right, Chief."
The question of batting and
pitching as the means of making a ,
winning club will naturally arise in
the fan’s mind. That leads to
arguments which would take up
columns of space. I will not enter
into such arguments.
Being a hitter and not a pitcher,
I think that for my own part I
would rather have a ball club of
good, free-swinging, hard-hitting
fellows which would roll up a lot
of runs than a team which had
two or three cracking good pitch
ers who could hold the other fel
lows down to a very few runs.
Runs, after all, are what count
in the game, you know. With my’
club sending over six or eight or
more in a game, I think I’d rather
trust to a middle-class pitcher—
and good fielding—to keep the
other fellows from scoring so
many.
WOMEN APPLAUD
■N M GOODLY
STOPSJITON
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—Eddie
McGoorty, of Oshkosh, is
sued today formal claim to
the middleweight championship as
the result of his victory over Jack
Harrison, middleweight champion
of England, by the knockout route
at Madison Square Garden last
night.
This was the premier appear
ance in this country of Harrison,
who is the holder of the Lonsdale
belt. It required 2 minutes and
54 seconds for the Western fighter
to turn the trick with a hook to
the jaw.
Among the spectators wore a
number of fashionably dressed
women who applauded each knock
down with great enthusiasm.
Recently McGoorty knocked out
Dave Smith, middleweight cham
pion of Australia.
In the second main bout Mike
Gibbons, the welterweight cham
pion, beat Tommy Maloney easily
on points.
McGoorty opened up with a right
and left to the face, then stag
gered the Englishman with a left
hook on the jaw. Keeping his man
continually’ on the defensive, he
sent right and left blows to the
head and, after a smashing right to
the face and a right uppercut under
the chin, he hooked Harrison's jaw
with his left, sending him down for
a count of nine.
The Englishman got up groggy,
and McGoorty, after landing three
rights and three lefts on the head,
with another left hook put him
down again for the count of nine.
The same blow a few seconds later
sent Harrison to the floor for the
third time, when he was counted
out.

National League Wants to Dethrone Its President
Tom Lynch Is Made a “Goat” by Owners of Clubs
By W. J. Mcßeth.
THERE is room for doubt as
to whether the world's
championship series is a
good thing for the game. Base
ball is public confidence —no more,
no less. It is w’hat the public has
made it. •
Intricate organization to the con
trary notwithstanding, its life is
hanging by the thread of public
approval. It has taken years and
years of encouragement, whole
souled purpose and struggle to
place the nation's summer pastime
upon its present exalted pedestal.
And yet one wave of doubt would
sweep away the apparent firm
foundation like chaff before a gale.
Baseball is an institution. It is
a genuine, blue-blooded, clean and
invigorating sport. Firmly estab
lished, It will endure as long as the
American race. It will endure—
DEPEND ON GRIFF AND
MACK TO TRAIN BOSTON
Boston, sept. 24.—Jim Mc-
Aleer, president and part
owner of the Boston Red
Sox and father of the All-Star se
ries project, the move that put the
Athletics on edge to defeat the
Chicago Cubs In 1910 and the New
York Giants in 1911, says that it
is up to the Red Sox brother clubs
to put them right for the forthcom
ing clash with the Giants.
McAleer hopes and believes that
each and every club will put forth
its best efforts to help condition
the Red Sox for the fight, victory
in which means continued prestige
for the American league.
He says every manager owes It
to himself, the Red Sox and the
league to send his best line
up, including his s’.ongest pitch
ing. against the Boston Speed
Boys, especially in the last half
dozen games of the season.
The Red Sox still have a dozen
games to play, with one more
Yankee game they can play if they
care to do so.
In the final two series of the
season, three games at Washing
ton. September 28 and 30 and Oc
tober 1, and three games at Phila
delphia, October 3, 4 and 5. Man
ager Stahl’s boys want Connie
Mack and Clark Griffith to dish up
their very best opposition.
They ask nothing more than to
but maybe not in the professional
sense. That remains with the
powers which control the profes
sion. Here we are several weeks
away from the classic close of the
season and already there has arisen
a stench of scandal.
Charles Webb Murphy, president
of the Chicago Cubs, appears to be
a hard loser. He has questioned
the integrity of the game from
which he ran a shoestring into mil
lions of dollars. He charges w hole
sale collusion among the clubs of
the National league—a conspiracy
to discriminate against Chicago in
favor of the champion Giants. Few
among his associates have escaped
the vltuperous tongue of the chesty
little Windy City magnate. He
has even assailed the honor of
Thomas J. Lynch, the man that he
himself advanced in compromise as
president of the National league.
Had Murphy’s ravings stopped
be pitted against Walter Johnson,
Bobby Groom and Tom Hughes in
Washington and Jack Coombs,
Chief Bender and Eddie Plank in
Philadelphia.
Inasmuch as McAleer's All-Stars
of 1910 and 1911 did much to prime
the Athletics for their settoes
which resulted In such glorious
triumphs, it is up to Connie Mack
and his players to pay off part of
the debt by reciprocating In like
form.
FINEST DENTAL WORK
AT LOWEST PRICES
There is no finer dental work done
anywhere than by the Atlanta Dental
Parlors, yet prices here are so low- as
to astonish those who have been pay
ing the usual dentist’s charges.
This is due partly to an immense
volume of practice that makes possi
ble a very small profit on each Indi
vidual case, partly to the very fine,
modern equipment and partly to the
fact that this establishment wishes to
make lasting friends of its patients
Thousands of pleased patients are
walking, talking advertisements for the
Atlanta Dental Parlors. They would
not send their friends here if they had
been overcharged or had been given
inferior service.
The entrance to tihs handsomest den
tal establishment in the South is at

with or concerning himself, little
damage would have been done.
People have become used to Mur
phy. What he says goes in one
ear and out the other. But, like
the whinings of a w’hipped cur, his
yelps got onto the nerves of his
associates. Bickerings back and
forth aroused the latent petty jeal
ousies and hatreds of former days.
The whole National league was
taken by the ears until now no one
knows kin or foe. But Murphy es
capes It all. Tom Lynch Is the
"goat.”
The National league is after
Lynch's scalp, according to the
best informed authorities. Each
of the several club owners has
picked his candidate for the berth.
The present executive’s strength
lies in the dissension that divides
his house. It will take a majori
ty vote to unseat him, and by the
present signs and tokens the old
major body will never be able to
get together to frame a majority
vote for twenty years. Tn such
case, Lynch would do well to stick
around just for spite. He is tired
of the job and he doesn't need the
pin money the National league
pays its president. If Lynch steps
down and out, it will be the Na
tlonal league’s loss.
Be that as it may, the house
cleaning should start nearer the
ground floor. Charles Webb Mur
