(Star Catcher of the Champion New York Giants and one of the leading •luggers of the National League.) A L DEMAREE is, to my mind, on© of the most picturesque characters in baseball. He is but a colt, yet he is one of the chief resources of the Giants. His career has been meteoric—as professional baseball dnreers go—yet it is one that is not liable to flivver and sputter out before many, many years of use ful ness. Demaree is to-day Just about the best young pitcher in the business. That is putting it pretty strongly, 1 will admit. One must not overlook such class as that boasted by Joe Hoehling, the sensational southpaw of Washington. Boehling is doubtless a grand pitcher. He has shown it by .netting a record of eleven straight vic tories for the season before be met defeat. Naturally, I am not familiar with his work—he is in a different league. But I would go broke that he pos sesses no more stuff than Demaree, nor knows how to use to better ad vantage his natural endowments. Demaree Forces Recognition. Griffith, hounded by misfortune, wae forced to take a chance on the recruit. It is to the credit of Joe that he won his spurs. But Demaree forced recognition through pure class alone. He so im pressed McGraw that our very able manager from almost the very start of the season assigned the youngster to the same consideration as a regu lar tosser. That fact In itself is the highest praise. It 1s not McGraw's wont to accept a gTeen man as a regular. His time-honored custom—and it has pro duced wonderful results—has been to cultivate talent through observation of “Inside” baseball from the bench. Outside of Demaree there are practi cally no exceptions to this rule. Demaree needed no further school ing when he came to our club. He is one of those very, very rare young men possessed with the head of an old man. He seems to have shed his youth in his boyhood days. He is a very close student of the game: he never forgets to profit by experienoa Knows Batters’ Failings. No man in our club—with the ex ception of the grand old master, Mat ty—is better versed in the strength and weakness of opposing batsmen. Much of his knowledge A1 has gleaned from personal observation. A great store he has laid in from conversa tion with his teammates. Demaree is the closest approach to Mathewson I have ever seen. In many respects he resembles the “Old Master." Like “Big Six," he is poa- eessed of a beautiful delivery—one from which the ball comes right on top of the batsman before he Bees it. For a-youngster of his limited ex perience, Demaree possesses a change of pace that truly phenomenal. But one of his greatest attributes is con- trol. This very important adjunct of the pitching art is usually acquired only after long years of experience. Dem aree possesses it at the very begin ning. Were he equipped physically as nobly as was Mathewson when “Big Six” broke into the big show. I should predict for Al every bit as brilliant a future. Demaree is a pitcher who will last for many many years He may never be able to shoulder the same amount of work that Mathewson has per formed. But he will come through triumphantly in the great majority nf his starts, because he pitches as much with his head as with his arm. When in easy going he depends upon his support. Only when absolutely necessary does he employ all the cun ning at his command. Master at Changing Pace. I said before that Demaree is e master at changing pace. His con trol is well nigh perfect. Add to this i good curve ball and a fine turn of speed and vou will see he has quali fications of worth possessed by very- few recruits. Furthermore, he holds runner* io their bases very well. He hasn t caught a great many of them nap- Ding. Yet his delivery is so puzzling that they are always fooled and forced to hug the cushions. They do no. know when he is going to throw to first, and those few he has caught have been nailed flatfooted_ Demaree is very easy on his catch er. He throws what i* n . al ? baseball parlance as a light ball. It is not hard to handle. Because of the known quality of steadiness Als ratchpr can always be In a position to throw well. This, with his afore- mentioned deceptive Hvery baae-mnner at a distinct disadvan tage. ______________. Wonderful Blood Remedy Brings Health to a Host of Sufferers The remarkable action of S. S. S. in the blood is giv en Impetus by a letter received from Earl C. Cook, 708 South Center St., Bloom ington, Ill. He says, "I suffered several months and took treat ment here, but ob tained relief only for a few days at a time. Becoming doubtful of re sults, I quit the doctors, and there v as marked improvement from the Ktrrt. I used thirteen bottles of S. S. S. and was entirely cured. My blood was in a dreadful condition, and 1 can not thank S. S. S. enough for my wonderful recovery." This preparation stands alone among specific remedies as a blood purifier, since it accomplishes all that was ever claimed for mercury, io dides, arsenic and other destructive mineral drugs, and yet It Is absolute ly a purely vegetable product. These facts are brought out in a highly in teresting book compiled by the medi cal department of The Swift Specific Co., 192 Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Oa. It is mailed free, together with a special letter of advice to all who are strug gling with a blood disease. Get a bottle of S. S. S. to-day of your druggist.

DARK 1 f' Packey McFarland Praises White |||[j||[[[ jj|[] +•+ +•+ +•+ ‘5 Mere Lbs. and He’d Be Champ’ B C By Packey McFarland. HICAGO, ILL., Aug. 8.—Five pounds in weight Is the only thing that stands between Charlie White and the lightweight championship. I firmly believe that Charlie to-day can take either Ad Wolgast. Johnny Dundee or any other boy weighing around 128 or 130 pounds and stop him. Furthermore, I will say that if the lightweight limit was 133 pounds ringside. White would have a great chance to cop the title. 1 have boxed with Charlie several times, and can truthfully say he packs the hardest wallop of any boy I have ever met. This may sound a little boastful, but, nevertheless, it is true. poundage—that is, the added weight that keeps me from being a legiti mate lightweight—1 think a battle between White and myself would be the greatest of all battles. Charlie's big handicap now is his weight. Wil lie Ritchie, the present title holder, can not make 133 pounds ringside. If White were to meet Willie, the lat ter would make 133 pounds in the morning, which would bring him into the ring around 136. Charlie Weighs Only 128. Now, Charlie never weighs more than 12S in condition. I know’ this to be a fact, as I boxed with him four days before he went to box Britton at New Orleans on July 4, and he tipped the beam at 127. I also told Nate Lewis a year ago, when Charlie left to box Owen Moran that his protege would surely defeat the Englishman. At that time I had a match pending with Moran on che coast, and when Lewis told me he had White signed to box Owen I nearly cried. I was to get $5,000 guar antee to box Moran, but I knew White would beat him and rob me of the bout. Many of the local sporting men laughed at me when 1 told them Charlie would beat Moran. They told me that Charlie wag too light and all that. But I knew Moran was making 133 ringside, and Owen was taking White lightly. Charlie stopped Moran in nine rounds and proved my assertion. I lost the match and $5,000. Monti never has been any good since that fight, and I don’t think he ever will amount to much again. That left hook of Charlie’s will take the heart out of anyone White Has Stiff Punch. When Lewis matched White with Britton. I told Nate that White's only hope was to stop Jack. It was a good match at that, as Charlie has a good chance with any of them, and had everything to gain and nothing to lose. And. believe me, if Charlie ever caught Jack on the jaw instead of on the neck in the seventh round, it would have been good night with BrittonV claim for a chance at Ritchie’s crown. Luckily Charlie hur* his hand landing the wallop, and had to do the rest of the milling with his right member. Charlie After Britton. When Charlie returned from the match he begged Lewis to get him a return engagement. Lewis, how ever, told Charlie to wait until took on a couple of pound* During the entire eighteen rounds of milling in the recent Britton-White go, the former never even floored White Charlie told me that Britton never even staggered him. A badly cut* lip caused blood to flow from Charlie’s mouth and made it look bad to the ministers around the ringside, and they appealed to the Sheriff to stop the bout. Now, can you Imagine a boy weigh ing 128 pounds fighting Jack Britton at 138 and putting up the battle he did. Jack.is one of the leading claim ants to a match with Ritchie, and ip also one of my greatest rivals. Yet Charlie to-day would be nearly an even-money bet against him. Blow Travels Four Inches. Yes. if Charlie White had fivtj more pounds in weight he would be light- ' the world. If If I could give Charlie my excess ’he^ghtwelglue"*”/. fighting at 133 pounds ringside, Charlie White would be an even money bet against the bevt of them. He has the o/ie big advantage over all the 133 pounders to-day. He has the punch, and it If I had his only travels four inches, wallop I would box any heavyweight in the world to-day. Take my tip and watch this boy’8 rise in the next year. All Set for Polo Match To-morrow c BUT ir EVERS HICAGO, ILL., Aug. 5.—Johnny Evers, manager of the Cubs, started to weed out several of his veterans yesterday when he announced the disposal of Ed Reul- bach, for years a West Side star, and Mike Mitchell, outfielder. Reulbach was traded to Brooklyn for Eddie Stack. Th e latter is a for mer Chicago semi-pro twirler and has pitched fairly good ball for Dah- len’s crew. Reulbach has been an In and outer all season. When in form he is one of the greatest hurlers in the country. Waivers were asked on Mike Mitchell, but Fred Clarke, of the Pi rates, refused to allow him to go to the minora. He will probably be used regularly in center field or may be kept as a pinch hitter. Ward Miller will be used in left field for the Cubs. BOXING News of the Ring Game HOT SCRAP EXPECTED WHEN FLYNN AND SMITH HOOK UP The Atlanta polo four await with Interest the announcement of the quartet representing the Seventeenth Regiment, which will meet them In the first polo match ever put on In Atlanta, scheduled for to-morrow at the big parade around. There has been much rlval.*> for places on the officers’ team, and there probably will be a long list of substitutes left over when the final selection is made. The Atlanta squad is composed of Captain J. O. Seamans, Albert S. J. Tucker, PI M. Landrum p.n' 1 Milton Wise. All are experienced in the game. Preliminary to the match there will be gymkhana events—wrestling on horseback, a mounted tug-of-war, and other equestrian sports and ex hibitions. The officials for the match are Colonel M. E. Carthew-Yorstoun, referee; Robert F. Maddox. timer; Wilmer L. Moore, scorer; and James R. Gray and Clark Howell, goal judges. NEW YORK, Aug 5^-If there Is not a real slugging match at Madison. Square Garden next Friday night there will be a good many fight fans badly dis appointed. With Jim Flynn and Gun boat Smith to provide the slugging, it is hard for any one to believe or even suspect that there isn’t going to be a fight. Two better men for the job would be hard to find. So far as condition goes, both men are fit and ready for the gong The consensus of opinion favors Flynn, and while there isn’t, much money being wagered on the result the probabili ties are that Flynn will rule a favorite in whatever betting there is. SENSATIONAL TWIRLER SIGNS WITH WHITE SOX ASHLAND, WIS., Aug B.—Jaok Doyle, for the Chicago White Sox, to day signed up Quardars, the sensa tional pitcher of the Ashland baseball team.

BECAUSE HEDGES SUED E. N EW YORK, Aug. 1.-—Manager George Stovall has departed from hitherto to yon In search of talent. A friend of his connected with the Wilmington, Del., club drop ped In the day the Browns arrived, and weld he knew two pitchers and a catcher who can hit. Stovall Is not so keen for the pitch ers. but he most surely would like a receiver who can swat the pill. Hence he departed for Wilmington in search of the Juvenile phonom. He will look him over carefully and make recom mendation to Colonel Hedge*’, who has said he will join the dub in Bos ton. Manager Stovall did not get a ohance to see the Wilmington phe- nonifl perform, as an adult rain broke loose Just as he arrived at the Dela ware ball yard. Hence $5 worth of perfectly good expense money way wasted on a vain mission. Stovall did have a pleasant after noon with Bill Coughlin, the old De troit »tar who 1b managing a club In the Tri-State league. Bill etlll plays once In a while, and flays managing in the minors Is no slouch Job. Wanted Elmer Brown. Stovall, by the way, Is greatly dis appointed that Elmer Brown got away “I told Mr. Hedges,” he said, “when Brown was sent to Montgom ery last year that he should send him with a atrlng attached, nnd he led tn^ to believe that Brown went out that wav. 'Tyaert vear he woe not exactly right physically, and could last for only six or seven innings In that time he ehowed everything, but he would blow up. “T have followed hl« work carefully this year, and I understand he has been leading the Southern Leftgtie. “I considered him too good a man to get away, and I was disappointed when shown clippings that he was go ing to Brooklyn. We need good right- handed pitchem. t nd I am sure from what Brown showed and from h : record thfc* year he was just ths mu to strengthen our staff next season Nobody Consulted Stoval. “However, I was not consulted ; the matter. It may bo that the club scouts have dug up a world beater !r. this Manning. “I know nothing of him, but I do know that I would like to have had Elmer Brown back next season, and I knotv he would have been a lot of use to our club.” Big Race at Motordrome To-night +•+ +•+ +•+ , Richards and Graves to Clash H AB Tex Richards’ days of su premacy over the motorcycle demons at Atlanta at the pres ent time come to an end?

Local fans had their first chance to see Morty on his new machine last week, and those that were present know what happened Graves defeat ed Richards by a nose In the only race they clashed in, and is out to prove that it wasn't a fluke.
