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 ©lament In having the gamo ■topped In various places? You've noticed, haven't you, that big fel lows uaually are concerned when trouble starts? This Idea is sug gested by the "coiifesjiion" 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 whs previously re hearsed several times. Burns later managed Pelky and a short time ago announced that he Intended to take him to Europe and possibly get on a match with Jack Johnson. lias a GREAT FALLS WINS RAG. OGDEN. UTAH, Sept.

Great Falls take*- the pen- nan: with Salt Like a u*i conten- | uei 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 TH EY'LL HAVE A GOOD ELEVEN Baseball Summary, states Titles Are Here +•4- -l*«-r Smith and Mansfield WinDoubles AMERICAN LEAGUE.

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. Carl Morris Will Battle A1 Reich 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 lumbia. November 1—Citadel in charleston. November 8—Georgia in Athens or Augusta November 15—Mercer at Clemson. November 27—Georgia Tech in At lanta. J. B. Douthit is the manager of the team. He is arranging several gameo for the second string of play- era 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. Yesterday’s Results. No games scheduled. NATIONAL LEAGUE.
