The Atlanta club has been pecu liarly luckless in turning back play ers who were destined tn become stars In addition to Rucker, who became one of the game's greatest left-handers, they let go the great est right-handed pitcher of 1911, Bert Maxwell, and the greatest pitcher of the present season, Al r Demaree. They canned Bill Vle bahn. who went to the American association and did well. They passed up Berkle (or Bierkotte, or whatever his blamed name was. for he seemed uncertain about it while here), who "went higher," and they did as much for Kirkpatrick, who is also on the up-slant now.

AO'S IM ADDS KAUFMAN ID HIS STABLE By Ed AV. Smith. CHICAGO, May 30.—Hereaf ter, we are told, Ad Wol gast Is to have a stablemate. His name is Al Kaufman, twice punctured championship possibil ity Tom Jones, who handles the business of the lightweight cham pion. recently accepted the task of guiding Al back into the spot light of publicity among the big fellows Jones himself is authority for the story and announced Just be fore he went to New York re cently. that he soon would start boosting the big (Terman from the coast along toward something good in the way of purses. First Kaufman will take on some me diocre men out on the coast in four-round contests. Among them will be Soldier Elder. Miller and Horne. Kaufman hopes in this way to fight his way back Into shape and then show them some thing when he gets among the real tough ones of the class. Wolgast's manager accepted the Kaufman duties only after a long and thorough discussion with Kaufman Al represented to Jones that most of his trouble In the past was caused by a failure to train properly, a condition brought on by the overconfident state of his mind when he accepted certain matches that turned out disas trously. Kaufman has many natural qualifications to make him one of the world’s best boxers. He is big and heavy, has a certain amount of speed and skill' and best of all can punch hard and is game as a pebble. There isn’t any question of his gameness at all. He has shown it a dozen times. Twice Kaufman has been given the severest of setbacks when it looked possible for him to fight his way into a match for the real title. Once he tackled Jack O'Brien out on the Pacific coast and was cut into ribbons by the speedy Philadelphia fighter. That was one of the few mistakes that Billy Delaney made with his men. He matched Kaufman with O'Brien when the former wasn't ready for such game. Something over a year ago Kaufman made a match with Jim Flynn in Kansas City that gave him even a greater setback than the O'Brien affair Kaufman took Flynn on because the Pueblo fire man looked easy and the money of the K. ('. club looked like find ing it. Al never‘trained a serious lick for the encounter, it is said, and Flynn sprung one of the sen sations of the year by stopping Kaufman in nine rounds. Al never quite recovered from that beating and later proved rather east picking for Al Palzer in New York. So it is plain that Al has quite a lot of ground to make up before he can hope to re ceive any attention from the lead er of the class, whoever he may be. after th< July 4 affair in Las Vegas.

Nature’s Laws Must Be Held Sacred by Athletes THE VALUE OF CLEAN LIVING IN ATHLETICS FRED C. THOMSON, amateur Champion all-around athlete of the world, has written the first of a series of articles for The Georgian. describing “The Value of Clean Living in Athlet ics.” These articles should prove not alone of interest, but of utmost importance to amateur and professional athletes alike. Mr. Thomson is firm in his contention that a good athlete who has always observed the rules of clean living is a better athlete than a Erood athlete who has failed to do so. Records of many prominent figures in American athletics testify to the statement. By Fred C. Thomson. World's Champion All-Around Athlete. CLEAN living is of value in ath !eti> <. You may be able to poin to men of impure lives that are great athletes. I'll admit that. You may be able to point to men of clean lives that are poor athletes. I'll admit that. But the good athlete of impure life is good in spite of that fact and the poor athlete of pure life is poor as an athlete because of some other lim iting condition. I’ve made my ad missions. now you must make this one: All things being equal, the man of clean life will w in out over the man of loose habits Let me tell you a story. It Is a very simple tale and will take but a few words. Some time ago a hoy, ft makes no difference who he was, was signed up to enter a big contest —a contest that few men could stand. A very few days be fore the test day he arrived at the prescribed place—where it was would not influence our tale. A reasonable time before he had started in on the regular prepara tion for his contest The second day of his preparation he had been in jured. injured In such away that all preparation had to be dropped. The bov was tn despair The corn ing day’s work was heavy. The boy was hopeless in preparing for the time. But he had traveled far for the day and he was determined to see It out. A few days—a pit iable few days—before the test time he tried himself through the paces —easily, gradually. Heavy work was Impossible. He was not in shape; he knew it. In those last few days the boy and a man were thrown together They had both come a long wav and from the same direction. They were after the same prize. Rut a friendship grew up in those few hours. They were strangers together in a strange land, and they felt them selves to be kindred spirits. But they had been differently brought up—the boy so that the things that had to be dropped for strict train ing did not have to be dropped, they had never been taken up. The man when in training had to fol low a certain schedule of absti nence. for his life hid several things in it that did not make for good training. The boy preferred nothing, but the man drew from him his usual mode of life and showed no amusement at what he found only because he was too fine grained. The day came. The test began. The man was the better, the more finished athlete. He was mature. He had been through it all before. The boy was far from being a great athlete and was new at the game. The day w ore on. The man led in the events where ability counted. The race was even, with the odds all seemingly with the man. It was nearly over. But one test lay before the weary men. for there were many others in the race, though the man and the boy bad forged ahead, shoul der to shoulder, till now they could all but see the finish of the day's w ork. The day had been trying; the sultry sky; the wearing drive of flagging muscles. But it was near ly over In a few minutes it would be done and one the victor, the other beaten. Which would it be? The man led already in the after noon's work. The task still before was the test of stamina, endurance, of reaction from the strain Just past. A shot was fired! A rush inch crunch of many feet, and the tale was rapidly being told. At first a hopeless confusion of swing ing arms and driving legs Then the heavy burden of w-eary- mus cles began to tell, till the throng dwindled and became a straggling line. But the man and the boy! Yes, there they line The man was leading, the boy a stride behind, and they measured stride and stride. Arm followed arm in its swing The crunch of their feet in the cinders was as the crunch of one foot. A lap was gone Then two The man still led. The boy followed a stride behind, stride for stride. The man seemed run ning lighter. The boy was heavy’ and his weight was seeming to tell. Another shot rang out. Now was the time. Forgetting the incom plete training, the boy for the first time broke stride and swung out for the pole. The man left, too. But It was Just a lean, for the hours of pleasure hung heavy on the pounding heart.
