(Star Southpaw of the Champion

Record for Consecutive Vic
tories at Nineteen Straight.)
CINCINNATI, Aug. 9.—Our second
Webern trip did not prove so suc
cessful as did the first. The Phillies
gained some ground on us. But I do
not think our pennant chances have
been materially damaged. Indeed, our
team has done remarkably well on the
road, and but for the unusual spurt
of the Quakers no one would be at
all anxious over the fact that the
race has tightened a bit.
Pittsburg jolted us in a manner I
did not expect. But then the Pirates
did no better than two out of three;
and goodness knows, it was about
time they won a series from us at
Forbes Field. It has * been long
'enough coming to be excused, and did
not wipe out the rough treatment we
handed Clarke’s men on their las»t call
at the Polo Grounds.
As a usual thing, our club trims
the Pirates' in Smoke Town, while
the Buccanneers. in turn, make life
miserable for us at home. If these
conditions have been reversed it
makes practically no difference.
I was pretty sore when that Smoke
Town gang handed me a drubbing on
Tuesday. It broke a string of ten
straight victories. I didn’t care to
Lupus Worst Form
of Skin Diseases
Here is a Home Treatment
that Overcomes even
Worst Cases.
Lupus or Any Other Skin Disease Will
Go Skulking Away If You
Use S. S. S.
A tiny pimple spreads to the side of
the face and often covers the cheeks
and bridge of the nose. It is very de
structive to the tissues of the skin. No
external treatments will overcome It.
as the cause of lupus Is from impurities
in the blood supply. The only known
method of cure is to get the blood sup
ply under the control of S. S. S., the
famous blood specific. Its action is quite
remarkable and has direct Influence up
on the network of small blood vessels
and glands ir. the skin.
Not one drop of minerals or drugs is
used in its preparation. Ask for S. S S.
and insist upon having it. For illus

zealous clerk to larrup ire atmosphere
In eloquence over so i g "just as
good" aa S. wi ail ouLr
attempt to better my championship
performance of a year ago. That in
volves too much strain. Yet I should
have liked very much to beat the
eleven straight of young Boehling,
my illustrious contemporary of the
American League.
Within Game of Record.
I was somewhat piqued because of
the fact that I was within one game
of his mark. Only the fact that he
was a southpaw and a recruit aroused
my ambition to go out for a season’3
record. One day cured all my dis
appointment and made me look upon
my reverse in a philosophical man
ner.
I was much more disappointed
when Matty lost out on Wednesday.
We had ill been pulling for the
“grand old master" to maintain his
wonderful performance when it be
came apparent that he had a chance
for a record of straight wins. He
had rung up seven straight before he
fell a victim to the Pirates.
Now, 1 think that these reverses
will do us both a lot of good. Neither
of us had been under any strain and
we should come back stronger than
ever. It was simply a case of Pitts
burg catching us when, by all law
of percentage, we were overdue to
lose.
I have learned from bitter expe
rience that record making is no good
thing for a pitcher who happens to
be a main dependency of a box corps.
The reaction from the first defeat un
settles him for a long time.
Phillies Hang On Grimly.
We have not won the pennant yet,
but Philadelphia will have the mer
riest time of i v ts life catching us. To
my mind, the only chance of the
Quakers is for them to clean up the
games remaining with us. Such a
possibility, in the light of what we
have done to Dooin’s men to date,
seems far-fetched. Philadelphia has
played great ball lately and hung on
grimly to us. But. sooner or later,
the slump mu$»t hit them.
We haven’t had exactly what you
might call a slump on this trip, but
we have had our share of the bad
breaks. Larry Doyle has been out of
commission most of the time, while
Chief Meyers is in New York with a
lacerated thumb. This pair has al
ways been of inestimable strength to
our team, both offensively and defen
sively. I think that we have done
very well in the West considering
their absence from the line-up.
I have never seen a man who was
so set upon winning a pennant and a
world’s champioship as Is McGraw
this seaj»on. Our manager wishes to
take a real club around the world with
the White Sox. McGraw I* continu
ally drilling into us the importance
of fighting every game to the last
ditch. He is not worrying over the
Quakers, but he is trying to impress
upon all of us the importance of
never for a moment letting up in our
work.
And I think he has all of us pulling
together as harmoniously as anv rluB
in the history of baseball. Every
man on the clan is do’ng hi-- lev* 1 ,
best—more. 1 believe, to please the
boss than for the financial consic 1 - ra
tion of October’s classic.
Need of Backstop.
has been reflected in the trade he
negotiated jus«t before he left Pitts
burg for this city. He traded Otis
Crandall for Larry McLean. With
Meyers out of commission McGraw
realized that the hitting strength of
his club would be affected. McLean
is a finished backstop and a very fine
sticker. Crandall, one of the grandest
fellows who ever drew breath, had
been of great service in former years
as a relief twirler and pinch hitter.
But McGraw was* well provided
with pitching talent that could go the
route. He strengthened the club by
the trade. We wer& all very sorry to
bid good-bye to Otis. He was a grand
influence. Many a time his pleasing
personality has helped to chase the
blues from camp when we happened
to meet with some unexpected mis
fortune.
I have said, in a previous article,
that our pitching staff is the bent in
the major leagues. With the acquisi
tion of Larry McLean I will back our
catching department against any
other.
Heretofore, the class was naturally i
ascribed to the Cubs in Archer and
Bresnahan. With the best pitchers
and two of the four greatest catchers
in the game. I think fandom will
agree that New York will boast the
greatest battery strength in its com
pany.
Upon the battery strength I con
fidently rely. I think it will prove an
insurmountable obstacle to Philadel
phia’s pennant hopes.

F RANK WHITNEY Is hot under
the collar. Frank holds a per
sonal grudge against Nate
Lewis, manager of Charley White, and
says he will get his revenge when he
meets White at the Auditorium-
Armory Wednesday night.
Several clays ago Whitney was in
Chicago. Nate Lewis and White were
also in the Windy City. Last Wednes
day afternoon Lewie and White took
a trip to Whitney’s training quarters
to see the latter in action. They had
the opportunity. Frank donned the
mitts with Packey McFarland for
three rounds and the air was full of
flying gloves. ^ ^
A LARGE crowd witnessed the af
fair and, when it was over, an
argument at once took place between
the White and Whitney factions.
Frank is also a great favorite in Chi
cago Just as Whitney was about to
leave the gymnasium he encountered
Note Lewis. One word followed the
other, and before many minutes had
passed. Wlillnev told Lewis to get
White and he would light him then
and there.
The wrangle started when Lewis
told Whitney that he had better get
into shape for Charley or he would
follow the path of Joe Thomas and
Jake Abel. Evidently Lewis was try
ing to get Frank’s goat. Whitney
was not in love with this line of talk
and it did not take him long to get
heated up.
• • •
<< x—» o get vour champion and I’ll fight
vjr him right here," flashed Frank
when Lewis told him to get a repu
tation "That’s a go," retorted Lewis,
who started after White. Cooler heads,
however, prevailed and Lewis let
Whttnev go on his way.
This information did not come from
Frank flrst-handed. True. Frank ad
mitted to the quarrel after a bit of
sharp questioning. A personal friend
of White wrote us yesterday telling
of the encounter between the pair.
• • •
*<1 M sick of hearing these people
• saving that White will stop me,"
Fiatd Frank yesterday after he fin
ished boxing three rounds at the At
lanta Athletic Club. ’’In the first
place. I have never been stopped In
my fighting career and am ready to

THE VICTOR”
MASONIC CONVENTION.
AG WORTH.—The annual meeting
of the Cobh County Masonic Con
vention was held at Powder Spring*
and fully 2.000 N persons were in at
tendance. Among the speakers wen
Thomas H, Jefferies, past grand mar
Ur of Georgia; N. H. Ballard, dep-
bet my end of the purse that White
doesn’t floor me. This fellow might be
a wonder, but, believe me. he isn’t
stopping Frank Whitney. And be
sides, don’t be surprised if Referee
Castro lifts my hand at the end of
the tenth round.
“P'rank Whitney is going into to
morrow's fight ready to do or die. This
Lewis fellow has gone far enough
with me and I look for him to be a
pretty sad-eyed fellow after the fifth
round. I have watched White fight
and know his style. On the other
hand, he has never seen me in action.
This talk of mine may seem like
boasting, but nevertheless I mean
every word of it. Anyway, those
who think White Is going to heat
Whitney kindly be at the Auditorium
and they will get the surprise of their
life.”
• • •
THE above quarrel between White
A and Lewis means tha: the two
boys are to clasih in a grudge affair.
Lewis will send White after P'rank
from the gong, and Whitney has never
backed up for an opponent in an At
lanta ring. Will he do it to-morrow
night? This is the question puzzling
fight fans around these parts.
White and Lewis will be here to
day. Gharley has finished training
and will step in the ring in the pink
of condition. Those who have seen
Whitney will tell you that P'rank was
never better in his life. Therefore,
neither bov will have an excuse to
offer if defeated.,
• • •
around town are going wild
1 over the fight. On nearly every
street corner the name White and
Whitney can he heard. Many of them
are for White and others for Frank.
Tickets for the fight are going fast
and a banner house should attend
the affair. The pasteboards can be
purchased at Shepherd’s Segar Store,
Pryor and Edgewood, and at The Rex.
Detroit Gets Williams,
Vols’ Star Southpaw
NASHVILLE. TENN.. Aug. 12.—

troit to close a deal Involving Pitcher
Claude Williams, the sensational young

gers have offered $3,500. Williams will

the three leading southpaws in the
Southern League, options on Coveleskie
and Cavet having already been secured
by that club.
Announcement was also made of the
recall of Pitcher Sam Hendee, from the
Cairo Club of the Kitty League, and of

the same league, In an effort to
