SNITH,POP-BOY
PITCHER, SOLD
To LOCAL CLUB

TLARENCE SMITH, known to
fans as Pop Boy" Smith, has
been bought from the White
Sox by the Cracker club. The papers
have not changed hands, but terms
have been accepted and Smith will
join the Cracker club toward the end
Of this week.
Last year with Birmingham, Smith
won eighteen and lost eight games.
Only six pitchers in the league who
took part in 20 games or more topped
him. At the end of the season he was
sold to the White SoX for a good sum.
He has been carried with the team
since then. He did not look quite
good enough to make the team, but
he showed such promise that Manager
Callahan was reluctant to let him go.
Smith Is practically a kid. His his
tory is well known. He was born in
Birmingham, and, being crazy about
baseball, he broke into it by the
pop" route. For several years he
sold pop" at the Birmingham park
and worked around the field when
they would let him. Finally he went
to Wordsworth and said he wanted to
be a pitcher Just TO humor him
Wordsworth worked him out for a
few minutes. To Cartons surprise
the boy had a lot of stun. So "Moley'
sent him to the Southeastern. With
the Admission team, under the direC-
ton of Red" Fisher he proved him
self a star and his work was so prom
Using that Wordsworth signed him for
the Baron club. He made good in the
Southern last year and did much Ia
give the Barons their pennant.
Smith is a lorg. stringy kid. He

tined to be a big league wonder in

LEAGUE RACES
PROVED CLOSE
Atlanta Took Southern Pen

Game
MILWAUKEE, HOT PRESSED
BEFORE WINNING PENNANT

Baseball leagues throughout the
country have completed their seasons,
and in many cases the fights for the
pennants have been exceedingly bitter
and decided by the closest OF margins.
In only two instances have clubs
maintained teams strong enough TO cap
ture the honors for the third consecutive
season. These were the New York
Giants, in the National League, and the
Denver club, in the Western League,
In half dozen of the other organi.
zations which won the titles in 1911, but
ltrailcd last season, were reinforced sui.
hciently to recopture the flag. Other
clubs, after many years Of unsuccess ful
attempts. finally ran of with the bunt-
ing for the first time
The most interesting race for the
coveted honors took place in the South
ern League, when the Atlanta club car
ried of the pennant Of the orga anization
/ by margin of half a game Atlanta
and Mobile, after a spirited fight. were
tied for the principal honors, ench hav-
ing record of 81 games won and Sc
games lost, with Mobile having one
game left 70 play with New Orleans
Atlanta had completed is schedule and
eagerly awaited the outcome of the
battle Mobile was defeated. after a
hard hgnt. by q score Of TO Q and the
championship Of the league vent 20 the
Atlantic club
Newark and Rochester. in the Inter
national league, kept their adherents in
frenzy of excitement during the final
two weeks Of play by the possibility Of
Rochester's overtaking the leading In
dians. The Jersey team had TO reln-
quish its claim on three Of its star
players to the Brooklyn Superbas at
critical stage, and the team was so
weakened that il lost many games.
Rochester was playing wonderful ball
and with an almost straight string Of
victories was rapidly decreasing the
lead of the Indians. The upstate team,
however, finally succumbed 10 the strain,
while Newark rallied gamelv and took
the championship by a four game ~
vantage. II was Newark's first title
since joining the league, 10 years ago.
Another close fight marked the race
for the flag in the American Association.
IL was captured by Milwaukee by two
and n half games. Minneapolis pressed
the new champions closely during the
last two weeks, but Milwaukee failed
to show the long awaited slump and
won out.
The Federal League, an outlaw or
ganizstion, operating in the West, and
] the New York and New Jersey League
were launched during the year. The
winners were indianapolis and Long
Branch. The Federal was the only in
dependent league in the country that
succeeded in completing its full sched-
ule.
