Whiting. T HIS Is the big day. This after noon at 3:45 the Atlanta and Memphis teams will mingle in a big ball game—which is something of an event in itself. But what makes it a red letter, blue tag, follow-the- arrow, whoop-em-up-loud afternoon is that it's Ad- Men’s day at the ball perk. In order to add a flnaj touch of interest to the affair Manager Bill Smith has agreed to work his new hurler. Dent, the lad from the Wash ington Club who has never before ap peared on a Southern League slab. * » • 'T'HE Ad-Men’s Club has been work ing hard on this affair. They rt'ave sold tickets high and low. they have advertised the thing for keeps and they expect to make a peck of money. Also they deserve It. The Ad-Men will use the money raised here to paint the name "At lanta” in large, glowing letters on the doings of the Ad-Men’s Conven tion in Baltimore. They will use it to boost the Gate City. And if ever a burg owed a duty to boosters it is Atlanta, for they’re the lads w r ho made the Atlanta spirit famous. The Atlanta Baseball Association, in recognition of the great work that the Ad-Men’s Club did In drumming up attendance for the opening game has sold out Wednesday’s game at the lowest practicable price. All the receipts, over a small sum, will go to the Ad-Men for their Baltimore boosting. Here’s a chance for the folks of the Gate City to show that they ap preciate a lot of good boosters—and incidentally to see a good ball game— all for the usual price of admission. • * • | T’S lucky for the Southern League that the Atlanta pitching staff is somewhat punk. For if It weren’t the race would be a fright. With the pitchers going right the Cracker Club would look like a Fiat-120 in a pus’nmobile race. FTInstance yesterday: Bill Chappelle—big. old “Bell Cord” Bill, pitching his first game on At lanta soil in an Atlanta uniform— was decidedly right. The old boy had so much stuff it was brutal. . Through the fifth inning only five balls had been knocked out of the Infield and not a safe hit had been made. It wasn't until Chappelle had been rained on a couple of times and bad gone absolutely cold and al so not until the Crackers had ac quired a most overwhelming lead that thfe Turtles made a hit. Then they got but tw’o, bo*h scratches. ^Cow naturally, with a hurler go ing like that most any team could win a ball game. But the Crackers didn’t take any rhances—not they. They hammered the offerings of the Turtles’ prize hurler. “Jim” Kroh. for eleven hits and eleven runs in five innings. ♦ * * gUPPOSjC the Crackers’ hurlers hid gone all this season half or even a quarter as strong as Chappelle did yesterday? Why the little old Crackers would be out in front now w'ith a sickening lead It is a possible blessing for Papa Kavanaugn’s organization that the Cracker pitchers have wabbled vio lently In most of the games of the season. It has made the race in teresting. * * • V r ESTERDAY’S game was a fine 1 old lacing match. The (Tracker hurlers vied with each other in see ing just how many hits they could make off the frequently invinc'ble Kroh. Somehow it didn’t seem a good day for Krohs. After the first inning, when the Memphis star took a fine lacing he lost interest in the proceedings and relied exclusively on his lob ball from that time on. Captain Alperman, who had such a fine day in the field Monday, went crazy with the ash on Tuesday. Three timps he faced Kroh. Once he sin gled. twice he doubled, three times he scored. Bisland had no punk after noon himself. In three times up he walked once, singled once and three- b^ggered once. Long and Wel- chonce each made a brace of sin- • gles. * * • T WICE While the game was in progress wandering show'ers dal lied above the park for a few min utes. After the second one, with the Crackers leading 11 to 0 and dark ness approaching any umpire with a bit of decision would have ended tbe 4 agony. But instead Pfenninger dallied along for another half hour, forced the Crackers to play one more half inning, spoiled Ohappelle’s no hit game and then called the game Dn account of darkness.

May 21.—Gun- boat Smith won a questionable decision over Jess Willard in the white hope elimination contest here in a battle that was anything but interesting. The fight went the full twenty rounds. It proved Willard is a game fellow and can stand a hard punch. For that matter, there is a good deal of Tom Sharkey about him. He livens up and fights w r ith more readiness after taking a punishing swing on the ear or Jaw. Willard's range saved him from Gunboat’s best smashes. Smith had to jump to reach the target and as a rule his blows did not land sol idly. Once, at least, however—it was in the thirteenth round—Gunboat caught the Kansan with full force right on the chin. The punch did not seem to feaze Willard in the slightest. He tore after Smith and tried his best to land a right uppercut, but failed. Fourteenth Best Round. The fourteenth was probably the best round of the fight and was very much in Willard’s favor. He used a straight left to good purpose and had Smith slightly dazed and holding tightly from the effects of a right up percut. Smith fought in the same style man was dazed a trifle was when Wil lard caught Smith with that uppercut in the fourteenth. Kansan’s Attack Weak. The Kansan displayed no knowl edge- of the art of attack and that is what cost him a chance to smash Smith down with his greater weight. More than once he staggered the Gun ner with lefts and sent him up against the ropes, but that was where the novice w'ould stop, look around the ring as if inviting assistance and then allow* Smith come to a protecting clinch. Handicapped by the size of Wil lard, who towered over the ‘ smaller man and held him off at long range, Smith had fairly to leap from the canvas in order to score. His jump ing rushes and the punches that he landed brought results, and on several occasions Willard looked a mighty tired man. Manager Disputes Decision. Tom Jones, in the bitterness of los ing whaf"he thinks should have been no worse than a draw decision, made many unkind remarks about the w r ay he has been treated in the San Fran cisco pugilistic game. “It is only on a par w r ith other decisions which have been given against my fighters,” he said as Willard was being given treatment in his dressing room. "It f was downright robbery, that’s what it was." But Jones, when he cools down and has a chance to review the situation. L c throughout, keeping his head low and may be inclined to look at things dif- prodding at the body with the left Just as soon as Willard's guard was diverted to the stomach region, Smith swung either right or left for the face. Willard’s best punch was his straight left. The contest was devoid of krfock- downs, and the only time that either ferently. While it is true that Willard made a surprisingly good showing to the ring followers, who had not expected much of him. it is also true that had the Gunner followed the same course of failing to lead there never would have been much fighting.

Walker OS ANGELES, May 21.—Upon Promoter McCarey’s willingness to release Joe Rivers from a verbal agreement to box here on July 4 reste the fate of Eddie Graney’s proposed Rivers-Rltchie battle. Graney has arrived from San Fran cisco with a telegram from “Billy” Nolan accepting terms for a July 4 meeting with Rivers. Manager .Joe Levy, representing Rivers, listened to a proposition from Graney and an nounced that he would fill the North ern date if McCarey would release them from the agreement made to box here. “I will give my answer on Thurs day,” said McCarey. “It is asking me to give up a rich card but I don't want to stand between Rivera and a chande at the lightweight championship. I want a couple of days to revise my plans before making a definite state ment.” McCarey had planned to match Rivers against Ritchie or the winner of the Mandot-Anderson fight for July 4 at Vernon. “BUI” Aldridge is on his way to San Francisco for the purpose of signing the winner of the Jess VVillard-Gun- boat Smith fight to meet Luther Mc Carty at Venice on July 4. Promoter J. W. Coffroth nursed the Willard-Smith thing along for the one purpose of pitting the winner against McCarty on July 4. figuring that San Francisco would pay close to $40,000 for such a match. If Aldridge can go to Coffroth’s own town and match Jim for this card we will have to admit that “Bill” has been wasting his talent on the four-round game. “It’s an even bet that Aldridge lands the match,” said Harry Gilmore of the Venice club. “He’s taking along the bank roll and that’s the stuff that talks. “In a few days we will announce the name of the financier who is back ing us in the Venice venture. We have our twenty-round permit for July 4. and will start building our pa vilion inside the next two weeks.” Standing of the Clubs. W L. Pc. W. L.

WHO has recently been convincing him self that he is president of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs, went publicly or. record as giving a pair of umpires the black spot because they did not conduct themselves with suffi cient dignity when apart from th- scene of their daily afternbon dis turbances. Seemingly there is no stand ard in operation when the official uniform Is on. It is undoubtedly well that the office of umpire should be respected on tbe field and that he is entitled to protection in the plying of his unpopular trade, but he would certainly get a lot more of both if he acquired some of the dignity that Mr. Lynch con siders so necessary when he is resting. He has been protected and up held to the point where he has about as much dignity as the four- year-old habitual cry-baby that screws up its face and bellows for its parent if you happen to look at it in a manner that doesn’t meet w ith its entire approval , - * * * THE UMPIRE HAS THE SAME refuge. If a ball player looks cross-eyed or makes jiome perfectly parliamentary remark in a. tone, in which the umpire fancies-’die*de* tects a sneer, the umpire immedi ately orders him off the field and writes a three-page letter to the president of the league, giving hi in all the horrible details of the case. There is no doubt that frequently, smarting under a bad decision, a ball player cuts loose with a lot of talk that merits punishment. They are a lot of children In most ways. But the trouble is that we* have babies bossing children, and the fan is, as usual, the goat. Rows between umpires and play ers burlesqued the Giants-Cubs se ries’. for which a number of the loyal public gave up earned money. Our notion of nothing to travel ten miles for is to have an umpire — say. Klern. whose vocal exit is lib erally designed—stop the game at an exciting moment, pull off his mask, open a foot or so of one side of his face and snail toward the players’ bench: “Hey! Ten dollars for you over there!“ Dignity—that is •ximething else again, Mawruss. • • • IT IS TIMELY that Walter Johnson’s record of fifty-six innings of shut-out hall will stand as long as that world’s record for the po tato race which was established at the "Olympic” games in St. Louie in 1904. • * • “THE NAVY MADE ME," says “Gunboat” Smith.

Bud Anderson Knocks Out Mandot G O © © © Q © Right to jaw in Twelfth Stops Joe C HICAGO, May 21.— Eddie Mur phy redeemed himself last night at Konosha. He held the hard-hitting Jack Britton, of Chi cago, to an even break In a slashing ten-round scrap. The Boston boy had not been any too well thought of in these parts since Packey McFarland trimmed him for the second time last winter. But Chicago enthusiasts, who dashed through a driving rain storm to the Badger ringside, were loud in their praise of the Hub star. He fought the fight of his life and came home with colors flying. Murphy wore the proverbial yard- wide smile when he left the arena amid the cheers of the handful of bugs present. Murphy and Britton dished up a $5,000 windup for about a $900 gate. They fought as if they were sore about it, top. .Britton and Manager Dan Morgan were for postponing the affair just before gong time, but the promoters made them go through with it. Though there was no great damage done, it was a wonderful fight. Brit ton tried with his haymaker half a hp rid red times and Murphy started the fight when he saw an opening But in the main it was a battle of left hands, and Eddie showed that his southpaw is about as good a pis ton rod as Jack’s. Time after time they stood the ground and traded lefts to the face, each with rights poised that never got home. The rounds w'ere much alike.

LOUIS DEP0NTHIEU SHADES 0LLIE KIRKE IN 10 ROUNDS BINGHAMTON, N. Y. May 21.- Louis Deponthieu, champion of France, shaded Ollie Kirke, of St. Louis, in a ten-round boxing bout here last night. By H. M. Walker. i os A NOBLE ,, May 21.—Joe ^ Mandot may still be the idol of New Orleans to-day. but h* is far from enjoying that title among the fight fans who saw Bud Ander son knock him out here. A shjr; right to the jaw was the sleep-pr •- ducer. It cam® in the twelfth round. The finish was remarkable, in is- much as the New Orleans boy. af < r being knocked out, remained on his feet in an upright position. Mandot had taken such terrific punishment for several rounds that Referee Eyton, fearful of Joe’s condition, made no attempt to count, but held up Ander son’s hand and motioned for Man- dot’s handlers. Mandot was "out” for five or six minute?. In the twelfth, with Mandot paw ing, the air in helpless and aimbst fashion. Anderson drove the right, with an upward twist, to the jaw and Joe staggered back, with his chin resting on his chest and both arms hanging limp. Toward the ropes he tottered, and as Anderson sprang in to drop his man. Eyton interfered. Mandot tried to stagger in the direction of his corner, but his legs would not support him and his seconds quickly assisted him to the chair. From the start Anderson fought only for the body. Mandot’s left side, stomach and heart were the target:* for Anderson's smashing rights, and after the first furious body attack in the opening round. Mandot fought like one in a stupor. Either the Mandot of to-day has “gone back” 59 per cent from the form shown when he boxed Joe Rivers, or Anderson is an even, bet ter boy t ian his followers have given him credit for.
