South Has Greatest Faith in the Rugged French Fighter NEW ORLEANS WILL fiO BROKE ON JOE MANDOT By Ed. \V. Smith. IE the I,os Angeles followers of Jose Rivers are prepared to back their favorite to the limit in the fight Labor day with Joe Mandot there is little doubt that New Orleans will "stand a tap" on the French boy. There isn't any question about the Los Angeles man’s friends being able to get their money down if they send it to New Orleans. It is merely a matter of the Mexican being able to put it over. Never has a fighter had a town’s support in more convincing style since the days when Billy Myer caused the farmers down around Streator to mortgage their farms to get money to bet on him, espe cially when he fought Jack Mc- Auliffe at North Judson. Ind., ‘way back yonder.' New Orleans surely is convinced on this French boy. And they do not bar Ad Woigast or any of the others in their calcu lations. As far. as Mandot is con cerned he can trim one of them as easily as he can another. Mandot a Likely Winner, And at this angle it looks more as if Mandot had an excellent chance of putting it over on Rivers BILL SCHWARTZ SURE ■ TO LEAD VOLS AGAIN TLyASHVILLE, TENN., Aug. 24. Kv Although no contract has been signed for next season by Manager Bill Schwartz, it is almost certain that the present leader of the Volunteers will have charge of the destinies of the team again in 1913. The present season has been far from successful in every way, but the blame for this can not be laid on the shoulders of the manager. He has at last man aged to get together a first-class team and the fans are well satis fied with the prospects for next season, when, they are already pre dicting. Nashville should be right up in the scrap for first place. The chief cause' of the failure of the team to prove a winner is thought to be the fact that it was exiled for several weeks at the first of the season because of legal en tanglements which followed an at tempt to play Sunday baseball. A change of ownership was effected before the chancery court would al low the team back on Tennessee soil, and, following a recent re- If you intend to move September 1 call at our Main or Ivy office at once and sign contract for tele phone service.

Dames Tuesday, Thur day and Halaula,- nights. in the Los Angeles battle a week from Monday. Mandot is a better boy than a lot of people imagine. He has almost everything in the fistic category and is as game a boy as ever they stood in a ting. If he doesn't make the mistake of tin-canning too much in their en gagement on the coast he is apt to make a tremendous hit out there. Down South they regard Joe as more of a replica of the famous old Kid Lavigne, whom they also adored, than any lightweight fight er since the glorious days of the Saginaw iron man. Has Cleverness and a Punch. Indeed, the Mandot of today isn't dissimilar to the Lavigne of the early nineties. He is even bet ter in that he is extremely clever, a rare trait in a man possessed of a heavy wallop. There isn’t the’ bit of a question at all about his gameness and stamina and as Riv ers always has found it necessary to hit an opponent many times be fore he is able to bring him to the •mat he is apt to have a decidedly discouraging time with the French boy The lightweights, it is likely, will occupy a more thap prominent place in the swatting affairs of the organization, the team is still with out a president. Manager Schwartz now boasts of the best outfield in the league, with James, Daley and Welchonce fill ing the three positions, and the pitchers are all doing well, with the exception of Toddy Bair, who is due to get the "can” before the season Is over. West has devel oped into a star and Summers is the best twirler in the league. Nashville’s infield is a steady one and the catching staff one of the best in the circuit. Heretofore .Manager Schwartz has been somewhat partial to vet eran players, but states that he will try to strengthen up with some fast youngsters next season. Speed will be the main thing he will seek, since that has handicapped the team this year more'than any thing else.

The Woigast-McFarland contest in New York natu ally will be the big set piece of the fall series of battles in this ever popu lar class, but there are other con tests in sight that will divide in terest. Winner to Get Woigast. The winner of the Rivers-Mandot battle out on the coast is reason ably sure of an early crack at Ad Woigast fob the title. They are looking for a likely man to send against the Cadillac marvel for the Thanksgiving day date. It may be that Willie Ritchie, the young 'Frisco star, will get this engage ment, as the newspapers out there have espoused his cause and are making a great ado because none of the other fighters will pay any attention to him. But there also is a better chance that the winner of the Labor day battle will get the flist crack at the champion, or what is left of the champion after McFarland gets through with him in that ten-round affair in New York. It would be mighty nice for Packey if he could hook Woigast up in a 20 or 25- round affair out there, but the weight naturally will stand in the way. THE BASEBALL CARD. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today.

Who Is To Coach G?NLC Boys i hmk||L MADDOX SURE TO BE MURIEL FOR GJ. C. TEAMS Georgia military col lege made a ten-strike when they secured A. K. Maddox as athletic director, and also professor of English, the com ing year. Maddox cpmes to G. M. C. from the diversity of Georgia, where his work in athletics has been topnotch. For two years he has been the unanimous choice for tackle on the All-Southern team, and every year he has been placed o|i the All-State team. He has played tackle and fullback on the Georgia team for four years. Last year, due to the injuries of the captain, he directed the play of the team, and through his excellent work Georgia stood second only to Vanderbilt in the entire South. Athens Loses by Change. This year Coach Cunningham se lected him as his assistant and he had made his plans to return to college to fake up this work, and only with reluctance did Georgia give this man to Professor Horton, of G. M. C. To lose this sterling player and excellent coach is a se vere loss to the University of Geor gia, but his good work at G. M. C. will still reflect credit on his alma mater. During the preliminary work of getting the G. M. C. team in shape for a championship season two of Georgia’s best athletes will be with Maddox in Bob McWhorter, the best halfback in the South and mentioned on tlfe All-American team of last season, and Timon Bowden, his running mate at half back, who is also an All-Southern man. These men will work hard to help G. M. ('., for Maddox is so well liked, not only by his teammates, but by the entire student body, that they are all pulling for the success of G. M. C. Season Opens September 28. Georgia will open the football season by playing the freshman team against G. M. C. September 28. Maddox has coached the class teams and has the enviable record of always winning the class cham pionship. He has also been a mem ber of the track team and has done excellent work in putting the shot and throwing the hammer. Also, he has played on the class baseball teams, only a bad knee keeping him off the varsity team. BRESNAHAN’S JOB MAY BE HANDED TO HUGGINS ST. LOUIS, Aug. 24.—The real reason for the blocking of the deal sending Mil ler Huggins to Cincinnati, according to a well defined rumor existing here, is the desire of Mrs. Helen Britton, owner of the St. Louis Nationals, to have Huggins eventually stay as manager of the club. Mrs. Britton also favors Huggins over Bresnahan, believing that Bresnahan, with the tine start he had last season, has not made good this year. She Is also re ported to be displeased because of Roger’s intimacy with McGraw in the proposed tour of the world by the Giants. The blocking of the deal, it is said, was a diplomatic hint to Bresnahan to sever his connection with the club and allow Mrs. Britton to negotiate with Huggins.

As the scene has changed, however, it now appears as if Griffith’s men have shot their bolt, have blown and faded like a midsummer rose, that they were destined to be nothing but a nine days wonder. Athletics Brace Too Late. The Athletics, showing a be lated flash of their one time form, already have seen themselvek very close to the Senators, and, while there may be a certain amount of fluctuating between these two, in dications now are that the even tual standing will find the Phil- delphians ensconsed in second place. But they have struck their gait far too late to overhaul the Red Sox. The Boston speed boys have been playing a wonderfully consistent game of top-notch ball ever since they said good-bye to the White Sox away in June. A perusal of box scores and other statistics will show what a tremendous fac tor the work of Wood and Speaker has been in this success. Sir Jo seph seems almost certain to lead the winning flingers of the Ban Johnson circuit when the season turns from present into past. And if Cobb does not suffer himself to be outbatted by Tris, he will have to keep hustling some. 11
