MORRIS TO GIVE
EXHIBITION AT
GLOB TODAY
«
C ARL MORRIS, who is going to j
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 he will start
an hour's program, which will con
sist of the usual stunts a lighter
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.
"I don't know much about Keat
ing,” said Morris this morning, "but
I understand he weighs 228 pounds.
If this is so, he will drop heavy
when I 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. Tn
the first 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.

Braves next season, ami that Arthur
Hues, the slugging third baseman 'Tom
Buffalo, will cover tile fat corner. Bites

to Stallings last spring. The New York
club did not exercise its option on I
Hues, and Boston claimed him.

Twenty-Five Greatest Southern League Players

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
longer 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
he came to the Southern league, but
even down here ever and anon he
would show a flash of his old form
that made oven the ranks of Tus
can} unable to keep back their
cheers.
CLUB MEMBERS KICK: ARE
CROWDED OFF OWN LINKS
LONDON, Nov. 11.—The Royal and
Ancient Golf Club 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 are 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 the 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 Septem*
her, when the charge is a shilling a
day.
Many golfers go to St. Andrews, and
players have to give their names to a
committee the evening before, and the
order o' play is decided by ballot.
This year the old course has been
closed for almost the entire season on
account of its bad condition, due to the
great amount of play thereon, and In
consequence there have betn still great
er crowds on the new cmrsc. and mem
bers of th" club have had hardly any
j chance to play.

NEW YORK. Nov. 11. Judging from
the big averages that are being torn off
by exi'-’ts who will compete here this
week in tile 18.2 balk line champion
ship billiard tournament, some records
may go by the boards when the tour
nament wears down to the tinals.
In Pittsburg the other day Ora
Morningstar averaged better than 90 in
a 700-point game, and George Sutton

It was just as certain that he
would be named "Cupid” as it was
that Harry Sallee would be called
"Silin.” Chjlds was a little, fat
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 field
was the signal for the wit of the

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

Childs , was a Southerner by
birth, some little North Carolina
hamlet having produced him. He
got his baseball start in the eigh
ties in the Carolina league, but
soon graduated to the majors,
where he joined the Cleveland Spi
ders, and for years he was a mem
ber of that famous team that num
bered the Tebeau brothers, Chief
Zimmer, Cy Young, Cuppy, Zeke
Wilson et al.
Came to Southern in 1903.
He remained with Cleveland until
that old combination was shattered.
He then drifted into the minors and
in 1903 came to the Southern
league.
When he first came he 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
