J OCK M’NEIL, the daring motor
cycle racer, who was thrown
from his machine while travel
ing at a speed of 80 miles an hour, is
still unconscious at the Grady Hos
pital. The attending physicians have
little hope for his recovery.
It was McNeil’s own carelessness
that caused his fall. He reported at
the track yesterday afternoon under
the influence of liquor, and after much
wrangling with the other riders he
insisted on taking a whirl.
He borrowed Marty Graves’ stock
machine and immediately after start
ing ascended to the white bodrds at
the top of the track. The white boards
are perpendicular and it takes a speed
of at least 80 miles an hour to hold
the machine.
The first time around his motor
broke through the boards in two
places, but McNeil refused to come
down. The next time around he rode
right into one of the holes that h“
had smashed on his fir<- f trip, and
was thrown 50 feet in the air. He
came down face first.
An ambulance was called and he
was rushed to Grady Hospital. The
extent of his injuries are:
The skin was peeled from the right
side of his face.
A glaring hole in his skull that may
affect the brain.
Right shoulder dislocated and badly
torn.
Deep gash in right thigh, just above
the hip.
Right leg broken just above the
knee.
Internal injuries, the exact nature
of which lias not been fully deter
mined.

R ealizing that society folk wii*

Chief of Police Reavers and Chief
of Defectives Lanford will both be

It la "Society Night;” at least that
is the way the program Is captioned
And It is expected that all of Atlanta’s
"400” will be on hand.
Owing to the accident to Jock Mc
Neil Into Wednesday afternoon It has
been decided to keep everybody away
from the paddock and nobody but
officials and the riders themselves
will be allowed within the sacred
portals of the danger lines.
The new machines that the riders
have secured can be speeded up to

thousands of Atlanta fans who have

*‘T AM suspicious of one man who
* posed as an intimate friend of
Jim’s prior to the tight. He bet heav
ily on Johnson and after the thing
was over he never even went to Jef
fries to speak to him. and to my
knowledge has never seen Jim since.
“This fellow used to coax Jeffries
away from the Monoa Springs train
ing camp to go fishing. For hours
he would keep Jim standing knee
deep in the mountain streams and
cause him to neglect his training.
”1 believe that Jeffries was the vic
tim of a widespread plot. The man
never had a chance. He was whipped
before he could put up his hands.
This was one of the worst blows ever
dealt the boxing game and T would
pay a good sum out of my own pock
et to see the mystery cleared up.”

BOBBY GILKS, CLEVELAND
SCOUT, IS IN ATLANTA
ANOTHER interesting event will be

mnv is one of the fastest at the track.

thred. The winner will have to cap
ture two heats. Th. first heat will
be one mile, the second two miles,
and if necessary, there will be a third
heat of three miles.
TOM JONES, manager for Ad Wol-
* gast ami Jess Willard, is an
other who believes that Jeffries was
"doped.”
“Jeffries was drugged. There is no
other way to account for his reeling
about in the ring before the contest.”
says Jones. “Jeffries doesn’t care
much about the matter now, but his
friends would like to see the thing
explained.”
THE OLD RELIABLE
We have with us this week, or part
of it, one Bobby Gilkx, erstwhile popu
lar manager of the Shreveport club in
the Southern League, and now a trusted
scout for the Cleveland l>all club.
Bobby looks the same us ever; a
quiet, alert, sun-burned man, preserv
ing an athletic build with no tendencies
to a bay window’ effect, and with very
keen eyes set in the deep puckers that
come from years of peering over a blaz
ing diamond.
**Just looking around.” said Mr Gilks
yesterday as he sat on the back of a
bench in the smoker, looking over the
Crackers at practice. *‘l can’t say any
thing more specific except,” be added,
reflectively, “I will say they’re awfully
sea rce. ‘ ’
Mr. Gilks also was of the opinion that
the desperately fine comoing the minor
leagues were receiving this year would
result more In bursting bubbles than
broken batting and base-stealing rec
ords. He expects to remain here nearly
ail week, by the end of which Lis scout
ing will be over for the present season.
