* * THE ATLANTA GEORCifAN AND NEWS.SATURDAY. MAY TIRTE BUTTLE L f iiTi Oh, It’s Great to Be Married By George McManus By W. W. Naugkfroii. <39 AKOBI.ES, CALIF., May 3 '*lf KSlbana had shown more Willingness, you woulfl have fan a bsttor flght," said the Dundee *o«rt. 'It DuneKee had been a little mole Iho-Mned to mis It there would have been an entirely different verdict," siM Kilbane’s followers. Sthere was too much feinting and holding on by both men," said the 'flagrant :ed fans. ’There you have the three angles if t^ie recent featherweight champion ship contest. Warh of the principals le thor oughly willing to try it all over again, Mid each claims that a draw deci sion will not be possible next time. ■ Jonsldering the careful training they bad, it Is not easy to see how eith-i lad could Improve to any particular extent, on what he showed Tuesday night, and. In the meantime, there U 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 match In which they figured more listless rhan its predecessor. The blow fell harde.w on Kilbane’s followers. This because there was nothing In the affair to Justify the •flaking of the champion an odds-on lft to 4 favorite. Explanations are in order, of course, and an exceedingly naive one tin furnished by a. touring sports man who comes from the champion’s home town "H<ere Is the way I account for it," said the man from Cleveland. "To begin with, the Kilbane men were deprived of an opportunity to make a clean-up in the betting When it onmes to laying 10 to 4 you have to place a fortune to win anything, and it Is not worth the risk. Ail right. Now, it seems to me, they figured that If Kilbane beat Dundee too decisively Kilbane would be fighting hims df out of a Job. It is all very well to talk of Kilbane going in with the iight’weights, 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 his 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 Garden, and the New .Yorkers would be quite willing to accept 10 to 8 against Dundee." Bui Kilbane did not do enough to earn tbe decision," was remarked. •Well, that’s purely a matter of opinion. 1 think he did.” SOUSA SHOOTS TO-DAY AT BROOKHAVEN GUN CLUB The Brpokhaven Gun Club will hold its first shoot of the season on ill* club grounds this afternoon. John Hotltp Sousa, famous band leader and one of the most expert trap shooters in the United States, will be the guest of Mr. Lester and will participate in the shoot.

A new trap has been installed <in the ground* and another one will lie set up later In the season. The shoot to-day is an exhibition match end is open to all members of the club. JOHN L. HAD REAL K.

A new world's record was made when eighteen members of the I, A. C., composing a relay team, swam a mile in 1R:1«4-5. bettering the record held’ by the club of 18:62. GEORGE ROHE "LET OUT; WAS HERO OF BIG SERIES NBW ORLEANS. May 3.—Tap? eounded to-day for George Rohe, who was the hero of the White Sox-Cubs world's championship battle several ygars a#o. He was unconditionally released by the local club and Is de clared to be “alT in” as a diamond athlete. By Ed. W. Smith. C HICAGO, ILL . May 3.—One must admire tbe clever rtngster who gets* away with the pretty stuff ^nd does the job up beautifully, but when one gets right down to cases 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 puhch ‘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 case 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 McOue’s knockouts. Sullivan a Hero. Back in the days of long ago when Mr. Sullivan, of Boston, discovered that he couid club them into som nolence better with a five-ounce glove wrapped tightly a round his ^Milesian fist than he could with the bore digit, he became 01^ of the world’s gren:- est. or at least one of the world’s most admired men. Those who didn't openly admire the first Queensberry (/hampion at leant 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 was 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 Jeffrlea. 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 clases. 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 thev men who whipped Young Corbett LOOKOUTS GET MALONEY; GULLS RELEASE THRASHER CHATTANOOGA, TENN..

Beil Phone ivy 367. Atlanta Z20 nevef got the glad acclaim from the fans that greeted either Corbett or McGovern when they appeared in the .‘•’quared 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 Ketch* l or the Bob Fitzsimmons type. This type is mighty rare, for the fighter of to day is there to gather the sbeke.s and thinks more of dodging ;i black ened eye or a bruised mouth than he does of knocking an opponent out. Naughton's Judgment Good. Perhaps* Reft-re** Kyton 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 atT 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 ha.*n’t the mule-like swat that makes for public idolatry. McCue Didn’t Stop Williams. Matty McCue didn't maae it ten straight knockouts w hen he met Posey Williams in Milwaukee the otlur night in a six-round bout. Posey went in there to stay, and stay he did. 4 boxer who is trying to knock out a man who is strictly on the defensive has little chance, for lie gets few openings and the other fellow is de voting every instant of his time to dodging that K. (). 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 lie faces the Racine star. Jim Mc Nulty, of the West Wide, is a staunch friend of Jeff and savy 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. BARONS BUY M’DONALD AND KNISELY FROM CUBS CHICAGO, May 3.—President Mur- phy of the local Nationals yesterday announced the sale of Outfielder Knisely and Jnflelder Mc Donald to the Birmingham.

CHICHESTER S PILLS the imauomi ituav■> . S&i 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 thu 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 Lit rich, the Russian. This was described by the Kansas City sport writers as an easy thing for tiie Humboldt man, they claiming that Lurich did not show anywhere near as well against the champion as he did -gainst some of the »lesser lights that he tackled there in pre vious matches. That was perfectly natural, for a ( hampion 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 ail you’ve got in thf* 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 lias been the talk of Europe ever since 1 defeated Haekenschmidt 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 while i was over there and know that the Europeans look upon me a* being some son 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 1 am wrestling. Seldom Uses Toe Grip. "Ah a matter of fact. I have used it but seldom, and do not know at a I! that 1 *‘ver won a fall with it in an important match. Wrestlers over here know that T use it more for a feint than anything else. "It js useful for that, especially w hen 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 of the conversation was on the toe hold. “When finally we were ready to begin and started for the ring 1 no ticed that he was as white as chalk ttfhd 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 an/J naturally kept him worried by feinting at him. This made him for get all that he seemed to know about ordinary wrestling and naturally j made him an easy mark. “Hack” Feared Clutch. “Hackenschpildt was really afraid of the same thing, and the constant brooding over the toe hold in advance of a match with me beats all of them. You see. the hold lilts the j knee more than any other place, as the leverage is placed right there j And water on the knee is an athlete’s; most hideous nightmare. Once you | get that you are out of business for all time.’’ / Ii may be mentioned right here that George Haekenschmidt was put com pletely out of business through the injury he suffered to ids knee while training for the second Gotch bout.

OT long ago 1 received a letter from a friend who lives in a little town in Michigan* He a»ked me to select some golf clubs and he particularly desired me to uso my very best judgment In the matter 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 that »o frequently leads the average golfer to do and say very unclerical things. It is perhaps hardh 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 J 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 happiness of over worked, earnest and discontented priests and preachers. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Games To-day. Boston at Brooklyn.
