12 REMAIN ATHELIlfl M OBILE, July 23.—Mike Finn will remain as manager of the Mo bile Baseball Club. Such was the announcement of President Alfred Staples following a meeting of the directors of the Mo bile club. "The trouble has been ad justed satisfactorily to everybody con cerned.” he said, "and Mr. Finn re mains as manager of the club.” Further than the announcement that "matters ha*-' been settled satis factorily to all concerned," President Staples would not go into the case, but from a reliable source, it is un derstood that Mike Desmond, employ ed at the ball park in the capacity of special officer, had tendered his resignation. It Is understood that he, took his action, following Manager Finn’s statement that he would re- Mgn, rather than cause the club offi cials any embarrassment. Manager Finn would not discuss the outcome of the case when seen, but stated, that only one thing in con nection with the entire affair had caused him any regret, and that was the statement that he had "insulted the Hibernians." The Gull loader de nied that he ever offered offense to the Hibernians of any other organi zation of any ki/id in Mobile, and Kates that he has never made any remark that could bo construed as an insult to any organization. "Mike, you’re too good an Irish man. yourself, to talk about the Hi bernians; are you not?” he was asked. "Sure." he responded, "and to tell the truth, I've made up my mind to Join the Hibernians." The announcement that Mike Finn will remain at ftie head of the club means that the players will hustle as they have In the past to keep the club In the running, and no one was more pleasvd when definite announcement was made that he would stay than the players now working for the Mobile club under him.

July 21. And still they come! With enough boxers here to stage a carni val of fistic revels lasting until Christmas and managers and pro moters clamoring over each t others shoulders for a chance at a date and a trunk full of coin it appears that the end is not yet. Joe Woodman is clamoring for dates for his two proteges. Sam Langford and Jack Head, the Aus tralian lightweight champion, and bids fair to make a landing. Ad Wolgast also wants to be re membered. He is right on the ground to press his claim with Champion Willie Ritchie for an early match. He figures that since Rivers lost out in his match on July 4 he is in direct line for another match in preference to the Mexican, and probably his bout at the Vernon arena would be a good card. • * * A NOTHER challenger of Ritchie is Jimmy Duffy, whose record during the past year certainly gives him some right to consideration. His manager, Bert Finch, writes that Duffy is willing to mee*. any light weight in the lountry, with an ex pressed preference for Ritchie. Fred die Welch. Leach Cross or Joe Rivers. Finch says that if Ritchie will con cede Duffy a match for the cham pionship he will post $f>,000 as a side hot that Duffy will defeat him in twenty rounds and that he can fix th e terms for the division of the purse to suit himself. In May of last year Duffy fought a ten-round bout to a draw with Fred die Welch and has defeated Leach Cross twice, once in New York and once in Buffalo. * * * “HUMB DAN” MORGAN, the * ' "speechless” wonder from New York, has issued a statement offer ing to match Jack Britton w'ith Champion Ritchie for a side bet of 10.000. There is no mention .made in the letter of whether it is 10,000 ligars or 10.000 toothptrks. He says this would be a real test for the ohampiq/i and that Britton will box 1 at any weight that suits the "cham- * pion." Gunboat Smith Is His Opponent Bv Ed W. Smith. I T takes a good bit of managerial skill to boost Jim Flynn, of Pu eblo, up from the depths into which he had been forced through successive defeats Into a real match for a real belt which is to be emblem atic of the heavyweight cham pionship of the boxing world. That skill has been shown by one J. Curley, Flynn’s manager, and the Pueblo man is to get his second chance to win a title—or is it the fourth or fifth?—In a bout in New York earlv next month • when he faces Gunboat Smith, of Philadelphia and San Francisco. And the winner will be given a belt to replace the one that went out of com mission when Luther McCarty died in Alberta the latter part of May. • * • 17LYNN’S peculiar position in the * boxing world is brought to mind now and then by a dispatch from Missouri telling of the progress the boxer i« making in his automobile trip from Pueblo to New York. Tim other day the wires bore the news that Jim had been pinched in a small town for speeding, after having had his machine repaired. Flvnn ever has been a thorn in the side of the as pirants for the white title, but un fortunately for the hardy fellow from the mountains he always has just failed of getting there. Jim is a trifie too small. In the general opinion of the critics, or rather he is too short to cope successfully with the tall men of the heavyweight division. • • • J F many of the fight fans do not 1 like Jim for his brash ways and the overabundance of ego that he dis plays constantly, they nevertheless must admire the man for his sterling fighting qualities. Gameness is Jim’s middle name, and he hap proved in the last four or five years to be the grandest little trial horse the ring ever has known. As a matter of fact, a man never would be thoroughly tried in the ring until he had met Jim in a real encounter. If he could get by the Pueblo ringster. his fu ture would be pretty well assured. • * * AS 1 matter of cold fact, it was never demonstrated that the hue Luther McCarty was a real fighter until he had sent Jim into a crushing defeat. Then we all knew that Lu ther was the real thing, a demonstra- | tion that the poor fellow strengthen ed a short time later by whaling the stuffin’ out of A1 Palzer. one of the behemoths of the ring. Flynn got his chance at McCarty out on the coast after he had demonstrated that he couldn’t do much with Jack Johnson, and figured that if lie had whipped Luther he would have had little trou ble with Palzer. who was sent in against the winner. But McCarty proved far too big and strong and lengthy in the reach for the squatty Flynn. • * • IN Gunboat Smith. Flynn will meet * a man much more to hi§ own measurements, though the Gunboat is a long, ran^v chap. But he hasn’t the weight that most of Flynn’s op ponents* have possessed, and for that reason Klvnn believes he has a royal chance of being returned the win ner. The heavyweight class is a mysteriously weak division just now. and almost anybody has a chance of dragging down the honors. * * * UT in Los Angeles, w here Flynn has done some of his best fight ing. they like him. As a matter of fact, they like the rough, tough fel low pretty much out there without losing sight of and giving free credit for his cleverness and skill. Both Rattling Nelson and Ad Wolgast. former lightweight champions, were great favorites there. So were Georg* Memsic. Rudy Unholz, Frankie Con ley, Charley Dalton. Bud Anderson and other strong boys of the ring. They like the puncher out in Tom McCarey’s town, and haven’t a great deal of uae for the fancy boxer. DELHI BACK IN MAJORS; PIRATES BUY TWIRLER WITH J. PUCE J ACK PRINCE really gets sore when he is called "the Rain maker.” But being well armed with u pair of perfectly good legs we dare him to come forth for battle, and so here goes*: Jack Prince, you are a regular rainmaker! For the second time in as many days the races carded for the Motor- drome have been called off on ac count of rain. And to make sure that they will have plenty of time to get Jack out of town, the other back ers in the saucer have decided that the next set of races will not be held until Friday night. They want all of to-day to get Jack out of the city. And they guarantee that Prince will not be within fifty miles of here by sunrise to-morrow. And with that promise, the local bugs may be assured that the big Marathon grind will come off to morrow night. Also a number of other events that should prove cork ers. To-day all of the riders intend tuning up their machines a bit more. To-morrow night the record for the 26 miles, 38fr yards is very likely to get an awful kick in the slats. ATTELL COMES TO LIFE. NEW YORK. July 24.—Abe Attell will be seen in action again to-night at Rockaway. where he will clash with Willie Beecher, the New York lightweight, for a ten-round bout. Report That Cobb Is Slated for Chicago I CHICAGO, July 24.—Just before the White Sox pulled out for their East- j ern invasion a report gained circula tion to the effect that Ty Cobb, Tiger star, is to become a member of the !
