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.

Adv. 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.

KNOvu^y Sr 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. Weak, Nervous and Diseased Men ermanently Cured DR. HUGHES is an experienced specialist.
