He got as good as an even break in every other round. <' Keefe used hull ring methods, making a big show of aggressive ness with bluff rushes that did about us much damage as a good stiff jolt from a Jmuse fly. It wasn't a bad bout, except that there was too much w'restllng and not enough punching. Whitney’s cleverness gave him all the edge and his defensive work against the well-meant blows of O'Keefe saved him from any serious damage There was nothing about the scrap al any stage that gave O’Keefe any edge. He did not land as many blows as bis opponent. He did not land as hard. He had noth ing on points or in execution. Boxing is tn a bad way in At lanta. It is merely tolerated here now.

I Hemp Has a Real Ball Club Now, If It Is Losing •!•••!• •J’**!* Agler Is the Best First Baseman Dug Up in Ages By Percy H, Whiting. THERE’S a lot of fun watch ing the Crackers play these days, even if they do lose at least every other game. For Hemphill’s bunch Is a real ball club, made up of real ball players, and when Its pitching strength Is increased until it Is on a par with Its playing and its batting strength it is going to sweep the league. And I don’t care if they did lose to the debilitated Rilllkens yester day afternoon, score 5 to 3. The Cracker and Billiken teams showed about equal offensive and defensive strength yesterday af ternoon, outside the slab position. Rut Paige, pinned It on the Crack ers. while Atkins was hit hard. Yes, true enough, Paige was. just the other day, a Cracker. And he couldn't have won regularly in that uniform against the tail-end team of the Federal Penitentiary League. Neither was Bert Max well any good as a Cracker, nor Neal Ball, nor Al Oemaree (though they didn't even bother to find out In Al’s case.) They were no good as Crackers. They become won ders elsewhere. We don’t atempt an explanation. It’s just “one of them things.” The fact remains, though, that Paige, who couldn’t win for the Crackers, managed to win from them yesterday with something almost bordering on ease. And he won because he out pitched Tommy Atkins and not through any failure on the part of his teammates. • • • A LL of which brings us back to * * the original contention that Atlanta has a real ball club And more than that. Atlanta has the best fielding first baseman that’s been In the league since the days of Jake Ibaubert. His name is Joe Agler, and he hasn't been a Crack er long Any time you want to see a real baseball player In action, come out to the park and watch Joe go to It Now, of course, when in any mi nor league It becomes necessary to talk of great performing on tht first sack It is customary to lug* In the name of Harold Chase, erst while great player of the never very-wonderful Highlanders. Now Agler is no Hal Chase and he’s . not even a Jake Daubcrt or a I Erank Chance. Rut his fielding certainly does remind one, in a mild way. of Chase’s work. He pulled some stuff yesterday after noon that would have been some what to the credit even of Chase. ' Aglet Is built more along the physical lines of Chase than he is of the conventional first baseman 1 of the Jim Fox or the Abstein type. I He is slight, flexible, agile, quick And he’ll do for the Cracker team You expect pretty good ball for ’ Agler. for he has been playing in the International league, and Jias had the benefit of the tutoring of the Cub staff of experts.

SM I TH JOLTS TALENT BY DOWNING THORNTON THAT you never can tell how a sporting event is going to come out until the coming is all over was never better demon strated than xvhen Carleton Smith defeated Nat Thornton yesterday in the Southern championship tourna ment at East Lake in the third round of men’s singles. And worse than that, he did it in straight sets, 7-5, 6-2. After the singles drawing had been made for the present tourna ment, Thornton said: "Carleton Smith will probably beat me. These hard courts suit him. He plays a back line game. I play the net. You can’t play a net game on this vitrified clay. That gives him the advantage." And so it proved. When the man who has won the Old Dominion and the South At lantic championships this year met the man who won the Tennessee title the latter won. And it was unquestionably the deciding match of the tournament. The outcome of this match might have been expected, though It wasn't. For Carleton Smith has been playing Improved tennis of late and his brilliant game is the sort that is calculated to take any body’s measure any old time. In the semi-finals Smith meets E. V. Carter. Jr., and he will give the conqueror of Thornton a big game. Whoever wins in the semi-finals in that frame will doubtless have to meet L. D. Scott. This veteran 1s playing a corking game and should defeat Charest. The men’s doubles, unlike the singles, have come through to the final round without an upset. In the upper frame B. M. Grant and E. V. Carter, Jr., reached the finals without a single hard match. In the lower frame Smith and Thorn ton did the same thing. When they come together it will be a match for blood. Smith and Thornton should win, but they are erratic, while Car ter and Grant are steady. All four are brilliant players, and the match, which will be played Saturday aft ernoon, should be a corker. The tvomen's singles came through entirely according to schedule, and Mrs. Taylor. of Brooklyn, was the winner. In the entire tournament she lost only seven games. She will not find the going so good when she meets Miss Irving Murphy, of Next Orleans, in the challenge round. This, by the way, will be the only challenge Ntnd of the tournament, unless Conrad Doyle turns up unexpected ly. which isn’t likely.
