TITLE BSITLE
Ry Ed. Curly.
NEW YORK. June 7. —While
Jack Johnson and Jim
Flynn are getting ready to
'Tn battle on the Fourth at Las Ve
gas. N. M.. the natives are becom
ing-insistent that the referee shall
be a resident of that town. The
man that is being strenuously
shoved to the front as the proper
individual to do the counting, if
such should he necessary, is Mark
Levy, the leading sporting author
ity in New Mexico.
The demand is so strong for
Levy that Jack Curley, the pro
moter of the tight, is going to sug
gest his name to Johnson and
Flynn. Curley intends to do some
urging for thr selection of Levy.
He feels that a local man in the
ring would be a big attraction, and
add a few kopeks to the gate re
ceipts.
For, despite the fact that the
world’s championship is in the bal
ance. the box office will play a very
prominent pa"l. 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 tn 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 he 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
fouglit 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 war to tight, men I'm going to
teach Brown all the rough tactics ;
imaginable."
FATHER GAVE FREE BEER
WHEN SON FANNED BATTER!
WASHINGTON June 7. A riot was
nearly caused on Pennsylvania ave
nue, in the heart of the city, as a re
sult of the pride displayed by a saloon
keepei in the pitching of his son.
Joe Engle. young ball player, who
was discover! d b.\ Manage) Griffith, of
the Nationals pitched for his team
agaanst the Browns at St. Louis re
cently. Ait ele-. iric- << oreboard, show
» ing .the .progress of the game, is sus
pended from a no -pi tw office next*
door to the saloon run by Engle’s fath - '
er. The'latter announced to the crowd
that he would srnv fire beers every
time his son < ant ed a St. Louis player
. to. strike out. Ever., lime a St. Louis
batter, struck out the. police thriatened
to turn in’a riot call.
The saloonkeeper finally sent a tele
gram to his son, asking him to please
stop pitching. When the scoreboard
. announced that young Engl< bad "gon
wild" and had been taken out in the
seventh inning, Pennsylvania avenue ,
I'esu’med its normal appearance. :
SHAKE-UP FOR INFIELD:

What it is, nobody knows
Earl Sykes may possibly go to Mont

few days ago. but Sykes has done so

Call to Ministry Not Call to Physical Decrepitude
THE APPEAL OF ATHLETICS TO A MINISTER
f’T'vHE accompanying article. "The Appeal of Athletics to a Minister," Is the third of a series written exclusive-
| l.v 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," end created wide comment, both among
amateur and professional athletes.
By Fred ('. Thomson.
T T T HAT I am to say today
V\/ 1:10 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 Hie ministry
as a life work be drawn into ath-

letics. That would hardly be rea
sonable. But what I do definitely
mean 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 from well
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. Stew art, of New Orleans, the
present champion, met F. G. Byrd,
of Atlanta.
The pairings in the other flights
w ere:
First Flight—Schwartz and Wea
ver; Davidson and Bowden.
Second Flight—Stahlman and
Knight: Watts and Post.
Third Flight—Probasco and
Stokes; Martin and De wees.
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 a
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 in
the finals are former or present
champions, and one—Nelson 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

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 In 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 an example I will ac-
ship flight. One of the men In this
division is Albert Schwartz, the
first Southern champion. Another
is Whitney'Bouden, a 17-yeai -old
player from the Country club of
New Orleans, who has played sen
sational golf in the tournament.

noon’s matches follow.
