THE ATLANTA HEORUIAN AND NEWS.SATERDAY. MAY 3. 191?,. 1 Oh, It’s Great to Be Married By George McManus TITLTtBUTTLE By W. W. Naughton. L OS ANGELES, CALIF.. May 3 — “If Kllbane had shown more willingness, you would have seen a better tight," said the Dundt? crowd. "If Dundee had been a little more inclined to mix It there would have been an entirely different verdict," said Kllbane’s followers. “There was too much feinting and holding on by both men," said the disgruntled fans. There you have the three angles ,f the recent featherweight champion ship contest. Each of the principals Is thor oughly willing to try It all over again, and each claims that a draw deci sion will not be possible next time. Considering the careful training they had, it is not easy to see how either lad could Improve to any particular extent on what he showed Tuesday night, and, in the meantime, there Is no clamorous demand for another en gagement. The idea prevails, for that matter, that a second contest might prove tamer still. There is such a thing as rival boxers becoming too well ac quainted with each other’s strong points and adopting precautions that would render each successive maten in which they figured more listless than its predecessor. The blow fell hardest on Kilbanes followers. This because there was nothing in the affair to Justify the making of the champion an odds-on 10 to 4 favorite. Explanations are In order, of course, and an exceedingly naive one was furnished by a touring sports man who comes from the champion’s home town. "Here is the way I account for it," said the man from Cleveland. ”T) begin with, the Kilbane men were deprived of an opportunity to make a clean-up in the betting. When it comes to laying 10 to 4 you have to place a fortune to win anything, and it is not worth the risk. All right. Now, it seems to me, they figured that if Kilbane beat Dundee too decisively Kilbane would be fighting himself out of a Job. It is all very well to talk of Kilbane going in with the lightweights, but I think he’d rath-r stay with the feathers. He saw he would not win any bets by defeating Dundee, and he probably made up h.s mind to do Just enough to earn the decision and' then look forward to another go w ith Dundee In New York. You know they would draw a tre mendous crowd at Madison Square ■ Garden, and the New' Yorkers would be quite willing to accept 10 to 8 against Dundee." "But Kilbane did not do enough to earn the decision," was remarked. “Well, that’s purely a matter of opinion. I think he did.” SOUSA SHOOTS TO-DAY AT BR00KHAVEN GUN CLUB The Brookhaven Gun Club will hold its first shoot of the season on the club grounds this afternoon.

MICHAEL M’DERMOTT WINS NATIONAL TANK TITLE i CHICAGO. May 3.—Michael McDer mott. of the Illinois Athletic Club, won the National Amateur Athletic Union breast-stroke championship for 220 yards last night in 2:55 2-5, almost 20 seconds below his world's record. A new world’s record was made when eighteen members of the I. A <\. composing a relay team, swam a mile ir 18:46 4-5. bettering the record held by the club of 18:52. GEORGE ROHE LET OUT; WAS HERO OF BIG SERIES NEW ORLEANS, May 3.—Taps sounded to-day for George Rohe, who was the hero of the White Sox-Cubs (world's championship battle several years ago. He was unconditionally released by the local club and is da- clared to be ‘‘ail in" as a diamond athlete. JOHN L. HAD REAL K. O. •F«-i- •[-•-i- +•+ +•+ *••!- Fans Like Fighter With a Wallop C 1 By Ed. W. Smith. HIOAGO, ILL., Mpy 3.—One must admire the clever ringster who gets away with the pretty stuff and does the job up beautifully, but when one gets right down to case^ it’s the party whose one mighty wal lop stretches the foe out on his* back for the full count who becomes king in a night, and stays king as long as the punch is in good working or der. In other words, while the clever fellow may even become champion, the walloper who continually displays the K. O. swat is first in the hearts of his countrymen, even though he may never become a champion. The oaee of Johnny Kilbane is a good one in point. Lots and lots of fans would go to see Johnny and come away marveling at his wonderful footwork, his infallible judgment of distance and other technical points. But they would talk longer and rave louder over one of Matty McCue’s knockouts. Sullivan a Hero. Back in the days of long ago when Mr. Sullivan, of Boston, discovered that he could club them into som nolence better with a five-ounce glove wrapped tightly around his Milesian fist than he could with the bare digit, he became one of the world’s great est, or at least one of the world’s most admired men. Those who didn't openly admire the first Queensberry champion at least did so secretly, for he was a red-blooded fellow with the wallop. And wallopers ever since have commanded first call in the at tention of the races. Clever Corbett wap never exactly an idol, though one of the world’s greatest boxers. His successor, Fitzsimmons, who knocked ’em dead with one punch, was a huge idol, despite his foreign origin, and Jeffries, too, because of the weight of his blow, was* looked upon as in vincible for years. Britt Defeated Corbett. So it has been in other clasee. Ter ry M< Govern was the scream of the nation for years and years, though he never really attained any particular championship. He was whipped by another puncher, who in turn fell be fore speed and cleverness. But the men who whipped Young Corbett never got the giad acclaim from the fans that greeted either Corbett or McGovern when they appeared in the squared arena. The ideal fighter in the eyes of the general or average fight fan is the chap who combines skill and force, a man of the Joe Gans or the Stanley Ketchel or the Bob Fitzsimmons type. This type is mighty rare, for the fighter of to day is there to gather the shekels and thinks more of dodging a black ened eye or a bruised mouth than he does of knocking an opponent out. Naughton’s Judgment Good. Perhape Referee Eyton may have some of these ideas in mind when he called that Los Angeles scrap be tween Kilbane and Dundee a draw the other night. From all accounts Kilbane got more than a shade the worst of that verdict, though our old side-kick, Bill Naughton. never men tions it as being a wrong verdict- arid we bank more than a litle on Uncle Bill’s judgment. So perhaps it was all right after all and that Kilbane didn’t really beat the hardy little Italian from New York. Kil bane is a wonderful boxer, but he hadn't the mule-like swat that makes for public idolatry. McCue Didn’t Stop Williams. Matty McCue didn’t make it ten straight knockouts when he met Posey Williams in Milwaukee the other night in a six-round bout. Posey went in there to stay, and stay he did. A boxer who is trying to knock out a man who is strictly on the defensive has little chance, for he gets few openings and the other fellow is de voting every ins'tant of his time to dodging that K. O. punch that he knows is coming over. You must get a man to open up if you would knock him out, and this evidently Matty failed to accomplish. Matty vs. O’Connell. Jeff O’Connell, the little Briton, who is Matty's next serious opponent, is not going to lack for backing when he faces the Racine star. Jim Mc Nulty, of the West Side, is a staunch friend of Jeff and sayt» that if Jeff trains properly for the contest he will wager $1,000 that he gets the popular verdict in ten rounds. Joe P’Andrea also is a supporter of the O’Connell end on this occasion.

CHICHESTER S PILLS Till' 1)1 \ UiiVIt If if 4 v ii . 'AFTER Gill Taxicab Co. When in a Hurry. Bell Phone ivy 367. Atlanta 220 HICAGO, May 3.—It is the fear of the terrible toe hold that for eign wrestlers have that defeats them before they get into the ring with Frank Gotch. This at least is the opinion of Gotch himself, express ed when lie was in the city the other day and discussed his recent bout in Kansas City with George Lurich, the Russian. This was de=eribed by the Kansas City sport writers as an easy thing for the Humboldt man. they claiming that Lurich did not show anywhere near as well against the champion as he did against some of the lesser lights that He tackled there in pre vious matches. That was perfectly natural, for a champion is supposed to show supe riority over all of them. But Gotch has his own explanation of the situa tion. that developed just before and immediately after Lurich faced him in the ring. Hold Talk of Europe. “You can bet aii you've got in the world that this toe hold of mine—of course other wrestlers use it, but it generally has been credited to me as being something of my own invention - has been the talk of Europe ever since I defeated Hackenschmldt tin- first time," Gotch said. “Remember that 1 have been over there and know- just how they feel about it. “Of course it gets noised around, for wrestlers arc no different from any other kind of people, and do a lot of gossiping among themselves. I heard some of this while i was ov.er there and know that the Europeans look upon me as being some sort of a terrible animal and a bone crusher. “Naturally this gossip goes from one to another, and the stories do not lose, anything by repetition. They think over there that all I do is to get the toe hold, or try to get it. all the time I am wrestling. Seldom Uses Toe Grip. “Ah a matter of fact, 1 have u>ed it but seldom, and do not know at all that I ever won a fall with it in an important match. Wrestlers over here know that I use it more for a feint than anything else. “It is useful for that, especially when an opponent has his legs tightly clamped together. Well, at any rate, when Lurich was preparing for the ring he was talking excitedly in Ger man to his handlers, and the whole gist or the conversation wa* on the toe hold. “When finally we were ready to begin and started for the ring 1 no ticed that he was as white ag chalk and looked about as nervous as any man I ever saw. This didn't wear off at all after we got started, and he kept Jerking his feet and legs away from me in a horrified manner every time I reached for him. “I knew what he was thinking of and naturally kept him worried by feinting at him. This made him for get all that he seemed to know about ordinary wrestling and naturally made him an easy mark. “Hack” Feared Clutch. “Hackenschmidt was really afraid of the same thing, and the constant brooding over the toe hold in advance of a match with me beats all ot them. You see, the hold hits the knee more than any other place, as leverage Is placed right there the 1 '■■■ n # omep. ifur or yoar v i>liM<>\!> 1*1 Ll.ft.fnr 8" 7e«rs known,, Best.

Once you get th*ttt you are out of business for all time.” It may be mentioned right here that George Hackenschmidt was put com pletely out of business through the injury he suffered to his kneo while training for the second Gotch bout. I It is understood on this side that Hackenschmidt has had several oper ations to relieve the injury, but that they have been unsuccessful. In consequence the once mighty Russian is unable to show with even ft posing act. It is said that his ca reer is completely at an end.

OT long ago I received a letter from a friend who lives in u little town in Michigan. He asked me to selept some golf clubs and he particularly desired me to use my very best Judgment in tho mutter of selection. He explained that the clubs were not for himself, but for a clergyman and he thought that if the clubs were the best possible the preacher would be spared the provocation thit ao frequently leads the average golfer to do aqd say very unclerical thins.*?. It Is perhaps hardly necessary to say that I was only pleased to use the utmost pains in choosing clubs for the reverend gentleman, from the early beginning of my ow n game I have always had a particularly kindly feeling for men of his profes sion. and I have always believed that golf is the one game that is certain ly adapted to their needs. It cer tainly would prove of great benefit to the health and nnppiness of over worked, earnest and discontented priests and preachers. Petersburg 11.

O UR private opinion is that Jack Prince is going to coin money with that track of his, out at the old show grounds. With a million feet of timber already delivered—or maybe it was a billion—Jack always deals in big, round figures—and a hun dred carpenters at his command. Jack will start things whooping today and keep them that way until the third week of this month, when he expects to be ready to open his doors Thl« town is going wild over mo torcycle racing on a soup dish track. It wanted to go crazy over automo bile racing but the Speedway was so far from Atlanta there wasn’t a chance. They were inclined to be keen over bicycle racing but the Col- liseum was too far from Five Points. Jack Prince now promises to give .them something about twice as ex citing as automobile racing and bi cycle racing rolled together And he will stage It at a new track only a stone's throw (if you’re a good throw er) from the renter of Atlanta Of course Jack hae rounded up the cream of the world’s talent—you all know Jack—and he is going to put on something that will set the pla?e ablaze.
