Ryan Beat Joe Goss When Joe
Was Hardly Able to Hold
Up His Hands.

You’ll Notice Mutt Makes Much Larger Bets Without Money Than With
By “Bud” Fisher
Bv Otto C. Floto.
T HE day* 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 the rest.
Once a great reputation had been
earned It was easy work to gather the
kale from the Idol-worshiping public.
Some may doubt the accuracy of these
statements, but I can recall where a
certain fighter earr»d the title of
heavyweight chtumplon of the world
and yet he never could light. 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 Di which fate had
placed him and lfved on his reputa
tion. I mean Padsly Ryan.
Ryan Beats Jo* Goss.
Ryan managed to heat old Joce floss
when the latter could hardly hold his
hands up. The match was made
through Richard K. Pox. who really
believed Ryan a great fighter; In fact,
it was Fox who furnished the 110,0(10
for Paddy when the latter fought
John L. at Mississippi City In 1882.
After defeating Ooss, Ryan was a
great attraction, and all who dared
challenge him were hooted. In fact,
when Parson l>avles. who had se
cured backing for Sullivan from Mike
McDbnald In Chicago, went to New
Tork to deposit the money the crowd
became so angry at Sullivan for his
presumption in challenging the cham
pion that both John I, and Davies
had to make fhelr exit by the rear
door of The Police Gazette office.
Sullivan Wins Easily.
Of course, wnen 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" hack to Chicago. He
was finally induced to try again, and
Sullivan knocked him out as easily
as he did on the ftrst 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 as 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 hnnded the hot end of so many
propositions has become “wised" and
knows ns 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.
TINKER STILL ON JOB;
DENIES HE HAS RESIGNED
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.—Joe
Tinker denied to-day that he had re
signed as manager of the Cincinnati
Reds. According to a report. Tinker
and President Herrmann are at outs
because of the running of the team,
and the latter requested Tinker to
quit.
Tinker declares he would not resign
unless requested to do so by Herr
mann. and as the latter has made no
such request he Is still on the job and
intended to remain.
HARRY CHAPMAN OUT OF
GAME UNTIL MONDAY
Harry Chapman hurt his ankle in
sliding back into first base in the
final game in Birmingham and will
not be able to don the windpad and
the ma&k until Monday.
The entire weight of the backstop
ping in the series with the Lookouts
will fall on Joseph Dunn.

Lookouts Are Fighting Savagely

Tabasco Kid Tries Hard to Win
By 0. B. Keeler.
O ^E thing seems 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.
• • •
THERE was the sixth inning of yes-
4 terday’s game.
The Lookouts caught Conzelman
wobbling and tied up the count.
Howell, pitching for the visitors. w*ns
going 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.
• • •
\ ND now look who’s here!
F* The Kid had several other
hurlers he could have Inserted to hol l
that single run lend.
But no. Out wanders the giant
Pole.
The crowd lifts up its voice and
weeps, or words to that effect. D is
evident that the Kid wants that game,
and wants it blamed bad. Wants it
cinched, in fact.
• • »
T)HT 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 lie down, roll over
and play dead.
Tommy Long waits the big fork-
hander out; makes Him be good, and
hooks one just inside third for two
bases. Welchonce slashes a bounder
toward second that Flick knocks down
in a great play. Wallv 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 you plea^v. But right here, with
mobody. down, and Crackers on third
and first. Mr. Coveleskie gave a sin
cere imitation erf an actual pitcher.
Bisland was next, and the Pol*
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 K1d? Well, he
skinned over his hand and be led
trumps. And if he didn’t win, he
didn’t lose.
• • •
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 Rooter^ were there, and all.
So the bottom fell out. And one
abbreviated frame had the very dick
ens of a time getting itself played to
a draw.
At that, there were 2.500 of the
faithful there, plus the R R. Club,
with megaphones. And in the damp
and drearv interval betwixt 2:15 and
4:10 o'clock, there was a crop-saving
deluge to watch, and (this was only
a rumor) a flock of snipe in the
swamp in left field; and, later. Billy
Smith with a broom, sweeping the
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 small, spright
ly gentleman with a pleasing smile,
a powerful left wing, and a bewilder
ing habit of flopping his arms while
preparing for a dash to second.
Also, Jack appears to pos e «ess the
snaall 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
blindftd, but he didn't flop on the
ground or stall. He sluiced the dam
aged optic with some ice water, col
lected his bat from an admiring mnall
boy, and singled viciously over second.
* * •
T homas jeffkrson long was
the baiting 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
.BftO 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 flfth. 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.
• • •
THE 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 play was at
second. But Smith was a bit slow
1n covering, and Harry, trying to
check his throw, cut loose a peg into
the dirt for one run.
• • •
1 F there is any way to charge a
* catcher with 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, with Joe in close pursuit.
Nobody advanced, so we suppose It
is impossible to mark a balk against
him.
DENT AND PRICE THE
PITCHERS FOR TO-DAY
The Crackers will make another
attempt this afternoon to play two
gomes 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
clab 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 Coveleskie and
Rudy Sommers. But the Peppery
Kid never is cer.ain of his 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.
Sporting Food
By Qionai B. PH All*—
O. YOU AUGUST!
How sweet are the August days,
With the Macks and McGraws
ahead,
And the other teams are but 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,
“Look out for the team next year!”
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’ son.
Bawled the umps 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 are 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 of 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 collective size, we refuse to
say It.
The report that Jack Prince's Los
Angeles metordrome was destroyed by
fire falls to move us to tear*. But it
might if we were an undertaker.
Speaking of football, the real victims
of that vicious game are the scribes
who are forced to learn the new rules
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 old time stuff.
Gone are the days, the days of long*
ago,
VVAcn Red Sox rooters up and yelled
for Smokey Joe.
Three-Cornered Race Feature
•J-o-f* ^••4*
Good Card at Saucer To-night
I T’S a great night for “13” at the
Motordrome; “13” 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 as.nortment.
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 ftrst heat of the match race
will be one mile, the second two
miles, and the third three miles.
• • •
THE Motordrome Purse Is the open-
* ing event of the card. There will
be two trial heats of one mile and
a Anal of two miles. The first and
second men in 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.
* * *
r>UT 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 comnlete program:
MOTORDROME PURSE.
(One Mile to Qualify; Two-mile
Final, Two Men in Each Heat to
Qualify for Final.)
First Heat—Swartz, Graves, Rich
ards and Glenn.
