W/IYARE SUITCASES LIKE HANDCUFFS ? Holtz Given Release; Chapman Is Injured The Crackers arrived, right side up with care, early this morning and went immediately to their quarters to rest for the double battle with Chattanooga this afternoon. Every man was In t!p-top shape, ex cept Chapman. Manager Smith reported. The useful backstop turned an ankle in the last game at Birmingham, and, while he plucklly finished the game, he suf fered with a, god deal of swelling last night, and is not in condition to play to-day. Joe Dunn will have to catch games, and possibly the other two con tests with the Lookouts. Chris Holtz was released yesterday In Birmingham and turned back to Selma. He showed much class as a fielder, but his. hitting was not of the caliber needed by the Crackers in their final dash for the flag. Jacinto Calvo, the chunky lit tle Cuban sent oh by Clark Griffith, will play right field the rest of the season.

Whaddye Mean---Cooking’s No Recreation Sporting Food BASEBALL SUMMARY -By QBOPtOB B. PHAIR- STARS. Oft in the early fall, With baseball fights near ended, One stops to think where all The springtime stars have wended. The Second Cobbs have lost their jobs And left us broken-hearted; The Wagners, too, have up and blew, The Speakers have departed. Oft, as the autumn comes. And pennant scraps are ended. Lord knows where all the bums Who starred in spring have wended. Speaking of George McBride as man ager of the Red Sox, McAleer could travel from here to Gehenna and back and not find a better one. McBride never was a Lajole at the plate nor a Cobb on the bases, but he can think twice before the average ath lete gets a start. The renort that Hugh Jennings has signed Messrs. Tutwoiler and Fadrlque simply shows how hard It is to get rid of a hobby. It Is Important to know that the Pell cans won a game the other day from Memphis. This shows that the Pels can beat somebody. While Packev McFarland depends more on his cleverness than on his punch, his reecnt. effort at song writing has demonstrated that he can punch the English language without mercy. Were we the manacier of a white hope our first move would be to sign him with the Giants, where he could get a post graduate course in the art of rough house. ODE TO THE WALKING GHOST.

RINGSIDE NEWS ab. r. h. po. a. e. . 4 0 0 10 0 0 B OSTON, Aug. 14.—While it is an open secret that President Mc Aleer is pretty well disgusted at the way certain members of the Red Sox team have been going this sea son, there Is very little ground for be lieving he bus ever thought of trad ing Tris Speaker to the Washington club. Of course, if, as a. morning paper prints under a Milwaukee date, he Intends ^making George McBride the Rod Sox manager next year, he will have to get rid of Carrlgun, for Bill would not be likely to show unusual enthusiasm for the common cause if he were deposed without a fair trial, and the tag end of a season can hardly be considered enough time In which to gauge any man’s managerial ability. * * * TOUT why Speaker? Especially If Carrigan in no longer with the team. A few weeks ago dopesters were figuring that Speaker would have to he traded because he could not get along with the new manager. Waiving the question ns to whether Speaker has or has not given hlR best services to the team since Carrigan's appointment (In our opinion he has done his best), why should it be nec essary to trade him after the cause of his discontent, if discontent he ever had, has been removed? * * * TO OR is it at all likely that “Old * Fox” Griffith is_likely to let go the best base-runner* in the Ameri can League, even if he should con- uent to break up his infield by re leasing his shortstop. Either Milan or Speaker would be a notable addition to any ’club, but the departure of either would, con versely, be a great loss to the team with which he Is now connected. McAleer is entirely willing to se cure Milan, and Griffith, no doubt, < ould be prevailed upon to tak*> Speaker. But neither cares much about letting his own star depart. After a layoff of two months Eddie T McGoorty is ready to don the padded mitts again. Jim Coffroth has offered him either Sailor Petros key or Bob Mc Allister, who boxed a twenty-round draw on the coast last week. McGoorty Isn’t particular which he meets, and has wired the California promoter to that effect. * * * Jimmy Grant, the Chicago bantam weight, who holds a knock-out victory over Spider Britt, is back in our midst once more. Jimmy has been spending a few w'eeks In Jacksonville, Fla., and Is now anxious to get on with some of the local talent. Jimmy Is one of the classiest fellows of Ills weight and should find little trouble in getting on here. • • • Johnny Dundee will make his next fight a gainst Ad Wolgast on Admis sion Day.
