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 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 CaJvo, the chunky lit tle Cuban sent oft by Clark Griffith, will play right field the rest of the season.

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 Lafole at the plate nor a Cobb on the bases, but he can think twice before the average ath lete gets a start. The report 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 has demonstrated that he can punch the English language without mercy. Were we the manager 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.

TO DEWED B OSTON, Aug. 14.—While it is an open secret that President Mc Aleer is pretty well disguoted 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 has ever thought of trad ing Trin Speaker to the Washington club. Of course, if. as a morning paper prints under a Milwaukee date, he Intends making George McDftde the Red Sox manager next year, he 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. • * • OUT why Speaker? Especially if Carrigan is no longer with the team. A few weeks ago dopestcra were figuring that Speaker would have to be traded because he could not get along with the new' manager. Waiving the question as to whether Speaker has or has not given his best services to the team since Carrigan' 0 appointment (in our opinion he haw 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? * * * I? OR is it at all likely that “Old A Fox” Griffith is likely to let go the best base-runner in the Ameri can League, even if he should con- stent to break up his infield by re leasing his shortstop. Either Milan or Speaker w'ould 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, could be prevailed upon to take Speaker. But neither cares much about letting his own star depart. RED SOX TO GIVE $10,000 IN PLAYERS FOR REHG After a layoff of two months Eddie McGoorty is ready to don the padded mitts again. Jim Coffroth has offered him either Sailor Petroskey 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 hold« a knock-out victory over Spider Britt, is oack in our midst once more. Jimmy has been spending a few weeks in Jacksonville. Fla., and is now anxious to get on with some of the local talent. Jimmy is one of the classiest fellows of his weight and should find little trouble in getting on here. • * * Johnny Dundee will make his next fight against Ad Wolgast on Admis sion Day. Dundee, by stopping Jack White, lias won a warm spot In the hearts of the coast fans. He should not lack for admirers when he stacks up against the ex-champion. • • • Two clever newsi»aper men of Chi cago. George S. UObbfns and Joseph B. Boweles have gotten out a bright and Interesting little book covering the career of Frank A. Gotch. The wrest ling champion, is credited with the fol lowing 'un training, It is brains over brawn. The man who trains with his brain can get more good out of twirl ing a match than an athlete who does not use his brain can out of a 5-pound dumb-bell. e * * Joe Rivers, having had two chances against a world’s lightweight champion, finds himself further from the 133-pound title than when he started to box in this division. The Mexican is carded to box Leach Cross on Labor Day .and unless he wins decisively, Joe will find himhelf In a class with Anderson and Baldwin. * • * Johnny Gallant, of Boston, knocked out A1 ketchel in the second round of a scheduled ten-round battle The bout was staged in the “Bean Town.” * • * For the 99th time Jack Dillon and Toni Caponi are matched. Reports from Win nipeg state that the two mi<jdlewelghts will clash in a scheduled twelve-round set-to some time next month. • • * It is even hinted that Welsh and Ritchie will pull the wool over the eyes of Vancouver sports, as each man is said to have an understanding that they will box for the benefit of the mov ing pictures only. • • * And now we learn Ritchie fears Mur phy, too One wonders what Ritchie does when he isn't looking up some new person to fear • * * Promoter Coffroth, of San Francisco, is reported to have Arthur Pelky signed for three bouts. Charley Miller will be one of his opponents. * • * The manager of Gunboat Smith will now try and fill all the sporting pages in the country telling what a wonder Smith Is ajid that lie is the real cham pion. And all because he trimmed Jim Flynn. PITCHER GIVES ONLY ONE HIT IN DOUBLE BILL PETERSBURG, VA„ Au*. 14.— Pitcher Hedgepeth established a new world’s record here yesterday, when he pitched both games of a double- header against Richmond and wan hit safely but once In the eighteen consecutive innings.
