FIRST SACkER WANTS TO SUP PLANT MANAGER ROBINSON AT BROOKLYN = LOOKOUT JAKE!

 New York, August 15.--The Hal Chase case Is being duplicated across the bridge from here In the camp of the Brooklyn National league clubs. if talk that leaks out from conversations among the players can be believed.
 Remember the Hal Chase case? Chase is the fellow who undermined George Stallngs back in 1910 and caused the big chief to be fired from the manage ment of the New York Americans. his successor being none other than Chase himself. 1t will be recalled that later on, after Chase had proved a failure, and had been put down in the ranks again Harry Wolverton became boss of the team. But Chase's managing bee kept buzzing in his bonnet and he is sup posed to have used the same tactics as before in the effort to make wolverton seem a boob.
 Everybody knows Chase ''laid down on the job at first base, and he is be- leved also to have lined up his little clique again to do the same thing. Then wolverton was fired when the Yankees

GADSDEN NEWS

Gadsden, August 15-(Special.)--It Is probable that the fight for the improve ment of Walnut street will be opened be- two petitions to be presented, 1t Is under stood. One asks tor siag and chert with an oil dressing. while the other seeks a permanent paving. The city now offers to shoulder the burden of about one third the cost of street improvement, and property holders are fearful that the next administration may assess more of the cost against abutting property. There fore, some of them are anxious to have the work done now.
 Gus Cranford was arrested in Pittsburg, Tex, and returned here by Sheriff Iis- ter. charged with grand larceny Ac- cording to information secured by the of- hcers. Cranford is alleged to be one of the smoothest cattle thieves that has been in the country for years It is claimed that he carried on his operations north of the city until discovered. when he fled to Texas.
 Steps are to be taken to secure bac- terial examination of the city's water supply. It is believed to be absolutely pure but 1t will be examined for traces of typhoid. A movement also has been start ed to clean up the city.

PETTY DISSENSIONS WILL

Drastic Measures Will Be Taken Insure Among Rival Combined Effort of Members Necessary For Sue

generally did nearly as they pleased but thorough house cleaning was inaugurated before the season begun and the inconsistency that thwarted the growth of the league was done away with.
 Useless protests are being un- heard now and dire threats Of withdrawal and other complica- tions are proving futile.
 The league is usually strong at this time and by pulling together. instead of in opposite directions. the membership can make 1t an institution that will receive the whole hearted support of the pub lic. In unity there is strength and it is only in this manenr that the city organization can retain the Support of their present followers Bick ering players and teams are rapidly deserted by adherents and no good can be gleaned from un- founded dissatisfaction. The league is not run for the benefit of any team or clique and as long as all receive fair treatment, good fellow ship should prevail.
 meeting of the league will be held Tuesday evening and 1t Is to be hoped that all of the trouble will be remedied and that the league will again enter on an era of unrivaled prosperity.

were in the cellar. But Chase didn't get the job. Frank Chance got it. Chase in- augurated his same old tactics. Chance wouldn't stand for them and traded Chase\to the Chicago White sox. There Chase lined up Third Baseman Harry Lord and others in his machinations against Jimmy Callahan The latter couldn't help hearing about it. and let what was going on Chase was skating on very thin ice, when he finally jumped to the Buffalo Federals.
 Over in Brooklyn the situation is al- most the same. First Baseman Jake Dau- bert is the one with managerial ambi- tions. It is known beyond all doubt that he had his mind on the job at the head of the Dodgers when Bill Dahen was holding it down. It is certain, how ever, that he did not "soldier on the job last year, when he led the league in battling. As matter of fact. there was no need for such methods, for the team was such weak sister for so many seasons that Dahlens demotlon was only question of time. When Dahlen fi- nally was relieved of the leadership at the end of the season. Daubert thought surely he would get 1t.
 Several months of the off season had passed by before President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club made any announcement of the new leader. Everybody or nearly everybody thought Daubert would be the man. But when the announcement was made at last, Wilbert Robinson, former assistant of John McGraw, with the Giants, was the selection.
 Daubert was piqued. His friends on the team took his side, and they have not been giving their best services for

1NFOR rUNATELY petty dis sension has arisen in the City league but this will not be allowed to disrupt if 1t Is in the power of officials and influen- tial members to prevent. Until of late the affairs of the organization have been running along smoothly and the disagreements that have come up will not be sufficient to cause a discontinuance of league activities at the present time.
 This spring the league was re- organized on strong foundation and the discordant element that threatened its existence toward the conclusion of the 1913 season was eliminated. Already a number of applicants for membership in the circuit are on hand and so no seri- ous inconvenience will be felt through the withdrawing of dis satisfied teams.
 The rules of the league are be- ing enforced by the administration in a fair and impartial manner and some of the teams find 1t hard to grow accustomed to the new or der of things. In the past they

the new manager, with the result that the club one which figures on paper to be somewhere among the first four, is down in the second division with chance of finishing in the cellar. Robinson heard Of what was occurring behind his back. The expected thing would be for him to show up the maicontents. but he did not do it. Instead he tried to keep it quiet hoping he would be able to win these fellows around just by giving them such square deal they would feel ashamed of themselves
 The machinations of his employees n- nally reached the ears of President Eb- bets( who immediately assured Robinson of his entire support and he even went so far as to sign Robinson to a new con- tract covering a period or three extra years doing thls while the team was right in the depths of a disastrous slump
 shortly after this Catcher Tex Erwin. one of the Daubert sympathizers, was re- leased outright and then a week ago Third Baseman Red Smith was sold to the Boston Braves Robinson issnow tho boss around Ebbets Field. Absolute au- thority has been given him in the ad- ninistration of the playing end of the club. And the players in general under stand now that they will have to hustle or get out Robinson. like all other major league managers, has been bothered of course this year by the part of the Fed eral league Is playing. He cannot com mand the proper respect under these con ditions Major league discipline has been more or less of joke. anyway. Players hold Federal league threats over the heads of their employers.
 Some of tho worst offenders In the Brooklyn club, 1t is reported, are pitchers. Weak pitching has been one of the worst evils of the team, which Is away down in the standing though it ranks first in batting and second in fielding. One pitch CT in particular who has proved a bitter disappointment has been giving most of his outside attention to the Baseball Play ers' fraternity and the Brooklyn Feds. He is Ed Reulhach. who is vice presi- dent of fluctuatlng Dave Fultz's union. He was taken off his high horse when the club obtained waivers on him. Then he came to time and pleaded for another chance. which was granted Ebbets an- nounccd only last week that he had re- called waivers on Reulbach.
 How much of an active part Dauberi has played in the conspiracies against Robinson is not known, but suffice 1t tc say that this crack first baseman wht led the league in batting last year ant | also earned the automobile for being th' most valuable ball player in the Nationa all of receiving such honors this year He Is without a doubt the greatest first ba seman In the game when he fs tryins his level best He is playing only fall game this season.

BILLIARD SHOT IN GOLF WELCOMED

Chicago, August 15.-Golgs latest inno- vation. the billiard stroke. found itself held up pending investigation by officials of the royal and ancient pastime after which it may or may not be allowed to proceed into tournament play.
 Golfers all over the city welcomed the shot, which Is simple billiard stroke with a reversed club used In polling out of stymles on the green
 Warren K. Wood. present western anna teur champion, and President Frank L. Woodward of the Western Golf associa- ton. have different views on the legality of the stroke. Wood states that he has used it himself never in the tournament matches, and that 1t is useful without a doubt He adds that under five 1t must be considered a stroke, for the ball is not pushed scraped or spooned.
 Woodward rules most empratically against 1t. declaring the definiation of a stroke as adopted by the [. s. c, A. in 1913 bars the freak play.
 This states that stroke is the forward movement of the club made with the ln- tention of striking the ball or any con tact between the head of the club and the ball resulting In movement of the ball except in case of ball accidentally knocked off the tee.
