10 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.THURSDAY. MAY 1. 1013. SIHE KETCHEL IS LATEST TO IT SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT • • • • Some Wives Are So Forgiving Copyright, 1913, International New* Rtrrlca. • • • • By Tad By Ed W. Smith. 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. c6 - prx 2i,- th*t voo tm« TWflO OCrU ^ ,wOOVW OP ►JOOiS • IT WAS 2>D DARl* 1^0 (r£\ THAT I COOi-O/VT ■SEE pace - Out. » KVSJJ if tWAJ VOU sa a a ha a a -that's FONNV yjiperwiu- 7HiyJK IT yJfri pARAA*** POiT IK) TWS IW ' (iVifSS A 5 T (.IE MA PEA Big- cpiTe - i-OUCj- AR&uwe-mT— THG'K' — 1- \NHATS—UH- iAW Dio ^ V A ’ftUft.M-AB- CftU-T _y |ij nun WETh- i Twoufrer A IT \fjum WOO AMD I TZ>UO l+/N\ WHERE l H'firO Put wour_ WffTIH AND TWlJG-S 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.

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. COMMISSION TO SETTLE TY COBB’S CASE TO-DAY CHICAGO, May 1.—Members of the National Baseball Commission, who were in session yesterday, w T ere un able to reach Tyrus Cobb’g applica tion for reinstatement and several other important matters that were to have been considered.

May 1.—Catcher Pete Shields, former captain of the Uni versity of Mississippi baseball team. w*as , released to the Portland. Oreg., club by the Cleveland American League Club 1 yesterday. Outfiielder Charley Betts I was released to the Beaumont Club, of the Texas League. 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.
