TURTLES STILL KICkINfi-VOU COTTA GIVE ’EM CREDIT THIRTIWL-*/ . DIO By 0. B. Keeler. Y OU gotta give ’em credit—they’re trying to stop us». The triumphant march of-the iOrackers continues over the pros trate but kicking dejecta membra of the Turtles—continues toward what would be first place, only Mobile con tinues to act with utter disregard of the S. P. C. A. and other charitable organizations. But vou gotta give ’em credit. The Turtles, we mean. They’re doing their best. • » • N 'OW, you mightn’t have thought so. watching that double-header Tuesday. There wasn’t much best about it, anyhow. Bill Smith’s help had on their hitting habits, and Pric. 1 and Thompson were tighter than the peel on a billiard ball, and that was all there was to it But you will recall that Monday s battle ended in a draw, in eleven in nings. And maybe Sarah Bernhardt and Company didn’t offer some resistance yesterday? Oh. we should say SOME re sistance! ♦ * * T HERE was E. Dent, now. Elliott was steaming along in great shape. He was fanning ’em, going and coming. Not a hint of approaching trouble afflicted Elliott’s honest soul. That was in the second, third and fourth innings. But in the last-mentioned frame, it came time for Mr. Dent to do a bit of sprinting. It is only 90 feet from home plate to first base. But that comparatively insignificant distance was enough to demonstrate one thing t*o Mr. Dent. He had taken on too much lunch eon. * * * AT a late hour last night the auto- autopsv was still in progress, and Elliott had not decided if it was the Cantaloupe or the Green Peas or the Veal Cutlets or the Ice Cream. Or the combination. * * * DE that as it may, and probably is, or at any rate should be—any how, Dent had just arrived at the slab to open on the visitors for the fifth inning when a terrific unhappiness struck him just over the heart, only not so high up and not quite so far to the west. # Practically at the same time, Mr. Schweitzer, of the enemy, struck one of Mr. Dent’s hooks and straightened the kink entirely out of it for a single. Athletics Riddled By Serious Mishaps PHILADELPHIA, PA., Aug. ' Connie Mack is struggling along, despite adversity of ill fortune, in a manner to make his Athletics top- heavy favorites in the American League pennant race. But the White Elephants are likely to have the time of their lives in making a favoraole showing against the" Giants in the world's series. At the present time ten of Connie Mack's athletes are suffering from injury or sickness. Catchers Schang and Thomas are forced to remain in the game with sdIU fingers because Lapp has a more seriously damaged hand. Orr has a split fin. and Strunk is »fl° u « , 5 r ; > 1 ' Danny Murphy has been in bed ■ ev eral days Pitcher Bush is out with a dislocated thumb.

O TGHT there Mr. Conzelman came ^ on and Mr. Dent 'reached for the emergency treatment. * * * M R. CONZELMAN got some emer gency treatment bfmself. The Turtles massaged him briskly. With four runs in and others sprouting. Slim Love was sponged off, tuned up, and wheeled to the center of the arena, promptly shutting off the per nicious activity of the opposition by getting two men out without further damage. • • * F course, it might have been men- ^ tioned up in front that Mr. Har rell had come to grief in the first inning to the extent of three runs, while another in the domestic portion of the Fatal Fifth and two more in the Gory Seventh eked out the third win of the series for the Crackers, 6 to 5. Love was almost invincible in the closing innings. • * * S CORE another for Grackerville. Tommy Long got three runs yesterday, the second tally being Tommy’s hundredth of the season, breaking the Southern League record of 99. Then he got another for good measure, and the chances are he will get eight or ten more before the flag flies, thereby setting up a fearfully discouraging mark for the Young idea to shoot at in future. Empire League Season Closes -!-«v •!* • *1- *!* • -I* *!-••> *r •*!« Manchester Gets Popularity Cup A MERICUS, GA., Aug. 28.—The Empire League season ended here yesterday with a com bined field day and ball game. Amer- icus won from Cordele, 2 to 0, in as pretty a game as has "been staged on the local lot this season. The field events were especially in teresting. Bowden,- of ('ordele, won the 100-yard dash .and the race around the bases. Chancey, who leads the league in home runs, won the fungo hitting in a walk. Dick Man chester. the most popular player in the circuit, was an easy winner in the long-distance throw. He heaved th^ pellet 492 feet. Bernstein proved t.) be the fastest man. in laying down and beating out a bunt. A throwing contest at a target was won by Fil- lemgem. the Cordele spitball artist * * * \I7HEN Dick Manchester came to ** the plate in the fourth inning, Colonel Deah Nesbit presented him with the silver loving cup donated to him by The Atlanta Georgian and Sunday American. Colonel Nesbit cogratulatod Dick on winning the popularity contest and made a very appropriate speech. * * * A MERICUS will be represented in the Empire League again next year with <i team even stronger than the present .one. Already the man agement is at work strengthening the team, and the fans of the town will get some real baseball next year. T N fact, A with glory Thomas covered himself yesterday—plastered ! and kaisomined himself with glory, and added some astonishing mur*l ! decorations by way of topping off the job. In the first day Tommy sprinted himself all the way to a pair of kick* and a new lid, winning the 100-yard dash and the ring-around-the-bascs event. Then, as aforesaid, Tommy busted \ the league record for getting runs, i and set another record. Al»u he hit , a home run and a double and made a bewildering circus catch in the field. Oh, Tommy had a pretty sad day— what? A ND while referring to the Paths of Glory, kindly do not leave out our o. f.. Rivington Bisland, Esq. Rivvy got four cute little hits in as many efforts, and ran up a string of ten chances handled without a skip. Our private hunch is that the G«* nius of Baseball has spread a wing over this Bisland ">rson. and it is no use for him to try to boot anything. * * * D KGULAR daily feature: Mobile won. Reason why Mobi 1 ^ didn’t win two: Played only one. Forecast for Mobile series: Thun derstorms. JOE MANDOT DUE IN NEW ORLEANS SEPTEMBER 10 NEW ORLEANS, Aug iG.

LAWRENCE, KANS., Aug. 30.— Kansas University football team, Leonard Frank, assistant c oach of the Kansas University football team, who recently tendered his resignation to accept a similar position with the University of Minnesota, will return here next month and resume his du ties as coach of the Kansas eleven.

FEDS PLAN TO ENLARGE LEAGUE NEXT SEASON INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 9 A—Plans were prepared to-day for the enlarging of the Federal Baseball League, the outlaw or ganization, next year. At a secret meet ing last night the club owners, it is said, signed bonds which will assure players their salaries for next year. The grounds at Cleveland. Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapolis will be abolished at the end of the season and new and more accessible locations will be se cured before the 1914 season opens. -It is possible that the league will be in creased to ten or even twelve clubs next vear INE Joe Conzelman To Fare Tuttles To-day Joe Conzelman is slated to work on the Turtles this after noon. in the effort to make it four games in a row from Bill Bery- hardt’a bunch. For their part, Rube Kissinger ,is due to toil, and we should have a fin*^ little lively time with the Rube—that is, if we are planning to trim him. He is not exactly what would be called easy trimming. Elliott Dent, who was overcome with luncheon in the fifth inning of yesterday’s game, checked in O. K. this morning and wanted to work to day, but Manager Smith told him to take it easy. Dent had toiled four good innings yesterday, anyway, aril naturally would be a bit off edge, starting over again to-day. Manager Smith heard from his Sa vannah friend yesterday, the treasur er of the Indians, who wants to play the Crackers a five-game series after the closing of the Southern League season. It norms the Indians want to nego tiate on a fifty-fifty basis at the gate, which Bill fancies is a bit lenient on the part of his hands. Two games were to be played In Savannah, two in Atlanta and the odd game would go to the city showing the most dis position to attend the doings. Negotiations still are pending. Big Pole Declares That Baron Box Artist Lays Off When His Team Plays Crackers. C HATTANOOGA, TENN.. Aug. 28. Harry Ooveleskie, well-known in Southern League fandom as the star hurler of Kill Elberfeld’s Lookouts, is peeved at one William Prough, of the Barons. Wee Willie, just at present, is the only lad who is leading the Pole in the race for the medal for the leading hurler of Pater Kavanaugh’s circuit, and the Hun openly charges that the elon gated Baron has held his lead by laying off during both series with the Atlanta Crackers. Just at present Prough has won 21 and lost 5 for a percentage of .805, while Covey has won 24 and lost 8 for an average of 750. but the Pole is of the opinion that Wee Willie kept his average from being 21 and 7 by dodging an engagement with the Smithmen. The Barons lost two straight series lo the Crackers, and the future Tiger does not believe tiiat they would have fared any bet ter with the ex-Red on the mound. Local fanatics are pulling hard for Covey for the hurling trophy, os they considered him entitled to it. He has pitched in harder luck than any man in the league end among the eight games that are charged to him as lost is a no-bit affair w-ith Char ley Case, which the Hun lost, 1 to 0, on errors. He lost two consecutive games when the Lookouts failed to score behind him In ns many innings. And yet in spite of this he has hurled more innings than any man in the league, and still retains a wonderful average. ■ Opium Whiskey «nd Drug Habit* treated I at Home or at Sanitarium.
