/ f \0tS0!$ L THE ATT,ANT A GEORGIAN AND NEWS. PADDY RYAN CLIMBED 10 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. . 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. THURSDAY’S GAME. Chattanooga, ab. r. h. po. a. e.

T .. ■—. * m 'Angora KAtV 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.
