over the Atlanta team Just in time
to finish last with it. He is going
TO finish worse, anyhow, than he
ever did before in his life.
1t has Just turned out that
through hard luck they have Bill
in an unpleasant position. But Bill
will see 1t through, for that's his
way.
w ELL, Kid Elberfeld gets the
Wv managerial job in Chattanooga
And that means that Otto Jordan
isn't especially needed in Lookout
vile. and that he will come to At
lanta, provided, of course. President
o. B. Andrews. of Chattanooga,
doesn't demand some absolutely
outrageous price for him.
If we had had the choosing be-
tween Jordan and Elberfeld, it's
cinch that Jordan would have got
the place. Somehow there doesn't
seem a chance for Elberfeld to
make a success as a manager.
Have you ever noticed that the
rowdies of baseball seldom succeed
as managers? You might point at
once to McGraw. True, he is a
rOWdy. But McGraw is a studious
rowdy. He is a rough neck largely
for publicity and intimidation pur-
poses. When he appears to be boil
ing mad, the chances are he is
laughing in his sleeve over the
whole situation and studying it out
in order to decide just how far it
is safe and desirable to go with
any piece of rowdyism he is pulling
off.
But Kid Elberfeld isn't that kind
of trouble maker. He's perfectly
sincere about it. When he appears
to be mad, he is mad. He loses all
control over himself
And it's true as gospel that no
man who lacked control over him
self ever had control over his men
Stiu, the appointment of E1ber-
field makes for excitement and trou-
BILE and assorted varieties of hot
stuff.
The Chattanooga Atlanta games
next season, with the determined
Bill Smith managing Atlanta and
the peppery Elberfeld leading Chat
tanooga, should be exciting indeed.

Atlanta Chattanooga Series Will Be Packed Full of Stuff
LOOKOUT FANS CALLING FOR BILL SMITHS SCALP

both teams are out of the race for
high honors this season, the
Crackers and Lookouts always
play harder against each other
than against any other team and
the first series when the team re-
turns home Is against Atlanta
This puts Smith in an embar-
RAISING situation to say the least.
In other words, the first home
games after a long losing streak
on the road will be played between
two teams, one of which Smith
manages now, the other of which
he is already signed up to man
age next season
In view of these facts it is sug-
gested that the best thing that
could be done now is for Billy
Smith to hand in his resignation
to be effective at once. This
would, they say, clarity the stu
alton entirely. Smith would then
be a free agent until he takes UP
the reins at Atlanta, and in the
meantime could be on the lookout
for available material for the
Cracker team. AS it stands the
players on the Chattanooga team
have, as they believe, little to
gain by playing hard. They real
ize that they will not be under
Smith next season and as they are
me DiODtI ~ vi AllC lONell ONAl1lS
they all will expect a try out next
season under the new manager,
whoever he may be. They also
realize that it is an uphill fight to
even get and remain in the first
division If they cant get as
high as fourth place, they prob
ably do not care where they fin
ish on the other hand, fans will
say that Smith is more interested
in next years work than in the
showing of the team which he is
now managing.
SO that. all in all. 1t is believed
by many that Smiths resignation
would not only subserve the best
interests of the team and patrons,
but Of himself as well.
T doesn't take much of this sor
of stuff to get the fans stirred
up. II the Chattanooga papers
keep after it a bit they will get the
fans yelling. And If once they star
