THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY, MAY 15. 1913.
By
Left Hook
T HE Jim Flynn-Jlm Savage match
at the Auditorium-Armory on
June 9 has just been closed and
these two young heavyweights will
start the white hope elimination tour
nament that Is planned for this city.
The winner of this bout will be
signed to hook up with either A1
Palxer or Gunboat Smith. Then the
wimier of that scrap will meet Jesse
Wellard. It Is Just possible that
riuther McCarty may be secured to
display his wares within local boun
daries, also, during the tourney.
The Flynn-Savage set-to should
prove a wonder. On form there are
no two scrappers who look so even
in everything. Flynn packs the heav
ier punch, but Savage Is cleverer.
Savage Is Popular Here.
Savage made a tremendous hit with
loci/ fans of the game of hit-and-
gflaway when he polished oft A1 Ku-
bidk to a fare-the-well here last win
ter And Just at that time Kublak
looked to be In the running for the
white title as he had defeated Carl
Morris good a plenty only a few weeks
previous.
Savage displayed all the ear-marks
of a champion in that mill. Kubiak
only landed one clean blow during the
entire ten rounds. Jim is, without
doubt, the cleverest big man that has
followed the ring game since Jim
('orbett lost the heavyweight cham
pionship to Bob Fitzsimmons In that
memorable battle at Carson City .
Corbett himself has declared that
Savage is the shiftiest man he ever
saw. If Jim could only acquire a
wee bit heavier punch he would be
a .fiarvel. According to Dan Morgan,
hi* manager, Jim has developed a
much better kick than he possessed
when he swapped punches with Ku
biak.
As for Flynn, he has only one real
set-back chalked up against him. A1
Palzer beat him, but the "Fighting
Fireman” has always claimed that he
was not at his best that day. And
Palzer has dodged every offer Flynn
has ever made for a return engage
ment.
Flynn Was Beating Champ.
Flynn was beating Jack Johnson to
a frazzle in Las Vegas when Referee
Ed W Smith awarded the negro the
decision on a technicality. For si*
rounds Jim had the big negro back
ing up and holding on for his life.
Jack Curley, one of the game’s
greatest promoters, Is now holding the
tua.’agerial reins over Flynn, and Jack
really believes that he will yet grab
the championship with the fireman.
Curley is s big man in the pugilistic
world and h“ wouldn't bother his
time away with Flynn if he didn’t
think he had a man who was going
to amount to something.
Besides the Flynn-Savage battle
two other top-notch ten-round bouts
* wiki be staged on June 9.
And every boxer, including Flynn
aijfll Savage, will be on the ground
at least a week or ten days in ad
vance.

C HICAGO, May 15.—Have you
ever noticed that the man with
the big punch In the ring
sometimes loses it because he Is
afraid that If he keeps on using it
the knuckles will not stand the
strain? It has happened frequent
ly. Some fighters start out in their
careers who knock ’em dead right
off the leel and keep on scoring so
many slams of this character that
before long they are voted the real
sensations. Pretty soon It is notic
ed that the slam is handed out more
gingerly, opponents stick longer
and longer, and presently there are
so few knockouts to the credit of the
fighter that they are conspicuous by
their absence. The whole thing of
it is that the fighter becomes leary
of using the punch, for fear of break
ing up his fighting tools and thus
putting himself out of the business.

TV/T ATTY M’CUE brought his train-
iVA ing retinue into the city yes
terday noon and worked during
the day at Nate Lewis' Madison
Street gymnasium with a considera
ble crowd of local fans watching his
work. But Matty’s big punch was
carefully concealed somewhere In one
of the three suitcases that he and his
helpers brought with them, for it
wasn’t in evidence during the day.
The punch is all there all right, but
Matty isn’t going to unwrap it for a
while. Matty has trained carefully
for the battle to-day with Jeff O’Con
nell. because he knows full well that
Jeff isn't any cream-puff fighter and
is apt to give him the merriest kind
of a game.
* * *
bQNLT lately I have been gather-
. ing a few good ideas about this
boxing game,” Matty told me yester
day. “One of the things I learned
best of all was that a man shouldn’t
tax his hands the way I did in Mil
waukee by having fights too frequent
ly. I boxed on Saturday and again
on Monday night, and this is the re
sult.” And the poor boy held up a
pair of swollen hands. “There isn’t
anything wrong with them excepting
that they are sore. It won’t happen
again, though, you can bet on that.
A fighter’s chief stock in trade is
the set of knuckles that he has. Jf
they go bad the worst has happened
to him.
• ♦ *
AJTT’HE fact that I hit straight in-
stead of swinging gives me a
lot of confidence in myself and makes
me feel that my knuckles are going
to stand the grind of many a hard
battle before they go to the bad. I
hook a good deal with my left hand,
but I have acquired the knack of get
ting the front of the knuckles and
not the side of the hand into the tar
get. So I don’t stand much chance
of getting any broken bones.” Which
shows that Matty is some wise little
chap, who is doing a lot of figuring
for himself in this game.
* * •
IF Matty gets away with Jeff O’Con-
* nell in the Racine scrap he will be
given a chance at Milwaukee with
Abe Attell. One of the clubs there
is trying to arrange the match.
The G. M. A. boys who have been en

Gambling on College Ball Games is Serious Evil
Bv Perry H. Whiting
T OO much money Is being bet
on the Georgia series. Betting
isn’t a commendable practice at
any time. It is especially to be de
preciated when the wagering is on
ball games. And It reaches its worst
when the gambling is done on col
lege ball games.
One thing that has helped the na
tional game in keeping its proud po
sition as the greatest of American
sports is its fairness
It will keep on being square as
long a« it is not regularly used as a
medium for gambling. When it is—
good night baseball. ,
College men ought not to bet on
their ball games.
Betting makes poor losers, quitters,
knockers and various assorted pests.
If your college team ip beaten, and
you lose nothing on it, you are likely
to take the defeat in sportsmanlike
fashion.
If It is beaten and you lose your
money you are sore as n pup.
It is particularly up to college au
thorities to urge their students to stay
away from betting. College men are
reasonable, if they are approached
right. Of course all of them could
not be controlled, but a majority
could.
Stay off the betting It's poor bus
iness*. *

V\7 ALTER JOHNSON is consult r-
able of a ball pitcher, as all will
admit. But the Southern League had
a man once who was pretty good
himself in the way of holding his
opponents runless.
This man was Moxie Manuel.
Moxie once pitched 54 innings with
out letting a run slip across.
When this happened and how has
escaped our leaky memory. It did
happen, though.
ft was probably more the result of
good luck than anything else for.
according to our belief, Moxie Man
uel was never a great pitcher.
* * *
A/fOXIE MANUEL has passed from
real baseball. If Walter John
son doesn't watch out he will, before
the allotted time, share the same
fate.
In past years Johnson has been a
sensible pitcher. He has* taken th/ngs
easy when his team was ahead. He
has performed the Mathewson stunt
and worked only when he had to.
A pitcher is foolish to force himself
to the utmost unless he is in a hole.
A brief exertion of his utmost ability
helps, rather than hurte, a pitcher’s
work. But let him extend himself to
the utmost for any long period qf
time and he injures his effectiveness.
Johnson is a marvel-—but he may
experience a slump as a result of
Ms heroic efforts to smash the record
for consecutive funlese innings.
* * *
\ FTER seventeen years of wonder-
ful playing Napoleon Lajoie may
realize his life-long ambition—that
of playing with a pennant winner.
Of course, it is only a remote
chance. But it appears about the
best chance Lajoie has ever had.
For seventeen years Nap has been
playing with good ball clubs. In 1805
the Cleveland club went out into the
lead and was once 100 points to the
good—but the Athletics won the pen
nant. At another time the big
Frenchman was on one of the great
est slugging teams of all history, a
team that numbered Ed Delehanty,
Elmer Flick. Harry Wolverton, Ray
Thomas and Eddie McFarland, as
well as N. Lajoie. But they couldn't
cop. At another time he played with
a team which included Bradley, Tur
ner, Hickman. Carr, Rossman, Stovall,
Flick, Harry Bay, Lush, Jimmy Jack-
son, Btlelow. Bcmis, Nig Clarke, Ad
dle Joss, Bill Bernhard, Moore,
Rhodes and Otto Hess—all in thpir
prime. Seldom has such a bunch of
Individual stars been gathered under
one roof. But they couldn’t cop.
This year Cleveland has less stars
and more ball club. It might possibly
win a pennant.
If it did N. Lajoie would be a help
ful man in the infield—AND AT BAT.

board from the hinterland has been
welcomed for all he was worth. But,

he first appeared away from *h

this is the first time anybody ever
commented on the fact excepting to
observe that he was not panned hard
enough.
The trouble is that with the long
fights and other encouragement
given the game on the farther coast
most of our best fighters have been
developed out there. Consequently
the Impression has arisen out there
that anything officially stamped and
sent along must be the goods, even
when they pick out a fly-flapping
somnambulist like McCarty. who
would be scared farther than Cal

If you have a persistent, nagging
bronchial cough beware of cough |
remedies. They are merely local in ■
action, and if they do relieve it is :
the narcotics that do it. What you
require is a blood purifier, a search- ,
ing antidote that removes from the i
circulation the acid poisons that by
their reflexes attack all weakened,
susceptible spots and thus create lo
cal symptoms. The very best remedy 1
known is Swift’s Sure Specific. You |
will find It on sale in any drug store !
at $1.00 per bottle. It goes straight '
into the blood, becomes an internal ;
blood bath, wonderfully stimulates !
the increase of red corpuscles, cures
all the local fever spots and irrita
tions, increases appetite, you take on
flesh and feel a wonderful sense of
renewed strength. Hundreds of peo
ple worried beyond control at cough, ,
pains in the chest, sore throat and
constant expectoration of thick mu
cus have experienced the most won
derful change after using S. S. S. All !
doubt and apprehension is gone, those
1 peculiar pains and aches vanish,
there follows a period of most in
tense rejoicing to find that worst <
fears were based entirely upon a mis
taken notion that cough and chest j
pains come from the lungs. These i
are rheumatic conditions, and you '
will quickly realize it after using S, '
S. S. for a few days. Get a bottle of i
8. S. B. to-day at the drug store and
then say good-bye to all those pains ;
that have worried you.
