MOLESWORTH CAN’T SEE
CRACKERS AS WINNERS
Baron Leader Says Hitters Are Swatting Above Stride—Spratt
Quits Baseball—McCormick Leads Knisely in Hitting.
Larry Chappell Out for Season
fly HEIBEN A. LEWIS
ESPITE the possession or
seven .800 hitters and an abie
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 I
really don't believe there will be
more than three over .800 when
the curtain falls. TVelchonce and
Ivong 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, be will have a hard
time getting by. The club is not
nearly as strong as it 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
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 T womb ley to the
Reds, Baltimore has sold Outfielder
Bert Daniels and Third Baseman
Ezra Midkiff to the Louisville
club at a top price from a minor
league club.
Midkiff. formerly with the Barons,
has already reported to the Associa
tion club, but Daniels has declared
that he will jump to the Fedora Is.
The Baltimore Feds have several play
ers injured and Daniels would fit hi
nicely. While Dunn did not realize the
top price for Midkiff and Daniels that
he did for his other stars, in all. the
Baltimore mogul cleaned up nearly
$80,000.
* * *
The effects of the Penning received
from Carl Thompson did not ma
terially weaken Manager Moose Mc
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 a .371 mark. McCormick
has lilt at a faster clip since his in
jury than before. On June 29. when
the blow was received, Harry had a
.364 percentage.
Larue Kirby lias suffered a decided
slump, while Charlie Carroll is down
to .311. Little Jud Daley and Briscoe
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
ers are becoming more effective.
* * *
Larry Chappell, for whom the Chi
cago White Sox gave $18,500 to Mil
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 Ills foot and blood poisoning set
in. As a culmination of the poison
ing he was forced to the hospital.
It was expected that the White Sox
would be greatly weakened by bis
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.

VISITING PLAYERS MASTERED BY
LOCAL FA VORITES IN THE FINALS
BROOKS AND BARTLETT SUC
CESSFUL IN BOTH OF FINALS.
CHALLENGE ROUNDS TAKE
PLACE TODAY
Hy ASA no I 1VTH KM, .IR.
Final honors in the Cotton States tennis
tournament, that has been going on at
the Country Hub since Monday, went to
local entries in the concluding matches
played yesterday morning and afternoon.
Lee Allen Brooks and William Bartlett,
representing the Country club, easily won
their finals In doubles during the morn
ing, and in the afternoon Bartlett also
won the right to meet Carleton Smith
of Atlanta in the challenge round by dis
posing of his opponent in a comparative
ly easy manner.
All three of the opponents of Brooks
and Bartlett were out-of-town players. In
the doubles John McConnell and Hugh
McEniry of Bessemer sought access to
the challenge round and in singles young
Vernon McMillan of Atlanta was the final
contestant Bartlett had to contend with.
Brooks and Barlle^ won from Mc
Eniry and McConnell, 6-1, fi-8, 6-1 and
6-1, being forced to go four sets by the
Bessemer players. After losing the first
set McConnell and McEniry became more
aggressive and finally won the second
contest in a 14-game struggle. However,
this setback did not affect the-playing of
Brooks and Bartlett and they came back
and won the following two sets with little
trouble.
Bartlett Masters McMillan
The experience and steady playing of
Bartlett in the finals for singles was too
much for Vernon McMillan and he was
defeated in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3 and 6-2.
This morning at 10 o’clock the challenge,
round in singles will be contested on the
Country club courts, with Carleton Smith,
the litleholdor, and William Bartlett, the
challenger, as contestants. At 4 o’clock
in the afternoon Brooks and Bartlett will
take on Smith and Mansfield in an effort
to gain the silver loving cup of the
Cotton States tournament.
Carleton Smith arrived in Birmingham
early yesterday morning and throughout
the greater part of the day practiced on
the club courts. During the morning Car
roll Blake, referee of the tournament,
worked with him, while, in the afternoon,
with McMillan as a partner, he went up
against Mathews of Atlanta and Dee Al
len Brooks
Although his play showed lack of suffi
cient practice. Smith gave an exhibi
tion in playing that opened wide the eyes
of the spectators. His drives to the back
of the court were almost perfect and well
nigh unreturnable. He moved fast on his
feet and showed to advantage in back
hand recoveries. His strokes had plenty
of smoke behind them and Brooks and
Bartlett will have their hands full today.
On account of high business pressure.
Mansfield did not accompany Smith to
Birmingham when he learned that the
challenge round in doubles would not take
place until this afternoon and he will
reach the city during the early part of
the morning.
Public Cordially Invited
To the challenge rounds both in the
morning and afternoon the public is cor
dially invited by officials of the Country
club and ample arrangements are being
made to take care of a large gallery.
Following the contesting of the chal
lei ge round for doubles in the afternoon
a special exhibition match will be staged
for the benefit of the gallery. Should
the players participating in this match
show unexpected form the match will
prove the stellar attraction of the tourna
ment, but at any rate will be worth going
far to see, even if it assumes the shape
of a farcial tragedy. All four are tourn
ament winners, although they will not
divulge the names of ihose from which
they have emerged successfully.
McConnell and McEniry played a very
creditable game yesterday morning though
outclassed. The two Bessemer players did
i ot become discouraged over repeated re
verses and were full of fight until the
very end. The local favorites easily an
nexed the opening set, taking all but the
second game. But in the second McCon
nell and McEniry played stubbornly and
gleaned enough games from their oppo
nents to acquire the set. With the score
standing 6 all, McConnell and McEniry,
by determined playing, won the last two
games, the thirteenth and fourteenth, giv
ing them the set, 8-6.
In both the third and fourth struggles
the Bessemer pair won the first games
played and then suffered defeat in the fol
U wing six.
Eleven deuce games were fought In the
first two sets and in these Brooks and
Bartlett were the more successful. The
Country club team won two deuce games
er.d lost one on its serves, while the Besse
mer combination won four and lost four
on its serves.
In spite of the fact that McMillan played
a consistent game, Billie Bartlett had lit
tle trouble in winning out, his experience
more than counterbalancing the deter
mined assaults of the visitor. McMillan's
fatal weakness was his inability to drive
his ball with any great speed. He placed
liis balls neatly, but frequently they were
so slow that Bartlett had plenty of time
to recover. When McMillan did send his
balls shooting into the corners Bartlett
found them hard to return.
Bartlett opened the match by taking the
' first two games. McMillan promptly tied
1 the count by winning two in succession,
1 but fell In the rear again when Bartlett
won three straight. After losing the
1 eighth game Bartlett won the set by cor
1 laling the ninth.
The second set was also a seesaw af
fair. Bartlett won three and then al
lowed McMillan to even the score. Tills
advantage proved of short duration, for
! Bartlett won another trio of contest and
the set.
McMillan played determinedly in the
1 third set, winning the first two. However,
Bartlett swept forward with a rush and
1 won the set and match by taking six
‘ straight games

Nashville, Ten'll.. July 17—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 3913, 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
tw’o games. He hit over .300 in the Kitty
league and has shown the symptoms ol
being a good receiver.
Fred Dllger is slated to catch Roth in
the first game. Tragesser is announced tc
receive in the second. In all probability
Johnson will work against Beck in the
second.
