"fiv Damon Runyon.
N EW YORK, Aug. 20.—Handsome
Harold McCormick, president of
the Amalgamated Assassination
of Pinch Punchers, has called a meet
ly iRf? of the board of directors to con-
r sider the application of Sir Mique
Donlin, who desires membership in
! the organization so he can go around
pinching with the Yankees, or some
one.
The puchrltudlnous. but otherwise
all right Harold, has notified Messrs.
Ham Hyatt, of Pittsburg; Charley
McDonald, of Boston; Doc Miller, of
Philadelphia; Benny Myers, of Brook
lyn; Johnny Bates, of Cincinnati;
Jack Lelivelt, of Cleveland; Otey
Crandall, of St. Louis; Olaf Hinrick-
sen, of Boston, and Hugh High, of
Detroit, to meet him in a dark alley
some night so he can poll the delega
tion.
It is believed that Sir Mique will
be admitted, if he can survive Jersey
City, and his residence there will not
be in any way held against him. as
it 1s well understood that Mike is a
Broadwayite at heart
When John J. McGraw founded the
Pinch Hitter, little did he think that
it would flourish and spread across
all the leagues, as It most certainly
has flourished and spread. When th' 1
Giant chief employed Samuel Strang,
the best baritone ever in baseball,
to pinch hit for him. it wa9 because
John J. McGraw desired pinch hits
. and not that he desired to encourage*
pinch hitters, but from the lowly be
ginning of S. Strang grew the great
army that we know to-day.
Strang “Some Pincher.”
It is related of S. Strang that he
went up fourteen times in the tight
places and tore off eleven hits, and
so when S. Strang went away from
here to sing and such McGraw' lay
in wait for another pincher of his
caliber. Handsome Harold McCor
mick is the answer.
Meantime, however, other clubs
had adopted the pincher. and now we
have among others, the illustrious
persons named above, most of whom
do nothing but pinch hit, but who get
fat salaries for sc doing, while com
mon, or garden, ball players work
from day to day for the same amount
of money.
And who shall say that they do not
pay for themselves? Not us. We
shall not say it, because we have a
high regard for the pinches, and,
moreover, we envy him his Job.
Sir Mique could always spank the
baseball, and he had that peculiar
quality of confidence that makes
the pincher pinch. Take Harold Mc
Cormick. for example. Harold does
not believe the pitcher ever lived
who had anything on him. Harold
reasons that he has something on
the pitchers, especially when he roes
up in the pinch.
Pitchers Fear Harry.
He argues that the pitcher is the
man who is entitled to be afraid
and not Handsome Harold McCor
mick. Wherefore, he pinches punctil
iously, and wherefore, he is retained
at what may be enormous expense,
for all we know, on the payroll of
the New York Giants.

A HASTY compilation of the Scbush
family now playing professional
baseball, show's the following line-up:
Schalk, Schang, Schmutz, Schardt,
Schact and Schauer.
* * •
J >E TINKER says he will resign.
which is the same thing in a gen
eral way that the Cincinnati fans
said when the^ saw him coming.
• • •
pilRIS MATHEWSON was once
quoted as saying that he could
tell what Honus Wagner intended
doing by watching his feet. Events
of last Saturday prove that Chris
is either becoming nearsighted, or
that Honus has new* feet.
* * •
C HARLEY M. TESREAU. the pitch
ing pachyderm, is still in there
leading the boys in number of strike
outs. Charley M. has whiffed 132
batsmen, which record is topped only
by Wonderful Walter Johnson, of
Washington. D. C. Walter has breezed
163; Tor\i Seaton, of Philadelphia, is
next to Tesreau in the National
League with 126 strike-outs, and he
is the champion base-on-baller, with
89 passes, while Charley M. has a
matter of 87.
• * •
TT appears that John J. McGraw is
* determined to have at least one
look at “Preacher" Perryman, the the
ological hurler of the Virginia League,
at all hazards. He has exercised an
option on the younsr man, who Is now
at Roanoke. Pern-man was supposed
to report at Marlin last spring, and
for days and days the Giant chief
anxiously searched the horizon for a
glimpse of the youth, who is said to
be several stories in height, but
Perryman came not. It is said he
remained in Georgia to complete his
college course, and then he returned
to the Virginia League, where Mc
Graw first heard of him a year ago.
BUCK O’BRIEN NOT WANTED
BY A COAST LEAGUE CLUB
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 20.—The
services of “Buck” O’Brien, one of the
pitchers who helped the Boston Red
Sox win the world’s series last fall,
were declined with thanks by the
management of the Venice club of the
Pacific Coast League last night.
O’Brien is now a member of the
Chicago White Sox. Captain Calla
han telegraphed President Eddie
Maier offering to sell O'BMen. Maler
wired that he could not use the vet
eran. Reports that O’Brien is a hard
man to handle probably had much to
io with Maier’s decision.
SMITH, ATLANTA, LOSES
TENNIS MATCH TO ADOUE
DALLAS, TEXAS. Aug. 20.—Yester
day’s play in the first tennis tournament

Louis, Missouri Valley champion, and
J B. Adoue. Jr., of Dallas, one of the
Southern champions in doubles, are
among survivors. Hoerr and Adoue will
be opponents in the fourth round to
morrow. Yesterday Hoerr defeated
Paul D. Macquiston, of Dallas, 1-6, 6-3,

all three heats in the Maddox Sweep-

in the Southern championship.
Glenn and Swartz gave the fans a
thrill in the special race when they
finished in a dead heat after Swartz
captured the first heat. Sw'artz,
however, took the third and final heat
from Glenn by a great sr»urt at the
finished after Glenn had led for three-
quarters of the distance.

T HE final heat of the Maddox
Sweepstakes was easily the
best race of the night. Tex
Richards and Renel had a neck and

as i fRichards were sure to cop
the honors. Renel was there at the
finish about two feet ahead of Rich
ards. Luther also crowded the lead

Harry Glenn finished second to
Swartz in the Southern champion

EX-CHAMPION WRESTLER
NEAR DEATH IN JOLIET, ILL.
JOLIET, ILL., Aug. 20.—James
Bardell, former trainer of the White
Sox and ex-champion lightweight
wrestler of the world, is dying in a
Joliet hospital.
Bardell has been falling for months
and suffered a complete nervous
breakdown a week ago, Physicians
declare there is only a small chance
for him to live. He is known through
out the country among sporting men
as a trainer and boxing referee, and
is an old personal friend of Charles
Comiskey, Jim Jeffries, Tommy Can
non and other sportsmen. He was one
of the three sponsors of Packey Mc
Farland’s first fight at Tattersall's
old fight arena in Chicago.

lightweight division, have been
matched for a 20-round fight on La

JACK JOHNSON MAY NOT BE
ALLOWED ON LONDON STAGE
LONDON, Aug. 20.—There is a
possibility that Jack Johnson, the
American negro puglist will not be
allowed to appear on the stage in this
city.
The announcement that he would
do a turn next week at one of the
music halls brought a number of re
monstrances to the management to
the effect that the London public,
after the recelations of Johnson’s
violations of the white slave lkws of
the United States, would not stand
for the negro pugilist as an enter
tainer.
The manager retorted that he did
not think the question of morality en
tered into the matter if the boxing
exhibition by Johnson was a good
one. Besides, the term “white
slavery” does not mean the same in
England as It does In the United
States, and the crime with which
Johnson is charged in the United
States would not be an offense
against the law here. The Federa
tion of Variety Artists will discuss
the question at a meeting in this city
on Thursday.

Regular Baseball Party Planned
T HIS is Bill Smith’s birthday, and
you are invited to his little par
ty at Ponce DeLeon ball park
this afternoon, 3:30 o’clock, R. S. P.
D. Q., only there’s no use making ex
cuses if you don’t come out.
There will be several kinds of en
tertainment provided.
First off, there is the ball game—
the concluding struggle of the season
between the Barons and the Crackers.
Then there will be a band. The band
will parade before the game and ren
der appropriate incidental music to
the various passages after the man in
the blue overalls says, "Play.”
• • •
T HEN there will be Bill Smith,
guest of honor, admitting modest
ly that he is 32 years old—he admits
that much. And this is the time to
show Bill Smith that his work In be
half of Atlanta has been, and is, ap
preciated. „
Bill is not # man to flourish the
trumpets about himself or his work.
He is a quiet, earnest man—and a
dynamo in action when it comes to
energy. He is a maA of one idea
when it comes to his work. That
idea is baseball. He has brought two
pennants to Atlanta, and has taken
a club hopelessly in the ruck the last
two years and made it fight for a
third pennant this time.
Atlanta fans owe Bill Smith much
in the way of appreciation. To-day
is a good time to show it.

T HE lay-out includes Carl Thomp

STILL AFTER M’ALLISTER
AND PETR0SKEY MATCH
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.. Aug. 20—
Promter Jim Coffroth is still struggling
with the Bob McAllister-Sailor Peiros-
key-Jimmy Clabby problem. Jim wants
first of all to arrange a return match
between McAllister and Petroskey, be
ing satisfied that there Is an Insistent
demand for the same.
In making his deductions, Coffroth is
influenced by the fact that McAllister’s
friends believe Bob should have received
the decision in the recent bout, while
Ptroskey’s followers are calling upon all
non-partisan sport.* to bear testimony
that McAllister would have been
knocked out had the affair lasted a few
rounds longer.
In such a case, of course, a return
match w’ould fill a long felt want If
It takes place Clabby is assured a
match with the winner, something worth
hanging around for. If McAllister, after
due consideration, decides he has had
enough of the boxing game for a while,
Coffroth will turn his attention to a Pet-
roskey-Clabby match. •
