And Cere is only one thing that is keeping them 'way down in the ss, ond division. The lack of snap and ginger, nr good old pep." as they say in base bad slang, is the item that stands between the team and a berth among the first four. Th* writer witnessed Saturday's farce at Pohcey park. And what a nightmare it was! The Atlanta placers were as quiet as a bunch of deaf and dumb mutes at a prayer meeting. They took their turn at. bar as per the. order, and they located their positions when Mont gomery was at bat. But it requires more than me chanical motion to win baseball games. And it is up to Charley- Hemphill to get a big syringe and Inject a bunch of this "pep" into his men. \s J have said, they can waHC in from rhe field, locate their ben-ch without a guide, sit down without being told, know when it is their turn to bat. realize when three are out. ran find where they left their gloves, put 'em on without instruc tions and- prepare for the opposi tion's assault without being signed. But that lets them out. ♦ * • q-HEIR work on »he bases is pa- 1 thetic. In eight innings of the first game Saturday they garnered thirteen hits and yet cashed only two runs.

Willie ("Monk") Coburn, once greatest of jockeys, idol of the turf and rider for King Edward VII, is dying, penniless. In this city. I p to a few days ago he was a pub lic charge, an inmate of the tubercular ward of the city and rounty hospital. But his mother moved him to her bum ble home at 96fi Pine street. She want ed to save him the humility of spend ing his last few days a pauper and pub lic ward. Physicians attending hint say he can not possibly live another month. Coburn in his heyday was one of the greatest jockeys who ever threw leg over a race horse. At Emeryville Im was given his first mount by "Tommy" Lottridge. He rode a horse named Feb ruary. February was Ififi to 1. but in that first race "Monk" Coburn showed there were few jockeys around that track who were his equal. In a des perate finish, February won, and John ny Rieff, who rode the derby winner in England two.weeks ago. had been out ridden by the'exerei.se boy, ".Monk" Cq burn. Then up the ladder of prosperity Do burn literally flew. Every horse owner w anted , him to ride, and his engage ments wer« booked far in advance. Coburn's reputation spread to Eqg- I land. He was induced to go there, ami in a short time was riding under the colors of King Edward of England. It is said King Edward VII took a great fancy to Coburn and showered him w ith gifts. The lad's pictures were ' in the magazines and lie was the idol of | the hour. Coburn made several thou- I sands of dollars and spent the money just as rapidly and as easily as he made it. But weight began creeping on the "Monk." He often had to go to the Turkish baths to reduce. He had to lake long runs. All this was weakening him. Then the cough—"a mere noth ing.” he said at first, "just a cold." But : tuberculosis had settled in his lungs. His strength began to fail. No longer I had he the firm hold on the bridle —his | hands had lost their cunning. A few weeks ago "Monk" Coburn ; draggde himself back to his old home— ! San Francisco. His mother was the only I one who greeted him at the Ferry I building. His friends of earlier pros- I perity were not there. Those men he had clinked glasses with had forgotten I him.
