T HE Whlte-Whitney bout, sched
uled for Wednesday night, Au
gust 3, will be held In th«
Auditorium-Armory. Lou ('astro was
afraid that his new arena out at
Poncy Park would not be completed
in time, so the match was shifted to
the Auditorium-Armory.
Three companies of the local regi
ment w’ill share the receipts of the
match, and from the outlook the sol
dier boys will get enough money to
buy brand new uniforms. It is i
cinch that the biggest crowd that ever
witnessed a mill in Atlanta will he
on hand when the lods 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 choice
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 least $5
for ringside seat a for this same scrap.

B attling nelson i« one of the
squarest boxers that ever wor*‘
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 Chicago
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 vevterday 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
“retire” stuff. Well, here'* hoping
that if he ever does return to the
game that he can be Induced to come
back to Atlanta to display his wares.
We want just this sort of a fellow
with us

T HE Southern Merchants' Conven
tion which is to be held here will
have a wtrong representation at the
Whi-tney-White mill. Three thousand
of them have* practically arranged
for a section of seats.
A special rate has been made for
them.

the coming welterweight cham
pion in Eddie. Hanlon. Bill gave us
the following earful of chatter last
night when we bumped Into him at
Five Pointst
’Tve got the next welter champ

old; can box with the best of 'em,
and carries^a terrible kick I'm plan
ning to tak*> him to New York in the
fall, and heCll oo.me back to Atlanta

They needn't worry about that.
They’ll meet him. all right. And the

to work a game of very few tallies to'

AT that, the standing of the Crack-

Now Mr Kavanaugh has decided
not to settle the matter by the tra

up. but lias ruled that the contra
dicting clubs shall play off the game
at the next (and final) visit of tnc
Crackers at Sulphur Dell.

Nick presumably joined the Sen

that Is one of the things he is teach

a very simple system. He once ex
plained it to the writer.
”A1J I ever did was to mnke ’em
hit the ball,” Nick aroerted. "I hard
ly ever tried to strike a man out. I
tried to mnke him hit it. with some
thing on the ball, apd not where ue
wanted it. Make ’em hit bad ones,
was my motto.”
If that’s the system Nick is teach
ing Boehllng. there is additional proof
that it’s a pretty fair little system

{{ T ’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.
"I’m here to shove this club up
into first division,” said he. “and I
tfure 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
firK 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 tlie big league material on

the scouts bring in."

Friend Writer has a notion that
Chance is there. He concludes this
from history. When George Stallings
took hold of the Yanks he was a pret- 1
tv old fellow, and yet he maced that
hunch of old-timer® into form and in
two years had the Yanks harking for
the penna'nt. Stallings was deposed
by a series of shifty deals, and we do
hear that Ban Johnson allowed “Stal
lings must go.” He went and he came
back. Who told you to say that?
Chase had his fling and does not

Wolverton and finally sixes Chance,

wouldn’t have undertaken the Job if

CHANCE OFFERS $10,000 FOR
MINOR LEAGUE PLAYER
BALTIMORE Aug 5.—Manager
Frank Chance, of the New York Ameri

Stallings, of the Boston Braves, is also

TYPE.
Once a portly baseball magnate read
a book of knightly lore
And the tale of blood and glory
thrilled him to his bosom's core.
For• it told of noble tourneys where
the knights in iron coat*
With their spears and battle axes
strove to gi t 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.
“Ah!" he muttered as hr pondered
on the quaint and knightly lore,
“If I only had been living in the
wondrous days of yore!
If I 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. Herrhan 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

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

Miller Huggins says he is willing to
sell his entire team, but If he dees he
may be pinched for obtaining money un

It is an ancient Pelican fan.
His hair is white as snow,
lie hath a store of baseball lore
That happened years ago.
He tells me tales of ami cut days
And holds me in a spell.
For hr 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 thou? "I dstth aver,
And doubt is in my rye.
“O. I am Ananias, sir,"
He gayly makes reply.
Price Against Coveleskle To-day
-p • v*
Hitting Slump
Lookouts in a
By Joe Agler.
C HATTANOOGA, TEXN.. Aug. B.
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 wme 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 als*o got
a double, earlier in the game, and
played cleverly In the field.
The Lookouts are in a hitting
slump, and I can’, 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 game he worked last Satur
day.
FODDER FOR FANS
An error by Ty Cobb gave the New
York Yankees a victory over Detroit
by the score of 6 to 4.

Friends of “Rube” Marquard, the big
Giant twirler. claim that he is develop

had to be sent into the box to pull the
Giants out of a hole in the game at
Pitsburg after Demaree had weakened.

As the Giants were ahead when Mc
Graw relieved Demaree the victory goes
to him. although it was really Mar
quard who put it over the Buccaneers.
A rumor that Johnny Evers would
not be retained at the end of the pres
