June 1 After praying for years for a baby. Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Shuttleworth, of tills city, found an abandoned infan on their front porch FTTF ATT A -r ‘ r- k VT' SATURDAY, JUNE 1. 1912. 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.

Williams, manager. I 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. ♦ ♦ ♦ p EORGE BROWNFIELD an nounced from the ring the other night that the newspapers should “knock” the fighters who fail to show up. The writer has “panned” / these men to a fare-thee-w ell, and now it is up to the promoters themselves to protect the fans. And there is only one way to do this — the performers should be made to post a forfeit. 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.
