Stovall May Be Used
In Deal With 'Yanks'

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Mar-
ager Hickey is not holding back with
his new men and will push into the
fray at every opportunity, as he is
to discover just who ne has on the
payroll with ability enough to repre-
sent the Browns next season.
When Hickey was asked about the
disposition that was to be made of
ex Manager George StovaIl, d
troubled look came over Rickey's
face, and he said:
Il have not yet decided what to do
with Stovall. He is a cracker jack
ball player. and | would like to keep
him, but George wants to get away,
and | suppose we will have to let
him go. There are several clubs after
him, but his disposition will be set
tied when | arrive home. Frank
Chance will probably be favored with
Georges services. although nothing
definite has as yet been decided upon
between the New York and St Louis
clubs. Mr. Chance wants TO let me
have money for Stovall. but / would
like to have a couple Of his players
in exchange instead of the cash As
soon as | arrive home and have an
other consultation with Mr. Hedges
a deal will probably be fixed up"

VARQON AND RAY
SURE To PLAY
HERE OCT. nth

O TUART MAIDEN, golf profess
y sional for the Atlanta Athletic
Club at East Lake, announced
yesterday that there remained no
doubt that Harry Vardon and Ed
ward Ray, the great British profess
sional golfers, would he seen in At
lanta Saturday, October II, when
they would play two rounds, morn
ing and afternoon, on the links of
the Atlanta Athletic Club.
For opponents the British cracks
will have Maiden, holder of the course
record at East Lake, and Willie Mann,
his able assistant.
The play probably will be in the
form Of a four ball match. though
the players may be paired and match
ed Individually to divide the gallery,
II it threatens to be of unwieldy size.
II is certain that every golfer in At
lanta who can possibly get out to the
East Lake links will be in the gallery
that follows the renowned British
players who fought their way
through a field of 100 Americans, to
be tied at the top. and finally beaten,
by Francis Ouimet, the golhng mar
vel of the day.

THIS being the Open Season fol
shooting dope at the Worlds
Series we take advantage Of
the opportunity to fire off the follow
ing boomerang:
The Athletics are mighty lucky to
be in it.
Which may be elaborated a trifle
for the benefit of those who were
looking for a flat-footed prophecy as
to the ultimate result of the classic
event
THERE are several reasons why
Connie Mack is lucky to cut the
Big Money this year. the principal
reason being his ball club.
If c. Mack had enjoyed the same
ball playing his club supplied him
In 1910 and 1911-or even in 1872
he would have romped under the wire
on the chin strap, or words to that
effect. Boston was out OF the way
this year: left at the post. There
was nothing much to do but go out
and cop.
But first the iron man, Jack
Coombs broke under the strain Of
an old injury. And then the rest of
the pitching staff, saving only the
wonderful Eddie Plank. wobbled
along for weeks, game after game
requiring two, three or four pitchers
to hold the enemy while the smuggling
of Baker and Collins and McInnis
brought home the bacon by a streak
of lean.
A Nd here's where Mr.. McGillicuddy
- was lucky to finish in front.
Washington, Cleveland and Chicago
all showed the most diabolical pen
chant for assisting Friend Mack.
They didn't do 1t meaningly-of
course. But you must have noticed
that just when the White Elephants
were Keeling and lettering. Cleveland.
instead of closing in, would be TAX
ing a licking from Washington or
the Sox. And Washington never
could get near enough to threaten the
waveTing Mackmen because of the
stubborn scrap the Senators always
encountered in a series with Cleve-
land or the White SOx.
YER and over it happened. At

things He had a hogshead of luck
this year.
McGraw had no particular luck
during the season, and it would be a
hardy American League fan that
would suggest that the Giants were
lucky in the Worlds Series against
Boston in 49,, or against the Ath-
letics in 1911.
And one doesn't have to be very
superstitious to pipe it off that a
string OF naturals won't roll on for
ever-unless the bones are loaded.
II ERES another slant to the situa-
ton, too.
McGraw has some shakes Of an
outfield to offer in rebuttal, both in
gardening and batting this fall.
Reports from Chicago where the
work of the Giants never is regarded
with an eye of loving indulgence, in
dictate that Burns, Snodgrass and
Murray are going great guns.
Murray and Snodgrass, the old
hands, are faster than ever. the eX-
perts say. Tine wretched experience
of Snoddy last year seems to have
mended instead OF broken him, ana
he Is showing great accuracy and
judgment in handling fly balls.
The new man, Burns. is rated as
good as as Josh Devore in his prime,
so far as fielding goes, and he is a
bear at the bat, with the true Nc
Graw ability to wait for the good
ones, pick them out, and slam them
hard. He is fast-McGraw won't
have anybody who isn't speedy. I'M
less he is a catcher or a pitcher
and adds to the daring attack on
the Giants, once they achieve the
towpath.
A ND the pitchers--but they deserve
~ a special chapter. or maybe a
special volume.
II might be mentioned as a sort of
post prandal subterfuge that Math-
ewson Marquard and Demaree have
to date yielded $40 hits In LOB in
nings. while Plank. Bender, houck.

Mathewson will just be getting in his

he does get in his prime, look out for

League, for any team will be lucky If
it ever wins a game from him"
Yes, and do you know why that old
boy lasts so long and keeps on win

because he takes baseball as play. He
gets just as much fun out of every
game he pitches as a corner lot hurler

make some player go the limit for a
place in the back field. He is one of
the fastest men on the field and has
shown a world of ability in return
ing punts.
Little Ed" Dorsey, the "runtiest"
player who has ever made the team

is giving the heaviest men on the
squad all kinds of trouble trying 20
