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.

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.

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. BEJUir MM TOIL TB-DflY 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 gers were idle In Detroit yesterday be cause of rain.
