Brady and Bair were the hurlers

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

will see it through, for that's his
way
w ELL. Kid Elberfeld gets the
" 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 a
cinch that Jordan would have got
the place. Somehow there doesn't
seem 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.
Still the appointment of Elber-
field makes for excitement-and trou-
bic and assorted varieties Of hot
stuff.

Chattanooga Series Will Full of Red Hot 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 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 ii is sug-
gcsted 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 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
the property of the local owners
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.
I r 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 win get the
fans yelling. And If once they start
hooting Bill Smith on the Chatta-
nooga field anything is likely tC
happen. for Bill doesn't enjoy be-
Ing hOoted.
c TILL. Bill Smih is pursuing the
- right course. He is not tC
blame for the fact that the situa
ton is delicate. He was entirely
within his rights in closing tenta-
lively for the Atlanta Management

Mandot probably has more

resenting a total OF $4,000 hand
some, lovely iron men, all subject
to draft whenever Joey gets ready
to go out and paint the town red
which he says he never has done
and never will do. Unlike most
hhters who make big money, Man
dot is not inclined to invest his
earnings, preferring to put It away
in a bank vault for emergency call
and where 1t will increase at the
rate Of about four per cent year.
Mandot has had Al fights and
has averaged more than 81 900 for
each, as proved by his possession
of $4,000, the remnants Of his to-
tai earnings. Probably his average
earnings will exceed $1,000 But
the most money he ever received for
a single scrap was $4,000. When he
keeps his engagement with Joe
Rivers, although he may be a bit
more SCARED up physically than
now, he will be a lot fatter in a
financial way. He will get the big
gest sum for that scrap that he
ever pulled down for one session
with his padded mitts.
The youngster has not decided yet
what he wants to do when he gets
ready to toss aside the gloves and
forget about old man Queensberrv.
If he had made up his mind in this
regard he probably would not have
such big bank roll lying idle.
Some day, he says, when he quits
the ring, he wants to have suffi-
cient capital to establish himself in
business and then he will have the
ready cash at his command to do
business with. He hasno bad hab-
its, does not dissipate, and says he
will get married some day and set
tie down.
Memphis Sports Coming.
Joe is a popular boy in New Or
leans, his home town, and in Mem
phis. where he has done most of
his fighting. AS indicating his pop
ularity, the fact that so of his Mem
phis friends are coming to Los
Angeles in a special car to see the
Labor day scrap might serve as
proof Manager Harry Coleman
says that they have secured a $50
round trip fare and already have
sold So of the required so tickets.
When this Memphis crowd gets
in town the betting on the fight is
going to liven considerably. as ev-
cry man Jack of them will have a
bet down on his lightweight idol.
Not less than $4,000 will be wager
ed on Mandot by them, and when
such a huge sum is dumped onto
the market to back any scrapper
the odds are bound to wabble a
bit New Orleans, too, is going to
send a few dollars this way to be

Thinks Him Best Ever.
Manager Harry Coleman can not
be convinced that Joe Rivers can

from The Chattanooga News:
Something must be done to

to make them put up the good ar
ucle of ball of which they are ca
