Manager Smith's pitching en
try against the Baron# In the
second game of the eerie?, which
starts at 3:30 o’clock this after
noon. Harry Chapman will be buck
of the wood, and the manager said
this morning that he fully expected
Tommy Long to be In hie regular
place in left field.
Tommy w&s out In uniform yester
day, but Manuah was going so well
that it was not considered necessary
to try out the convalescent one. Frank
had a great day with the stick yes
terday f.nd aided materially in the
battering of the unfortunate Howell.
Manager Moles worth was not posi
tive of his choice in the matter of
slabman. Pitcher Fry, the recruit,
got in yesterday and may get a ehajiee
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 haw
pulled for the hard-working manager
and rejoiced in his success will have
en opportunity to show by their at
tendance the appreciation they feel
for his efforts. Preparation# are be
ing made to handle a big crowd. a« It

BOBBY GILKS, CLEVELAND
SCOUT, IS IN ATLANTA
We have with us this week, or part
of it. one Bobby Gilks. erstwhile popu
lar manager of the Shreveport club in
the Southern League, and now a trusted
scout for the Cleveland ball club.
Bobby looks the same as ever; a
quiet, alert, sun-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.
r, Just looking around,' said Mr Gilks
ysterday a she sat on the back of a
bench in the smoker, looking over the
Crackers at practice "I can't say any
thing more specific except," he added,
reflectively, "1 will say they5re awfully
scarce.’
Mr. Gilks also was of the opinion that
the desperately fine com-'ing the minor
leagues were receiving this year would
result more in bursting than broken hat
ting and base-stealing records. He ex
pects to remain here nearly all week, by
the end of which his scouting will be
over for the present sea.^-n.

Dan McKetrlck, the dapper title fight
manager, Is going to take another trip
to Europe. He has* been across the big
pond so often that he forgets the num
ber of times. On his next Journey to
the other side he'll take with him the
largest string of fighters that any man
ager ever piloted to a foreign country.

The boxers that little Dan will take
abroad are Joe Jeannette, Frank Moran,
both heavyweights; Barney Williams, a
middleweight; Young Aheam, a welter
weight, and Mickey Dunn, a bantam.

Spider Britt, the local bantamweight,
is wondering when some boy arouna
these parts will muster up enough
courage to meet him in the ring Britf
cares not who it may be. Just as long
as he tips the beam at 116 pounds.
Snider says he will wager $100 on his
chances against any of them.
L 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
better 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
a.way 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 game and I would
pay a good sum out of my own pock
et to see the mystery cleared up.”
* * •
'POM JONES, manager for Ad Wol-
*■ gast and Jess Willard, is an
other who believes that Jeffries was
"doped."
"Jeffries was drirgged. There is no
other way to account /or his reeling
about in the ring before the contest,"
says Jones. “Jeffries doesn’t care
much about the matter now’, but his
friends w’ould like to see the thing
explained."
OUTFIELDER LET OUT.
KEOKUK, IOWA, Aug. 19. Outfielder
Corkhill was released by Keokuk and
Outfielder Bromley, formerly with Mus-
satine, was signed.
"BATTLING" NELSON DISPOSED OF.
ROCKFORD. ILL. Aug. 19.—The
Rockford (Wiseonsln-Illinois League)
team to-day ordered the release of
Catcher "Battling" Nelson.
J OCK M’NEIL, the daring motor
cycle racer, w’ho was thrown
from his machine while travel
ing at a speed of 80 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 w’lth 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 first trip, and
was thrown 50 feet in the air. He
came down face first.
An ambulance was called and he
was rushed to Grady Hospital. The
extent of his injuries are:
