Billy is delighted that he secured
by draft Shortstop Dobard from the
Dayton club of the Central league
Dobard hit 287 last season. He is
a New Orleans boy. Smith also
has received assurance from Grif-
fifth that he will turn over Out
fielder Long, who was with Mobile
last season.
Hermann Contributes Mcdonald.
Garry Hermann sent Smith a
telegram this morning, stating that
he believes he can slip Inieder
Mcdonald to Atlanta Mcdonald

for the Crackers.
Smith will go along with the
Senators to New York this after
noon, where the Griff men open
their final series of the season with
the Highlanders. Billy viii stick
through for the worlds series and
will then go to his home in Spring
field, where he intends to spend
about three weeks before returning
to Atlanta.
No Chance For Sid Smith.
Sid Smith has told Billy that he
would like to return to the Crack
ers next year. Billy is going to
stop off in Columbus, and see if he
can land the hard hitting Sidney
1t Is doubtful if anything can be
done along this line however as
Sid was considered the best back
stop in the American association
this season. He caught practically
every game for Billy Friels club,
and it will be almost impossible to
get him out of that circuit

RED SOX Do NOT
LOOK 50 GOOD.
SAYS SMITH
BY Billy Smith.

w TASHINGTON, d. c.. oct. .
w After having watched the
Boston Red Sox in their
three games with the Senators here,
| am not as confident as ! was a
week ago that they will clean up
the Giants in the world series. Jake
Stahls team sure did win handily
yesterday, and they really looked
good But in the other two games
they played far from pennant ball.
1t is my opinion that the back
bone the strength and the heart of
the Boston team consists of Speak
er. Wood, Wagner, Gardner and
Yerkes. These fellows are as stout
hearted as a Sysonby, bat whether
the others will stand the gaff is the
question.
| am including Gardner in this
list on Clark Grifith's word. Larry
is laying off with a split finger.
He'll be o. X. for the big battle with
the Giants.
Griff says Gardner has got more
nerve in tight quarters than any
player he ever knew.
Collins, who is said to be Stahls
second best pitcher. looked aWfully
bad in the game he worked here
He may have had an off day. but
he will surely have to show more
class than he did against the SEN
atoIs to stop such sluggers as
Doyle and Meyers.
1t is my opinion that the Wash
ington club, as it is playing now,
is every bit as good, if not better,
than the Red Sox.

some sensational work by them.
But, believe me. outside of Speaker,
there isn't anything to that com

belts life.
Mrs Corbett, summoned from
New York by a message that her
husband was dying, spent the night
at the hospital most Of the time
in her husbands room.
She broke down and wept sever
al times as her husband raved in
delirium of the battle at Carson
city, in which he lost the heavy
weight title to Bob FitzsimmOns.
Physicians believed that the solar
pleXus blow which cost him the III
tie at that time Weakened him so
that he became a prey for appen-
dicitis.
Corbett was billed to appear this
week at the Peoples theater but to-
day his company was ordered dis

sidered as indicating that the man
