N ashville, tenn.. s©pt. 15.—
Now that the chief topic of
conversation 1n connection with
Southern League baseball ha* grown
to be a guessing contest as to what
club Johnny Dobbs will head next
season. Montgomery and Chattanooga
having been eliminated by Johnny’s
own statement, considerable specula
tion la attached to a dark and mys
terious conference held In Nashville
between Dobbs and Barney Barnard,
of the Cleveland Naps, while the
Montgomery club was paying a final
visit to the Vo Is.
Bill Schwarts and Barnard have
for many years been very close
friends, and the Cleveland mogul
never fails* to drop around to see the
Vols’ pilot whenever he happens to
be in Nashville. That's what made
it seem strange to the Boy Manager,
when, one afternoon, during the last
series with the Blllikens. he walked
over to the visitors' bench to speak to
]>obbs and. lo. and behold, there sat
Barney engaged in a very earnest
and low conversation.
Barney looked a little sheepish, but
never advanced any information as
to the nature of bis chln-fest with
the Montgomery boss. And Schwarts,
after he had passed the time of day.
and pulling his sweater a little closer
around him to protect himself from
the chilly weather (?>, beat it back to
tlie Yoltf dugout.
It didn’t take Schwartz long to put
two and two together, after Dobbs
admitted that he and Barnard had
been discussing some of the Pelican
players, in answer to a request from
Bill as to Dobbs’ opinion of Kratf. the
New Orleans first sacker. on whom
the Vols’ chief had gotten sweet. Bar
nard told Dobbs, so Johnny gave it
out. that Kraft was impossible as a
fielder the Naps having tried him for
two years and found him not up to
grade. It's a curious thing about
| managers, that when they want to re.
‘ tain a bah Mayer, how much fault
they can find with his fielding, hit
ting and baserunning, but w hen he is
on the block, for sale, “phenom”
makes the tall timbers sound like or
chard grass.
Dobbs may not go to Sew Orleans
but It is Ju»t possible that he and
Barney framed up a deal that after
noon for a berth in Peltcantown.
GREAT FALLS WINS RAG.

By Ed W. Smith.
W HY i* it that th« big men
of the ring, the heavyweights,
have been the peats that have
stirred up trouble and more or lean
have always been the disturbing
element in having the game
stopped in various places? You’ve
noticed, haven't you, that big fel
lows usually are concerned when
trouble starts? This idea is sug
gested by the "confession” made
by Arthur Pelky. the man who was
in the ring with Luther McCarty
when the latter dropped dead In a
Calgary ring. Pelky says his battle
with Tommy Burns, a six-round af
fair of last March, was a "frame"
and that it was previously re
hearsed several times. Burns later
managed Pelky and a short time
ago announced that he intended lo
take him to Europe and possibly
get on a match with Jack Johnson.
• • •
F OLLOWING recent fatalitie* in
the ring this "confession,” even
If It Is afterwards found to have no
foundation, is going to do a whole
lot of harm Unfortunately, the
target of Pelky’i» remarks, who
makes vehement denial to the whole
thing, has been mixed up in pecu
liar looking affairs before and In
stantly that old scandal out in Los
Angeles between Tommy Burns and
Jack O’Brien, of Philadelphia, ii
brought to mind when the former's
connection with this latest off
color scAndal is uncovered. Bums
and O’Brien were matched out there
and later developments were to the
effect that Burns had agreed to
let O’Brien stay the distance or let
him win or something of the kind.
As they were ready to start the
contest Burns advised O'Brien that
the battle would have to be on the
level. O'Brien thereupon made a
desperate effort to have the bets
called off. but failed and the ring
side scandal that ensued is still
being discussed out that wax.
• • •
CCANDAL ha* trailed Burnt in
^ other directions. There was a
row when he failed to battle Bob
Fitzsimmons at Essington. Pa.. and
there was much sour talk around
here when Mike Schreck was bat
tling at his best and Tommy re
fused to meet him. Nasty telegram*
were produced to show that Burns
wanted to "talk it over’’ with John
Wille. but all of this was forgot
ten when Burns won the heavy
weight championship by defeating
Marvin Hart.
• • •
T HERE’S an old ringside saying
that the "bigger they are the
harder they fall ’’ In the light of re
cent events we'll have to change
that to read "The bigger they are,
.the less courage they have." At
least the assumption is that fixers
are entirely lacking in courage or
else the> wouldn't want to fix. Good
little men like Bat Nelson. Ad Wol-
gasr. Freddie Welsh. Packey Mc
Farland. Willie Ritchie, and dozens
of others we could name, have al-
way* been content to .‘ttand on their
own merits and fight their best,
losing if they must, but always
losing honorably.
!\ \ OST notable of ail the scan-
1 dalous fights of the ring that
entailed a lot of suspicion have been
among the bigger men. There was
an awful stench following the night
that Big McVey Jumped into the
ring the night Jim Corbett and Tom
Sharkey w’ere boxing and lost the
fight for Corbett on a foul. The
facts of the Wyatt Karp decision
in San Francisco the night Sharkey
is supposed to have been beaten by
Bob FMtzsiinmons on a foul are stiil
fresh in the minds of those who
follow' such matters, to say nothing
of the scandal that followed the
Jim < ’orbett -Kid McCoy encounter
at the expiration of the boxing law'
in New York in 1899
• t t
THERE was much trouble over
* the Jack Root-Tommy Ryan
battle in Philadelphia and more
recently almost everybody w'lll re
call that scandal came out of the
Jack Johnson-Stanley Ketchel bat
tle on the coast, during which
Johnson "took" a knockdown from
his opponent when it didn't look
possible that Ketchel could knock
him down vvith the aid of a base
ball bat. So it looks as if the mon
umental faking has been done
among the big fellows, though
doubtless there are many entirely
honest and upright men trying to
battle their way into a prominent
place in that division. Probably
there are a lot of shady boys among
the minor classes, too, but they cer
tainly never pulled off things as
rotten as some of those show’n by
the heavies.
• • •
IT BEHOOVES those Athletic* to
* look a little out. Mack* base
ball team can not lose many more
gam>s, although they can continue
to do so safely unless the Cleve
land bunch braces and wins now
and then while the Sox- and a few-
other teams are taking vigorous
wallops at the Philadelphia gang.
The Naps certainly have wilted sad
ly under the present strain, worse
even than did Mack’s crew. They
haven’t shown a high degree of
courage, that's sure.
* t •
THE end of the baseball races is
* a hit too near us to prove very
exciting One league or the other
may pull a close finish, but it isn’t
likely. Those birds out In front are
used to the fire and nothing is going
to stop either of them—seriously.
Carl Morris Will

NEW YORK, Sept 16.—Carl Mor

to-day matched by Billy Gibson to
battle Al Reich, the former amateur
heavyweight champion, in the feature
bout of ten rounds at the Garden
Athletic Club next Friday night.
Reich entered the professional rank.<

GOOD ELEVEN
C LEMSON COLLEGE, S. C., Sept.
15.—The fact that only the old
students have as yet reported
at Clemson makes it impossible to
make a satisfactory prediction as to
the make-up of the Tiger team. Coles,
Kangeter and Turbeville will not be
back. Captain Gandy, nevertheless,
is quite hopeful over the prospects
for a winning team.
Coach Williams is here and he has
already inspired the men with hope.
The Tigers believe in Boh Williams,
and they work for him as they will
for no other coach. Coach Williams
is among the silent men when it
comes to giving out the dope, but
there is no more faithful worker to
be found on the gridiron.
The football field is full of candi
dates every afternoon. The men move
around like veterans. There is plentv
of material among the old men, and
it is said that there fire several prom
ising men among the recruits who are
to report next week.
Rip Major, the captain of last year’s
Auburn, is the assistant coach. He
once wore a Clemson uniform and is
familiar with the Tiger tactics. Major
has starred at nearly every position
on a football team, and will render
valuable service in whipping the
Tigers into sha]«r.
Clemson has a stiff schedule for
this fall, as follows:
October 4.—Davidson at Clemson.
October 11 — Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
October 18—Auburn at Clemson.
October 29—South Carolina in Co
lumbia.
November 1—Citadel in Charleston.
November s—Georgia in Athens or
Augusta.
November 16 Mercer at Clemson.
November 2 7—Georgia Tech in At
lanta.
J. R. Douthit is the manager of
the team. He is arranging several
games for the Second string of play
ers. There Is considerable satisfac
tion here over the fact that Clinton.
Furman and Newberry have all en
tered the lists, and the Tigers hope
that all these Institutions may have
strong teams this fall.

ANOTHER LOCAL LADY
WONDERFULLY BENEFITED
It certainly must be a pleasant
surprhse for a person to find a re
lief from long years of suffering,
especially when they have tried al
most every treatment on the mar
ket. Quaker Herb Extract and OH
of Balm are surprising these suf
ferers every day. There have been
thousands of bottles of the Quaker
Herb Extract sold in this city, and
the sale Is increasing every day.
What is the cause of this wonderful
demand? Here is a report that
will explain, and others that you
read about every day.
Miss Florence Harris^ who lives
with her mother and lAther at 148
Lindsay street, has taken two and
one-half bottles of the Quaker
Herb Extract, and this has caused
her to expel a female tumor or
growth which she says positively
weighed in the neighborhood of
eight pounds She said she tried
every doctor of any repute, with
the advice from each one that an
operation would be necessary. She
also states after thlB thing was re
moved she had to go to her family
physician and have several appli
cations made to overcome the irri
tation caused by this trouble.
.She could do walking of any kind
and could remain up for Just a few r
hours at the time. Suffered from
shortness of breath. She was very
w’eak for some time after this thing
was expelled. Now', as I have Just
stated, there is no doubt but some
thing was expelled, and no doubt
she is sincere in her statement.
She is very enthusiastic over the
results obtained.
If you suffer as did this woman,
or with rheumatism, catarrh, liver,
kidney, blood troubles, call to-day
at Coursey & Munn’s Drug Store,
29 Marietta street, and obtain Qua
ker Herb Extract. 6 bottle* for $5;
3 for $2.50, or $1 per bottle. Oil of
Balm, 25c, or 5 for $1. We prepay
express charges on all orders of *3
or over.
