IFJFTY RUSSBUL, the man
who cost Connie Mack J12,-
000. a grood thousajid round
iron mon more than Mnrqnard
brought and the record price up to
the time of the O’Toole deal, will
probably join the Atlanta team
within a few days. Connie Mack
has promised the man to Manager
Hemphill and will soon be able to
deliver. All that stands in the way
now is a mere matter of waivers.
Russell ought to he a real won
der with the Crackers. He is a typ
ical wild southpaw, but he '’has
more” than perhaps any other
pitcher in baseball. Connie Mack
has no notion of turning him loose,
but he believes that a season of
coaching under Hemphill will
steady him down. He put the
thing up to “Hemp." and the local
manager agreed to tal?e him and
work with him.
Mack got Russell from Baltimore.
In a recent magazine article Mack
apologized for paying as much as
he did for the man. but said that
he saw him pitch two such marvel
lous games that he couldn't resist
the temptation.

Georgia Should Have Corking
Baseball Outfit Next Year
ATHENS, GA., May 27.—Geor
gia’s prospects in the base
ball line for next season look
from this distance to be even
brighter than they were at the be
ginning of this past season. Only
two of this year’s veterans will
probably be missing, and while
they will be missed, their places
ought to be filled acceptably.
Captain "Kid" Brannen has
played his four years and grad
uates from the university this year.
He will be greatly missed, as it
has been a long time since Georgia
has had a better captain than Bran
nen Naturally a pitcher, he filled
in very acceptably at second this
year, and could have played any
other place with almost equal ease.
He was in the game every minute,
and was alwajrs encouraging his
men One of the best Pinch hit
ters In the business, he was one of
the most popular men with the
fans, and everybody hates to give
the little captain up.
Carl Thompson Is the rfther man
who will be missing, and the big
hurler will cause quite a gap In the
twirling corps. He has pitched
good, steady, consistent ball all
three years here, and hfs place will
be hard to fill. He has already
gone to Join Harry Wolverton's
New York Yankees.
But Georgia will be very strong
in the box next year, despite the
loss of Brannen and Thompson.
Big Beddingfleld, the dark horse of
the Tech se.rles. will be back, and
he should make one of the best
pitchers In the South next year.
John Morris, who last vear starred
in the box for Dahlonega, will be
eligible next year, and he Is some
pitcher. Then, too. there Is a re
port going around that big Hugh

on the scrubs this year, and looks
to haVe the makings of a first

Hutchens has only played two
years, and will be back on first,
he having been elected alternate
captain. “Bubbles” Covington
graduates this year, but he has
only played one year and may come
back to take law. Several good in

year, among them being the two
Coopers Autrey, Gillis, Dickson,
Riley and others
In the outfield Bob McWhorter,
who has been elected captain.
Rucker Ginn. Twitty and Peacock
will all return, and here, too. will
be found several good men from
the scrubs. Hitcheock, substitute
outfielder the first of the year, will
also be back in harness.
Coach Anderson will hardly be
back next year, and from present
Indications it looks as if Coach
Cunningham, of football fame will
have complete charge, with some
good, all-round athlete to help him.
He turned out quite a good scrub
team this year, and is very popu
lar with everybody.
Two men who will be missed
next year are Manager Walton and
Physical Director Sanford. Pro

FINALDEGREE
Nashville, tenn.. May 27.
Although Attorney General
Anderson had attached his
signature to an agreed decree that
would have vacated the receiver
ship of the Nashville baseball club
and modify the former decree of
Chancellor Allison so as to permit
the club to play week-day games
only. Chancellor Allison this morn
ing overruled the application for
the modified order in the case and
instead put down a decree that
more fully defined the position of
the court in holding that the club
had forfeited al! of its rights, pow
ers and privileges in playing Sun
day ball in Nashville
Immediately following the action
of the court, the baseball associa
tion directors held a hurried con
sultation and placed themselves in
the hands of President Kavanaugh
communicating with that official
and informing him that the club
was still outlawed by the chancel
lor.
it was thought that a new char
ter w ould be applied for to operate
under a different organization, but
pending the action of the president
of the Southern league, no further
steps will be
the franchise will go to Little
Rock.
Both New Orleans and Nashville
are here ready for the series sched
uled beginning with today, but in
view of the deal handed out by
Chancellor Allison, no preparations
are being made for the games.
President Kavanaugh, following
the decision of Chancellor Allison
in the baseball club case this morn
ing. wired Dan E. MeGugin, attor
ney. politician and Vanderbilt foot
ball coach, to take over the club,
and MeGugin will qirobably do this
by consent of the court.
Kavanaugh acted, he says, to pre
vent other cities from buying the
franchise.
If MeGugin gets the court's con
sent, he will continue the sched
ule, without Sunday playing.
Robinson and Perry
Break Training Camp
Today; Both Are Fit
Jimmy Perry and Jack Robinson will
wind up their training today and take
a day of rest tomorrow in order to be
in the best of condition for tomorrow's
scrap at the Gate City Athletic club.
Both boys have trained hard for this
bout and should enter the ring in the
best condition of their career.
Perry, who has been somewhat
handicapped in his Atlanta fights with
a bad back, says the lameness has all
left him and that he \M as never in bet
ter condition. Both boxers are anxious
for a victory in this fight, as it means
many good bouts in the East for the
winner.
Eddie Hanlon and Young Kid Sey
mour will make up the semi-windup,
while Spider Britt tint! Johnnie Hern
don will mix it in the preliminary. The
curtainraiser will be a baitle royal be
tween five coons.
ONE-ARMED GOLF PLAYER

BOSTON, May 27.—G. Herbert Win

Country club, has returned from abroad.
In France he played golf with some of
the best playerr. including Yuet. a one

one-armed golfer is a wonder. He has
been playing the game seven years,
taking it up after he had lost his arm in
a thrashing machine while he was a

Ad Wolgast Made Mistake in
Getting Into Harness Too Soon
By W. W? Naughton.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.—A1l
that Willie Ritchie, the San
Francisco lightweight pos
sesses in the way of prestige is due,
directly or indirectly, to Champion
Ad Wolgast. It was through Wol
gast being taken down with appen
dicitis that Ritchie was sent for in
a hurry to box Freddie Welsh at
Los Angeles. Prior to that time
Willie was a plain, ordinary four
round specialist at the Friday night
shows in this city.
As Wc.lgast’s understudy, he per
formed so well against Welsh that
his star began to ascend. He went
East and commanded matches. He
did so well that he came to be
looked upon as a good, serviceable
lightweight.
There is scarcely any' need to re
call how Ritchie acquitted himself
in his recent short bout with Wol
gast. He did so extremely well
that those who witnessed the bout
considered Wolgast a lucky boy to
escape with his laurels intact.
When anything sensational like
that occurs, people at a distance are
inclined to give full weight to the
glowing accounts that emanate
from the seat of the disturbance.
Allowance is made, for a very com
mon humin error, namely, a ten
dency to exaggerate the merits of
the under dog. In a fight crowd
particularly the hope of witness
ing the unexpected sways the emo
tions, and to attach wrong values
is akin to traveling the lines of
least resistance.
In this particular instance, how
ever, the fact remains that a cham-

pion of the world had a remark
ably close call.
The thing to be avoided is the
making of a wrong analysis of
Wolgast's showing—that is, so far
as it appears to indicate or sug
gest a permanent loss of fighting
strength or talent. Wolgast was
evidently distres.-ed after a seem
ingly light bumping match with
Ritchie, so much so that the
chances are his work during the re
mainder of the bout was influenced.
Wolgast said that the wrench re
vived an old injury to his back,
sustained in a contest some years
ago.
A great many when they heard
this murmured "that's all fiddle
sticks!” The operation he under
went has left a weak spot and
that Is why he hurt .himself w hen
he slid up on Ritchie’s shoulders.
A year ago he would not have
minded a little bump like that.
His ruggedness is impaired and his
championship days are over.
Ad still insists, however, that it
was his back that was twisted, and
says there was nothing at any stage
of the contest to remind him that
he had ever been knifed for appen
dicitis.
It may be as he says, and in any
case there is no harm in waiting
for further HgM on the subject. If
it was merely a twist of the back
that Wolgast suffered from, he
would soon be in harness again.
If it was some physical flaw trace
able to the operation, we pan ex
pect to hear of some of his ring
contracts being canceled.
Whatever it was, it must be said
that Wolgast was ill-advised in
getting back into harness so soon.
