* THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AXD NEWS Maybe Jeff Didn't Hold His Thumb Right By ‘Bud’ fisher Bv W. W. Naughton. I T would require considerable ad vertising to draw attention to a glove contest between white hopes Eckblad ani Chlariglion. would It? But if you announced a bout between Gunboat Smith and Jim Flynn it would be different. A glance at the record book will show that Andrew Ohiarigllon Is Jim Flynn’s rightful name, and according to report.** from New York It has been discovered that Gunboat Smith is a Dane, and that he was christened Ed ward Eckblad. They nay Manager Jim Buckley is mad clear through over the disclosure. Jim has been parading Gunboat as a second crop Irishman, and he con tinues to insist that the blood of the ancient kings of Munster flows through Gunboat's veins. But Dame Rumor is giving Jim the laugh. She says that Smith—or rather Eckblad—was born in Milica, Minn. and that his forbears hailed from Copenhagen. Now that the secret Is out, the av erage fan will hive It that Gunboat looks more like a Dane than an Irish man, but the subject is a dangerous one to brooch in Buckley’s presence. Fie brands the report as a cruel can ard, and asserts that the fellows who had the temerity to attack Smith’s nationality will try to prove that Tommy Murphy is a Polish Jew be fore they are done Murphy, however. i« better equipped with an alibi than Gunboat. Tom my’s photograph would fit into Its sur roundings if published ns a frontis piece to the song. "Where the River Shannon Flows." * • • T F Flynn fs In fairly good shape, he 1 is likely to make things interesting for Gunboat. The Flynn of a couple of years ago was one of the most dangerous of all the heavies over a short distance. He always fought under a full head of steam, and at the same time kept so close to his man that he was hard to reach with full arm swings. It was by piling in nnd forcing his opponent to fight at short range that Flynn defeated A1 Kaufman. Cari Morris and other men much bigger than himself. Gunboat, like Kauf man nnd Morris, ie at his best when permitted to stand away nnd measure his man. It.may be that Smith will catch Flvnn with one of his knock out blows while Flynn boxes in his old-time style. Smith is in for ns merry a quarter of an hour as he has ever had on a fighting platform. The chances are, however, that Flynn is slower than he used to be. His defeat by Luther McCarty at Loe Angeles tamed his stubborn pride and took much of the starch out of him. It whs noticed in the affair referred to that Pueblo Jim did not assimilat*' punishment as In former fights, and the suspicion formed that long ser\ ice had deprived him of his dash. - Ye*, 1 AWy OR- H'lPNQ, Tue HYPNOTIST 1 a ND WILL feLADL-y fciv/c YOU A t* MONVMCA'TWW Of THlJ &y WHICH OMt CAN ^ K*ce another, withim poweR..

Joe Mandot. champion of the South, hasn’t given up hope by a long way of yet at taining the coveted title and, if se rious endeavor and some sparkling mills next winter will get what en deavor and seriousness are said in the story books to get. then Mandot has a grand chance.

He will remain in the city until to-night, and then intends to journey on to New Orleans nnd go to the Mandot ranch, but a short distance from that city, and rest there for a good many weeks. In addition, Joe's father, the big baker of the French Market in New Orleans, Is not in good health, and Joe wants to see him. • • • ALONG in the fall some time Joe *■*■ will be ready to start out on an entirely new campaign, the ultimate aim of which will be to land a crack at the lightweight title.

Listen to w’hat the bright young Frenchman has to say of his impres sions of the champion: "While Wil lie was training for the Rivers fight 1 paid him a visit, and he looked any thing but good to me. lie was ter ribly drawn and thin, and it was then but three days from fighting time. They asked me how he looked to me. and 1 told them he was all right if he didn't have to reduce any more. I certainly didn't like his chances after I saw him and figured that Rivers had a royal chance of whipping him. But it didn’t turn out that way. • • • <■UMU’LDNT I like to have hnd ** the chance that Rivers did! He’ll never get a better one of win ning a title. No, I don’t guess he quit.

There is really not much of a limit to what Kenny could do with saich an amount of money, providing he de sires to remain in baaeball. If he wished to play the game for an ordinary salary, he could be sure of reporting In condition by hiring an entire major league club to go South and train with him, or he could buy any franchise In organized baseball and be club owner, player and man ager at the same time One thing is certain, he can have many run-ins with the umpires and not be broke on pay day. N Special trains for the trips around the circuit would easily be within his means, and he could buy a newspaper and publish his own press notices. At any rate, it’e a pretty good bet that the $4,000.00 ball player will lead Artie Shafer, of the Giants, when It comes to receiving perfumed notes from the fair fans. j By Rube Marquard. S T. LOUIS, July 29.—As I write these lines a feeling of exulta tion is upon me. I feel like shouting for very joy. I know deep down in my heart that the Giants are assured a third straight pen nant. and I am not so well fortified financially that the spoils of a world’s series fail to interest me. I realize that the fight is not yet won. New York has a very advan tageous lead, and should increase rather than lose this fine advantage as the season progresses. Yet there is nothing so uncertain as baseball, and until the title is won beyond pos sibility of refutation. I shall’stand al ways ready to pitch my arm off, fig uratively. for McGraw and our cause. Personally, I am Imbued with a de sire to win as many games as pos sible while the enemy presents some form of rebuttal to our challenge. I think I reflect the sentiments of my teammates when I say that I would welcome even stiffer opposition than our club has encountered within the past six weeks. Victories easily earned are not of a nature to develop the very best form for the classic struggle in Oc tober. And it is to the world’s series, rather than a league championship, that McGraw and my fellows are bending every energy. Some people may try to tell you that there i« no sentiment in profes sional sport. I do not believe that this applies to baseball, at any rate. We all like to do well in our chosen profession But I am certain as can be that the great majority of the Giants think more of the opportunity for a world’s championship pennant than of the money entailed In the struggle for such. Third Try at Title. We just naturally feel that we owe it to McGraw and to our most en thusiastic IKipporters. The past two years we have been disappointments, even to ourselves. And the prospect of a third trial this fall has been one of the chief spurs to our ambition from the start of the season. My club is so determined to annex the greatest honors of baseball this fall that the boys will be scarcely able to hold up their heads for shame if we are disappointed the third straight time. And. believe me. there Is some consolation, in dollars and cents, for the losing end. It might sound like braggadocio were I at this time to make any predictions as to the outcome of the world’s merles. especially as the Giants have not yet cinched their claim to the National Letgue title. Yet I believe I may be pardoned a guess as to the ultimate winner in our set. For six weeks we have set as rapid a pace as any major league club has shown within the past decade. And we have dime this without the ac customed deadly hitting of our gal lant captain. Larry Doyle. It strikes me as only a question of time be fore our sterling second baseman will come out of his slump, and then the team should be possessed of such ad ditional power as to guarantee against any eleventh hour slip-up. Have Score With Athletic*. New York, at least, has as good a chance to figure in the world’s series As have the Athletics, and few at this moment are prepared to deny Connie Mack’s claim to such distinc tion. From a financial aspect there might be more affable opposition, so far as we are concerned. A New York-Chicago or a New York-Cleveland tilt would undoubt edly attract more ga T e money be cause Quaker Town has not only been pretty well glutted with Ath letic triumphs, but is In addition at heart a 25-cent patronage. If the question were merely one of a straight pennant, and I had the selection of an opponent in the world’s series, I 3h6uld choose none other than Mack’s Athletics. All we Giants feel that we have a score to settle for our disappoint ment of the nast two seasons The sporting world conceded last fall that the Red Sox outlucked us. Cir cuit wallops by “Home Run" Baker turned the tide against us in 1911. We are curious to see if the Trappe, Md., slugger can cheat us out of out reward again. I see that Jack Coombs expects to be back in harness about Labor Day. I sincerely hope that he may, though his presence might reasonably be sup posed to work to our disadvantage if we happen to be lucky enough to tilt with Philadelphia in the great classic this fall. Coombs is one of the finest pitchers in the business. If the Giants are to meet the Athletics, every one of us wishes Mack’s men to be possessed of every possible strength. We have never offered an alibi, and if we win we wish to win against the very best that the foe can present.
