WlMBiP' 1 t * * THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THERSDAY. MAY 22. 1913. GREAT DREAD IF By Otto <\ Kioto. P ackey McFarland is out again with the statement that * lie will not make weight for any man living. "I think 1 am a light weight. and If any of the men of that class meet me it will he at practi cally catch weights by which I mean, say 135 pounds at 3 o'clock on the day of battle. That’s near enough to the lightweight poundage for me ’’ And still 1 have it from one who knows that if McFarland would real ly agree to train he could make the 133-pound limit, which after all if the official weight "f th< class. Per sonally. I have my doubts and don't believe he can do any such low weight and be "right and fit.' and a man who enters a battle unless well prepared for it is a fool. No one has ever yet accused Far-key of being in any way weak- in his business train ing The real truth of the matter is that Packey has a dread fear way down deep in his heart. It haunts him every time he thinks of it. and for that rea son refuses to "make weight." McFar land fears the awful "white plague." He is under the impression that a pugilist who continually trains and battles is heir to It. and all the argu ment in the world can't shake this conviction from his mind That’s the real truth, and the why and where fore that keeps Packey from agree ing to the 133-pound notch. • * • 117F have before us the names of three victims three of the most wonderful champions that ever lived who were carried away by the great est foe the flesh must combat. Mc Farland has probably read the old volumes of P/istiana and learned these things for himself—else why this hor rible dread of reducing whenever ask ed to do so? There are many more of the fighting brigade that exited out of this old world with the cough, but three will be sufficient to men- ' ton First and foremost we have Tom Sayers, the greatest man of his weight and inches that England ever pro duced. And at the time of his hold ing the championship Britannia rul ed the world in pugilism. Sayers, never much more than a middle weight. fought all the hcavtes they brought to him. Only Bob Fitzsim mons, in our time, could be compar ed to him. Sayers was only defeat ed once, and that by Nat Langham. hia battle with Heenan being a draw. Sayers died from tuberculosis before he had reached his fortieth year. Con stant training preparing for battle hastened his death • • • T HEN there was Peter Jackson, the wonderful Australian and without any doubf whatever the greatest heavyweight that ever lived. True. Peter was not forced to "make weight, hut he w-as required to train, and in doing so trained away a lot of vitality which brought about his sick ness, and add to this the fact that he continually exposed himself to the weather It’s only a few years ago that Joe Cans went by the same route. Noth ing more than his constant reducing to make the required weight bi-ought on the dreaded plague to (Tans. He drew upon Nature to so great an ex tent in reducing away the flesh that should have remained on his frame, that the old machine of flesh and bones ora ked under the strain, and be passed away, barely having gone over the 30-vear line. So with Sayers and Jackson it was the constant grind of getting into shape, while with Bans it was ridding himself of muscle and strength. The end of all these three great cham pions was the same, however, and brought about by the same methods. It is the. dread of thi occurrence that has struck fear into the heart of McFarland'. and that’s whv he won't tackle the job. AND yet Packex if. determined to ** battle the men who agree to live up to the rules and make the pound age the official code c ills-for. So then he cannot be classed as p Hgjit\\eight There cannot If* made any exceptions for one man without making the same concession to all If 133 pounds is too light for that division and Wolgast. Nelson. Rivers and other champions declare it is NOT then we will have to establish a new weighj. But suppose we make the mark 135 pounds What then? Along would come some box who couldn't make it. but could scale down to 137 pounds. Wouldn't he have the same right to demand battles against lightweights as McFarland demands now? Of Course he would, and the first thing we know the lightweight limit will he souring somewhere around the 140- pound level A 140-pound man comes pretty near to knocking for admission to the wel terweight set. and our hgb4 weight patron^ would be eliminated from hii.\ standing at all. They’d be like a man without a country—too light for the 140-pound men and too heavy for the featherweights. it*! -EXPERT BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip You Can Make Pare Lager BEER In Your Own Home—with Johann Hofmeister Genuine Lager Beer Extract Tou c*c ncm brew your own beer- -beet you rr«r tented—eeelly, cheaply, right In your own aome With Johann Bofmeister Bee: Extract acy sne can make the saipe high Quality laarr beei that has bean ttadr tr Germany for u r > la the tatne honest, old faahloned way Beer thM‘» to taety, wholesome, aailafykva rtrr* member of 4he family wtti surely be delighted with It.

CHRISTY MATIitWSOK'S BIG LEAGUt GOSSIP N EW YORK, May *22. The Athletics still steadily maintain their winning pace in the American league with a insistence which looks as if they would surely take the pen nun* \Vf««h1riflrtnn has onooimforo<l CMnaiHurnhlu hm*H i.w.L- ami ih<> >'|uh of Griffith riant. Washington has encountered considerable hard luck, and the has fallen off the monstrous pace at which it started the season, largely because the two ends of the Washington infield have Irecn in the game only irregularly. Cleveland is the surprise of the race. The Washington club has two weaknesses at present. On** is the pitching staff, outside of Walter Johnson, and the other is the torn up infield, which takes away the normal speed of the team. If Johnson could pitch every day there Would not 1#* any question raised in the Ajnericnn League about which club will win tlie pennant. That would lie settled now. But Johnson cannot pitch every day. and an argument therefore remains in thr league. Besides Johnson, no other Washington pitcher has shown exceptional form this year, with the possible exception of tJroome, who Is an in-and-oiiter at irest. “Live me one airtight pitcher,” Griffith used to wail constantly when he was managing the (Mncinnatl club. “and I will win a pennant.” 'TMIKY gave him about the airtight * est one in the buAirless when lie joined out with Washington, and darned if he didn't almost grab the flag. Then tills year, when it looked as If lie had his Irest chance to take the championship, Foster, tin* young third-baseman whom Griffith had raised and carved out into a hig leaguer, was taken ill with typhoid fever and will lx* out of the game for several weeks. Landil, the first base man who lias done so well for tin* Washington club, was injured some time ago, and is out of the game. (Mark Griffith asserts that it was Landil who put tin* team on a win ning basis last summer. One good player, tilling up a weak spot, will often do tills for a club. The Wash ington team Imd been badly beaten by tin* Yankees in a series last spring, and the club seemed to In* going to pieces rapidly, Griffith got on a train on Saturday night with Mon treal as his destination. "I made up my mind,” said <»rif fith, in telling about the purchase later, “that something had to Im* done and (lone quickly to plug that hole at first base if the team was to 1h» kept from falling out of the league. I paid $12,000 to the Montreal club for I»an- dil at a time when tlie Washington management could 111 afford to spend that amount of money. It was just after <Hindil joined the team we start ed our winning streak which ran up to seventeen games, and we got the* purchase price back many times dur ing this victorious spell. (Hindil had rounded out the infield.” • • * C ~* IUFFITH’S game has been speed. 2 It was tlie s|ieed that won the games for the Washington club last have hurl the Washington team’s chances for the pennant, although I Indleve it still has a look-in. The sea son is young, and the Athletics may have an attack of injuries, “(’onnie” Mack’s pitchers don’t look any too good anyway, outside of Render and Blank. And Griffith is still asking for a pitcher. "(Jive me one airtight left-hander,” he says now. And in the next breath, “There is no such animal at large.” Washington Im.vs. His strength lies in his pitchers and Lajoie and Jack- son. The rest of the team has not the ruggedness to make a tough fight of it for. the iiemiant. T UK Athletics, of course, are the O N the one hai club is the hand, the Cleveland sensation of the American League, and. on the other hand, as the orators say. the Boston team is the big surprise of the race to date. The Cleveland boys are startling because of their unexpected good showing, and the Boston Red Sox, champions of tpc world, because of their surprisingly poor display. Birmingham seems to be a natural- horn manager, one of the few any where in the world. As a makeshift, he took hold of the team last year after it had all tin* heart beaten out of it by nearly every club in the American league, and tie gave Cleve land tin* first good baseball that it lias watched in several years. With practically the same men that worked for the club last year, Birmingham has set his team up in the fight for the pennant this time. Even with the mighty Frenchman. Lajoie. out of the lineup, they gave the Athletics a very stiff argument in the series last week. to date, and are liable to remain the | class of it indefinitely, from all indi cations. 1 do not see any club that can lieat them out of the pennant. I The team is moving at its old time speed, and the players are awake to the fact that they must keep hustling. None of the old listlessness which beat the club last year Is apparent this season. 1 do not see who can stop them. Mack has two veteran pitchers who are reliable. Plank and Bender, and he can piece out his pitching from the rest of the staff for the remainder of the games. That club will absorb a lot of bad pitching and still win ball games, because it hits so hard. v KT 1 tl! IT the Yankees, considered to lie lie easiest team in the league and as welcome anywhere as an in berltance, upset the Naps badly. By a study of tin* Cleveland club, it strikes me that Birmingham lias a very small chance of lien ting out the year. Without Foster and Landil the Washington infield is badly slow ed up. Laporte. who is taking Fos ter’s place, is exceptionally slow on his feet. These two missing players Athletics, and if would surprise me greatly to see him finish above the T- HK condition of the Red Sox, which deserves some exjiert at tention, is not to lie explained easily. There air*/ the same men who won the championship of the world, hut fhe team is all off its balance. The pitchers who did such remarkable work last year are not pitching any ball at all this season. Of course, some of my readers may advance the argument that I think the Giants and Pittsburg still have a chance for the pennant in the National League, yet they botn get away to bad starts. That is true. But the Giants and Pirates have not such clubs as the Athletics and Washington to overtake, as have the Red Sox. The Boston team will finish in tin* first division, where it normally lielongs. hut I do not lielieve it has better than a very outside chance for the championship, ft is below' its regular residence in the standing of the clubs now as it was above it last season.
