CUBAN TRIP FOR BARONSJS PLAN 7 ne Baron baseball club, with Ray Hvan as promoter, and Rafael Al meida as headliner, will go barn fl(irming through Cuba this winter. Os curse the Barons are planning thfi r trip on the assumption that they wj ,, wln Southern league pennant, which isn't at all a certainty, as yes !e iav - ball games at Poncey demon sl.Hlf, At the same time they are wiping to risk it, and plans are being made right now. Ray Ryan, who has been up at Chillicothe this season, will probably t, f in . harge of a crowd. Ryan recent h- .cd on Prank Bancroft in Cincin nati and asked for some pointers on taking she Birmingham team to the p.-'a' ~f the Antilles. Ryan figures ■ iat with Almeida in the line-up, the Barons should draw exceedingly well „n the island. Th< Birmingham team has had the Cuba idea in its head for a long time, an.-: as Jiminez. the Cuban promoter, who lakes all the teams Over, has de clared he wants to take over one minor league aggregation and one big league team after the close of the season, it looks very much as though Birming ham will be the lucky team, especially as Almeida is bound to be the big al t-action. ;■ SAYS BASEBALL IS VERY NECESSARY IN POLITICS Montgomery, ala., July to.— a knowledge of baseball is essential to success in Alabama politics. In fact, the bigger baseball crank the office eeeker is the more glittering are his chances for election. This was the the ory that met William P. Cobb, of Tus kegee. when he came to Montgomery yesterday. He is a candidate for sec retary of state. He admits that base ball is a necessity and, as his campaign progresses, lie intends to post himself more minutely on the national sport. It was shewn to him that every capi tol official from top to bottom is a fan. with a possible exception or two. Mr. Cobb says that soon he will or ganize his campaign forces and cover the state like the dew. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR “PAPER?” Strange Pleas Made By Readers . of a Periodical Protesting Against Present Size. There was once a man who edited and published a religious periodical. The editor labored long in trying to make his publication supply the neces sary entertainment for Sunday in the homes of readers who would read nothing but this periodical upon that day. The editor discovered that certain worldly men were pointing the derisive finger at his paper and calling it a blanket" on account of its large size. Thinking that he would please his pa trons. he cut down the size to make it look more like a modern magazine. Then his trouble started. Letters arrived protesting against the change, one being from a woman, and it con tained a plaintive protest that the pa per be returned to its former size, for "it just fitted my jelly shelves.” Think of the.consternation of finding that such literary«efforts should be put to such ignoble use. No such protests have been received by The Georgian from those who have secured The Georgian's ATLAS AND HISTORY. There seems to be no danger of that book being put. to any use other than that for which it is intended. Better get a book for your office desk sn your boy and girl can be free to use the one at home. 1 f.IP SIX HEADINGS NOW. Colorado! Riding is Riding in Colorado Mountain trails that wind for miles.

July 10.—Tom my Kilbane, the gamest little fighter Ohio ever turned out, probably never will be seen in the ring again. In his recent fight here with Phil Brock he took the count. When he arose, a beaten and heart-broken man, he was heard to mumble. "I have come to my end.” And he has. He got what all fighters get when they remain in the ring long enough. Few of them quit in proper time. Taking the count was a new and sad experience to Tommy Kilbane. In the ring, after his seconds had carried him to the corner, he acknowledged the messages of sympathizing friends with lowered head. He was ashamed to look them in the face. Later, in the dress ing room, he broke down. "Don't look at me, Paddy,” he told his brother as he dressed himself. “I took the count.” He tried to laugh it off. but it was no use. "It is all over with me,” he mut tered to himself. Tommy Kilbane won't fight again. It’s too bad, when one stops to think what he might have been. Two years and a half ago he had a great future ahead of him. Had he handled himself right he could have ac cumulated a fortune. But he got steered the wrong way, and wouldn't follow the right path. He made many mistakes. That's why. at 21, he’s “all In” as a fighter. When he was younger he took too much punching about the head. He never covered up, but took all his op ponents saw fit to give him. And he fought too often. The consequence is that now Tommy loses his strength after being hit a few times and he has to stall the remainder of the contest. He is merely a shell. A few punches will send him reeling. - Though gone from the ring. 1 ofnmy Kilbane is one fighter who will have friends. Every place he fought he made a hit. He will not be forgotten— because he was once a real fighter.

CORRI THINKS REFEREE SHOULD BEJN THE RING A controversy as to whether the ref eree's position should be in or outside the ring is just now agitating English boxing circles. The question is only part of a movement aimed at some widespreading reforms. An effort is being made to promulgate an interna tional scale of weights that will be rec ognized in all countries where boxing is held. The leading authorities on boxing have given their views for publication. All are in unison regarding the uniform rate scale, but differ on the referee problem. Some decide that the referee is a nuisance in the ring, obstructing the view of the spectators and getting in the way of the boxers. Those tak ing the opposite side point out that when the referee is outside the ropes he is unable to see a foul blow struck if the recipient happens to have his back turned on him. Eugene Corri who is recognized as England's leading referee, favors the American system of refereeing. Gil bert Elliott, chairman of the National Sporting club, of London, takes the opposite point of view. Victor Brayer, the French promoter, when asked to give his opinion, said he favored the plan of having three judges outside the ropes to give the decision and a ring master inside to see that the men box fairly.

GIANTS ARE BEARS WITH STICK;TERRORS ON PATHS The Giants are making a walkaway of the National league race. Why? Here are a few facts that will throw light on the subject: Four Giants are batting better than .360, while two have aver ages over .290. The New York club's batting av erage is .299. The Giants have a slugging av erage of .417. Os the leading ten base runners tn the National league ten art members of the New York team. They have three of the best run getters in the old league. The leading four pitchers in the National league are Giants. Four times this season have the Giants won ine games in a row. They have two strings of eleven consecutive victories and the last is their record run of sixteen straight. "Old Doc" Crandall, the veteran Giant heaver, leads his team in bat ting with an average of .385. The In dian catcher, .Tack Meyers, follows with ,368 and then come Larry Doyle with .365 and Fred Merkle, .363. “Red" Mur ray. the outfielder who did not make a hit during the world series of-1911. is hitting .297 and Beals BeCker is four points behind him. In 68 games the Giants have batted 2,281 times, scored 462 runs, made 682 hits. The Giants have 27 home runs. 45 three-baggers and 125 doubles, a total of 296 extra bases and a slugging aver, age of .417. Doyle is second among the leading sluggers of the league. Schaefer leads the base runners with 41. with Devore. 36, third. Becker, Doyle, Merkle, Murray, Herzog and Snodgrass are the others in order named. MUGGSY McGRAW HAS THE FINAL WORD WITH GIANTS “Talk about the Giants being a one man team." says Frank Bancroft, "few people realize the complete domination of John McGraw. John T. Brush is as completely under his control as Josh Devore or Beals Becker. Said I to Brush one day: ‘Didn’t it ever occur to you that certain things mjght be done differently in handling games?’ 'Only once.’ said Mr. Brush. 'That was all. I had an idea one day. It seemed to me that a slight change in tactics might be a winner. 1 said so to Mc- Graw. ■'Well,” said McGraw, "it doesn't look that way to me, and it won't be done.” And I. never ventured to say a word again.’” JOHN GANZEL LIKELY TO GO UP NEXT YEAR John Ganzel, who. as manager of the Rochesters. has won three pennants in succession and seems to be in a fair way to capture another this year, prob ably will handle a major I‘eague team next season. He didn’t come up to ex pectations when he managed the Cin cinnati Reds five years ago, but he didn't have much of a chance to prove his worth. Ganzel has shown real merit in Rochester, however, and it is said that he has received offers from several ma jor league clubs which are searching tor managerial timber. DELAHANTYS LOSING OUT. The name of Delehanty is familiar to all baseball lovers. For years it has been celebrated in the national game. Now there is only one Delehanty left. He is Jim, of the Detroit team, and Jim is sustaining the reputation of the fam ily name. SCOUTS WATCH MACK’S SON.
