LAS VEGAS BN WAV REFEREE TITLE BATTLE By Ed. Curly. NEW YORK, June 7.—While Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn are getting ready to do 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 be necessary, is Mack Levy, the leading sporting author ity in New Mexico. The demand is so 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 do some urging for the 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 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 u 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. “W’hy, 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 I'm going to teach Brown all the rough tactics imaginable.” FATHER GAVE FREE BEER WHEN SON FANNED BATTER WASHINGTON, June 7.—A riot jvas nearly caused on Pennsylvania ave nue, in the heart of the city, as a re sult of the pride displayed by a saloon keeper In the pitching of his son. Joe Engle, a young ball player, who ' was discovered by Manager Griffith, of the Nationals, pitched for his team 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 by 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 call. The saloonkeeper finally sent a tele gram to his son, asking him to please stop pitching. When the scoreboard announced that young Engle had "gone wild’’ and had been taken out In the seventh inning. Pennsylvania avenue resumed its normal appearance. JOHNSON RETURNS TO TRAINING CAMP TODAY LAS VEGAS, N. M., June 7.—Jack Johnson is expected back in his train ing quarters tomorrow after a day at , Santa Fe, where he was billed to' ap pear before the members of the legisla ture. In the meantime, Jim Flynn had the field all to himself. With Johnson's camp closed, a big crowd made the eight-mile trip to Mon tezuma and saw the white heavyweight have his banner workout to date. He was in action exactly one hour and twenty minutes. He played handball, punched the bag. worked on the pul leys, shadow boxed, rapped away at his huge handbag, a new contrivance, and wound up by battling with each one of his three sparring partners. BILLINGS WILL RENEW HIS GIFT OF GOLF CUP LEXINGTON, KY„ June 7.—C. K. G. Billings, the wealthy Chicagoan whose string of great trotters is now in Rus sia, has advised President Ed A. Tipton by telegram that he will renew his gift of a gold cup for the annual trotting meeting in October. Last year the Billings cup was pre sented to Louis Neidhardt, of Jersey • City, as the owner of Charley Mitchell, * who won the fastest heat trotted at the meeting, his mile being 2:04 1-4. Presi » dent Tipton has not decided the condi tions under which the cup will be pre sented this year. JAKEY ATZ IS SECURED BY CHATTANOOGA CLUB CHATTANOOGA, TENN., June 7. Manager Billy Smith, of the Lookouts, has secured Jakey Xtz. He will re port tomorrow and play either short or third. Atz has been captaining the Provi dence team of the International league, and should prove a corking all-round infielder for the Chattanooga team. SHAKE4JP FOR INFIELD; BILLIES MAY GET SYKES The Atlanta infield is due a shake-up. What it is, nobody knows. Earl Sykes may possibly go to Mont gomery. The deal looked like a cinch a few days ago, but Sykes has done so well in recent games that he may stick. One other change is in prospect eve n after East is displaced by Coleman. ' Ball SATURDAY Atlanta vs. N. Orleans PONCE DELEON PARK Game Called 4:00 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 4n Athlete,” and created wide comment, both among amateur and professional athletes. By Fred C. Thomson. WHAT I am to say today 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- CRACKERS DOUBLE-HEADER OFF ON ACCOUNT OF RAIN Today’s baseball games between the Crackers and Pelicans were declared off on account of rain and wet grounds.

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 interests will 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 been a report of a deal to sell the franchise .after this sea son. Richard Tillis owns the fran chise. ATLANTA MOTORCYCLISTS ON LONG JOURNEY ARE O.K.

Monday 186 miles were made. On Tuesday evening they were between Martinsville and Roanoke, Va,, and had been climbing the Blue Ridge all afternoon.

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 call to the ministry Is not neces- 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 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 the losing sixteen In the champion- HERNSHEIM a drink sold in with I’wkllwW I kig, class w/ II F bottles to it ""■5 c you get it at the ball park, stands, stores Red Rock Co., Atlanta sarlly 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 gracelessnesa, 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 w'ill ac- ship flight. One of the men in this division is Albert Schwartz, the first Southern champion. Another Is Whitney Bouden, a 17-year-o!d player from the Country club of New' Orleans, who has played sen sational golf In the tournament.
