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. • • • THE players responsible for their * teams' ninth Inning successes are enumerated below: Heeoes of the Ninth.

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. Cross and Dundee Sian. After two days of skirmishing Leach Cross and Johnny DundeO yes terday signed articles for their scheduled twenty-round go to be held on Labor Day. They will scale in at 183 ringside 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. EXTRA! CARL MORRIS HAS SECURED A NEW MANAGER CHICAGO.
