P. Wilcox. The price was reported as $12,800. The transfer of ownership took place at once. This is taken to mean that Mont gomery will remain indefinitely in the Southern League. The new owners are popular here, and it also is ex pected that there will be a consider able revival of interest among local fans. Baseball Summary SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Thursday.

Obstinate Acne Quickly Yields ine Remedy That Clears Skin of Pimples on Cheeks, Temples, Sides of Nose and Chin. Acne attacks the glandular struc ture .if the skin, more particularly those tiny glands that secrete fat. And it is here that S. S. R.. the famous Dlood puriner, is most active in its influence. There is one ingredient in R. R. S. the purpose of which it is to stimu late the cells in the tissues that thus select from the blood the nutriment that makes new skin and thus elimi nates all irritants, acids and para sites that inflame the glands. There is a natural tendency of the fine network of blood vessels in the skin to throw off impurities, hut where a persistent inflammatory process has invaded the skin, the natural re pair work of the blood is Interfered with. It requires the stimulating activity of R. R. S. to overcome such morbid conditions. If you have been troubled with acne, do not despair of a cure. You can get R. R. R. in any drug store, but insist upon having it. The great Swift Laboratory in Atlanta. Ga., prepares this famous blood purifier, and you should take no chance by permitting anyone to rec ommend a substitute. And if your blood condition is such that you would like to consult a specialist freely, address the Medical Dept., The Rwiff Specific Company, 181 Swift Bldg.. Atlanta. Ga. Even Break With the Lookouts +•4. +•4- + • + Giants and Sox May Play Here By O. B. Keeler. O NE more vindication of the the ory that the conventional man ner of prorating a double- header is for each side to take one. It was largely a matter of pitchers. In the first game Joe Conzelman wasn’t quite so good as Floyd Kroh, and In the aftermath, Gilbert Price plus Elliott Dent, had a thin eldge on Howell and Coveleskie. The fact that the tall Pole was sum moned again from the lumber yard testifies to the gentle affection for the Crackers that abounds in the shadow of Lookout Mountain. The Tabasco Kid was doing his durndest to beat us all two of the games. And quite properly. Let’s trim ’em fighting, or get trimmed the same way. That’s what makes baseball worth while. * * * W E are going to have some distin guished company In a few days. Ted Sullivan, one-time Southern Leaguer and now managing director of the Giants-White Sox world tour, is in New Orleans to-day arranging a lease on the Pelicans’ ball park for an exhibition game late in October. Mr. Sullivan expects to visit Bir mingham and Mobile on a similar mission. And then he is coming to Atlanta. Would Atlanta fans care to watch the White Sox and the Giants play hall? We pause for no answer. * * * M AJOR CALLAWAY, home again from Chattanooga, says ne hasn't heard anything about the proposed visitation, but doesn't see anything in the way of pulling it off. The president of the Crackers fancies there should be no trouble in arranging to let the big leaguers have Ponce DeLeon Park as a battle ground. . . And he is of the opinion that :t would be some considerable drawing card. t * » TT is rumored that Jud Daley, left i fielder for the Vols, may wear an Atlanta uniform soon. The understanding hereabout is indefinite, and Bill Smith probably will make the decision while ip Nashville on the series beginning to-day. Daley is a good ball player and is very popular in Atlanta, but it ap pears unlikely that the Atlanta club will take him on if anything sub stantial has to be paid for him. If it comes about that Judson is available for his stipend alone, he may hut into the present series against his old friends. * * * H ERE'S one we lamp from up Syra cuse-way, in the New York State I League: I An umpire named Harrison had a tumultuous run-in with a ball player working under the entire misnomer of Good. Good had tried to- steal third and was tagged when about fifteen feet off the hag. True to his reputation. Good let out an awful yelp and tfie fans an swered the call of the wild. “You’re out of the game!” the um pire ordered. Good declined to s»ee it that way. “Get out of the lot,” was the next command. Good stayed where he was as if he had taken root. Harrison called a Ifig cop, standing in the crowd near the bleachers. “Take that man off the field,” he directed. The cop shook his head. “Nope,” he said firmly. Harrison was outraged. “Y o u won’t?” he roared, “And why not?” “He wasn’t out,” said the cop. And he stuck to it. * * * NCE more is the eternal and Emersonian law of compensa tion glutted with justification. For weeks the sport columns have echoed with the piteous roars of F. Chance, sometime Peerless Leader. It seems Mr, Chance swapped Hal Chase for Zeider and Burton, of the White Sox, with the idea that Rollie was sound in wind and limb and his side kick able to swing on the pill like a garden gate. We gather from tlie twittering that Mr. Zeider was afflicted with a bun ion and had to d<» his running on one side, while Mr. Burton’s batting re sembled the performance of the old est Inhabitant of the Soldiers’ Home killing flies with a newspaper. So. But now comes Mr. Callahan, who lately paid $18,500 in Comiskey coin and White Sox players for Larry Chappelle. “He’s got a warped knee and a kink In his hip,” walls Jimmy, “and he had ’em when I got him!” Mr. Chance should lie awake nights and grieve. Great Tribute Paid Hal Chase by Harry Lord, of White Sox WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. — Harry Lord, the White Sox captain, discuss ing first basemen to-day. paid a great tribute to Hal Chase. Here is what the third baseman of the White Sox has to say about the former Yankee player: “Chase will save any inflelder thirty errors in a season If the pair would work together through the year. Look what Chase did for me in the one game at St. Louis. I would have had two black marks to my discredit on that day. The papers would have said Lord's errors were responsible for the White Sox losing to the Browns 6 to 3, or something like that. With Phase over there we don’t have to worry. We can field the ball, shut our eyes, and make a throw, and he will get it some way or other.” Sports and Such PLAIN NUTTY. He’d seen upon the sport page The way that Ty Cobb collars, And all the other dope that deals With betting odds and dollars; With gate receipts, percentages, Expenses, kicks and hollers. And then he put a question: His friends were filled with gloom. With sorrow did they east him Into a padded room. He’d asked : “Is there a sport guy Not out for the mazumef” • * • HAVING DEMONSTRATED TO our entire satisfaction that the Pacific coast players do not play tennis properly, the Eastern experts now have nothing to do but dig up some one to beat them. Still it seems a man’s size assignment. * * * BOTH GUNBOAT SMITH and Jim Flynrl announce that they are training earnestly for their coming spear-running, but both omit to say why. * * • THE FIGHT PROMOTERS in Montana are breaking the law again. The Legislature having au thorized fights the promoters put on Jimmy Clabby and Freddy Hicks. • • • YALE HAS NOT decided on her rowing system for next year.

NO CHANCE FOR LAJOIE TO LEAVE NAPS, SAYS BARNARD CLEVELAND. OHIO, Aug. 7.—An ab solute denial of the rumor that Chicago, Boston and Cleveland teams are arrang ing a three-cornered deal which will take Second Baseman Lajoie awy from Cleveland was made to-day by K. R Barnard, vice president of the Naps. Manager Birmingham. ->f the Cleveland team, wired from Philadelphia saying he had no trade under way for Lajoie. tLLIS STARTED PLATING GOLF N JEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Ned Allis, j w no was runner-up in the West ern Golf Association at Chicago and in the sensation in the Western golf world, began to play golf when he was only five years old, taking part in a tournament that year, with his father as tutor. It was not until four or five years ago. however, that Ned began to come to the front with the older men. His first public performance of con sequence was In an invitation tourna ment held by the Milwaukee Country Club In which lie met Harold Wyatt, of Fond du Lac. The tw'o youngsters then only 17 years old, gave the fast est exhibition of match play of the entire tournament. Allis* Is a very fine putter, as may he Meen by the fact that in his match against R. A. Gardner, ex-natlonal champion. In the semi-final at Home- wood. Allis had only 27 puts for the 18 holes of the morning round. To learn how a golfer’s game may improve in a few months one has but to consult the United States Golf As sociation's handicap rating list for 1913. There Alii?* is placed among the handicap five men. Among the other* in the five list are Devereux Lord, the three-time winner of The Brook lyn Eagle trophy: B. T. Allen. Fox Hills; Chisholm Beach, Fox Hills; Sj. D. Bowers, Brooklawn: T. V. Ber- mingham. Wykagvl; James R Hvde. South Shore; Philip Carter, Nassau. Metropolitan junior champion: Max R. Marston, Baltusrol. Interscholastic champion: C. H. Seely, ex-Metropoli tan champion, and others. Allis would more likely be handicapped at 2, or 3. at least. The only time that Metropolitan District golfers have ‘«een the quality of Allis’ golf was nt Lakewood, N. J.. on April 17-19. last. Here Allis just fell outside the medal prize in the qualifying round by a single stroke, tying with Walter J. Travis, of Gar den city, % at 78. while H. K. Kerr, South Shore, got the best card with a 77. Allis lasted till the semi-final, when he was defeated by Horace C Cook, of Trenton, the youthful player from Trenton. N. J., who, in the afternoon final with Travis, held the former in ternational champion at evens till a penalty stroke at the seventeenth hole threw him off his game on the home hole, the match going to Travis by two up. On his way to the semi final Allis had beaten J. F. Shanley. the best of the Deal players. Since Allis first swung a club at the age of five, he ha* been carefully coached by his father. Louis Allis* who firmly believes that his hoy will some clay he the premier amateur golfer of the world.

TENN., A UR 7.— Love or Elliott Dent, life-saver in yesterday’s second game, will be shot at the Vols this afternoon, with Chapman back of the wood. Dent looked great in his one and one-third innings yesterday, and Love seems to have got over his slight touch of Ill ness. The Crackers got an even break in the twin bill yesterday and also on the series at Chattanooga. Jo© Con zelman lost the first game, 4 to 2, and it ought to have been a shut-out for him. Manush war in right field and misjudged two long fly halls, one of which went for a triple and the other for a home run. We had no luck at bat. Twice with the bases full and only one down, Dunn hit Into a double play. Chap man was sent in to bat for Conzelman in the ninth and whaled a home run fur over the fence, but nobody was on the towpath. In the second game we got to Grimes early and got a nice lead. Howell came on and pitched well un til he was taken out for a pinch hitter. Then we had another chance at the Big Pole, and we nicked him for two runs, wihch won the game. Price pitched well until the eighth when a savage batting rally chased him from the rubber. Elliott Dent stopped the Vole and saved the game. We play here four games, including the disputed one, which probably will be played Sunday. Harry Holland batted for a percentage of .600 yes terday. He looks better every day, and Is stinging the ball hard. All he lacks Is a little experience, and he is getting that fast.
