N EAV YORK, Aug:. 20.—Handsome Harold McCormick, president of the Amalgamated Assassination or Pinch Punchers, has called a meet ing of the board of directors to con- eider 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 puchritudlnous. but otherwise all right Harold, has notified Messrs. Ham Hyatt, of Pittsburg; Charlev McDonald, of Roston; Doc Miller of Philadelphia; Benny Myers, of Brook lyn; Johnny Bates, of Cincinnati; Jack Lelivelt, of Cleveland; Otey Crandall, of St. Louis; Olaf Hinrlck- eeft, 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 Mlfjue will be admitted, if he can survive Jersey City, and his residence there will not be in any way held against him, as it is 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 the Giant chief employed Samuel Strang, the best baritone ever in baseball, to pinch hit for him. it was 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 Plncher." 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 1n wait for another plncher of his caliber. Handsome Harold McCor mick is the answer. Meantime, nowever, other elubs had adopted the plncher. 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 so 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 plncher, 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 plncher 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 goes 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 Schush family now playing professional bnsehall, shows the following line-up: Pehalk, Schang.

Walter has breezed 163; Tom 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. • • • I T 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 young man, who is now at Roanoke. Perrvman wa-s 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 Perrvman 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, Auer. 20—The services of "Buck'’ O’Brien, one of the pitchers who helped the Boston Bed 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 Maler offering to sell O'Brien. Maler wired that he could not use the vet eran. Reports that O'Brien is a hard man to handle probably had much to do with Mater's decision.

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 recelatlons of Johnson’s violations of the white slave laws 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 6ame 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. ’Bill Smith Day’ at Ball Park AT MINERAL SPRINGS.

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 shovy Bill Smith that his work in be half of Atlanta has been, and Is, ap preciated. Bill is not a 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 man 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.
