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 games, and possibly the other two con tests with the. Lookouts. Chris Holtz was released yesterday tn 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 ofi by Clark Griffith, will play right field the rest of the season.

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 Wagner8, too, hare 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 report that Hugh Jennings has signed Messrs Tutweiler and Fadrique simply show's how hard it is to get rid of a hobby. It is Important to know that the Peli cans won a game the other day from Memphis. This shows that the Pels can beat somebody. While Packev McFarland depends more on hi* 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 manaaer 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 BE TRADED B OSTON, Aug. 14.—While it is ari open secret that President Mc Aleer is pretty well disgusted at the way certain member? 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- rng Tris Speaker to the Washington club. Of course, if, as a morning paper prints under a Milwaukee date, he intends making George McQftde 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 i.-« no longer with the team. A few weeks ago dopesters 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 hns not given his best services to the team since Carrlgan’ v appointment (in our opinion he has done his best), why should it be nec essary to trade him after the cause of iiis discontent, if discontent he ever hud, has been removed? * * * 17 OR is it at all likely that “Old 1 Fox’’ Griffith is likely to let go the best base-runner in the Ameri can League, even if he should con- !-»ent to break up his infield by re leasing his shortwtop. 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, could be prevailed upon to take Speaker But neither cares much about letting his own star depart.

BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip PITCHER GIVES ONLY ONE HIT IN DOUBLE BILL 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 w*afl hit safely but once in the eighteen consecutive innings.
