Charley Frank comes’ right out in an interview—after getting back to New Orleans all In one section—and he says some pretty gloomy things about Mobile and Mobile fans. • * * E VIDENTLY the Dutchman Is pret ty sore—or else he lias been gen erously misquoted. He says that every eiort of effort was made in Mobile, from using un- worthv protests of friendships to open warfare and possibilities of the well- known Hoos-Gow. to bring about an easing up of the Pelicans in the two games they played in Mobile, and es pecially the Sunday game, on which ail depended. Frank is quoted as saying that there was a consistent effort made, on the field and off, to provoke his players into fighting, which would have resulted in arrest, which would have resulted in a weakened line-up. which would have resulted—by the same method of reasoning—in a pen. nant for Mobile. By Fuzzy Woodruff. T HE shouting and the tumult hav ing died in approved fashion. It Is now incumbent for the pallbearers to don their white gloves, the mourners to remark on the final conversation with the late lamented and the undertaker to look forlorn as he smiles Inwardly on pocketing a handsome fee. Baseball obsequies are as true to precedent as a funeral ceremony. The loser congratulates the winner, the winner commiserates with the loser, the club owners formally feed the athlete*, the popular player is given a watch fob with crossed bats and a date engraved on It, whether he has a chronometer or not. and tne All League team is picked All except the last have been done. Now for the “dust to dust” stuff. ALL-SOUTHERN FOR 1913 Street (Chattanooga) Catcher Schmidt (Mobile) Catcher Coveleskie (Chattanooga) Pitcher E.

The standard of the organi zation vsas raised considerably In 1913, and a fine cohort of regular ball players were developed. Thev cover each position and stand out In as noticeable has relief as the eagle does on a new-milled Iron dollar. Beginning with the behind-the- plate position, it is found that the palm must be awarded to veteran players Strange to say. this is the case with almost every other position The men who have had major league experience were undoubtedly the most valuable in the South this year. combination. No one can question thoir effectiveness. There were other good pitchers working down in these parts, notably Gil Price, of the Crackers; Curly Brown, of Mont ginnery; Bradley Hogg, of Mobile; Finis Wilson, of New Orleans, and old Rube Kls-in- ger, of the Turtles, but the mentioned five oeem to me to be the best com bination. p HARLEY STREET, of Chatta- nooga, and Charley Schmidt, of Mobile, appear to have it on the other catchers by a considerable distance. The warm climate of Dixie seemed to bring the former Senator and the quondam Tiger back to their old big tent effectiveness Put one other catcher in the league compared with them and he is H irrv Chapman, the youthful Cracker back- stopper Chapman undoubtedly has e roseate future, but he has a lot to learn. Hi‘> principal drav bac k was In his method of working his hurlers. Two out of three of his signals were for curve balls, and this undoubtedly caused much of the weakening of the Cracker pitchers in late inning* %nd their general tendency toward vihlness. Street and Schmidt are both excel lent generals., great receivers, ex cellent peggers. Both hit hard and opportunely. They should be given *he jobs. F IRST base Is as easy to pick as the winner In a political race be- tween Republicans and Democrats in Cobb County. Joe Agler stands head a * shoulders above all the others. Gene Paulet runs a favorable sec ond. but not even the most rabid Mobllian ci/uld clas?» the Gull guar dian of the first cushion with the sen sational southpaw of the Crackers.

Bill Prough, of t ie Bamns. 'Pug” Cavet, of the Gulls and Elliott Dent, of the Crackers. Here are three right-handers and two southpaws, an ideal pitching A f shortstop, there is no question ** for a second. Rivington Blsland Is not only the best stortstop in the Southern League this* season, but is very probably the best fhortstop that the South has ever produced. More wonderful fielding than he showed In the crucial Mobile series has never j been seen, while his work was uni- | formlv game, consistent, and timely. Milton Stock, of the Gulls. d*ser\vs honorable mention, as does Roy El- lam. of the Barons’, and Cotton Knaupp. who showed a revival of form after joining John Dobbs’ outfit. scrappy Lookout manager. Elber- feld played third as well as he did any other position and he played them all as well or better than any man in the league, so we'll make Mr. El- berfeld the third-sacker. IN the outfield, two positions are * given by a unanimous vote. Davy Robertson, the slugging Gull, is sent to left and Harry Welchonce, of the Cruckers, to center. There can be no dispute about their qualifica tion?. The right field position causes trouble. There is Tommy Long, of the Crackers. Sloan, of Montgomery. Baerwald, of Memphis. Any of these would be acceptable. But Bob Mes senger. of Birmingham, gets the honor. Mes engor Is perhaps the fastest man in the league. He lr a finished fielder and has th<e most accurate thrown g arm seen In this league since the days of Ike Durrett. He bangs the ball at so near a .300 clip that he might be put in that select company, and he is withal a man always in supreme condition. T AKF.N all in all. the club looks de cidedly stronger to me than any A11-Southern team has in years. Just as the race this year has looked de cidedly better than anv race since 1908. Of this club, every man has had major league experience, with the exception of Cavet. It's true that the experience of some of them hae been brief, but they've been up there and will go again. Street starred for years with Wash ington, while Schmidt was perform ing similar duty for Detroit. Coveleskie pitched himself Into fame and the New York Giants out of a pennant when he was with the Phillies. He has also seen service with the Reds and next season goes to De troit. Elmer Brown worked a season for the St. Louis Browns and will be a Dodger next year. Bill Prough has worn a Red uniform and will be on the Detroit pay roll from now on, while Dent worked briefly for the Senators and goes hack to Griffith. Agler worked a while for the Cubs while Chance was manager and Is due to work again for the Peerless Lead er with the Yankees next year. Wares has had experience with the Browns and goes back to them. Bisland was with Pittsburg for a while, but in asmuch as It was his job to horn Hans Wagner out of work, he nat urally fell down, and without dis grace. Elberfeld has worn the uni form of Detroit, the Yankees and the Senators. In the outfield. Robertson has been and will be a Giant again. Harry Welchonce was tried out by Wash ington. while Bob Messenger has tw ice been with the White Sox. Beyond peradventure, this has been the veterans’ big year. New Motor Records Due To-night • .’ r • -i- *r +•*!• v®v Graves and Richards Gash T HAT io bad enough—if the Dutch man has been quoted correctly. But the other side is worse. The New Orleans manager is quot ed as saying that friends of his in Mobile came to him. “hinting at things.” and asking if it were pos sible that he intended td allow Mo bile to be beaten out of a pennant. It seem? Mr. Frank informed these friends that he not only intended to allow Mobile to be beaten out of a pennant, but he nad some ideas of taking an active part in the beating. At any rate, events bear out that surmise. Flynn and Morris May Be Matched CHICAGO. Sept. 9.—Jim Flynn ar rived In the city yesterday and lost no time in getting in touch with Lar- ney Lichtenstein, manager of Carl Morris*. Flynn agreed to meet Morris and it is probable the match will be closed to-day. Flynn is anxious to box Morris in Kansas City, where he defeated A1 Kaufmann in 1911.

Richards and Graves are to meet in a special match race. There will be three heats. The first over a route of one mile, the second will be two miles and the third three miles. The match race to-night will be a continuation of a series of clashes held last week. Richards on his famous Indian No. 23, and Graves on his record-break ing Excelsior, rode three heats lust week at the drome, the average speed being 8S miles an hour. Graves won the first heat, Richards the second, and the third was a dead heat. Their side bet of $50 put up last week still goes at to-night's races, and there will be thrill after thrill in the three heats that they will ride, one, two aud three miles respectively. Richards has one leg on the handsome silver trophy that goes to the rider winning three finals in the Southern championships at the drome. Richards won this last week and will be out after the second leg to-night. The man that wins this cup will be designated the southern motorcycle champion. Here is to-night’s "program : SOUTHERN CHAMPIONSHIPS—(Heats 1 mile, finals 2 miles, 25 points for first, 15 for second and 10 for third.) First Heat—Lockner, I.ewis, Glenn aud Graves. Second Heat—Renel, Luther, Swartz and Richards. SPECIAL MATCH RACE—(Best two out of three, 1, 2 and 3-mile heats, for side bet of $50.) First Heat (1 mile)—Pinal southern championships. SWEEPSTAKES—(French point system, 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 (2 miles.) Second Heat—Sweepstakes (5 miles.) • Third Heat—Sweepstakes (7 miles.) F OR our part, we would rather not go too deeply Into what may have occurred in Mobile. It doesn’t matter now. But vve would take a positive posi tion on two points. Point 1—We do not believe that Mike Finn had any part in any of the activities, as charged, either the rough-neck tactics or the “friendly” overtures. Mike is not that kind of a sport. Point 2—Discussed in the follow ing chapter, which might be cap tioned: "The Fighting Dutchman.” T HIS for the Fighting Dutchman. Let's get it in the record that Charley Frank did one grand turn for clean baseball when he sent his men out on Monroe Field Sunday afternoon to win that ball game at any cost.
