A HHKVTLLE, N. I". Aug 22—To
the Rev. Dr. John E. White, a
prominent Atlanta minister of
the Gospel, who is now visiting in
Asheville, goes fhe honor of having
pitched the first curved ball ever
thrown over fhe batter’s box on a
North Carolina baseball diamond, la
•ated west of the Blue Ridge Moun
tains. At that time it was Professor
John E. White, of the faculty of Mars
Hill College, in Madison County, and
the first curved ball was pitched in a
game between Weavervllle College
and the Mars Hill aggregation. The
contest resulted in a heated dispire
between the two teams, which after
ward took up muc h snace in the news
papers of Western North Carolina.
Professor White, now Dr. Whit*
of Atlanta, had been the captain and
pitcher of the Wake Forest College
baseball team of 1889 and 1890. an I
brought the curve ball across the Bias
Ridge with him.
Strange to say. too. his catcher way
James Clause, who runs every day on
an an Asheville street ca. in the
capacit> of motorman. Catcher
Clause received the delivery of curved
balls sent over the plate by Pitcher
White with bare hands, without th- 1
least sign of a mask or protector of
any kind, and worked right under the
bat The meeting to-day between th*»
old battery mates was an Interesting
one
Yesterday the pitcher and catcher
w ho made the curved ball famous «n
Western North Carolina went to th<
game between Asheville and Char
lotte, of the Carolina League. Dr.
White said that the* Mars Hill team
of 22 years ago could beat, with the
greatest ease, either of the teams or
anything that the Southern League
now has.
Red Sox Prove To Be RaUiers 478 POUNDS OF
Great for Winning Out in Ninth
B OSTON fans probably have a per
fect right to complain of the
showing of their Red Sox in the
pennant race this month, but they
have no reason to hint that the
world's champions owe their present
position in the championship stand
ing to lack of recuperative powers.
The Speed Boys have proved to be
the best rn filers in American League
this season, having won seven garner
in the ninth inning and only having
let three contests escape from them
In the final spasm.
The Nape and the Senators have
also captured seven battles in the
last regularly scheduled round, but
the Clevelanders have met with de
feat seven times In the final chapter
ind tin* Washingtons have been best
ed five times In the wind-up period.
The records of the other American
League teams in games decided In

Tames decided tn the ninth this sea
son the winning run was put on the
records either on a hit or an out;
in three contests errors turned the
tide, in one a s»teal of the plate set
tled things, and in another the pitcher
forced the deciding count over by
issuing a pass. Only one American
Leaguer has succeeded in driving
home the winning marker in three

FODDER FOR FANS
By H. M. Walker.
I OS ANOEI.ES. Aug. 22.—The
biggest boxing card ever
staged on the coast will be
put on at Vernon, meaning that some
470 pounds of fighting weight will
bo shifted into the ring of the Pa
cific Athletic Club.
Heavyweights Jess Willard and
“Bull’ Young, each scaling in at close
to 236 pounds, will enter in a sched
uled twenty-round contest.
Willard is the young giant who is
being boosted as a heavyweight
championship possibility by Tom
Jones and Ad Wolgast. Willard stands
ti feet 6 1-2 inches.
Young a Young Giant.
Young is six inches shorter than
his opponent, but more than makes
lip for his shortage in girth. From
buckle to buckle this elephantine
party is so big that it takes two
men to measure him.
In reach Young takes much* the
worst of the situation. He has but
a puny 74-inch reach at his com
mand. while Willard is credited with
88 i - 2 inches.
It is claimed that five pairs of
gloves were manufactured for Young
before a glove big enough to accom
modate bis great hands had been
found
Cross and Dundee Sign.
After two days of skirmishing
Leach Cross and Johnny Dundee yes
terday signed articles for their
scheduled twenty-round go to be
held on Labor Day. They will scale
in at 133 ringside.

E LLIOTT DENT or Slim Love
probably will draw the pitching
job against the Billikens this
afternoon, facing Elmer Brown, some
$7,000 beauty, if that expensive show
girl’s bum finger Is mended enough
to let him work. If not, it looks as
if Mr. Dobbs will have to shoot Curly
Brown back at us. or take a chance on
Jack Reids, who joined the Dobbers
here yesterday from the Rome club
of the Appalachian League.
Reids is another human office
building, and should he and Love en
counter each other on the mound, the
contest should be worth going mile9
to see, though you could see the two
giants much farther than that.
Manush may play right field In
place Calvo, who wa*. injured by a
pitched ball in the first game of yes
terday’s double-header.
The Crackers need both the re
maining games with the Billies if they
are to work into second place this se
ries. The dog-fall yesterday left tho
relative standing of the two clubs un
changed. It may well be expected,
therefore, that here will be some des
perate ball playing at Ponce DeLeon
to-day and to-morrow.
The lead of the Giants in the Na
tional League has gone back to ten
games in consequence of the victory’ of
the leaders over the Cubs and Pitts-
, burg's defeat of the Phillies.

The Athletics are lengthening out
their lead again in the American
League, having defeated the White
Sox yesterday.

The New York Yankees and the

The Pirates are now doing the heav
iest hitting in the National League.
They made fourteen hits, two of them
home runs, in the game with Phila
delphia.
* * *
Shortstop A1 Bridwell, of the Cubs, is
scheduled to get back to his old posi
tion to-day, after a three days’ suspen
sion.
* * *
Manager Tinker, of the Reds, expects
to have Cy Morgan, formerly of the
Athletics, in the line-up before the end
of this week. Morgan was sent into a
minor league in the West, but the Reds’
manager thought he saw talent going to
waste so picked Morgan up.

President Ebbets announced that he
