THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NETTS. CHICK [VANS i STILL CLINES TO BLD PUTTERS By Chick Evans. I T IS paid that the chief obstacle to Jerome Travers* playing In the British championship has been his uae of the center-ehafted putter, and that he Is seriously considering the adoption of a standard club. This re mark raises a difficulty that we have all been Obliged to consider. For years I have been known as one of the poor est of putters, and nobody has realized the fact more strongly than I. Time after time I have seen opportunity slip away from me on the putting green, that fatal spot where the game 1s truly won or lost with few excep tion, one of these very recent, 1 have been beaten in Important matches by the man with the Schenectady putter, and in many of these cases I had beaten my opponent up to the put ting green. Two years ago 1 came to the con clusion that the center-shafted put ter is vastly easier than the accepted club. Naturally since that time I have been sorely tempted to try anything that promised to make me a better putter, but I have stoutly refrained from the use of the can ter-shafted putter, however, because I feel that the British standard of golf at pres ent is the highest in the world, and If we hope to improve our game we can not afford to disregard the admoni tions of St. Andrew's. We are all anxious to measure our rkill against our British brethren, for only in that way can we know* how far we have traveled, and this meas urement of skill cannot mean any thing unless there is a certain con formity In clubs and rules Golf was an ancient game before the advent of the center-shafted putter, yet its simplicity of construction makes it probable that it was known and con sidered before its American adoption. Tn« Koyal and Ancient Golf Asso ciation. however, will have none of it. and until St. Andrew’s accepts it, no golfer who has the faintest ambition to compete on British courses cares to depend upon the use of the Schenectady. I have no personal feeling about the c* nter-shafted putter other than this: At the present 1 accept St. Andrew’s d'flnition of a golf club, and there fore can not afford to spend the time practicing with a club not recognized in British tourntys We have Kill much to learn from Great BrltAin.

Major Frank E. Callaway, president of the Atlanta Baseball Association, got a letter this morning from Pree ident W. M. Kavanaugh, in which he announced his ruling, that the game should be played off in the coming series. The dispute ariwe over a game that the Nashville management requested might be moved from Monday to Sunday, just after Sunday ball begun In that town. The Crackers agreed and the game was played. Then Nashville insisted on laying off Mon day, while the Crackers apepared and claimed the game by forfeit. The clubs played Tuesday and the Crackers de parted Wednesday, the Vols claiming a forfeit that day. CALLAWAY TO CHATTANOOGA TO SEE JERSEY CITY MAN Major Frank K. Callaway, presi dent of the Atlanta Baseball Associa tion. is going to Chattanooga to-night to meet the president yf the Jersey City Club. "I really don’t know what he '.s after,” Major Callaway said this morning. “He wired that he woul l like very much to see me if 1 could meet him at Chattanooga.” Major Callaway did not suggest anything that might have attracted the Jeraey City magnate’s attention. But two things sort of suggest them selves—Joe Agler and Slim Love. Ag- lor was much desired by Jersey City when tho Cubs sold him to Atlanta. And the reports of Love's debut un doubtedly have got about the country by this time. It is quite posaible the Jersey City president may want to ar range a little deal in ball players. WOULD TRADE ENTIRE CARDINAL BALL CLUB ST. LOT'IS. Aug. 4.—President Schuy ler P Britton, of the Cardinals, is on the warpath and ir ai > endeavor to strengthen that club to-day declared he, Tvould trade every member of the club, except Manager Miller Huggins. That means that Ed Konev. Harry Sallee, Boh Harmon, even Substitute Charley O’Leary and recruits, will he pwaped if there 1s a chance to strength en the club Whether any trade will be made is not known, but President Britton announced that negotiations have been opened with the Giants. Reds and other clubs. The tumble into eighth place for the first time in years is too much for President Britton and Mana ger Huggins. White and WhitneyFear No One -s.»+ •!■•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ Neither Boy Has Been Stopped Bv Left Hook. t t TiKN Charlie While, the Chi- \\J cago sensation, steps into the ring with Frankie Whit ney on August 13, local fans will have tht opportunity of seeing two boys in action who have never been stopped. This record is all the more marvelous when It Is taken Into con sideration that both have been fight ing the beat scrappers in the game and have never dodged a tough one. Charlie White started his active ring career January 8. 1908. On that date the Chicago whirlwind met and knocked out Frank Decker in two rounds at Chicago. White was only 17 years old then, as he has been fighting five years. In 1008 White took part In eleven ring battles, win ning seven over the knockout route and three by decision. Among those who suffered defeat at his hands were Danny Goodman. Billy O’Keefe, Kid Duffy and Benny Troubles. • • • r HE Chicago boy was sent up against tougher game in 1909. and despite his youth he came out with flying colors. It was in this year that Charlie was sent against the first of four champions. Abe At- tell was White's opponent December 6. and Charlie lost the decision in eight rounds at Memphis. This was the only defeat suffered by the Chi cago boy in his second year of ring activity. Among those Charlie dis posed of were Frankie Conley. Mor ris Bloom. Paul Sieora, Earl Denning and Young Dougherty In all. W'hite won ten buttles and lost one. • • • T HE year 1910 found White under * the management of Nate Lewis, the Chicago manager. Nate pushed Charlie to the front at once by send ing him against the toughest boxers in the world Although Charlie was defeated three times in this year, he also gained his first real prominence in the boxing world. White met Joe Mandot twice, losing and winning In eight rounds; fought Ad Wolgast a (six-round draw. defeated Bobby Waugh twice; shaded Abe Attell and 2:30 t° GRAN[) 8:30 to 10 REAL MOVIES ALL FIRST RUN SPECIALS AND SEATS EXCLUSIVE FEATURES 10 cts won two decisions over Tommy Dixon. Charlie also lost a twenty- round decision to Danny Webster on the Coast. Lewis kept getting still tougher opponents for White in 1911, and, Charlie, helped by added experience, went through the entire year without a defeat. He got revenge on Joe Mandot by beating the French baker boy in an eight-round go, fought a draw with Johnny Kilbane in twelve rounds, won two decisions over Bobby Waugh, who outweighed him by eight pounds, and triumphed over Boyo Driscoll in an eight-round go at Memphis. White put the latter out of business by breaking two of his ribs. • * « In 1912 White secured matches with the best boys In the world. After winning over Battling Schultz. Tommy Dixon. Steve Ketohel and Kid Julian. White was offered a match with Johnny Dundee, who up to that time had 85 victories without a defeat to his credit. The bout took place at New York April 30. Johnny at that time had a match pending at Madison Square Garden with Johnny Kilbane, providing he defeat ed White. Dundee never got that match and also suffered the first knockdown of his career, besides losing a few teeth. Charlie gave Dundee the beat ing of his life for ten rounds, nearly stopping him in the last session. As a reward the McMahon brothers gave White a match with Owen Moran, which Charlie won In nin© rounds. He was next sent against Young Shu* grue, Pal Moore and Oscar Williams. White won all these matches. • * • This year Charlie is after a knock out record Bo far he has had seven tights and has won six over th© K. O. route. Joe Thomas, twice, George Meyers and Jake Abel w'ere some of those put away. His only defeat was at the hands of Jack Britton. The bout was stopped in the eighteenth round when the sheriff said the bout was becoming a prize fight. Despite tlie fact that Britton outweighed Charlie by ten pounds, he never even floored the Chicago boy once during the entire bout. RINGSIDE NEWS FORSYTH ™ 0 D r.

WIS Aug 4 —Fol lowing a conference of the directors of the “W-I.” League here this afternoon President Weeks gave out the following statement: "We have the assurance of President J. A. Croon, of the Rockford club, that In the future umpires will be protected on the Rockford groundo and that there will be no repetition or poaibility of a repetition of the riot of Wednesday. As far as the Oshkosh-Rockford series halted by my orders, those games will simply be stricken off All talk of giv ing Rockford any satisfaction on ac count of thslr loa* is simply bosh Rock ford is getting off pretty well as it is.” Empire MCGloon. the first witness, testified to the extent of the rowdyness on the Rockford field.

Ang. 4.—“I never saw a smoother piece of ma chinery in my life than Walter Johnson in the box,’’ says George Da vis, the old-time star inftelder of the Chicago and New York clubs. “I’ve seen lot of ball players in my time, and I was in there a good many years myself. I’ve -«een some of the greatest pitchers of the last twenty years, but I’ve never seen a better working pitcher than Johnson. He is grace itself out there. Never is there a false motion. He delivers the ball with §11 his great speed without jerking himself, or straining himself in any way. I would give a million dollars If I could find his equal some where and send him to Griff. * * • “AS a matter of fact. Griff has a ** good ball club. I stayed three days in Washington and saw those games with the Athletics. Well, the Grlffmen didn’t win them all. but they showed that they knew how to play ball, all right, and it’s only a matter of time when Clark will have his team up there fighting for the pennant. • * • “THAT boy Foster at third base. 1 even now after his illness, is one of the best little third basemen I’ve ever seen. In some ways he re minds me strongly of Norman Elber- feld. When Elberfeld was in his prime, he was one of the greatest In the business, and many of his move ments are now being shown by Fos ter. particularly in tagging the run ner at third. At this trick. Kid Elber feld was a past master, but Foster is just as good. “Morgan is another good-looking youngster at second base. I played that bag myself a number of years, too, you know, and the way he trav els to the bag for throws or ground balls is beautiful. Morgan ought to be one of the best second basemen in the game before he slows up. He seems to know something about play ing ball. * * • GT TELL you." says Davis, “finding 1 ball players is no ea*y thing. The scout to-day who grabs every minor leaguer he pees is foolish. I’ve been looking at bushers a long while, and never before have they looked so bad. A good scout nowadays Is one who turns down 90 per cent of the tipped players. Mike Kahoe is a suc cessful scout Just for that reason. He doesn’t dig up many players in a year but he wives his club many thousands of dollars every season by falling to recommend a whole lot of dubf who never would make stars in the big show. The Giants and the Yankees are losing a lot of money every year through grabbing at bush ers who never make good. Of course, you don’t hear much about the fail ures Folks always point to Marquard and Tcsreau. but you never hear of j the lemons. The Yankees paid $7,000 i for Paddy Green last year, and he was the worst lemon in years." ZBYSZKO CLAIMS IT AGAIN. DULUTH. Aug. 4.—Herman, mana ger of Stanlslous Zbyszko declared hero to-day that he would formally claim the world’s heavyweight wrest ling title for the’Pole by September, in the event that Frank Gotch con tinued to refuse to meet Zbyszko in a finish contest. "We will wrestle winner to take all. and will willingly submit to any conditions that the Iowa farmer will name,” said Her man. FAMOUS IN SPORT—n. The Alibi. THE ALIBI IS WHAT THE law *■ sharps call a right without a benefit. It is also a test of in genuity and promotes the gayety of nations. For all of these rea sons it should be encouraged. The origin of the Alibi has been mislaid in the dusty file-room cf the past. Even Sam Crane does not recall the first one. From time immemorial the Alibi has been the loser’s end of a contest for sport ing honor, and so far as history records, Goliath w r as the only loser who didn’t have one. This was undoubtedly due only to the fact that David copped so hard with the first slam that he was never able to talk again, for it is a cinch that somebody had put something in his tea. At the risk of appearing brutal, we are sometimes guilty of wishing that this good old wallop of David’s had been handed down to posterity in all its pristine vigor. In the use of the Alibi, the Eng lish excel all others in brilliancy and the Americans in gall. It was an Englishman w r ho alibied the de feat of the polo challengers on the ground that the Americans played polo better than the game was in tended to be played. But it was- an American who claimed that the whole English royal family and the Hous*e of Lords were out to trim the Yankees in the Olympic games. We could quote other local ex amples, but it is bad form to exult unduly in the prowess of the home talent. No ordinary sportsman ever en ters competition without a well- tried alibi about him. Veterans fre quently, through long practice, are able to trust extemporaneous work and thus produce remarkable speci mens. Always remember that if wou must be a bad lo*-*er, you might as well win credit as a bright liar. (Get the next article of the heart rending series without fail. It’s a curly wolf: “The Breed of Horses.”) * ♦ * “I TRIED TO AID CHANCE,” declared Mr. Callahan in the matter of the Zeider-Chase deal; which re calls the helpful willingness of the boy who wanted a hatchet to kill the fly on baby's head. * * * ARMAGEDDON. Hark from the tomht, a feeble peep— The dead prepare for war! The wild newe flathre o’er the a<ep : “/?. Wells meets Gunner Muir." * * * THE ENGLISH SPORTSMEN must be fairly desperate when they are planning to send some women golfers over in the hope that they may be able to bring home some valuable silverware. * * * AS WE GO TO PRESS THE race for the American Cup seems to be on for next year; but it is fatuous to suppose that the New York Yacht Club has exhausted the side-stepping possibilities in the deed of gift. * * * THERE IS ONLY ONE MINOR change in the football placing rules, and this does not affect the regu lation governing the' right to step on an opponent’s mush, one foot at a time.
