11. 5. HAS FAST
WATER TEAM IN
OLYMPIC MEET
“Bud” Goodwin, of the New York
Athletic club, winner of more na
tional aquatic championships than any
swimmer now in active competition,
and a man well qualified to judge of
the chances of the American water
men in the Olympic events, for he is
a veteran of two Olympiads, is of the
opinion that the hoys who are now
on their way to Sweden will take their
full shore of honors at the coming in
ternational meet. Following are
Goodwin’s views of how American
watermen should fare in the games:
By “Bud” Goodwin.
IT may be that I hold too optimistic
a view of the situation, but I am
frank to confess that I don't see
why Americans shouldn't gather in as
many points in the Olympic swimming'
events as England. Germany and Aus
tralia, whose squads are reputed to be
the strongest.
England lacks sprinters and fancy
divers of championship caliber; Aus
tralia has only four men to take care
of nine events and not a diver, a breast
stroke or back stroke swimmer among
them; and Germany is noticeably defi
cient in the two middle distances, so
that any weak spots on our team will
be counterbalanced by those of others.
Big Array of Talent.
For the 100-meter sprint we have
Duke Kahanamoku. of Honolulu; Har
ry Hebner and Perry McGillivray, of
the Illinois A. and Kenneth Huz
zagh, of the Chicago A. A. No more
than four foreigners are in their class—
William Longworth, Harold Hardwick
•and Cecil Healy, of Australia, and. C.
Bretting, of Germany.
As to Bretting, he is undoubtedly
fast, but his best 100-meter outdoor per.
formance, in 1 minute 5 seconds, does
not look unbeatable. <>n the other hand,
while every one seemed rabidly skep
tical last August of Kahanamoku's
straightaway "century" in 55 2-5 sec
onds, look what he did to our best
sprinters during the indoor season in
spite of climatic changes and total un
familiarity with pool swimming.
Longworth in Short Races.
Longworth, the favorite, is booked to
take part in the 100. 490 and 1,500-
meter swims, as well as in the relay
race, with several heats thrown in for
good measure. If he can train so as to
be at his best for every event, and do
himself justice in so many races, he’ll
accomplish what no other man has done
before.
The meter prospects, are not
nearly so bright, but after hearing
frcyn < oacl> Kistler that he has been
■working Kahanamoku over half-mile
courses, and. seeing the dusky islander
beat our best .furlong men by some ten
yards in the relay tryout (the length of
which was. nearly 225 yards, by the
way). I'm beginning to think that mat
ters are decidedly not as hopeless as
they’ve been painted. It would not sur
prise me a bit to see that boy upset
calculations, even though Jim Reilly
and Nick Nerich should figure.
Condition Tells in 1,500 Meters.
At 1,500 meters much will depend on
Reilly's condition. If he is as fit as
when he created the American stand
ard of 25 minutes 40 seconds for one
mile, last August, he should be in the
running.
The SOO-meter. relay race will un
doubtedly be won by the Australians
unless they suffer an awful slump, for
| on paper they are quite twenty seconds
I faster than any other team in the field,
f I expect the fight between England.
I Germany, Hungary and the United
I States to be very close, with odds
I evenly divided, but I'm a lot more con-
| fident of America landing in the awards
| since seeing the great work done by
1 Kahanamoku and Huzzagh in Verona
I lake

H I place great faith,ln Harry Hebner.
H Aside from holding the world’s record
k of 1 minute 16 seconds, he is one

'HEAVY PLAY ON FLYNN
FORCED DOWN THE ODDS
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M„ June 28.
Jack Johnson now' rules only a 1 to 2
favorite against Jim Flynn. L r p to to
day the Zulu,Cinder was a 2 to 5 shot,
but a heavy morning play on the Pueb
lo fireman sent his price down a notch.
Fight enthusiasts from all parts of
the country are in Las Vegas today’
awaiting the bell which next Thursday
afternoon will send Jim Flynn, chal
lenger, into the ring primed to battle
Jack Johnson for the title of heavy
weight champion of the world. Prepa
rations for the eominb contest have
been practically completed. The list of
those who will officiate has been named.
The Pueblo fireman picked Otto Floto,
of Denver, to act as his timekeeper,
while Al Tearney, of Chicago, and Tom
Flanagan, of Toronto, will act in the
same capacity for Johnson.
Training conditions have taken a
turn for the better. The sun came
out and dried up the roads, enabling
Johnson to resume his hobby' of plug-,
ging over the hills. After a fourteen
mile jaunt yesterday, in which he
‘fagged" his partners, the champion
<*• ewzej back to headquarters, took a
lilt o? rest and then prepared for his
afternoon grind in the gymnasium.
During his boxing work Johnson
’ "crossed" Flanagan, his handler, and
won a bet'posted by the latter at lunch-
I eon. According to the terms of the
wager. Flanagan backed Respress, one
of Jack's sparring partners, to stand
uo for two rounds under the heaviest
punching the champion could admin
ister. Jack convinced Flanagan of the
erfnr of his judgment by stowing away
the poor, unhappy sparring partner in
less than one round.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. JUNE 28. 1912.
WOLGAST IS AT 3 TO 1
IN JOE RIVERS FIGHT
LOS ANGELES, CAL., June 28.—Two
terrible smiters are Ad Wolgast and
Joe Rivers. These ferocious fighters
are going to turn their toughest bat
teriest on each other July 4, and It sug
gests the old high school problem of
what will happen when a body moving
with irresistible force encounters an
immovable object.
They say Wolgast has only lost one
fight—that to Young Nelson. As a
matter of fact, however, Abe Attel had
a long shade over him three years ago.
but that kind of thing never counts in
the log book of a champion while he's
champion.
Ad -has been fighting six years, is
24 years old And has had 46 battles,
half of which he won by the knockout
route. He is regarded as the ideal
lightweight, both in physique and fero
cious disposition, while in the ring.
Rivers, though younger, has a great
record, equally sanguine. He not only
knocks his men out. but he half kills
them. He has knocked out eleven men,
fought four draws and won four de
cisions. He lost to Johnny Kilbane on
what Is regarded as a fluke.
There you have them—two terrible
wallopers, hooked up in a do-or-die
duel on Independence day. Because hi
is champion and because Rivers has
shown that he can be knocked out by
a man of Kilbane’s ability, Wolgast is
a 3 to 1 favorite.
TREASURER QUIT FOR
CAUSE: MONEY RAN OUT
MONTGOMERY, June 28.—When
"Silver Bill" Stickney quit the Mont
gomery' ball club there was talk of a
ruction. But that wasn't the cause.
It was patriotism. There ceased to be
any money to treasure and he resign
ed, being thus Jiereft of a real job.
"The principai >business of a business
manager,” said Stickney, "Is taking care
of the club’s money. When there isn’t
any money coming in. I don’t think
(here's any job for the business man
ager.
’ "That wag about the situation in
Montgomery. Saturday' we ha.d just
8119 in the park. The league guaran
tee is $125 a day. I had to pay Char
ley' Frank that amount, and when 1
did it. I felt that rhy services were no
longer needed. I went to Charjes
Jones, the president of the club, and
told him just how I felt.
.“ ‘You’ve got to pay those ball play
ers,’ I told him, ’and I guess you can
do it without me.’
"That’s all there is to it. There was
absolutely no trouble between Jones
and myself. Charley is one of the best
fellows and gamest men I ever knew in
baseball.”
ATLANTA MAY TAKE OVER
PORSMOUTH’S FRANCHISE
The Atlanta club may get the Ports
mouth franchise by forfeit.
The national commission has ordered
the Virginia league club to pay the At
lanta . club what It owes it for players
bought at the first of the season, if it
does not pay promptly, the franchise
will be turned over to the local club.
If this is done, the local association will
have acquired an elephant, but will get
hold of- Pitcher Erskine Mayer, which Is
the object of its action.
ATLANTA MAY SIGN MAN
OWNED BY SPARTANBURG
Pitcher "Jaxtl?” Coombs (not of the-Ath
letics) may be signed by the Atlanta club.
Last spring Coombs, who was the prop
erty of the Spartanburg elub, refused to
report. When the Crackers got hard up
for pitchers, the Spartanburg owners no
tified Manager Hemphill that if he could
get, Coombs to. play they would sell him
cheap. Hemphill has given Coombs two
morning work-outs and may decide to
sign him. •
GASTON BACK IN COLUMBUS.
COLUMBUS, GA., June 28.—Dave
Gaston, premier batsman of the Co

his release to manag ethe Danville
team, in the Virginia league, has again
joined the Foxes, as the. Danville team
has disbanded on account of the lack
of support.

BIG CREW RACE'
mourn is
NURD TO FIGURE
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y.. June 28.
Rowing experts, who have been watch
ing the, crews which will contest here
tomorrow in the intercollegiate regatta,
are almost universally of the opinion
that the laurels for the varsity race will
be won by either Cornell or Columbia
university.
Os the other four crews in the race —
Pennsylvania, Syracuse. Wisconsin and
Leland Stanford—Pennsylvania and
Syracuse are held to be the most dan
gerous rivals of the favorites. The
men who mill man the. shells for these
two colleges are In prime condition and
are confident that they can cope with
the speedy stroke of the Columbia and
Cornell .rowers.
The dark horse in tomorrow's race
will be the Leland Stanford eight. This
crew is the winner of all equatlc events
on the Pacific 'coast this year and it
was in the expectation of winning hon
ors in the greatest rowing event in the
East that they were sent from Cali
fornia by a subscription of $5,000. The
money was put up by the alumni of
Leland Stanford university.
The Westerners have been somewhat
handicapped in their workout by the
climatic change to which they were
subjected, and also because of the fact
that they had to use a strange shell.
The boat they will race in tomorrow is
one of the Columbia’s old shells, which,
because of Its age and antique design,
is not conducive to the most speedy
work. Despite this disadvantage, how
ever, the Westerners have made a won
derful showing and their supporters
are supremely confident now that
they will at least be placed In the race
tomorrow.
Chief Interest is centered In the Cor
nell eight, however. Cornell has
achieved victory in all but one of the
21 races she has competed in the last
three years. The event she lost was
the freshman race of last year.
Columbia’s eight, while not having
such a magnificent record behind them,
are conceded to be worthy rivals for
first honors. Columbia won the fl’st
race held on the Poughkeepsie course
in 1895. She waited sixteen years for
her next taste of victory, however. This
camo last year to her freshman crew.
Retting on the coming race, while
slightly favoring Cornell and Columbia
crews, has hot been of such a decided
character that a walk-away is looked
for; in fact, Coach Charles E. Court
ney, of the Cornell crew, thus country’s
highest authority on rowing, has
made the statement that never before
in his experience had he seen six crews
so capable as the six that have been
training here for the past few weeks.
