Maddox Sweepstake Feature
E LLIOTT DENT Is carded as
Manager Smith’s pitching en
try against the Barons in the
second game of the series, which
starts at 3:30 o’clock this after
noon. Harry Chapman will be back
of the wood, and the manager said
this morning that he fully expected
Tommy Long to be In his regular
place In left Held.
Tommy was out in uniform yester
day. but Manuah was going »<» well
that it was not considered necessary
to try out the convalescent one. Frank
had a great day with the stick yes
terday and aided materially In the
battering of the unfortunate Howell.
Manager Molesworth was not posi
tive of his choice in the matter of
slabman. Pitcher Ery, the recruit,
got in yesterday and may get a chance
to-morrow. Big Bill Prough, absent
from the club by reason of a sister's
illness, hadn’t arrived at noon to
day
There Is a lot of talk around town
about the prospective "birthday par
ty” to be tendered Bill Smith at the
ball park to-morrow, when "Bill
Smith Day” will be observed, with
a band and other trimmings, and the
thousands of Atlanta fans who have
pulled for the hard-working manager
and rejoiced in his success will have
an opportunity to show by their at
tendance the appreciation they feel
for his efforts. Preparation# are be
ing made to handle a big crowd, as it
seems everybody is going.
BOBBY GILKS, CLEVELAND
SCOUT, IS IN ATLANTA
We have with us this week, or part
©f It. one Bobby Gilks, erstwhile popu
lar manager of the Shreveport club in
the Southern League, and now * trusted
scout for the Cleveland ball club
Bobby looks the same as ever; a
quiet, alert. Bun-burned man, preserv
ing an athletic build with no tendencies
to a bay window effect, and with very
keen eyes set in the deep puckers that
come from years of peering over a blaz
ing diamond.
"Just looking around,” said Mr. Gilks
yesterday as he sat on the back of a
bench in the smoker, looking over the
Crackers at practice. "1 can’t say any
thing more specific—except,'' he added,
reflectively, "1 will say they’re awfully
scarce.”
Mr. Gilks also was of the opinion that
the desperately fine comoing the minor
leagues were receiving this year would
result more in bursting bubbles than
broken batting and base-stealing rec
ords He expects to remain here nearly
all week, by the end of which his scout
ing will be over for the present season.
^ STARTS ON LONG SWIM.
r f i f New In-nd' n Conn -a red
12:48 a. m. to-day on the swim from
Battery Park to Bady Hook, a distance
of about 21 miles Elionsky attempted

to quit the water when within a mile
of his goal.
R ealizing that society folk wit. 1
wear thousands of dollars worth
of diamonds and Jewelry to

ager Noon Hudson has hired 50 plain
clothes men to protect hi# patrons.
Chief of Police Beavers and Chic/
of Detectives Hanford will both be
on hand to assist.
It la “Society Night;” at least that
is the way the program is captioned
And it is expected that all of Atlanta's
"400” will be on hand.
Owing to the accident to Jock Mc
Neil late Wednesday afternoon it has
been decided to keep everybody away
from the paddock and nobody but
officials and the riders themselves
will be allowed within the sacred
portals of the danger lints.
The new machines that the rider®
have secured can be speeded up to
Much /in exttnt that a blow-out or
any other accident to a machine Is
likely to cause a spill, and, of course,
danger threatens all who may be in

fore, everybody will be forced to re
main behind the railings.

feated the Marine baseball team here by
the score of 11 to 3.
The feature of the game was the
heavy hitting of Company M.
I OS ANGELES, Aug. 19.—Pro
moter T. J. McCarey, for the
past ten years president of the
Pacific A. C., is positive in his belief
that Jeffries was “doped” when he
fought Jack Johnson.
"Jeffries could walk right into the
ring to-day and make a 100 per cent
bettor showing than he did at Reno,”
said McCarey to-day.
“I was watching Jeffries when he
came into the Reno arena. He
lurched down the aisle like a drunken
man, bumping his shoulder against
the moving picture stand. At the
ringside one of his best friends, Clar
ence Berry, reached out to shake
hands, but Jim didn’t appear to rec
ognize him.
* * •
»‘T AM suspicious of one man who
* posed as an intimate friend of
Jim’s prior to the fight. He bet heav
ily on Johnson and after the thing
was over he never even went to Jef
fries to speak to him, and to my
knowledge has never seen Jim since.
"This fellow used to coax Jeffries
away from the Monoa Springs train
ing camp to go Fishing. For hours
he would keep Jim standing knee
deep in the mountain streams and
cause him to neglect his training.
"I believe that Jeffries was the vic
tim of a widespread plot. The man
never had a chance. He was whipped
before he could put up his hands.
This was one of the worst blows ever
dealt the boxing gam e and I would
pay a good sum out of my own pock
et to see the mystery cleared up.”
* * •
TOM JONES, manager for Ad Wol-
* gast and Jess Willard, is an
other who believes that Jeffries was
"doped.”
"Jeffries was drugged. There is no
other way to account for his reeling
about in the ring before the contest,"
says .Tones. "Jeffries doesn’t care
much about the matter now, but his
friends would like to se e the thing
explained."

Daring Motor Racer Is Dying
J OCK M’NEIL, the daring motor
cycle racer, who was thrown
from his machine while travel
ing at a speed of SO miles an hour, is
still unconscious at the Grady Hos
pital. The attending physicians have
little hope for his recovery.
It was McNeil’s own carelessness
that caused his fall. He reported at
the track yesterday afternoon under
the influence of liquor, and after much
wrangling with the other riders he
insisted on taking a whirl.
He borrowed Morty Graves’ stock
machine and immediately after start
ing ascended to the white boards at
the top of the track. The white boards
are perpendicular and it takes a speed
of at least 80 miles an hour to hold
the machine.
The first time around his motor
broke through the boards in two
places, but McNeil refused to come
down. The next time around he rode
right into one of the holes that he
had smashed on his fir c -‘ trip, and
was thrown 50 feet in the air. He
came down face first.
An ambulance was called and he
was rush''.I to Grady Hospital. The
extent of his injuries are:
