COf^€ WiTMNve **40 QU'r A 6YfcA WHA'r gime, brought of bunting t Sulphur Dell. The new manager for the Turtles wrought Chick to Nashville from the Pirate? and It was due in a great measure to his grand twirling during that gruelling campaign with the Pelicans that enabled the Volf flash under the wire ahead. It would be a strange prank of Fate did the season which'fent Case to Montgomery allow history to re peat Itself and give the gonfalon to the Schw artzmen. It must be admitted that the Vols are displaying a bunch of nerve In harping on pennants with 1heir box- men doddering along and being blis- ered with wallops day after day, but if Schwartz ever should be able to gather a quintet of steady hurlers It would be hard to figure his crew among the flag contenders. To the naked eye the advantage gained by either Nashville or Mont gomery In the trade of Case for Pig gy Paige is not visible. Charlie is on his way, and has travelled a good distance toward the other end, while Paige is about through. Either will have to travel quite a bit before they meet a first-class twirler corning out. I Wanted to Join Turtles. Case would have preferred to land ■ with the Turtles and it would no j doubt have been better for him. for: he and Bernhard are great pals ami j Big Bill certainly did inject in some mysterious manner into Doc Sea- bough new life when he looked to be do.wn for the count. Fleharty is the only veteran re maining for slab duty and the bean- ball artist has not proved of any great I value to the club so far. If Schwartz I can land a high-grade mound artist. Ear! will be invited to visit hie home folks. But the Vols are having a tough time landing depend able flingers, having already hired and flred a list of alleged pitchers as long as the delinquent tax roll. The Reds continue to hang on to j Chick Smith, although they have sold this southpaw to the Vols. and, despite j the gaping holes in the wlab # corps. he has faib-d to put in an appear- i ance. He ought to bolster up the stuff considerably since a number of' the Southern League Clubs this sea- j son appear to be helpless against portsiders, the most the bunch being the Vols themselves, for any left-hander who waves his j glove in the fares of the Sohwartz- men has them beat to a frazzle. New pitcher on the Job. Jack Da ml ridge, the big rig lit hand - ; er who was signed as a free agent, is j in town awaiting the return of tlie club from the present road trip. He was with Vernon last season, won a j majority »>f his games and is in good j shape. Bill Schwartz appear* * to have foz-j L Bv H. M. Walker. OS ANGELES. CAL., May 19.— The fight that he will make against Joe Mandot next Tues day night will either “makp or break” Young Bud Anderson. The Medford hoy will either leave the ring as one of the best lightweight cards in the onspicuous of | country or an exploded “comer” with nothing better than second grade dates in store for him. Anderson and Mandot are matched to box twenty rounds before the Pa cific Athletic Club at Vernon on Tuesday night. The weight Is 133 pounds at 6 o’clock. There Is no choice In the betting, which is at ever, money.* Just as Joe Rivers began an un known and fought himself into a fo!- zied when lie turned down Rudy Summers, on account of‘the boy’sMowing of thousands, so Anderson Is health, since lie has been setting the l building for himself, and should be league afire for the Lookouts, era cl ing George Beck’s winning streak to say nothing of busting up the Gulls' long string. Schwartz had the dope of Rudy all wrong, for be figured he couldn't last in this cli mate another season, for the little fellow was always on the sick list while with the Vols. Surely a grand pitcher for a boy billed to the undertakers Williams Going Immense. The .sudden return to form of Lefty Williams and his feat of defeating the fast going Gulls twice in three days, one game running for eleven Innings with onU one scratch hit off his delivery, is the most encouraging happening of the present road trip. The Springfield. Mu., boy stood a great chance of finding a pink paper in bis mail just when he began to deliver the goods. He crowded right up into the select circle that so far ha* been monopolized by Beck, for whom the Reds offered 7,500 reg ular dollars and Reuben Renton Of Course the Vols* treasury is too small to accommodate such a swarm of dollars and there is no place on the team for Benton. Of course not. Time enough when the season is over to turn this trick and Beck will b^ worth ju-l as much then as lie would bring now if he keeps up bis brilliant work, and there is little chance of bis going the draft route for too many of the majors will be after him for that to happen. The quickest way for Hirsig to wreck baseball in Nashville would be to dispose of Beck, and Hirsig is too much interested in collecting the eggs to investigate the anatomy of the goose It's a great temptation, ad mitted. but the goes* eats entirely too utile to warrant any undue cu- win decisively over Mandot, a match between Bud and the Mexican would necessitate the enlarging of the arena building. Bud’s Best Punch Left Hook. Manager Dick Donald made an in teresting talk to-day concerning the chances of Ills protege. ‘‘Anderson's best punch is his. left hook.” said Donald. "He had little or no chance to use this blow against Brow n, as 'Kayo' fights with his right hand* extended. We realize that Man- dot is a fast and clever boxer. Were we foolish enough to try to outbox him, we probably would bo outpointed In every round. What we intend to do is to keep on top of Mandot and make him tight every Inch of the wav. I am as sure that Bud will stop Joe inside the limit as I am that 1 am standing here.” Mandot, working at Venice, lias trained faithfully. Joe figure# that Anderson has been greatly overesti mated and takes it for granted that he will have nn easy time of it with the Oregon youth. Mandot’s Manager Confident. “We know exactly where we stand in tills affair.” said Manager Tommy Walsh. Monday. We have been brought out here to act as a trial horse. We art' willing to be called a trial horse so long as it gets us the money. Mandot is a more scientific man, is a better ring general, and has had much more experience than An derson. He w ill make this young chan look like a booh. We figure, though, that by stoo ping a young fellow like this boy that Joe will he in line for another crack at Rivers. We are easy to do busi ness with. Wednesday morning wnl find us ready to sign articles with either Rivers. Ritchie, Welsh, Dross or Murphy.” The lowing nf a distant cow, The wavbUng of a lark, Arc all that stir the village now The forge is cold and dark.

Under the workmen’s compensation act, Ty Cobb is entitled to $10 a week while hors du combat. Under the pres ent circumstances the rest of the team is entitled to that amount while play ing The consensus of opinion is that the United States League died of Infantile paralysis. If we mistake not, the United States League once offered Ty Cobb $15,000 a year. Still. It was a great little offer. FAKE. Though the motorbikes were scooting And the frenzied crowd teas rooting, \of a single man was seen to break his back. “They are all a bunch of fakers Said a pair of undertakers T' T I0VV YORK, May li>. The race in the National League so far this season has been the most unsettled one F have seen since I came into the big league. The going of the first three clubs in the American League has been steadier and more according to the dope. The National League has been crowded with upsets and surprises. Of the two teams that were leading the National League through the first weeks of the race, one Is holding up, but none too strongly, and the other has wilted. The Cubs and Phila delphia made the early going, and the. Phillies spent last week struggling to keep ahead of the plunging Brooklyn boys. The Chicago club has cracked badly since invading the East, and I cannot see it as a pennant contender. It looks like a bad road club, and the traveling ability of the old Chicago machines was what won the pennants for them. • * • HE percentage table is still all tangled up, and the teams have shown little inclination to straighten themselves out in the order it was expected they would before the seasoli opened. The (Hants were tile only rated contenders who approached their natural form last week. The New York club bucked up consider ably and settled to something like its normal stride, although it is still very unsteady in the field. Mctiraw, fighting the old over-confi dence which was holding the team down, tore (lie club apart and shook up Ills batting order until it now looks as if he had found a strong combination. By sticking Shafer in center field he has propped up the club In the hitting department, and seems to have slipped a plug in the right place. Shafer has been batting as bard as anybody on the team this season, and is playing wonderful hull. HE pitehers are returning to form. Tesreau showed some of his last season’s stuff in a game against the Cubs last week, when he delivered the tiest battle he has pitch ed so far this season. Demaree is a great addition to the staff, but lias i>een working in very hard luck so far, giving few hits and losing many games through bad support. Mar- quard is not himself yet, but he has hardly recovered entirely from weak ness following tile attack of tonsilitis. Naturally, I cannot see any club but the (Hants for the pennant. I know we have the stuff there, and the team is Vietter this year than last. The aggregations we have to beat to get into first place now are the Brook lyn and Philadelphia clubs, and it does not strike me that either one can hold up through a gruelling race. They should cause us little worry. Brooklyn has liecn playing great ball, the dashing, irresistible, winning sort, but it is not a pennant team. * * # P ERSONALLY, T still have faith in the Pittsburg club. I appreciate that 1 am in the small minority, even many of the Pittsburg fans having deserted the ship after the team had lost seven straight games in the East, four of these going to Boston. Hav ing played against the Pirates. I know them for battlers. They are like the Giants. They have not got going, but their poor start has brought no tears of sorrow to our eyes, because it is generally realized among us how they are liable to fin ish. The team is playing bad ball, but it is only necessary to read over the list of the names of the men asso ciated with the Pittsburg movement to realize it will play better hall very shortly.

JOE RIVERS WILL NOT BOX RITCHIE AT FRISCO l/»S ANGELES, May 19. “Joe Rlv era will not box Willie Ritchie at Satt Francisco on July 4," said Promoter T. J McCarey. of the Pacific Athletic Club, to-day, relative to the announce ment Iasi night b> Ritchie's manager that a match for tHe lightweight cham pionship had been arranged with Ed die Graney McCarey declared Rivers bad agreed to box at Vernon arena on the Fourth of July with any lightweight selected by McCarey. PENN STAR GETS TEXAS JOB. PHILADELPHIA. PA.. May 19. Texas Rumsdell, Penn football star and runner, has been elected director of athletics at the University of Texas. Honey Mellody, ex-champion welter weight of the world, has retired from the boxing game for good. The other day lie had a cataract removed from his eye. He will be compelled to wear glasses the rest of his life. ♦ * * Leach Cross received $1,000 for de feating Johnny Dohan last week at New York. * * * Tom McCarey may give Jim Flynn, the fighting fireman, another chance at the heavyweight title. The coast promoter may match Flynn against the winner of the Luther McCarty-Pelky bout, if the cowboy refuses to meet the Smith-Willard w inner. * * * However, Flynn must beat Savage when the two heavyweights clash here June 9 in order to get the match Dan ny Morgan, manager of Savage, has al ready received several offers for his protege's service, providing Savage is the winner Both heavy weights are do ing light training out East for the match. * ♦ * The Mike Saul-Terrv Nelson scrap, which will* be staged as the semi windup to the Flynn-Savage sei-to. should also be a corker. Although neither boy is a champion, both are good w'iiling sluggers, and should put up an interesting mill. They are bill ed to go ten rounds. * * * Meyer Pries stopped at the Georgian sporting department the other day long enough to announce that he would like to get on with Spider Britt again. These two bantams put up a corking mill for six rounds about a month ago. * * * Joe Thomas will have a chance Mon day night to redeem himself for his former defeat at the hands of Charlie White. the Chicago speed marvel. Thomas and White meet in a ten-round battle at New Orleans, and the Jur should fly. • • • Matty McCue may meet Abe Attellt^ at Kenosha, Wis., before long Nate | Lewis, matchmaker of the Kenosha club, is trying hard to get the ex champion to clash with the Racine sen sation We would advise Abraham to be extremely' careful if he dons the gloves with Mr. McCue. * * * In the other match between the pair Thomas was stopped in eight rounds, but be blamed the defeat to a lucky punch White landed on his chin in the second session. That is, Thomas says the punch was lucky. Toni McCarey has wired an offer to Jimmy Johnson, of New York, to bring George Rodel. the Boer heavyweight, to Vernon for a battle with Bull Young, a promising heavyweight, w'ho helped train McCarty for several bouts on the coast. h took Matty just 90 seconds to pol ish off Jeff O'Connell, one of the tough est featherweights in the game to-day. O'Connell has fought such stars as Wol- gast (four times). Frankie Whitney, Frankie Conley and others. « * * Not satisfied with having been knock ed out twice by Soldier Kearns. "One- Round" Davis, the Buffalo heavyweight, asked for a return match after he was put away in Buffalo a few nights ago, and Kearns agreed. They will meet for the third time at Buffalo on the night of June 6. Mike Gibbons and Jimmy Perry will exchange blows in a scheduled six- round affair at Pittsburg May 29. Per ry will have to be at his best against (lie St. Paul boy, as Mike has been going great of late. Billy Kyne, the Frisco fight promoter, lias offered a $10,000 guarantee to Wil lie Ritchie, lightweight champion, to meet Joe Rivers on the coast July 4. If Ritchie accepts, Kyne says he will build a big open air arena TWO WHITE SOX TWIRLERS ARE OUT OF THE GAME CHICAGO, May 19.—Two of the stellar lights in the White Sox pitch ing corps are out of commission, but Manager Callahan Is comforted by the thought that he has a reserve pitching staff second to none in the American League. Eddie Cicotte re ported to his chief to-day that he is suffering from tonsilitis and will not be able to work for several days. Ed Walsh was called to Meriden, Conn., by the death of a relative. STONE DEFEATS SUMMERS. BRISBANE. AUSTRALIA, May 19. Harry Stone, the American fighter, yes terday defeated Johnny Summers, the British middleweight champion, on points in a twelve-round contest. BASEBALL TO-DAY MEMPHIS vs. ATLANTA Ponce DeLeon Park 3:30 o'clock finished and the leagues are busted and done. When the fattest magnate has wilted and no longer gum shoes for span. We shall rest—go bark to the bushes and lie up a season or so Till the master of all the magnates announces the real big show. And those that were bugs shall be happy—they shaft sit in a tcn-cent seat (The which shall be back of the catcher) and hare free pea nuts to eat. They shall have new umps to cuss at—nice targets, broadlike and tall: They shall peg bottles at them for hours and never be tired tit all. And none of our bunch shall mak< bobbles and all of our bunch shall wake hits: They shall fall on. the enemy's twiriers and pummel them all into bits: And there with his "smoke" and his "fader"—this is the sure thing of all— lie shall sec the same trusty old Matty still pitching his old shut-ball! THERE ARE THE MAKINGS of a humorist in a young man who boxed in a preliminary at a local club a few weeks back. His oppo nent was pounding his face with great skill and accuracy, and when he re turned to his corner his second growled: "Stop some o’ them—stop some o’ them!” “Stop ’em!” retorted the fighter, indignantly. "You don't see any of ’em get tin’ by, do you ?” Out of the South the wild news eame: “The Crockers win another game." rpHB promoters of the boxing con- j tests to be staged at the Audi torium-Armory June 9 have now clinched two erackerjack ten- round bouts. In the main event Jim Flynn will hook up with Jim Savage. In the semi-windup Mike Saul and Terry Nelson will travel over a sched uled ten-round route. There is still one other ten-round scrap to be ar ranged. It is likely that Spider Britt and Meyer Pries will be selected to meet in the other ten-rounder. These lads always put up a corking battle when pitted against each other. They have met a half dozen times and the resuit has always been doubtful. In a ten-, round mill it’s a cinch that one or the other will have earned a big enough lead to give him the decision. Kid Young also wants to get on. But there is nobody around this neck of the woods who is of his weight and at the same time in his class. It may be just possible, however that in case Britt and Plies can't agree on weight, terms; etc., that some topnotch boy will be imported to meet Young. 606 SALVARSAN 914 Neo Salvarsan The two celebrates German preparation' that have cured per manently more case' of syphillts or blood poison In the last twt years tham has beer oured In the history cl the world up to the time of this wonderfu discovery.
