him. The line-up of the rest of the
Atlanta team will remain as on

Manager Hemphill is enthusias

* PPARENTLY the coming tour
<* nament in Chattanooga should
be a trifle more open than any that
was ever played before in the
South. Picking the winner would
take a clairvoyant, with the chances
bad enough, even then. Probably
tile champions of 1909. 1910 and
1911 will all be there to compete.
But Bill Stewart was a chance
champion at best, F. G. Byrd is not
playing as much as he did when he
copped tlie title, nor Jack Edring
ton as well. If Nelson Whitney
plays, which is doubtful, his golf
isn't wliat it used to be. Leigh Car
roll won tlie recent invitation tour
nament in Birmingham, but he is
never better than a mighty reliable
performer. Andrew Manson is vir
tually out. A. W. Gaines is a
steady golfer, but nothing more.
And Albert Schwartz is out of
tournament golf. There are twenty
or thirty golfers in tlie South who
.ire good enough right today to hold
their own with the champions of
tlie |»ast. Therefore, the coming
event looks like big doings.
thing It takes to make a grand
ball player w hen he hits his stride.
He may, or he may not hit his
stride, but lie's got in hfm al) the
natural ability a ball player could
have.”
It was Manager Hemphill's in
tention to pitch Johns yesterday,
but when the team reached here
Johns had to lie 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 this afternoon's game. Man
ager Dobbs announced Aitchison
and Gribbens as his battery for to
day. utherwise the line-up of the
home club w ill be unchanged.
Yesterday's game was "ail At
lanta." If there was anything else
to it nobody here could detect It
with the naked eye, and none of
them brought telescopes.
Yet the strange part of it was
i that the locals outhit the visitors,
10 to 7, and the total bases made by
j the Rillikens was 17 against 8 for
the Crackers.
The whole secret was that the
Cracker lilts were timely and the
Billiken errors untimely (for the
Bills).
Veddei Sitton, who pitched a
poor game his last out, was hit
pretty briskly this time, but was
never in real danger. He tightened
up when things looked squally and
I showed his real class by striking
I out eight men. Several of the
strike-outs came in the pinches.
Dave Callahan reported to the
Crackers yesterday and was put
right in tin? game at eenter 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, ns the Crackers got away
with the first game under this ar
angement. it Is likeli to stick for
■i w hili, for hardly a manager lives
i who isn't superstitious about
• hanging a winning batting order.

COTTON STATES TENNIS
TOURNEY JS^ CALLED OFF
The Cotton States tennis champion
ship. which was to have been played at
Montgomery, Ala., beginning Monday,
seems to have been called off. J. K.
Orr, Jr., and E. V. Carter, Jr., of At
lanta. had. planned to go down, but
when they wired for Information they
were told that the event would not be
held.
The next Southern tourneys, there
fore. will be the Gulf States at New
Orleans and the Virginia State at Rich
mond, both of which start June 10. At
present it appears likely that Atlanta
will send no players to New Orleans,
but Dr. Nat Thornton and Forest Adair,
Jr., will go to Richmond.
The South Atlantic tournament at
Augusta will be held before the South
ern championship this year, instead of
after it. as has been the ease in years
past. A big delegation of Atlantans
will go to that, as usual. Among those
who will probably play at Augusta are
Dr. Nat Thornton, J. K. Orr, Jr., E. V.
Carter. Jr., Forest Adair. Jr., Carl
Ramspeck, Winship Nunnally and A.
Clarke.

ANOTHER U. S. LEAGUE
BURG HAS FLOUNDERED
READING. PA., June I.—The last
United States league baseball game has
been played in this city. Cincinnati
is scheduled to play here today, but
Hugh McKinnon, the Cincinnati man
ager. was disappointed with the small
attendance of Memorial day and will
take his team home. It is claimed that
the circuit will be rearranged and that
only Western cities will be in the or
ganization. Indianapolis, it is reported,
will get the Reading franchise.
BARONS WILL PLAY TO
MUSIC OF BRASS BAND
BIRMINGHAM. ALA., June I.—The
local baseball club will be only one in
the United States which will gambol
every afternoon to the martial music
of a brass band.
"Tides have been turned on battle
fields." says Woodward, "by music.
They might be turned also on dia
monds. At any rate, we are going to
bolster our strength with a band.”
Music will draw the crowds, too, he
figures. He is after the pennant.
Money is not considered.

John Wille Will Have to Trave, Some at Gate City Club Tuesday Night
ROSS HAD KAUFMAN OUT, BUT ROPES SAVED AL
By W. S. Farnsworth.
THERE 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 the best scraps Ross ever
put up was against Al Kaufman
at the Fairmont A. C.. in New York,
a few years ago. At that time
Kaufman was the ibgical candidate
for a crack at Jack Johnson.
For four 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, he
threw his 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.
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, be rushed in close and
Kaufman clinched for his young
life. He managed to hang on until
once again he was steady.
« • •

ing Kaufman at the time. "Un
cle Billy," the man who steered
Jim Corbett to a title and a few
years later did likewise with Jim
Jeffries, was in Big Al's corner the
C C C CURES
0.0.0. 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 out 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.

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 proved that Ross
packs a kick that, once it lands, is
sure to bring forth results. Wheth
er he will be able to put it over on
the shrewd and clever ring general,
Wille, is a question.
But at any rate Tuesday night s
mill should satisfy the appetite of
the 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
good exhibition. The boxing he dis
played wag 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-headed 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 wheels 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
his 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 the top-notchers.
So let us have another Perry-
Robinson bout, and the soonet the
better.

nounced from the ring the other
night that the newspapers should
"knock” the fighters who fail to

these men to a fare-thee-well, 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
