NASHVILLE TO HAVE
 BIG DAY FOR BECK AS HE WILL PITCH TODAY

. EsPITE the possession ,o Of seven 800 hitters and l,, an able . pitching corps. Manager Molesworth does not fear the Crackers. Although the Atlanta club has been heralded with lauda- tory reports as the best club in the league. the Barons' leader says, in his humble opinion. that the Crackers will do well to finish third.
 "Atlanta has seven 300 hitters,' said Molesworth before the Bar ons departed for Nashville, but l really don't believe there will be more than three over 300 when the curtain falls. Welchonce and Long are hitters without striking weaknesses. But the others are not able to hit certain balls, and if the pitchers have good control they should not slug over the 300 mark. one batsman, if fed outside balls consistently. would do well to bat 100.
 "As to the pitchers. Atlanta has a fair staff. Some of the younger pitchers have a lot of stuff, but no matter how much ability a' twirler may have, unless he knows how to use it, he will have hard time getting by. The club Is not nearly as strong as 1t was last year, when it had an especially difficult time winning the pennant. Atlanta will make no runaway race in the Southern this year
 Jack Spratt Is through with base ball. The lively utility man who played with Nashville last year has decided to forsake the diamond for good. He has decided that he has a far more promising future in the business world, but if he decides to return to baseball he announces he will play with Nashville.
 Schwartz is not worried about substitutes for Catcher Dayton has already reported from the Kitty league, while Utility Man Dia- mond from Hutchinson, in the Kan sas State league, is reported en route Catcher Clifton. with Bir- mingham last year. said that Dia- mond is a better utility player

 Nashville, Tenn, July F.-Rain prevent ed the Barons from playing the Vols this afternoon, thereby forcing the two clubs to stage a double header tomorrow aft ernoon. Big Dave Roth was slated to oppose Floyd Kroh, but the moisture in terfered George Beck. one of the stars of 1913 will be the recipient of a big cele- bration tomorrow afternoon, for it will be Beck day" and he will pitch.
 It will be his first appearance with the Vols this season, for he has just arrived from Cleveland There is a possibility that another new addition will play. Catcher Dayton, recently purchased from the defunct Hopkinsville team, has ar rived and may be sent in in one of the two games. He hit over 300 in the Kitty league and has shown the symptoms of being a good receiver.
 Fred Dilger is slated to catch Roth in the first game. Tragesser is announced to receive in the second. In all probability Johnson will work against Beck in the second.

than Charlie Carroll. If this report is true. Diamond is destined to shine in the majors.
 Jack Dunn continues the sale of his star players. Not satisfied with the disposal of Cree to New York, Ruth and Shore to the Boston Red Sox, Derrick and Twombley to the Reds, Baltimore has sold Outfielder Bert Daniels and Third Baseman Ezra Midkiff to the Louisville club at top price from minor league club.
 Midlxif, formerly with the Barons, has already reported to the Associa tion club, but Daniels has declared that he will jump to the Federals. The Baltimore Feds have several play CTS injured and Daniels would fit in nicely. While Dunn did not realize the top price for Midlxiff and Daniels that he did for his other stars, in all, the Baltimore mogul cleaned up nearly sSo,000.
 The effects of the beanng received from Carl Thompson did not ma terially weaken Manager Moose Me Cormick of the Chattanooga club. Mccormick has gained a neat lead over Pete knisely for the supremacy in the Southern. The Teuton is now swatting .359, while Mccormick is the possessor of .371 mark. Mccormick has hit at faster clip since his in- jury than before. On June 29, when the blow was received, Harry had a .364 percentage.
 Larue Kirby has suffered a decided slump, while Charlie Carroll is down to .311. Little Jud Daley and Brscoe Lord are among the climbers. There has been a general decline in hitting among the leading marksmen, but the decline is quite natural. The pitch CTS are becoming more effective.
 Larry Chappell, for whom the Chi cago White Sox gave $iS,500 to Mill waukee will be unable to play again this season. The star gardner, of whom much was expected, has just discarded his crutches and will not be in shape during the rest of the cam paign. In the spring, Chappell in- jured his foot and blood poisoning set in. As a continuation of the poison ing he was forced to the hospital
 It was expected that the White Sox would be greatly weakened by his disablement, but Ray Demmitt, se cured via the waiver route, has proved a consistent hitter and a nifty player. Callahan believes that Chap pell will yet prove his worth.
