Wo Danger of Crackers Joining in Managerial Shuffle, However. FIVE CLUBS GET NEW MANAGERS, ALL OLD ONES By 0. B. Keelrr. W ITH the last echoes of a rous ing baseball season dying away, and not yet extinct, like the dodo and Cholly Mhirphy’s bluff and some other things, such a switching of managerial talent Is under way In the Southern league as very likely never was witnessed before. One would fancy all the contracts expired about the same tick of the cloek. the same tick having Just ticked. Oddly, enough, too, there will not be a single little stranger In the new deal. All will ba old and well-remembered maps. THK Atlanta club, of course, Is 1 standing pat. Going a bit fur ther, in fact. That little contract with William Andrew Smith originally was dated to expire with the croaking of the 1914 season. Rut when Billy Smith projected the Atlanta club from the lowest rung on the ladder to the pinnacle of a pennant in one year— customarily known under such cir cumstances as a ‘•short” year, al though it is, calendarically speaking, Jus* as long as any other year—when Bill Smith did tills, the directors hauled out the seldom-used Silver Platter and presented on same a cod icil or extension to the contract, by which same was to run through, and including the year of grace 1915. CO Atlanta will have Billy Smith again next year, and the year after that, and if Billy doesn’t win a gonfalon either of those years. h« Mill will have a batting average of .500 per cent, which, in the Pennant League, is considered somewhat bet tor than fair. D UT some of the other cities are ^ going to try a new deal. Beginning with the runner-up. Mo bile, which was parlous near to fly ing the bunting this year, it appears that Sir Miguel Finn is tired of the meddling of directors, or the direc tors are tired of Sir Miguel’s being tired of being meddled with, or both, and there Is going to be a change. Sir Miguel is going to take a whirl with the Memphis Turtle*, who arc elated to lose Bill Bernhard. And In place of Sir Miguel In Gullville there will be a fine little manager with a square chin, who. It appears to us, certainly would not have been selected by the aforesaid directors with a view to working a meddle on him. His name is Bobby Gilks. He for merly managed the old Shreveport club, and this season he was a scout for Cleveland, also last season, and the season before. Also, he is a good old scout—and a prime manager O TTl old friend Johnny Dobbs Is going from Montgomery' to Chattanooga, and Captain Bill El- w r ert will get his job piloting the CHANGE Suburban Schedule Central of Georgia Railway Billlkene. At least. the present lay out looks that way. Chattanooga, having lost Kid El- berfeld, will welcome Johnny with open arms, while Cholly Frank, hav ing had scandalously little luck run ning Ills old ball club this year, is equally glad to retire majestically to the presidency of the Pelicans and from that altitude watch the Pepper Kid injecting paprika into the old machine w’here it will do the mos: good. IV/f OBII/E, Memphis. Chattanooga, Montgomery and New Orleans, then, will start under different man agers in 1914, and the race will be an interesting one to watch, for prac tically all of the new bosses have a close line on other clubs in the circuit—and an overweening ambition to lick them, which will probably give rise to a highly-complicated and interesting situation. All of which is good for the fans and the Grand Old Game. YY7 E note with pleasure that the Mobile fans, who put up a sub stantial purs»e for the Gulls when thej r looked sure to win the pennant, are going through with It, and will slip It to them in the hour of defeat. Ever^ once in a while, the fan bunch comes through with a glitter of sportsmanship entirely worthy of the game they patronize. PORTLAND, ORE., Sept. 13. — Stung by a guilty conscience and smarting under alleged mistreatment by Tommy Burns, Arthur Pelky, world’s heavyweight title claimant, to-day canceled Burns’ managerial contract and simultaneously unbos omed a confession. In a signed state ment Pelky makes the charge that he and Burns, the former at one time world’s champion, faked their six- round fight at Calgary. March 26. Pelky alleges that Burns lured him West from Chatham, Ont., and then finding him broke, forced him into a “fixed” match and staged night re hearsals of the battle In a garret. The expose w'as drafted in Portland several days ago, signed and sealed by Pelky and delivered over for re lease September 9. The breaking of the seal to-day revealed the con tents Pelky stopped in Portland en route to Calgary to close accounts with Burns. It was at Calgary, and under Bums’ wing. that Pelky fought -Luther McCarty, the w'hlte champion. McCarty expired shortly after Pelky knocked him out. *‘Our six-round light was called a draw',” says Pelky in his confession, speaking of his match with Burns. "But we had It all ‘framed’ up. I could have whipped him easily, but he w’anted to make a good showing before his friends there, and jnade *ne take two knock-downs to one for him. From that time on he made me virtually a slave to his whims.” Overall Explains Minor Hurling •!•»•!• +•+ +•*!* +•+ “As Hard as Major Pitching” Orvtlll Overall. who in;* for jirnrs n star twirler with the Chicago Cubs, erplains in the following article the difference in pitching in the majors and the minin' leagues.

I ^HE difference between big league pitching and minor league work is very slight. Of course It is hard to win In the big leagues, but the pitcher of major league caliber who is under the impression that he can win with comparative ease in the minors la not fully cognizant of the conditions that prevail In the minors. You have to work just as hard In the mihor leagues to win as you do in faster company. I have heard several big league pitchers of little or no minor league experience assume an air of brag gadocio in regard to minor league pitching. They.were Imbued with the idea that it is just as easy to win in the lower leagues as it is to pluck straw berries in June. A few of these pitchers w'ill see the folly of their talk when they are turned back. Different Baseball. But, to get back to the distinction between big league pitching and minor league work—It is simply this —they play different baseball, and. as a result the pitcher has to adapt him self to the style of his team. In the big leagues they play more for one run than they do in the minors, and this puts more of a burden on the pitchers. Then, again, the big league pitcher has better batters to face—men who are superior to the class of batters in the minor league A pitcher has to bring into play all the cunning at his command to fool some of them. Control Necessary. In the big leagues a pitcher has to have control. That is the most im portant requisite. It is the first point that the managers look for. If the pitcher is wild in most cases he has a hard lime to get a pitoper trial, but on the other hand, if he shows con trol he is in line for immediate work. The big league pitcher has to be able to stick the ball over the plate at any and all times, as the batters who face you are under Instructions not to hit at any bad pitched balls. I have seen minor league batters hit with two and nothing and three and one. In fact, it is a common oc currence; but you will not see It in the big league If you have two and nothing on the batter he will make you pitch the next two right over or he will not offer at them. Curves in Minors. Therefore, it is essential that the big league pitchers have splendid control. A good fast ball and control is all that is necessary. In the minors it is more curve ball pitching. 1 never saw so many curve balls in my life until I invaded the minors. Walter Johnson is a notable ex ample of the big league pitcher. He can pitch the ball any place he wants to. Johnson rarely ever uses a curve ball. Christy Mathewson is the «wnv» w'ay, though he is using more curves this reason than he ever did. The pitching in the big league Is a trifle harder and the impositions on the heaver more severe, but you can tak« it from me that working in the minors is no sinecure. I think that a successful pitcher in the minor leagues can win In the big leagues. Branch Rickey Will Lead Lowly Browns TICHEIiOR III 1-FINflLS W R.

GA., Sept. 12.—With twelve men out in uniform the Georgia football team, or at least a small part of the team-to-be. was givan its first real practice of the season on Sanford F*ield yesterday afternoon. The death of Coach Cunningham’s wife and his absence in Kentucky for the past several days caused many of the players who were to be here on the 10th to delay their arrival several days. By Monday there will be practically all the material on hand. But how much of the old team is to return and how promising the new men will pan out i6 yet unsolved. Both classes seem rather slow in reporting. The players out In uniform yester day were Captain McWhorter, Dor sey, last year's sub quarter, Fullback Thompson, Sub Halfs Broyles and Da vidson. Among the new men were Howard McWhorter from Gordon, where he was captain; Thrash, also of Gordon; Sldberry, of Riverside, and the Smith brothers of Riverside. Assistant Coach ICetron, who Is to have charge of the line, is expected this week from Washington. Pea cock, captain of last year’s team, ip already on hand and will take charge of the subs. Training quarters have been opened in Lumpkin Hall, where a training table is being installed. Practice will be held every afternoon and the work will grow more strenuous as more of the men report. Paddock, Henderson and Malono are expected by Monday. Hitchcock will be on hand for an end, while Powell is now vrn his way from Eu rope. where he has been bicycling all summer. Georgia loses for a certainty thin year Bowden, Covington, Peacock Lucas, Arnett, karrell, Wheatley and Sancken. The schedule is a heavy one, North Carolina, Virginia and L. S. U. being on the list. The L. S. U. game, how ever, is to be canceled, leaving Octo ber 11 an open date.
