II ILL SMITH, manager Of the
II champion Crackers, is at home

" ILL SMITH, manager Of the
n champion Crackers, is at home
again after a rather strenuous
session in Cincinnati, where there was
much awarding Of drafts and such.
There was only one Southern
League manager not present at the
meeting" Bill said this morning
Everybody was showing a lot of in
terest in the proceedings. Looked
as If there were something up every
bodys sleeve, though nothing fell out
while the meeting was on
Sheckard to Lookouts?
Bill said President Andrews, Of the
Chattanooga club, was after Jimmy
Sheckard to manage the Lookouts the
coming year, but there was no Ger
tainty about the deal
Another move was the attempt Of
the Montgomery management to get
Stovall to head the Billikens.

however" said Bill. He says, Say,
I'm not ready for exile yet, no matter
what happens So l guess it won't be
Stovall"
About J. Dobbs.
Then there is the case of Johnny
Dobbs, and about him and the St.
Louis rumor Bill Smith had quite a
little talk with President Hedges Of
the Browns.
Il asked Mr.. Hedges right out II
Johnny was going to manage the
Browns next year and this is exactly
what he said: Not next year Now,
you can figure that out to suit your
self. but It sort Of sounded to me as
If he might have added, Not yet-but
soon!"
And Bill went on to say that the
most probable berth for Johnny in
1914 was in New Orleans.
What About the "kid?"
Which will leave Kid Elberfeld
sort Of out in the cold" said Bill,
with reference to what is to-day the
managerial mystery Of the Southern
League-that is, where does Elberfeld
stand with reference to the Pelicans.
Take It all around, Bill seemed
much pleased with his visit in Gin
cltnati, but for what special reason,
If lany, Bill really wasn't saying. Bill
is not worrying about the job ques-
ton, of course. And It is pretty fair
bunch that the foxy boss Of the
Crackers didn't spend the better part
of a week in that dear Cincinnati
without putting over something to
ward the pennant chase OF 1914.

THE season OF 1913 in American
football promises TO be one Of
radical types Of play on the part of
all teams We are not far enough
away from the old line plunge game
to relegate that brand of play to the
background, but more and more the
spectacular open play will be used.
There win be as many Innovations
as there are coaches. I'm the attempt
to reap the full benefit of tn new
type Of play which brought 50 many
surprises in 1912.
Last year was the banner year for

Strong's play was remarkable for
its steadiness, rather than any par

AERO CLUB OFFICIALS
WILL DECIDE WINNERS

KANSAS CITY. July 6.-Five or six
days will elapse before the Aero Club OF
America announces in New York the Of
ficial winner OF the national balloon race
that started here Friday and ended In
eastern Michigan. The delay is due TO
the fact that the Aero Club OF America
must carefully examine the Paragraphs
of the various balloons, which all the pi-
lots have sealed and forwarded to New
York. Then too, the exact distances
covered by each balloon must be com
puted on the aeronautical maps of the
aero club.
The fact that the nearest to official
measurements made on an unofficial
aeronautical map last night. shows but
nine and one-half miles separating the
GOODYEAR balloon of Akron, O.. which is
accorded first place. and the Kansas
CITY II. which is credited with having
finished third. makes interest keen In the
official measurement AS the measure
ments stand tonight. the Goodyear is
credited With having flown 6473 miles.
the Kansas City Post 6+2. and the Kansas
City II, 63S.
The Aero Club Of America also vii!
have to decide upon the protests OF Rob-
ert E. Nolker president of the ST Louis
Aero club. and r, e. Greene OF the Aero
Club Of Illinois. who allege that the two
Kansas City balloons We're permitted to
take gas after the Million Popula ton
Club balloon OF ST. Louis left the ground.
in violation of a rule adopted by local
aero officials and concurred in by all pi-
lots in the race.
