ON CULL W
CHEESE CHAMP'
By Monty.
»tGW -YORK. July 17. —Ari Wol-
gast is just about a dead bird
’ so far as his chances of fight
ing in New York again are concern
ed Discussion of bis affair with
game little Mexican Joe Rivers out
on the coast two weeks ago has
been going on among the sharps
here at a lively rate and the out
come of it all is that once more
he referred to as the "cheese
i hampion"—the old epithet applied
tn him unjustly while laid up with
a bad arm a couple of years ago.
when he refused to enter the ring
against a real challenger to his
lightweight laurels.
But there is nothing unjust con
nected with the taint cast upon him
n n« He is a "cheese champion"
nO w. holding as he does the hol
low official title, of lightweight king.
Rivers is considered the real lead
er of the division now. at least here
in Gotham, though Referee Jack
Welch awarded the decision to
Wolgast on a foul that nobody else
M w, while he Ignored the palpable
fouling of Rivers by Wolgast. All
the big local clubs are after Riv
rrt to put him on with some of»the
good boys in the East, and the
probability is that his next battle
will be on Manhattan Isle. But
a; sot Wolgast—never again!
Has Few Gotham Friends,
The remaining supporters of W«l

thick as hippopotamuses on the
back of a flea. You can't notice
th<m even with the aid of 3 micro
scope A search in this man's own
torn for somebody who will ven
ture that Wolgast is still the best
lightweight, resembles greatly
Diogenes' bunt for the honest man.
Dotal sharps say they can put
forward the names of more than
half a dozen men that can make
Wolgast look sick, at any weight
the "cheese champion" could name,
whether it be 133 ringside or 135 at

Chance’s Rejuvenated Pitch
ing Staff Will Make Issue
Close—Old Feud Between
These Teams Renewed Af
ter the Spiking of Herzog,
By Christy Mathewson.
For T#n Years the Premier Pitcher of
the Giants.
rpHE old ft ud between the
I Giants and the Cubs iias
broken loose again with re- I
fiewed vigor. Altogether it has
a history-making week in the Na
tional league, with the eyes of all
followers of the race focused on
the series between .New York and
' 'hicago.
The old wound was opened w hen
"Johnny Evers slid into Herzog
at third base in the second game of
the past series with all his spikes
showing in a hat looked like a de
liberate attempt to i ut the Giants’
third baseman down. Herzog is
not the sort of player who is east!.',
rilc-d or who welcomes trouble, but
he was so sure that Evers had en
deavored to spike him purposely
that he leaped on the prostrate
“Johnny” and started to choke him
before- Tom Needham, who was
coaching at third: Bush, the um
pire and 1 could drag him off
H»rzog declared later that the at
tempt was deliberate, as there was
no necessity for Johnny" sliding.
He was caught by ten feet. Most
of the boys laughed the incident
away, and attributed it to one of
Evers' "brain storms.” John ap
pears to get very excited w hen in
a clone game, and he does things
that’he is sorry for later. I believe
that h p was heartily penitent over
the occurrence.
It .was a tough series, and Chi
cago got the best of it, although
it will not have any influence on
the ultimate result in the pennant
race. Mushroom prophets in I'hi
cago herded us out of the c ity,
claiming the flag and stating that
the New York club was all in. They
cried that Marquatd was done and
that he would never be a winning
pitcher again.
The absurdity of thes‘ statements
is evident when it is taken into
consideration that "Rube" won
nineteen games this season with
out losing one. Whep he was de
feated once the Cubs' adherents
ro- ■ up and cried that he was all
in.
Defeat Good for Ma»'quard,
I While they ruined his record in
Chicago, the defeat is undoubted
ly a good thing for Marquard. As
he piled up victory after victory
into a record the strain told on him
more with each contest, until the
nerve-wearing ordeal was taking
the weight off the lanky twirler and
slowly driving him stale. It was
the psychology of the t ecord mak
ing that finally beat him - not the
('ubs.
Tht. • hicago series was no sur
prise to the Giants. It has not
discouraged the team at all. We
realized, when we were there, that
the Cubs were traveling at the top
of their speed, while our pitchers
were weak and we played two of
the games and a part of the third
without Larry Doyle, one of the
heaviest and most timely hitters on
the club.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. JULY 17. 1912.
: Mathewson Says •
Jimmy Lavender
: Is Great Pitcher • |
• —— j •
• Here is what Christy Methew- •
• son says about Jimmy Lavender. •
• the Georgia boy who is pitching •
• excellent ball for the CuLs;
• 'Lavender is one of the most •
• promising youngsters that I have *
• seen break into the big league in a • |
• tong time. The beauty of his * i
• work is that it gets better as the •
• situation becorhes tighter, and he • |
• does net fade away in a pinch. •
• He has a lot of speed, a n'ce curve •
• ball and a bad spitter that he •
• mixes in judiciously. He also uses • I
• his head.” * ■
• •
hurt New York most was the tear
ing apart of our team through in
juries. The maiming of Fletcher
will not break up the Giants’ in
field. Shafer ought to fill the gap
• satisfactorily until Fletcher is
again ready to take his old place.
That is the great value of the
team McGraw has assembled. When
one man is hurt he has a man al
most exactly as good to take his
place.
The injuries to Wilson and Groh
win not handicap the club badly
unless the reguia- men in those po
sitions are laid up in the meantime.
Meyers and Doyle are both fit to
work now.
1 do not think that any of the in
juries to the New York players was
inflicted intentionally, as the spik
ing of Groh at second bate was
something that is likely to befall '
any player. Groh was spiked in
the hand as Zimmerman, the Chi
cago third baseman, slid for the
bag. and it was the fault of neithe:
one, but just one of thy breaks of
the game.
Cubs’ Pitching Staff Strong.
Chance has a great team rn the
<’ubs now, and his pitching staff is
especially to be admired. Laven
der is one of the mo-1 promising •
youngsters that I have seen break
into the big league in a long time.
The beaut.v of his work is that it
gets better as the situation be
comes tighter, ami he does not fade
away in a pinch He has a lot of
speed, a nice curve ball and a bad
spitter that he mixes in judicious
ly. He also uses his head.
Richie seems to be as good as he
eve was—against the Giants, at
any rate. The present arrange
ment of his team, with Leach in
■ enter field gives Chance a dan
gerous and hard-hitting infield ami
outfield. It is a well balanced,
strong club, but is handicapped
in the race for th° pennant by a
lead that I don't believe can possi
bly be overcome
(if course, as I have intimated
before, nothing is impossible in
baseball, and a protracted slump
by the Giants might result in our
eluh dropping back within reach
ing distance of the Cubs. It is now
only the middle of July, with two
months and a half left to play.
The <'hicago team is the strong
i's' contender in the race next to
the Giants, and one that would be
feared by a team with a less com
manding lead. It will fatten up on
the other easy Eastern clubs now.
while we are fighting the rest of
the hard-hitting Westerners, and
wi | gain on us considerably on
ih | trip. Then the Westerners

Chicago Still in Rae*.
St. Louis is playing good ball
right now. and that club always
| gives the Giant;- a stiff battle,
w hile Pittsburg and Cincinnati are
| teams hard to down. <'hicago will
gain enough An the Giants —at
least, that isnny prediction—with
in the next month to make the race
interesting, and the followers of
the New York club. who are
grumbling because, they say, the
interest has evaporated from the
pennant pursuit, will awaken to
the fact that there is still some
thing besides the contention for
second place.,
Pittsburg has developed an errat
ic streak lately which is likely to
confine it to third place in the run
ning That is a peculiar team to
explain. When nitted against a
first-class club, like lite ('ubs or
the Giants, the Pirates play their
heads off to best them, and usuallv
do as often as not. But when
some easy victim arrives, such as
the Philadelphia team, for instance,
the Pirates cave. We have had no
difficulty with the Phillies all sea
son. but they gave Clarke and his
crowd a battle in the last series.
Such is the unexplainable uncer
tainty of bas'ball. and on this ele
ment of uncertainty I base m.v
opinion tjhat the race is by no
means eVer yet.
Cincinnati has showed an im
provement during its recent stand
at home and apnea s to be return
ing to something like the form
displayed when the club shot out
ahead of all the others early in the
season. Binton. Suggs and Fromm*
are all pitching g?>o I ball, and the
flaw which pulled Hank O'Day
back was the weakening of his
pitching stuff. He has a good,
fast team, and one that always
puts up'a bail game.
There is little to say about the
other teams on their showing in
the last week. Brooklyn has
slipped back in the landing after
once having attained the head of
th° second division in the pennant
parade.
