Chattanooga, June 12.-(Special.) 1.-The
continuous changes being made by Elbcr-

Breaux. Because of lack of condition,

good condition as ever in his long career,

regretted passing of the dean of the staff.
After the showing Of Chappele in Atlanta
Elberfeld's judgment will always be ar

THE generosity of the twirlers
may cause an outsider to
Il gain the swatting laurels of
the American league over the
famous Tyrus and his rival Joe
Jackson. The healthy fears which
the opposing twilers entertain when
either of the wrecking duo appears
at the bat, have caused both am
bilious swatsmen to receive passes
instead of hits and both are peeved
and sore at heart
So consistently has Jackson been
passed by the opposing twirlers
that he feels u conspiracy has been
formed to chicane him out of the
batting championship. Not so much
does he fear that the laurels will
fall to other than Cobb, but his
sole ambition is to triumph over
his crafty adversary. He fears that
he may have fewer chances to hit
the ball than Cobb and, for that
reason, he is sad.
With the return of the batting
Napoleon Lajoie TO the fray, the
Nap batter has a distinct advantage
over the Georgia Peach. Jackson
and Cobb occupy positions known
as Cleanup" which is fourth in
the batting order. Following Cobb
is Neach, an ordinary hitter, while
the famous Nap Lajoie swats fifth
for Clevelanders. When the bases
are occupied by one or two men
and the Nap batter is at the bat,
the pitchers will hesitate in pass
ing him for should he be passed,
Lajoie, with his crashing willow,
is ready to relieve the congested
hassocks of thir animated freight.
In the case of Cobb, the mounds
men rarely ever hesitate in award
ing him first on balls for Bobby
Neach, the next batsman, is a much
less feared willow wielder. In this
way, Jackson should be able to hit
oftener than his compatriot and has
an excellent chance of coping the
batting honor.
But yet there is possibility of
either being outhit by an out
slider. While the American circuit
pitchers never consider passing a
batter OF ordinary swatting
strength, the proposition offered
Cobb and jackson is a pass or a
swing at Il bad ball. When the
star sluggers face the average
pitcher, they are walked. while
their hitting marks are increased
or diminished by swings against
the premier slabsmen of the cir
cult.
