THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
:
M OBILE, July 23.—Mike Finn will
remain a* 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 has been settled satis
factorily to all concerned,” President
Staples would not go tnto 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 w-ith the entire afTair had
caused him any regret, and that was
the statement that he had “insulted
the Hibernians.” The Gull leader de
nied that he ever offered offense to
the Hibernians of any other organi
zation of any kind in Mobile, and
vtates that he has never made any
remark that could be 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 the 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 rme was more
plea.«ed w'hen definite announcement
was made that he would stay than the
players now working for the Mobile
club under him.

RITCHIE’S TITLE
I OS ANGELES, July 24.—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 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 chamuion, 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 meet any light
weight in the country 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 $5,000 as a side
bet that Duffy will defeat him in
twenty rounds and that he can fix th e
terms for the division of the purpose
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 ln New York and
once in Buffalo.
• • •
<*r\l T MB DAN 4 ’ MORGAN, the
“speechless” wonder from New'
York, has issued a statement offer
ing to match Jack Britton with
Champion Ritchie for a side bet of
$10,000. There is no mention made
in the letter of w'hether it is ten
thousand cigars or toothpicks. He
says this would be a real test for the
champion and that Britton will box
at any weight that suits the “cham
pion.”
Pennant May Hang on Series
By 0. B. Keeler.
N OW Is the time to get out
old friend Crucial Series and
I furbish him up for active duty
the next three days—beginning to
day. Also, it Is up to the Crackers,
like the noble Romans getting an ear
ful of M. Antony’s oratory, that thoso
who have base hits prepare to shed
them now.
In other words, this Is the well-
known Critical Juncture, the Tide in
the Affair* of Men. and (as set forth
in the preamble) the Crucial Series.
There is no particular advantage
to be gained by holding a post mor
tem in advance. It may be stated
briefly that if the Crackers lose three
straight games to the Billikens, the
1913 hunting will be ln grave danger
of wasting its fragrance on the desert
air surrounding Montgomery, Ala.
If the Smithies win three, with the
long home series in prospect, chances
will be bright for fireworks at Ponce
DeLeon.
A split series, with the Town Boys
on the heavy end, will make things
look the same way, only not so much
l*o. And if the Billies get the odd
gahie, our noble lads will have some
Horatlous-at-the-Viaduct work cut
out for them the rest of the way.
Here’s hoping!

CHEERING NOTE.
In the thick of the trip

With a soul-stirring sentiment to it :

rMLBERT PRICE'S little vacs-
V - J tlon didn’t last long. He was or
dered by Manager Billy Smith to
start from Atlanta this morning to
join the club at Montgomery, where
he probably will work in the Satur
day game.
Price said yesterday he couldn’t
figure out w'hy he drew' the suspen
sion that became effective after his
poor start against the Turtles in the
opening contest of the recent series.
“I just got bumped—that’s all.”
said Gilbert. “That will happen to
anybody once in a while; sometimes
oftener." . .
ITH a dozen games, more or less,
dividing the Senators from the
Athletics in the American League
handicap, Walter Johnson, some Big
Smoke, comes to bat with the offer
to pitch half the remaining games
for the Griffmen, beginning Septem
ber 1, with this little stipulation:
"If Griffith thinks at that time we
are close enough to the Athletics
to make a fight for the pennant.”
That's the point, by the way.
Walter goes on to remark that if
Radbourne could do things like pitch
ing every other day. so can he. And
he adds that the slabmen who work
in the meantime should be instructed
to pitch their arms off every time
they start.
It would be interesting to see Wal
ter and the large and scintlllant Mr.
Boehllng taking it turn about on the
slab—-and if the Athletics Plum*-* far
from 'their dozen-game lead, we may
have a chance to see that very
thing.

AND Mordecal Brown just went ln

both ends of a double bill with the

You know.

LINES TO AN EX-CUB.
It may not be the same old Brown
That used to wallop Matty ao:
The passing years have dimmed re
nown
That sparkled in the Long Ago.
But when the Final Pinch is there,
That three-clawed Cub's the same old
Bear!
It's not the Cubs he's fighting for—
The Beds could never look the
same;
Be lacks the grim and bracing roar
That tuned his whip in every game.
But in the pinches—have a care—
That three-clawed Cub's the same old
Bear!
MORRIS TO MEET BENEDICT.
JOPLIN, MO„ July 24.—Negotia
tions have been completed, according
to announcement here to-day, for a
fifteen-round bout between Carl
Morris, of Sapulpa, Okla., and A1
Benedict, of New York, to be fought
In Joplin Friday night.
J ACK PRINCE really geis sore
when he is called “the Rain
maker.”
But being well armed with a
pair of perfectly good legs, we dare
him to come forth for battle, and so
here goety
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.
A"nd 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 s'hould prove cork
ers.
To-day all of the riders intend
tuning up their machines a bit more.
To-morrow night the record for the
28 miles, 386 yards is very likely to
get an aw'ful 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
CHICAGO. July 24.—Just before the
White Sox pulled out for their East
ern invasion a report gained circula
tion to the effect that Ty Cobb. Tiger
star, is to become a member of the
South Side crew.
To get him, all this according to the
report. Owner Comiskey must give up
Pitcher “Red” Russell, Outfielder
Chappelle, for whom Comiskey re
cently paid $18,000, and a catcher.
It has been known for several
months that Cobb has been anxious to
break away from the Tiger band, but
this is the first time that an offer
was made for him.
