Joe Ryan Beat Joe Goss When 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 been earned it was easy work to gather the kale from the idol - worshiping public. Some may doubt the accuracy of thene statements, but I can recall where n certain fighter earrM the title of heavyweight champion of the world and yet he never could fight. Any of out 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. Rvan managed to br-at old Joce Goss when the latter could hardly hold his hands up. The match was made through Richard t<. Fox. who really believed Ryar. a great tighter; in fact it was Fox who furnished the $1°.000 for Paddy when the latter fought John L. at Mississippi CMty in 1**2 After defeating Goss, Ryan was a great attraction, and all who dared challenge him were hooted. In fact, when Pabaoti Davies who had se cured backing for Sullivan from Mike McDonald in Chicago, went to New York to deposit the money the crowd became so angry at Sullivan for bis 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, wnen Ryan and Sullivan met the latter won so easily that it was a joke, and Ryan was for all tine? exposed as to his class. Then, when they were to battle again In Frisco. Ryan got as far ns Ogden and “took it on the run” back to Chicago. He waa finally induced to try again, and Sullivan knocked him out as easily as he did on the first occasion. Be tween times, however. Rvan was matched to meet Frank Glover on a boat near Chicago. Of course, the police prevented the meeting, and xvhi*--»pr? told us that “friends of Paddy’s had seen the chief." Pleasant Manner Won Following. P( rsnfially, Ryan wan one of the finest m**n you could meet and if was his pleasant manner that enabled him to be numbered among the great fighters and not his ability ns a pugilist that ranked him there. It would be almost Impossible to build un one of thooe "hothouse" cham pions at the present age. The dear public that has been buffeted about and handed the hot end of so many i.repositions h'S tecome "wised” nr.d knows as much about the fight game ns those who follow It for a liveli- hoc V Consequently, no attempts are made to pass the papier macho cham pion ns the bona fide article any more.

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 light ai the tOp now. And this crool war is going to b«- erool. for fair. • * • '"THERE wan the sixth Inning of yes- * terday's game. The Lookouts caught Conzelman wobbling and tied up the count. Howell, pitching for the visitors, was 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. Blooie! That wan the miserable Walsh, and the Lookouts were one up. piooi«! That was the recent edition of F. Flick. And the bases were full. Floof! That was the wretched Coyle, blowing up a foul for Joe Dunn. • • • A \'D now look who’s here! ** The Kid had several other hurlers he could have Inserted to holl 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 i- evident that the Kid wants that game, and wants it blamed bad. Wants !t cinched, In fact. • • » rV'T the Crackers' backs are up. ** and furious at that slender lend wrenched from under their eve-teeth, no ordinary Pole—not even the well- known Thaddons of Warsaw—Is going to make them lie down, roll over and plav dead. Tommy Long waifs the Mg fork- hand m out; makes him be good, and hooks one just Inside third for two bases. Wclrhonee slashes a bounder toward s?cond that Flick knocks down In a great play Wallv Smith cuts one on the off-sldo of Mr. Flick, and he performs another dive while the authoc of the double rode home. Score tied. • * • A N’D now friends vou'll Just have to come through and hand It to that to-headed expatriate. Mavbe the old soup-bone was chilled when he went In. Maybe the wet pill bothered him. Maybe what ever vou pleni’e But right here, with nobodv down, and Crackers on third and first. Mr. CVveleskie gave a sin cere Imitation of an actual pitcher B'sland was next, and the Bob' whiffed him. The infield was close on the grass, and Wallv Smith was permitted to swipe second. One hit would settle it But Holland’s s*wlng faded into n feeble bounder to Walsh nnd Welchonce was out at the plate. Then Calvo. the Cuban hit to Flick and the Innintr 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 lie led trumps. And If he didn't win. he didn’t lose. • • • /W v rour«»“ a double-head, r was ^ ^ arranged for the home-coming of the Crackers, and a whale of a crowd was about to be on hand, and the Roval Rooter*- were there, and all. So the bottom fell out. And one abbreviated game had the verv dick* ens of a time getting itself played to a draw. M thah there were 2 500 of the fstthfu’ tcere. plus th* R. R. Club, with mee-i ihnnec And In the dnmo spd dr^nr* wr-rval betwixt 2: If* and 4; 10 o'c'uck#t!iere was a crop-saving deluge to watch, and (this was only a rumor) .» flock of snipe in the swamp In left field; and, later. Billy Smith with a broom, sweeping the Hood heroically off hist ball park. That alone was worth the price of ad mission. * • • J ACINTO CALVO Is the entire nam° of the debutante, and he looks* as if he might reflect honor .in his na tive Cuba Libre, or clear Havana, or whatever It is. He is a .‘tmall, 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 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 Hu iced the dam aged optic with some ice water, col lected his bat from an admiring small boy, and singled viciously over second. • * * Thomas jefffrson long was 1 the baiting hero. In four times up he gM two bases on balls and two hits, one of them the only extra-baser of the melee. Welchonce batted only .500 In the fracas, and Harry Holland fell down to .333. which is a very lowly n.ark. In the light of his recent doings. • «* • TOR CONZELMAN’ began to hate .1 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. • • • THE Lookouts’ first run was a gift. 1 Bases full and two down In the sixth, Covlc hit sharply to Holland. The runner from second was past Harry, so his logical play was at second. But Smith was a bit slow in covering, and Harry, trying to check his throw, cut ioose a peg into the dirt for one run. • • • T 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, hut not tightly enough. It slipped out of Joe’s a mole 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. Three-Cornered Race Feature -I- • -I- DENT AND PRICE THE PITCHERS FOR TO-DAY The Crackers will make another attempt this afternoon to play two games 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 Oniy one more engagement with Chattanooga remains* for the local club after rtie present series—Sep tember 6. when the season ends. Manager Smith said this morning that Gilbert Price and Elliott Dent would work thM afternoon, opposed, to the best of Manager Elberfeld’s information, by Harry Coveleskie and Rudy Sommers. But the Peppery Kid never is certain of hi a selection until the umpire announces It. The manager said Harry Chap man’s wrenched ankle would keeo him out of the game until Monday, at the earliest. EAST MACON WINS. VIDA LI A, GA.. Aug. 15.—The En • Macon team easily defeated Vida, yesterday in the second game of series of three. Errors of the lo outfield lost the n, ame for The hum hovs Thp SPO»*A W MS 1(1 to 1 O. YOU AUGUST! flow street are the August days, With the Macks and McGraws ahead. And the other teams are hut faded dreams And their hopes of a flag are dead. How street arc 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 6ite, we refuse to say it. The report that Jack Prince’s Los Angeles motordrome was destroyed by fire fails to move us to tears. But it might if we were an undertaker. Speaking of football, the real victims of that vicious game ars 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 oldtime stuff. Gone are the days, the days of long ago. When Red Sox rooters up and yelled for Smokcy Joe. Good Card at Saucer To-night LAPORTE GIVES UP FRANCHISE. CHICAGO, Aug. 15.—Laporte, In ' , the best semi-professional team in Indiana, now that the Gary club h:o« surrendered its franchise, will play the Gunthers at Gunther Park )• morrow. The team has cleaned up practically every strong team in Us own State and has been forced to travel to get a strong enough oppo nent. 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 Jac k Prince’s old side- kick, J. Pluv, doesn’t kick in with some of his wet aS.**ortmePt. 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 miie, the second two miles, and the third three miles. • • • T HE Motordrome Purse is the open ing event of the card. There will be two trial heats of one mile and a final 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. • * * D 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 pointu 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.)
