Hirsig Allowed Frank to Retain
Kraft, Despite Waiver Claim
and Liking for Mike Finn.
N ashville, tenn., Sept. 10.—
While the Atlanta fans are fill
ing: up fat pocketbooks to pre
sent to Pitcher Finis Wilson and
Timothy Hendryx, they might at
least extend a vote of thanks to Pres
ident William ‘•Alibi” Hirsig, of the
Nashville club. That sounds para
doxical. especially when “Old Alibi"
and the Cracker moguls have barked
at each other all season long.
Rut just like wonders that will
never cease, the Vols’ boss, for one
time in his baseball career, came
through with the clean stuff. Hirsig
had a chance to practically wreck
the Pelican team, when waivers were
asked on First Sacker Kraft, who was
claimed by the Vols. but he pulled
some true sportsmanship and agreed
to permit Kraft to remain with New
Orleans, when they were about to
hook up with Mobile in a crucial se
ries.
Frank little dreamed that the flag
hunt would settle down to a death
grapple between the Pels and Gulls,
but the Dutchman always peers into
every corner of the future and begged
Hirsig to let Kraft remain in New
Orleans to guard against the unex
pected. Chubby Cholly agreed to re
lease Kraft back to the Vols at the
end of the season if Hirsig would re
lease Clarence to the Pels after he
had been claimed by the Vols at the
waiver price.
Hirsig knew that for the sake of the
league he should agree to Frank’s
proposition, and maybe Kraft wasn’t
right in ther with his bludgeon,
fighting the Gulls every second of
those two heart-breaking struggles.
The way he hammered the slants of
Campbell and Cavet was a great big
factor in sending the bunting to
Crackertown.
And all this time don’t lose sight
of the fact that Hirsig was crazy for
Mickey Finn to cop the gonfalon.
But for the good of the league he
slipped into the Pelican’s web-feet
the brick with which they busted
both wings of the poor old flopping
Gulls.
Another instance of the Vols help
ing the Crackers: Didn’t Hirsig
“donate” Harry Welchonce, and
where would Billy Smith’s crew have
been but for that demon slugger? If
Hefty Williams hadn’t got into the
habit of trimming the Finnites most
every time he faced them—but what’s
the use of going any further? The
Crackers owe the Vols a great big
bunch of thanks, and that’s all there
is to it.

LEAD BROWNS l
t "CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—Jake Stahl,
who was deposed as manager
of the Red Sox some timo ago
and who dt the time announced that
he was through with baseball for all
time, is said to be slated for the man
agement of the St. Louis Browns next
year, if present plans materialize.
Ban Johnson, who has always been
friendly to Stahl, has been trying to
induce Colonel Hedges of the St.
Louis club to take on the former Red
Sox leader. Th-ire is some hitch in
the proceedings, however, due to the
demand by Stahl for some stock in
the club. It is said that Hedges is
unwilling to dispose of any of his
holdings.
Branch Rickey, the present secre
tary of the Browns, was expected to
land the job, but he also wants a
share of the stock, which is the chief
reason he was not named to succeed
Stovall at once Instead of Jimmy
Austin.
Hedges and Johnson have been
none too friendly for several years,
and it is doubtful if the owner of the
Browns will accede to the request of
the league head that Stahl be given
the berth.
•ACK PRINCE pulled out for
Chattanooga this morning. Re
sult: There will be motorcycle
races at the ’Drome this evening.
Prince was in our midst yesterday.
Result: It rained and the races
scheduled for last night were post
poned for twenty-four hours.
The feature event to-night will be
the special match race between Morty
Graves, on his speedy Excelsior, and
Tex Richards, on the famous Indian
No. 23, the machine that has caused
the death of five riders, including
Johnny Albright and Eddie Hasha.
All records are likely to go to
smash when these boys get U> going
to-night. Besides the purse hung up
the lads have wagered $50 on the out
come.
There will be three heats. The
first will be fine mile, the second two
miles and the third three miles.
Richards has one leg on the hand
some silver trophy offered by Captain
Bill Stoddard that goes to the rider
winning three finals in the Southern
championship at the ’Drome. Tex
won last week and will be out to
capture the second leg to-night. The
man that wins this cup will be des
ignated the Southern motorcycle
champion.
Following is the program carded for
to-night:
Southern Championships—(Heats 1
mile, finals 2 miles, 25 points for first,
15 for second and 10 for third.)
First Heat—Loekner, Lewis, Glenn
and Graves.
Second Heat—Renel, Luther, Swartz
and Richards.
Special Match Race—(Best two of
of three, 1, 2 and 3-mile heats, for
side bet of $50.)
First Heat (1 mile)—Final South
ern championships
Sweepstakes—(French point sys
tem. 10 for first, 6 for second, 2 for
third.)
First Heat (3 miles)—^Lockner.
Lewis, Glenn. Swartz, Luther and
Renel.
Second Heat—Special match race

IMMUNE.
“How delightful!'* said the stranger
a8 he crossed the River Styx,
And he calmly took a stroll upon a
pave of red-hot bricks.
And it made the Devil angry, for it
stung him to the core
That a stranger should be happy on
that superheated shore.
So he railed his imps about him and
ho said: “Get busy, guys!
'We must treat this fresh young
stranger to a heluva surprise.**
And they threw him in a caldron
filled with boiling gasoline,
But he smiled and said : “l think this
is the coolest place I’ve seen.*’
All in vain they turned the steam on,
all in vain they shoveled coal.
It was almost hot enough to melt a
baseball magnate’s soul.
“Tell me, stranger.” said the Devil,
”trll me truly, I implore,
Why it is you like the climate on
this superheated shoreT*
And the stranger gayly chuckled and
responded in his mirth:
“/ played ball in old St. Louie when
l roamed upon the earth.”
Jimmy Austin has been appointed
manager of the Browns, but we have
not been able to learn what heinous
crime James has committed.
Verily, time files. Only a few months
more and Walter Camp will select his
All-Yale team.
Reports from Brooklyn indicate that E.
Reulbnch has quit the badger fight game
and taken up the art of pitching.
It is said that Mr. Reulbach could
not agroe with the climate in Chicago.
He always found the atmosphere over
heated in the vicinity of J. Evers.
Joe Tinker, who recently spoke some
forceful words concerning one Garry
Herrmann, will be hired to manage the
Reds again next year. This is Garry’s
method of getting revenge.
C. Dryden, the g^ntlemanlj expert,
kicks In with the information that Ping
Bodie’s batting average is 600.10, the
extra .10 being the cost of the stem.
MIDDLE TITLE
By E. J. Geiger.
CHICAGO. Sept. 10— What may
well be termed a middleweight cham
pionship battle Is to be staged in the
ring of the South Side Athletic Club
of Milwaukee on the night of Sep
tember 22, when Eddie MoGoortv, of
Oshkosh, ami Frank Klaus, of Pitts
burg. exchange wallops in a ten-
round contest. Ben Steindel, the
Milwaukee promoter, closed the match
to-day through Tommy Walsh.
The bout will be the first impor
tant ring struggle under the Hedding
law and the victor can easily lay
claim to the championship. Of course,
Jimmy dabby Is to be considered be
fore the claim can be undisputed.
Klaus figures as the most promi
nent of the middleweights. His win
over Billy Papke in Paris after the
latter defeated Georges Carpentler.
the French champion, makes him
stand out as the top-notcher. And
Klaus, often referred to as the “Pitts
burg Bearcat,’’ is some mauler, and
those who will have tin*, good fortune
to be at the ringside should witness a
real scrap.
The match has been hanging for
weeks and was closed only after
Steindel guaranteed the battlers
something like $3,000 for their serv
ices. New York was hot after the
contest, but would not outbid the
Beer City club.
McGoorty is in New York, where
to-night he meets Barney Williams in
a ten-round contest. Immediately
after he will return home to begin
training.
Being a native son of Wisconsin,
Eddie naturally will have a tremen
dous following, but the fight fans can
not 'forget the ability of Klaus when
passing judgment on the possible put-
come of the clash.
The weight for the contest has been
set ai *80 pounds at 3 o’clock, a few
pounds over the regular 158-pound
limit. No referee has been selected
as yet, this to be decided a few days
before the encounter.
T WENTY-FIVE men reported for
first football practice at Tech.
Only one varsity man of last
year was on hand, Ed Means, the
hefty guard, but at least five more of
last year's team are expected by next
week.
The speedy leader of this year’s
varsity. Captain Cook, and the grit
ty little center, A1 Loeb, have been
working all summer as blacksmith
and concrete mixer, respectively, and
will be in prime shape when they re
port.
An old Tech sub of the 1909 team
has also reported. His name is Spence,
and he is some man. standing six
feet two and weighing close to two
hundred pounds.
Two of the Chattanooga cracks re
ported this afternoon. They were
Johnston and Cushman and both look
like comers In the football world.
Jean Patton. Eust Tennessee’s most
famous prop halfback, and Morrison,
a cracking good lineman, will be in
by Thursday.
Four or five of last year’s scrub
team also showed up and look much
heavier and speedier than last year.
All of them are going to give some
good man a terrible fight for a place
on the team. They are, Rainey, a
tackle: Trawick. a renter: Beard, an
end; Gardner, a halfback, and Moore,
an end and dropkicker. Rainey, es
pecially, has attracted a lot of favor
able comment from the coachers by
hi.* heady and brilliant play last year.
He Is big and fast and is said to be
one of the hardest tacklors who ever
donned a Tech uniform.
It is rumored at the Flats that
Devore, All-American tackle, from
West Point, has been secured to coach
the varsity line. Tech will indeed
be lucky if it succeeds in getting
such a man. If he comes he will be
given complete charge of the line;
Coach Helsman will take the varsity
back.-' and ends, while Alexander will
handle the scrubs.
