The Crackers have learned that
Billy Smith is to manage the club
next season, and those who know
the present leader of the Look
outs are confident that he will again
prove a successful chief in the
Gate City.
After leaving Mobile. the Crack

Smith to Lead CRACKERS and Board of Directors to Stick
Street Raiway Company Hang On Local Franchise

poor was the work of the men who
took their places that the Crackers
had to be contented with sixth
place. And that fall the Nashville
and New Orleans team fought it
out for the pennant.
In 1909 Bill Smith came back
again. Despite his inability to find
real first baseman, despite the
weakness of Walker at third, de-
spite the slowness of Newton at
short, Bill made runaway Of it.
His success was due chiefly to the
grand work on the slab of Johns,
Fisher. Atkins and BARLEY and the
almost unequalled defensive work
of the team. The club numbered
only one hitter-Sid Smith. But
Sid could usually be counted on to
drive in a run or two and the
Cracker pitchers would do the rest
Then a strange, and to the fans
an inexplicable and an unforgiv-
able thing, happened. Bill Smith,
the man who had won two pen
nants in three years, was fired.
To the baseball association this
was the logical thing to do. Smith
did not run the club according to
their notions He did not like to
be hampered by the modern f1nan-
cial methods of street car COM
pany He figured that a street
70 I l..
and a baseball club another. And
he believed further that so long as
he was winning pennants nothing
else mattered.
And because he and the baseball
association couldn't agree he was
let out and Jordan was named
manager
= INCE the divorce of Smith and
the Atlanta Baseball associa-
ton nothing has gone very well for
either of them. Smith got the lob
as manager of the Buffalo team
through the good offices of Clark
Griffith, but he couldn't make a 60
or 1t. The following year he went
to Chattanooga and he served as
manager there last year and this
year. On neither occasion has he
had any success, despite the fact
that he started last season with
what looked like the best ball club
ever gathered together in the
Southern league.
a Nd now Smith is coming hack
to Atlanta. The papers haven't
been signed yet, but they will be a
the close of the season.
And the man who won five pen
nants in sixteen years will be back
at the old stand.
1t is'needless to say that the fans
are tickled to death. They could
hardly be otherwise. 1t is equally
certain that Smith is pleased to re-
turn to the scenes of his greatest
triumphs
1t means further that Atlanta
Will have a sclapping. winning
team next year. For that's the
kind Smith has always turned ont
for Atlanta

it eventually developed that the
whole thing was nursed along by
Charley Frank for press agency
purposes and finally it quieted down.
But the incident and the way Bill
Smith handled it showed to the
public with rare clearness that Bill
Smith would fight for his players
and for his team.
THEN came Atlanta's pennant-
winning season-the first for
q years. Twice before in baseball
history the Cracker club had
COPIED. The first time was in 1885
and the second in 1885. In 1885 the
local club won after a grand race
with Savannah. In the deciding
game Hank O'Day pitched for Sa-
vannah and, despite his grand ef-
forts. Atlanta won.
Naturally the Cracker fans were
ravenous for a pennant winner.
And Bill Smith gave it to them
When Bill broke into the league
the other managers were inclined
to refer to him as a fresh bush
Lacquer" But his first season he
threw an awful scare into them.
And the second season he won their
pennant.
1t was a marvellous team that
Smith built up-a club that could
spot the present Southern league
pennant winners a couple of runs
and then beat them seven out Of
ten games. Ed Sweeney and Sid
Smith did the catching both
later went to the big leagues. Ford,
Zeller. CastletOn and Spade were
the pitching mainstays, with Hoot-
Mon Mckenzie the sensation OF the
latter part of the sea son, after
ZeHer began to fade away Fox,
Jordan. Castro and Dyer formed
the infield. and Paskert, Winters
and Becker the outfield. Seven men
on this team later went to the big
leagues
Despite the excellence of the
team, there was a tough race.
The Memphis team, managed by
Charley Babb. put up an awful
fight and took lead toward the
latter part of the season that
looked too big to be overcome. But
by the grandest sort of work on the
home diamond the Crackers closed
steadily in. Finally came the game
that was to decide it, More than
1000 persons were crowded inside
the park to see the performance.
What happened is history Ana
Atlanta won the pennant.

KID ELBERFELD AND
OTTO JORDAN RACE
FORLOOKOUT CHIEF

CHATTANOOGA, TENN. Aug. 10
VIII Otto Jordan go back to Atlanta
with Bill Smith or will he stay here as
manager of the local club? One or the
other of those things is pretty certain
to happen.
Jordan and Kid Elberfeld are run
ming neck and neck now in the race
for the local management. 1t Is virtu-
ally certain that if Elberfeld wins he
will let Jordan out. He wouldn't care
to have perpetual candidate for his
job on the team. And if Jordan goes
it is equally certain that Bill Smith
will try to take him to Atlanta.
President Andrews will probably de-
eide the matter of a manager for next
year pretty shortly. Now that Bill
Smith has definitely passed up the lob
the matter Is considerably simplifed.

Sid Smith was stuck in and plugged
the gap. In the Outfield, Crozier
Winters and Smith himself starred
After a bit Bill dropped out and
various players were tried-Stin-
son. "Bonehead" Bob Wallace and
others. But somehow a fairly good
outheld was always on the job.
Archer and Sid Smith formed the
regular catching staff-and a bet
ter one was perhaps never seen on
a minor league team. The pitchers
were Tom Hughes. RUDE Zeller,
Dick Harley, Loucks. Doc Childs,
Baxter Sparks and Elmer Duggan.
There was a grand three-Cor-
nered race for the pennant that
year, with Birmingham, Memphis
and New Orleans the contenders.
Finally the Barons pulled away and
a duel developed between Mem
phis and Atlanta for second place.
The Crackers were finally content
ed with third place, but the strug
gle was one that kept the Crack
ers on their feet.
In this season happened an Incl
dent that is characteristic of Bill
Smith While the Cracker team
was playing in New Orleans Otto
Jordan was struck with bunch
that the New Orleans team had
run some rubber balls in on them.
Bill at once accepted this suspicion
as a proven fact and there was all
but riot Before it was over Otto

there was an awful muss. OF course,

JEANETTE To
GIVE JOHNSON
A MERRY TIME
By W. S. Farnsworth.

rACK JOHNSON is going 10
meet Joe Jeanette in ten
y round bout in New York on or
about September %, The champion
will undoubtedly, win on points.
But believe me he is going to have
a tough voyage and he hasn't any
more chance of stopping the New
York negro than | have Of being
the next president Of the good Old
United States.
And. also. it is my opinion that
after the ten rounds are finished,
Johnson will never agree to meet
Jeanette over longer route.
There never was harder nut than
this same Jeanette. and he is game
from the top of his head TO the
bottom OF his No. 12's.
1t has often been said that when
two negroes meet in the ring they
pun to each other Well, there
won't he any pulling in this fight
Jeanette hates Johnson, and will
: fight as he never fought before to
win
johnson is a rough neck" Jean
nette is just the opposite There
never was a more manly fellow
and cleaner liver. Jack spends
his spare moments in dives. dance
halls and cafes. Jeanette. when
not in the ring, remains at home
with his family. Jeanette has no
use for negro Of the Johnson
typo.
II viii be a case Of good Niger
against an undesirable one, and all
New York will he pulling for Jean
netto 70 win. Joe is one Of the most
popular fighters in the East. and
this despite his color. He Ia re
Rpscted by men Of wealth. In fact,
one Of the directors of the Penn
syfvsnia lines is his biggest boost
er. This railroad man invests all OF
Jeannette's earnings for him, The
result Is that today Joe has enough
Of the filthy stuff to retire and live
comfortably the rest Of his days.
Johnson can beat Jeanette on
points in ten round bout, but over
a route our money would 60 on
Jeanette.
