best. But 1 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 repo-t until this little pennant scrap tiled.

Aug. 12—“So Math- ewHon gets my goat by watch ing my feet, does he?” was Hans Wagner's query, when his at tention was called to the statement by John J. McGraw, manager of the Giants, that the New York star twlrl- er fooled the mighty Dutchman dur ing the last series at the Polo Grounds by watching how he was standing at the plate. Sav, ' he added, "when a man isn’t hitting, the pitcher doesn’t even have to watch his feet. He would walk up to within ten feet of the plate and toss up a devvdrop and the chances are that the batsman would either miss it or pop up an easy one. • • • (‘I’VE been in the game a good while * and I’ve faced a lot of twirier*, but I never saw any that had any reason to fear me when 1 was in a slump. And I’ve never .oeen any I was afraid of when I was in a clout ing mood "Matty may have watched my feet, but that didn't make me strike out. T was simply in a slump and I could not hit a balloon. "There Is no doubt that Christy studies opposing batsmen very closely. I’l! give him all the credit in the world. He’s a wine pitcher, and no mistake. The batter who gets Just what he wants from Mathewson is a lucky fellow. • • • «T)1 T I'll tell you what I’ve done and seen others do.

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'HEKE 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 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 • • • TLJERE, how’ever. another factor en- 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 NP speaking of C. Griffith and ** covering up, it appears the Old Fox in acquiring our human office building. Slim Love, is malting a bona fide trade. J The wise old boy, carried away by the work of Joe Boehling. comes out flat-footed w'ith 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 eirvy you the Job of managing ’em. \17ITH further reference to the * * growing popularity of tlie fork- hand slabinan, we note that President Hirsig. of the Vols, Is rushing madly toward Detroit to close a deal with tlie 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.? * • • 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. • * * AT any rate, it now appears that the ** Crackers can not lose enough gamee* on this final road trip to oe hopelessly out of it by the tlmg 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 thouMands of frantic bugs on the south and west. Thousands being an estimate, or course. • • * BI T 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 tow path jingled. Here's to the good old hope that springs eternal! To say nothing of the dope. BASEBALL SUMMARY “SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Qam«« Tuesday. Atlanta at Birmingham. Memphis at New Orleans.
