This very pointed Interrogation was
put up directly to Johnny Evers, pres

at means a lot of worry" said John,
and the expression on the Trojan S
face as he gave vent to the words
more than told the story.
Being simply a ball player one who
is told what TO do and when to do 1t.
is fine business, particularly II one is
able to DO as he is told the proper
time, but jumping from that position
to one where it becomes necessary to
give the orders ard know just when
and where a thing should be done
and by whom, is a different matter
Evers a Changed Man.
Fvers' face is a veritable score
board Glance at it after game that
the Cubs have won, and you can al
most read the score. There is a smile
playing about his countenance that
tells the tale more plainly than the
tape.
If, however. the Cubs have lost, the
worried expression on Johns face tells
the tale more plainly than figures.
The managership of the Cubs has
made a changed man of Evers. He Is
restless and continually worried he
sleeps but little nights, smokes al
most necessarily, and is simply a
bundle of quivering nerves.
This is true with practically all OF
the new managers in the National
League. with the exception, perhaps
of Joe Tinker.
Here is one boss who is taking
things as they come, living an easy,
simple life, and is always looking on
he bright side.
Makes Pals Of His Men.
Joe makes companions Of his men.
# one Of the Reds makes a rank bob
hle Joe has little to say about 1t on
ne field.
Evers pursues a different method
If the pitcher seems to be going bad
John walks in from his path at second
and tells the delinquent that it is time
for him to either smoke up or get
out. Opinion differs as to the advisa-
bilitv Of this method, but John seems
10 be getting results, while Joe's club
is still down in the nut.
Miller Higgins is another upon
whom the managerial duties have
weighed heavily. When the season

would care TO meet.

Against Williams he should find the

Ing the bouts for the band" Friday
night is the same promoter who has
hunked Atlanta fight fans time and

He is the promoter who staged
the two fake fights that Carl Morris
participated in here. He is the pro-

minute the Young Saylor-Joe Thomas
fight was to start that SaylOr was in

JAKESTAHL MAY
NOT Be ABLE To
PLAY THIS YEAR

y T. LOUIS. MO. July 14.-Jake
Stahl is directing his Red Sox
team from the rathskeller, at
tired in his citizens clothes. He isn't
in uniform because the injured leg
which has kept him out Of the game
all season, hasn't fully mended. It is
said that Stahl may not be able to
play at all this season.
IL has been Stahls failure to play
that has had a deal to do with the
Red Sox slump this season, after hav-
ing won the worlds championship
from the Giants last fall. Stahl was
one of the teams best hit-makers a
year ago, when they finished in front
Of the American League field While
Stahrs absence has had Its i'll effect
on the team
Tim Murnane, the ld-time pitcher
and now a baseball writer in Boston,
says the failure of Joe Wood to pitch
up to his 1912 form was the real cause
Of the Soxs slump.
"NN GOD sprained his thumb IN the
w early part of the season and
couldn't get going right" said Muir
name. In fact. he isn't right just
yet. as the sprain won't permit him
getting the proper grip on the ball.
"Stahl and Wood were OF great
value to the team a year ago. but the
club has figured In hard luck In other
ways this year At different times
Larry Gardner, Wagner and Lewis
has been out of the lineup because of
injuries or other causes.
Buck O'Brien was sold 10 the
White Sox at a good figure. He's
not a poor pitcher by any means, but
was permitted to go because he just
couldn't win for the Boston team. His
record with the Red Sox this season
was something like three victories
and eight losses. He should prove a
good man for Callahan"
THE Red Sox are hopeful that some
thing Will happen to enable them
to again represent the American
League in the worlds series. But
they are making no wagers that they
win again cut in on the spells.
They realize that the present lead
Of the Athletics Of Philadelphia is al
most too great TO overcome at this
stage Of the campaign. II would be
different If the Mackmen were com
posed of young players who might
crack in the excitement Of the strug-
gle, but inasmuCh as Mack is Chaper-
oning a troupe Of veterans who have
twice been through the worlds series

MEYERS TRIED
NEW PLAY ON
EBBETS FIELD
By Sam Crane.

NEW YORK, July 14-Chief Mey-
v ers tried for a play recently in
the Giants Dodgers series over
at Ebbets Field that has splendid pos
sibilities. 1t is not at all likely,
though, that the Chiefs original con-
ception will be followed to such an
extent that the present style Of play
ing baseball will be revolutionized.
But, still, the Chief is entitled to great
credit for his originality.
have seen players back up their
own wild throws, ana once saw Dan
O'Leary chase a ball he threw over a
grandstand and nail the batter at the
plate, but the latter sprung as big a
charley horse in one of his legs as
Dan was laboring under in his head,
but when a catcher runs down into
deep right field and with a chance to
return the ball to the plate in time to
nail the batter at the position the
catcher just vacated then ! am sure
there is nothing new in baseball.
This is exactly what Chief Meyers
did.
Meyers chases Ball.
In the fifth inning of one OF the
games Miller, of the Dodgers. splash
ed a slow roller along the third base
line. Shafer got the ball and whipped
II to Merkle like a shot The runner
and the ball got TO first at about the
same instant, and Merkle, having no
chance to catch the ball, 1t went out
into foul ground and carOmed off the
low concrete wall toward Burns, who
was playing right field. Meyers an
tiCipated the play as if by second
sight, and as the ball whistled by Mer-
kle, the Chief was seen dashing madly
past first. chasing the speeding pellet
for dear life He had nearly reached
it, too, when Burns picked it up and
by a great heave to Fletcher smoth-
cred Miller at third.
Chance for Rare Play.
Now, It would have been the easiest
play in the world for Meyers 10 have
got the ball, and if Miller had kept on
| home TO have pinched him at the
plate by ten feet or more.
If that play had been pulled off II
would surely have been the strangest
ever made on the ball field. and the
Chief would have been the most
| talked Of and written about player in
the country.
1t was as startlingly thrilling an
attempt at backing up as l ever wit
messed, and the Chief rather showed
up some of his speedy fellow players
| who pride themselves on their sprint
| ing and cast good natured slurs at
! the Chiefs running powers.

marriage had not occurred. At that time
Pansy, the Pekinese, did not deny any
thing, because she had not been added to
the family She was an afterthought, so
to speak.
But the Belmonts speedily found that
their denials did them no good. The mar
riage had taken place over in Hoboken,
and Ethel Lorraine had the paper to
prove it.
In the beginning the family of the foolish
young husband refused to consider that
the young wife had any claim on them.
They went on their way exhibiting their
dogs, and their dogs went on bow-wowing
and the bride wept at home, neglected and
fOrlorn.
Now the Belmonts say that while the
bride moped at home she was busy think
ing and planning how she could bring her
husband and his family to terms and to
make them at least acknowledge her physi-
cal existence.
Here is the picture the Belmonts draw
of the young wife. Here is what they say
she was thinking.
"Brrrh, Brrrh, but l will be revenged on
Raymond's family | will bring them to
terms. But how, oh, how shall do it?
Shall l go to Newport? No, / have not
money enough, and then l simply could
not stand being lorgnetted at by those Ca
sino danes. But revenged l will be-"
At this moment Mrs. Raymond stopped
her tears long enough to read about the
Toy Dog Show at the Waldorf, where the
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-07-06

Belmonts were exhibiting their pets and
winning prizes and where August Bel
mont was the overload, so to speak.
And then a dog outside her window be-
gan to bark, and all at once the Inspiration
struck the eX-shOwgirl.
"Bow-wow, she cried, bow-wow-wow, |
have found my revenge | will buy a dog
and exhibit her and win all the blue rib
bons for myself"
And straightway it was done. Mrs Ray
mond Belmont's name appeared in the list
of entrants at the very next show held at
Mineola as the owner and exhibitor of
Pansy, a Pekinese toy, worth $500, and
warranted to take at least two blue ribbons
at every show.
The first days session of the Dog Show
at Mineola was a busy period; there were
hundreds of dogs to be exhibited. Mrs.
Raymond arrived early, so as to be on hand
when her neglectful-in-aws should arrive.
"Bow-wow" yapped Pansy, what are you
doing here in this horrid place with all
these dogs?"

From New York Pansy was taken to
Boston. and there won another blue
ribbon. but the effect on the Belmont
family was electrical And society itself
took up the cudgels for the much-tried
family.
Let US freeze Pansy out" said society,
"let US make her realize that she belongs
in another class"
But the judges said mo, no, Pansy is a
winner and cannot be ignored, even if she
does send the Belmonts from the field"
Society, however, took its revenge on
Pansy's owner by not noticing her or her
dog at all. 1t was as though neither dog
nor mistress existed.
81 am being revenged, however" was
Mrs. Raymond's daily thought, and it was
a great comfort to her, indeed Revenge
IS ever sweet.
But not until recently did Mrs. Ray
mond realize the real depth and exquisite
ness of her revenge. Not until she learned
that her marriage has interfered with the
pet dream of her father-in-law's heart, that
Raymond should marry the younger
daughter of Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt,
Miss Barbara Rutherfurd, also lover of
Pekinese dogs.
Oh the double-barreled revenge! Just
at the time that Mrs Raymond was plan
ming her bow-wow revenge Miss Rutherfurd
announced that she would enter her beau
tiful Tossie, pure-bloOded Pekinese,
worth several thousand dollars, in the
Mineola show, but she had to withdraw
Tossie when she heard that Pansy was to
be shown II was bad enough to lose the
men she had planned to marry, but It was
worse TO lose the chance TO show her lovely
Tossie, she said.
"Ah, but revenge is sweet" sang Mrs.
