5 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. VOLS HELPED AIDING PELS Hirsig Allowed Frank to Retain Kraft, Despite Waiver Claim and Liking for Mike Finn. N ashville, tenm., sept. 10.— While the Atlanta fans are fill ing up fat poeketbooks 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. But just like wonders that will naver 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 there with his buldgeon. fighting the Gulls every second of those tw T o 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” Harr v Welchonce, and where would Billy Smith’s crew have been but for that demon slugger? If Lefty 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. Set New Record For Light Car Class CORONA, CALIF., Sept. 10.—Ed ward Waterman, aged 20, and a new comer in the automobile racing game, yesterday established a world’s rec- ocrd for automobiles of 231 cubic inches piston displacement, when he covered 102.45 miles at an average speed of 63 miles an hour.

Well, Jeff Finally Got Over a Decision By Ci Bud” Fisher ME STAHL IS LEAD BROWNS 1 t CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—Jake Stahl. ^ who was deposed as manager of the Red Sox some time ago and who at 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. There 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 Browms will accede to the request of the league head that Stahl be given the berth. Yale and Williams In Big Golf Meet PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10.—The soiling teams representing Yale and Williams Colleges met to-day in the final battle to decide the intercolle giate championship.

IMMUNE. “How delightful!" said the stranger as he ci ossed 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 he happy on that superheated shore. So he called his imps about him and he said : “Oet busy, guys! We must treat this fresh young stranger to a heluva surprise" And they threw him in a caldron fllicd with boiling gasoline, But he smiled and said : “J think this is the coolest place Vve 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, *•fell me truly. / implore, Why it is you like the dimatc on this superheated shore?" And the stranger gayly chuckled and responded in his mirth: "1 played ball in old St. Louie when l roamed upop the earth." Jimmy Austin has been appointed manager of the Browns, but have not been able to learn what heinous crime James has committed. Verily, time flies. Only a few months more and Walter Camp will select his All-Yale team. Reports from Brooklyn indicate that E. Reulbach has quit the badger figh 1 game and taken up the art of pitching. It is said that Mr. Reulbach could not agfee with the climate in Chicago He always found the atmosphere over heated in the vicinity of J. Evers.

Sept. 10.—What may well be tefmed 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 McGoorty, of Oshkosh, and 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 Heddjfig law and the victor can easily lay claim to the championship. Of course, Jimmy Clabby 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 Carpentier, 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 the good fortune to be at the ringside should witness a real scrap. The match has been hanging for weeks and \\as 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 ton 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 out come of the clash. The weight for the contest has been set at 1*50 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 day© before the encounter.
