No Danger of Crackers Joining in Managerial Shuffle, However. FIVE CLUBS GET NEW MANAGERS, ALL OLD ONES By O. B. Keeler. W ITH the last echoes of a rous ing baseball season dying away, and not yet extinct, like the dodo and ChoTly Murphy’s bluff and some other thing**, such a •witching of managerial talent Is under wav in the Southern league ns very likely never was witnessed before. fine would fancy all the contract* expired about tha same tick of the clock the same tick having Just ticked. Oddly, enough, too, there will not be h Mingle little stranger In the new deal. All will be old and well-remembered mnps. • • • *T"FrE Atlanta club, of course, it * 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 whan 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. calendarlcally speaking, juf*t as long as any other year—when Bill Smith did this, the directors hauled out the seldom-used Stiver 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, he still will have a batting average of .500 per cent, which, in the Pennant league. is considered somewhat bet ter than fair. arc B UT some of ?he other eit g*'ing to try a new deal. Beginning with the runnef-up. Mo bile, which was parlous mar to fly ing the bunting this year, it that Sir Miguel Finn is tired of the meddling of director*, or the direc tor* are tired of Sir Miguels being tired of being meddled with, or both, anti there is going to be a change Sir Miguel is* going to take a whirl w-'h the Memphis Turtles who are elated to lose Bill Bernhard And in place of Sir Miguel in Gullvilia there will be a fine little manager th a square chin, who, it appears RllHkens At least, the present lay out looks that way. Chattanooga, having lost Kid El- berfeld, will welcome Johnny with open arms, while ("holly Frank, hav ing had scandalously little luck run ning his old hall 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. VdF OBILE, Memphis. Chattanooga, *** Montgomery and New Orleans, then, will star* 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. \Y7 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 entire’’- worthy of the game they patronize. Overall Explains Minor Hurling ^•+ +•+ +•*!• *!•••!* “As Hard as Major Pitching” Orvall Overall, who iron for years a star twirlei• with the Chicago Cubs, explain* in the following article the differ ewe in pitching in the majors and the minor leagues. Overall is a brainy pitcher and he has figured out the requu eon'llts necessary for the ticirler to siexeed in both the majors and minors By Orvie Overall. (Former Chicago National Pitcher, Now With San Francisco.) 1 “*HE difference between big league pitching and minor league work very slight. Of course it i* hard to win in th** big leagues, but the pitcher of major league caliber who is under the Impression that he can win with comparative case in the minors is not fully cognisant of the conditions that prevail in the minor*. You have to work just as hard In the minor leagues to win as you do In faster company. 1 have heard several big league pitcher* 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 league* as it is to pluck appear* | strawberries in June A few of these pitchers will see the folly of their talk when they are turned back Different Baseball. Rut, 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 pitt her has to adapt him self to the style of his team.

Adv. this puts more of a burden on 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 baa 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 case* he has a hard time to get a proper trial, but on the other hand, if lie shows con trol he is in line for immediate work The big league pitcher h:*.«i 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. 1 have seen minor league batters hit with two and nothing and thre and one In fart it is a common o< curreme; but you will not see n in the big league If you have two and nothing a4i me uatter he * ill make you pitch the next two right over or he will not offer at them. Curves in Minor*. Therefore, it is essential that the big league pitcher* have splendid control. A good fast ball and control 1s all that is necessary. In the minors it 1* more curve ball pitching. 1 never saw s«> many curve balls in my life until I invaded the minors. Walter Johnson is a notable ex ample of the big league pitcher. Ho can pitch the hall any place he wants to Johnson rarely ever uses a curve hall Uhrlsty Mathewflon is the same way, though he is Using more curves this sieaaon than he ever did. The pitching in the big league is a trifle harder ami the impositions on the heaver more severe, but you can tak-» it from me that working in the minors Is no sinecure. 1 think that a successful pitcher in the minor leagues ran win In the big leagues TICHENOR IN SEMI-FINALS •ITT R.

ORE., Sept. 12. — Stung by a guilty conscience and smarting under alleged mistreatment by Tommy Burn-. 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 his confession, speaking of his match with Burns. “But we had 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 him. FYom that time on he made me virtually a slave to his whims.” 12 Georgia Men Out in Togs •!• • -!• 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 firwt real practice of the season on Sanford Field yesterday afternoon.
