NO WEEPING AND CRASHING OF TEETH MARKED SMITHS
 RETURN TO ATLANTA CLUB

edly Jordan also to Atlanta Is certain to intensity the bitter athletic rivalry between the Lookout and Cracker towns. however, and the clashes be- tween the two squade in 1913 should be affairs of no little piquancy.
 While Smith is greatly liked by his personal friends in Chattanooga 1t must be admitted that he Is not over pop ular with the general run of the fans and his departure next season with all due respect to his efforts here will not cause general fandom any great regret. It was always felt here that Smiths heart was really In Atlanta and the fact that he spent so many of his spare moments in Crackerville in the minds of the general public largely substan- tiated that belief.
 Smith failed to give Chattanooga a pennant contender in two trials, but under the conditions which have ex- isted here he has accomplished praoti- cally all that is possible. Until local fandom Is in better harmony with the club owners there Is little possibility of a gonfalon in Chattanooga

Although Martin Berghammer was universally proclaimed as a lemon thrust upon the Barons by the Chi cago White Sox his trial with Bir- mingham failed to cost Rick Wood ward a cent. A few days ago the Baron owner received a check from tho Chicago White Sox, saying that the Lincoln club had decided to buy Berg hammer after a thorough trial for 5000 and this In turn was enclosed.
 In the spring Berghammer was bought from the Chicago Americans for 5000. He failed dismally with the stick and Molesworth was forced to get rid of him. His slugging average in the Southern was about .1S0. An effort was made to farm him out, but no one seemed anxious to take him on

 Finally in desperation the Barons were forced to send him to Chicago to be placed and 1t was understood that Birmingham was to get the price for which he was sold. Expecting to get S200 or some small sum for the short stop, 1t seemed as If Rick was out about $500
 The White Hose farmed him out to the Lincoln club in the Western league on an option and. he immediately cinched his job His batting average Is over 300 and his fielding is also In Company A. It Is probable that he will be recalled. Anyway, Rick Wood ward is rejoicing over his check for 5000.

Water pressure In the city was in~
creased about five pounds yesterday
when the new t~wenty-four inch main
recently laid under the Raritan
river was cut In and placed In SER
vice. Two twenty-four inch mains
are now in use from the southerly
side of Raritan river TO Market

gether with the cleaning OF the
large mains about Market and Sher-
idan streets yesterday caused a sub
stantial boost in pressure through
out the city.
A still heavier pressure fs ex-
pected in a short time when an ex-
tension is made to the new twenty
four inch main, to run 1t from south
side Of the river across the meadows
to high ground. Pipe for this work
has been received and 1t will be
started shortly.
Workmen In the employ of the
water department worked yesterday
In cutting In the new main and blow
ing out existing lines about Market
