PAGE EIGHT Attractive Boxing Card Slated for Tuesday BATCHELOR MEETS JORNGON I MAIN FIGHT TOMORROW Season's Best Fights to Be Held At Promoter Frank's New Arena. By F. M. WILLIAMS Another great boxing card has been arranged for tomorrow night by Promoter Clarence Franks with Graham Batchelor making his prfoessional fighting debut against “Bull” Johnson of Atlanta, in the main go. The firat prelim inary is scheduled to get under way at 8:30, in the Athens arena on the corner of Foundry and Oconee streets. Admission will be same as usual, 26 and 40 cents. This week’s card is by far the most promising one to be held this year, with all the good fight ers in this section booked for ac tion. Promoter Franks has three bouts scheduled that could easily have been the main go, but elect ed to give the fans a real treat for their money at one time. While Batchelor and Johnson will be the main attractions, much interest is being taken in two other eight-round affairs. “Buster” Wages will battle Hoke Edmund son in one, and the ever-popular colored favorite. “Slugger” White will mix it with K. O. Pint in another. Wages, who is one of the clev erest ringmen in this section, wlll{ find his hands full with Edmund son, , who made a very favofble impression in the only bout ho‘ has had here. Edmundson is a typical slugger, and will wade In| to any of the boxers, just to land one good punch. He is from Good Hope, Ga., and has not lost a fight since entering the ring. - White, who has not lost a fight as yet, had plenty of trouble find-“ ing an opponent for this week's card, but unexpectedly K. O. Pint turned up, and offered to get in‘ there with him. Pint is one of the best colored fighters in the South, having established a record in Florida that does him plenty of' credit. He is a “knockout kinx."‘ and hopes to finish Whités in less than the scheduled eight rounds. Batchelor vs. Johnson Batchelor, who will get his di ploma from the University of Georgia tonight, will find his op ponent, Johnson, is one of the smartest heavyweights in the game, and will have trouble with him, - The former Georgia football, boxing, and track star, however, will be in the ring to make 3 successful start, and Mr. Johnson may find “the will to win” too strong in the ex-collegian, and wing up on the canvas. Johnson is wise to every trick in the ring, but will ind the Geor gia boy too intelligent to fall into any trap, and the fight should wind up with all kinds of plain and fancy slugging taking place. Batchelor will be out to “kill” his opponent. A cup fight, which is something new to local fans, and two four round preliminaries will open the attrective card. Puck Chastain will meet Young Dempsey in one of these four-rounders, hut the % two fighters have ngt been theduled yet. The cup fight will be between five Negro boys. ee s ‘ - - /7\’3 . | s | B 1 ) NS ! ) 9 .1-_&3‘.,‘,' = ”:{" H R BRI Ao STttt ol s By The Associated Press Yesterday's stars: Frank Frisch, Cardinals—Played 2,000 th major league game, facing Pirates.

(Associated Press Sports Writer.) !, If close pennant races mean ‘money in the pocket for baseball ;maxnatea, prosperity must be ‘right at hand instead of just around the corner for several owners of big league clubs. The standings in both major circuits today showed the keenest competition for the top places the season has produced so far with three clubs in a virtual tie for the National league lead and an other trio grouped in the space of a single game at the American league apex, It took three of yesterday's four games to bring the National lea gue tangle into its present status. Pittsburgh’s Pirates knocked off the league-leading St. Louis Car dinals, 4 to 2, and Helnie Meine and Walite Hoyt pitched shutout ball except for Pepper Martin’s home run in the seventh. That left the Cards only a few percent age points in front of New. York and Chicago, who once again went into a tie. The Phillies, led out of their seven-game slump by Irvine Jef fries, turned back the Giants, 6 to 2, while the Cubs pounded out a 7 to 1 triumph over Cincinnati. Jeffries walloped two homers in back up some expert elbowing by Curt Davis. The A Cubs piled up 15 blows, lincluding Gabby Hart nett’s eleventh circuit swat of the year. !
