N AHHVILLE. TENN., fiept. 15.—
Now that the chief topic of
conversation 1n connection with
Southern league baseball has grown
to be a guessing contest an to what
club Johnny Dobbs will head next
season. Montgomery and Chattanooga
having been eliminated by Johnny's
own statement, considerable specula
tion is attached to a dark and mys
terious conference held lh Nashville
between Dobbs and Barney Barnard,
of the Cleveland Naps, while the
Montgomery club was paying u Anal
visit to the Vols.
Bill Schwartz 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 Strang*- to the Boy Manager,
when, one afternoon, during the last
series with the Billlkene, he walked
over to the visitors' bench to speak to
Dobbs and. lo. and behold, there eat
Barney engaged in « very earnest
and low conversion.
Barney looked a little sheepish but
never advanced any Information ai
to the nature of his chin-feat with
the Montgomery boss. And 8chwartx,
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
the Vols’ dugout
It didn’t take Schwartz long to put
two and two together, after Dobbs
admitted that be and Barnard had
been discussing some of the Pelican
players. In answer to a request from
Hill as to Dobbs' opinion of Kratf. the
New Orleans first-sarker, on whom
the Vols' chief had gotten sweet Bar
nard told Dobbs. so Johnny gave It
out, that Kraft was Impossible a? 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.
rain a bal player how much fault
the> 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 New Orleans,
but It is Just possible that he and
Barney framed .,p a deal that after
noon for a berth in Psllcantown.
\Y/HY is it that the big men
W 0 f the ring, the heavyweights,
have been the pests that have
stirred up trouble and more or less
have always been the disturbing

F OLLOWING recent fatalities in
the ring this “confession,’’ even
if It la afterwards found to have no
foundation, is going to do a whole
lot of harm. Unfortunately, the
target of Pelky a 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 betw een Tommy Burns and
Jack O'Brien, of Philadelphia. Is
brought to mind when the former’s
connection with this latest off
color scandal is uncovered. Burns
and O'Brien were matched out there
and later developments were to the
effect that Burns had agreed to
lei 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 way.
\t OST notable of all the scan-
dalous fights of the ring that
entailed a lot of suspicion have been
among the bigger men. There was
an awful stent'll following the night
that Big McVev jumped into the
ring the night Jim Corbett and Tom
Sharkey were boxing and lost the
tight for Corbett, on a foul. The
fact's of the Wyatt Karp decision
In San Francisco the night Sharkey
is supposed to have been beaten by
Bob Fitzsimmons on a foul are still
fresh In the minds of those who
follow such matters, to say nothing
of the scandal that followed the
Jim Corbett-Kid McCoy encounter
at the expiration of the boxing law
in New York in 1899

THERE was much trouble over
* the Jack Boot-Tommy Rvan
battle in Philadelphia and more
recently almost everybody will re
call that scandal came out of the
Jack Johnson-Stanley Ketehel bat
tle on the coast, during which
Johnson “took'' a knockdown from
his opponent when it didn’t look
possible that Ke»rhel could knock
him down with the aid of a base-
oall 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 mep trying to
battle their way into a prominent
place in that division. Probably*
there are a lot of nhady boys among
the minor classes, too. but they cer
tainly never pulled off things as
rotten as some of those shown by
the heavies.
CCANDAL Hss trailed Burns 'n
^ other directions There was a
row when he failed to battle Bob
Fitzsimmons at Fssington, Pa„ end
there was much sour talk around
here when Mike Schreck was bat
tling at his best and Tommy re
fused to meet him Nasty telegrams
were produced to show that Burns
wanted to “talk it over" with John
Wille, bqt all of this was forgot
ten when Burns won the heavy
weight championship by defeating
Marvin Hart.
IT BEHOOVES those Athletics to
* look a little out. Mack’s base
ball team can not lose many more
games, although they can continue
to do ho »afely 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 n high degree of
courage, that's sure.
THE end of ths baseball races is
* a bit too near us to prove very
exciting. One league or the other
may pull a close finish, hut it isn’t
likely. Those birds out In front are
used to the tire and nothing is going
to stop either of them—seriously.

C LEM SON COLLEGE. S. C., Sept.
15.—The fact that only the old
students have as yet reported
at Olemson makes it impossible to
make a satisfactory prediction as lo
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 Bob Williams,
and they work for him hs 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
he found on the gridiron.
The football field Is full of candi
dates every afternoon. The men move
around like veterans. There is plenty
of material among the old men. and
it is said that there are several prom
ising men among the recruits who are
to report next w*eek.
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
oh a football team, and ‘will render
valuable service in whipping the
Tigers into ahai**.
Clemson ha?* a stiff schedule for
this fall, as follows:
petober 4.—Davidson at Clemson.
October 11—Alabama In Tuscaloosa
October 18—Auburn at Clemson.
October 29—South Carolina in Co

November 1—Citadel in charleston.
November 8—Georgia in Athens or

November 15—Mercer at Clemson.
November 27—Georgia Tech in At

the team. He is arranging several

that all these institutions may have

ket. Quaker Herb Extract and Oil
of Balm are surprising these suf
ferers every* day. There have been
thousands of bottles of the Quaker
Herb Extract sold In this city, ajid
the sa*e i* 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.
Mis? Florence Harris, who lives
w*ith her mother and father at 14S
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 pound*. 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 this 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 w*alking of any kind
and could remain up for just a few
hours at the time. Suffered from
shortness of breath. She was very !
weak 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 y*ou suffer as did this woman,
