HfOMS 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 --rist in New York are about as 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 ' o'clock They even believe D o key McFarland could • -ome down to Wolgast'e ringside demands and b° ’b!“ to knock Ad's block off.

Not nnh cowardly, but dishonest, was ’his performance of his. particular ly "hen he must have known as well as everybody' at the ringside that he had fouled Rivers inten tionally and that River.® had not fouled him at all. ■>. -1, _ , - ._ .- ?

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 feature of the series that Hl i——i. |~ w>Ta*«r>r» «wi vu-r-: muuhu m 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.

Evers' Action Is Responsible for the Outbreak—The Great Pitcher Says the Cubs Will Gain Points on the Giants During the Next Month. part of the circuit, when the Cubs will again encounter the simple Eastern .diet, which is so easy to digest and vetw nourishing. 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. (Copyright,' 1912. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, t APPALACHIAN LEAGUE.
