• ♦ t i V THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Us Boys B«rU*«r«d DniUrl States Patent Office Skinny Made a Near-Catch of It By A. II. C. Mitchell. B OSTON. July *3 —The question of the moment seems to be, -How will Bill Carrigan succeed as manager?" It Is, of course, easier to ask the question than to answer It. In fact, it is Impossible to an- iwer it, because Bill has not had a chance to aemonstrate his ability In a managerial capacity. However, it may be said that there is no good reason why he should not make success of It. Ball players generally agr**e that Bill has baseball brains. He 1? a thinker, and as a catcher, he has to be a quick thinker or sit on the bench. IT is the opinion of the writer that * Wagner would not want the posl tion if it were offered to him. Ho is perfectly content to be captain of the team Wagner is really a vef shy and diffident man. While he m a star ball player and a splendid captain, it. is doubted if he would fit In well as a manager. Doubtless Wag ner would say*the same thing if he were asked about it £E£, t WISH l COULD 6EM WATCH "WE 5 MOTHER l 7 YKT AONER and Carrigan are the VV ever since they both became members of the squad. They are roommates. They comprised the "Board of Strat egy” of the Red Sox organization last season when the team won the pen nant. It is more thin probable th.u this combination will resume busi ness again now that Carrigan has been appointed manager. The meet ings of the "Board’* were discon tinued during the world’s series last fall, when Darrlgan was not allowed to go behind the* bat by Stahl, but was sent to the coaching line Instead. It is asserted that Stahl was Jealous of the publicity accorded the "Board' and decided to show all persons whom It might concern that he wav the real, sole and only manager of the team. Of course, this report the writer h is no first-hand information, but Stahl's actions In the series would seem to bear out the assertion. ipOD FOR FANS cooKeo we BEATED THE WMKIS* YESTERDAY -1 D6NT KNOW VMHAT THE $CO(l€ UlAS *£CA0$e THE *0Y VUHAf WAS KEEPING |T DIDN’T HAVE NO PAPER.

And if things go along all right he w ill have a chance to share his team for next year. It is hardly within the range of possibilities for the Red Sox to win the pennant this wear. It seems to be too late. But the team can make a good finish If properly handled, and that Is the work cut out for Manager Bill. Carrigan has the respect and confidence of his players Stahl was well llke<J. for that matter, but when the play ers realized that he was making wrong moves and not using the be%i Judgment in the handling of his team it, no doubt, had a bad effert on them. SANTA MONICA WILL GO AFTER SAVANNAH MARK LOB ANGELES, July '.—Tlie Santa Monica road race, to be run on August 9, will be one event open for all cars of 600 cubic inches and under, covering the course 63 times for n total of 445 miles This announcement was made aft er a meeting of the Santa Monica road race committee, making a radi cal departure from previous runnings of the coast classic. The moat Important reason ad vanced for making the change and increasing the distance by nearly 60 per cent was so that the contestants might go after the grand prize record for 400 miles made on the Savannah course. Because the 120-horsepower Fiat with which Teddy Tetzlaff won the last race and established a new world’s record is above the displace ment restriction, the cur has been eliminated from this year’s race. $20,000 FOR RITCHIE FOR THREE N.

C -CHICAGO, July — Tlie nn- nouncement of the age limit tournament at Shokie suggests another thought. There is an in creasing number of age-limit tour neys in the golf world about Chicago and u decreasing number of open events for young golfers. The age-limit events are excellent things, but the lack of Junior events is hard upon the young goifers. who can only look forward to "coming of uge" ami the chance, in consequence, of bringing up future great golfers becomes smaller yearly. Didn’t Know Own Ability. A player does not know his ability until h<* enters Into competition with other players In my own case, I did not know that 1 was a first iiight- er until my tournament scores dis closed the fact. The big champion ships, of course, are always open to players with a low handicap, but the field is usually large and the players’ abilities closely matched. If the young players can only enter these tourna ments he will soon quit competitive golf, for the champion is only made after years and years of hard work. The beginner in the big tourna* ments would probably be so far sur- pa««ed that he would lose courage and drop out of the game, for me promising young player must be pro vided with an occasional victory to keep his heart up. Youngsters Want Competition. The business man enjoys golf as an exercjae. but the youngster has hun dreds of ways of getting exercise, and there is a chance that he may denert golf unless he has a better way of showing his skill. It is true that he will be sorry later on. but the aver age Individual lives in the present. Just now, there seem to be very few young golfers of exceptional promise, and this dearth may, in part, be attributed to lack of competitive opportunities The championship next week max diK*lo*e some new lights, but the chances are that the old, familiar names will be seen at the top of the list of qualifiers and in the last four. Packey McFarland, who does not be lieve in fighting during the hot months, has Just made an announcement in Chi cago to the effect that he has no inten tion of donning the mitts again until the second week in September "I only hope that my next bout will be with Willie Ritchie," said Packey, "for I think that I can wrest his title from him." Tommy Burns and his heavyweight, Arthur Pelky, are now in Frisco. Burns is trying to get his protege a match with Gunboat Smith on I^abor Day. Pelky’s chances of landing the mill, however, appear to be very small, as the light weights are the big cards on the coast at the present time The Leach Cross-Matty Baldwin bout, scheduled to take place at Los Angeles on July 29. may be called off McCarey refuses to give Leach more than $3,506 for his end of the purse, while Cross is holding out for $5,000 Danny Goodman managed to outpoint Jeff McConnell in a 10-round battle at Aurora. 111., last night. Goodman's aggressiveness earned him the shade Tommy Walsh, manager of George ‘‘Knockout* Brown, is a busy party these days getting his protege in shape for his engagement with Frank Klaus at Butte.

Coast fans are now touting Kid Wil liams as the bantamweight champion of the world Tom McCarey handed the latter a belt for trimming I*edoux recently.

Keeler N OW that It sppmfi pretty defi nitely settled that Mr. Law rence Chappelle, Milwaukee outfielder, cost the Chicago White Sox $18,000. or words to that effect, the**6 may be some small curiosity as to the workings of a bit of baseball machin ery that can get such an expensive rating in the big show. That is to say. what sort of a new prize beauty is this Chappelle per son. Well, Chappy—as he w'as commonly known in the American Association — sports rather an odd distinctive fea ture. This is the fact that he hasn’t any. He can hit; he can field and throw'; he Is no dub on the bases. But there Is no one handle sticking out of Chappy’s A. A. record that you can lay hold on and say; "Here is a wonder." Chappy’s best point probably is his hitting. That unquestionably was what attracted attention in the Cal lahan camp. Chappy did hit becom ingly—in the A. A., which also de veloped Mr. Gavvy Cravath, of the Phillies. He Is a big fellow—strong In the arms and shoulders, and able to take a free swing on a fast ball or a savage chop at a curve. He crowds the plate and worries the pitcher. In the field he is a good, steady per former He is a good Judge of a liy ball and covers a fair territory. He can throw well, but hasn’t th■* arm of Clarence Walker, of Kansas City. He is no speed demon, like Shelton, of Columbus, either in the field or on the towpath. If Chappy turns out to be a paving investment for Comiskey, It will be because he Is that really valuable thing in baseball—an all-round play er. WILLIE MEEHAN BEAT MANTELL OAKLAND.

The winner of the Cross-Baldwin bout is to be match ed with Joe Rivers at Vernon on La bor Day unless Champion Willie Ritchie will agree to reasonable terms for a bout with the Mexican on that date. Cross started training to-day for his fight with Baldwin. I COFFROTH (FTER RITCHIE FDR GD CONNIE MACK PRESENTS OLD UNIFORMS TO INDIANS PHILADELPHIA, PA,, July " —The baseball fan frequently wonders what becomes of the old uniforms, bats and gloves discarded by big league clubs. Much of their paraphernalia is used until it is so worn or damaged as to be of no further value, but every club manager has on file applications for outfitting* no longer suitable for the major circuits. Just at present the Indian team of St Mary’s Mission School at Omak, Wash., is proudly playing in uniforms formerly worn by the Athletics when they held the title of world’s champions. Manager Connie Mack was appealed to for some discarded suits early this spring, and in answer to the request forwatded not only uniforms, but gloves, bats and balls as well. O’TOOLE BETTER, BUT CAN HARDLY WORK THIS YEAR PITTSBURG, July Marty O'Toole, the Pirate $22,600 pitcher who w’as recently operated upon for appendicitis, has left St. Margaret’s Hospital and is now at his home in Homewood. Indications are that It will be many weeks before he takes his regular turn on the rubber again Baseball men fear he will be of no further use to the team this season. LYNCH FINES TWO CARDINALS. NEW YORK. July 7>.— President Lynch, of the National League, has fined Fielder Gathers and Second Base- man McGee, of the St. Louis club. $25 each, for their fist fight at the Polo Grounds last Thursday. S AN FRANCISCO, CAL., July It.— If James W. Coffroth, premier ring promoter, can induce Cham pion Willie Ritchie to don the gloves on Admission Day. Tommy Murphy, the Eastern lightweight, will be his opponent. James has the latter signed up and is angling with the champ. But Ritchie is coy. He is not averse to taking a chance with any of the ringstery who want to wrest the light weight crown from his head, but he wants to get the most money he e^r> for taking a chance of losing his val uable asset. He has offers of big sums to box in Vancouver, New Orleans and New York. He is willing to consider bids from anywhere, San Francisco in cluded, and he informed Coffroth that some time, about August 4, he would consider all the bids and decide In favor of one of them. When asked if he would decide right away in case he was offered something big in the way of financial inducements. Ritchie said: "No. Nothing doing in the ac ceptance line until August 4, when all bids must be in.” Coffroth is now matchmaker for three clube here, the Shasta, Canal and Sunshine, and is planning bouts for thes*e organizations. Labor Day is another date in Sep tember for w'hich Coffroth is planning something extra in the way of a pugilistic attraction. The match that looks best to him now is a heavy weight one. between Arthur Pelky and Gunboat Smith, the most prominent members of the unlimited class. Pelky will be here Monday with his man ager, Tommy Burns, and Coffrcth will endeavor to get them to sign articles to meet the Gunboat. For his August date, Coffroth has a number of strings out. He plans t© hold the August fight early in the month so that it will not be close to the two September dates, Labor Day being the first of September. Leach Cross and his manager, Sam Wallach, had an interview with Cof froth, and Coffroth made a proposi tion to the New- Yorker to Box Red Watson or Tommy Murphy in August. "Scotty” Montieth, the manager of Johnny Dundee, w r as another visitor, and an offer was made him to bring Dundee up here from Los Angeles and meet Watson In August. Dun dee has declared that he w'ill not fight featherweights any more, and it would be a good try-out in the lightweight class to go against Watson. Coffrotn also offered to match Dundee with Abe Attell if Montieth liked him better as an opponent. CARPENTER BESTS KNIGHT.
