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. oGpEN. FT AH. Sept. 15.—The season of the Onion Asociation of- fk ialij dosed to-day here w ith games at Salt I>ake. Great Falls and Helena. Great Falls takes the pen nant with.Walt Lake as the conten der. \ 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 Battle Al Reich NEW YORK, Sept 16.—Carl Mor ris. the Oklahoma heavyweight. w:ts 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.< last Friday night at the Garden A C. *n a bout with Sailor White. After five rounds, in which Reich had all the better of the fight. Referee Joh stopped the bout to saye the Sailor from a knockout. THERE HUS 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. Baseball Summary. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Game* To-day.

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. t
