I.—President Ebbets, of the Brooklyn club, and the McKeever Brothers all deny lhat Nap Rucker will be ex changed for Marquard and Herzog, of the Giants, and Ebbets also took oc casion to say that Manager Wilbert Robinson will have to keep hands off when it comes to a case of the dis posal of Daubert. Rucker or Wheat. Club owners do not look with pleas ure on a manager or anyone else but themselves bothering with their club’s assets, and players are in that class. But, nevertheless, while that is right in a way, still it is those man agers like McGraw and Mack who are given free rein and absolute author ity to release and engage their play ers who have been the most success ful and have made the most money for their employers. Interfered With Tinker. It was because of President Herr mann's interference with Joe Tinker in running the team that caused the manager to take a sensational fling at Herrmann last seaso and it was be cause Tinker insisted on full power for next year, which was not granted, that Joe*was not signed as manager for next year. It was because President Herrmann did not want to take the burden of Tinker’s release cause on his own shoulders that rhe officials of the club were induced to sign tiie statemeni alving the reasons of Tinker’s being brown down. Thai the Reds will lie n second division club next season seems to he a foregone conclusion. \ftor being In baseball for a year or more club owners get the foolish Idea that thev know how to run their cams as weil as. if not better than, the managers they hire for the Job l i ,.;, comes the friction between the magnate and manager, and the Jig is up as far as the v. Inning power of the team goes. , McGraw a Rea! Manager. John T. Brush, when he engaged Mciiraw as manager of the Giants Wise enough to give the latter fuli power over his players, anil he never Withdrew his managers absn- ute control. This was one reason why McGraw has been so remarkably sur- ressful "'bat McGraw- said was law, nr j th are was no going behind his or ders There tvas no appeal, not even to Mr. Brush. The basket ball season will be inau gurated by the Atlanta Athletic Club five J next Saturday night, when they dash ! against the Bessemer Athletic Club, from Bessemer. Ala The local team has been practicing for the past ten days and should be in j great shape for a tough game by Satur- ! day. They are looking for a harder ' game than they had with the Bessemer I squad last year, as reports state that the visitors are much stronger this sea son. Following is the probable line-up of the Atlanta team: Du bard, center (captain i: Forbes, Smith. Abbott. Wight, forwards; Carter. Weaver, Locke, guards. The line-up of the Bessemer team will be; Houston, center; B. S. Clay (cap tain), Donaldson, Bailey, forwards; I. Clay. Edmondson. Filrnore. guards. Will ‘Shop’ for Players Together B Johnny Dundee Gets New Orleans Match With Joe Rivers By O. B. Keeler. ILL SMITH expects to have some active support in his gum-shoe endeavors in New York about December 8 and 9. when the National League annual meeting comes off. C. T. Nunnally, a direc tor, is going on to New York on business Monday arid he told Biliv Saturday he would try to wait over for him and chaperon him through the toils and pitfalls of the session. Bill grinned and 'took uijto himself a hunch that with the Hon. Nunnally of well-known generosity in baseball matters back of him he could loosen up a few notches when it came to picking up a couple of inflelders, which is what Bill w’ill be trying to do in New York. As to the prospects. Bill has no more to submit Just now than that the Pittsburg bunch has a long string of youngsters and B. Drey fuss is a trading kind of a bloke. NEW ORLEANS, LA.. Dec. t.—Joe Rivers, the Mexican lightweight, who defeated Leach Cross last week, has been matched to box Johnny Dundee in a ten-round bout, here on Christmas Day. T. D. Tortorlch, promoter, closed the match yesterday. Riders Work Out in Six-Day Cycle Race NEW YORK. Dec. 1.—The entire con tingent of sixteen teams entered for the nix-day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden, which starts at midnight Sun day. December 7. began final framing to-day on the roads In this vicinity and at the Yailsburg, N. J.. motordrome. The German team. Paoke Busch and Applehaus, and tb© French foam. Perchicot and Breton, were out for practice. Perchicot is also entered for the feature event in the preliminary races next Saturday night against Frank Kramer, Jackie Clarke and Francisco Verrl for the world’s short distance championship This year, for the first time in the history of the six-day raoe. foreign teams overshadow the American en tries. There are only six American teams in the contest There are five distinct foreign teams and five combi nations. four of which are composed of one American and one Australian each, and one In which an Englishman will ride with an American Among the prominent entrants he sides those already mentioned are Glarke and Hehlr and Walker and Pye, of Vustralia; the Australia-American combinations F.f Coullet and Fogler. Grenada and Moran. Root and Mc Namara. and John Bedell and Corry, Fred Hill and Ryan and Walthour and otiins. America, and Verri and Brocco, Italy. T HE Cracker management is book ing exhibition games for the I practice season. These games already are arranged: Louisville. American Association, March 16. 17 and 18. Cleveland Americans. March 19. 20 and 21. New York Americans. March 26. Rochester. Eastern League, April " 8. 9, 10 and 11. The Boston Braves—so-called be cause it was sheer bravery that kept them in the National League for many seasons—also want a three- game series here, and invite the (’rackets to visit Macon and play them there. Dates will be arranged as soon as possible. • * » DY the way, t lie Braves’ comm uni- cation, written b\ George Stal lings. manager. is 4 a very cordial epistle, and includes an urgent invi tation to Bill Smith and the At lanta club’s directors to spend some time at Mr. Stallings’ big planta tion, "The Meadow," near Haddock. Ga. After requesting the exhibition games, Mr. Stallings writes: “If we have anything that will do you any good, we will be glad to help you all we can." That refers to players, of course. Pot the invitation— “The birds are plentiful, only too tame; they need someone to scare them up a little. Tell Messrs. Ryan and Nunnally if you can lure them thiq far away from the big city we would be pleased to have them with us and will try to fix up some real city food during their stay." Messrs Ryan and Nunnally, hav ing tried the said hospitality last year, agreed that no special induce ments would be needed to lure them down to "The Meadows" if they could possibly arrange, the visit. '“J"' Y COBB did his best stick work against the Boston Philadelphia and Cleveland pitch ers in leading the American League batsmen for the fiPh con secutive season. The Red Sox pitchers were the easiest of the lot. In the last campaign he faced the Boston twlrlers seven ty-nine times and banged out thirty-five safeties for an aver age of .443. He made seven hits off Collins in fifteen times up. eleven off Leonard in twenty- two tries, eight off Redlent in nineteen chances; three off O’Brien in the four times he faced Buck: two off Anderson in four attempts, and three off Moseley in ten chances. Cobb faced joe Wood three times, but didn’t get a safety, nor did he get a hit off Foster In the three chances he had against the Kid. Wyckoff- of the Athletics, was real meat for Tyrus. who found him for five safe hits in seven tries. THE appointment of Wilbert * Robinson to succeed Rill Dah- len as manager of the Superbas has met with great approval among the umpires of the Na tional League. “Lord" Byron declares that the owner of the Brooklyn team could not have picked a better man than Robinson to handle his team. There is a reason for ‘His Umps” madness. Bill Dahlen haunted the umpires night and day. w’hile. on the other hand. Robinson, mild and good-natured, rarely if ever gets into a con troversy wMth the czars of the diamond. LOOKOUT FOR IE B ILLY SMITH, manager of the Crackers, is not satisfied with the players lie has on hand for next season. This much was settled yesterday when the local manager stated that he will leave Saturday morning on a scouting trip. He will also attend the National League meeting at New York December 9. Smith plans to stop off in Wash ington en route to New York to have a conference with Clarke Griffith. Smith would like to get another in- fielder or two for next season, if pos sible. as from the present outlook of things the Cracker manager will be able to us£ a good man. At present Smith has Eible for first. McConnell for second. Jennings for short and Manush for third. Eible and Jennings are unknown quantities and Smith would like to have some one on hand in case either happened to fail to deliver the goods McConnell should have little trou ble in holding down the middle cush ion during the entire season. Hg was a star in the American League until he injured his legs, and should be heard from next season in this cir cuit. He is a fast man and a corking player to lead off. Manusli is well known around these parts. He proved a valuable player as substitute for the locals and is a good veteran to have on a team, espe cially when some of the players in the tnfield are youngsters. COOMBS LEAVES HOSPITAL. PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 1 Jack Coombs, the Philadelphia American league club’s pitcher, who has been a patient: in a hospital since before the world’s spries last October, left the in stitution to-day. Coombs contracted ty phoid of the spine during last spring’s training season. He expects to he in condition to Join the Athletics next year Food for Sport Fans QBORai ML PHAIR. PLAYERS SOLD. DECATUR. ILL., Dec 1.—Pitcher "Rube" Hildebrand ami Third Baseman Toner, of the Great Falls club of the Union Association, were purchased by the Decatur Three-1 league club. This is the first step taken for the reorgan ization of the club for the 1914 season. SOME JOB. Thr t/ents who own Ihr baseball club are always in his way And cross\ him on the slightest provocation: The creatures in the bleachers swing the hammer every day And pit his soul with sorrow and vexation. He gets it from the owners and he gets it from the molt And stands enough abuse to drive hifn batty. I thank thr Lord I do not hold the wretched person's job Who tries 10 run a team in Cin cinnati y. Leading * team In Cincinnati Is a great little Job except that the leader is suposed to remain seven blocks in the rear The report that the Kenosha club has signed Jimmy Clabby and Packey Mc Farland will be news to Jimmy Clabby and Packey McFarland. Not detracting one lota from Mr. Mc Farland’s record, but reports from Windsor indicate that Brewer fought like one. Recent events lead one to suapect that Garry Herrmann is the Fred Mer kle of the baseball magnates. JOE SHOULD BE WORRIED. Joe Tinker up and answered, thus: “/ do not care a Tinker's cuss.” Joe Tinker avers that he would rather work for Charlie Murphy than for Gar ry Herrmann. Gee, but Garry is a pop ular guy! Mr O’Brien, of Harvard, is accused nf having pulled a boner in the Yale game, but an investigation reveals (he fact that ii was the rules committee that committed the Merkle Automobile drivers next year will race for prizes amounting to $105,000. some of which will not go to the undertakers.

For he had tried tn shoot his gusds. And killed the deer.
