BILL SCHWARTZ PULLS A
QUEER DEAL FOR THE VOLS
Vol Leader Sells Dave Callahan to Louisville Just When Vols
Seem to Have Chance—Gets Pitcher Leverett in
Deal—Sloan to Return
ny rki'ben a. lewis
Cne of the queerest deals of tho sea
iron is attributed to the Nashville club.
Dave Callahan, the star center field
er, has been sold to Louisville and has
played his last game for the Vols. He
has been disposed of to the'scolonels
for $1100 in cash and Pitcher Leverett,
a second string twirler. The scant hope,
cherished by the Nashville fans, of win
ning the pennant seems crushed.
Callahan has hovered around the 300
iu£rk throughout the season. He is the
leading base runner of the league, hav
ing 52 stofen bases accredited to his
3 014 record. He has fielded in fine
fr.Vtn in center field and late figures
show that he is tied with Marcan for
the leading run getter of the South
ern.
The departure of Callahan will mean
the return of Yale Sloan to the game.
The hea\vy hitting outfielder has been
unable to play for past three weeks on
account of an attack of fever, but will
l»e in condition to return within the
next few days. While Sloan w|ll prob
ably offset much of the hitting strength
lost by Callahan's sale, he is not in
Dave’s class as a base runner or a
fielder.
Horace Wilbur Leverett is a big right
handed pitcher. He will report imme
d'rtely. He was drafted by Louisville
from the Fargo club in the Northern
league last *year. Previously Leverett
pitched for Minneapolis. He was fin
ishing his second year with Minneap
olis when he snapped a bone in his
right arm. He once had a big league
trial with Detroit.
The new Vol is troubled with wild
ness but Johnny Dodge states that he
will prove a “bear” in the Southern.
On account of the tight twirling of the
regulars at T^ouisville, he has not been
able to break Into the winning com
bination.
Nashville will miss Callahan.

Nashville, August 24.—(Special.)
Limited to seven innings each, Birming
ham took the double header from Nash
ville today, the first game by 4 to 0
and the second by 1 to 0.
While the home guard might have re
garded it much in the light of luck,
it was purely and atmply the case of
Birmingham pitchers, Brown and John
son, being well night airtight so far
as hits were concerned, and a general
jam-up style of "fielding and playing
on the part of their teammates.
Curly Brown and Forest More were
opposed to each other in the first
seance, and just.a freak of luck pre
vented the Baron twirler from dealing
out a no-hit game. Only one Vol man
aged to secure a safe rap and that man
was Lindsay and Lindsay is noted for
hits he doesn’t make.
The Barons put over two runs In the
first inning of the first gan\e. Marcan
slammedNone to right field, and ad
vanced to second on McDonald's bunt,
which More failed to handle. Carroll
was out on a bunt that advanced Mar
can and McDonald to third and second,
respectively. Then Stewart swatted a
hit to right field that carried him fi
nally to second, and scored the tw'o
runs. Stewart stole third, but tho
scoring was ended for the inning.
Brown Strong From Start
Brown commenced the elimination
process from the jump and never let
up, with the result that the Vols went
for seven frames with nothing but
goose eggs to their credit. Birmingham
annexed the other two runs in tho fifth
inning when Tragesser lined a two
base hit down the third base line. Mar
can followed with a safe rap to right
field and McDonald drove out another
two-bagger over third base to left field.
Brown wras already out and McDonald
being tagged out trying for third, gave
but little more chance, as Carroll, who
had gotten on base, wras forced out at
the plate on a drive by Stewart to Wil
liams.
Brown allowed but one hit, while
More gave up seven.
In the second session Johnson was
opposed by Kroh and w hile Birmingham
secured six blngles and the Nashvillians
four, there was nothing doing even in
the near scoring line until the fatal
seventh was near at hand.
In the sixth inning Gibson, who had
replaced Smith behind the bat. rapped
safe, to be followed with what Kroh
stretched into a two-bagger. Gibson
had advanced to third, and wfas throw n
out at the plate. This ended the Vols'
chance.
Eliam Scores McBride
III the seventh McBride hit safely
through short, and advanced to second
on Covington's out. Eliam then hit to
short, scoring McBride. He advanced to
second and then to thtf^d, seeing Dodge
off the bag and unable to take a throw
to the corner.
Wallace caught the second game for
the Barons and much creditTs due him,
for he knocked a couple of three-bag
gers and might have landed another,
but was hit by a pitched ball the third
time up. All the Barons played a jam
up game and noteworthy in the matter
of covering ground and swatting was
Marcan. The little second sacker seems
to have a double pair of eyes, and as
many hands combined with an un
canny knowledge of just where a ball
Is going to land.
At any rate when the ball lAided
around his territory he was there. Mc
Donald was In the game at every turn
and while he ran the bases at- a good
spurt, a right leg limp was plainly no
ticeable, and this cut oft some speed.
If there Is any weakness In the team
it did not crop out during the 14 In
nings, and If Moley's men play the brand
they played today, barring, of course,
getting more runs than acquired in the
second game, they seem surely pennant
bound.

JACKSON YOUTHS
DO NOT TAKE TO
CATCHING RATS
Jackson. Miss., August 24.—(Special)
There are few rats in Jackson, or else
t.he boys of Jackson do not know bow
to trap or kill them. Several days ago
Mayor Taylor Issued a statement to the
effect that the city would pay 5 cents
per rat for all brought t.o the city hall,
and it is said the boys and others of
the town went to work. The price of a
rat was good and perfectly satisfactory,
and it was generally thought the city was
going to have to pay out a goodly1 num
ber of dollars on this account. But It
has not, as not more than 60 rats have
been brought up as yet. In fact up to
Saturday the city was called on to pay
for but 40 of the rodents, and was out
but $2, which does not begin to pay for
the traps the boys have purchased at.
the hardware stores.
A gentleman who is experienced in rat
catching, having had to protect his
chicken feed from rats for several years,
states that he has had great success with
a self-setting trap made of a keg or
barrel that will hold water. The top of
the keg is nailed to a cross-bar that fits
over the edges, working like a pivot. A
piece of cheese is attached to one side
of the top and the rat that tries to get
it is precipitated into the keg of water.
The top then rights itself and Is ready
for the next rat. *‘I have caught as
many as a dozen rats in one keg In one
night,” says the old chicken raiser.
Commercial Rivals
From the Washington Star.
"I understand that beef Is going to be
dearer next winter than ever before.”
"Yes,” replied the Chicago packer.
“What’e the Idea?"
"We’re going to take some of the
pride out of those eastern coal barons
who thought they had the world beat
as price boosters."
