JENNINGS SURE Df I NATIONAL LEAGUEBERTH By W. J. Mcßeth. ■xTEW, YORK, July 16, —The \ more or less brilliant ca rear of Hughie Jennings » the once terrible Detroit Tr. r- furnishes a fitting il- I ■■•arion of the vicissitudes cf kle fandom as "ell as the fl- -ing breath of fame. The man nr. for three years—while he de- . -cd American league pennants tn the City of the Straits —was h,n• d universally as one of base ly? « greatest managers and idol r,v the supporters of the Royal F-ngals appears in line for Byron p - roft Johnson's official guillo r>r In other words. Hugh Jen ninff' is slated to pass out of the ■.. sing major organization, if. re po: ■ from the West are to be cred ited. ... Jennings is in very bad favor n :n Frank Navin, president of the Detroit club, and the whole Ameri . an league in general. He is blamed f.->r the unprecedented strike of the rank and file of the Felines fol ■ <vving the indefinite suspension of Ty t'obb for striking and assault ing a spectator at the Hilltop grounds in this city during De troit- first visit of the year to Gotham. Jennings Was Loyal to League. Hugh Jennings took no active part in the rebellion; indeed, at least ro those on the outside he gave every evidence of loyalty to the league and his employers. If he was in with the athletes, as most American league magnates insinuate, then, indeed, is Hugh an adroit cuss, whose diplomacy should he commended highly rath et than frowned upon. Os itself the baseball strike of Detroit was but a sputter, and the malcontents were forced to swallow a bitter dose, vet it is the future rather than the past over which the mo guls are apprehensive. Following fa r upon the heels of Tiger in subordination have been instances of individual treason, most recent ly that of Hub Perdue, of the Bos ton Nationals. When this great pitcher tore up his uniform and de ilrcetl he would never again play for she City of Culture so long as J-bhnfly Kling remained at the head of rhe Braves, he but re-echoed the general sentiment of his frater nity 'hat it Is due time for the profession to strike for certain due rights' heretofore denied. ''.'hrrnfoße; rhe American league h«- found a' seasonable' excuse of open blame to Jennings. He is to b» made the goat."

July , 16.—Jim Flynn did not bring back the flower of fistic su premacy to the white race, but he has caused the suspicion to arise that it will not be such a difficult task for the pale faces*to regain the cherished emblem of superiority. That the contest at Las Vegas showed that World's Champion Jack Johnson is on the down grade physically was the opinion of the majority of the men with preten sions to knowledge of such matters that the writer spoke to and he eortSersed with quite a few. The're are others—staunch admirers of the colored champion—who think that over-confidence and under-training prevented Johnson from adminis tering just such another beating to the Fireman as was administered at San Francisco five years ago. In this connection here Is some thing from a man very close 'to Johnson, but who resolutely refused to stand sponsor for hi« views to the extent of allowing his name to be published. "it's the same old story.’’ said she man referred to. "While work ing up to the championship John son was a very faithful trainer and never underestimated an adver sary. When he whipped Jetfries and became the king of the ring, he acquired too big an opinion of him self altogether. So many syco phants told him there never was anybody like him in the history of pugilism that he believed it. "As for Flynn, why Johnson held him so cheaply that he would not have trained at all. probably, if it had not been for the sake of ap pearances. You'd he astonished if you knew of all the bets Johnson made as to the number of times he would knock Flynn down. He back ed himself to knock the Pueblan down in the first round and then again in the second and in the third and fourth, and sad to re late. he never staggered Flynn, let along knocking him down. Nor I do not agree with those who think that Johnson was in serious danger of petering out when he began to bold Flynn so tightly in the sixth round; that he was tired I admit, but be was simply taking a means of resting himself and if Flynn had not retaliated by butting—thus causing the fight to be stopped—l think Johnson would have cut loose in spots and eventually scored a knockout punch. I'll bet Johnson will train more faithfully for the next man. no matter who it is. He will not drink so much beer and he will go tu bed early the night GRAND CIRCUIT MEET IN KALAMAZOO OPENS KALAMAZOD. MICH.. July 16- Grand circuit racing opened here under most favorable track and weather con ditions. Queen Dortliy had little dif ficulty in landing the 2:18 trot. Nut line, driven by Hoffman, crowded the winner in the first heat, but at no time was she in danger of being passed. In the 2:07 pace Sunny Jim, the fa vorite. never took a first. Braden Di rect took the first and last heats and the rave. , It required four heats to decide the 2:14 pace. Pearl Patch and Henry H contending closely for first honors in every heat. Pear!

As for Flynn, he has disgusted the most of his well wishers by his infernally bad ring manners. Those who had money up on him are particularly wrathful as they feel that the fireman lost the bat tle through criminaljy foul tactics. It is prophesied, in fact, that Pueb lo Jim will always be held back by his rough-house temperament. He seems to entertain the idea that two wrongs constitute a right and that when Johnson violated the rules of fair play by constant holding it was perfectly legitimate to offset the champion’s questionable tactics by using the head in catapultic fashion. It was astonishing the number of well meaning sporting men who moved over to Flynn's corner be tween"round? and besought him to keep his» temper. They told him he would surely win out if he refrain ed from bntting. as Johnson was tiling perceptibly, but it was lilw trying to reason wtth -a craiy per son. in Flynn's case the champion ship and all that went with it was lost sight, of .for the time being. With him it was simply a fight— a grudge fight. I might say. and he was bent upon coming out on top by book or by crook. What "ill be the outcome of the affair so far as other matches are concerned remains to be seen. Flynn, even though he is flouted (Jor a rattle-brained ring man. will be a card from this time forward, but it Is doubtful if he will get an other match with Johnson. The latter talks of going to Aus tralia to box Langford, but the ver tical setback he received at Las Vegas may cause him to alter his plans. Johnson evidently thinks very poorly of Al Palzer "He is not ripe yet," said the champion when Palzer's name was mention ed, the inference being that he con siders a couple of years will have to elapse before Palzer can be regard ed as a championship candidate. For that matter. Johnson candid ly states his opinion that the "Big Four" among the heavyweights is composed of colored men, *to wit: Johnson, Jeannette. Langford and McVea. "The Palzer-Bombardier Wells match wont just as I expected.” said Johnson. "I was particularly unlucky in missing the match with Wells in England. 1 felt that there were middleweights in this country who could lick the Bombardier. As for Palzer. I only gave him a chance because 1 knew Wells was such a poor fighter. Langford, Mc- Vea or Jeannette could whip Pal zer. and I think Jeannette is the nest man of them ail." BOSTON REFUSES BIG OFFER FOR SWEENEY BOSTON. July 16. —Garry Herritiann. chief owner of the <'incinnati baseball club, president of the national baseball commission and one of the astute lead ers of baseball, lias offered $10,900 for the release of Captain Bill Sweeney of the Boston Pilgrims. As eager as James E. Gaffney, treas urer and chief owner, and Joint M. Ward, president of the Boston Nation als. are for trades, they would not sell Bill Sweeney for SIO,OOO or anything like that sum. He is worth more than any baseball team would reasonably offer.

Men and Religion Bulletin No. 6 Atlanta, Ga., July 15, 1912 It has been brought to the light of public knowlege that there are more than 40 houses in Atlanta conducted for gain by public prostitution. They exist in the knowledge of the Mayor, the City Council, the Police Commission and the Police Force and carry on their traffic openly as com mercial establishments. They are scattered around the heart of the city and, while defying the law and the courts in their traffic, they claim and receive immunity from the sworn officers of the law not allowed other lawless business enterprises. In our capacity as citizens and as ministers of the Gospel, we protest against these “Houses in our Midst” as in defiance of the law, as corrupting to the public morals and private virture, and as intolerable to the enlightened social conscience. /As ministers of God we can not and will not be silent so long as this partnership between the city and vice continues.
