No Danger of Crackers Joining in Managerial Shuffle, However.
FIVE CLUBS GET NEW MANAGERS, ALL OLD ONES
Rv O. B. Kroler.
W ITH the last echoes of a rous
ing baseball season dying
away, and not yet extinct,
like the dodo and Cholly Murphy’s
bluff and some other things’, such a
switching of managerial talent Is
under way in the Southern League
M very likely never was witnessed
before.
One would fancy all the contracts
expired about the same 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 bo old and w’ell-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,
Just as long ns any other year—when
Bill Smith did this, 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
v -' 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 ore
going to try a new deal.
Beginning with the runner-up, Mo
bile. which was parlous near to Hy
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 beintf meddled with, or both,
and there is going to be a change.
Sir Miguel is going to take a whirl
with the Memphis Turtles who an*
/lated to lose Bill Bernhard. And
m place of Sir Miguel in Gullville
fchere will be a fine little manager
^ith a square chin, who. it appears
•a us, certainly would not have been
selected by the aforesaid directors
with a view to working a meddle on
him.
His name is Bobby Gllks. 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 UR old friend Johnny Dobbs Is
going from Montgomery to
Chattanooga, and Captain Bill El-
wert will get his Job piloting the
Bllllkena At least, the present lay
out looks that way.
Chattanooga, having lost Kid Ifl-
berfeld, will welcome Johnny with
open arms, w r hile Cholly Prank, hav
ing had scandalously little luck run
ning his old ball club this year, is
equally giad 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.
TV/f OBILE, Memphis, Chattanooga,
Montgomery and New Orleans,
then, will start under different man
agers In 11*14, 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.

requirements necessary for the twirler to succeed in both the majors and

rpHE difference between big league
* pitching and minor league w'ork
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 it is Just as easy to win
in the lowyr 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 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 befier Matters 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 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 who
face you are under Instructions not
to hit at any bad pitched balls.
I have seen minor league batters
I hit with two and nothing and thre«>
and one. In fact, it is a common oc-
currence; but you will not see it in
1 the big league If you have two and
nothing on ihe butter he will muke
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
i* more curve bail pitching, i 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 be wants
to. Johnson rarely ever uses a curve
ball
Christy Mathewson is the some
way, though he is using more curves
this Meason 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
ST LOUIS. 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-
agersnip the other day when George
Stovall was ousted, but held out for a
share of the club stock, which was re
fused.
YY7 E not© with pleasure that the
Mobile fans, who put up a sub
stantial pursue 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 they 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 jelaimant,
to-day canceled Burns’ managerial
contract and simultaneously unbos
omed a confession. In a signed state
ment Pelky m^kes 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
We?* 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 account*
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 fig'ht 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. From that time on he made me
virtually a slave to his whims.”

12 Georgia Men Out in Togs
+•+ +••£• -5-«-5- -!•••!• +•-!•
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 flrst real practice of the
season on Sanford Field yesterday
afternoon.
The death of Coach Cwnningham’s
wife and his absence in Kentucky for
the past several days caused many of
the players who were to be here om
the 10th to delay their arrival several
days.
By Monday there will be practically
all the material oh 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 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 Ketron, who is to
have charge of the Itns, 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 of
the men report.
Paddock, Henderson and Malone
aro expected by Monday. Hitchcock
will be on hand for an end, while
Powell Is now un his way from Eu
rope. where he has been bicycling aJl
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.
