VIRGINIA SCHEDULE is
DUE ANOTHER SHAKE-UP

PETERSBURG, VA, June 19.-Pres-
ident Boatwright of the Virginia league
will rearrange the schedule of the six
club circuit so as to give the local club
more equitable schedule than that
adopted at Norfolk last Thursday.
The local directors have received no
answer to their telegram asking for
meeting here Wednesday to rearrange
the schedule, but, over the long dis
lance telephone President Boatwright
said that he thought the matter could
be arranged to the satisfaction of the
Petersburg club without another meet
ing.
The Norfolk revised schedule gives
Petersburg but three more Saturdays
at home and sends the club on four
trips to Roanoke, where loss is inevi-
table. Every Stub that has come to
this city, with on exception when the
weather was bad, has taken away more
than the 1925 guarantee. On the other
hand the local club has received more
than the guarantee at no city except
Richmond

FRANK WILL USE ATZ
AS PLAYING MANAGER

NEW ORLEANS, June 19-Jakey
Atz, playing manager of the Peicans.
This, in all probability will be the title
that Charley Frank proposes to bestow
upon the former infieider when he joins
the Birdville squad The acquisition
of Atz will not be the only change in
the Pelican ranks. Hank" Butcher,
for whose services the Dutchman has
been angling all season, is also expect
ed to report any day and ask for his
uniform. Johnny Clancy, at present
burning up the Cotton States league, is
also intended for the Pels, and posi-
bly, one or two others whose identity
Manager Frank refuses to reveal.
The addition of three new players
means that Dave Bunting, present third
sacker. will figure in a transfer Man
ager Frank doesn't admit he is ready
to make another shift. Indications,
however. are that Atz will be leader
of the team. as was Gene Demont.
when Frank found it necessary to keep
within the salary limit two years ago.

4 ne GeorglanS tight expert, who ha
oeen selected to referee the Johnson
Flynn hattIe.)
HAST LAS VEGAS, n NJ. June
r. 19.-Jim Flynn leads in the
first round Referee DR..
2 Shaw, official medical examiner,
says Flynn has slight shade in
the opening examination.
Shaw gives out the disquieting
Johnson that there is ground for
fear he may show a lack Of en-
durance in the big battle of July 4
because of the chest expansion he
showed during the examination.
Jack was able to drag only
enough air into his lungs under
the eye of the doctor to show an
expansion of two and one-quarter
inches.
Flynn showed two and one-half
with ease
From Johnson's Debated chest
to the full expansion there was
but three and one-half inches.
From Flynn's debated chest to
his full expansion there was diff
ference Of four and one half inches.
Otherwise they are about as
grand a pair Of specimens of physi-
j cal perfection as it would be pos
sible to find anywhere
Shaw Not an AIarnist.
DR.. Shaw gave out a complete
statement but in the case of John
son he tempered it bit about the
chest expansion The doctor stated
that it was farthest from his
thoughts to pose in the light of an
alarmist, therefore he did not care
to go too strong In the case of
Johnson's lungs. He contented
himself merely with the statement
that went like this: "Johnson's
chest expansion Is not up to stand
ard and would lead one to fear that
there might be lack of endurance
there in this altitude"
Pretty strong that, even in those
few -hooded dispassionate
words.
DR.. Shaw is the leading physi-
clan and surgeon of this section Of
the country. He acted at the re-
quest of the local club in examin-
ing the men, He selected time
when each of them had finished
the days labor
Here's the doctors statement in
brief form and shorn of all it's
technical verbage:
II regard Jim Flynn as one of
the most magnificent specimens of
physical development that I ever
examined, and 1 have had some
wonderfully strong men and natur-
al athletes come before me for
observation
"Flynn's eyesight is entirely nor
malone very excellent point
His heart and lungs are normal

S|TTON DUE To
PITCH TODAY IN
CHATTANOOGA

~HATTANOOGA TENN. June 10.
The Crackers, speeded up to a
point about ten notches above
anything they have attempted yet, are
here today for what will be one of the
toughest series they have ever known.
Both teams are fighting like cornered
rats these days. They are both making
wonderful effort to get out of the
depths. They are determined, desper-
ate. And they hate each other so bad
it keeps 'em awake nights Either
manager would give month off his
life to make cleanup on this series,
1t is more than likely that Manager
Hemphill will decide to work Vedder
Sitton right back again. He had him in
the second game yesterday. but rain
interfered before the contest had gone
far and he seems fit as fiddle today.
Billy Smith is lust about as com
municative as usual about his prob
able battery performers, but 1t Is
More's turn to pitch, and no doubt he
Will be sent in.
"Errortis," or Rush of Thumbs 10
the Hands, was the complaint that
dumped the Crackers in the ditch in
Nashville yesterday afternoon. You
might not get it from the box score,
but that's what happened. For Tommy
Atkins would never have given up all
those hits if things hadn't been break
ing bad right behind him.
For Tommy is one of those tempera-
mental youths. He will take his chance
with the opposition as long as the sup
port is going good. But when once
team sets out to dub away a game be-.
hind Tommy it usually succeeds. For
Tommy doesn't flourish under adver-
sity-though goodness knows he has
had enough Of it to begin getting hard
ened
With the score 10 to against the
Crackers they made a peach of a rally
in the ninth and managed to pile up
three more runs before they were
closed out.

Certainly he is a man who
ought to be able to withstand al

"A most careful examination of
Jack Johnsons heart, lungs and
abdominal organs shows me that
he is in a perfectly healthy condi-
tion-a thoroughly sound man.
But his chest expansion, as will
be by a careful ANALYSIS of the
measurement l have submitted will
be found to be somewhat below a
certain standard and would lead
one to fear lack Of endurance"
Further than this DR. Shaw pos
itively declined to go. He was
asked as to whether or not he fig

gas would seriously affect Jack in
the coming fight. but into this he
declined to go at this time.

by Manager Hemphill, will not sign a

not reported yet and may not get in for
some time. as a small difference over

ford Gives Lecture.

The movement for the establishment Of
more parks in the northwestern section
Of the city was given the strong indorse-
ment last night of the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association at a meeting in
ST. Stephens Parish Hall.
Mrs. Anna Belle Foote, representing
the Federation of Women's Clubs, ad-
dressed the association on the subject
of the establishment of parks and sug-
gested the adoption of the resolution
recently passed by the Federation. which
urges upon the need OF small triangular
parks at the intersection OF streets and
avenues in the northwest.
A resolution, which was introduced by
W. B. Todd. was adopted. opposing the
bills now pending before Congress pro-
viding for the widening and improve
ment of Spring road. 1t was pointed
out that the bills provide for several
changes in the course OF the highway
which are less desirable than the pres
ent street plan. and which would cost
much to carry out.
DR.. J. X. p. Gieeson reported that the
bill providing for the establishment Of
a home for inebriates and those addisted
to the drug habit is now being cOnsid-
cred by Congress. He announced that
the probable location of the home would
be on the site of the District Tubercu-
losis Hospital.

The text OF this letter has a peculiar
significance. Written In the humorous
vein, which was one of the famous char
acteristics OF the noted Tennessean, II
refers to the attempts OF political op-
ponents to get his scalp and states that
he expected to be in Nashville up to

letter in full reads as follows:

address. telling OF his association with

panied the Taylor brothers on their IA
nous campaign when they were contest
ing for the gOvernorship OF Tennessee.
THE world has never seen another

Richardson. He stands alone. One of
the chief complaints filed against him
was that he failed TO keep promises he
made. That is easily answered. He was
of such a kindly disposition that 1t was
impossible for him to refuse a request.
He tried his utmost TO please everybody.
and when he failed. 1t was resented with
slander."
Greed NJ. Fulton, vice president OF the
society. also recounted his experiences
as an intimate friend OF the dead states

ciety spoke in glowing terms Of the life
OF Mr.. Taylor. and II was decided to send
