doubts as to who i® manager of
the Cubs have been dispelled
during the past few days, for Jawn
Evers is not only the Keystone King,
but he rules with an Iron hand and
those who dafe to resent his ruling
power have been relegated to the
minors or disposd of in some oth^r
manner.
It l*i less than a week since the
manager of the Cub® learned through
the columns of a certain morning
newspaper that he was about to b.
dethroned.
In other words, according to the
word of one who claimed to have the
inside info. Jawn was about to be
Maderoized.
Your humble servant hurried to the
throne of the Keystone King in an
effort to learn Just horn badly King
Jawn felt over the sad news.
"If all of the sport scribe.*' In Chi
cago were as certain of their Jobs
as I am of mine," said Jawn, "they
would be purchasing benzine buggies
on the installment plan. Pome scribes
can’t get real news, so they manufac
ture it.
"The main trouble with the ball club
has been that there were too many
player® on the club who thought they
knew' more about running the affairs
of the club than does the owner or
manager."
Rather pointed words these, but
they flowed as freely from Jawn’s
mouth as milk and honey In that land
where one never knows hunger.
The cross-examiner shot a few'
pointed questions at the King.
"To whom do you refer?" was the
flrst one, and Jawn replied:
"Well, there are a number of
pitcher.*' on my staff who know- so
much about pitching that they refuse
to take any orders," was the rather
evasive reply.
"Name them," was the next hot one
fired at Jawn.
“I’d rather not just now. but it will
all come out In the wash," spake the
oracle.
Stop, look, listen and cogitate.
Reulbach Let Out.
Ed Reulbach has been traded to
Brooklyn, Overall ha® been forwarded
to Frisco by parcel post, and Lurid
Lew Richie will grace Kansas City
with his august and comical presence.
NufT sed. Who are the pitchers
who were treading on Jawn’s artistic
bunions?
Reulbach, Overall and Richie, and
they are no longer Cubs.
That’s the answer. John Evers Is
ruler of the Cubs, and he has been
given to understand that his job is

He Intends to manage the affairs

when he finds a person in the little

tare a The developments In the Cub camp
was <>? ur,n 8 the past week mean much for
flu»-na hn future of the Cubs.
They mean that President Murphy
Is determined to Inject new blood
Into his ball club.
He has about decided that the old
Cub machine that won three pennants
ls becoming worn find that the club
that won a pennant two vear® ago can
not be depended upon to repeat five
years hence.
In other word®, when the Cubs
board the rattler for tlie sunny clime*'
of Florida next March there will be a
number of familiar physiogs missing.
No Shift on Infield.
It ls the firm belief of yours truly
that the Cub Infield will be Intnet next
season, with Saler at first. Ever® on
the throne and Zim at third. We are
making no prognostications ns to wli *

around short.
Fred Williams will be among those
who will cavort in the outer pastures,
and further than that affiant sayeth
not.
It'wtU be a new’ club in the way of
pitchers, and there may be a new
face behind the bat. which mean® that
another face, familiar to all the base
ball fans, will be missing No names
mentioned, but be couldn’t get along
with Mr®. Britton
Evers will have a club that will
answer to him and not try to dictate
the managerial policies.
i Overall. Reulbach and Richie have
e»«lllved their usefulness with the
Cubs. They may show a flash of class
with the clubs to whom they have
been sent, but they will never wear
Cub uniforms again.

Mobile Has Lead of 5 1-2 Games
By 0. B. Keeler.
H AVING duly touched off the red
fire, ignited the Roman candles
and called out the fire depart
ment, we will now get out the old
ehewed-at-one-end section of pencil
and put down a few of the thing.*'
popularly supposed not to mislead,
which, by the way. is one of the most
staggering fallacies the twentieth
century staggers under.
It is plainly to be seen, and may b.*
set down In signs like the following:
!!!!. that the Cracker® trimmed Bir
mingham a severely straight series,
copped the final road trip in the ratio
of seven to four and are in something
of a position to contest against Mo
bile and Montgomery for the posses
sion of the title of Southern cham-
peens.
• • •
THE exact situation lathis:
1 Atlanta ha® 26 games left to
play all at home.
Mobile has a lead of five and one-
half full games over the Cracker®.
Montgomery has an edge of three
full game®
But-
Mobile has only two more games
scheduled at home.
And Montgomery is not mu^h bet
ter off. having three.

W HICH bit of gloating in a strict
ly minor key leads up to the fact
that, as G. Cleveland once eruditely
remarked, it is not a theory but a
condition that confronts u®.
The condition, roughly set forth, is
to win two-thirds of twenty-six
games—or better.
Two-thirds ought just about to
pass Montgomery and overtake Mo
bile, who will have to travel on the
high speed to break even on the long
road trip that confronts each.
But two-thirds of 26 games is be
tween seventeen and eighteen.
And that is a good many games to
win, when it is mixed up with at least
four double-headers.
Also, it may rain.
• • •
\17HICH brings on the subject of
** clouds. And just now, on the
heels of five straight victories on the
road, the everlasting rout of the
Barons, the busting of Mr. Trough’s
proud record, and the beginning of a
long stay at home—well, just now,
we are Inclined to think the said
cloud is turning outward a bit of the
well-known silver lining.
PROUGH AND MAYER ARE
SOLD TO CHICAGO SOX
BIRMINGHAM. ALA.. Aug 14.—
The star Birmingham battery. Prough
and Mayer, has been secured by the
-X. Chicago American League club. Ex-
' ereJslng an optional agreement, Wal
ter Mayer, the young Baron catcher,
was regained ofr 11.500.
When Chicago placed Mayer with
tfm Baron club, a blanket option was
glBcaeted for the choice of a player for
f*.5Qi'. Plough’s wonderful pitching
"acted the attention of the White
fccoc, and he was chosen.
1^ Sheading the league with a record
of twenty victories and five defeats,
Prough will gain his third trial in the
majors- Previously Plttsbir*.] and
CLnclni iti haw tried out the climat

The Georgia-Alabama season will
eh>se Saturday, and while hardly any of
the clubs In the circuit have made
money this year from the attendance, it
is expected that several will realize on
the sale of players. The abnormal speed
of the Class D Southeastern last year
militated against the sport in Anniston,
Gadsden and Talladega this year, but it
is believed that the fans are getting
satisfied with real Class I) hall and that
the league will be kept Intact.
• • •
Gadsden has had the best club from
the start, and they probably have the
best manager in the league, considered
from the standpoint of both his playing
and managerial ability. Randall brought
several men front New Orleans who had
been playing all winter and they were
In good form when the season opened.
Although Gadsden has never been off
the top, however, the attendance at
that nlace was tile poorest in the league,
and ft was the only city to get games
transferred.
• • •
A fine spirit of bon homme prevailed
among both the fans and players at the
banquet held in Anniston Utui >aturday
night, when an Inspiring address was
made to the men by Hon. E D. Wil
lett, a well-known attorney and former
president of the Anniston club in the
Southeastern At this meetng. Proctor,
Anniston’s star oenterfielder, also proved
himself a fine orator. He’s a graduate
of ft Texas college and promises to
K » up .

b V if
ague is kept together, there
unanimous ape&l made for
the re-election of President W. J. Boy
kin, of Gadsden, who has shown him
self to be a live wire, a man of back
bone and uniform fairness. He has
pleased all the clubs.
• • •
White, the one-armed phenom. who
for a while played with the Anniston
club, holding the unique record of being
the first one-armed man to perform in
professional company, has made good as
an umpire Joe Burke, an old-timer
wUh the Indicator, also gave better sat
isfaction this year than ever before.
• * •
Boyd, whom Birmingham released to
Talladega, wMl probably go back to the
Southern when this league closes. His
arm is getting in shape again and he
has had pretty easy sailing Rice, New-
run’s catcher, is one of those rare
backstops who hit the ball and perform
well at the same time with the mitt. In
the last series at Anniston he got ten
hits out of thirteen times at bat.
• * *
The Anniston club this year encoun
tered a hoodoo in the .500 limit. Every
time the Chickens would get to the half
perfect mark something wjould happen,
and down the ladder they would go
again. They almost reached there last
Saturday but in the game Monday they
hit the toboggan.
• * •
The two Georgia towns. New nan and
LaGrange. led in attendance this year.
Opelika did well considering the size
of the place, but Gadsden, Anniston and
Talladega had been used to faster ball,
and when salaries were reduced this
year the fans got the idea that the sport
would not be interesting. This prove*.!
erroneous, however.
Fighting Carpenter Shows Remarkable Gameness in Great Battle
FRANK WHITNEY EASY FOR CHARLEY WHITE
Conzelman and Price Will Work
-F»4-
+ • +
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
I 'J by far the most thrilling, excit
ing and scientifically waged ring
battle ever seen in Atlanta, Frank
Whitney, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, At
lanta favorite, was for the flrst time
in his Southern ring career com
pelled to leave the roped arena a
beaten man. For ten rounds lit* was
scientifically hammered by Charley
White, the marvelous Chicago light
weight.
And though Whitney left the ring
beaten, he did not leave there with
any smirch on his record. It is doubt
ful if he ever fought more brilliant
ly. It is certain that no man over
showed more gameness than did the
Iowa carpenter. There wore cheers
for the victor, but there were more
cheers for the vanquished.
It was simply a case of Whitney
meeting a better man, but, though, at
no stage of the game did he appear to
have a shade, time and again when
the crowd was cn its feet expecting
to see him feel his flrst knockout in
stead saw' him rally brilliantly, give
blow for blow', never wincing un ler
White’s terrible punching. Whitney
was always a great big figure.
But credit must be given White.
The little Chicagoan seems every
inch a champion. He had a deep and
abiding respect for Frank, though, and
boxed carefully. Not until the sev
enth round did he begin to take any
thing like a chance, and then he was
quick to crawl back behind his breast
works whenever Whitney seemed
dangerous.
• • •
\ S a result, Atlanta boxing fans saw
x * boxing in the real sense of the
word. Both men fought marvelous
defensive battles. The sparring was
fast and perfectly executed. Both
used excellent ring generalship. It
w'as White’s superior strength and
his youth that told the story
Whitney’s entire attack was from
his right side. The few times he
used his left It seemed to possess lit
tle power, but at that he did quite as
much leading as his opponent. In the
fourth round his right landed c*nd
White was turned completeyl around
by the force of the Dlovv. In this
round Whitney had the shade, but all
the others were either even or
White’s.
• • •
iitHEN the gong rang for the sev-
enth round, the battle was ap
parently all even. Then White took
tlie lead. Both men had been cau
tious in reference to infighting, but
in this session White got busy at
this part of the game and beat Whit
ney* at the feature of fighting In
w hich he is most skilled.
In the eighth Whitney was very,
very tired. His face was completely
smeared, but his magnificent condi
tion told the tale. In the ninth it
was the same story, and in the last
part of the tenth it seemed inevitable
that Whitney would be floored before
the gong. He weathered it bravely
and was on his feet fighting to the I
end, but there was not a dissenting I
voice when Referee Castro raised the
Chicago boy’s glove.
• • «
tN the semi-windup Kid Young was
1 decisively beaten by Charley Lee.
Young seemed to have none of his
old dash and viriliiJNtnd in the fourth I
round after Lee had dropped him and
Young arose to continue his tactics
of crawling under cover Castro an
nounced Lee the winner.
At times Young showed a flash, but
it was never more than a flash. It
seems that the promising newsboy
boxer has about run his course.
• • •
|N the third round of their scheduled
six-round go Terry Nelson drop
ped Mike Saul with a terrific clip on
the jaw. Saul came up on the count
of nine, and after clinching desper
ately backed into his corner and cov
ered. He was apparently badly hurt,
not only from Nelson’s blow', but also
from the blow’ he received when his
head struck the canvas w*ith a bump
that could be heard for feet.
Saul w'as apparently unable to fight
back, and the referee declared Nelson
the winner to save the Atlanta milk
man from further punishment. Up to
the knockdown Saul had a big lead
over the little Greek and was appar
ently boxing in his best style.

’’Big Six” Making Good Record
Fans Will See Calvo in Right Field
By Joe Agler.
J OHN M’GRAW has called on Jeff
Tesreau oftener to start battles
this year than ar v O'her member
of the Giants’ pitching staff. Up to
August 1, the "Little Napoleon" had
given the pitching assignment to the
big spit-baller 25 timea Jeff only
went the route on eight occasions,
but on many of the times he was der-
ricked he was lifted to allow a pinch
hitter to be inserted Into the pro
ceedings and not because he was not
performing to the satisfaction of his
commander.
Were Hugh Chalmers to offer a car
to the National League pitcher who
twirled the greatest number of com
plete games instead of the player w ho
Is most valuable to his team, Christy
Mathewson undoubtedly would be
riding around in a new auto next fall
“Big Six" has opened on the firing
line in 22 skirmishes for the Giants
this year and ha® lasted through 17
engagements, which gives him a fin
ishing average of .773.
Matty quit twice because he had to,
twice because his team had an enor
mous lead and once because McGraw
wished to shove Harry McCormick In
as a pinch hitter.
The club that has compelled
Mathew'son to retire under fire Is St.
Loui®, the team that handed him his
first beating twelve years ago. when
he first became famous. The Cardi
nals ought to be proud of themselves
for their showing agairst "Pig Six’
this year. They have received five of
the thirteen passes Matty ha* issued
thi® season, Ed Konetchy and Miller
Huggin® each obtaini ng two a» j

more rattlers and ride any more un
til the season of 1913 i® history.
The boys talked it over, coming this
way from Birmingham last night, anr*
they decided the Crackers had one
grand little chance to knock the ever
lasting lining out of about six other
clubs in the next three weeks, and
bring home another flag to Cracker-
ville.
That’s what we will try our best
to do.
The Birmingham series has given
us all a lot of confidence. We pounded
the ball back of good work by our
own pitcher?, and put up a great
fielding game. That combination will
win regularly against anything ii.
this league, if only w'e can keep i
working.
• * •
/^ONZELMAN and Price will work
^ in the double-header with Chat
tanooga this afternoon, and Dunn
probably will have to catch in both,
as Chapman has a baa ankle.
Chris Holtz has been released out
right, and Jacinto Calvo, the Cuban
outfielder Clark Griffith s>‘*nt us, wil:
be in right field. We hear he is a
bear with the wood and fast on thv?
bases, and that is what we will need
from now on. Holtz is a crack fielder,
but weak at the plate.
* * *
TT ETURNING to the last battle in
^ Slagville. which is a very pleas
ant topic with us, it will be noted
that Carl Thompson, Baron cast-off,
pitched rings around his famous rival,
Clinton Prough, stopping his winning
streak at ten games, where he is tied
w'ith Coveleskie.
Prough showed the stuff in holding
down the runs as wel) as he did, for
the Crackers were surely hitting the
old pill. Once McBride, by a great
running catch, robbed Harry Holland
or’ what looked like a sure homer,
with the bases full at the time. Harry
kept up his hitting streak, and is now
in the charmed circle of the .300 wal
lopers
And please don’t forget Wally
Smith. His drive to the center field
fence probably was the longest hit o?
the season in Birmingham, and just
about settled things for Mr. Prough
and his help. The help also cracked
under punishment, while we kept up
our good work In the field.
• * *
\17‘7LL, the Barons are out of the
* » race, it seems, and it was our
bunch that put them out w’hen the
rest >r the league seemed powerless to

Now' we w’ill have a chance at the
others.
We’ll do our best.

CINCINNATI ASKS FOR ! WORLD’S SERIES GAMES
WAIVERS ON 4 PLAYERS WILL START OCTOBER G
PITTSBURG, Aug. 14.— Before the
Cincinnati Nationals left Pittsburg it
was reported from their camp that
waivers had been asked on Suggs,
Sheckard. Egan and Bates, veterans of
the team. All the clubs in the league
have waived on Bates and Egan, and
President Herrmann and Manager Tin
ker are trying to make deals for them
wMth American League teams. They ex
pect to pull off a trade for Egan with
either the Whtie Sox or the Highland
ers. both being In need of infielders of
Egan’s class.
It is likely that several other changes
will be made. On the present eastern
trip all the clubs have also waived on
Suggs, for whom Manager 'Pinker has
been trying to pull a deal. Trades are
under way for Sheckard.
CHICAGO. Aug. 14.—The world’s se
ries games are to start on Monday, Oc
tober 6. This was the information Pres
ident Ban Johnson, of the American
League, gave out. The play will cob
tinue on each succeeding day thereafter
until one club has won four out of seven
games.
Should two Eastern teams be fortu- !
nate enough to take down the glory in
the National and American Leagues— 1
and It looks certain—then Sunday will
be an off-day, for the “blue” laws of
the East forbid the parading of our na
tional pastime on the Sabbath.

Commencing June 1st and daily thereafter round trip
tickets over the Louisville & Nashville Railroad will
