C HICAGO. Sept. 8.—Hal Chase,
the White Sox first sacker is
quite certain that the goddess
that rules baseball Is an admirer of
gameness. The first baseman maybe
wouldn't make such a confession, but
■Manager Callahan, who entertains the
«ame notion, Is willing, and In Man
ager Callahan's present state of mind
he would take oath upon it.

Plays Though Crippled.
Well, that ankle became worse and
w hen Cleveland was reached it looked
a certainty that Hal would have to
get out of the game. Did he? He
did, not. He played first base al
though It was torture. He didn't
walk to the Sox bench between in
nings during the Labor Day games
It meant too much pain. He hobbled
after the balls hit in his direction
But he stuck.
Manager Callahan wired for Rousch
and expected to send him to the out
field and John Collins to first. You
see. Fournie also was on the hospita’
squad and could not run.
When the Sox took the field for the
final practice Collins started for first
and Rousch to the outfield.
“What's the idea?” queried Chase
of Collins.
"Manager told me to play first,"
answered Shano.
"What’s the matter? Can’t I play
first to suit you?" queried Chase of
Callahan.
"You can’t play,” was' the answer.
"Your ankle is too bad.”
“I’ll play, all right.” was Hal's re
tort. And back in his brain was the
thought that he would show those
ready to say “I told you so.”
Ankle a Handicap.
Oh. yes. Chase played. He wasn't
his old self, Every time he stepped
he Jimped and it was very noticeable
as he ran out his hits. His homer
was a. terrific wallop and had he
been free of .pain he would have been,
in the vicinity of the plate before the
outfielders ever got near tile hall.
Do you still doubt Chase? It’s
difficult to see how a man could give
a stronger proof of his faithfulness
And don't you believe that the fate
that,. .rules the game is fair? For
Chase certainly deserved all the
plaudits that, came his way.
Atlanta Autodrome
A Hit With Race
Fans All OverTJ. S.
Atlanta's new Autodrome is
creatjng- a new sen-station- through
out the United States, and is
fceing talked about from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. That th*'
Autodrome will put Atlanta before
the eyes of the world is evidenced by
correspondence from Barnev Oldfield,
now on the Pacific coast to Wiley
West.
Oldfield says, “Your Autodrome Is
being talked about with much enthu
siasm on the coast."
Recent letters received by Mark
Nabors from R. B. Van Dyke, gen
eral manager for the automobile de
partment of the American Locomotive
Company, of New York, says, “Your
new Autodrome will put Atlanta in
the limelight of all civilization."
Another expert who handed a boost
1o th.e project is Earney Moross. who,
in a recent letter to Frank Weldon,
says. “The new Autodrome will un
doubtedly be the sensation of the age
in the eyes of the world and will
bring more visitors to your city than
anything else you might undertake,
and will give Atlanta more public
comment, than a million dollars would
buy.”
That the Autodrome- will prove be
yond a doubt the biggest success pos
sible is evidenced by the fact that
over 200 of Atlanta’s leading busi
ness men have already subscribed to
stock and are behind it in every’ Bense
of the word to push it with all rapld-
itv to completion.
The first big meet is scheduled for
three days during the second week
of November. All’of the most famous
drivers in the United States have.been
secured for this meet, which, prom
ises to be the greatest and most sen
sational autodrome races the world
Players Like to Win Too Much to “Throw” Game, Says Lou Castro
PEL VICTORY PROVES BASEBALL HONEST GAME
By Lou Castro.
M IKE FINN is a warm personal
friend of mine, and I think a
lot of him. I thought he was
going to win a pennant this year,
sure, and while I’m true to Atlanta,
I would rather have seen the rag go
to Mike than to anybody else outside
of Billy Smith.
But here’s a point I want to make:
I’m glad the last game at Mobile
went the way it did, because it proved
that baseball, the best and biggest
sport in the world, also is the clean
est: that there is not, never has been,
and never will be, dishonesty in base
ball.
• • *
CO far as I am concerned—and I
have been playing the game- six
teen years—I never have had a doubt
of the honesty of baseball, and I never
have seen anything to make me think
there might be a doubt of it.
In this last series. I have heard fel
lows I supposed were true fans and
good sports say that in their opinion’
the race would be MADE to end in
a tie, so .that a special series could
be played off, for the money that
would be in it for both clubs.
Well, if the result of the game in
Mobile yesterday doesn’t nail those
opinions for what they are worth, I
don’t know anything about baseball,
or honesty, or anything else.
• * •
T AKE another instance:
In the South Atlantic League
this season. Savannah won both pen
nants. If the directors of this club
had been out for the money alone,
they certainly would have "pulled” a
little in that second race, and there
by made possible the seven-game se
ries that is played extra when two
different clubs win the flag in that
league.
It would have been mighty easy
money, if you believe the knockers of
honesty of baseball.
BUT SAVANNAH WON BOTH
PENNANTS.
• • •
’"P'HERE really Isn’t any need for
me to discuss the uselessness of
trying to “fix" a ball club so it will
lose, but while on this topic I would
just like to say a few words from a,
ball player’s standpoint.
Nobody ever had any Iudlc trying
to “fix” a game, and nobody ever
will. Nobody would dare try to fix
nine or ten men. And suppose a
pitcher was dishonest enough to lis
ten to such a proposal—as soon as
he showed signs of going bad or
playing off, he would be yanked with
out delay. The same applies to a
Catcher or any other player—and no
one man can "throw” a ball game.
• • •
O N the other hand, if the manager
himself was bought, he would
have to issue orders to his men to
let the game go—and can you imagine'
a worse position for any human being
than that of a manager with his men
knowing such a thing about him. and
absolutely without respect for him
and always having something "on”
him. as - long as he was in baseball,
or on the face of the earth?
HTHERE’S nothing to this thing of
1 "framing up” baseball.
The men who are at the head of
baseball organizations may not be anv
better than any otrier business man
—but they are no fools, either. And
they know, as business men, that the
first hint of "fixed baseball" would not
them out of business, and send the
greatest sport on earth on the way
of horse racing and wrestling.
Get that—these mogul persons may
not be any more particular in morals
than other business men, but they are
not fools.
• • *
A ND one more viewpoint—just that
of the plain, every-day ball play
er. out there in the field, or at bat.
Talk about booting or-s in the pinch,
or fanning purposely, or willfully
dropping a throw?
Nothing to it.
Deep in the he i of every ball
player is that old ball playing instinct,
just like the instinct of the blood
hound that will follow a scent till
he drops.
Take it from me, when a ball player
is out there with blood in his eyes
and sweat on his face, and facing a
tight game in the pinch, that ball
player is going to give the best he has
in the shop to every play that comes
up—because he can’t help it! No man
ever need tell me a true ball player
will let one go by in the pinch, for
money or anything else.
It’s the old instinct—and It’s as
true as steel.
In fact, there's so little in this fool
talk of dishonesty in baseball that I’m
surprised that I have written this
much about it.

Brunswick Seeks
Major Team Visits
BRUNSWICK, GA., Sept. 8. —
Brunswick is going after a big league
ball club for the spring training quar
ters. During the next week the at
tention of every manager of the major
leagues will be called to the advan
tages offered by Brunswick. George
Stallings of the Boston Nationals,
and Frank Navin, the owner of
the Detroit American Leaguers, were
in this city last winter and they both
expressed themselve.i as pleased with
Brunswick as a training place.
With a good ball park, a hotel ca
pacity accommodating all the play
ers, a climate unequaled, and every
other advantage, there is no reason
why Brunswick should not secure at
leant one big league club during the
coming year, and the Brunswick
Board of Trade will take the matter
up with the managers of all the
clubs.

RETAINS TENNIS
TITLE OF 1. II. C.
C ARLETON SMITH retained his
title as tennis champion of the
Atlanta Athletic Club by de
feating the 1913 challenger. E. V.
Carter, and 'Bryan Grant and Carter
won the club championship in dou
bles by beating Carl Ramspeck and
J. K. Orr, Jr., in the closing matches
of the club tournament, which Mis
just ended.
The tourney was full of interest
and close matches, and there was
more than one upset in the prelimi
nary dope that always precedes a club
meet, where players of known and
established rating are entered.
Carter was the winner of the tour
nament in singles, defeating E. B.
Mansfield in the finals, 8-6, 2-6, 7-5,
after a great struggle. He gave
Smith a gr^nd battle in the opening
set of the challenge match, but the
champion overmatched him from that
point on, though every set was sharp
ly contested The scores were 7-5,
6-2, 6-2.
Grant and Carter got away with
their first two s^e against Ramspeck
and Orr in comparatively easy fash
ion, but encountered a desperate re
sistance in the last set, when the
younger players rallied and by some I
of the most brilliant tennis seen on
the. A. A. C. courts this year forced
their veteran opponents to go the j
limit to Win. The scores were 6-2,
6-3, 7-5.
Crackers, Gulls, Lookouts, Barons and Billikens All Factors in 1913 Race
SOUTHERN SEES FIRST FIVE CLUBFINISH
By Fuzzv Woodruff.
N ineteen - thirteen. . hoodoo
year, year of Democratic suc
cess 1 , year of women voters, slit
skirts the tango, and every other
impossibility, has been most remark
able in the South from the Southern
League baseball race.
Never has such a battle been
fought. ,
Never will such another be waged.
When the league was reorganized
in 1901, Newt Fisher galloped in with
Nashville. In 1902, he repeated, with
Little Rock his only contender. In
1903 Charley Frank 'led Memphis to
victory by the narrowest margin
above Little Rock. Nobody else was
near.
In 1904 Memphis repeated, with
Atlanta crowding, but only New Or
leans was in sight. In 1905 Frank
and his Pelicans made a runaway
race, with Ike Durrett’s Montgomery
club finishing close up in the last
two weeks of the race, but the issue
was never in doubt.
In 1906 Harry Vaughn won. with
Birmingham on the chin strap, and
in 1907 Hill Smith came in pretty
much the same way with Atlanta
after a grueling finish with Charley
Babb, of Memphis.
In 1908 Nashville, under Bill Bern
hardt, nosed out New Orleans in the
final game, but nobody else was close.
Atlanta’s victory in 1909 was easy.
and in 1910, New Orleans was never
crowded. In 1911 Montgomery and
Birmingham each gave the Pelicans
a battle, but neither ever happened
to be seriously dangerous. In 1912
the Barons won as they pleased.
* * *
B UT in this year of 1913 the Crack
ers won from five teams. From
the drop of the flag until the wire was
crossed there were five teams in the
race. Atlanta, Mobile. Chattanooga,
Birmingham and Montgomery were
factors from start, to finish.
As far as thrills go, its equal has
never been seen.
Atlanta started with a rush, but in
ferior pitching soon put the Crackers
in a position that made them forlorn
hopes.
Mobile had been furnished an ex
cellent foundation for a ball club by
the Giants. Robertson’s hitting,
Hogg’s unexpected effectiveness as a
pitcher, Cavet’s improved form, and
tlie stellar work of Paulet, Starr and
Stock, made the Gulls the odds-on
favorites.
T HE Gulls assumed the lead in May.
They were never headed until
Johnny Dobbs made his sensational
bid for honors in July and early
August.
Dobbs’ race was sensational. He
had an inferior ball club.
He had one great pitcher. Elmer
Brown, and he used him to such ad
vantage that he gradually crawled
up on Mobile until he assumed to lead
for a few brief days.
Brown was then worn to a frazzl*.
and when the crucial series with the
Gulls came he was helpless.
Montgomery was routed.
Even the courageous Dobbs lost
heart and from that time on Mont
gomery was an easy team for the sec
ond division clubs.
Elberfeld, with Chattanooga, off to
a bad start, fought well throughout
the season, and although he was never*
an actual pennant possibility, he was
always to he feared, and he was al
ways feared.
The same could be said of Birming
ham Moles worth suffered from the
slump of McGilvray in hitting and
the absence of the swatsmanship of
Almeida or he would have been Just
as good as he was when he won the
pennant. But these factors were
missing and the Barons were lucky to
finish in the first division.
A TLANTA never really began its
race until the final month of the
season.
Then Bill Smith drpw his baton.
Then the spurs* wore applied.
Then the team showed.
The finish is dramatic enough to
be the background of a magazine
story.
It will live in Southern League
history.

B. Bernhard Will
Surely Not Lead
Memphians Again
MEMPHIS, TENN., Sept. 8.—
Among the five managerial changes
scheduled by the wiseacres to inter
vene between now and April next Is
the dismissal of Bill Bernhard from
the managership of the Memphis club
in favor of either Johnny Dobbs, of
Montgomery, or Mique Finn, of Mo
bile. It is definitely settled that
Bernhard will not return here, al
though he has proven a satisfactory
manager.
What the local officials want is a
man with major league connections.
Hence the offers to Dobbs or Finn.
It is expected that something definite
as regards the managership will be
made public this week, as Finn or
Dobbs is due to visit President Cole
man to-day or to-morrow.
Clyde Wares and Jack Manning,
members of the Montgomery club,
left last night for New York, where
they are to join the St. Louis Browns
to-morrow.
Secretary Adolph Jacobson, of the
Southern League, who was a visitor
to-day, ctates that there is a move
ment on foot in Little Roc to inter
est the league club owners in a cam
paign to oust Montgomery from the
league. A1 Chichester, an Arkansas
baseball enthusiast, is getting up the
petition, which, according to the sec
retary, will be submitted to the va
rious magnates during the next two
weeks. The Little Rock sportsmen
are prepared to offer $16,000 for the
franchise arid state they will pay
$10,000 to put in a winning club.

Benefit Game at Ponce DeLeon
A S soon as it was a settled mat
ter that New Orleans had beat
the Gulls yesterday afternoon
and that nothing could take the gon
falon of 1913 from the Crackers, Billy
Smith, the celebrated "crab mana
ger.” made’a wild dash for an out

nearly a dozen Atlanta players who
were starting for home.
"Come back, champs!” shouted Bill.
“There’s work for you to do.”
This is the job:
Wednesday afternoon, at 3 o’clock,
at Ponce DeLeon Park, the cham
pions of 1913 will be on exhibition to
their admiring friends in a game for
the championship of Atlanta, which
is the championship city of the
South.
Wallop Smith will captain one
team, and Rlvington Bisland, com- j
monly known as the Best Sho^stop
in tlie World, will head the other, and j
it is going to be some desperate bat- j
tie, aa Lou Castro, Otto Jodran and
George Winters also will be in the j
line-up. Thompson and Price will j
be the opposing pitchers, but if
promises of slugging hold anyw'here
near goo.J, other hurlers will be called
for both sides before the game is
over, r
The admission will be 25 cepts a
throw’, and sit anywhere you please.
The proceeds will go to the players,
and if there aren’t at least 10.000
loyal fans out there at Ponce DeLeon,
it will look as if the Gamest Team on
Earth Isn’t properly appreciated in
the city it has made famous.
It also is announced that there will
be field day events.
Following is the line-up of the rival
teams, as announced by Bill Smith
