THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS "fiv Damon Runyon. N EW YORK, Aug. 20.—Handsome Harold McCormick, president of the Amalgamated Assassination of Pinch Punchers, has called a meet ly iRf? of the board of directors to con- r sider the application of Sir Mique Donlin, who desires membership in ! the organization so he can go around pinching with the Yankees, or some one. The puchrltudlnous. but otherwise all right Harold, has notified Messrs. Ham Hyatt, of Pittsburg; Charley McDonald, of Boston; Doc Miller, of Philadelphia; Benny Myers, of Brook lyn; Johnny Bates, of Cincinnati; Jack Lelivelt, of Cleveland; Otey Crandall, of St. Louis; Olaf Hinrick- sen, of Boston, and Hugh High, of Detroit, to meet him in a dark alley some night so he can poll the delega tion. It is believed that Sir Mique will be admitted, if he can survive Jersey City, and his residence there will not be in any way held against him. as it 1s well understood that Mike is a Broadwayite at heart When John J. McGraw founded the Pinch Hitter, little did he think that it would flourish and spread across all the leagues, as It most certainly has flourished and spread. When th' 1 Giant chief employed Samuel Strang, the best baritone ever in baseball, to pinch hit for him. it wa9 because John J. McGraw desired pinch hits . and not that he desired to encourage* pinch hitters, but from the lowly be ginning of S. Strang grew the great army that we know to-day. Strang “Some Pincher.” It is related of S. Strang that he went up fourteen times in the tight places and tore off eleven hits, and so when S. Strang went away from here to sing and such McGraw' lay in wait for another pincher of his caliber. Handsome Harold McCor mick is the answer. Meantime, however, other clubs had adopted the pincher. and now we have among others, the illustrious persons named above, most of whom do nothing but pinch hit, but who get fat salaries for sc doing, while com mon, or garden, ball players work from day to day for the same amount of money. And who shall say that they do not pay for themselves? Not us. We shall not say it, because we have a high regard for the pinches, and, moreover, we envy him his Job. Sir Mique could always spank the baseball, and he had that peculiar quality of confidence that makes the pincher pinch. Take Harold Mc Cormick. for example. Harold does not believe the pitcher ever lived who had anything on him. Harold reasons that he has something on the pitchers, especially when he roes up in the pinch. Pitchers Fear Harry. He argues that the pitcher is the man who is entitled to be afraid and not Handsome Harold McCor mick. Wherefore, he pinches punctil iously, and wherefore, he is retained at what may be enormous expense, for all we know, on the payroll of the New York Giants. * * * A HASTY compilation of the Scbush family now playing professional baseball, show's the following line-up: Schalk, Schang, Schmutz, Schardt, Schact and Schauer. * * • J >E TINKER says he will resign. which is the same thing in a gen eral way that the Cincinnati fans said when the^ saw him coming. • • • pilRIS MATHEWSON was once quoted as saying that he could tell what Honus Wagner intended doing by watching his feet. Events of last Saturday prove that Chris is either becoming nearsighted, or that Honus has new* feet. * * • C HARLEY M. TESREAU. the pitch ing pachyderm, is still in there leading the boys in number of strike outs. Charley M. has whiffed 132 batsmen, which record is topped only by Wonderful Walter Johnson, of Washington. D. C. Walter has breezed 163; Tor\i Seaton, of Philadelphia, is next to Tesreau in the National League with 126 strike-outs, and he is the champion base-on-baller, with 89 passes, while Charley M. has a matter of 87. • * • TT appears that John J. McGraw is * determined to have at least one look at “Preacher" Perryman, the the ological hurler of the Virginia League, at all hazards. He has exercised an option on the younsr man, who Is now at Roanoke. Pern-man was supposed to report at Marlin last spring, and for days and days the Giant chief anxiously searched the horizon for a glimpse of the youth, who is said to be several stories in height, but Perryman came not. It is said he remained in Georgia to complete his college course, and then he returned to the Virginia League, where Mc Graw first heard of him a year ago. BUCK O’BRIEN NOT WANTED BY A COAST LEAGUE CLUB LOS ANGELES. Aug. 20.—The services of “Buck” O’Brien, one of the pitchers who helped the Boston Red Sox win the world’s series last fall, were declined with thanks by the management of the Venice club of the Pacific Coast League last night. O’Brien is now a member of the Chicago White Sox. Captain Calla han telegraphed President Eddie Maier offering to sell O'BMen. Maler wired that he could not use the vet eran. Reports that O’Brien is a hard man to handle probably had much to io with Maier’s decision. SMITH, ATLANTA, LOSES TENNIS MATCH TO ADOUE DALLAS, TEXAS.

EX-CHAMPION WRESTLER NEAR DEATH IN JOLIET, ILL. JOLIET, ILL., Aug. 20.—James Bardell, former trainer of the White Sox and ex-champion lightweight wrestler of the world, is dying in a Joliet hospital. Bardell has been falling for months and suffered a complete nervous breakdown a week ago, Physicians declare there is only a small chance for him to live. He is known through out the country among sporting men as a trainer and boxing referee, and is an old personal friend of Charles Comiskey, Jim Jeffries, Tommy Can non and other sportsmen. He was one of the three sponsors of Packey Mc Farland’s first fight at Tattersall's old fight arena in Chicago.

JACK JOHNSON MAY NOT BE ALLOWED ON LONDON STAGE LONDON, Aug. 20.—There is a possibility that Jack Johnson, the American negro puglist will not be allowed to appear on the stage in this city. The announcement that he would do a turn next week at one of the music halls brought a number of re monstrances to the management to the effect that the London public, after the recelations of Johnson’s violations of the white slave lkws of the United States, would not stand for the negro pugilist as an enter tainer. The manager retorted that he did not think the question of morality en tered into the matter if the boxing exhibition by Johnson was a good one. Besides, the term “white slavery” does not mean the same in England as It does In the United States, and the crime with which Johnson is charged in the United States would not be an offense against the law here. The Federa tion of Variety Artists will discuss the question at a meeting in this city on Thursday. 4 AT MINERAL SPRINGS.

BASEBALL Diamond News and Gossip STILL AFTER M’ALLISTER AND PETR0SKEY MATCH SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.. Aug. 20— Promter Jim Coffroth is still struggling with the Bob McAllister-Sailor Peiros- key-Jimmy Clabby problem. Jim wants first of all to arrange a return match between McAllister and Petroskey, be ing satisfied that there Is an Insistent demand for the same. In making his deductions, Coffroth is influenced by the fact that McAllister’s friends believe Bob should have received the decision in the recent bout, while Ptroskey’s followers are calling upon all non-partisan sport.* to bear testimony that McAllister would have been knocked out had the affair lasted a few rounds longer. In such a case, of course, a return match w’ould fill a long felt want If It takes place Clabby is assured a match with the winner, something worth hanging around for. If McAllister, after due consideration, decides he has had enough of the boxing game for a while, Coffroth will turn his attention to a Pet- roskey-Clabby match. • FORMER MAGNATE TO SUE CHAS.
