THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. RATER DAY. MAY 3. 1913. Oh, It’s Great to Be Married D& 'utwiijitl. 1V1.H, lulernuttoMHl New* Service By George McManus TIM BUTTLE By W. W. Naughton. L OS ANQEI.ES, CALIF.. Ma> S. "If Kilbane had shown mote willingness, you would have . »een a better fight," said the Dundee crowd. "If Dundee had been a little more inclined to mix it there would have been an entirely different verdict," said Kilbane’s followers. "There was too much feinting and holding on by both men," said the disgruntled fans. There you have the three angles if 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 4 lad could improve to any particular extent on vhat he showed Tuesday „ night, and, in the meantime, there Is no clamorous demand for another en gagement. ♦ The idea prevails, for that matter, inat 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 Kilbane s followers. This because there was nothing in the affair to Justify the making of the champion an odda-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 rather 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 with Dundee in New York. You know they would draw a tre mendous crowd at Madison Square ■v 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."

OVE ME A Ring‘Side SEAT : m € MICHAEL M’DERMOTT WINS NATIONAL TANK TITLE 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. C., composing a relay team, swam a mile in 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-Oubs 'world’s championship battle several Vears ago. He was unconditionally • released by the local club and is de clared to he "all in" as a diamond athlete. JOHN L. HAD REAL K. O. Fans Like Fighter With a Wallop DREAD IF TOE HOLD KFEITS BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip C' By Ed. W. Smith. HICAGO, ILL.. May 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 care 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 MeCue’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 fi.-t than he could with the bare digit, he became one of the world’s grey est. or at least one of the world's most admired men. Those v\ ho 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, (’lever 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, wap looked upon as in vincible for years. Britt Defeated Corbett. So it has been in other clasee. Ter ry McGovern 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 glad 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. Perhaps* Referee Byton 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— and 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 hasTi’t the mule-like swat that makes for public idolatry. McCue Didn't Stop Williams. Matty McCue didn’t make it :en 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. \ 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 inptant 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 sayp that if Jeff trains properly for the contest he will wager $1,000 that he gets the popular verdict in ten rounds. Joe D’Andrea also is a supporter of the O'Connell end on this occasion.

Safest, Always Reliable SOLD BY DRUGGISTS EVERYWHf P5 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 he was in the city the other day and discussed his’recent bout in Kansas City with George Lurich, the Russian. This was described 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. H,old 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 1 defeated Hackensehmidt the 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 are no different from any other kind of people, and do a lot of gossiping among themselves. 1 heard some of this w hile i was over 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. "As a matter of fact, 1 have used 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, I when Lurich was preparing for the ring he was talking excitedly in Ger man to his handlers, and the whole gist of the conversation was on the toe hold. ‘When finally w e w > re ready to begin and started for the ring I no ticed that he was os white as chalk and looked about as nervous as any man I ever saw. This didn't wear off at alt after w*.* got started, and he kept Jerking his feet dnd legs away from me in a horrified manner every time ] 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. Hackensehmidt 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 the leverage Is placed right there And water on the knee is an athlete’s most hideous nightmare. Once you get that you are out of business for all time." It may be mentioned right here that George Hackensehmidt was put com pletely out of business through the injury lie suffered to his knee while I training for the second Gotch bout. I It is understood on this side that Hackensehmidt has had several oper ations <o relieve the Injury, but that they have been unsuccessful. In consequence the once mighty Russian is unable to show with even a posing act. Ft is said that/ his ca reer is completely at an end. When Weaver, of the White Sox, bats against a right-hand pitcher, he works left-handed. But when he bunts, he performs right-handed. Nobody knows why, least of all "Buck."

OT long ago I received a letter from a friend who lives in a little town in Michigan. ' He asked me to select some golf clubs and he particularly desired me to use my very hest Judgment in tho matter of selection. He explained that the blubs were not for himself, but for a clergyman and he thought that if the clubs were the best possible the preaehtr would be spared the provocation that so frequently leads the average golfer to do and say very unclerical things. 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 own 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 gain* that is certain ly adapted to their needs. It cer tainly would prove of great benefit to the health and happiness of over worked, earnest and discontented priests and preachers.
