BL REFEREE
TITLEBATTLE
By Ed. Curlv.
NEW ‘YORK, June '7.—While
Jack Johnson and- -Jirft •'
Flynn are getting ready "to
do battle on the Fourth at LasWe
gas, N. M., the natives are becSn.-
ing insistent that the referee shall
be a resident of that town. Th,e
man that is being strenuously
shoved to the front as the proper
individual to do the counting, if
such should be necessary, is Mark
Levy, the leading sporting author
ity in New Mexico.
The demand is jo strong for
Levy that Jack Curley, the pro
moter of the fight, is going to sug
gest his name to Johnson and
Flynn. Curley intends to dujsome
urging for the selection of". Levy.;
He feels that a local man .in the
ring would be a big attraction, and
add i few kopeks to the gtvEe re-.
•ceipts
For, despite the fact that the
world's championship is in the bal
ance, the box office, will play a very
prominent part. As Levy’s repu
tation in the Southwest is of the
highest, there is a big probability
that he may be chosen.
Despite the fact that Leach
Cross managed to slip a few over
on Knockout Brown Monday even
ing (to the latter’s disgust and
amazement), Danny Morgan re
ceived a wire yesterday offering
Brown a battle on the coast with
Willie Ritchie, or a local man. Tom
O’Day, the San Francisco promo
ter, sent the message and said the
affair .would be twenty rounds and
take place on June 29,
Touching on the recent bout. Mr.
Morgan, to put it mildly, is great
ly incensed. “Why, the way Cross
fought Brown was something
. . shameful.. In the first round he
threw Knockout through, the ropes
and hurt his head so badly that the
kid didn’t feel good after that.
Leach back-heeled, trod on Brown's
toes, wrestled, hugged; .in fact,
everything else but bite. If that's
the way to fight, then Fm going to
teach Brown all the rough tactics
imaginable.”
FATHER GAVE FREE BEER
WHEN SON FANNED BATTER
Washington. June —a riot was
near!}- caused on Pennsylvania ave
nue, in the heart of the city, as a re
sult. of the pride displayed by a saloon
keeper in tlie pitching of his son.

against. the. Browns-, at St. Louis re
cently. An electric scoreboard, show
ing the 'progress of the game, is sus
pended from a newspaper’ office next
door to the saloon run fry Engle’s fath
er. The latter announced to the crowd,
that he would serve free beers every
time his son caused, a St. Louis player
to strike out. Every time a St. Louis
batter struck out the police 'threatened
to turn in a riot cafi. ■ - .

gram to his son, asking .him. to please

With' Johnson's camp closed, a. big
crowd made the eight-mile trip to Mon--

leys. shadow boxed, rapped away at his
huge handbag, a new contrivance, and
wound up by battling with each one of
his three sp.n ring partners.

BILLIES MAY GET SYKES
The Atlanta infield is due a shake-up.
What it is. nobody knows.

well in recent games that he may stick.
One other change is in prospect ev.-n

Call to Ministry Not Call to Physical Decrepitude
THE APPEAL OF ATHLETICS TO A MINISTER
THE accompanying article, “The Appeal of Athletics to a Minister,” is the third of a series written exclusive
ly for The Georgian by Fred C. Thomson, champion, all-around athlete of the world. The two preceding ar
ticles were on the subject, “The Value of Clean Living to an Athlete," and created.wide comment, both among
amateur and professional athletes.
By Fred C. Thomson.
TYTHAT I am to say today
W will be somewhat byway. of
• a vindication of the fact of
not only my continued interest in
athletics, but my continued activ
ity. after the beginning of definite
preparation for the ministry.
The first and most natural ques
tion that this subject brings up is:
“Is there such an appeal?” I should
answer very definitely, “Yes.” Now,
of course, I do not say that a boy
who all his life had been an anaem
ic invalid and to .whom all athlet
ics or any physical activity was of
definite discomfort, .would, by the
very fact of choosing the, ministry ,
as a life work be drawn into ath-

MONTGOMERY* WIIFnoT '
GIVE UP ITS FRANCHISE
MONTGOMERY . ALA., June 7.—The
Southern league baseball franchise will
not leave Montgomery. The business
men of Montgomery have determined
that the franchise shall remain here at
all hazards. At a meeting of the lead
ing business men just held, it was de
cided to use every effort to prevent any
disposal of. the franchise, and it was
determined to extend financial aid, if
necessary, to retain the .berth in the
Southern league.
It was recognized that Southern
league baseball is one of the biggest ad
vertisements for the city, and the bus
iness interestswill not part with it.
Although there were numerous rumors
early in the season of a disposal of the.
franchise, lately it appears that the
movement quieted down, at least for
this year. There has bben a report of a
deal to sell the franchise after this sea
son. Richard Tillis owns the fran
chise,

letics. That would hardly be rea
sonable. But what I do definitely
moan is this: The boy who had
always been of normal physical
vigor and whose blood was in the
habit of moving swiftly enough to
keep warm, after he had chosen
the ministry as his life work,
would not by that very fact have
to give up all the pleasure and good
which could come to him fromwell
trained muscles in full play, from
sound lungs filled deep and from a
strong heart that joys in sending
great streams of blood coursing on
their way. There is another way
to tell the same story. It is . this:
Contrary to popular opinion, the

Byrd Plays Champion Stewart
In Semi-Finals at Chattanooga
CHATTANOOGA. TENN., June
7. —Semi-final play in all
flights in the eleventh annual
tournament of the Southern Golf
association was begun at the course •
of the Chattanooga Golf and
Country club this morning.
In the championship flight N. M.
Whitney, -of New Orleans, played
J. E. England, of Little Rock, while
W. P. Stewart, of New Orleans, the
present champion, met F. G. Byrd,
of Atlanta.
The pairings in the other flights
were:
First Flight—Schwartz and Wea
ver; Davidson and Bowden.
Second Flight—Stahlman and
Knight: Watts and Post.
Third Flight—Probasco . and
Stokes; Martin and Dewees.
Fourth Flight—Morgan and Mon
tague; R. G. Watkins and Baxter.
Fifth Flight ■ — Richards and.
Wright; Simmons and Foust.
F. G. Byrd, of Atlanta, is now e
strong favorite. The 1910 cham
pion has shown a steady and con
sistent improvement in form since
his poor play in the qualifying
flight, and unless a reversal over
takes him will undoubtedly cop the
gonfalon for the Cracker capital.
His play has been the most con
sistent on the local course through
out the tournament.
In yesterday's play Byrd defeat
ed two strong golfers. In the morn
ing he took J. A. Selden, of Macon;
into camp, handily. In the after
noon he met the Birmingham vet
eran, Bob Baugh, and trimmed him,
2-1.
The matches today should be for
blood. Three.of the four men th
the finals are .former .or present
champions, and one--N.elson Whit
ney—has -won two championships.
England, of Little Rock, is the only
unknown in the select four.
There is also a lot of class to the
first flight, which is made up of
the losing sixteen,in the cha.rnplon-

sarily a call to physical decrepi
tude. Contrary to popular opinion,
to live the life of an athlete is not
necessarily to live a life of physical
gracelessness, of moral decadence ,
or of spiritual suicide. The two
are not actually exclusive. You may
choose either and still hold to the
other. More than that, the one
makes for better work in the oth
er. Rather than that the choosing
of one of these activities means
the final repudiation of the other,
they go better hand .n hand. You
may be able to point out to me
men that are great preachers, that
can neither ride, swim, shoot and
that never had a track shoe on in
their lives. But whatever man you
pick out as ah example I .will ac-

show you one who. had he a clean
heart and a deep soul, would be a
greater athlete and an incompara

The mark of the man is not
whether he. is an athlete or a min-

he is or what kind of a minister.
And that is determined by his aim,
his philosophy of life, if you please.
