MORRIS TO GIVE
EXHIBITION JI
CLUB TOOM
CARL MORRIS, who is going to
meet Jack Keating, Canadian
heavyweight, at the Dixie
Athletic club tomorrow night, is
going to give an entertainment this
afternoon at the club free to mem
bers. At 2:30 o’clock lie will start
an hour’s program, which will con
sist of the usual stunts a fighter
goes through the last day of his
training, including ten or twelve
rounds of sparring with his part
ners and two local boys.
The big white hope looks to be in
good condition, and he figures that
he will put the Canadian away in
about five or six rounds.
“1 don't know much about Keat
ing," said -Morris this morning, “but
1 understand he weighs 228 pounds.’
if this is so, he will drop heavy
when 1 poke the old sleep producer
across. You know what Joe Wal
cott said: 'The heavier they are,
the harder they go down.’ ”
There are two other bouts on the
card tomorrow night that should
furnish plenty of excitement. In
the tirst one Ed Hanlon ties up
with .Mike Saul. Michael is the
boy with the big slam, and if he
should happen to place it on his op
ponent’s jaw it will all be over.
But Hanlon Is said to be a very
clever boxer, and Mike may have
some trouble getting it over.
In the other bout, Mayer Pries
and Kid Shanley will hold the spot
light. There will also be a battle
royal.
STALLINGS PLANS TO
USE DEVLIN AT FIRST
BOSTON, Nov. 11.—George Stallings,
the new manager of the Boston Nation
als. Is dividing his time between New
York and Boston. He has been in close
touch with <owner Jim Gaffney for three
weeks, and has lines out for a lot of
young players. Startings expects to
make some deals at the league meeting
in December. It is probable that Ar
thur Devlin will play first base for the
Braves next season, 'and that Arthur
Bites, the slugging third baseman from
Buffalo, will cow the far corner. Hues
is the young man McGraw turned over
to Stalling* 'ast spring The New York
cluli did not exercise its option on
Bueti, and Boston claimed him.

Thompson, who declares he never

Intoxicating liquors, has come out flat
footedly on the subject. .<nd hereafter
there w ill be nothing doing.
Coach Joe says: "It is very rarely
that one finds a student addicted to the
use of cigarettes or alcohol who has
become a successful athlete. Ciga
rettes shorten the wind and rob the
young man of that ambition and keen
ness of mind which are absolutely es

Twenty-Five Greatest Southern League Players
.>*4.
No. 10--■ ‘Cupid* Childs Didn’t Look Like a Player
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
HE looked less like a ball play
er than any man who ever
cavorted for the populace of
Dixie and he came mighty near
being as great an athlete as ever
pulled on a pair of spiked shoes.
And his name was Clarence.
The past tense in the aforegoing
sentence is used advisedly. For not
lunger ago than Saturday there
were obscure paragraphs in the pa
pers telling that Clarence L. (Cu
pid) Childs had passed from this
world.
It will never be known whether
his physical being or the name his
parents gave him was the greater
handicap to Childs, but, despite the
face that he was built like a bar
rel and bore an appellation that
stands next to Algernon in the es
timation of the jokesmiths, Childs
rose to a point where he was at
one time considered the greatest
second baseman in the game.
Veteran When He Came South.
He was on the down grade when
lie came to the Southern league, but
even down here ever and anon he
would show a flash of his old form
that made even the ranks of Tus
cany unable to keep back their
cheers.
CLUB MEMBERS KICK: ARE
CROWDED OFF OWN LINKS
LONDON. Nov. 11. —The Royal and
Ancient Golf < "tub of St. Andrews has
become dissatisfied with the treatment
dealt out to it by the town council, and
members say that unless their griev
ances arc remedied they' will have to
acquire another course.
Complications have arisen because
there are two golf courses at St. An
drews. which are kept up by the club
at Die expense of many thousands of
‘ dollars a year, the public having the
right to play on the old course all the
year round and on the new course ex-
• cept during July. August and Septum-
• tier, when the charge is a shilling a

that Harry Sallee would be called

man with a face as red as any bull
teaser could have desired.
Childs would have looked just as
natural as life with a white apron
and jacket behind a bar, but it was
difficult to conceive how he could
carry his avoirdupois over a ball lot
with enough speed to intercept a
ball going at even a rate as slow
as the coming of reward for De

His every appearance on the Held

But Childs’ fat was deceiving.
There was a lot of strength in his
lumpy form. He could move as
fast as the most sinuous athlete
and knew more about infield play
probably than any man who ever
performed in a minor league.
To add to his grotesque appear

face with mud before taking his

has gone to Milwaukee to confer with
his new manager. George Stallings.

Pitcher James, of Seattle, who won
26 and lost 8 games this seasc.n. He
gave up $5,000 for this man. He lias
also bought Gervais from the Coast.
This man in 42 games gave only 8
bases on balls.
AL BRIDWELL COMING
SOUTH FOR LONG HUNT
BOSTON. Nov. 11.—Al Bridwell is
going South for a month's hunting,
probably on and near the farm of Hub
Perdue, at Gallatin. Tenn.
Brid is in better shape than he has
been in a couple of years. His Injured
foot, which kept him out of the game
for a long time last season, is com
pletely healed, and he will be ready for
a big season in 1913.
Brid is delighted with the choice of
George Stallings as manager of the
Boston club, and looks for him to build
up a winning aggregation in time. The
trip to the South will bring Bridwell
into familiar territory, for he used to
play in the Southern league.

Came to Southern in 1903.
He remained witty Cleveland until
titat old combination was shattered.
He then drifted into the minors and
in 1903 came to the Southern
league.
When he first came lie played
like a demon, but he, too, had been
fighting the demon rum and his
flash did not last. After one season
he drifted away, unnoticed and un
sung. though he hit better than
.300 in this company.
He probably passed, as lots of
other 'good fellows" of the dia
mond have passed, alone, penniless,
miserable; but he could have boast
ed and there would be none to con
tradict. He made himself famous
as an athlete while bearing the
name of "Clarence.” t
