LEFTY RUSSELL WILLBESENTTO itlin™ 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 RACING ENTRIES AT LOUISVILLE.

Big 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 fielders were on the scrubs this 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.

VOLS GAN NOT PLAY AT HOME, 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 IS COMING TO AMERICA BOSTON, May 27.—G.

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- THE BASEBALL CARD. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Todav. Birmingham in Atlanta, Ponce DeLeon; game called at 3:30 o'clock.

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. PENNSY PICKED TCMJEAf CORNELL NEXT SATURDAY PHILADELPHIA.
