r IK White-Whitney bout, sched

Auditorium-Armory. Lou Castro was
ifraid that his new arena out nr
Poncv Park would not be completed
in time, sb the match was shffted to
he Auditorium - Armory.
Three companies of the local regi
ment will 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 a
Mnch that the biggest crowd that ever
witnessed a mill in Atlanta will be
on hand when the lads climb Into
the ring
The demand for tickets Is large
pven though they haven’t been placed
on sale yet. Castro has received let
ters from fans in Macon, Augusta and
Athene, asking that he reserve choice
seats for them.
Popular prices will prevail. The
balcony seats 111 be $1 The ring
side "berths’ will he $£, while the
dress circle seats will set each fan
who purchases them back It.50.
There isn’t another club In the coun
try that wouldn’t demand at least $5
for ringside seats for this same scrap.

Prank Whltnev here, there was a mis
take In his "cut.’’ He was overpaid
$151.30. The mistake was not known
until the next day, and the Battler
was then on hlH 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 yesterday Weaver received a
check for the amount.
How many boxers are there who

would "come across" like the old

Right now Nelson is strong on the
"retire” stuff. Well, here’s 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

A MONG the cheering effects of
getting the Jump game off the
Lookouts might be mentioned
the picking up of half a lap on the
Gulls and the BIHlkens, who were
Idle; the continued good pitching of
Elliot Pent and the improved focus
In the batting lamps of our young
friend, Harry Hdlland.
’Harry got a couple of satisfactory

ter punch coinciding with our idea
of the proper juncture to produce a
hit Harry’s fielding continued sharp
and flashy, the report goes, and alto
gether he looked mighty good.
THE Crackers had fully expected *o
1 bump Into Mr Ooveleskle, the
well-known Irish newsboy, in the
opener. They weren’t much afraid of
the Terrible Telephone Pole, and
rather hoped to meet him and get It
over with
They needn’t worry about that.
They’ll meet him. all right. And the
chances are strongjy in favor of some
body—Mr. Price, for example—bavin?
to work a game of very few tallies to
pin the flag on the right side at the
finish.
AT that, the standing of the Crack-
** ers in the percentage column
appears exactly the same this morn
ing as It did yesterday.
President Havana ugh has handed
down a ruling on the justly celebrat-
eM, but never played, game in Nash
ville, claimed by forfeit by both the
Crackers and the Vols. Each city
loyally espoused the standing select
ed by Its noble wrecking crew, and
the papers have been somewhat con
fusingly at variance for some weeks.
Now Mr. Kavanaugh has decide 1
not to settle the matter by the tra
ditional method of a quarter, flipped
up. but has ruled that the contra
dicting clubs shall play off the game
at the next (and final) visit of tne
Crackers at Sulphur Dell.
So the game comes off the stand
lngs for the nonce.
Nick Altrock. himself vome southpaw,
back in the clays when he started the
White Sox toward a world's cham
pionship by Hi king Mordecai Brown,
of the Cuba, in the first game of the
series of 1906.
Nick presumably Joined the Sen
ators. after playing with Minneapolis
and Kansas City In the American As.
Hulatlon, to make vaudeville shows
on the coaching lines in company with
Germany Schaefer.
But the story goes that Nicholas
now is adviser-in-chief to the won
derful voting southpaw, who was be
wildered at first by too many coach^v
and was floundering around dismally.
\\J ell. Nick Is a wise old bird. He
vv has been In baeeball nearly 20
years, and he knows a thing or two
about the game. Also, he has the
smoothest balk motion that ever nip
ped a hapless runner off first. And
that Is one of the things he Is teach
ing Boehllng.
In the matter of pitching, Nick had
a very simple system. He once ex
plained It to the writer.
"All I ever did was to make ’em
hit the ball,’’ Nick asserted. "I hard
ly ever tried to strike a man out. I
tried to make him hit it. with some
thing on the ball, and not where ue
wanted It. Make ’em hit bad ones,
was my motto.”
If that’s the system Nick is teach
ing Boehllng. ^here is additional proof
that it's a pretty fair little system.

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
demnitton grateful to the fans and
press of New York for giving him a
decent advertisement.
“I’m here to shove -this club up
into flrsr division,” said he. ‘and I
.«ure 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
firvt 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 brmg In.”
Frank Chance Is "There.”
Friend Writer has a notiom that
Chance is there. He concludes this
from history. When George Stallings
took hold of the Yanks he was a pret- 1
ty old fellow, and yet he maced that
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 thai Ban Johnson allowed "Stal-
limrs 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 Cae?*ar. where
upon the club rambles artmnd with
VVolverton and finally sizes Chance,
who Is so well off that he probably
wouldn’t have undertaken the job if
C. Wehfoot Murphy were morgued.
Baseball managers seem to be born,
not made We notice that Rresnahan
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
white as Sam Crane’s, have swung
through the seasons.
Chance is a severe taskmaster. He
lias 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
Kleinotf. Lou Criger and a hunch 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.

Once a portly baseball magnate read
a book 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.
“Ah!” he muttered as he pondered
on the quaint and knightly lore,
“// 1 only had been living in the
wondrous days of yore!
If I only were a magnate in the days
of long ago

ANSWER.
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 '*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 al«*o 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 game he worked last Satur
day.

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

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.
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
