South Has Greatest Faith in the Rugged French Fighter
NEW ORLEANS WILL GO BROKE ON JOE MANDOT
By Ed. W. Smith.
IF the I.os Angeles followers of
Jose Rivers are prepared to
back their favorite to the limit
in the fight Labor day with Joe
Manoot 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 tn 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.
Manclot a Likely Winner.
Ami at this angle it looks more
as if Mandot had an excellent
chance of putting it over on Rivers
BILL SCHWA
TO LEAD
Nashville, tenn.. Aug. 24.
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-

in the Los Angeles battle a week
from Monday. Mar.dot 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-canntng 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 bel
le: 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 than 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 Teddy 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
tne team this year more than any
thing else.

Specific Blood Poison
Specific Blood Poison is the most insidious of all diseases. It begins
usually by a tiny sore which is the only outward evidence of its presence.
■ But down in the blood the treacherous poison is at work and in a short
! time its chain of symptoms begin to crop out. The mouth and throat ul
i cerate, skin eruptions break out, sores and ulcers appear on the body, the
’ i glands in the groin swell, and sometimes the hair comes out. Mineral

nation. 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
tents 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 so; the title. They are
looking for a iik“!y '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 first 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 26 or 25-
rounii affair out there, but the
weight naturally will stand in the
way.

Georgia military col
lege made a ten-strike
when they secured A. K.
! Maddox as athletic director, and
; alsdgprofessor of English, the com
ingwear. Maddox comes to G. M.
C. from the University 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 on 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
i 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 Cojfbh Cunningham se
lected him as his assistant and he
had made his plans to return to
college to take 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. U. team in shape
i 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 »>n the 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. C.. 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. <’.
Season Opens September 28.
Georgia will open the football
season by playing the freshman j
team against G. M. U. September 28.
Maddox lias coached the class
teams and lias the enviable record of |
always winning the class cham
pionship. He lias also been a mem
ber of the track team and has done
excellent work in putting the shot
and throwing the hammer. Also,
he lias played on the class baseball
teams, only a bad knee keeping him

Great Pitcher and Hard Slugger Prescription for a Pennant
WOOD AND SPEAKER HUB'S WINNING COMBINATION
By Monty.
MANY a pennant has been won
almost solely because of
the triumphant coupling of
some om great pitcher with some
one great batter, and the same can
be said of world's series. The

contributing to each victory, while
the star propeller has his work cut
out whenever one of the opposing
sides tough nuts come up to be
cracked.
It is Just such a combination of one
great hurler and one great slug
