TENN., July 31.—The Nashville club this morning announced the sale of Third Baseman Joe McDon ald to Topeka. Kans., tn the Western league. The price was not made pub lic. McDonald will report to Topeka this week. wrn Go to it, old sport. It won’t hurt you. n matter how much you drink. Wholesome as well as de licious. AT THE BALL GAME And All Stands—ln Bottles 5c Mike Gibbons, a Welter Star, Must Now Go Up to “Middle” MIKE GIBBONS might start to worry a little. The St. Paul man has cleaned up about everything there is in the lean welterweight division and . from the looks of that depleted di vision lie will get les= than noth ing from further forages among tile 145-pounders. Even though Mike may make frantic claims that he is nothing but a welterweight, he isn't so far from being a real middleweight and why not take a shot at some of the pickings in that division? The middles are not a desper ately tough lot —most of them, that is. If Mike is really the wonder that his friends claim him to be he could well afford to give away a little weight to the stars of the 156-160-pound squad and depend upon his class to carry through. Why not? Others go out of their classes and meet with success. And Mike, they say, is one of the real stars of the world. Many Examples to Follow. Why not emulate the example of Abe Attell. Ad Wolgast, Tommy Ryan. Bob Fitzsimmons, Sam Langford, Joe Choynski and many, many others that might be named and take a chance? Class carried those stars through and Mike shouldn't be afraid. We read with considerable sur prise the statement made by Bom bardier Wells' manager about Gib bons. He says that Gibbons Is one of the wonders of the world as a boxer and that he could make a monkey out of Eddie McGoorty. Putting aside our opinion as to whether an English manager of a ather mediocre English heavy weight should 6e permitted to voice an idea on the subject, we'll say that "until Gibbons has shown that he Is 4n the class with second rate middleweights we couldn’t dope him up at all as a fit member of the middleweight division If Gibbons can make good as a middleweight he would indeed be a welcome addition to the time hon ored Queensberry class made fa mous originally by Jack Dempsey. But he hasn't been proved any thing but a great welterweight yet. and that, too, according to his own statements, so why should the Englishman make such a wild statement? Could Beat All England. if this statement is true, Gibbons indeed could whip all of England, for McGoorty. during his two trips to the other side, beat everything they had anywhere near his weight. Funny, but when the name of Gibbons is mentioned the middle THE ATLANTA GEORG LAN AND NEWS. \\ EDN'ESDAI, JI LY 31. 1912. West fight fans hark back to his meeting in Milwaukee with Jimmy t’labby. This was one of the very worst battles ever perpetrated on the Cream City fans, many of whom stalled to leave the building before the men were half through with the ten rounds. And Gibbons was generally blamed for the hor rible showing that the men made, and further, many accused Mike that night of dogging it consider ably and not standing up manfiill) to his guns. Proves a Great Welter. Be that as it may. Mike has yet to be proved as a middleweight, though he doubtless is one of the world's greatest welters. And fur ther, he hasn't beaten anything much so far because of the general leanness of the welterweight divi sion. Personally, I think he would do well battling among the middle weights of the present day, but it is idle to guess.now that he could whip this man or that one. He’ll have to show first that, he can whip some of the second raters before he aspires to battles with the real leaders of the class. GENE PAULET SPRAINS ANKLE: OUT TWO WEEKS CHATTANOOGA. TENN July 31. The pennant aspirations of the Mobile Gulls received a heavy blow yesterday afternoon when Gene Paulet sprained his ankle, falling over first base.

Campbell's arm is still sore, to make matters worse. MAY RELEASE McCOY. BRUSSELS, July 31.- It is believed here that "Kid” McCoy, who was arrest ed last week in London on a provisional extradition warrant on the allegation that he had been implicated in a jewelry rob bery in Belgium, soon will lie given his liberty. It is now declared in some quar ters lie was the victim of a conspiracy on the part of the real robbers, who In duced him to go to Ostend on the pretext of arranging a boxing match, but in real ity to throw off suspicion from themselves i<i connection with the theft WASHINGTON VICTORIOUS. WASHINGTON. GA , July 31 -It was a walkover for Washington in tlie first game of tlie series with Warrenton, the locals winning by the score of 17 to 5.

Jack White has signed articles to box Frankie Russell and Joe Thomas in New Orleans some time in the near future If Jack Johnson is in earnest about his retirement from the ring, as was an nounced yesterday. it is very likely a negro pug will still be boss of the heavy weights, as Joe Jeannette should be able to take care of any of the so-called “Hopes.” Jeannette will probably claim the title. • • ♦ • PacKey McFarland has signed a con tract to box Young McCartney in Phila delphia, .August 30.
