No Danger of Crackers Joining in Managerial Shuffle, However.
FIVE CLUBS GET NEW MANAGERS, ALL OLD ONES
By (). B. Koolor.
W ITH the last echoes of a rous
ing baseball season dying
away, and not yet extinct,
like the dodo and (’holly Murphy’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 Hume tick of the
clock, the same tick having Just
ticket).
Oddly, enough, too. there will not
be o .-ingle little stranger in the new
deal.
All will be old and well-remembered
maps.
• • •
THE Atlanta club, of course, is
* 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. But 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, ealendarically speaking,
Just as long as any other year—when
Bill Smith did this, the directors
hauled out the seldom-used Silver
Platter and presented on game a cod
icil *r extension to the contract, by
which simp 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.‘he
still will have a batting average of
500 per cent, which, in the Pennant
League, is considered somewhat bet
ter than fair.
• • •
B UT some of the other cities arc
going to try a new deal.
Beginning with the runner-up. Mo
bile, which was parlous near to dy
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 h change.
Sir Miguel is going to take a whirl
with the Memphis Turtles*, who an*
elated to lose Bill Bernhard. And
in place of Sir Miguel in Gullvllle
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 thin 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 UR old friend Johnny Dobbs Is
going from Montgomery to
Chattanooga, and Captain Bill El-
wert will get his Job piloting the
Billlkon*. 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 littJe luck run
ning his 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 where It will do the most
good.
A/fOBILE, 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 fan9
and the Grand Old Game.
E note with pleasure that the
Mobile fans, who put up a sub
stantial purse for the Gulls when
they looked sure to win the pennant,
are going through with It, and will
slip It to them in the hour of defeat.
Every once In a while, the fan
bunch comes through with a glitter of
sportsmanship entireW worthy of the
game they patronize.

riiHE difference between big league
I 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 Is not fully cognizant of
the conditions that prevail in the
minors. You have to work Just as
hard in the minor 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 if is just as easy to win
in the lower leagues* as it is to pluck
strawberries in June. A few of these
1 pitchers will see the folly of their
talk when they are turned back.
Different Baseball.
But. to get back to the distinction
j between big league pitching and
i minor league work It is simply this
they play different bajeball, 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 hie league pitcher
has better batters to face—men who
are superior to tne 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 leaeues a pitcher has to
have control. Tnat Is the most im-
i portant requisite. It is the first point
: that the managers look for. If the
| pitcher is wild in most cases he has
a hard time to get a proper trial, but
on the other hand. If he shows con-
! irol he Is in line for Immediate work.
1 The big league pitcher has* to be abb'
| to stick the ball over the plate at
’ any and all times as the batters wh
far" you are under instructions not
| to hit at any bad pitched balls.
I have seen minor league batters
hit with two and nothing and thr
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 l invaded the minors.
Walter Johnson Is a notable ex
ample of the big league pitcher. Ho
can pitch the ball any place he wants
to Johnson rarely ever use9 a curve
ball.
Christy Mathewson is the sam®
way, though he is using more curves
this reason than he ever did.
The pitching in the big league is
a trlfie harder and the impositions
on the heaver more severe, but you
can tak® it from tne 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
ST LOUTS, Sept. 12 —Branch Rickey
and Colonel Robert Hedges, owner of the
Browns, have come to terms and the
former will pilot the destinies of the
team the rest of the season. Rickey will
take formal charge following the draft
ing meeting held at Cincinnati Septem
ber 16.
The terms of Rickey's contract are
kept secret, but it is believed a bonus
was given. Rickey was offered the man-
agersmp the other day* when George
Stovall was ousted, but held out for a
share of the club stock, which was re
fused.

Pelky Quits Burns;
Brands Him ‘Faker’
PORTLAND, ORE., Sept. 12. —
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
Went 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 was 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 Burns’ wing, that Pelky fought
Luther McCarty, the white champion.
McCarty expired shortly after Pelky
knocked him out.
”Our six-round fight was called a
draw,” says Pelky In hl9 confession,
speaking of his match with Burns.
"But we bad it all ‘framed’ up. I
could have whipped him easily, but
he wanted to make a good showing
before his friends there, and made me
take two knock-downs to one for
hijn. From that time on he made me
vinually a slave to hi9 whims.”
12 Georgia Men Out in Togs
•$•••!• v**i* 4® 4 4*4
Full Squad Expected Monday
A thens, 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 given its firnt real practice of the
season on Sanford Field yesterday
afternoon.
The death o.f 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 is 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 Haifa Broyles and Da
vidson. Among the new men were
Howard McWhorter, from Gordon,
where he wa8 captain; Thrash, also
of Gordon; Sldberry, of Riverside, and
the Smith brothers of Riverside.
Assistant Coach Ketron, who Is to
have charge of the line, is expected
this week from Washington. Pea
cock, captain of last year’s team, is
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 o.
the men report.
Paddock, Henderson and Malono
arc expected by Monday. Hitcbcocl.
will be on hand for an end, while
Powell is now on his way from Eu
rope. where he has been bicycling all
summer.
Georgia loses for a certainty thi;
year Bowden, Covington. Peacock
Lucas, Arnett, Harrell, Wheatley ann
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.
