C HICAGO, May l.—Boxer* all
over the country are displaying
a restless mood and many of
them have already quit their old man*
Hirers or are preparing to do so. The
cane of Jobs Willard set the exam
ple and there was an immediate con
tagion of Reparation Eddie Mc-
Goorty had a split-up with hi.* man
ager and now comes Steve Ketchel
to the front with the .statement that,
he cannot longer ,get oh with Larney
Lichtenstein and will either go it
alone and do the best he can single
handed or else And some other pilot
to guide him through the more or
less perilous shoals. Incidentally, one
of the most prominent of the near
lightweights is or has been scrapping
■with his manager and the belief is
general that said manager soon will
be out of a job, at least as far as
•said atar near lightweight is con
cerned.
• • •
F 'KOM the looks of things the fight
ers have generally agreed among
themselves that managers are pretty
much nix. Some of them are abso
lutely outspoken about the manager
who grabs so and so much for his
services, forgetting In many instances
that it i.« the manager who has boost
ed his fighter in|o a stat** with the
promoter where almost double the
price of what the fighter himself
might get is obtained. While a man
ager is good he is mighty good, es
pecially in this matter of increasing
the price for the services of his fight
er, in the case of Ketchel, much is
to be said on both sides. Larney
made a good card out of .Steve and ;
jumped his value up three or four
hundred per cent. As much cannot
be said of all managers, however,
and in a good many cases the fighters
have legitimate grievances. It is gen
erally th* case, however, that the pub
lic is but slightly interested in the
private affairs of lighter and mana
ger.
* * •
\ AND speaking of fighters and their
managers brings to mind the loud
plaint that John McOue of Racine is
making about the Chicago managers
who are making such strenuous ef
forts to take away from him that
smart little knocker-out, Matthew
Paulson McCue, the Racine boy. who
is one of the real sensations of the
ring hereabouts. According to the
elder McCue, whose name Matty took
for fighting purposes when he start •
ed into the business, not one, hut
several Chicago managers are trying
to steal Matty away from him. Emil
Thiry, who has been handling Paekey
McFarland’s business for some time
now, is among the number, according
to a letter from McCue. Thiry wants
,McCue badly and pointed a rosy fu
ture for Matty the other day. hut it
looks as if the hoy's heart is still
with the man who brought him out
and gave him a real start towards
fame and ring fortune.
• • •
M ATTY, it now appears, is prac
tically matched to box Jeff O’
Connell, Joe Sullivan’s young feather
weight star, the contest to he decid
ed in Racine about May 15. That
date was selected because it will be
the second anniversary of the day up
on which Matty took his first boxing
lesson from McCue in the latter’s
gymnasium. The match will be a
nort of testimonial to McCue and his
young tighter by the citizens of Ra
cine who feel grateful to them for
the advertising the town has received
at their hands. Incidentally. McCue
will run the show himself and ex
pects to profit handsomely thereat,
for which nobody will hlatne him or
should not begrudge him the coin.
McCue thinks if any of the Chicago
fight managers could have the pa
tience to take a green boy like Matty
and in two years got him to win for
ty-two battles, the Inst ten of them
<>n knockouts, they would have some
thing to be proud of.

ELBERFELD HUS
BUILT UP HIS
LI
RACES
SONG OF THE SULLIVANS
By DAMON RUNYON
C HATTANOOGA, TBNN , May 1.
The releaBe of “Red” Maaeey to
OalveHton and that of Eddie
Starke to New London marks Elber-
feld's third reduction of the season
for the sake of an observance of the
salary and player limits. The two
youngsters In question were decor
ated with the order of the can to
make room for Rudv Sommers and
Harry Thrasher.
With his present lineup Elberfeld
honestly belleyes thnt the Lookouts
will rapidly shake off the “Jinx" which
1ms pursued the club all season and
speedily become a factor in the race
No fair minded person will deny that
the Lookouts as they now stand with
Thrasher, King, and Elston in the
outfield; Gillespie, Elberfeld, Flick
and Coyle on the Inner w.rks; "Gab
by" Street doing the hulk of the
catching, and Covelcskle, Sommers,
More, Chappells, and Troy for hurlers
are truly a formidable aggregation.
This array leaves Elberfeld also well
fortified in the utility role with "Dug"
Harblson.
The regular array above mentioned
will hit, exclusive of pitchers. cl.se
lo 290 and will field with any club
In the league; In fact, it fa doing so
at present, and this being the case
the Kid does not believe It possible
for the losing streak which has as
sailed the Lookouts to continue Its
pernicious effectiveness much longer.
The t*eal cause for the Lookouts’
losses up to date after a careful ana
lysis of the dull's play seems to be
i* lack of concerted effectiveness be
tween.,,Uhe offensive and defensive
alignments. Lack of the proper co
operation between the batsman and
the base runner has also been costly.
These finer points of the game have
naturally been Ignored to some ex
tent by the wild anxiety of the in
dividual members of the club to win
but it Is believed that a short string
of victories would Imbue the locals
with that "esprit de corps" which,
combined with their natural strength
would make them truly formidable.
Local fans are not at all discourag
ed—this Is an actual fact.
Tech High is trying to get an out-of-
town game for next Saturday. The

And he mentioned the ventilation which prevails In this limited train.
And. hearin’ him beef, I got thinkin’ o’ MY route to the big league
When 1 rode\n a Sullivan wleeper, wit’ me pillow' me uniform roll!
1 thought o’ the Jumps in Texas, where you leave while there’s still some
light,
Boltin’ your sinkers and Javvy to ride for the rest o’ the night.
O’ the days through the wide, warped country—the sky like a red-hot
bowl—
And me in a Sullivan sleeper, wit* me pillow me uniform roll!
I thought o’ the heave o’ the rattler, a-iimpln’ along the miles;
I thought o’ the day coach odors, wit' the fruit peels piled in the aisles—
The squawk o’ the fretful babies; the stops at each prairie dog knoll-—
While 1 rode in a Sullivan sleeper, wit’ me pillow me uniform roll!
I thought o’ the hotels yonder, and the ptomaine germs that we’d fight;
O' me room wit’ te alley exposure, and a bath every Saturday night.
O’ the heat that soaked through the hallways like a breath from the fur-
nacy Hole—
When I rode in the Sullivan sleeper, wit* me pillow me uniform roll!
I thought o’ the dinky ball grounds down by the railroad yards,
Sooty wit’ smoke anil cinders, and rotted by age to the guards.
And I dreamt o' the "old ekin diamond, and the infield that tried me soul,
When I rode in the Sullivan sleeper, wit’ me pillow me uniform roll!
Gettin’ my rest in the Pullman, and hearin’ the youngsters complain
O’ th** train, and the diner, and service, it hands me a laugh—and a pain.
They’ve got’ it some soft—you believe—and they’d know if they’d paid

MUTU/Jirr
COLUMN-
A THENS. GA., May l.—Big John j
Morris twirled a no-hit no-run
game for the University of Geor
gia against Vanderbilt yesterday, there
by winning the S. I. A. A. champion
ship for his team. The final score was
Georgia 8, Vandy 0. Morris pitched
masterful ball for his team.
There was only one rap which could
possibly come under the category of
lilts. This was from the bat of Morri
son In the fourth period and was a
short pop over short, which Clements
scarcely succeeded in touching. Although
the hit was of the Texas leaguer variety,
this was scored as an error.
It was the clouting of the local ag
gregation, however, which sent the Van
dy team back to Dudley field to tell
of the w’onderful bunch of ball players
Alex Cunningham has rounded up in
Athens to defeat his alma mater. Cov
ington, Georgia’s crack thirdsacker, was
out of the game on account of pending
action concerning his eligibility, but
Holden, captain of the scrubs, filled his
shoes in nice style, preventing a score
in the second round by cleverly hand
ling a hard-hit ball to his station.
The fireworks started in the initial
round and before the secofid inning
had started every man on the team
had appeared at the bat, four had hit
safely, five had tallied and the game
was placed on ice from the very first.
Luck twirled steady ball for the visi
tors after his first ascension and suc
ceeded in striking out eight of the lo
cals.
The division of the Commodores put-
outs is unusual, the catcher and first
liaseman getting all but three. Left
Fielder Turner pulled a pretty catch in
the fourth, robbing Clements of an extra
base hit.
Ginn got two doubles, Bowden three
hits out of four trials and Clements
three stolen bases for the lied ana
Black.
A CONSTANT complaint lias arisen from the base runners of
the Southern League that they, are handicapped by the
fact that no Southern League umpire ever calls a balk
except on such a palpable thing that any school boy could recog
nize it.
This complaint has undoubtedly been based on facts. Pitchers
coming to the Southern League have found that they could get
away with anything from a half-balk to a sixteen-seventeefitb-
balk and, of course, they took advantage of this situation.

Now and then a pitcher arises to
defend his "balk motion” and now no
less an authority than Ed Walsh, one
of the world’s greatest pitchers, says
he is going to call on President Ban
Johnson, demonstrate his famous
half-balk and get the league mogul
to call off his umpires.
"There isn’t an umpire in the Amer
ican League that can tell me how I
balk," says the big fellow. "Some of
th** umpires say that I throw my
shoulders forward, indicating that I
was to deliver the ball to the batter
and thpn whirled and threw to first,
thus violating the rules. I do not move
my shoulders except when I start the
throw to first. Another umpire told
me that I balked by the movement
of my knees. Yet I don’t move my
knees until I make the throw to catch
a runner off the base.
"Clark Griffith, manager of the
Washington team and the man who is
always trying to get the umpires to
call balks on me. doesn’t know my
movement to first. He declares that
I balk with my shoulders, but I do
not.
“Naturally every time that a balk
is ( ailed on me I want to know why
and so far not en umpire has ever
told me Many of them haven’t tried.
"Clark Griffith and Jimmy Calla
han were two pitcher* who were con
sidered mighty good in their day when
it came to holding runners to first
base. I have-talked to Griffith and
know what his motion was. I ha e
talked to Callahan and know what
move he had. I have combined the
two and think T have a motion that
is mighty effective when it comes to
holding base runners close and at
the same time is within the spirit of
the rules.
"I know one thing, and that is that
I should like to explain It to the pres
ident of the league, so that his um
pires would understand it, and would
not punish me for using it.”
C F/VERAL bal] players have broken
^ into the big leagues who could
neither read nor write. They were
forced to work so early in life they
never had an opportunity to enjoy the
sam? advantages other youths did. It
is amazing to see how well they get
along, despite this handicap.
Generally one of their teammates
will act as "social secretary,’’ and
will attend to all their correspondence
for them. They also make it a point
to accompany the players into the’
dining-room and tip them off to what
is on the bill of fare. Frequently the
non-reader will listen to what the
other fellows order and languidly pay:
"Oh, bring me the same thing."
One chap, who is still playing ball,
gets %>y splendidly in the dining cars
—better than one would believe pos
sible.
It’s the custom on many lines to
write out your order on a card fur
nished by the head waiter.
This fellow casually picks up the
menu card on such occasions, glances
it over with a bored look, and ex
claims: "Let’s have a sirloin steak
hashed brown potatoes .and a cup of
coffee.”
Then he tosses the card aside.
He knows all diners furnish those
three staples and generally hap the
same thing until the team hits a hotel
again. Nobody, to watch him, would
have the slightest suspicion he
couldn’t make out a word on the
bill of fare. He is a regular little
wonder.
the Cardinal manager went to iY-
plate 19 times. He drew nine p • -
out of the nineteen times up, oi q
average of nearly .500 iti that time,
which is his long suit. He made two*
sacrifice hits end so was ot’ie alij
at bat only eight times. In the eight
times he was forced to hit the ball
he secured four hits for an average
of .500, on account of having the
pitcher in the hole all the time. Hi*
scored six runs himself and helped
in the scoring of another by a sac
rifice hit. This is a record hard to
beat in a single series. At outwitting
and outgamlng pitchers Huggins is
pretty nearly i na class by himself. He
positively will not hit at a ball which
is not over the plate and the pitcher
is constantly in the hole when pitch
ing to him. Manager Tinker says
that the only way to circumvent Hug
is to lay the ball right over the plate
with speed on it and trust to his not
hitting It out of the infield.
A/TILLER HUGGINS is surely a
wonderful bad-off man and he
can work a wobbling; pitcher to a
fare-ye-well. In four games recently
