COMISKEY MUST
SEND SMITH DR.
PRODUCE ALIBI

IF Charles Con1iskey does not i'm
mediately kick in with good
alibi or promise of a pitcher
the Atlanta Baseball Association will
take up the matter of enforcing
Comiskey's agreement to send Clar-
ence Smith to the Atlanta club
In this deal Comiskey offered Smith
TO Atlanta at a certain price. Presi-
dent Galloway accepted terms. Then
Comiskey backed out stating he had
decided to keep the man.
Baseball law provides that when
terms are accepted the deal must go
through.
There is not the least doubt but
that the local club can force the
White Sox to produce the player.
President Galloway was not in
clined to push the point provided
Comiskey would agree to look out
for the local club with some other
player; but he shows no such inclina-
ton, so II is likely that the National
Commission will be requested to de-
eide who owns the player anyhow.

BASEBALL BOOMING IN
EMPIRE STATE LEAGUE

The Empire State League, composed
of baseball teams in South Georgia
cities, has closed the first half of its
first season.
And II you don't believe the Empire
has been a success, take a trip around
that circuit and find out. Brunswick,
Waycross. Cordele, Americas, Thomas
VILE and Valdosta are baseball crazy.
The gate receipts more than pay the
bills and the sport is as classy as most
any Glass u circuit puts up.

WELCHONCE To
Be THANKED IF
CRACKERS COP
By Percy II. Whiting.

= =
IF the Crackers win a pennant-and
II looks hopeful now-they can
thank their lucky stars-and
Harry welchonce, the known
Bessemer and Lake Erie train dis
patcher.
When Harry came to the local club
they touted him as a batter-and a
trouble-maker.
Well, he's a batter all right II
he's an anarchist II hasn't cropped
out yet.
In Nashville they charged him with
playing for his own averages and
letting the team go hang.
That he isn't pulling that here is
testified by the noted authority. Cap
tain c. A. Alperman. Says Whitley
"welchonce is a wonder at doing
what he's told No matter what the
play is he will go out and make it
OF try like thunder.
Now, we have men on the team,
continued Alperman. who can't make
a hit and-run play at ALL It wouldn't
be policy to tell which ones. Then
we have others who will go through
with II all right II you give them

like Welchonce. who need only tip
NOV take yesterday. In the fifth,
~ with one on, and two runs need
ed to tie the score, Smith gave Wei
chonce the signal for a home run
and he hit II.
Also. in the eighth with two on.
two gone and the score tied, Vel
chonCe came up.
"A three bagger's what we need"
Bill Smith told him.
So Welchonce went out and hit it,
winning the game So thereby.
DILL SMITH seems to have pulled
- one Of his old-tlme trades in get
ting Carl Thompson. He looked
suspiciously like a pitcher yesterday
His start was bad. Then he steadied
and after the first inning gave up but
one hit
His Cracker batting support must
have been a pleasant surprise, for all
this season he has been the victim Of
weak stick support
There's a fine chance that Joe Dunn
will be the making of Thompson.
Joe is just the man to handle his
curves He knows everything about
the league and a considerable amount
about pitching He is steady and
dependable He is tickled to death
To work with a young pitcher and to
show him things.
over in Birmingham nobody would
show Thompson anything They
dinnT lilo him md thRtf hiHVff mind
saying so. over here the team Is
in such dire need Of pitchers that
Thompson will be given every en-
couragement In the world
1T was like old times to see Glen
Liebhardt in the box for Memphis
once again. He hurled some great
games in Atlanta, back In the days
when Charley Babb managed the
team and had il up In the race. The
man once famous for his ability to
hurl double headers hasn't the same
effectiveness as OF ola but he has
learned a lot of baseball and is dan
gerous.
1T was lucky Thompson turned up in
time TO work Tuesday. For Smith
was surely shy on hurlers Conzel-
man was in such bad shape Monday
that he had TO retire. Brady is sick
Dent was affected by the heat Mon
day and is still weak, Old Gil Price,
the willing worker, can't go in every
day. So Thompson was a life-s saver.
Smith will be lucky to have a man
who can 60 through to-day His staff
is surely shot into holes If he can
pull them together this time, can get
the new man from the Boston Braves

HeiSman Writes About Athletics
Must Watch For 1915 Olympiad

and development. Nothing could
more clearly Indicate how seriously
the French are taking these world
championships
NOR will II be forgotten that
~ Sweden is already in heavy
training with a big team under the
able direction OF Ernie Hjertberg. nor
that Greece Is again to hold the little
or biennial Olympic meet again next
year at Athens, which will serve to
keep her athletes on their metal until
1916 rolls around, nor that England
has already prepared to send a spe-
cial deputation TO America to study
the way Americans go at this bust
ness of training and bringing out
their track athletes.
COME Of us have feared that the
- leaders in American track and
field sports were liable to go TO sleep
during these four years between 1912
and 1916 But happily, the indica-
tiOnS are that everybody on this side
of the water Is more on the qui vive
than ever and the great number of
athletes now taking part in these
sports the country over is sufficient
evidence that we are just as much
in earnest about that piece of bunt-
ing for 1916 as is any nation on the
other side OF the ditch.
The first indication we had this
spring Of what kind of an interest
was going to be taken in the United
States this year in track sports was
given at the University of Pennsyi-
vania annual relay races in April
last, when over 1900 Collegians and
prep athletes participated. represent
ing over so colleges and schools.
The next proof we had was when
the national intercollegiates took
place in May At this meet not only
were there more athletes entered
from more different colleges than
ever before, but greater number of
colleges than ever before divided the
total number OF points that could be
scored. Fancy Penn winning the
meet with hardly more than a score
" points whereas fifteen years ago
the winning team usually swept the
board Of at least 60 points This
| speaks well for the keen competition
now being put up by large number
! OF college teams.
Exactly the same thing happened
at the Western Conference meet and
also at the Southern intercollegiate
meet held in New Orleans. Not only
were there more teams entered at
| the New Orleans meet but some eight
! of them divided the points. whereas,
| in former years. they have usually
! all been gobhled up by about three
or four teams at most.
And last Saturday the \. A. L. Ma
tional senior championship meet was
! held in Chicago. also with a record
number of entries. The total of 1862
points scored was divided betw cen
twelve different athletic clubs or or
CARNATIONS and three 4. 4. L..

TINS outline Of what America il

THIS outline Of what America is
doing is sufficient to put at rest
any anxiety lest we may be taking
things too lightly in the matter of
keeping ourselves in shape to cone
with the increased and improved
ability Of the representatives of other
countries. And the best of it is that
some of the very finest work done
on the cinder paths this year was
that Of mere school boys and boys
Of younger generation. Each time
an old timer quits the game in most
any line Of sport we incline to believe
that We shall never look upon his like
again.
Happily this is already being dis
proven in the case of track sports
IN this country. and, even if not a
single man Of those who successfully
competed for the Stars and Stripes
last year in Stockholm were able to
go TO Berlin three years hence. IL
begins to look as though we win have
a whole new crop OF youngsters who
viii be well able 10 look after the
task OF properly maintaining Ameri.
can prestige in competition with the
stars of all the rest of the world.

In 1S4l George Williams moved
