V THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. BEEN RECALLED -ja -rASHVTLI.rc. July 22.—Too much • foxy stuff on the part of Presi dent Alibi Hirsig knocked the VoU* deal for Almeida into a cocked hat, and In order to bolster up the works arnund the hot corner Dave Run tin* has been recalled from Akron. Garry Hermann, of the Reds, set a price of $1,800 on the Cliban third Barker's hood, but Hirsig had his ears crowded full of i hatter about Ra phael's pater owning about three- fourths of the Island of Cuba, so that Almeida epent his time In the States nkerwty to study the habits and cus toms utf the natives, and was pretty opt to leave bstseball lint on its back mpft any time. Havln« r only a little Wtiiloago paru-d with $1,600 for Artier Hofmoti. the Vol mogul figured out hs had » fine chance to got stung by sttpping the Reds 1.800 Iron men. so hs wired Herrmann offering him $900 forUmmediato delivery of Almeida and the remaining half provided the Cu ban reported to the Vols next spring Hiivig figured that Garry was foolish. He learned different. The old “111 wfind” stuff came in whon the Interstate League began to wnbMe and Manftgor Hiwgle, of the Aknon club, advised Hirsig that he waj ready to return Bunting to the Verts before the big blow-off came. Dirv*» lias been going in great style far Seigrle and ought to be able to jimp right in and take care of third base, for Bobby Baumgardner is quite a. distant- from being ripe and lacks cf&sp. although he Is a pretty handy man with the aeh. Hirsig has departed for Detroit to hswe a confab with President Navin In regard to having the Tigers farm Catcher Gibson to the Vols again next season. Gibby looks ripe for the big show, but Hirsig hopes that the Jun- gVrltos can spare him next year, and that Is about all that is left for the poorold Vols to do—to build up a club for 1914, since all hope of getting out ©f te ruck Is gone. Several clubs are known to be after Gibby, but Hirsig la hopeful, which Is about the best little thing that he does.

July 23.—Whenever a youngster wins a champion ship. or a champion defenda his title, he invariably lays himself open to attack by all contenders through the columnM of the press, or via Uncle Sam’s route through the postoffices. It is on occasions of this kind that the over-ready letter writer gets his inning. Willie Ritchie is no exception to the rule, and his daily mail contains all mrrts of (lefts and challenges. Evidently Willie must have been somewhat peeved at a let ter Dan Morgan is sending to the sporting editors throughout the land in which the merits of Jack Britton are lavishly exploited In addition Morgan would have us believe that Ritchie fears the issue with his rep resentative. Hence the following epistle from tHe title holder: “Morgan in Wrong.” “Either Dan Morgan, the manager of Jack Britton, has mud in his bel fry or he takes the great American public to be a set of asinine individ uals that can have the wool pulled over their eyes by the manager of a fighter, at hif» own time, pleasure and convenience. He declares that 1 fear the issue with his boy Britton. Well. 1 need but recall the time that Britton and I met in a four-round bout and Jack was hanging on for dear life at the end. I had him all but knocked out. “To show you the respect in which I hold Britton. 1 told Packey McFar land and Emil Thiry in Kansas City when we met there that Britton was a sucker, and that Packev would beat him sure. (At that time Packey was matched with Jack.) The result of the battle will bear me out, and Mc Farland can vouch for the truth of this statement. In addition I toiii Thiry 1 wished I never had anybody harder than Britton to beat. Willing to Meet Britton. “Now. as to Britton. I’ll meet him. I’ll agri*e to sit op him when we do meet. But first 1 am looking after Willie Ritchie. 1 think that boys like Cross have a far better claim to my attention Just now than Jack. At that, if a promoter will offer what 1 think my services are worth in a bout between Britton and myself - well, the match Is on right now. “Morgan finds fault with my fight ing Rivers at 124 pounds Pardon me. while I laugh. Remember when Jack fought McFarland and*weighed 138 pounds? I’ll bet right now Brit ton can’t make 134 ringside, and if he does he’ll be so weak it won’t be a fight—it’ll be a 'burlesque on the art. There’s only one fault to find with manager.* like Morgan: They play the public for suckers and at tempt to put things on sporting edi tors that insult their intelligence. Rost assured of one thing: Britton will have no cause to complain about my willingness to battle him when I see the proper financial inducements in sight.” LARNED AND WRIGHT WIN OVER LITTLE AND PELL BOSTON. July 23.—William A. Larned and Beals C. Wright, former national singles champions, defeated R D. Little and T. R. Pell In the best match of the second round of the annual tournament for the Eastern doubles championship at the courts of the I-ongwood Cricket Club yester day. The scores were 7-5, 6-3, 5-7. 6-1. W. M. Washburn and Gustave F. Touchard, of New York, eliminated Dean Mathey and George Church, the former Princeton team, in four sets. 9-7, 6-3, 2-6. 10-8. THE PLAYERS’ UNION. The score wan knotted in the ninth. i a man on every base, And on the stab the pitcher stood with sorrow on his face. Then up stepped mighty Tyrus Cobb, hi* bludye<m in his hands. And mighty were the cheers that rang throughout the crowded stands. [tut Tyrus never smote the ball upon that fateful day. For all the athletes turned th<*ir backs and calmly walked away. “There's nothing doing," they averred, and left the baseball yard. *‘H’c can not play against that guy— he has no union card." Home base wretch has unearthed the fact that Mr. Chappelle’s first name is Diverne This shows that you can al ways get something on somebody if you dig deep enough. Old Bill Naughton uttered a great truth when he said that fighters gel more than they are worth. A conserva tive estimate is tHiit most of them get 99 per cent too much If those Pirates do not have a care they may be thrown Into the hoose gow for exceeding the speed limit. If the National League schedule were to open on the Fourth of July, the Pi rates would finish approximately 147 parasangs to the good. The sole trouble with the said Pirate* is that they can’t break the old habit of being left at the post. Bobby Wallace did the hero stunt at a fire yonder eve. thereby garnering al most as much glory as if he had made a home run with the bases full Sports and Such RINGSIDE NOTES / love to see Old Joe Dunn as he gayty frisks about, As graceful as a William goat that suffers from the gout. Bat Nelson says he has quit the ring In order to have more time to count his money. This always has'been Mr. Nel son's favorite pastime. The reason Brooklyn is not losing more games is that there Is a rule for bidding it to play more than two games in one day. “The Giants will win In a walk,” quoth Joe Tinker, who, having been walked on by said Giants, knows something of their walking ability. The man who first called it the sport of kings must have had an awful grouch against the monarchial form of govern ment. THE SPORT OF KINGS. Without a dollar to his name the piker left the track, For he had lost his final dime and he must hoof it back. And as he labored down the road a motor ear whizzed by, A great, big scarlet buzz machine that passed him on the fly. And there upon the cushioned scats, a picture of content, He gazed upon the bookie who had copped his last red cent. He ate the dust that filled the air, he smelled the gasoline. And all forlorn he watched the car that faded from the scene. “The sprwt of kings!" he muttered, as he clenched his trembling fist. "If racing is the sport of kings, I am an anarchist!"

HEY were gathered at the ringside at twenty hacks per chair ; The champion pug was walloping his enemy with care. “Hey: Soak Hm!

Now comes the far-flashed mes sage, Lo! The conqueror is in! And slowly is this line ticked out: “Tight-Rim-Stiek Tires win!” * * • CHAMPION RITCHIE IN HIS plan to take a long rest Is not so ill-advised as might at first appear. 'There Is no case on record where a champion ever lost a title while resting. * * * THE SPORT CALDRON IS bubbling mndle.

Mike is after the scalp of Eddie Hanlon and says he will not rest until he drags the latter into the ring with him. “Let Hanlon make 135 pounds at 3 o’clock and I will give him a $50 side bet,’’ wails Mike, “and if he can’t make that weight let him step out of the lightweight division.’’ After dispersing with these few words Mike darted up Peachtree with a large cigar between his teeth. • • • The question of weight is holding up the proposed Jack White-Abe Atiell match on the coast for August 25.

C. EVANS LEADS GOLFERS; ALLIS’ TEE SHOT INTO CUP Jake Abel is to retire from the boxing game. This information comes from Max Abelson, borther of the lightweight battler. Jake has been discouraged from his recent knockout at the hands of Charlie White. However, Abel should remember that many other boys have been handed the same dose by the hard hitting Chicagoan. New Orleans boxing fans are picking Yong Denny to defeat “Wildcat’ Ferns when the pair clash at the Pelican City on Labor Day. Ferns and Denny met on July 4 in a ten-round mill with the former getting a slight shade. The com ing scrap is billed to go twenty rounds. Johnny Lore, the Eastern lightweight, is hot after a return go with Frankie Russell. The latter was given a knock out decision in tw'elve round* over Lore about two weeks ago when Johnny fell out of the ring. The Eastern boy says he will give Russell a neat side bet if he wil consent to meet him again and will i cut the purs© any way suitable to Rus- ‘ sell.
