Red Sox Prove To Be Ralliers 470 POUNDS OF
Great for Winning Out in Ninth
A SHEVILLE, N. C., Aug 21.—To
the Rev. Dr. John E. Whit®, a
prominent Atlanta minister of
the Gospel, who Is now visiting In
Asheville, *roes the honor of bavin*
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 dispute
between the two teams, which after
ward took up much soace in the news
papers of Western North Carolina.
Professor White, now Dr. White
of Atlanta, had been the captain and
pitcher of the Wake Forest College
baseball team of 1889 and 1890. and
brought the curve ball across the Blue
Ridge with him.
/'fUrange to say, too, his catcher was
James Clause, who runs every day on
an an Asheville street car in the
capacity of motorman. Catcher
Clause received the delivery of curved
balls sent over the plate by Pitcher
White with bare hands, without the
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 pitcheT and catcher
■who made the curved ball famous in
’Western North Carolina went to the
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
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 beat ralliers In 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 Naps and the Senators have
alao 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 follower De
troit, won 5. lost 6; St. Louis, won
5, lost 6: Chicago, won 4. lost 4;
New- York, won S, lost 4; Philadel
phia, won 2. lost 5.
In 35 of the 40 American league
games decided in the ninth this eea
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 fgeal 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
contents. He Is Trls Speaker, of Bos
ton. w'ho won the Chalmers car of
fered to the most valuable player In
the younger organisation 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
wri knotted.
Players w’ho have won two games
for their teams by producing timely
hits in the last inning this year are
Duffy Lewis, of Boston; Ivan Olsen,
of Cleveland; Maurice Rath, of Chi
cago. and Pete Compton, of St. Louis.
The latter was acting in a plnch-hlt-
tlng capacity on each occasion he
made himself popular with his boss,
George Stovall. Other sub swatters
who have won games in the ninth
this year are Carisch, of Cleveland;
Brief, of St. Louis, and Williams,
of Washington.

GERMAN ATHLETES WILL
COMPETE AT SAN FRANCISCO
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian
BERLIN, Aug. 22.—James E. Sulli
van, secretary of the Amateur Ath
letic Union, to-day obtained the
promise that a team of German ath
letes would be sent to San Francisco
to compete at the Panama-Pacific Ex
position in 1915.
In return for this courtesy, it 1*
considered likely that the American
team which is to compete in the
Greek Olympic games at Athens in
the spring of 1914 will make a trip to
Berlin and participate in an athletic
meet there.
Representatives , of France, Den
mark, Norway, Sweden and Finland
gave assurances to Mr. Sullivan that
their countries would be represented
at the exposition by teams of ath
letes. Hungary also will probably
send a team,
I OS ANGELES, Aug. 22
biggest boxing 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 stands
6 feet 6 1-2 Inches.
i Young a Young Giant.
Yoting is six Inches shorter than
hts 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 manufactured for Young
before a glove big enough to accom
modate his great hands had been
found.

After two days of skirmishing

H0ERR AND M’QUISTON
QUALIFY FOR NET FINALS
DALLAS, TEX* Aug. 22.—Roland
Hoerr. of St. Ixnils and Paul McQuls-
ton. of Dallas, playing as a team,
yesterday won their way Into the
finals in doubles for the tennis cham
pionship of the Southwest, being
played on the courts of the Dallas
Lawn Tennis Club.
In a brilliant semi-finals match
they defeated J. R Rlx, of Austin, and
Augustus Bummerstadt, of Dallas.
6-4. 6-4. 6-8.
J. B. Adoue, Jr., and R. F. Shelton,
of Dallas. Southern champions, will
meet Lionel Mosie. of Dallas, and V.
R. Smith, of Atlanta, in the other
semi-finals match to-day.
FODDER FOR FANS
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 miles
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 the
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.
