CHAT ANOOGA' :
NEW MANAGER
A BIC MYSTERY
\ NASHVILLE TENN. Sept. "a
N Every once In a while that old
gag SPRINGS ND about a pronhe.

NASHVILLE TENN. Sept. "a
N Every once In a while that old
gag springs up about a prophet
being decorated with medals every
where except in his own voting pre-
ciuct. and just now Bill Schwartz. the
Boy Leader OF the Vols, is getting
taste of &C.
They tried to get Bill to manage
the Chattanooga club i'm 1914. when
the shrieks Of the head hunters in
the bleachers had hardly died away
President Andrews. at the Cincinnati
draft meeting, wanted to know il Bill
was In a position to talk about a
berth with the Lookouts next season.
Andrews had Just got through telling
Schwartz about the ugly look Of the
stuff Kid Elbcrfgld pulled in that final
clash with the Crackers, after the
Kid pretty nearly went .nu'ty think
ing UP names TO call RtHv Smith.
Now, Bits answer TO Andrews was
chara cterislC OF the loyal make up
OF his, for Bill IS second to more
when II comes to fighting for ms
club and its interests before anything
else is considered.
Bill told Mr.. Andrews he could not
think Of discussf~- Job with any
uiner club so Ions as he was on the
Vols reserve list and he had been
given to understand by President Hir-
sig, Of the Vols, that he would be
needed in 1914 around Nashville to
direct the team from the bench.
Something Is Doing.
Now ali of this has something to
do with the Identity Of the new lead
or for the Lookouts. since Kid Fiber
field has wended his way TO New Or
leans.
II seems a shame to puuCture the
dream about Jimmy SheCkard pilot
ing the Chattanooga club through the
1914 campaign, but the man for whom
Mr. Andrews Just now Is dickering
and who is pretty sure to be landed
while a veteran ball tosser. never
signs his checks as Jimmy SheCk-
ard
The embryo pilot for that matter
never slone on any National League
diamond; either iufield or Ouufield. But
in Ban JohHssn's circuit he was the
king Of his class. a mark for all sue
ceeding inheIders TO shoot at. and
though they wasted plenty OF ammu-
milton, the crown has never yet been
Wrasted from this fellows head.

Nashville to Retain
Schwartz as Manager

NASHVILLE. TENN, Sept. "a
ing than Nashville in the Southern
League race are showing dissatisfac-
ton with their team leaders, the Vol
unteer owners are willing to take an
other chance with Bill Schwartz, be-
lieving that the blame for the locals
lowly position should be placed else
where than on the manager.
1t IS practically settled that
Schwartz win manage the team from
the bench next season. Age mas
slowed this erstwhile brilliant player
down and he realizes that his use
fulness to the club as a rAayer is at
an end, but there are none who will
say that his ability as a manager is
lessened. The Volunteers did not
make a decent finish, but this was
not altogether Schwartz's fault. He
made a good showing with the ma
terial and resources at hand. The
club won the last seven out Of eight
games played and showed great i'm
provement after the addition of Hof-
man and Spratt.
Manager Schwartz is already laying
plans for next JASON He win lose

An effort will be made to form an al
lance with a big league club in order
to secure recruits for seasoning. The
experience Of Mobile and Atlanta,

and Washington, respectively, proves
the desirability Of such an arrange

y Hugh Springer, OF Vancouver,
B. c.. please pay attention. Mr..
Willie Richie, lightweight champion
OF the world, stands ready to accept
your wager of $4,000. which you de-
clared your readiness to make In
order to convince the public that GER
tain things you charged the cham
pion with are true.
Mr.. Springers arraignment Of
Richie tried, to make It appear that
he left Vancouver because Springer
repudiated certain things promised by
his agent, Richie, as matter Of fact,
had cancelled his forfeit check and
made all arrangements for his de-
parture for San Francisco before he
conferred with Springer on the dis
puted point.
Richie. IN a signed statement, re-
flutes the principal charges made by
Springer and says he is willing Ia
forfeit $4,000. the amount proposed
by Springer, II he can not prove the
truth OF what he saws.
Mr.. Springer in his communication
said: 81 am prepared to back up
every statement I make with a $4,000
certified check, to be placed In the
hands of any responsible person In
California, and he TO be sole arbi-
traitor" and adds a little later on, lin
fairness. l think that Richie SHOULD
either be made to put up his money
or admit that he was absolutely and
entirely to blame"

EUTHAT is the lightweight class
MAJ canning TOO Where Ia the

w INA is the ll9ntWelght class
w coming to? Where is the
weight limit in the class
going to wind up? Who's going TO
be champion. and will we have
couple OF champions? or is the old
limit of 1913 pounds at the ringside
now the only real time honored
limit that we have left in any of
the classes to be wiped out alto
gether through the increasing
poundage Of the present champion?
These are the questions that are
being asked by some Of the men
who follow closely the game OF fisti-
cuffs and 1t certainly looks as il
there might be an evolution at hand
that viii vitality affect the status
Of several of the stars that have
been battling IN the division.
WILLIE RICHIE, present cham
w pion, intends to keep his title,
he says despite the fact that Fred
die Welsh, the English champion,
insists that Richie forfeited all
rights to the honor to him when he
ran out Of Vancouver without a
word of excuse on the eve of battle.
Willie won the honOrs practically
at the lightweight limit of 1873
pounds and possibly might be able
to make 1t again. But in answer
to all inquiries about future
matches for the one with Charley
White in Milwaukee, for instance,
he says that 1876 pounds at the ring
side is the very best that anybody
may expect of him. Of course, there
is a chance that if anybody could
force him into a real 20-rOund
championship meeting that he
might agree TO 1873 pounds at the
ringside, but this is a matter Of
grave doubt. We think he would
name 1875 pounds as the mark to
shoot at
1T ever has been the prerogative
OF the man holding the title to
dictate arbitrarily in the matter OF
poundage. Thus Joe Cans, who
never cared much, let the limit
slide through AT 1873 pounds simply
because he could make IT.. When he
killed himself doing the figure so
often his successor, the unmatch-
able Battling Nelson. continued in
the same groove and Insisted that
everybody that looked Ike a serious
Contended be compelled 20 step on
the scales Just before starting the
scrap. In turn, Ad Wolgast, who

SPORTING COMMENT

annexed the title in a desperate
4O-round affair with Nelson, Kept
up that limit because he was a ut
tie fellow who always could DO WsI
inside of 1873 pounds-down az low
as 126 pounds, in fact.
DUT when Richie was declared
ID the winner on a foul over VOL
CAST the entire situation changed
He indicated that he wasn't fond
of tempting Cans fate by dragging
himself down to a low weight every
time he boxed an, as a result the
old scale went into the discard as
far as the champion is concerned.
Now, II Richie is getting bigger,
where is the thing going 10 end,
and what Is TO become of the men
who can make the old lightweight
limit and still insist that they are
contenders for the title? II man
boxes Ritchie he isn't supposed to
murmur over the weight terms. All
that is expected OF him is to put
up the best fight he IS capable Of
and at the champions Own terms.
Whatever happens he must be con-
tent that he got chance to box
a champion.
\XOLGAsT never cared much
w what any Of thtn weighed,
because he had grounded
idea that he could beat them. little
or big. but he had manager who
had some sense, and this kept the
Michigan wildcat In some sort Of
submission so far as the weight
question IS concerned II is ap-
parent that Richie is going to let
the bars down, too. but for an en-
tirely different reason-
1T would be a strange situation
IL We had two lightweight diyi-
sions. the real 1873 Founders being
forced to stick by themselves, while
the larger ones, or men who can not
do better than 1876 pounds or so,
were herded together Yet that Is
what is apt to happen in the light
Of recent revelations about Ritchle's
weight.
IT'S apparent now. that Frank
Chance is whipping a bunch Of
baseball players into pretty fair
shape in New York and that he
won't be the butt OF the American
League very much longer. There
were a lot OF nice things said the
other day when Franks Chicago
friends looked at the score boards
and saw that the p L. had finally
pulled his crew out Of the cellar.
and n the day ever comes wien
Frank can fash a good-looking and
a good playing battle front along
the line 1t will help the American
League more than little.

RED MURRAY
IN FINE FORM
FOR BIC SERIES
By Sam Crane.

John Red" Murray is liable to be
Just as prominent in the coming
worlds series as he was in the last
when he was a shining light Of daz-
ling brilliancy.
In 1911 Red" went through the
series between the Giants and Ath-
letics without making a base hit. and,
in consequence. he received almost
as many knocks" that fall as did
Snodgrass last year for making his
world famous nun.
But the fery-topped Irishman came
right back with all OF his Irish up.
and laced the ball far better and
more timely against the Red Sox than
those who were batting stars the
previous year.
Reds" fielding was fully up to his
own high standard, and his many.
brilliant catches are matters or
worlds series history. One catch he
made when he termed a bIck somer-
sault over the low fence back of left
field. on the Boston grounds, was
sensation OF the series.
Has Improved in Fielding.
Now. Red" this year has shown
Improvement over his fielding of past
years. His work in right field has
been remarkable, his One-hand
catches having been little short Of
miraculous. But he has made so
many of them that they can not be
considered as "horseshoes."
Murray IS a temperamental Fellow,
although he has a teciturn manner
II things turn his w9v during the
first game of the worlds series, one
can look for him 10 do splendid work
all through It. He Is bound to do
well anyhow, but II he gets the
break" as q starter, then look out
for the red-headed Irishman. Red la
not batting overstrone this year his
average being about .275.
In worlds series. though, any play
er's seasons record may be entirely
al variance with what he may do in
the fast games the battle for the
gonfa,on Of the universe calls for
Murray is very liable to cut loose at
far over a 800 gait. Red" must
have some game Of importance on
hand to become vitality interested.
and the worlds series contests will
surely afford that.
Has Wonderful Wing.
Red" is acknowledged to own the
strongest throwing arm OF any out
fielder in the country, and his &C
curacy Of aim IS proverbial. There
are no National League players who
dare to take any long chances with
Reds famous wing" and II is not
likely that any Of the Athletics will
do so.
A good throwing outnelder is a
very valuable man for any club. He
can be depended on to hold the Ath-
letics down to as few bases as is
possible.
AS a ground coverer Red has no
superior. and he is a sterling base
runner. He can be depended on to
fully hold his own against any OF
his opposing outfielders, except in
batting. and still he is liable at any
time to START a hitting squirt S he
did against the Red SOx last fall.
As a fielder ana thrower he can not
be excelled-
Murray has been in two world
series, and that experience should be
valuable to both himself and his club
in this his third. He is game
player. and will be there fighting to
the end, win or lose. He's Irish.
