y HlCAGO, July l4,-"W hat does
it mean to bah player to as

managership of ball club"
This very pointed interrogation was
put up directly to Johnny Evers, pres
ent leader of the Cubs.
1T 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 ball player one who
is told what to do and when to do it,
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 and 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

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.
it. 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 quivertng nerves.
This is true with practically all OF
the new managers in the National

Here is one boss who is taking
things as they come, living an easy,
simple life, and is always looking on
the bright side.

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-
bility Of this method, but John seems
to be getting results while Joe's club
is still down in the rut.
Miller Higgins is another upon
whom the managerial duties have
weighed heavily. When the season
opened Huggins was one of the most
pIeasant. affable little fellows one
would care to meet.
The Cards started off like bunch
of -olds, and Miller could see
nothing but the silver lining, but as
the season waXed stronger the Cards
slumped and the cloud lost its glitter
ing lining. Higgins rapidly lost that
pleasant disposition and is now fight
ing every inch of the way.

Against Williams he should find the
task an easier one to execute his

MEYERS TRIED
NEW PLAY ON
EBBETS FIELD
By Sam Crane.

NEW YORK. July 14-Chief Mey-
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 viii 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.
III the llIlU inning OF one OF llt
games Miller, of the Dodgers, splash
ed slow roller along the third base
line. Shafer got the ball and whipped
it 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. it 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 1t 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 to 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 It
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.

arrive in Atlanta this morning.
He hasn't arrived.

Twill be three ten-round fights Fri
day night. Abel is to meet White
in the final bout. In the others
Young may hook up with Charley
Lee while Eddie HanlOn may meet

According to the promoter the show
will be staged under the auspices of
the Fifth Regiment Band. Said band
needs new uniforms.
We hope they get them.
However, the promoter who is stag
ing the bouts for the band" Friday
night is the same promoter who has
bunked Atlanta fight fans time and
again.
He is the promoter who staged
the two fake fights that Carl Morris
participated in here. He is the pro-
moter who swore right up to the
minute the Young Saylor-Joe Thomas
fight was to start that Saylor was in
town, and then substituted a rank
third rater Yankee Schwartz.
He is the promoter who allowed the
Abe Attell Benny Kaufman fight to
go eight rounds. His referee, at the
suggestion of the police, had the good
judgment to stop this fake at the end
of the eighth.
But this same promoter did not
- ha h1f
he didn't pay Attell the $3.50 guaran-
tee.
This same promoter declared to the
newspapers in Atlanta that Attell had
faxed, in his opinion.
Yet he wired to Bat Masterson. of
The Morning Telegraph, in New York.
as follows
Attell- Kaufman bout here to-
night was stopped by police be-
cause Kaufman refused to fight
Attell back. 1t was a one-man
fight, Attell trying to fight and
Kaufman covering up. 1t was
plainly no fault of Attelrs.
II HIS promoter has guaranteed Nate
Lewis, manager of White, two
round-trip tickets and S400. White
tyill not enter the ring until he gets
= the $500.
He has promised Kid Young $50,
and Young will not get into the ring
until he has received the $50
He has promised Terry Nelson $50,
and Nelson will not get into the ring
until he has received the $50
Also, unless Abe Attell is paid the
$3.50 this promoter owes him, the eX-
champion will, undoubtedly, attach
the gate receipts for the money owed
him for his fake fight, which said
Y promoter under his signature, de-
clared was no fake.
And unless all this money is IN the
house, there will be no fight, ana
those who will have purchased their
tickets in advance will gain nothing.
The fighting game is In a bad way
in Atlanta. 1t is likely to be killed
forever if the show scheduled for Fri
day night turns out to be a fiasco.

1t has been Stahl's failure TO play

DREDGERS READY FOR WORK.
Season for Catching Oysters With The
Drag Opens Nov. l, and Out
look is Good.

Extensive preparations are being
made for the opening on November l
of the oyster dredging season. An
chored ir the harbor of Baltimore are
hundred or more schooners, bugeyes
and sloops, ready from all sections
of the bay to obtain crews.
The fleet this season Is as large
as heretofore, and the only notice
able difference is the increased num-
Der of yessels equipped with gas en-
gines to wind the dredges. The oys-
termen generally are optimistic, and
from rep lrts there is large guam
tity Of good marketable oysters on
the beds.
Since September the quality has
steadily increased and the bivalves
have fattened. The market, too,
hes been better than for years. Mas
tiers of oyster boats are having
trouble in securing crews. To meet
the demands shipping masters are
seeking dredge hands in many of the
larger cfies.
All oysters marketed so far this
season have been tonged, the buyers
being local packing houses. A num-
ber of steamhouses have been in oper-
alton FOB the last month preparing
oysters for canning. The opening OF
the dredging season means an in.
creased activity in all branches OF
the trade.

TICKET ARRANGEMENTS
FOR ARMY NAVY GAME
Secretary Of N. Y. Baseball CluE
Issues Statement.
ACADEMIES TO GET $4,000.
And IN Addition 5000 More VIII be
Held on Demand for Them
Nays Share Larger.

Complete arrangements have been
made by the New York Baseball Club
for the handling of the big crowd
that is expected to witness the Army
Navy football game at the Polo
Grounds on November 29.
The following statement of the
plans of the management were made
public by John B. Foster, the club S
secretary:
This statement is made that the
ticket situation for the Army-Navy
game shall be clearly understood by
the public When the New York
Baseball Club signed an agreement
with the Army and Navy to play foot
ball in New York, November 90, it
was with this understanding Army
and Navy combined were to have rs,
600 tickets to be distributed equally
between the academies. 1t was also
agreed that if these tickets were not
sufficient to provide for the necessi-
ties of the Army and Navy each SER
vice should be allowed to issue requi-
sitions upon the New York Baseball
Club for 4, 900 tickets prior to No
vember 8.
This made a total of 5000 to be
added to the rs, 600 already agree
upon. AS the demand for tickets in
the Navy is greater than it is in the
Army, owing to the larger number
of midshipmen than cadets, the Navy
requested an additional 1000 tickets,
these seats to be located on each side
of their section of $4,000, making
their total 1850, exclusive of the
4, 900 tickets in reserve.
The general total, therefore, of
tickets for the Army and Navy is as
foows: Twelve thousand five hundred
for the Army, plus 1000 on demand
until November 10; 800 for the
Navy, plus 1000 on demand until
November 10. The New York Base
ball Club for that reason must hold in
reserve until November 10, at mid
night, $4,000 tickets to which the
Army and Navy are entitled.
If all the 5000 in reserve are not
then taken the New York Baseball
Club will be at liberty to sell them.
On the morning of November 20 the
New York Base ball Club may nj
have at its disposal more than 5000
tickets in all. 1t will be the policy
of the club in disposing of this 5000
hold strictly to the ules provided
by the committee which has charge
of the distribution of the tickets.
1t was also agreed by the New
York Baseball Club to pay a large
sum in cash to the hospital funds OF
the Army and Navy in consideration
of the game being played on the Polo
Grounds. This will be deducted, a
sum of $24, coo, from the general re-
ceipts of the game which must be
realized solely from those ticke Is
which are on public sale or which are
on the sale reservation lists of the
Army and Navy.
Distribution OF tickets will be
made by committee whose names
will shortly be announced. Applica-
tions in general are limited to four
seats to one person. Each seat is So,
and certified check on a New York
bank must accompany the order
Each box is 500 and accommodations
for four. In addition to the perma-
nent boxes in the stadium temporary
boxes will be built.
