THE ATLANTA C1L0RGTAN ANT) NEWS. 7 ATHLETICS Til STDUT-HEARTED 5 A.YS Connie Afaclc to Birmingham, “I'm going to cop the rag, I am." Says Birmingham to Connie Alack, “You have the goods, l tron’% talk back— But ice will wait and see.” 1 T seems to be all over but the 1 shouting, and that will be done at the Polo Grounds and Shibe Park, as usual. Time was. and that not so long ago, when It looked as though Connie Mack might lose hold of first place. Joe Birmingham and his Naplets made great strides for a time and threatened to spill the beans, but in the recent series between the Naps and Athletics the Naps ap peared to be a little slow, although tirey did make a strong finish. While seven games only separates the two teams the Mackmen seem to have the class. They appear to liave more heart than Birmingham’* men and more likely to come strong in the stretch when pushed. It is the work of the silent man on the bench that is pulling the Mack- ites to a successful finish. * * • CILENT. but ever alert, that great ^ master of the national game sits among his players and plans each play. What though the Afhletic pitcher may be wild, he advises his men to take advantage of every open. 1ng offered by the opposing twirier, and so the Athletics wage battle ta a successful issue. It will be the old-time sfruggle • between McGraw and Mack for eupremacy when the cheering world’s series crowd gathers in October to witness the contests between the champions of the two major leagues. McGraw has two defeats that are Btlll rankling in his bosom, and he -will be out for b-l-u-d this time, but ihe will be called upon to depend upon the same pitchers who lost in the other contests—Marquard. Mathew- son and Tesreau. Will it be a repe tition of the former world’s series games between the Giants and Ath letics? Echo answers, “Will it ?’ f * * * \\7 HILE the eyes of the fans have vv been riveted upon the pennant contests in the two major leagues, the clubs in the American Associa tion have been staging a joy flag con test well worth the price of admis sion. Milwaukee took an early lead and has held it up to the present, but just now is being hard pressed by Louisville and Minneapolis. Joe t’antillon and his two-time pennant winners came up recently from a low ly position in the second division. They have been winning cosiMtently and right now are knocking at the door. Milwaukee and Louisville have fin ished a desperate series of contests for first honors that resulted disas trously for Louisville, but the Colonels are still holding firmly to second place. -There are five clubs within shout ing distance of the pennant right now and the fight promises to be hot right up to the last day. Federal League to Build New Grounds INDIANAPOLIS. IND., Aug. 21.— Plans are being perfected to-day for the enlarging of the Federal Baseball League, the outlaw organization, next year.

CHICAGO PUTS VETO ON SLANG STORIES CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—Slang as a means of the proper description of baseball games in the newspapers came out a little behind straight-for ward English, according to the ver dict of several thousand readers in a test vote taken by a Chicago news paper, which was announced to-day. Of a total of 3,930 ballots recorded to-day, 2,004 declared for the English prescribed by the dictionaries, and 1,4)26 were In favor of the use of clang:. . The figures in favor of tne pure English were qualified by several thousand voters who expressed them selves in favor of the use of a mod erate amount of snappy, descriptive phrases, not limited necessarily to dictionary words, however. Many voted in favor of slang, but advocated the elimination of nicknames.

A FTER lamping at considerable length th$ series justt finished, the impression persists that if only the Crackers had arranged to play Birmingham all season, they would have climbed clear up out of the Southern League standing, and probably would be In the first division of one of the big leagues. » * » DE that as it may, the Moles were- pretty soft. The toughest en gagement of the final series was with a rookie named Ery, too—|Jig Bill Pro ugh not being able to be present at the last sad rites of the Crackers- Moles season. Big Bill may have saved a few points in his percentage, at that, the way things broke. • • * AN’THOW, it was “Bill Smith Day.” and there was a hifsky crowd out to the doings—4,000 it looked, any way. not counting the hand, which rendered melody in compressed or tabloid form between the acts. The other visual evidence of the oc casion being celebratory of Mr. Smith’s anniversary was staged just as the Crackers came to bat in the first round. • * • T ] MPIRE FIPIELb held up a large ^ and warning hand at Mr. Ery, who was winding himself up. and a gentleman, whose name everybody agreed was Smith, advanced cautious ly to the platter. He carried a tray on which were lavishly displayed a Golden Horseshoe, tied with a bow of very red ribbon, and something that looked like a box of breakfast food, only it was as done up in white paper These articles were presented with much eclat and very little conversa tion to Mr. Bill Smith himself, who turned a delicate cerise and bowed inclusively to the other Mr. Smith and the applauding multitude. Whereupon the band played “Dixie,” the multitude split a couple of wel kins. Mr. Smith shouldered the horse shoe and went back to the coop, and Mr. Fifield said: “Stee-rike one!” • • « N B.—It was discovered later that the mysterious Large Package contained eating tobacco—enough to last Bill through a whole double- header, it was estimated. P.S.—Bill also gets a neat rake-off on the paid admissions to his little birthday party, with the compliments of the local baseball association. • • • T HESE important ceremonies being safely out of the way, the Crack ers began earnestly to go about dis posing of the youthful Mr. Ery, re cently of the Georgia-Alabama circle. On the Crackers’ bench it w r as freely predicted thgit Mr. Ery would last just four innings. That estimate was slightly con servative. Mr. Ery stuck to hjs fifcgt job like a sick kitten to a not brick. The youngster pitched excellent ball right up to the closing chapter—and then the reserves had to be called out to pinch him off. * • * I N fact, the first run of the game was wrenched violently away from no less a personage than Mr. Josephus Conzelman, and for exactly two hours Mr. Ery held the classic hurler even —or a shade better. Providence again was breaking our way, operating mainly through the eastern wing of Mr. Harry Chap man. although there were symptoms of the miraculous in a number of fielding plays, notably by Wally Smith. TV/TR. CHAPMAN earned a special chapter in this history. The pet hobby of his side-kick was to let some Baron, usually Messen ger, get to first after two w r ere out. The recipient, being' given one base, would promptly try to take another. Then Chapman would nail him. He did this no fewer than five separate and apoplectic times, and for good measure nipped the mighty Kniseley off second in.the fourth inning, w hen that gent was there with nobody at all in the discard—a most opportune time for nipping. Harry’s work was beautiful to watch—from the Cracker bench. • * * W ELL, getting over It in a hur ry, our Mr. Welchonce. having a hunch that Scouts Bobby Gilks an-i Billy Gilbert were In the stands look ing him over, proceeded to get him self a single every time he came up, which was four. The last single ar rived In the ninth Inning and paved the way to the second and winning run off Mr. Rookie Ery. Smith’s sacrifice hit put Harry on second, and Bisland was h. b. p. o. The rookie was fluttering under a roaring tempest of rooting, and Hol land waited him out and walked. Right there something happened that looked bad for our little friend Jacinta Calvo, but good for the ball game. Billy fcmith 9ent Frank Manush up to bat for him, and after jockeying with Ery to the two-and-two stag^, Frank lammed one over second. * * • S SWITCHING off the gloat, we see the Billikens in the offing, one game to the north of us, with four games scheduled to be played, begin ning with a couple to-day. Winning three of those games will put the Crackers in second place and keep them after the flying Gulls, now just six laps in front. ’Nother chance to turn on o. f Crucial Series. y S T. LOUIS, MO., Aug. 21.—What’s the matter with St. Louis? Folks in the Ea‘*t think that the Yan kees are in bad light, but the New Yorkers looked so much better than the Missourians yesterday that Ban Johnson’s visit here is timely. The American League Czar has sent word that he would be here this afternoon to talk over the St. Louis situation with Owner Hedges Stovall and cer tain newspaper men. The league po tentate recognizes that baseball Is pretty nearly dead in St. Loui9 and he thinks he can produce a remedy. Yesterday only 1,100 people saw New York beat the Browns and that includes the pass gate. People here no longer patronize the game, either at the American or National League parks. For that matter, the Federal League doesn’t draw’ either. There was a time when this city was known as the most loyal of all burgs, but continued disaster has finally sick ened the phtrons, and while 10,000 people visit the new public bathing pond a measly 1.100 go to see the cellar champions fight it out. It is just possible that St. Louis may beat it out of the circuit and some other city take its place. Secretary Tom Davis, of the New York club, was disgusted yesterday at the show ing. In Chicago the Yankees drew splendid crowds, became they are playing just as good ball as the Athletics now, what with the four pitchers going like demons and Swee ney turning back nearly every man who tries to steal. “None of the clubs are making any money out here.” said Davis. “Even the Sunday attendance has fallen away. I can not explain it, but the local jump is beginning to be a hard ship. considering that a visiting club is barely able to make expenses.” Ban Johnson may decide to shift the circuit. For example, either Bal timore or Buffalo w r ould be a better paying proposition than St. Louis. Many managers have had a go at this team, hut not since the days of Com* Iskey has there been a pennant win ner here. Totals. . . Atlanta. Agler, lb. . . Long, If. . . Welchonce, cf. Smith. 2b. .

A romance resulted, which culminated in the wedding Work on Atlanta Autodrome Started Secretary Frank Weldon, of the Atlanta Autodrome Athletic Associa tion, which will control auto racing at Atlanta’s big autodrome, yesterday- started a large force of men at work at the grounds where the big wooden saucer will go up. These men were put to work clear ing off the ground of all shrubbery, stumps, etc., getting ready for the grading, which will be the first step toward the actual building of the big board track. The clearing will require a few- days, and as very little grading is necessary, work on the saucer will commence within the next w-eek or ten days and rushed to a rapid com pletion. Everything i9 sailing along smooth ly, and if it continues to do so, the track will be ready for the first races in October. NEW PACING RECORD. GOSHEN, N.

WALSH T0.TRY PITCHING AGAIN IN ABOUT A WEEK CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—Edward Walsh is back in Chicago following his visit to “Bonesetter” Reese at Youngstown, Ohio. The “Moose” of the Sox hurling staff refuses to wax joyful over the pre dictions made by the Youngstown wiz ard following the replacing of a slipped tendon in the pitching arm of the great athlete. Walsh will rema|i idle for about a w’eek and will tht.i don his togs and test the faltering limb. If the soreness has not disappeared by then he will give up baseball for the season and lay plans for next year. According to Walsh, the ’ Bonesetter” Is certain the repair will prove effective, and pointed to a number of similar cases he has handled.

It was reported that the official statement to that effect w-ould be made within a few days. Rickey was formerly a catcher, and before his appointment to his present position was director of athletics at the University of Michigan. That Stovall w-ould have a succes sor has been common belief for sev eral weeks. The talk of a successor began first when he ^nd Umpire Fer guson had a run-in, which terminated in the manager spitting upon the of ficial. That aroused the ire of Presi dent Johnson and drew- for Stovall words of condemnation as well as a suspension and a fine. The manager also was compelled to apologize. The American Leagye head is said to believe that Stovall failed to learn a lesson from this. President Hedges •also is said to think his team de serves a higher standing in the race with the material he has given the manager. BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip B )BBY GILKS and Billy Gilbert, veteran ball players and scouts, respectively, for the Cleveland Americans and Ihe New York Na tionals, sat oqt.dn front of the hotel last night and talked about the gum shoe trade and its prospects. The prospects seemed to be pretty dismal, to hear them tell it. Neither would admit any specific “looking over” proceedings here, but both w-ould talk—guardedly—about this player or that player; merely from a disinterested view-point, of course. For example, Mr. (lUbert gave it as his opinion that Joe Agler. sold to Jersey City recently, would be work ing for Frank Chance next year. “He’s a sw-eet first, baseman, that boy," said Billy. "Only has one little fault in fielding and one in batting, and he should get over both easily He seems to have a little trouble w-lth the force play at second on a sacrifice bunt, but with his natural speed and fielding abilty, coupled with the fact that he is left-handed, he should get over that quickly. ‘In batting, he is a little inclined to pull, but it evidently isn’t because he’s gun-shy. Also, he has a fine eye for a pitched ball, and a little spreading’ applied to his feet will correct the pulling tendency. Then he ought to hit well in any league.” Both scouts maintain a lot of dark some mystery as to their visit here. They admit it is not for their health, but that is all. Taking a scatter shot at it, the best hunch is that the sleuths are looking at Harry Welchonce. That is only a hunch, mind you, and there was equally as much conversation .spilled over Wally Smith and Bisland and Tommy Long. But the Welchonce stuff sounded sort of different. Still, you can’t tell about a scout. Billy Gilbert will probablv depart to-night, while Bobby is likely to stay the w-eek out in our midst. Extra!* Terry Nelson has nothing to say. # M’LOUGHLIN AND BUNDY VICTORY POPULAR ONE NEWPORT, R.
