No Danger of Crackers Joining in Managerial Shuffle, However.
FIVE CLUBS GET NEW MANAGERS, ALL OLD ONES
w
By O. B. Keeler.
ITH the last echoes of u rou#-
ing baseball season dying
away, and not yet extinct,
like the dodo and Pholly Murphy's
bluff and some other tilings', »uch a
switching of managerial talent is
under way in the Southern I/eague
as very likely never was witnessed
before.
One would fancy all the contracts
expired about th<? name tick of the
clock the same tick having Just
ticked.
Oddly, enough, too, there will not
be a single little stranger in the new
deal.
All will be old and well-remembered
maps.
• • •
THE 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. 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, calendarically speaking,
Jurt as long as any other year when
Bill Smith did this, the directors
k hauled out the seldom-used Silver
Plater 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, ia considered pome what bet
ter than fair.
Billlken*. At least, the present lay
out looks that way.
Chattanooga, having lost Kid Kl-
berfeld, will welcome Johnny with
open arms, while ('holly Frank, hav
ing had scandalously little 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 witere It will do the most
good.
VTOBILE, Memphis,
*** Montgomery and
Chattanooga,
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 ajnbition
to lick them, whlfh will probably
give rise to .» highly-complicated and
Interesting situation.
All of which is good for the fans
and the Grand Old Game.
W" ; .
note with pleasure that the
Mobile fans, wiio 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 entirelv worthy of the
game th6y patronize.
Pelky Quits Burns;
Brands Him Taker
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 Bums’ managerial
contract and simultaneously unbos
omed .i confession. In ;t signed state
ment Pelky makes the charge that
he and Burns,'the former at one time
world’s champion, faked their six-
round light at Calgary. March 26.
Pelky alleges that Burns lured him
Weft 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 deli vert'd 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
w ith Burns. It was at Calgary, anu
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 Bums.
“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. Prom that time on he made me
virtually a slave to his w'hims.’*

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 arc 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 tm Memphis Turtles, who are
alated to lose Bill Bernhard. And
in place of Sir Miguel in OulTvtlle
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 Gtlks. He for
merly managed the old Shreveport
club, and this season he was a scout
for Cleveland, also lust season, and
the season before.
Also, he is a good old scout—and a
prime manager.

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 thf
idea that it is Just us easy to win
in the lower leagues as it Is to pluck
strawberries in June. A few of these
pitchers will 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 hi>» 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 fer If the
pitcher is wild In moat cases* ho has
a hard time to get a proper 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 wh<
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 f» 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
he w ill 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 ail
that is necessary. In the minors it
i» more curve ball pitching. I never
saw ?*> many curve balls in my life
until 1 invaded the minors.
Walter Johnson Is a notable ex
ample of the big league pitcher. He
can pitch the ball any place ha wants
to. Johnson rarely ever uses a curve
ball.
Christy Mathewson is the same
way, though be is using more curves
this reason than he ever did.
The pitching in the big league i?
a trifle harder and the impositions
on the heaver more severe, but you
can tak» it from me that w orking
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

ST. LOUIS, Sept 12.—Branch Rickey
and Colonel Robert Hedges, owner of the
Browns, have come to terms anti 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 15.
The terms of Rickey's contract are
kept secret, but it is believed a bonus
was given. Rickey was offered the ntah-
agersnlp the other day when George
Stovall was ousted, but held out for a
share of the club stock, which was re
fused.

“A MAN’S GAME”
12 Georgia Men Out in Togs
v**r +•+ v#t +•+
Full Squad Expected Monday
A thens, oa., 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 flrsit real practice of the
season on Sanford Field 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
daya.
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 was 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 inetalled. Practice will
be held every afternoon and the work
will grow more strenuous as more of
the men report.
Paddock. Henderson and Malont
are expected by Monday. Hitchcock
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 this
year Bowden. Covington, Peacock,
Lucas, Arnett, Harrell, 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.
