BOOSTS WORK
OF JOHNSTON
The New York Evening Journal
baseball expert, Harry Glaser, who
follows the Yankees, was highly
impressed with the showing Doc
Johnston, the former Pelican first
baseman, made on his fi'st ap
pearance with the Cleveland Naps
in Gotham. Here is what he had
to say about Charley Frank's for
mer star:
By Harry Glaser.
IN Doe Johnston, who made his
first appearance on the Hilltop
yesterday in a Cleveland uni
form. Harry Davis seems to have
found the player he has ■'• arched for
•h season. The first base position
Caused the Cleveland leader no end
of worry. He tried out innumer
able- men, including Hohnhorst,
Birmingham and Griggs, but none
of the candidates took care of the
corner in a satisfactory manner.
At one time Davis was so hard
pressed that he had to use Lajoie
at the initial sack, taking him
away from the keystone, where he
has starred for years.
Johnston succeeded Griggs about
a week ago, being purchased from
the New Orleans club, and has since ,
played so well that Manager Davis
believes .he has at last found the
right man for the job. He took a
leading part in preventing the
Yankees from winning yesterday.
The former Pelican made three hits
in five trips to the plate, being re
sponsible for half the runs scored
by the Naps. Os their eight tallies
he drove in three and scored one
himself. It was his triple that :
brought home Lajoie with the ty
ing count in the ninth. He also
played & fine defensive game. In
the fourth he stopped Paddock's
hot smash that looked good for a :
hit. and beat the ranchman in a
sprint to the bag. There wore sev
eral other fine plays made by him.
Johnston played with the Peli
cans for the past few years, and
has been sought by a number of
big league managers. Prank Chance
tried to get him last season.
Hughey Jennings had an option on
him at the time, but failed to exer- 1
else it after Gainor came to the
Tigers. The Cleveland club then
made a bid for him and he joined
the Naps a few weeks ago.
The reeruit has plenty of speed,
is a splendid fielder and a heavy I
hitter. There is only one weakness |
that he is said to have; that is. he i
can’t hit well against southpax*,
but Davis thinks he can help him
■X-orcomo i his failing.
ONLY ONE BOAT FINISHES
IN HARMSWORTH TRIALS
HUNTINGTON, N. Y.. Aug. 30.—Al
though five motorboats crossed the
starting line at intervals in the third
elimination race of the series for the |
selection of defenders of the Harms
worth cup. only one, the Restless 11,
owned by T. P. Chesebrough, completed
the full course of 30 miles. One other,
the Peter Pan V. owned by James Simp,
son. of New York, a new candidate for
the. defense honors, covered the course
three times, making the second best
time so far made for the distance—
-22 1-2 miles. Her time was 38 minutes
43 seconds, an average of 34.86 knots, or
40.08 statute miles an hour. The Baby
Reliance II on Monday covered the same
distance in one minute and 50 seconds
better time. ,
The Restless II covered the full course
in t hour. 6 minutes, this being an aver
age speed of 27.55 knots, or 31.68 miles
an hour.
The Minnow, Saracen and the Tech.
Jr., the latter a promising boat entered
by T. C. DuPont, started but broke
down.

middle-distance swimmers in the country '

MARATHON WINNER TO
COME TO U. S. TO RACE
NKW YORK, Aug 30.—Kennedy Kane
McArthur. winner of the Olympic mara
thon at Stockholm, will, of course, come
to America to show his prowess. He has
not yet announced the date of his com
ing. but who over heard of a policeman I
turning down a chance to grab 10.000 “si- i
moleons" with little or no work, especially
when there is no chance for a sequel in
the form of an investigation?
McArthur has heard of the easy money
that Dorando picked up here four years
ago, and likewise he remembers that
Dorando was not even a marathon win
ner; that he collapsed before the finish.
He has not overlooked with what ease
Hackenschmidt, Mahmout, Zybszko and
other foreign wrestlers raked in the coin
while on American soil. Finally he still
has in mind the fact that Bombardier
Wells. Owen Moran. Matt Wells and
English pugs have found this a
mighty fine field for their operations.
ABE ATTELL TO FIGHT
IN NEW YORK RING AGAIN
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—Abe Aitell.
former featherweight champion, has ad
vised his New York manager that he is
ready to leave the Pacific coast for this
city. Arrangements are being made for
a ten-round bout between Attell and
some local lightweight star, to be staged
in Madison Square Garden early next
month. This will be Attell's first ap
pearance in this state since he was sus
pended by the boxing commission for
six months last February for bis much
talked-of bout with K. O. Brown.

2JIEATLAXTA GEORGIAN AND NEM’S. FRIDAY. AUGUST :in. 1912
BUTLER WILL TAKE
GILBERT,GLENN AND
ROBERTS TO ROME
Tommy Butler, the popular motorcy
cle exponent, is going to take a rat
tling crew of drivers to Rome Friday
night for the big Labor day races there.
He has secund Hal Gilbert. Harrv
Glenn and Ollie Roberts, the three best
men in the South. All three will be
mounted on Excelsiors. In a match race
for "sixes" all three will ride, while
Roberts will also run a "four" in an
other event.
Gilbert cleaned up at the race meet
held in Rome a few weeks ago, and he
is a big card there. H<> broke the track
record by two seconds. He is confident
that, now that he knows the course bet
ter. lie will be able to clip some time off
his own mark But he will find Glenn
and Roberts right at his heels all the
" a y.
Butler is the one active member of
the Atlanta Motorcycle club who is
working “twenty-five hours a day" to
get tlie Piedmont park track for races,
and he lias the park board "winging"
his way. He figures that if Rome is al
lowed to hold races it is an insult to
Atlanta if they can't at least have the
same rights as their little up-state town.

Griffith Turns Down
McAleer’s $50,000 Bid
For Walter Johnson
Boston. Aug. 30. lames ’l’. McAleer.
president of the Red Sox, has offered $50.-
000 cash for Walter Johnson, the Sena
tors* wonderful pitcher. That shows just
how much President McAleer wants to
win the world's series.
McAleer. with Ban Johnson and Clark
Griffith and a number of other friends,
was dining at a club in Washington. The
talk was baseball and McAleer finally
looked at Griffith and said:
"UH give you $50,000 for Johnson, and
you turn him over to me tomorrow. Here
is a thousand dollars right here to bind
the agreement.**
“Are you kidding me?** was the replj
of the Senators* manager.
“No. Um not kidding."' replied McAleer
Here is the thousand «»n the table”
Griffith refused to consider the offer.
Jim Flynn and Charlie Miller are both
hard at work for their Labor day fight in
San Francisco. Flynn is not taking any
chances of not training properly for the
big “hope” as he realizes a defeat at the
hands of the former street car man
would pul him down and out.

A LITTLE JOURNEY
TO THE HOME OF
JOHN B. STETSON
A Fascinating and Inspiring Story
It deals with one of the great business men of America. A man
who made a great sucess in his business, and some money, and yet,
in the doing of it was steadily building an institution that blesses
the thousands of its employees by making them happy and prosper
ous.
A man can do his best work only when he is happy, and when he
is sharing in the general prosperity of the business.
Every one who reads the “Little Journey’’ to the home of this
great business man, will be surprised and gratified to know that the
institution founded by Stetson for making hats, has been equally suc
cessful in making men.
That Stetson makes the best hats in the world is a generally rec
ognized fact, and much credit is due to his human sympathy and his
comprehensive plans.
At our request, several thousands of these books have been
mailed in Georgia. If you have not received a copy, and would like
to read this inspiring story, we will gladly give you a copy compli
mentary. This can be secured by either writing for it or calling in
