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.

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 hand and supplementing it with what the scouts bring in." Frank Chance Is “There. w 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 wax into any Julius Caesar, where upon the club rambles around with Wolverton and finally sixes Chance, wiio 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 s»wung 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 George Stallings*. There was Jack Kleinow. Lou Criger and a bunch of old-timers who thought Stallings was a joke because he started a baseball school at Macon. Ga.. when the club was training there In 1909. CHANCE OFFERS $10,000 FOR MINOR LEAGUE PLAYER BALTIMORE Aug 5.—Manager Frank Chance, of the New York Ameri cans, to-day made an offer of $10,000 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 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 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 dees he may be pinched for obtaining money un der false pretenses. ANANIAS. 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 ing into a second Mathewson. “Rube” 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 ent season as manager of the Chicago Nationals is denied by President Mur phy. • * * The Cubs have purchased Outfielder Charles Stewart from the Indianapolis (American Association) club.
