John Wille Will Have to Travel Some at Gate City Club Tuesday Night
BOSS HAD KAUFMAN OUT, BUT ROPES SAVED AL
By W. S. Farnsworih.
ryaHERE should be plenty of
; good, old-fashioned slugging
at the Gate City club next
Tuesday evening when John Wille
and Tony Ross hitch up in a ten
round mill. Here are a pair of
mixers of the old school, who know
every angle of the game and never
fail to overlook an opportunity and
an advantage.
Wille made an excellent show
ing against Big Al Kubiak here a
few weeks ago. Since that scrap
the Chicago boy has been working
conscientiously, and today is in
swell condition.
Ross is one of the toughest nuts
in the game, and has been for years.
He has fought champions and made
good against many of them, too.
One of tlie best scraps Ross ever
put up was against Al Kaufman
at the Fairmont A. in New York,
a few years ago. At that time
Kaufman was the logical candidate
for a crack at Jack Johnson.
For tour rounds Kaufman kept
beating Ross to the punch, but in
the fifth Tony unbuckled a wild
right swing that landed flush on
the Californian giant’s jaw. His
knees sagged and he started sink
ing to the canvas. Luckily, lie
threw Ills arms over the ropes and
managed to hold himself up. But,
nevertheless, he was out for the
once, and one more wallop would
have won a decisive victory for
Ross.
NEW HURLER, BRADY,
GOES ON SLAB TODAY
Ik MONTGOMERY, ALA., June 1.
IVI the new Cracker
pitcher, will make his debut
in this afternoon’s game with the
Billikens. according to the an
nouncement of Manager Hemphill
this morning Donahue, who is hit
ting like a Cobb now. will receive
him. The line-up of the rest of the
Atlanta team will remain as on
Friday. Callahan will stick at cen
ter and Hemphill play in right.
Manager Hemphill is enthusias
tic over the showing made by Cal
lahan yesterday in his first game
as a Cracker.
‘Callahan showed up fine." said
the manager today. ”1 am very well
pleased witli him. He’s got every
thing it takes to make a grand
ball player when he lilts Ills stride.
He may or be max not lilt his
stride, but lie’s got in him all the
natural ability a bail player could
have."
It was Manager Hemphill’s in
tention to pitch Johns yesterday,
but when the team reached here
Johns had to be put on the sick
list. His ailment is not serious, and
it is expected he will be in shape
to hurl tomorrow's game.
The weather early today was
clear and hot, promising to be ideal
for tills afternoon's game. Man
ager Dobbs announced Aitehison
and Gribbens as his battery for to
day. otherwise the line-up of the,
hotn< dull will bo unchanged.
Yesterday’s game was '‘all At
lanta" If there was anything else
to it nobody here could detect it
with tlie naked eye. and none of
them brought telescopes.
Yet. the strange part of it was
that tin locals outhlt the visitors,
in to 7. and the total bases marie by
I the Billikens was 17 against 8 tor
the Crackars.
The whole secret was that the
Cracker hits were timely and the
I Billiken e rors untimely (for the
Bills'
V. ride Sitton, who pitched a
' poor game his last out, was hit
But Tony’s think-tank became
muddled with excitement, and in
stead of following up his advan
tage by stepping back and measur
ing his man. he rushed in close and
Kaufman clinched for his young
life. He managed to hang on until
once again he was steady.
• * «
ILLY DELANEY was manag
ing Kaufman at the time. "Un
cle Billy,” the man who steered
Jim Corbett to a title and a few
years later did likewise witli Jint
Jeffries, was in Big Al’s corner the
night that Tony landed this wallop.
For once this ever cool and ever
collected veteran and champion
maker became excited.
“Grab him, Al! Hold him tight.
Al!” yelled Delaney, at the same
time swinging his arms like a
worthy candidate for a padded Cell.
It sure was a close* call for Kauf
man. And It prbved that Ross
packs a kick that, once it lands, is
sure to bring forth resuliA Wheth
er he will be able to put it over on
the shrew d and clever ring general,
Wille, is a question.
But at any rate Tuesday night's
mill should satisfy the appetite of
tlie most rabid fan who prefers
slugging to a scientific bout.
• • •
JACK ROBINSON deserves an
other chance here. In defeat last
Tuesday night he won glory. After
being out of the game for months,
he came back and put up a corking
pretty briskly this time, but was
never in real danger. He tightened
up when things looked squally and
showed his real class by striking
out eight men. Several of the
strike-outs came in the pinches.
Dave Callahan reported to the
Crackers yesterday and was put
right in tlie game at center field,
while Hemphill switched to right.
The local manager also put himself
second in the batting order and
dropped Callahan in at his old po
sition—third. This seemed a rather
unusual move, considering that
"Cal” Is batting way below .200.
However, as the Crackers got away
with tlie first game under this ar
rangement, it is likely’ to stick for
awhile, for hardly a manager lives
who isn’t superstitious about
changing a winning batting order.

good exhibition. The boxing he dis
played was undoubtedly the pret
tiest Atlanta fans ever witnessed.
Jack wants another chance at
Perry, and Jimmy is willing. So it
is up to Matchmaker Brownfield to
get busy and give us this same
pair right back again.
Perry says in another fight with
Robinson he would box the Windy
City lad. We have always thought
James a pretty level-beaded young
man, but If he has really got the
idea in his noodle that he can out
box Robinson, then we are forced to
admit that we fear he has lost a
tooth on one of the tvheels in his
cranium.
If Perry lives to be one hundred,
he will never see the day he can
outbox Robinson. The latter in his
palmiest days was considered the
cleverest welterweight that ever
climbed through the ropes. But he
never could hit.
At that he is one of the very few
men that ever floored Joe Wolcott
for the count. And the "Giant Kill
er” fought all the heavyweights in
ills time. Os course, the black man
was on the decline when Robinson
stopped him.
» * •
T N New York about five years ago
Robinson gave Frank Klaus a
good and proper beating, too. After
that he strayed from the straight
and narrow path, but now he is
trying to come back, and in his first
start he showed that he has a fine
chance of again being classed
among tiie top-notchers.
So let us have another Perry-
Robinson bout, and the sooner the
better.

OQ Q CURES
W.O.W.OLD SORES
If an old sore existed simply because the flesh was diseased at that
particular spot, it would be an easy matter to apply some remedy directly
to the place that would kill the germs; or the diseased flesh might be
removed by a surgical operation and a cure effected. But the very fact
that old sores resist every form of local or external treatment, and even
return after being cut away, shows that back of them is a morbid cause
which must be removed before a cure can result. Just as long as the
pollution continues in the blood, the ulcer remains an open cesspool for the
deposit of impurities which the circulation throws off. S. S. S. cures Old Sores
by purifying the blood. It removes every trace of impurity and taint from
the circulation, and thus completely does away with the cause. When
S. S. S. has cleansed the blood, the sore begins to heal, and it is not a
surface cure, but the healing process begins at the bottom; soon the dis
charge ceases, the inflammation leaves, and the place fills in with firm,
healthy flesh. Under the purifying and tonic effects of S. S. S. the system
is built up, and those whose health has been impaired by the drain and
worry of an old sore will be doubly benefited by its use. Book on Sores
and Ulcers and any medical advice free to all who write.
