BOBBY GILKS, CLEVELAND
SCOUT, IS IN ATLANTA
We have with us this week or part
of it. one Bobl?y Gilks, erstwhile popu
lar manager of the Shreveport club in
the Southern League, and now a trusted
scout for the Cleveland ball chib.
Bobby looks the same as 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 blar
ing diamond.
•‘Just looking around,’’ said Mr. Gilks
ysterday a she sal on the back of a
bench in the smoker, looking over the
Crackers at practice. “I can’t say any
thing more specific—except,” he added,
reflectively, ‘‘1 will say they&re awfully
Bt arce.”
Mr. Gilks also was of the opinion that
the desperately fine com.ung the minor
leagues were receiving this year W'ould
result more in bursting than broken bat
ting and base-stealing records. He ex
pects to remain here nearly all week, ny
the end of which his scouting will be
over for tke present season.

6HUPTRINE CO SAVANNAH. HA.
L OS ANGELES, Aug. 19.—Pro
moter T. J. McCarey, for the
past ten years president of the
Pacific A. C-, is positive in his belief
that Jeffries was “doped" when he
fought Jack Johnson.
"Jeffries could walk right into the
ring to-day and make a 100 per cent
better showing than he did at Reno,”
said McCarey to-day.
"I was watching Jeffries when he
came into the Reno arena. He
lurched down the aisle like a drunken
man, bumping his shoulder against
the moving picture stand. At the
ringside one of his best friends, Clar
ence Berry, reached out to shake
hands, but Jim didn’t appear to rec
ognize him.
0*0
»<T AM suspicious of one man who
1 posed as an intimate friend of
Jim’s prior to the fight. He bet heav
ily on Johnson and after the thing
w’as over he never even w r ent 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.
“I 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 gam e and I would
pay a good sum out of my own pock
et to see the mystery cleared up.”
* * *
TOM JONES, manager for Ad Wol-
* gast and Jess Willard, Is an
other who believes that Jeffries was
"doped.”
“Jeffries w r as 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 se e the thing
explained.”
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 wag 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 Morty Graves’ stock
machine and immediately after start
ing ascended to the white boards at
the top of the track. The white boards
are perpendicular and It takes a speed
of at least 80 miles an hou-r 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 he
had smashed on his first 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:
Th© skin was peeled from the right
side of his face.
A glaring hole in his skull that ma?
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 has not been fully deter
mined.
