Au gust 3, will be held In the 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. B attling nelson is one of the aquarest boxers that ever wor« a flve-oance glove. When he boxed 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 00D FQRFMS would "come across" like the old champion did? 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 with us. • • • T HE Southern Merchants’ Conven tion which Is to be held her© will nave a strong representation at the Whitney-White mill. Three thousand Df them have practically arranged '’or a section pf seats. A special rate has been made for them B ILLY LUTZ believes that he has the coming welterweight cham pion in Eddie Hanlon. BUI gave us the following earful of chatter last night when we bumped into him at iHve Points: •I’ve got the next welter champ sure. Why. Eddie is only ID, years old; can box with the best of ’em. and carries a terrible kick. I’m plan ning to take him to New York In the fall, and he’ll come back to Atlanta & champion, sure." Hanlon really is a classy boy He showed wonderful improvement in his recent bout with Terry ’Nelson. J. K. McDonald Wins Payne Golf Trophy The .1.

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. Monday's Game. Chattanooga: ab. r. h. po.

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. TYPE. 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 1 could pack ’em in by millions at an iron man per throwP’ One J. Herman, wrestling Impresario, arises to opine that one S.

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 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. 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.

Aug. 5.—Manager Frank Chance, of the New Y'ork Ameri cans. to-day made an offer of $10,000 and two players fjr Fritz Maizel. of i he local International League team. Stallings, of the Boston Braves, is also bidding for the star athlete. ^ 1 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. The Cubs have purchased Outfielder Charles Stewart from the Indianapolis (American Association) club. Stewart will report in a few days. The luck of the Brooklyn Dodger* has at last turned, the Cubs being the victims. The Cincinnati Reds pounded out 19 hits in the game with the Boston Braves and won easily. Three members of the Phillies got home runs in the game with the Cardi nals. Beals Becker started the fun and was followed by Cravath and Luderus. The Chicago White Sox are living up to their record as the "hitless won ders." beating Washington in spite of the fact that the Senators got ten hita and the Sox only four. Donie Bush, the Detroit Tigers* shortstop, who was banished for kick ing by Umpire "Silk” O’Loughlin, put the fans at the Polo Grounds in a roar of laughter by borrowing a crutch from Rfollie Zeider and hobbling to the gate. Even the stern-faced “Silk” gave way to a smile. 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.
