Tom Jones Sees Little Danger Ahead for His Cadillac Gladiator WOLGAST’S MANAGER CAILS LIGHTWEIGHTS EASY By Ed. W. Smith. C HR'AGO, Sept. 13.—Tom Jones, manager of Ad Wolgast, sees little in sight to seriously threaten the present standing of the Cadillac gladiator. Indeed, the champion is to have some easy picking for the next six or eight months if he retains his physical condition and nothing fur ther happens to him. Jones always has his fingers crossed when he speaks about the future, because the lightweight champion is re garded now as the most unlucky man in the business. Thomas Edward has canvassed the -filiation pretty thoroughly. He remained over in Los Angeles, de spite urgent calls from Cadillac for his presence, to see the Mandot- Rivers battle and figure out the chance of Mandot against Wol gast. Bets Heavily on Mandot. Also T. Edward had his eye on the main chance by wagering *1,500 on the French boy against Rivers, outside of the affair at Reno over two years ago. Jonesey has not booked a loser of any consequence. Hence he was feeling pretty good when he left for Cadillac. He had a , lot of ’hings to say about the lightw ight class outside of Packey McFarland. "It makes me laugh to see some of the lightweights fight,” Jones said. "Why, Wolgast can whip both Rivers and - Mandot inside of THE BASEBALL CARD. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today. Atlanta in Memphis.

I was merely taking a chance that the other fellow was. He proved to be good enough to whip Rivers all the way, just as I told Joe Levy he would. Joe knew I was betting on Mandot. and he couldn't understand why. Levy Makes Bad Mistake. "You see, Joe made a mistake in taking that match. Rivers had a lot of prestige because of the reported doubtful ending of his match with Wolgast. He shouldn't have rushed bim into a meeting that would take all the glamour away from him. He should have taken easier meat - . "They are talking about Wolgast ciawfishing when McFarland's name is spoken. That's ridiculous. Wolgast is the most fearless man ever known to the ring. Let me tell you a little incident that hap pened three days before the Riv ers match. Ad mashed his left thumb so badly in training that it looked as if he simply couldn't get into the ring. We talked it over, and I was for calling off the match or postponing it indefinitely. Be tween us we had close to *12,000 bet on the fight, but I was for los ing this rather than risk a licking. Refuses To Call It Off. ‘ ‘Call off nothing,’ Wolgast told me. '1 can beat him with one hand!' Mind you. he had a broken CARL MORRIS WAVERING BETWEEN CAB AND RING SAPI’LPA, OKLA..Sept . 13.—Carl Mor ris, the big engineer, is hesitating be tween the prize ring and the Frisco loco motive. He is in receipt of many offers from big promoters in the fight game, some of them proposing handsome guar tees and percentages of gate receipts. Alex McLean, of the Pilgrim Athletic Athletic club m Boston, makes an aluring offer and requests that Carl meet either Bombardier Wells or Al I'alzer during Oc tober. The big Frisco and Los Angeles clubs are also bidding for Morris. “The big promoters appear to think I am still a ‘live one’ and 1 feel encour aged over it. i am today a better man than I ever thought of being and in my next bouts I hope to demonstrate this fact. The tight game looks good to me, but the Frisco locomotive is a sure win ner.” INDEFINITE’SUSPENSION FOR JENNINGS AND VITT DETROIT, Sept. 13. — Manager Hugh Jennings and Oscar Vitt, of the De troit American league baseball team, have received suspension notices from President Johnson, as the result of their conduct in Wednesday's game with Philadelphia. Umpire Connolly ordered Jennings off the field, when the manager pro tested a decision, and later in the game Umpire Hart treated Vitt, who had been coaching, in the same man ner. The length of the suspensions has not been learned. TIGERS PRACTICING NOW ON OPEN STYLE OF PLAY PRINCETON, N. J.. Sept. 13.—From the system of practice which Coach Cunningham has inaugurated for Princeton it begins to look as though the Tigers are going.to depend almost entirely on the open style of game. Half a dozen men are practicing punts daily, while another squad is put at plucking the leather from the ground while on the run. ■ /a F XA ' ffw TAKE OFF YOUR HAT TO THESE!

That's the way he fought, and he whipped Rivers with his right hand and whipped him good. too. ‘‘Mandot. Ritchie. Murphy and the rest of them will go the same way when it comes to fighting over a distance of ground. So would McFarland if he ever gets into the ring to go twenty rounds with Wol gast. "Eastern bouts are not as attrac tive to us as the style of battling out on the Pacific coast. We had a half a dozen standing offers out there to go for the big dough. They seem to think in New York that •an offer of $15,000 ought to make Wolgast jump with joy. Why. he’s been getting that much for his fights for the last two years on the coast. “McCarey once threatened to bar us from the coast rings because I called one of his offers a joke. Yet when 1 landed there he was the first to meet me and inside of an hour we clinched up the Rivers match. He guaranteed me $15,000 and 48 per cent of the gross re ceipts. And the upshot of it was that McCarey cleared $17,000 out of the battle—for himself. You see. promoters out there know Wolgast will draw the money. That’s why t hoy'll give him big guarantees. Never yet has one of them had to dig to make up any deficit in Wol gast battles.” CRACKERS OPEN TODAY FOR CLOSING SERIES Tito Crackers left Atlanta yesterday for their final trip and open in Memphis today. Thej will play at Red Elm to day, Saturday and Sunday. The Crackers, will disband after the game Sunday. Some of them will re turn to Atlanta before departing for their home cities, but most of them will leave direct for their homes from Mem phis. Charles Alperman. the manager of the club and the man who will prob ably be field leader of the Crackers under Billy Smith nettt season, will no doubt return here, and will probably take up his permanent residence here for the winter.

ALABAMA RIFLE TEAM PRAISED 8F WEISS MONTGOMERY. ALA, Sept 13. Efferverscing with a description of the brilliant record made by the Alabama rifle team at S< r cirt. Lieutenant Colo nel W. Wkrs, of Montgomery, who coached the team to its success, has just returned to the city, the first one of the squad to reach home from the New Jersey range. "Alabama showed up better than ever before,” said Colonel "Weiss. "We kept up our climbing record and fin ished fourth, the highest we have ever stood heetofore. The marine corps beat us by only two points. Our ag giegate score was. as I recall. 2,640. while the marine corps was 2.642. We beat states that we never dreamed of distancing. "Four members of the Alabama team were held Jn the final try-out for the national team to go to Ottawa, Canada, to compete for the Palmer trophy. 1 have noticed since leaving Seagirt that Sergeant H. F.-Teat, of the Montgom ery True Blues, was the only one of the four to make the national team and this is quite an honor. The other three who tried out in the finals were Sergeant E. H. Pope, of the Blues; Lieutenant T. C. Locke, Montgomery, on the staff of the Second regiment, and Captain Mell D. Smith, of Bir mingham, unassigned.” Sergeant Teat has already gone to Ottawa with the national team. The Alabama team consisted of fif teen shooters and six officers in charge of various branches of work. The com manding officer was Adjutant General J. B. Scully, who went to New York after the Seagirt shoot broke up. He is expected to retain to Montgomery in a few days. The Alabama team was at Seagirt three weeks. While there General Scully gave assurance that the rifle range at Montgomery would be over hauled immediately and rifle practice held on a larger scale than ever, as the war department is demanding It.

Do vou know of another lad seventeen years of age who has fought all the champions in his class, figured In over 30 battles and was knocked down but once and has never yet lost a decision? That's the record of this youngster. And just remember that the same steady, industrious work done by this youngster in any honorable line of endeavor would have made a much greater man of him. He is a college boy, and until last year attended regularly. The fight ing bug was born in young John, and. try as they might, the family could never kill It. Big Jawn sent the lad to college, but he hhd a hankering to fight, and at the age of sixteen won the amateur ban tam title at the A. A. U. Jawn opened the American Boxing duh in Phllly, and there the younger aid, anxious to see the bouts, agreed to work in the box office for his ad mission fee. There is a law in Phllly which states that the names of all con testants must be handed into the police 24 hours before any con test. The management this night, of course, handed in the names, but, not being sure of the prelimi nary boys showing up. wrote in the names of some actor friends—Ed die Foy, Pat Rooney, Victor Moore, George Cohan and Fred Stone.
