leading teams have been able to
get more bases in toernt years
than they used to before the im
portance of stealing was really rec

The Giants, of course, made the
thing p.*rti<ularlv popular by their
great work orr the bases last year,
which did so much toward giving
them the National league cham

Record of Kelly Is Faked by
Gate City Club Press Agents
Bv W. S. Farnsworth.
ONCE again the Gate City Is
trying to bunk the fight fans
of Atlanta. Erank Whitney'
is scheduled to meet Leo Kelly,
there tonight/ Whitney is a top
notcher. while Kelly is a third
rater. or. at least, that ts what they
think of him out in St. Louis.
Never having heard of
the writer last night wired Harry
Neily, sporting editor of The St.
Louis Times, asking what the
Mount City fans think of Kelly, for
It is in that city on the banks
of the Mississippi that he has done
all of his fighting.
Here is Nelly's reply:
St. Louis, Mo., June 24. 1912.
W. S. Farnsworth,
The Georgian.
Atlanta, Ga.
Leo Kelly never beat anybody
of importance; nice boy personally;
clean boxer, but without a wallop.
Slipping you bunk in stating he
beat Trendall. Trendall gave him
terrific lacing in eight rounds a
few months back. Trendall beat
Kelly with one hand tied, Kelly's
most important matches—two de
cisions over Harry Donahue, Peo
ria. III.; draw. Kid Farms'; knocked
out Adolph Eaton; lost foul, Eaton;
beat Kid Graves. Cleveland, ten
rounds. Kelly will beat a thjrd
hater, but nobody of any class.
HARRY NEILY.

the fact that Trendall
handed Kelly a walloping, the
Gate City club's press agents have
been printing stories that Kelly de
feated Trendall. They have been
telling about Kelly's terrible wal
lop and according to Neily, ona of
the best fight experts in the mid
dle West. Kelly can't break an elec
tric bulb.

But. Jvnow ing that the Gate City
club is on Its last legs ho intends
to see to It that his guarantee is
posted in the hands of a reputable
person.
And this money must be posted
before Whitney climbs into the
ring. He doesn't want to disap
point the fans at the last minute
by refusing to box. So we wish
to announce that chances are even
that he will not perform this even
ing.
Frank, realizing that Kelly is no

as though he put one over on the
Gate City club.

only the money is there.
