Flanagan Signs With Crackers
No Anxiety Over Dent Report

the New York Americans, undecided
whether to take chance with Chance
or stick to the automobile business
here IN Atlanta, where he Is identi-
fed with the Maxwell people.
In either event, it is improbable
that Carl will wear a Cracker uni
form in 1914, which is to be regret
ted. He did some sterling work the
latter part of last season.
A NYWAY, there doesn't seem to be
"A much anxiety at Cracker head

ed detection Dent has signed his
contract, and not long ago he wrote
to Manager Smith, asking for q small
shipment of baseballs, to begin light

Billy sent the pellets off this week,
and there seems to be little or no
doubt that Dent will be on hand and
in good shape when the flag drops.
A KIND friend In winder, Ga,
- writes to ask what has become
of Voss and Bailey, Of last years
Crackers; also Jeff McCleskey, who
played with Albany, and Earl Sykes.
Our information just now is that
Voss will be back with Macon at the
drop of the hat in 1914; that the
Boston Nationals have purchased
McCleskey; that Sykes will remain
with the Dayton club, of the Central
League; and that Bailey will play ball
wherever he can get a job, If he
plays at all. He was allowed to go
home to rest under verbal agree
ment with the Atlanta club, and is no
longer on the Crackers reserve list.

Adolph Wolgast The former
lightweight champion Is going &c
fight shy of the bouts with the
smaller fry of the lightweight
class, mindful of the fact that 1t
was against men Of this classifi-

Tommy Mcfarland.
WOLGAST is not going to pass

he needs them in his business, or
In other words, as a means of
keeping himself entirely fit for the

But he is going to be mighty gin
gerry about the kind Of company

to make any weight for any of
them unless there Is plenty of
money In sight. Wolgast is not
going to train any more in the
future than he has to in order to
keep a nice edge on his condition.
A IT, this was brought out by
- the negotiations that have
been in progress for several days
relative to meeting between
Wolgast and Tommy Gary in
Cincinnati. II was this same
Gary who took sick two days be-
fore he was matched with VOL

weight conditions for men that
were not right up there near the

from baseball headquarters and was
the news of telegram received from
