TOP EASILY
Ryan Beat Joe Goss When Joe
Was Hardly Able to Hold
Up His Hands.
RYAN AND SULLIVAN MEET
Circumstances Sometimes Force
Championship on a
Boxer. .
By Otto C. Floto.
T HE days when names minus abil
ity cut a figure in the prize ring
have passed. Time was when
reputations were built upon mediocre
performances, when clever boosting
and shrewd manipulation did thereat.
Once a great reputation had be**n
earned it was easy work to gather the
kale from the idol-worshiping public.
Some may doubt the accuracy of the‘»e
statements, but I can recall where a
certain fighter earned the title of
heavyweight champion of the world
and yet he never could fight. Any of
our welterweights of the present could
have beaten him. But In some mys
terious manner he managed to get
on top, and once there he remained
In the position In which fate had
placed him and lived on his reputa
tion. I mean Paddy Ryan.
Ryan Beats Jo« Goss.
Ryan managed to beat old Joce Goss
when the latter could hardly hold his
hands up. The match wup made
through Richard K. Fox. who really
believed Ryar. a great fighter; In fact.
<t was Fox who furnished the $10,000
for Paddy when the latter fought
John L. at Mississippi City in 18R2.
After defeating Goss. Ryan was a
great attraction, and all who dared
challenge him were hooted. In fact,
when Parson Davies, who had se
cured backing for Sullivan from Mike
McDonald In Chicago, tfent to New
York to deposit the money the crowd
became so angry at Sullivan for his
preemption in challenging the cham
pion that both John L. and Davies
had to make their exit by the rear
door of The Police Gazette office.
Sullivan Wins Easily.
Of course, when Ryan and Sullivan
met the latter won so easily that It
was a Joke, and Ryan was for all time
exposed as to his class Then, when
they were to battle again In Frisco.
Ryan got as far as Ogden and "took
it on the run" back to Chicago. He
wan finally induced to try again, and
Sullivan knocked him out as easily
as he did on the first occasion. Be
tween times, however. Ryan was
matched to meet Frank Glover on
a boat near Chicago. Of course, the
police prevented the meeting, and
whispers told us that "friends of
Paddy’s had seen the chief."
Pleasant Manner Won Following.
Personally, Ryan was one of the
finest men you could meet and it was
his pleasant manner that enabled him
to be numbered among the great
fighters and not his ability «» a
pugilist that ranked him there. It
would be almost Impossible to build
up one of those "hothouse" cham
pions at the present age. The dear
public that has been buffeted about
and handed the hot end of so many
propositions has tecome "wised" and
knows as much about the fight game
as those who follow it for a liveli
hood. Consequently, no attempts are
made to pass the papier mache cham
pion as the bona fide article any
more.

By O. B. Keeler.
O SfE thing Reems to be pretty well
established by yesterday's ter
rific, If Indecisive, struggle.
The Tabasco Kid is going to whip
us out of a pennant If he can.
The T. K has no chance to win
a pennant himself, this year But
all the animosity and all the rivalry
existing between the Atlanta and
Chattanooga ball clubs is right at the
top now.
And this crool war Is going to be
crool. for fair.
• • •
T HERE was the sixth Inning of yes
terday’s game.
The Lookouts caught Conzelman
wobbling and tied up the count.
Howell, pitching for the visitors, was
fcolng fairly well. Darkness was gath
ering.
Out went Mr. Howell. In went Mr
Street. Joe wobbled some more and
Gabby was winged, dancing on first,
his yells of encouragement reaching
to heaven.
Bloole! That was the miserable
Walsh, and the Lookouts were one up.
Bloole! That was the recent edition
of E. Flick. And the bases were full.
Bloof! That was the wretched
Coyle, blowing up a foul for Joe
Dunn.
• • •
A ND now' look w'ho’s here!
The Kid had several other
hurlers he could have Inserted to hold
that single run lead.
But no. Out wanders the giant
Pole.
The crowd lifts up its voice and
weeps, or words to that effect. It Is
evident that the Kid wants that game,
and wants It blamed bad. Wants It
cinched. In fact.
• • •
B UT the Crackers' backs are up.
and furious at that slender lead
wrenched from under their eye-teeth,
no ordinary Pole—not even the well-
known Thaddeus of Warsaw—Is
going to make them He down, roll over
and play dead.
Tommy Long waits the Mg fork-
hand*»r out; makes Mm be good, and
hooka one Just Inside third for two
bases. Welchonce slashes a bounder
toward second that Flick knocks down
in a great play. Wally Smith cuts
one on the off-side of Mr. Flick, and
he performs another dive while the
author of the double rode home.
Score tied.
• • •
A ND now', friends, you’ll Just have to
come through and hand It to that
to-headed expatriate.
Maybe the old soup-bone was
chilled when he went in. Maybe the
wet pill bothered him Maybe what
ever vou please. But right here, with
nobody down, and Crackers on third
and first. Mr. Ccveleskle gave a sin
cere Imitation of an actual pitcher
Blsland was next, and the Pole
whiffed him The Infield was close
on the grass, and Wally Smith was
permitted to swipe second. One hit
would settle it. But Holland’s swing
faded Into a feeble bounder to Walsh
and Welchonce was out at the plate.
Then Calvo. the Cuban, hit to Flick
and the inning was over.
Just hand something to the Pole.
He looked like the goods Just then.
And the Tabasco Kid? Well, he
skinned over his hand and he led
trumps. And if he didn’t win. he
didn't lose.
• • •
O F course, a double-header was
arranged for the home-coming
of the Crackers, and a whale of a
crowd was about to be on hand, and
the Royal Rooters were there, and all.
So the bottom fell out. And one
abbreviated game had the very dick
ens of a time getting Itself played to
a draw.
At that, there were 2.R00 of the
faithful there, plus the R. R. Club,
with megaphones And In the damn
and dniarv interval betwixt 2; 15 and
4; 10 o’clock, there was a cxop-wlvs
(
deluge to watch, and (this was only
rumor) a flock of snipe In the
swamp In left field; and, later. Billy
Smith with a broom, sweeping tha
flood heroically off his ball park.
That alone was worth the price of
admission.

J ACINTO CALVO Is the entire name
of the debutante, and he looks as
If he might reflect honor on his na
tive Cuba Libre, or clear Havana, or
whatever It is. He is a Mnall, spright
ly gentleman with a pleasing smile,
a powerful left wing, and a bewilder
ing habit of flopping his arms w'hlle
preparing for a dash to second.
Also, Jack appears to possess the
small and expressive word Indicating
viscera.
In the sixth inning the new hand
came up and fouled off a fast one that
shot hot off the bat into his right eye.
The youngster was stunned and
blinded, but he didn’t flop on the
ground or stall. He sluiced the dam
aged optic with some ice w'ater. col
lected his bat from an admiring small
boy, and singled viciously over second.
• • •
THOMAS JEFFERSON LONG was
* the batting hero. In four times
up he got two bases on balls and two
hits, one of them the only extra-baser
of the melee. Welchonce batted only
.600 In the fracas, and Harry Holland
fell down to .333, which is a very
lowly mark, in the light of his recent
doings.

J OE CONZELMAN began to hate
himself after he got h b. p. b. in
the fifth. He tried to go all the way
to third on Agler's single through
Walsh, which Kid Elberfeld-ed to
Graff In time to nip Joe by about
fourteen yards.
• • •
T HE Lookouts’ first run was a gift.
Bases full and two down in the
sixth, Coyle hit sharply to Holland.
The runner from second was past
Harry, so his logical plgy was at
second. But Smith was a bit slow
In covering, and Harry, trying to
check his throw, cut loose & peg into
the dirt for one run
• • •
T F there is any way to charge a
1 catcher wrlth a balk, Joe Dunn
ought to have It. With a Lookout
on second. Joe started a peg designed
to nip him off. Nobody was cover
ing, and Joe squeezed the pill, but
not tightly enough. It slipped out
of Joe’s ample fist and rolled nearly
to third, wrlth Joe In close pursuit.
Nobody advanced, so we suppose it
is impossible to mark a balk against
him.
O. YOU AUGUST!
How sweet are the August days,
With the Macks and McGrows
ahead,
And the other teams are hut faded
dreams
And their hopes of a flag are dead.
How sweet are the August days
As the end of the fight draws near,
And the managers say, as they draw
their pay,
44 Look out for the team next year l**
Aside from chess there Is only one
pastime that thrills us more than to
watch two ball teams dragging out their
salary after the fight Is over. The said
pastime Is rogue.
In America the keynote of sport Is to
win. In England—well, they cawn't do
It, don’t you know.
It is estimated by geographers that
the trip of the Sox and Giants around
the world will consume more time than
It takes Joe Dunn to hike around the
bases.
Speaking of baseball and English,
what language do the umpires speak
when they announce the batteries?
TO THE CLUBHOUSE.
John, John, old Evers’ *on,
Bawled the timps and away he run.
Cy Pleh Is now a member of the
Yanks. Not that It makes any differ
ence In the pennant race, but It shows
that Hugh Jennings Is loafing on the
Job.
While we aro on the subject of names
we might say’ without fear of successful
contradiction that Oscar Gutter is not
an inappropriate name for a fight man
ager.
The report that Mr. Whitney Is try
ing to dispose °f his American racing
stable reveals the fact that in spite of
his wealth, Mr. Whitney is no rummy.
It Is said that Marquard and McLean
form the tallest battery In baseball. It
might be said that they form the nut
tiest battery In baseball, but, consid
ering their oollectlve size, we refuse to
•ay It.
The report that Jack Prince’s Los
Angeles motordrome was destroyed by
fire falls to move tie to tears. But It
might If we were an undertaker.

Good Card at Saucer To-night
DENT AND PRICE THE
PITCHERS FOR TO-DAY
The Crackers will make another
attempt this afternoon to play two
g;*mes with their pet enemies, the
Lookouts, and that will leave only
two games to be played to-morrow,
by way of cleaning up the series.
Only one more engagement with
Chattanooga remains for the local
club after the present series—Sep
tember 6, when the season ends.
Manager Smith said this morning
that Gilbert Price and Elliott Dent
would work this afternoon, opposed,
to the best of Manager Elberfeld’s
information, by Harry Coveleskle and
Rudy Sommers. But the Peppery
Kid never is certaJn of hla selection
until the umpire announces It.
The manager said Harry Chap
man's wrenched ankle would keep
him out of the game until Monday,
at the earliest.
Speaking of football, th© real victims
of that vicious game are the •crlbe*
who are forced to learn the new rule*
under pain of being amputated from the
pay roll.
SMOKY JOE.
Gone are the days when his arm was
up to snuff;
Gone are games when he showed
his oldtime stuff.
Gone are the days, the days of long
ago,
When lied Sox rooters up and yelled
for Smokey Joe.
I T’S a great night for “13" at the
Motordrome; r T3" meets have
been postponed, and to-night Is
the “13th" meet to be held, barring,
of course, that Jack Prince’s old side-
kick, J. Pluv, doesn’t kick in with
some of his wet assortment.
The feature event to-night will be
a three-cornered match race of three
heats between Morty Graves, Harry
Swartz and George Lockner. These
lads have their machines tuned up
top speed right now and it wouldn’t
be surprising If Kid Record was given
an awful kick in the ribs.
The first heat of the match race
will be one mile, the second two
miles, and the third three miles.
• • •
"THE Motordrome Purse is the open-
* lng event of the card. There will
be tw'o trial heats of one mile and
a final of two miles. The first and
second men ir. each heat will qualify.
In the first heat the starters will
be Swartz, Graves, Richards and
Glenn. In the other, Lewis. Luther.
Renel and Lockner will fight it out.
And then there is a classy affair
scheduled, the Veledrome de Buffalo
Sweepstakes. We will leave it to the
kind reader to figure out for himself
what all that name means.
• * *
OUT said race Is to be run In
three heats of three, five and
seven miles. It is to be scored on a
point system of ten points for a first,
six for a second and three for a
third.
Altogether, this card sizes up as the
best ever staged at the Saucer.
Morty Graves’ eye, which was
bunged up by a flying piece of metal
Tuesday night, is O. K. now and he
promises to have his new 8-cylinder
machine tearing up the track.
Following Is the complete program:
MOTORDROME PURSE.
(One Mile to Qualify; Two-mile
Final, Two Men in Each Heat to
Qualify for Final.)
