SCHWARTZ PLANS ID . BECOME A M0GU[ Nashville Manager Has His Eyes on Minor League
 Franchise

Unless his plans miscarry Bill ager" of the Southern association. may be the boy mogul'' during the 1916 season. The Nashville leader has all ready rendered his resignation as man. Is not through with baseball. but in tends to get in a little deeper
 Bill wants to become a mogul and nas already been dickering with the central league to realize his desires. It is his plan to re-establish baseball in Akron, O. He has been in corres- pondence with Louis Heilbroner, pres ident of the Central league, and seems assured of success.
 T do not intend to retire from base ball." said Manager. Schwartz, who is one of the most genial and popular managers in the Southern, but hope to land a minor league franchise for my self. Akron Is the oite l have in mind and this bustlins city of 10000 will surely support a club. It has been without baseball for two years, but l am endeavoring to revive it in the Gen. tral league. The returns from a good minor league franchise are much more substantial than the salary of minor league manager"
 The Nashville manager did not an- nounce whether or not he would try to return actively to the game or not. He probably will manage the club from the bench.

 Good Card

| Detroit, August 30.-Two of the strongest western contenders for the national am- | ateur golf championship will meet in the first round of match play at the Coun.ry club tomorrow. Drawings which followed completion of todays 36- hole qualification test picked Charles Evans, Jr., of Chicago to oppose D. E. Sawyer of Wheaton, H.. of the 16 matches to be played this clash l between the two noted veterans sur | passed all in interest
 Jerome Travers will meet George A. crulnp of Philadelphia; Francis Guimet. national champion. has for his opponent W. H. Gardner II, of Buffalo If Travers | and Evans win tomorrow and Wednesdoy ', | they must meet Thursday. Ouimet, if | successful, will not be obliged to play either until the final round Saturday. Close followers of the sport declare !, ul- met has better than an even chance in defending his title
 Many low were turned in today. Robert A. Gardner of Chicago had the pest mark, 16. for the first IS holes. He shot q lS in the afternoon, but his con- slstent effort was not sufficiently low to make him the medalist. Dudley Nudge young St. Paul player, who won the an- otOui eHdilpiOHSTip or Minnesota tEfee weeks ago. captured the leading honor In the morning he scored a 19, but he played a par 13 after lunch. Nudge had an opportunity to equal the course rec ord of 72, but an over-approaeh of the eighteenth hole made it necessary to take two puts for a four.
 Ouimet though bothered with cold played faster game than he did last week and his medal count was 155. Saw tralf hal, ,i,,1 r.. and Evans finished with 162 each. Neson Whitney of New Orleans continued to at trct attention and his 157 total was the result of steady play.

KARL BLACK MAY SET
 1915 PITCHING MARK
Baron Southpaw Has Won Five Straight Gaes-Must Take Three More to Better Records of Robertson and
 Roth-Few Long Winning Streaks

, scored over Little Rock On August 25 Black relieved Johnson when the Travel CTS were hitting him fiercely and pitched shut-out ball for the next six innings. The Barons solved the opposing slabs man and won the battle. to 4.
 Black registered his fifth consecutive victory on Sunday in Memphis when tie Chicks were held to six hits and one run, While Merritt was touched up for three
 markers. It Is improbable that he will
 twirl against the Nashville club, out he
 will surely oppose Atlanta.
 The Baron twirier will have to win but three successive games to set the 1915 rec ord Dick Robertson and Dave Roth are tied for this honor now. Robertson won the first seven games he twirled for the
 Barons, while Roth achieved success for Memphis in seven straight battles. In winning the five games. Black has not pitched single shut-out. He has taken the game easily until the opposition threatened and then extended himself. By thus conserving his energy, the south-
 paw has been hard to solve.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-08-31

Though the 1915 campaign has produced three no-hit games, it has failed dis mally in affording pitchers who have won long sequences of games. Inasmucn as Karl Black the Baron southpaw, has won five straight games. there is a pos5i- hility that the lanky portwheeler may set Southern league mark this year. Lau- denschlager has not been beaten since Au- gust ?, when the Memphii handed him . decisive drubbing, scoring Il runs.
 Black inaugurated his winning streak against the lowly Mobile Gulls winning the Sabbath engagement on August 15, by the score of to ?. The closely contested series with Chattanooga enabled Black to swel! his string to three straights. On August 19, he downed the Lookouts, to 2 On August 21. the southpaw returned to the mound after one days rest and received credit for 4-to-3 victory

DRASTIC ACTION
 AGAINST STARK AND
 : CRIMES FOR FIGHT
President Baugh Will Probe Affair-Neither Seriously Hurt in Fist Fight at
 Yesterdays Game

AS a result of yesterdays fracas be- tween Burleigh Grimes and Dolly Stark, both players were put UT fer a $50 bond on the charge of affray to appear in the police court this morning
 The affair came in the sixth inning. With one down. Stark advanced to the plate, and with the count ? and 2 dumped an easy roller down the first nase line. Grimes started for the ball. which was rolling on the line. He picked up the ball. but had tJ cross Stark's lath on account of the speed at which ,,e was running. He stepped out of the way O, the runner anC al the same time touched him. It is claimed that Starl. lunged at Grimes and n doing so spiked the Baron pitcher and push 4d him out Of the diamond
 Grimes whrled and threw the bal toward the inlcid, striking Stark on the I lad. Grimes claims that he did rot know that Stark was lying on the ground, and that for Eim lnten.ionaily / hitting the Vol captain it was a mis- take. After the ball had hit Stark he jumped up and made a rush at Grimes, but the blow was knocked off by 'Rube'' Kissinger interfering. by holding the Volunteer. Grimes immediately threw down his glove and took vicious swing at Stark landing a firm blow on his op- ponents jaw.
 Players from both sides rushed upon the field and for time it looked like a free-for-all fight but Birmingham's po- lice force rushed upon the field and things quilted down. Stark suffered no injuries from the fight, although the Vol captain received a stunning bow.
 Both Grimes and Stark were ordered from the game. The affair came up sud denly ani pal alyzed the fans who were looking.
 'I have not received the official re- port of the fracas," said Mr Baugh in commenting on the affair. but I will make thorough investigation as soon as l have confered with Mr. .stratfoid and have given an opportunity tu both sides to present their case. I intend to take drastic action because 1 will not tolerate any such scenes on Southern league diamond. I will probably an- nounce my findings tomorrow"

BERLIN'S SIDE
OF HESPERIAN
CASE IS Sent

BERLIN, via Amsterdam, Sept. Is
Am ssador Gerard today forwarded
to Washington a note regarding the
sinking of tho. Allan liner Hesperian,
which was handed to him yesterday
by Herr Won Jagow, the German for
eign minister The note sets forth the
fact that the German government
does not credit the reports that the
Hesperian was destroyed by a subna-
rine, giving With lnore detail its optn-
ion as expressed Yesterday.
The Overseas News Agency today
made public tho following statement
on the Hesperian affair:
Although all the submarines which
were out at sea on September have
not returned, it seems practically GER
tain that the Hesperian was not sunk
by a German submarine. No German
submarine on that critical day was in
the waters whcrc the Hesperian sank,
according to the official list Of their
disp csition.
