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 tip-top shape, ex
cept Chapman. Manager Smith reported.
The useful backstop turned an ankle in
the last game at Birmingham, and, while
he pluckily 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
garner, 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 oil by Clark Griffith, will
play right field the rest of the season.

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
anq not find a better one.
McBride never was a Lajoie at the
plate nor a Cobb on the bases, but he
can think twice before the average ath
lete gets a start.
The r^nort that Hugh Jennings has
signed Messrs Tutweiler and Fadrique
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 Packey McFarland depends
more on his cleverness than on his
punch, his recent effort at song writing
lias demonstrated that he can punch the
English language without mercy.
Were we the manaqer of a white hope
our first move would he to sign him with
the Giants, where he could get a post
graduate course In the art of rough
house.

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 E-round for be
lieving he has ever thought of trad
ing Tri*i Speaker to the Washington
club.
Of course, if, as a morning paper
prints under a Milwaukee date, he
intends making George McBride the
Red Sox manager next year, lie will
have to get rid of Carrigan, 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.
* • *
r>ITT why Speaker? Especially If
Carrigan is no longer with the
team. A few weeks ago dopestcra
were figuring thut Speaker would
have to be traded because he copld
not get along with the new manager.
Waiving the question as to whether
Speaker has or has not given his best
services to tho team since Carrigan’*.
appointment (1n our opinion he ha.-'
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?
* * *
17 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
stant 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 gre^t loss to the team
with which he is now connected.
McAleer Is entirely willing to se
cure Milan, and Griffith, no doubt,
could be prevailed upon to take
Speaker But neither cares much
about letting his own star depart.

PITCHER GIVES ONLY ONE

PETERSBURG, VA., Aug. 14.—
Pitcher Hedgepeth established a new
world’s record here yesterday, when
he pitched both games of a double-
header against Richmond and was
hit safely but once in the eighteen
consecutive Innings. He was not
scored against: only gave three bases
on balls—one in the first game and
two in the second—and did not hit a
batsman. Hedgepeth was sold to the
Washington Americans several weeks
