BIVEBS‘ALIBI TOO
WEAK: BLAMES
"COITION
By Left Hook.
J OE RIVERS, the Mexican light
weight, who was decisively
trounced by Joe Maildot, the
South’s premier 183-pounder, In
Los Angeles Monday afternoon, and
those who make up his camp today
are trying to save their charge
from pugilistic ruin, and in their
endeavor they offer the WEAK alibi
that he wasn’t in condition when
he stepped out of his corner at the
call of time in the opening round.
It. is charged that for two days
before the battle tins Mexican min
gled with the gayi'ty of the world;
that he ate and drank of the fir
.bidden—-that is, the forbidden to a
man who is to wage battle and
that lie motored about until the
wee early hours of the morning.
Alibi Won’t Hold Up.
The alibi is extremely WEAK, for
Rivers fought hard and determined
ly throughout and. while he was a
bit weaker than his opponent at the
< lose, lie showed no Stgiis of a
youngster who had s|« nt revelsome
nights. H< went the full twenty
rounds and in the seventeenth had
foie, enough to almost put Maildot
away. The tt’ibi. which found its
way to tills city, goes to say that
up to Wedmu ay the Mexican was
in perfect > nditmti, but that fol
lowing that nay’s work in the gym
he ordered Ins auto fr< m its garage
and joy riding followed. The crow
ing of the cock gre ted the defeat
ed lightweight when he pulled in
for -a hit of sleep, we an told by
t'ne framers of the alibi. Strange,
indeed that’llli, clitics of Los An
geles, and tl.iy .t’l inn who know,
in their • riling-' et tin Mexican on
Sunday and t > a tile morning of
t'ne tight ’a ided him highly because
of liis wonderful condition.
Hundreds yes almost a thou
sandgathered is camp on Sun*
day to see him work, and his ap
p nance assured them that he was
a good'lll-to-6 favorite in the bet
ting. Apparently there was noth
ing wrong witli him then. Today
Manager Joe l evy is .ready to of
fer affidavit from a Log Angele®
druggist that Joe ent.-ted the drug
shop and secured bromo seltzer to
still a raging brain and that he has
proof that ills fighter was seen
speeding through thy streets of Los
Angeles as late or early take your
choke —as 4 o'clock in the morning,
seated between fluttering purple
veils We only recently read of
the quiet life that this Mexican was
leading but today they tell us In
Los Angeles that he is following
In the path which brought the rap
id downfall of Young t'orbett.
Seeks Return Fight
But from behind this alibi Riv
ers' voice is heard and he wants
another chance to rn!>--m himself
He says he wil take on Mandot at
any date that McCarty sees tit to
pick. But it's likily that tie will
have to step aside and permit Man

0 Game Lost, Locals Must Finish Last
Crackers Will Tackle Volunteers Again Today
Bv Percy H. Whiting.
TH E Southern League season
is narrowing down. When
today’s game is out of the
way but four more playing days
remain for Atlanta. Nashville will
furnish the opposition today and
tomorrow. Next Monday the
Chattanooga club opens here for
a three days’ stay. With Wednes
day’s game out of the way they'll
put up the shutters at Poncey
park, nail up tlie gates and heave
a sigh of relief—not unmingled
with sadness.
It has been an awful season.
There are those who, with a little
encouragement, will argue with you
as to whether this year or last
year was worse. Personally we
vote right now that this one was
the sadder of the two—and the
reason is that it gave so much
greater encouragement at the start.
♦ • »
zx NE thing is encouraging about
these closing days, and that is
that, thanks to the fact that no
Atlanta players bought under op
tional agreement were recalled and
that some of the new men look
promising, prospects for next year
aren’t half bad. Bill Smith will
have some real ball players left
over from this year’s club to be
gin on.
Atlanta fans ask no better first
baseman than Joe Agler, no better
second baseman and field captain
titan Whitey Alperman, and no
more promising recruit shortstop
than Harbison. Humpty McEl
veen has shown most marked im
provement of late and is going
strong. With the right sort of
start next spring lie is likely to de
velop into the fast, hard-hitting
third baseman of liis earlier days

in the Southern. Bailey is a good
enough outfielder for any man's
league. Reynolds, with the Smith
brand of coaching, will become a
catcher of real repute. Just what
Smith will make out of the pres
int pitching staff it would be
foolhardy to guess. But certainly
this youngster Price looks good.
He has "pep” and willingness, he
can bat and his first out as a pitch
er was promising. Becker is an
other man who may be a wonder
under Smith handling. And there's
no telling what Bill will be able
to do with the rest —but it might
he something big.
At a rough estimate not less
than seven of this year's tail-end
team should be good enough men
for a pennant winner next year.
(If course that means that Smith
will have to recruit eight more
good men from somewhere. But
Bill knows how. His big league
affiliations are strong. And he's
there all the way.
All in all. it doesn't look so bad
—for 1913, that is.

The drivers have established camps
'Cong tile course and will la-gin aetlxe

season and the Lookouts had to
lose every one if the Atlantans
w-ere to finish better than “abso
lutely.”
But Atlanta lost and Chattanoo
ga won. And the Crackers’ last
fond hope is gone. The rest of
the season is a mere matter of
marking time, with nothing to
win and very, very Jjttle to lose.
It was a fine, weird contest, this
"crucial game.” The Crackers un
deniably went out to win it. They
scored one in the second and one
in the third. Then they paused.
Schwartz's men tallied one in
the fourth, three in the fifth and
two in the sixth, picking up a four
run lead. Then they hesitated.
Whereupon the Crackers turned
loose all they had on Case and
lambasted itini from the pitching
eminence. Also they weren’t any
too gentle with his successor, the
diminutive Bair. And when the
merry-go-round stuff had ended
the score was again tied, 6 to 6.
The Vols were there with the
knockout puncit, however. Or at
any rate they were alert to take
advantage of the Cracker mis
plays. The game was wtin jn the
seventh. After Perry hail retired
Young laced out a triple. Lindsay
drew four sad ones and then a
double steal was advertised.
Catcher Reynolds answered with
a wild heave to second and Young
counted. That was enough to win,
as subsequent events proved; but
byway of cinching it Lindsay went
on to third w hen Harbison heaved
poorly in that direction and scored
when Elliott beat out an infield
hit.
It was a day of tremendous slug
ging. Daley, Elliott, Agler and
Alperman all laced the ball to good
advantage. -
APPALACHIAN PENNANT
CAPTURED BY BRISTOL
BRISTOL, VA„ Sept. 6—The Bris
tol team, of the Appalachian league,
has won the pennant. Although the
season does not close until tomorrow,
the Bristol team has a sufficient lead
to win regardless of the result of the
games to be played and despite the
fact that it lost both ends of a double
header at Johnson City yesterday.
The race for second place is be
tween Knoxville and Johnson City. The
Bristol club has led in the percentage
column since the first of the season
with the exception of one day. Bris
tol finished in the cellar last season.
Clarence H. Munson, of Cincinnati,
formerly of the Virginia and later of

team at the beginning this season

team of the local league.

CHIEF MEYERS OUT OF
GAME FOR ANOTHER WEEK
NEW YORK. Sept. 6. —Chief Mey

Giants during the past few days, is

The big redskin i« confined to his
home uptown as the result of, a sprain
of his toe. which he sustained in one
of th? B ooklyn games last week. He
is obliged to recline on a couch, with
his left leg plopped up on a pillowed
chair, and is scarcely able to hobble
two or three steps at a time.
“It's mighty tough to have to lie

ALABAMA ELEVEN
DOES NOT LOOK
PROMISING
y T t-NIVERSITY, Ala., Sept. 6
J I J With only four of last year’s
eleven back in college this
year so far, Alabama’s outlook for
the coming football year is by far
the most dismal that it has been
for several years.
As yet only Captain Moody. Mc-
Dowell, A. Vandegraaf and H. Van
degraaf (Little Tandy) have re
ported. However, Wilkinson, of
the 1910 team, Is back In school, as
is Barnes, ailso of the 1910 squad:
Jones, a freshman last year, but who
was to light and inexperienced to
make the squad in is back,
and has gained more weight and
will probably be placed at right
end. replacing Bumgardner, who
w-ill not return. Gibbons and
Gandy, both heavy men. but un
able to deliver the goods last year,
will be formidable men for the.
line.
Coach Graves, who only return
ed last night from the West, where
he has been playing baseball dur
ing the summer, wil! as yet vouch
no prophecy as to the chances of
the defenders of the crimson and
white for the coming year, only
that "Alabama will be in the run
ning.”
As the university has only just
opened, a great deal of raw ma
terial is yet expected in the late
arrivals. Alabama will feel keenly
the loss of Keller and Olorfein,
guards; Countess and Powell, tack
les; Bumgardner, end, and Heard
and Harsh, backfield.
