Skinny Gets a Regular Caruso Job
HE White-Whitney bout, sched
uled for Wednesday night, Au
gust 8, will be held In th*
Auditorium-Armory. Lou Castro was
afraid that his new arena out a!
Poncv Park would not be completed
in time, so the match was shifted to
the Auditorium-Arrnorv.
Three companies of the local regi
ment will share the receipt** of the
match, ami from the outlook the sol
dier hoys will get enough monev to
buy brand new uniforms. It is a
cinch that the biggest crowd that ever
witnessed a mill in Atlanta will he
on hand when the lads climb into
the ring
The demand for tickets is large,
even though they haven’t been placed
on sale yet. ('astro has received let
ters from fans in Macon. Augusta and
Athens asking that he reserve ehol e
seats for them
Popular prices will prevail. The
balcony seats ill be $1 The ring
side "berths' will be $2, while the
dress circle seats will set each fan
who purchases them back $1.50.
There Isn’t another club in the coun
try that wouldn’t demand at leant $5
for ringHde seats for this same .«*crHp.

B ATTLIN’(1 NELSON is one of the
squares! boxers that ever wore
a five-ounce glove. When he boxed
Frank Whitney here, there was a mis
take in his "cut." He was overpaid
$151.20. The mistake was not known
until the next day, and the Battler
was then on his way to (’hicago.
About a week ago Captain Homer
Weaver, one of the promoters of that
contest, told the writer about the mis
take. I suggested that the honorable
captain write to Bat about the mat
ter He did.
And yesterday Weaver received a
check for the amount.
How many boxers are there who
would “come across" like the old
champion did?
Right now Nelson Is strong on the
"ret ife" Stuff. Well, here’s hoping
that if he ever does return to the
game that he can be Induced to come
bark to Atlanta to display his wares.
We want just this sort of a fellow
with us.

the coming welterweight cham

the following earful of chatter last

"I've got the next welter champ

AT that, the standing of the Craek-

appears exactly the same this morn
ing as it did yesterday.
President Ka vans ugh has handed
down a ruling on the Justly celebrat

ville. claimed by forfeit by both the
Crackers and the Vcls. Each city
loyally espoused the standing select
ed by its noble wrecking crow, and
the papers have been somewhat con
fusingly at variance for some weeks.
Now Mr Kavanaugh has decided
not to settle the matter by the tra
ditional ■ method of a quarter, flipped
up. but has ruled that the contra
dicting clubs shall plav off the gam*'
at the next (and final) visit of the
Crackers at Sulphur Dell.
So the game comes off the stand

Nick presumably joined the Sen

But the story goes that Nicholas

that is one of the things he is teach

In the matter of pitching. Nick had
a very simple system. He once ex

’LL quit when they bridge the
Atlantic Ocean.” rumbled Husk
Chance yesterday after a
whale of a storm balked the gladiators
from mingling.
Chance was good and sore, but
demnition grateful to the fans and
press of New York for giving him a
decent advertisement.
‘J’m here to shove this club up
into first division,” said he. "and I
sure would be a quitter If I slipped
off the rails at this stage.
"This American League is fast," he
went on. while dickering for an auto
mobile, and Husk is some chauffeur.
"Looks to me as though the general
run of pitchers in the A. L. have an
edge on those of the National. The
proposition of pulling a club up into
ftrs't division among this company
from the bottom step is enough to
make your hair turn gray. Jennings.
Callahan and Stovall are all out to
butt into quality, and they had the
Jump on me. Now it is a case of
melding the big league material on
hand and supplementing it with what
the scouts bring in."
Frank Chance Is "There.”
Friend Writer lias a notion that
Chance is there. He concludes this
from history. When George Stallings
took hold of the Yanks he was a pret- i
ty old fellow, and yet he maced that j
bunch of old-timer." into form and in
two years had the Yanks barking for
the pennant. Stallings was deposed
by a series of shifty deals, and we do
hear that Ran Johnson allowed "Stal
lings must go." He went and he camt
back. Who told you to say that?
Chase had his fling and does not
wax into any Julius Caesar, where
upon the club rambles around with
Wolverton and finally sizes Chance,
who is so well off that he probably
wouldn’t have undertaken the job if
C Webfoot Murphy were morgued.
Baseball managers seem to be born,
not made. We notice that Bresnahan
and a whole bunch of youngsters
•could not deliver, while Clark Grif
fith. and we might even mention J.
McGraw. whose hair is almost as
w hite as Sam Crane's*, have swung
through the seasons.
Chance is a severe taskmaster. He
has fined a lot of the boys heavily
for this and that. We hear stuff that
the team is sore on him. Well, let the
team be sore. The team was sore on

BALTIMORE Aug 5.—Manager
Frank Chance, of the New York Ameri

and two players for Fritz Maizel. of
the local International League team.
Stallings, of the Boston Braves, is also
bidding for the star athlete.
' TYPE.
Once n portly baseball magnate read
a bonk of knightly lore
And the talc of blood and glory
thrilled him to his bosom's core.
For it told of noble tourneys where
the knights in iron coats
With their spears and battle axes
strove to get each other's goats
And it told of. slender maidens and
of portly jeweled dames
Who were gathered there in myriads
to watch the noble games.
“Ahff he muttered as he pondered
on the quaint and knightly lore,
“// I only had been living in the.
wondrous days of yore!
If l only were a magnate in the days
of long ago
I could pack 'em in by millions at
an iron man per throw!"
One J. Herman, wrestling impresario,
arises to opine that one S. Zybszko is
the champion mat artist of this here
universe. This here universe should
worry, as the vulgarians are wont to
say.
Mr. Herman goes on to vouchsafe: "I
think Gotch is not showing the best
sportsmanship," just as if sportsman
ship had anything to do with the wrest
ling game.
Carl, Morris says he will go back to
railroading when he quits fighting. If
he is an accommodating young man, he
will tell us when he started fighting.
Day by day one becomes more and
more interested in the race in the Amer
ican League—between Ty Cobb and Joe
Jackson.
Connie Mack avers that Jack Coombs
is at liberty to report whenever he feels
that way. If Connie only had the in
terests of the American League at heart
he would also give his infield a pro
longed vacation.
Digesting baseball dope is almost as
reliable as eating mushrooms. If you
live it’s a mushroom.
The report that Amos Rusie Is a
plumber reminds us that the Volunteers
are playing as if they have been hitting
the pipe.
Miller Huggins says he is willing to
sell his entire team, but if he does he
may be pinched for obtaining money un
der false pretenses.
ANANIAS.
It is an ancient Pelican fan.
If is hair is white as snow.
He hath a store of baseball lore
That happened years ago.
He tells me tales of ancient days
And holds me in a spell,
For he is there with heated air
And he can use it well.
“Ah, yes" he gayly ambles on.
"How well do I recall
Those days of old when Pels were
bold
And fairly killed the ball!"
"And who art thouf "I doth aver,
And doubt is in my eye.
‘‘O, / am Ananias, sir."
He gayly makes reply.
Price Against Coveleskie To-day
*•*
+•+
Lookouts in a Hitting Slump
By Joe Agler.
C HATTANOOGA, TENN.. Aug. 5.
We copped the jump game, all
right, and Gilbert Price draws
the job of fronting the celebrated
Pole, Ignatz Coveleskie. in the sec
ond contest to-day. We all expect
Gilbert to go some to beat this lad.
and we are going to do all we can
to make s«ome runs for him off the
big southpaw. Joe Dunn will catch
for us.
In the game yesterday, Dent had a
fine little pitching duel with Som
mers until the eighth inning, when
Dee Walsh went to pieces and- the
Crackers bunched three hits, good for
four runs and the game. Harry Hol
land. the Tech star, was the timely
hitter in this round, his single with
the bases full practically sewing up
the game right there. He also got
a double, earlier in the game, and
played cleverly In the field.
The Lookouts are in a hitting
slump, and I can’t see anything to
stop us short of three games out of
the four.
All our boys are well except Slim
Love, who is a little under the weath
er. He is pretty certain to be all
right when his turn on the slab comes
around, however, and Bill Smith says
the long boy earned a regular turn
in that garme he worked last Satur
day.
