A sheville, n. c„ auk. 22.—to
the Rev. Dr. John E. White, a
prominent Atlanta minister ot
the Gospel, who is now visiting in
Asheville, goes the honor of having
pitched the first curved ball ever
thrown over the batter's box on a
North Carolina baseball diamond, lo
cated 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 Weaverville College
and the Mars Hill aggregation. The
contest resulted in a heated dispuet
between the two teams, which after
ward took up much snace in the new s
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, anl
brought the curve ball across the Blue
Ridge with him.
Strange to say, too, his catcher was
James Clause, w ho runs v ve n day on
an an Asheville street car in th»
capacity of mot ortrmn. Catch**]
Clause received the delivery of curved
balls sent over the plate by Pitcher
White with bare hands, without th
least sign of a mask or protector of
any kind, and worked right under the
bat. The meeting to-day between the
old battery mates was an Interesting
one.
Yesterday the pitcher and catrher
who 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.
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
havo 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 millers Jn American League
this season, having won seven games
in the ninth Inning and only having
let three contests escape from them
in the final spasm. "•
The Napa 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
and the Washingtons have been best
ed five times In the wind-up period.
The records of the other American
League teams In games decided in
the ninth Inning Is as follows: De
troit, won f>. lost 6; St. Louis, won
5. lost 6; Chicago, won 4. lost 4.
New’ York, won 3. lost 4; Philadel
phia, won 2. lost 6.
In 35 of the 40 American League
games decided In the ninth this
son. the winning run wa» put on the
records either on a hit or an out;
in three contests errors turned the
tide; in one a Mteal of the plate set
tled things, and in another the pitcher
forced the deciding count over by
issuing u pass. Only one American
Leaguer has succeeded In driving
home the winning marker In three
contests. He Is Tris Speaker, of Bos
ton. who won the Chalmers ertr of
fered to the most valuable player In
the younger organization last season.
Speaker has caused defeats to be
marked up against Chief Bender,
Willie Mitchell and Earl Hamilton
this season by striking telling blows
in the ninth chapter when the count
was knotted.
Players who have won two games
for their teams by producing titnelv
hits in the last inning this year are
Duffy Lewis of Boston - Ivan Olsen, f
of Cleveland; Maurice Rath, of Chi-I
cago and Pete Compton, of St. Louis, j
The latter was acting In a pinch-hlt- J

I OS ANGELES, Aug. 22.—The
biggest boding card ever
staged on the coast will be
put on at Vernon, meaning that some
470 pounds of fighting weight will
be shifted into the ring of the Pa
cific Athletic Club.
Heavyweights Jess Willard and
‘‘Bull’ Young, each scaling in at close
to 235 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 stends
6 feet *51-2 inches.
Young a Young Giant.
Young is six inches shorter than
his opponent, but more than makes
up 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
83 1-2 inches.
It is claimed that five pairs of
gloves were manufacturer for Y’oung
before a glove big enough to accom
modate his great hands had been
found.
Cross and Dundee Sign.
After two days of skirmishing
Loach Croijs and Johnny Dundee yes
terday signed articles for their
scheduled twenty-round go to be
held on l^abor Day. They will scale
In at 133 ringside.

Red Sox Prove To Be Ralliers 470 POUNDS OF
Great for Winning Out in Ninth |
1C 13 BUTTLE
E LLIOTT DENT or Slim Love
probably will draw the pitching
job against, the Billikens this
afternoon, facing Either 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 tak ea 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, th?
contest should be worth going miles
to see, though you could see the two
giants much farther than that.
Manush may’ play light field in
place Calvo, who wsa 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 th%
relative standing of the two clubs un
changed. It may well be expected,
therefore, that here will be some des- j
perate ball playing at Pone 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 Headers 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 Ti
gers were idle In Detroit yesterday be
cause of rain. They play two games to
day.
* * *
The Pirates are now doing the heav
iest hitting in the National League.
They made fourteen hits, two of them
home runs, In tne 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 fie saw talent going to
waste sq picked Morgan up.
* * *
President Ebbetts announced that he
had signed up Fred H. Gross, captain of
the Lei and Stanford University team
in 1911, to play shortstop and second
base for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
EXTRA! CARL MORRIS HAS
SECURED A NEW MANAGER
CHICAGO. Aug. 22.—Largey Lich
tenstein has closed a contract with
Carl Morris, the Snpulpa heavy
weight. and will handle the latter’s
business hereafter. Whatever ring
matches Morris takes part In will be
made by Larney.
The latter has hurled a challenge
at Joe Cox, Doc Krone's heavyweight.
Larney would like to get a Labor Day
date for this pair.
MADISON WINS.
MADISON, GA., Aug. 22.—In the
second game of the series being
played here with Newborn, Madison
won yesterday 5 to 1. This victory
gives Madison the unchallenged ama
teur championship of the State. Bat
teries—Newborn, Pitts ana Smith;
Madison, Perrytnan and Orr.
A base on balls gave Boston a vic
tory over the St. Louis Cardinals yes
terday by forcing a run over the plate.
* * *
The Boston Nationals have bought
Pitcher Jack Quinn and Flrse Baseman
Schmitt, from the Rochester club, of the
International League.
* * *
Manager Chance has quit predicting
that the Yankese will finish the season
in the first division and now is prophe
sying that they won’t finish last.
* * *
“Old Master” Mathewson came back
yesterday after being trounced earlier
»n the week by the Pirates.
* * *
Long Larry McLean, catcher for the
Reds, is developing into one of the fast
est runners in the league.
CUB RECRUIT GETS SEVEN
WALLOPS IN EIGHT TRIPS
CADILLAC, MICH., Aug. 22.—Out-
fielder “Pete” Allison, purchased last
week by the Chicago Cubs, made sev
en hits in eight times at bat in a dou
ble-header between Cadillac and Lud-
ington, Michigan State League teams,
