THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. MAY 2. 1012.
STHE KETCH
IS LITEST TO
Bv Ed AY. Smith.
C HICAGO. May l.—Boxers All
over the country are displaying
a restless mood and many of
them have already quit their old man
agers or are preparing to do so. The
case of Jess Willard set the exam
ple and there was an immediate con
tagion of separation Eddie Me-
Goorty had a split-up with his man
ager and now comes Steve Ketchel
to the front with the statement that
he cannot longer get on with Larney
Lichtenstein and will either go it
alone and do the best he can single
handed or else find 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 hi* manager and the belief is
general that said manager soon will
be out of a job, at least as far as
said star near lightweight is con
cerned.
• * •
F 'ROM 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 «o and so much for his
services, forgetting In many instances
that it is the manager who has boost
ed his fighter into a state with the
promoter where almost double the
price of what the fighter himself
might get is obtained While a man
ager la good he Ls mighty good, es
pecially in this mattnr of increasing
the price for the services of his fight
er In the case of Ketchel, much is
to be said “ii both hides. Larni)
made a good card out of Steve and
jumped h1s 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 the case, however, that the pub
lic is but slightly interested In the
private affairs of fighter and mana
ger.
• • •
A AN1.) 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 Jnto the business, not one, but
several Chicago managers are trying
to steal Matty away from him. Emil
Thiry, who has been handling Packey
McFarland’s business for some time
now. la among the number, according
to a letter from McCue. Thiry wants
McCue badly and pointed a rosy fu
ture for Matty the other day, but 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 A TTY, it now appears, is
prac
tically matched to box Jeff O’
Connell, Joe* Sullivan’s young feather
weight star, tlie contest to be decid
ed in Racine about May 15. That
date was .-elected 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
sort of testimonial to McCue and his
young fighter 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 blame 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 get him to win for
ty-two battles, the last ten of them
on knockouts, they would have some
thing to he proud of.

By DAMON RUNYON
C
HATTANOOGA, TENN. May 1.
The relenee of ' Red" Maasey to
Galveston and that of Eddie
Htarke to New London mark** 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 wero decor
ated with the order of the can to
make room for Rudy Sommers and
Harry Thrasher.
With his present lineup Elberfeld
honestly bellevea that the Lookouts
will rapidly shake off the 'Minx'' which
has pursued the club all season and
speedily become a factor In the race.
No fair minded person will deny that
tlte Lookouts as they now stand with
Thrasher, Kina, and Elston in th.3
outfield; Gillespie. Elberfeld, Flick
and Coyle on the inner works; ''Gab
by'' Street (loins the bulk of the
ratchliu;; and Coveleskle, Sommers,
More, Chappelle, and Troy for hurlers
are truly a formidable angreKation.
This array leaves Elberfeld also well
fortified in the utility role with "Dug"
Harbison.
The regular array above mentioned
will hit, exclusive of pitchers, close
to 290 and will field with any club
in the league; in fact, it is doing so
it 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 Us
pernicious effectiveness much longer.
The real cause for the Lookouts
losses tip to date after a careful ana
lysis of the club's play seems to be
a lack of concerted effectiveness be
tween the offensive and defensive
alignments Lack of the proper co
operation between the batsman and
the base runner has also been costly.
These filler 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. •

And ho mentioned the ventilation which prevails In this limited train.

When I rode'in a Sullivan sleeper, wit’ me pillow me uniform roll!
I thought o’ the jumps in Texas, w here 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

And me In a Sullivan sleeper, wit' me pillow me uniform roll!
I thought o’ the heave o’ the rattler, a-ilmpln' along the miles;
I thought o’ the day coach odors, wit* the fruit peels piled in the aides—
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-

When I rode in the Sullivan sleeper, wit' me pillow me uniform roll!
Genin' my rest in the Pullman, and hearin' the youngsters complain
O' the train, and the diner, and service, It hands me a laugh—and a pain.

The unexpected victory of Peacock
over Tech High on Tuesday shoves the
high school hi ys into third place and
brings Peacock out of the cellar. Tech
High has an erratieal team this year,
a teaxi that may be beaten by the cellar
champs and then turn right around and
beat the leaders.

COMMISSION TO SETTLE
TY COBB’S CASE TO-DAY
CHICAGO, May 1.—Members of the
National Baseball Commission, who
were in session yesterday, were un
able to reach Tyrus Cobb’s applica
tion for reinstatement and several
other important matters that were to
have been considered. Routine busi
ness was taken up and the commi3-
sion adjourned until to-day.
It was intimated that Cobb w r ould
be reinstated and that his fine, if any
penalty at all were inflicted, would be
light.
THENS. GA.. May 1.—Big John 1
Morris twirled a no-hit no-run
game for the University of Geor
gia against Vanderbilt yesterday, there
by winning the a. 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
hits. This was from the bat of Morri
son in the fourth period and was a
short pop over short, which Clements
scarcely succeeded 2n touching. Although
the hit was of the Texas leaguer variety,
this w*as 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 wonderful 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 second 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.
Ludk 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
baseman 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 Red and
Black.

CONSTANT complaint has 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-seventeenth
balk and, of course, they took advantage of this situation.
Now and them 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
the umpires say that 1 throw my
shoulders forward, indicating that I
was to deliver the ball to the batter
and' then 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 yhoulders, but I do
not.
“Naturally every time that a balk
is called on me I want to know why
and so far not an umpire has ever
told me. Many of them haven’t tried.
“Clark Griffith and Jimmy Calla
han were two pitchers 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 have
talked to Callahan and know what
move he had. I have combined the
two and think I have a motion that
is mights’ effective when it comes to
holding base runners close and at
the samp* time is within the s»pirit 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.”

he secured four hits for an av rage

scored six runs himself and helped^
in the scoring of another by a sac*-*'

beat in a single series. At outwitting
and outgaming 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 w r ay to circumvent Hug
is to lay the ball right over the* plate

Generally one of their teammates
will act as “social secretary,” and
will attend to all their correspondence

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.”

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: "Lei’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 has the
same thing until the team hits a hotel
again. Nobody, to w’atch him, would
have the slightest suspicion he
couldn’t make out a word on the

The world renowned laboratory of j

regarding the spread of blood dis

most virulent types have been the re

ease germs in public places, and the
apparently insignificant pimple has
been the cause. It spreads with as

entire system in a few days. S
It is fortunate, however, that there (
