Til K ATLANTA (IKOKdlAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30. 1913.
B\ Percy H. Whiting.
T HK Atlanta club bought a cou
ple of players out of the Kitty
League last seaaon. And with
all due regard for the general sit
uation of the citrus crop they were
the finest lemons ever gathered .since
the anti-boob law went into effect.
At tlie same time the ('rackets
were garnering those wonder per
formers, Lyons and Johnson, the Vol
unteer club bought a young hurlsr
from Hendersonville. He was a skin
ny, unimpressive looking youth, *o
slab-sided and paaty-faeed that up
in the Young Cat League they called
him “Bilious" Beck.
AUanta’n Kitty graduates are gone
now—whither or whence no man list
eth end no man gives a hang. But
Nashville has hung onto this Be- :
lad. And to-day he leads the South
ern League hurlers with five straight
victories to his credit. He copped off
the last one yesterday, at the expense
of the faltering (’rackera, 2 to 0.
• * *
B ECK’S start in the high life of Hu
South almost equals that of A1
Demaree’s famous get-away, last
year—a start that gave A1 enough
impetus to reach the big leagues.
In five games he has allowed six
runs.
In five'games he has allowed JO
hits—an average of five to the game.
Three times, April 12, April 17 and
April 21, he won 2 to 2. His last two
games have been shut outs.
And never lived a lad who showed
less stuff to the naked eye.
When Beck begins to warm up he
works like an outfielder. He has no
more wind-up than a marble statue,
He grabs the ball and throws it
ihat’s all. You keep wondering when
he’s going to throw’ one hard. But
he never does.
Beck make, no effort at strikeouts.
He .lust lets ’em hit. The fielders d<
the rest. And hand this one to the
Sohwartssies—those bullies can sure'j
field that ball.
flight now Beck looks like tlie BIG
pitching find of the season. He is
mighty small to be a successful buri
al*—but they can’t beat him, and
that’s what he Is paid for- paid al
least $125 a month, 1 have no doubt.
• • •
B RADY probably considered himself
. a somewhat abused man to lose
that ball game. He allowed seven
ft ft a—never more than one* to an in
ning. save just once. He walked only
•four men and only one of the four

'behind him the club that tlie records

Toward the end *f the old bi’l
‘grime ihe Crackers threatened noisi
ly a couple of times. In the sixth the
Crackers made two hits and had
Welchonce, the league's best hitter
1n 1912, at bat. And nothing came of

* * *
r you ask Bill Smith what hap
pened to his ball club he will lay
-the blame chiefly to the injury o’
Bailey. The* outfielder lias a bad!}
sprained foot and will be out of the
game two weeks perhaps.
“If we’d had old Bailey In there
with his hitting.” says Bill, “wed
sure have—” and then he just groans.
* • *
O ILL SCHWARTZ believes ho ha*
a pretty good ball club. ”\Ya’t
’till we get hitting." says Bill. “We’ll
show ’em.”
“My pitching staff.” says the “Boy
Manager" of the Y’ols, "is better than
Bill Smith’s—which isn’t saying >
much either. My team can field. If
we get hitting the> will never head
us.”
Schwartz stuck in Young yesterday
io gel the benefit of His hitting an -
“Del” managed to deliver one sin
gle and to walk once. James has
been in a batting slump and unless
he shows signs of hitting may no;
he put back In the old ball game
* * *
IT is worth noting that the three
* defeats by Nashville carried the
Orackers out of tlie leaerte lead—a
position they have occupied since the
season started.
JOE WOOD MAY BE OUT OF
GAME FOR THREE WEEKS
WASHINGTON. April !8.—"Smoky
Joe” Wood, Boston's champion pitch
er. may be out of the game for three
weeks.
He will certainly be unable to plu/
this week. The Injury to hie thumb,
while not saripu*. is of such a nature,
however, that if he tries to use his
pitching hand before it is healed his
twirling may be affected all season, to
the great lose of the world’s cham
pions.
This discovery was made yesier-
lay by a surgeon who examined
Wood. While Joe’s thumb is only
helpless from a bad sprain, it is be
lieved that the injury is almost as
bad as if the member had been
broken.

’COLUMN-
S IX AUK*rlcun light,weight* arc named In n challenge issued t)\ Freddie
Welsh through hi* manager. Hurrj I’vllok, jesfeday. The Hnglisb
champion, who has beaten the lightweight title holders of England,
Australia and France, and who gut a twenty-round decision over Willie
Ititchle. the present world's champion liefore Hie latter defeated Ad Wol-
gast. names his prospective opponents in lids order:
Leach Cross, .lack Britton, Tommy Murphy, .loe Rivers. Willie Ritchie
and Packey McFarland.
II is a case of money with tlie British champion, as it is with all boxers.
He has no feeling of enmity toward any of Hie boxers named, but he confi
dently lielieves that he can whip them all. which will justify his claim to
the world’s championship. Furthermore. Welsh is prepared to make 133
pounds ringside for ail lmf McKurland. who can get a match at 135 pounds
scaling at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
Welsh defeated Cross on points several years ago when Leach wasn’t
an experienced lightweight. Cross lias made rapid strides in the past
year, and Welsh lielieves a ism I with Ihe dentist will draw a big gate.
As for Rivers. Manager Pollok writes that the Mexican's manager had
refused $5,000 to box Welsh in New York, saying that he preferred a twenty-
round battle on tlie coast.
‘■Rivers is afraid,” continues Welsh’s manager. "If lie will box my man
ten rounds in New York we will agree to go to California and bet our share
of tiie bout on tlie result of a twenty round encounter. Rivers has pocketed
nearly $10,000 for meeting Cross and lie owes 11 to the New York sporting
public to accept Welsh's challenge.’’
Champion Ritchie ha* been dodging all challengers for many weeks
lieenii.se lie is making cosey coin on the stage. Rut Welsh now offers to
let him name tlie weight conditions. Welsh and Ritchie, if they should
clash in a ten round bout in New York, it would provide a real world’s
championship match, which, in the opinion of boxing managers, would draw'
at least $,*10,1 Nkl. Ritchie’s mentor, Hilly Nolan, will find it difficult to side
step Welsh’s proposition unless lie demands too much money.
It is generally conceded that Welsh is McFarland’s most capable rival.
They have boxed three times, fifty five rounds in nil. and the question of
supremacy still remains in some donbl. McFarland got a verdict in ten
rounds several years ago, after which there was a twenty-five round draw
in Los Angeles and a twenty Tomid draw in Loudon.
V V V
I J7HEN a man goes as far as Calgary. Alberta, for a fight, as is tlie ease
VV of Luther McCarty, it is either I icon use lie loves a fight or for just
Hie opposite reason, in tills case we will only mention ttiat lie is to meet
the winner of the Morris-I’elky fight, and leave Ihe verdict without con
stituents. .
w * *
T HE Inculcating of those principles of fair play and manliness is about
to gel a terrific push from behind. Tommy Burns is going to make
matches out on the coast. If Tommy does a* well for the fighters lie pro
moles a * he did for himself lie will tie a popular incubator. His princi
ples always wore t.liat Ihe lighter with less reputation should always lay
down to the fighter with tlie greater reputation, and nothing could l>e fairer
or manlier than that.

B ITIV DAN is having trouble with Ids sparring partners. At least it
looks that way from the following letter which arrived in the early
morning mail:
Ty Ty. (ia., April 28. 1913.
Mr. Mutt and Mr. .loff:
I tbot I’d rite you fellers and tell you bout that feiler Ed Rath tlint
you sent down to is* my sparrin partner, yesterday was the first time
we boxed together and the last time. I sure am up against a gang of
cheaters, they seem bound to put me in bad for my flte witli syclops
sum that comes of the loth, this feller Rath seemed to he all rite but
when we got the gloves on we sparred some time and the first thing 1
knew he liil me an alTut wallop on the nose and it cut me something
tieri-e. I stopped rite there and told my manager that lie must have
brass mickles In ids gloves so they grablied Rath and took off ids gloves
and sure enough they found a big spark plus in eaeli init, so of course
we fired him rite then and there, you see M’Gnire had fixed them so
tie would put tne out of business, but he didn’t, ain’t they tlie dirty
cheaters’/
There was sure sparks In llioni gloves caws I saw them tor hair
ami dried apples and slipjiery dm tea. hut 1 fed afful weak all the
Ike Maun, most to lite for me tho. I sure batted idui nil over Ihe room,
lie said lie nstu peddle jewelry and he said he knew you fellers, (hat
was one reason 1 took him on. he quit last nite. he said lie was no
punchin ling so i got to get another.
I ninl reelin’ much bolter since i changed my diet, but nty manager
said it would is- some time before i would recover from the effects of
the I lean dent. I am filling out pretty fust s'm-e began eatin the cheese
and dried apples and slippery elm team, hut I feel afful weak all the
lime i don't seem to fisd strong like i did when i licked the town cun-
statnil last fall, it seems as though i was eatin most to much cheese.
I still dream some afful dreams every liite. last nite i dreamed i was
all lioiind up to a stake and Indians was dam-in around me and stick
ing spears into me and i was so bound up that i couldn't move a inch
and finalh i woke up with an afful dry taste In my mouth, i got up
and drank a cup of slippery elm ten and that made me feel ls-tter.
I guess i am traluin to hard, this trntnin is harder than i thought it
was. but i’ll stick it out caws i got to win this file with cyclops sam.
1 thought you out to know about that feller Ed Rath, look out for him,
lie is a cheater, caws any one who will do what lie did would sell you
a balky autopiobile whatever that is. remember me to K. N. Ooker and
tell him that Ids friends can make a clean up by liettin on

WILL ENCOURAGE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS
Here are the remarkable results
obtained by Mr. D. H. Brantley.

from the use of the wonderful
Quaker Extract. So here it is. He
«aid:
“I am 28 years old. and have
lived here all my life, and my
friends and neighbors know how 1
suffered for several years from t
dreadful (ase of stomach and liver
trouble. It seemed no matter what
1 ate would not agree with me.
Everything soured on my stomach
and caused gas to form. This gas
would distress me terribly and
pressed against mv heart, causing
pains, palpitation and difficulty* in
breathing. Often these attacks
would also come during the night.
In The morning I would usually
awake with a dull headache and
generally tired feeling. My tongue
was very heavily coated and my
breath bad One day I was told
to give Quaker Extract a trial. I
did so. J bought a treatment at
Coursey &- Munn’s Drug Store. At
first I felt discouraged as ever, as
ihe remedy seemed to have no ef
fect on me at all. But after a few
days I noticed that my tongue was
getting clear. 1 svemed to sleep
better and feel more refreshed in
the morning. Gradually the gas.
stopped forming, and oh, my. what
a relief this was! And thus I
kept growing better. J ventured
to eat some boiled cattbago. * thinfr
I had not dared to do for years.
As this did not distress me in the
slightest, I realized that my atom*-
ach was strong and healthy again.
Since tli^n I have been eating any
thing served to me at home,
thank Quaker Extract foir
cure.”
