TOURISTS IIHOE
ILL'S GIF
TODRT
The Tourists arc encamped today
at JacksonviHe. for three games with
Mullaney's Scouts. It's a ten to one
shot the Champs won't bo as easy
picking at home as they were hero
week before last, and just as safe a
bet they'll play faster ball. But even
at that, ...ough. Heinie Busch and his
team-mates should consistently get
away with one game, if not a pair of
scalps.
The season ends so far as Au
gusta is immediately concerned, at
Savannah, where the Tourists play
the last three days of the week, if
they get away with one at ,1 ackson
ville amt two from Morris' hirelings,
which shouldn’t be a desperate under
taking, it'll be an even break for tha
week.
In today's game Busch will probab
ly w'ork Rip Reagan and one of the
recruits in Tuesday’s game.

This picture shows Honuv Wagner, the great Pitts

National League, with an average of 335.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb, benedict, champion batsman and bascrun
ner. et. cet., is still leading the American League with an average of
.343. The Georgian Is playing in the same reckless manner that made
him the sensation of the American League last year. Up until Au
gust 7 he has reeled off 12C hits from his trusty wtlinw, and he bids fair
to exceed the total of 212, which he made last season.
Hans Wagner, of Cat-nog!-., Pa., the "Flying Dutchman,” as he is
called by many, is now the leader of the National, with average of. 335
Hans is the mainstay of the pirates, and it is seldom that he does not
get one of his terrific drives, clearing the bases and winning the. game,
for his team, and,yet It Is said he is knocked. Pray, tell me what it
is the fans want.
Mike Donlln, captain of the Giants, Is second to Wagner, with an
average of :12«. but he lias been In more games than the Dutchman, and
has made 123 hits, to Wagner's 118. Mike is playing the best ball of
his career, and some look for him to finally beat Wagner out for the
highest honors.
As a run-getter, in the American, “Germany" Schaefer is the candy
kid. He has crossed the pan 70 times. His team-mate Mclntyre Is
second, with 09 trips to the pan.
Wagner leads the National run-getters, with 07 to his credit, and
Tenny, of the New York Nationals, is second, with 03.
The following are the official averages of the .300 hitters In both
leagues, the pitchers who have an average of .700 or better, then ten
leading base stealers, and the team averages. All of these figures takes

PRIZE Rll ROPE
(By Jeff Thompson.)
NEW YORK, Ketohel is casting
sheep eyes al Tommy Burns, and when
Hint, able and efficient young Franco-
Canadian-American knight of the mitt
reaches home, the cowboy pugilist
may have a word to say to him in
regard to the championship. The all
conquering Stanley is growing and
will hardly be able to make the mid
dle-weight limit for many fights after
his go with Papke in Los Angeles on
Labor Day.
Ketohel and Joe Thomas play a re
turn engagement In Frisco Tnesday
night. On the dope the cowboy should
win the battle before the limit, un
less ho saves himself for the Ketohel
go.
The friends of Sam Langford are
beginning to make as much of a nlu
sance of themselves as the boosters
of that other eminent off-color pugil
ist, Jack Johnson. Every time Lang
ford puts out a second or third-rate
white man, the howl goes up that
Igmgford Is the greatest scrapper that
ever happened, and the only reason
Jeffries, Burns, Ketohel and Papke
don't fight him Is that they are afraid
to death of him.
Here is how one of these devotees
wrote recently; “ft they put a mil
lion dollars In gold outside of the
ring and said to Bam Langford, 'Hern,
Sam, all that money Is yours If you
can beat these men tonight,' how long
do you think It would take Sum to
llek Kotehel, Papke and Uurna, one
after the other?”
No man living could whip Kotehel,
Papke and Burns the same night
Langford might whip Papke, though
this is by no means sure. He couldn’t
whip either of the others.
Langford la a good, clever fighter
with a hard punch. He is to my mind
as good aa Johnson, perhaps a little
better. Both of these men claim to
be anxious to eat. up a few white
eliampiona as a sort of appetiser. Why
do they not get together and fight It
out? One of them would then be a
real champion He would have the
right to call himself colored heavy
weight champion of the world, until
Joe Jeannette, jack Blackburn nr
some other husky black took it away
from him.
Some shrewd observer has offered
the suggestion that the United States
navy will probably furnish the future
pugilistic champions. Why not? Here
are some scores of thousands of
strong, healthy young fellows who
have to go through a rigid physical
examination before they can don the
blue jacket and spring bottom trou*
era They are compelled to lead a
clean, healthy, active life, which tends
to develop brawn and supple mus
cles, and they are encouraged to fight
Nowhere are conditions more favors
ble for the development of high class
pugilistic ability. That pugilists of the
first class should come from the navy
would seem inevitable.
Therefore, this news item from
Vallejo, Gal., is of Interest to fighl
followers and promoters:

Macon broke a season's record last week Two games from the
Scouts in a single series. Up to lids series Macon had failed lo connect
with a single game played with the Scouts In Macon. They did fairly
well In Jacksonville, taking one or two, but when It came to playing
them in Macon there was nothing doing.
The Giants and Pirates both came off victorious in Saturday’s Na
tional League games. Two gam-'s difference still remains between the two
leading clubs. From the looks of things it means that the rluh which
makes the best spurt during the last week of play will cop Ihe rag.
The fact that Detroit has bought Ed Lailtte, the star Tech twlrler of
a year ago, will be road with pleasure by Ills many friends In Georgia.
Lailtte, with the exception of Sullivan, of Georgia, was the host college
Iwirlei- turned out from the South since Weldon Henley brought Ihe Tech
team from a nonentty In the college sporting world to its present post
lion, ling la'' Jenning turned loose a fancy price for Ihe Georgian, so
there seems little chance of his failing to make good in big league hall.
Moran, who had surh a varied career In Saturday's game, playing
about half the positions on the Savannah team, will finish the season
with Peary Lipe's Richmond club In Ihe Virginia League. Nashville, it
is reported, made an offer for the versatile one, but Llpe out bid Bern
hard!.
Tin' Savannah hunch will have a number of changes next year. Hixon
and Richer have already been sold, and Manager Morris states that he
sides Moran, lie will lose Hoff and Howard. The remainder of the hunrh
will probably don tho Holt uniform ill Ihe beginning of the next season.
Morris, himself, al the end of the Sail' season, will (ravel out to his
