V T 1 v xrrn Ai iiAir t A nmmmAn ahu wnvvo, 17,010 BEAUTY By Joe Agler. M ONTGOMERY, ALA., July 28.— We »ne (roln* to try one more time to hook up with these BlJlIkens, and If the rain will only- stay off this afternoon, somebody will have a chance to wallop somebody else twice in the same place. Eor our part, either Clarke or Prite will work in the tirst aame, with Chapman catching, while Conzelman and Dunn will be in the points for the second struggle. Elmer Brown, who didn't look very tough for a $7,000 beauty yesterday, probably will face us in the first game, and Charlie Case in the second. We started well yesterday. I man aged to get on, and then Welchonce hit one a mile and we had two ov^r. Rimer tightened up and that was all In that Inning. They got both rune back In their half, and then came the rain—and curtains. pOUR games at Mobile will wind lip the trip after we get away from this moist town, and then we come home for one series, after which we hit the trail once more, but only for a short journey. OILLY SMITH has signed another left-hand pitcher, Love, of the Selma club. Several big league scouts have been looking him over. They liked him first class, but believed a bit of seasoning in Class A company would help him. Nobody will be re leased, as Smith can keep him and still not hike the salary limit. Allis Battles Wood For Western Title HOMEWOOD COUNTRY CLUB, FLOSS MOOR, ILL, July 28.—Before the aun goes down & new amateur champion of the Weetem Golf Asso ciation will have been crowned. Ed ward P. Aills III, of Milwaukee, and Warren K, Wood, of Homewood, started at 9 o’clock this morning to decide the ownership of the title In a 38-hole contest. Allis, who has practically taken all of the honors of the tournament up to the present by making a hole in one, deposing Champion Charles Evans, Jr., and winning from former National Champion Robert A. Gardner, of Hinsdale, anticipated hie hardest con test to-day. Wood has the advantage of knowing the course, being his home links, and has played a quality of golf this week that he may proudly recall, whether or not he defeats the Mil waukee player to-day. Allis has had to defeat more dif ferent opponents and he accomplished the work like a Trojan. No golfer is better qualified to wear the Western championship crown than Allis. He has twice won the Wisconsin cham pionship. and is a former champion of Harvard. He will still he heard from later If he cares to oontinue the game. Wood is regarded as one of the most proficient match play golfers in the country. He has never won the Western or national championships, but has been well up to the finish in both events. He has several victories, in important open tournaments to his credit, as well as the distinction of having been a former United North and South champion, an honor he won at Pinch tirst, N.

T HE prospective dog-fall In the Crackers-Billies imbroglio was put over until to-day, for the usual reason, i. e., superfluous sky Juice. This circumstance being un der no conditions peculiarly exciting, we are going to let all the emotions back up until this afternoon, when yet another double-header is going to try to get itself played. Wherefore it probably will rain again. One grain of comfort obtrudes it self across th© dismal background ot Alabama sky line, somewhat as the well-know’n dove appeared with the olive branch in a somewhat similar situation. Atlanta can’t lose more than two games in Montgomery this series. \Apl will now pause to inspect a prize package, which our o. f. Charley Jones has just arranged to drop in the parcel post, addressed to C. Ebbetts, Brooklyn. Th© package, Brown inside and well rapped in a rosy reputation, cost Mr Ebbetts exactly $7,000, unless some one has blundered. Mr. Jones has been standing on a table draped in red baize, like a fire sale for. lo. these last several weeks, making noises like an auctioneer and waving the i^tal Hammer over the block of his pet pitcher. It did look fatal at one juncture, when it was reported the principal contest for Mr. Brown was between the Yankees and the Boston Braves, so-called because they persist in staying in the league. But Mr. Brown is to be congratulat ed. He will start off with a regular ball club next spring—fairly regular, that is. A LSO, Mr. Jones is in for the pump- ** handling, too, and Johnny Dobbs, who has earned it. if anybody has this year. It seems that the Montgomery club also has sold Outfielder Walker and 1‘itcher Manning to the St. Louis Browns, getting $4,000 for Walker and $2,500 for Manning. That brings the total sales up to $13,500. And that probably will keep the Montgomery franchise in that town another year, at least, and keep the club’s head above water for the present session. But we can’t congratulate Messrs. Walker and Manning. Not conscien tiously. S TRICTLY as an after-idea, can’t Mr. Eobetts arrange to collect Mr. Brown and carry him off to Brooklyn before the first game starts this afternoon 0 We understand the delivery is to be made at the end of the season. But that would be ail right with us. • * • A ND. by the way. isn’t this Joe Boehling person, who has won eleven games in die American League this year and hafm’t lost any. the very same guy whom Billy Smith shipped back to the Senators last year ns unripe for Class A baseball? Still, Mr. Smith should worry. There was Ah Powell, who had at least two shots at a geek named Rucker—Napoleon B. Rucker. And when the just celebrated N. B. took his mighty fork-hand up to the Big Show, his baggage was not checked from Atlanta. EMPIRE LEAGUE NOTES Almost as fast as some teams in the Empire change players the league's stafT of umpires changes. McAfee and Mor ton are the bust ones to leave the staff. Their places have been filled by Mc Laughlin, formerly with the Cotton States, and Rehbein, who was threaten ed by a crowd of fans after a game in Waycross last week. It appears that Condele possesses in its pitching staff more than one won der. Wilder is leading the league in point of games won, and Fillingen, a spitball artist, is climbing fast and pull ing off stunts that are startling, to say the least of them. The Brunswick team has gotten so re cently that it loses an average of one game a week by a big score, then settles down and plays some of the prettiest games ever witnessed in the league. * • * Two of the castoffs of the Brunswick team were signed by Waycross. and like some of the Waycross castoffs, made good with a rush. Jones is playing first, Hollldav, the Atlanta boy. having been benched for the present, and Clancey is at short doing well * * • Jack Hawkins, well known In baseball circles in Atlanta, and a member of the Brunswick team In the Empire a part of the season, may don a Waycross uniform early next month. Two triple plays during iLs first sea- irds il -“ " 1 — i WO iripic inajn **•» 7, , son is one of the records the Empire will hang up when the schedule closes In August. The first was made early In May while Waycross and Brunswick were plavlng in Brunswick, the Way- cross pi avers checking a rally by Bruns wick by the triple. In a game at Cor- dele the Valdosta team pulled off one that’ was started when Schwartz snag ged a liner over short. Manager Dudley, of the Thomasville team, is hack in rhe game after haring been kept out for some time by an in jury His absence was felt by the team, but. according to the league standing', his plavers did their best to hold their own during his enforced absence. “Doc” Fenton, playing center for Waycross, is regarded by all critics in the league as one of the most sensa tional fielders In the circuit. He has as many as eight put-outs to his credit for a single game, and an average of half of them would ordinarily count as hits. Lloyd is the name of the latest addi tion to the Waycross team. He is an infielder, and calls Louisiana home. Alperman, a brother of the Atlanta second baseman, has gone to his home in Pittsburg from Waycross. He has been in bad condition most of the sea son, and became so discouraged that he decided to quit for the balance of the season He played in the field, and was a steady player. Indications now point to Valdosta and Cordele battling It out in September for th© pennant. Medlock, a native Georgian, and one of the cleverest outfielders of the league. Is now playing with Valdosta. He Is hitting well, and his fielding up to date has been, sensational. Medlock was with Waycross for some time. The talked about deal whereby Pitcher Vanderlip would join the Valdosta team did not materialize Vanderlip has re turned to his home in Brooklyn Directors of the league will hold a meeting shortly to plan for the post season series to determine the pennant winner in the league. Valdosta won the first half of the season easily, and the second half race is as yet unsettled There's an old saying that you never can tell what a ball player will do. Dacey, playing oenterfield fof* Amerieus, Jumped into the box not long ago and has won so far four straight games for his team And Bitting, who joined the Charleston South Atlantic league team when he was turned loose by Waycross, caught two pretty games this week. Third base is his regular position. The league record for consecutive wins will probably go to Gordon, a member of the Valdosta team This fellow has won some of the prettiest games played In the league, and Is going to make some higher league a marvel. Sports and Such By Ed W. Smith. C HICAGO, ILL., July 26.—Like Butte and some of the other mountain cities, Denver threat ens to take a prominent place in the boxing world. They are arranging a match there now for the early part of August between Leach Cross of New York, and Harry Trendall, the St. Louis star, who long has been waiting a good chance to break in among the favored ones of the 133- pound division. Denver promoters are displaying a commendable bit of ginger and pep in their work so far, and are bound to get the results if they keep on going the way they have planned. 'Reddy” Gallagher and Eddie Pitts appear to be the prominent ones in the Mountain City just now. C OLORADO'S Governor failed to p*ign a boxing bill that had been passed, and gave the very excellent reason that there already was a Stdte law that permitted bouts upon the payment by p regularly organized athletic club of a certain license sum. The State’s executive could not see why a new law' was needed, and said so. Hence the athletic clubs of Den ver are working along under the old statute. They have a dandy pavilion there, and the game seems to be in the best of hands, ho that the box ers have a pretty good stopping place there. Many of them are fearful of the effects of the mile-high air. but many others have by actual test ex ploded this bugaboo. C ROSS and Trendall. they say. would draw' the utmost capacity there, and should put up one of the best battles imaginable, as the St. Louis lad has been going at a ter rific clip lately. None of them has any terrors for him right now', and even the much-diweussed Cross punch isn’t causing the Missouri man any wakeful nights. C HARLEY SCULLY, a Chicago boxer, is in Denver now', and the other night put up a smashing battle of ten rounds with Red Butler, of Kansas City, that saved Eddie Pitts’ show. It was billed as one of the minor events, hut such a corking display of earnest work did the boys give that the fans voted it easily the feature of the night. It was called a draw. On the same show, F*rank Whitney, the Cedar Rapids carpenter, and Phil Knight met in the main event, and Frank, who has met with a In* of misfortune lately, earn ed a clean-cut decision over Phil, who forgot to foul his man this time. Ahey Pollock, the old-time Chicago referee, ip acting in the battles out there, and as usual he is throwing a world of earnestness* and care into his work. 1LT ATTY M’CITE. Racine’s sensa- tional featherweight, is pluming himself for new conquests. Matty was rushed through a tremendous campaign late in the winter and spring, and wound up with disaster. They didn’t lick Matty, hut they put a terrible ear on him, and in addi tion he suffered a sprained wrist. He had these injuries when he tackled Patsy Brannigan, of Pittsburg, in Milwaukee, and while that doesn't detract at all from the game bat tle Patsy put up. it gives Matty a reasonable excuse to seek another match with the little Mick. WHITE TO MEET DUNDEE. LOS ANGELES. July 26 —Johnny Dundee, the New York featherweight, who has entered the lightweight di vision. and Jack White, of Chicago, were matched to-day to fight tw r enty rounds at catch weights at Vernon arena the night of August 12. LANGFORD RETURNS. 7 HE shades of night tcere own ing fruit, But, at that, the shades were passed By a Hope who, in his rush. Yelled as he lammed for the brush: “8am is hack!* 9 His eyes were wild, hi# cheeks were pale, Hr beat it like a frightened quail; Whenever he could spare some wind He feebly gasped to those behind: "Sam is back!'* The Fight Commission begged him stay: "We will protect you, anyway! We need the coin—w/ll stick by you**— The Hope was headed for the blue— "Sam is back!** "Aw, stick!** his manager half sobbed. "You ain't a-gonna see me robbedt “l*ve picked a soft guy for you here*'— He spHntrd for the steamship pier. "Sam is back!** That night he lamped a cheering sight— The sinking Fire Island Light; And, as the ship plowed through the seas He breathed from out his free heart's ease; “Me to Europe!** COMISKEY PAYS MORE for one. ball player that Connie Mack’s whole infield cost him, which is doubtless the reason that the White Sox are so far ahead of the Athletics. IN SPITE OF THE FACT that Tom McCarey down in Los Angeles has handed Kid Williams an ex pensive championship belt, there are a lot of narrow-minded people who still persist in regarding John ny Coulon as the bantam champion, merely because Williams has not defeated him. THREE OF THE CLEVELAND pitchers have mastered Matty’s fadeaway, it is announced. Now nothing remains to be mastered save his brains, judgment, control and delivery. MILLER HUGGINS WAS quite severely injured by a blow on the head with a pitched ball, which In dicates that his bean is constructed of different material from that used in the rearing of the domes of some of his hired men, notably the hero who pulled the daring steal of sec ond when the bases were filled. FAMOUS ALIBIS MANAGER JIMMY CALLAHAN —I didn’t know he had bunions. New York Yacht Club—The deed of gift of the America’s Cup. John Cavanagh—There is no bet ting at Belmont Park because no one buys pencils from me. ACCORDING TO LATER ad vices from the Coast, Joe Rivers quit in his bout with Ritchie be cause the champion hit him in the jaw so hard that it was some min utes before he realized that he had ceased fighting. STRATEGY. (By Connie Mack.) Inside baseball is doubtless great. Swell pitching oft the best team sea t iers. But all / need to challenge Fate Are just my nine .300 batters! PHILADELPHIA HAS FELT the quickening pulse of the twen tieth century. They mobbed the umpire down there the other day. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Garnet Saturday. Atlanta at Montgomery Chattanooga at Mobile. Nashville at New Orleans. Birmingham at Memphis. T .-IE planking in the great bowl of the motordrome was not quite dry last night, so Jock McNeil failed in his furious efforts to set it afire with the revolutions of his great racing motorcycle, J. A P. But Mr. McNeil did pretty w'cll at that. He won the Marathon race from ten riders, negotiated the 105 laps without a stumble, and traveled at an average speed of 82 miles an hour. But that figure was nowhere near the limit. Swinging on the turns to circle his field, Jack caressed the high places at a speed that could not have been much under 100 miles an hour. Again and again bis terrific speed brought the big crowd up standing. About 5,000 were at the races, and they went away still gasping. In spite of McNeil's wonderful rid ing. he had not much to spare at the finish. His closest rival, . Georg© Lockner, had been lapped only once, and Lockner had barely lapped Hen ry Lewis and Harry Glenn. Two oth ers of the ten finished the grind— Billy Shields and Freddie Luther— but they were not in the running. Renei’s engine blew up about the half-way mark and Morty Graves’ machine Jammed a few moments later. Harry Schwartz came to grief before he had gone two miles, his engine literally coming to pieces. While Richards did not finish the race, his riding was a feature of the first 17 miles, at the end of which one of his tires exploded, one of the miracles of the game saving him from even an upset. He and McNeil had a great speed duel the firm half of the distance, aad at the end of the fifth mile the pair had lapped all their competitors. After Richards’ mishap McNeil rode more carefully, just maintaining his lead. The rest of th'- card also was good. McNeil and Richards had it out in the motordrome sweepstakes, Rich ards Just shoving a wheel in front of his flying rival in the finale. The. time, 1:24 1-5, was remarkably fast, an average of 88.1 miles an hour. In his mile against time Richards made the distance in 40 4-5 seconds, two- fifths of a second elower than the record. In the special match race, 2 miles, Harry Glenn, the local professional, defeated Harry Swartz in straight heats. QUALIFY FOR C. PAYNE TROPHY AT EAST LAKE A field of golfers, numbering be tween 75 and 80, are expected to par ticipate in the qualifying round for the J. Carroll Payne trophy at Bast Lake to-day. The players will qualify according to their net scores, and match play will be handicap As many flights fill will be played.
