Am stopping in Chi cago for a couple of days so as to get benefit of sparring part ners. Working at O’Connell’s gym. There are not any clever light weights in Atlanta for Frank to work out with. In the Windy City there nre plenty of boys who can give the ‘Fighting Carpenter” just the sort of work he needs. Tickets for the show will go on sale this afternoon at Shepherd’s Cigar Store, corner of Edgowooi and Pryor On account of the size of the Auditorium-Armory, it has been decided to make the prices $1, $1.50 and $2.

BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip v After nine consecutive victories the winning streak of “Rube” Marquard, the big Giant southpaw, was broken by the Pirates. By being beaten by Pittsburg the Giants had their lead in the National League cut to seven games. With Phil adelphia going strong the pennant race still presents a chance for surprises.

AGeorge Stovall Is greatly offended at Bob Hedges, owner of the St. Louis Browns, because of his action in dis posing of the option on Pitcher Elmer Brown, who was recently purchased by Brooklyn for $7,000. Stovall considers Brown a rising young twirler. Tommy Leach, formerly of the Pirates, has been appointed field captain of the Cubs, succeeding Heinie Zim merman. Five errors helped to defeat the Yan kees in the game with Detroit, while Ty Cobb assisted the Tigers with two three-baggers. I^arry Lajoie, of the Cleveland Naps, who has been described for some years as one of the wrecks of the national pastime, trotted up to the bat in Phila delphia and smashed out three hits, one of which was a home run, another a two-bagger and the third a long sin gle.

Pluvlus will compromise with the weather man for this one afternoon, he will earn the re spect and friendly admiration of sev eral thousand Atlantans, who are planning to witness Atlanta’s first polo match on the big parade ground at Fort McPherson, beginning at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Everything is set for .the contest between a team representing Atlan ta and a quartet of officers of the Seventeenth Regiment. The person nel of the officers’ team has not been announced, but it is known that there are enough experts with the Seven teenth to make up the requisite four of experienced polo players and have a second four left over for substi tutes. The local four will be Captain J. O. Seamans, of the Governor'3 Horse Guard, who played the game :n the arm- who will lead the team: Albert Sidney J. Tucker of Lexing ton, Va.; E. M.

No admission will be charged and a cordial invitation is extended to all who are interested in the sport. Lou Castro is a busy man these days. Lou is dividing his time in eating three squares a day and getting his fighting arena ih shape for his big boxing show to be staged at the Auditorium-Armory on August 13. Whitney has wired Cas tro that he w r ill be here Friday. Kid Young and Mike Saul are work ing together for their coming bouts at (he Auditorium. Young takes on Charlie Lee. while Mike will probably don the padded mitts with Eddie Hanlon. Young is developing a terrific kick in his righi hand, and experts to topple I^ee over long before the tenth round is reached. Kid Wonder took a trip to The Geor gian Sporting Department yesterday to inform us, that he is after a match with some local featherweight. Wonder is particularly anxious to get on with either Kid Young or Charlie Lee. A unique situation exists in the fight game in Los Angeles. Both Joe Rivers and Ad Wolgast want to meet Willie Ritchie, and have started bidding for the match. Both boys are willing to give the champion a neat side bet. Packey McFarland Is the latest to put in a boost for Charlie White. Packey says that Charlie is without a doubt the greatest 1284pound boy in the game to-day. Joe Tnomas and Jake Abel probably agree with McFarland They are certainly picking soft marks for Carl Morris in the West. A1 Bene dict, his latest victim, would he easy for a lot of Philadelphia welterweights. Three 10-round bouts between heavy weights are to be staged at the St. Nicholas A. C., New York, to-night. Porky Flynn, of Boston, will meet Sailor White, of Newark; Frank McGuinness, the Irish heavyweight, will battle Jack Keating, of the United States Navy, and A1 Kubiak is to try conclusions with Tim Logan, of Philadelphia. Johnny Coulon, bantamweight cham pion of the world, and Bobby Burns, of Dallas, Texas, have been matched to meet in a ten-round go at Omaha on September 12. If Coulon finds that he is right in tills bout, he may go to the coast for a scrap with Kid Williams. A banner house is expected to attend the Gunboat Smlth-.lim Flynn set-to at New York on August 8. Both boys have been doing all their training in the Eastern City, and look to be in great shape. They are scheduled to go ten rounds Cyclone Thompson and Billy Hooper, colored lightweights, may be put on in one of the bouts to he held at the Audi torium-Armory on August 13. They are now dickering with Lou Castro. Arthur Pelky and Charlie Miller may clash in a long go at Los Angeles. Mc- Carey plans to match the pair for a September date. Tommy Burns, man ager of Pelky, took the match with the understanding that if Pelky defeated Miller he was to get a fight with Gun boat Smith. Fuzzy Woodruff Describes Chicago Boy's First Fight in a Ring CHARLEY WHITE’S DEBIT HOWLING SUCCESS By Fuzzy Woodruff. L ET a man attain prominence In any field of endeavor—be it finance, politics, medicine, the law, burglary or the stage—some auld acquaintance is as sure to ris>e up and chirp “I knew When, etc.,” as a bleacherite Is to yell “win your old game, boy,” when the pitcher comes to bat with the score 11 to 2 against him with two down in the ninth in ning. It ranks with “I told you so” and "let's have another" as one of the most useful phrases of conversation. All of this Is merely a preface to a “I knew him when” yarn about Char ley White, the wonderful Chicago lightweight, who is to inept Frank Whitney at the Auditorium-Armory arena August 13. White is a real championship con tender now. In fact, in a lightweight division remarkable for the lack of punching power among the top-notch- ers. White should be regarded as easily the most dangerous man of his poundage alive. But when I first saw Charley box he was as unknown to fame as was Jim Conley before the Phagan mys tery’s first chapter was written. If my memory serves me right, it was on Labor Day of 1908. at the old Hawthorne race track, the last of the Windy City's once glorious do main of the thoroughbreds. That year boxing, racing and pretty much everything else was under the ban in Chicago, but on Labor Day It was announced that the unions were to hold their celebration at the old track and the lid was to be lifted for the occasion. The bang-tails were to run in the afternoon; there would be fighting at night; handbook men would be al lowed to operate unmolested. Everv known gambling device was to be in operation. left hand out that carried death and destruction, but Goodman was never there. The sreond round was about a repe tition of the first. White vainly striv ing to land a crushing blow. The final round was fast and furious. White was on top of Goodman from the gong. Left and right were whipped out with lightning rapidity. Good man was boxing his best, but finally a left found its way to his stomach. Goodman doubled up and all but col lapsed. and the crowd was on its feet yelling. The veteran, though, ouickly cov ered and stalled through the remain ing minute of the round. Though Goodman had landed twenty blows to White’s one, the one that Charley put over evened the fight, and he was entitled to a draw. That was his baptism of fire, and so impressive was his showing that Nate Lewis, who was at the ringside. promptly took the boy under his tute lage and started him on his climb to the championship. T DID NOT see White box again until 1 he met Jake Abel In the Audito rium a few weeks ago. I had always believed Abel about as clever a boy as the South boasts 1 had no idea that he would knock White out. but I had no idea that White would stop him. The bout seemed destined to go the ten rounds. But at the first gong White showed more than I have ever seen in an Atlanta ring. Abel was a toy. When White sent him crumbling to the floor In the second round, there was not a man in the house not glad that the bout ended there. It had been one sided entirely. In 1908 I had peen White a novice. Just five yenrs later, if he was not a champion he was at least the mo3t dangerous man in his division. GA.-ALA. LEAGUE NOTES Every town in the league around the Georgia-Alabama circuit is glad when the Opelika boys blow in. They’re a bunch of collegians and gentlemanly fel low’s, as well as good ball players. the fans sometimes knock, but love nevertheless, and in his exit there goes a gentleman of the field. Everybody in the South knows Louis Hardage, recently with Vanderbilt, now playing in their left garden. •‘Chick’’ Hannan, the old Alabama star, who has just quit the game, is equally well known. Klllingsworth, the big Anniston pitch er, made a bid for a job with Opelika In the game Monday afternoon, should he ever get “canned” by Anniston. A fracas with the umpire caused the park ing of three Pelicans, and Killy had to be borrowed for the emergency. Then there is Bone, of Washington and Lee; Allen and Ragsdale, of Au burn; Cantlev and others who have played on college diamonds and grid irons. “Click” Hannon, for years one of the best-known factors in Southern football and baseball, an all-Southern quarter and shortstop at Alabama, has said his ••thirty” to active sports, although he will hereafter be assistant coach in ath letics at Alabama, his alma mater. In right field he pulled down a stellar fly on the run. and when he came to the bat the last time he put Left-fielder Henry up against the fence to gather in a 16ng swat from his own willow Alto gether, his work came near costing his teammates the game. He plays for the love of the thing, and says he forgot to pull in his punch. Before he got an Injured wing, result ing from a broken shoulder blade in a football game. Hannon was headed straight for the majors, if he wanted to ascend; but since that accident he. has never had the old-time punch to i his fling, and to-day his knowledge of , the game is his chief asset. He knows that, and he can teach it. PLAYERS MEET IN CHECKER TOURNEY FINALS TO-DAY A PICTURESQUE scene greeted th* visitors. The union men were in the uniforms they had worn in thy Labor Day parade. All of Chicago’s noted sportsmen were on hand. Old Ed Corrigan walked about the plant of which he was once master much like a ghost !«• supposed to walk about the scenes of his triumphs. The gamblers were busy early and late. Half a dozen bnnk crap games were running. There were a dozen kinds of swindles going. The old armv game was being played in four or five different bird cages. Before the day had gone far. !n walked the Sheriff, and the game* mysteriou*- 1 -- vanished. But the race? were run and the brew flowed freely. The fights were to be held In the oid betting shed, and right after the last race the shed was packed. The star bout was a ten-round go between Cyclone Johnnv Thompson, then a lightweight, and Eddie Tancel, a nrettv husky boy of the division. There were two preliminaries. On account of the presence of the Sheriff, the promoters were rather leery about staging the fights. Minutes passed, and then an hour. The spectators be gan to squirm. Finally two chari tably-inclined’ gents started some fun by having a fist fight all their own at the ringside. This quelled, the fighting began. The first bout was a tame wrestling affair. The second was a three-round go between two tough mug« who wanted to continue the scrapping with bare knuckles after the final gong rang. EMPIRE LEAGUE NOTES Unless President Groover rescinds hla action, Catcher Pierre, of the Valdosta team, will not play ball any more this season in the Empire. He has been sus pended for the balance of the season for an attack on Umpire Gentle in Valdosta. In Brunswick Pierre attacked Umpire McLaughlin and was fined for the job. President W. J. Clark, of the Way- cross Association, says Waycross is go ing to finish first and fight It out with Valdosta for the pennant. In view of the recent additions to the Waycross team, this may not prove idle talk. The Americus team next season will be changed a great deal, judging by comments of the nresent team. Like other teams in the league, Americus has changed managers several times This season, and there are fans who dislike each manager to such an extent that the team never suits everybody. Despite the certainty of financial loss in almost all cities or the Empire this season, every member of the league is making plans for baseball next season. The experience of the first season has cost some cities a bunch of money, and it is safe to predict that every team w’ill stay within the salary limit another year. If Jackson, Miss , and Pensacola. Fla., at-ange a post-season series, several Empire League teams will be badly crippled If players of those teams have to report for the series. Thomasville and Valdosta will suffer, as each team has strong men from the Cotton States teams that want to have some more baseball. The end of this week should see a decided change in the standing of teams in the league. Thomasville has six hard games, three with Cordele and three with Waycross. Some battles worth see ing will go down in baseball history be fore the week-end, mark the prediction. Jack Hawkins, who played ball around Atlunta for some? time, and started the Elm pi re season as a Brunswick player, is now in left field for Valdosta. He came back to the Empire from the Cot ton States League, where he batted over o and fielded in jam-up style. Brew ster, another Cotton States player, is on third for Valdosta, succeeding Nance. While fans in Waycross regretted the release of “Goat” Holliday, the sensa tional first baseman, they are delighted at the way Jones is playing the bug Jones came from Virginia to play with Brunswick, hut was not good enough for the Pilots. He made good in Waycross with a rush und fields as well as lloli- liday. Franks has been signed as an out fielder for Brunswick. He was a member of the Valdosta team and Is considered one of the best in the league. IIV had a row of some kind with Jordan and his release followed. Lately there has been a revival of th rumor that Albany will become a mem ber of the Elm pi re circuit. It is said that Albany and Americus Hke nothing bet ter than a scrap on the ball field, and, if for no other reason, Albany would he glad to get into the Empire. Harry Glenn Saucer Favorite +•+ +• + + • + *•+ *'• • *r 25-Mile Grind Friday Night H ARRY GLENN is the most pop ular rider at Jack Prince’s Mo tordrome these days. The won derful Improvement the local lad has made in the last few weeks has earn ed him the plaudits of every “bug.” Last night Harry was at his best, and as a result he was given a big hand every time he showed up. Harry won another match race, this time leading Billy Shields home in two straight heats of two miles each. And Harry made a wonderful showing In the ten-mile race also. Although he finished third, he would surely have copped first honors had the finish line been 25 yards farther off. Harry took the pace most of the way. But he rode a heady race and figured to come through in the final sprint. On the last lap ho gave his “boat” a shot of “ollzum” and drew up on Renel and Richards fast and sure, but he started his spurt Just about one second too late. The fin - . ish was Renel, first; Richards, sec ond; Glenn, third. A blanket would have covered the entire trio at the finish, however. The next race meet will be F'rlday r.Ight, a 25-mile event, with ten starters, being the feature. Following is the summary of the races held last night. Motordrome Purse.

SAVANNAH CLUB RECALLS REILLY FROM AMERICUS Pitcher Vanderlip, who played with time this season, is Waycross for some time this season, is now playing with a semi-professional team in his home city, Brooklyn. Sha- mus O'Brien, known as “Mickey,” is signed with the Baltimore team for the remainder of the season, having been turned loose by Waycross. Because of the recent talk of a post season series between the pennant win ners of the Southern and the South At lantic, the talk of a series between the Empire and Sally pennant winners has died down lately. However, it is prob able the games will be played. When Nance and Leinlnger. both third basemen, were released by Valdosta, two clever men were cut loose. Nance succeeded Eelningcr, only to go for Brewster, of the Cotton States. Of all the youngsters picked up by Empire League teams this season none has developed as rapidly as Anderson, a Georgia boy, now playing third base for Waycross. He has played at short and in the field, and, with another year’s experience, win undoubtedly go up. He is fast on the bases and selduin fir • ails to swipe a base if he gets on. Pitcher Day. of the Thomasville team, has been given another name. Hand some has given away to Steady. He has won ho many close games that fans take his victories as a matter of fact. Red Stiles, of the Thomasville team, is probably the champion hard luck pitcher of the league. In one game he gave up but two bits and then lost, the hits gotten by his teammates failing to come in bunches. According to the dope furnished by each member of the Empire six teams are going to finish first when the season ends August 27. If the teams don’t quit getting bunched around first place it may be necessary to play off a tie for first place. Maybe such u game would not be interesting? Of all the dope floating around in the He has made a success as coach for the Alabama Presbyterian College here, and has played good ball in the South- | eastern and Georgia-Alabama despite i his handicap. An operation last year i failed to restore his arm to its old- , time form, and for two seasons he has , known that he was passing. | He is one of the many veterans who In the play which began here yester day for the championship of the South ern Checker Association the following qualified for the final round to be played to-day: G. C. Anderson, North Caro lina; IT. W. E:vana, J. S. Hall, J. H. Bishop. C. M. E'arrar, Georgia; S. S. Hallman, B. Fishburne. South Carolina, and J. M. Allen, Jr., Knoxville, Tenn., the holder of the championship since 1911. Allen lost three of his first four games and in order to qualify for the finals dad to make perfect scores against his last five opponents. THE last preliminary was between * Danny Goodman and an un known kid introduced as Charley White. Yank Kenny refereed. Good man then was a veteran, and a mighty hard man to beat. He was a corking good ring general, and knew about all there Is to know of boxing. White was pounds lighter, though Goodman weighed no more than 125 pounds. Goodman was all confidence White was all earnestness It was hi« first ring engagement against so seasoned a warrior In the first round Goodman danced around him. work ing in and out. and landing Hghtlv pretty much as he wished. But. he was not hurting White, and everv now and then the novice flashed a Enless the dope slips, one of the new men to appear in the Empire this month will startle the fans by his work. Re cently the player In question got six hits out of seven times up in an extra in ning game, three home runs and three three-nase hits being the best he could do. On the bases he is said to resemblo Ty Cobb. Empire there is but one settled fact whichever team wins th** second half of the season will have to play some base ball to nose Valdosta out of the rag. It is possible Valdosta will win the second season, too—but hardly probable the waj .• team Is playing Just now. SAVANNAH. GA., Aug. 6.—By exercising optional rights, the Sa- I vannah Baseball Association has recalled Infielder Reilly, of the Americus club in the Empire State League, to relieve Zimmerman at sec- I ond base. Owing to the terrible slump with which Zimmerman has been suf- | fering, both In fielding and in bat ting, because of 111 health, he has been suspended from the Indian crew temporarily. If Reilly, who was with Savannah during the early part of the season, make? good, Zimmerman will not he plaved again this season. Reilly reported for duty upon the return of the Lipemen from Albany, j Ho Is easily the best player in the Empire League^ He has batted at n . steady clip of never less than .355 all season; has played at second, short, | third baeo and in the outfield, and has taken care of each of these sev eral Jobs w’ith success.
