4 ' < t THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, FRIDAY, MAY 20. IMA. t BE HELD JUNE 13 T HF J!m Flynn-Jim Savage ten- round bout will be staged at the Auditorium on June 13. The heavyweights were originally sched uled to exchange blows June but the wrap has been moved back four days on account of the Buffalo Bill circus, which will be here the latter date. The Fireman fights Jim Coffey at New York Friday night and will leave for Atlanta soon. The promoters of •he Auditorium show have made ar rangements to have both contestants on the battle ground ten days be fore the scrap, which should give the fans ample time td see the two heavyweights in their training work. Savage has been boxing several of the big hopes in New York and is being touted as a real contender for the heavyweight crown. His bout with Flynn should prove a great chance for the clever hoy. Many of the Eastern boxing followers, who have seen Savage in action lately, are boosting him as another Jim OorbetY * * * T HE winner of the Auditorium show ■ will probably meet Gunboat Smith or Luther McCarty. McCarey and Coffroth both have their eyes peeled on the June 9 show and it would not be surprising to see the coast pro moters send for the winner. Two other good ten-round battles will be held in connection with the heavyweight tilt. Mike Saul, well known around these parts as one of the toughest lightweights, will prob ably meet Eddie Hanlon in one of the battles, while Spider Britt and Meyer Pries may swing the padded gloves in the other set-to. * * * T HESE three mills should certainly bring together some dandy mill ing. Fans who have seen Britt and Pries box against each other know what a sterling scrap they usually put up. Each has a grudge against the other and a bloody contest is usually the result. The last time the two boys met, Britt was awarded a slight shade by the referee, although most of the fans present thought a draw was the cor rect verdict. After the scrap Mike Saul, the referee, said he would have called the mill an even thing had Pries not indulged In foul tactics. * * • CAUL and Hanlon need no introduc- ^ tlon to local fandom. Mike was rated as a contender for the light weight crown untl] he lost on a foul to Abel when out of shape. Mike says he is out to win back his lost laurels and many of the local fans are with Mike to the last. Hanlon has always claimed that Saul was one boy whom he could lick. SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT • • • • Rummy Should Worry • • • • Copyright, li>13. International News Serrle*. • • • • By Tad Sports and Such THE STANDING of the clubs in the big leagues at this waiting forms a fine chance for that much- talkea-of “rushing attack” in base ball which is known as the “base running game.” It is a theory of students of the great national pastime that a team of fast and skillful base steal- er? hay a tremendous edge at the go-off in a battle with a team less jrifred In this direction. Let us give a look: 'The Boston Americans, the worifs champions, are popularly known as the Speed Boys, a name which arose from the dazzling rapidity with which they are wont o flit from base to base. This >eymH to be an off season for flit ting. The Red Sox are not only way down in the league race, but rlvy are also way down in the base-stealing records for the sea son. * * * THERE ARE OTHER EXAM PLES that might be pointed out. but there is no use rubbing it in, and we don't owe Boston any con sideration anyway. The Red Sox are enough to prove the point, which is namely, to wit. i. e.—that a losing club doesn’t pull any “rus'hing attack” stuff. Base steal ing i« the diversion of winners. It is not so much a cause as an effect.. Base stealers are the lancers of a baseball army. They are highly spectacular, but useful only when the battle is half won. In the old days of the great game of war no general In his •senses ever sent cavalry against an unshaken defense. Napoleon, through a mistaken conception of the situation, did it at Waterloo arvd lost. It is the same way with base stealing in baseball. When you have the other team on the run you can complete the rout by running wild on the bases, but we have never yet seen a team run wild to any extent when it is five runs behind. It is true, of course, that an In dividual base runner k like C’obb, for instance. will occasionally steal second at a critical moment and thus lay the foundation of a winning run. But this is beside the main point—that barfe stealing as a system of offense in a ball game Is nix.

The weak “sisters” seem con spicuously absent. In other years, the Dodgers, Cardinals and Braves were the pie counters for the triple alliance. But a new order of events now exists. * * * The alliance, composed of the Giants. Cubs and Pirates, has been dissolved. The trio that has roosted in and around first place for ten years has been oust ed, and a new state of affairs has come to pass. * * * Whether the Phillies. Dodgers. Car dinals and even the lowly Braves can keep up the clip they have been trav eling is a question. Perhaps they 11 falter farther along, but even if they do they have already dealt the mighty trio such a terrific wallop that there will be no runaway race for any one of the trio, as in years gone by. * * * A similar condition exists in the American League. No one team has a cinch. A trifle more than 400 points separates the leading Athletics from the Yankees. But the Yankees are due to move along in the percentage column. Chance has had a hard time getting his team started, but as soon as his pitch ers round into shape they will furbish trouble for the leaders. The Browns are not the snap team of other years. The Tigers are begin ning to add to their win column. The Red Sox. although far down in the standing to-day, have the power, and when once the machine gets well oiled it will furnish considerable trouble for the leaders. . • • * The Athletics have been traveling at a fine rate, despite the illness of Jack Coombs, the star flinger. The Naps and White Sox seem to have the “punch this vear and the Senators are showing that their speed of last year has be come a permanent possession. 9 9* Careful examination of Carl Cashion'a injured arm demonstrates that a liga ment is badlv torn and the big lad may be out for the entire season.

Local Club Is Stronger Than Gulls By Percy H. Whiting. T HE Cracker team has the most deadly attack ever seen In the Southern League. Napoleon’s pet troops or a band of war-pathing Comanches look tame beside them. Day after day they drive pitchers to cover. All teams look alike to them. All pitchers are the same. They can slug the ball over the lot; they can beat out bunts if by chance they lay them down; they can wait out a wavering pitcher; they can run bases; they can use the hit-and-run; they shine at the run-and-hlt. There isn't an offensive maneuver, barring the bunt, at which they do not shine. m 9 it \17HY this team shouldn’t wallop the stuffing out of Mike Finn s club YV in three out of every four battles, provided the Cracker pitchers made even a half-decent show, we can't see. Nor can anybody who Wit nessed yesterday’s game. Mike Finn has a pretty well-balanced club. Paulet. Stock, Starr and O’Dell are good men. Of course, alongside of Agler, Alperman, Bisland and Smith they don’t look so much—but that's a fair average infield. Clark. Jacobson and Robertson are good outfielders, but in offensive and defensive strength they do not average up to the Crackers. In catching strength the teams are about a stand-off if the Gulls hope to beat Atlanta out of the pennant they better have pitchers who are about eleven times as strong as the Crackers' slabmen. * « »t I N Thursday's game the Cracker pitcher had all the advantage. Two veterans were out—Brady and Campbell. Of course It is not insinuated that Brady classes with Campbell In antiquity, but then he's no fledgling. And Brady plastered it all over Campbell. "The King" held the dangerous Campbell hitless, didn't give the sav age Robertson one he could push out of the infield, and had the rest of the collection swinging themselves sick at his offerings. In the meantime the Crackers were eating Campbell alive, and finally ended by piling up nine hits for eleven bases In six innings. With the Crackers ahead. 7 to 2, the game was called on account of darkness, with the rain falling hard and everybody ready to call it off and go home. w m « B EFORE the Mobile season is over some cast-off Is going to figure. They always do. Mobile has O’Dell and Senteli, former Crackers. Atlanta has Long and Dunn, former Gulls. So something has to happen. In yesterday's game the ex-Gu!ls now with the Crackers had all the better of the argument. Senteli didn't play, and A1 O’Dell made a couple of errors. Long made three hits out of four times up, while Dunn kicked over a single and threw faultlessly to second. Bill Smith offered a direct challenge to the Gulls by using Joe Dunn. Before the season opened Mike said, in all kindness but with great firm ness, that Joe Dunn's arm was gone. Probably he really thought it. But Dunn’s work this year hasn’t proved Mike's prediction. And to-day Smith stuck in Dunn, just to show up Mike. Only one Gull tried to steal, and he was pegged out easily. k H k M IKE FINN Is playing himself up as the victim of misguided confi dence. Understand. Mike doesn't mean that he's been the goat of a confidence game—you see it’e like this: After the Gulls began to gather this spring, a fake “signed statement," alleged to have been written by Mike, appeared in various papers around ■the circuit and was played up strong In Mobile. Then the season opened and Mike's "statement” went over strong. The result was that the Gull fans lost Interest. ‘‘It's got so bad now," said Mike, "that they don't come out at all to see us play. Once in a while a few will turn out, sort of to celebrate our having won a pennant. The rest of them have dismissed the season as a closed incident, have credited themselves with a pennant won and have turned to other things. It's a fine fix, with the season just started and | our team losing a game or two a day." * m, * T HE suspicion prevails that the Gull fans will have only to consult the standing of the clubs to wake themselves up by the time the team returns home. The Gulls have lost the last three games straight, and the last six out of seven. They are going about as poorly now as a team can go. ll will not take them long to kick away their lead at this rate. Before returning home the Gulls have to play two more games with the Crackers, three in Chattanooga, four In Nashville and four in Memphis. Any of the Tennessee clubs might furnish trouble for the Gulls, now that they have flickered. And a 4V£-game lead can he shot to bits in five games, if they turn out right. Anyhow, the Crackers will try to do what they can for the noble cause BOXING News of the Ring Game BASEBALL SUMMARIES Sporting Food New York will have another chance to see Jim Flynn in action Friday night The Pueblo fireman will don the gloves with Jim Coffey in a scheduled LO-rountl bout. “Soldier" Kearns and George Rodel will clash in the semi-windup • * * This will be Flynn's last battle before he meets Jim Savage at the Auditorium here next month.
