Silk Hat Harry’s Divorce Suit
By TAD
A sheville, n. c.. Aug. 22.—To
the Rev. Dr. John E. White, a
prominent Atlanta minister of
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
rated 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 snare 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. anl
brought the curve ball across the Blue
Ridge with him.
Strange to say, too, his catcher waj
James Clause, w ho runs every day on
an an Asheville street ca» in the
capacity of motorman. Catcher
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 th*»
bat. The meeting to-day between the
old battery mates was an Interesting
one.
Yesterday the pitcher and catcher
who made the curved ball famous m
Western North Carolina went to the
same between Asheville and Char-
Vite, 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.
I^OSTON fans probably have a per-
have no reason to hint that the
worlds champions owe their present
position in the championship stand
ing to lack of recuperative powers.
The-Speed Boys have proved to be
the best ralliers in American League
thi» 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 follow?*: De
troit, won 5. lost 6; St. Louis, won
5. lost 6; Chicago, won 4, lost 4;
New York, won 3. lost 4; Philadel
phia. won 2. lost 5.
In 35 of the 40 American League
games decided in 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 >*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
contests. He Is Tris Speaker, of Bos
ton, who won the Chalmers car of
fered to the most valuable player in
the younger organization Inst season.
Speaker has caused defeats to be
marked up against Chief Render,
Willie Mitchell and Earl Hamilton
this season bv striking telling blows
In the ninth chapter when the count
was knotted.
Plavers who 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, pf Chi
cago and Pete Compton, of St. Trouls.
The latter wan acting in a pinch-hit
ting 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 Carlsch. of Cleveland:
Brief, of St. Louis, and Williams,
of Washinglon.

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 191 < 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.—The
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.
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 manufactured for Young
before a glove big enough to accom
modate his 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.

Hoerr, of St. Louis and Paul McQuis-
ton. of Dallas, playing as a team,
yesterday won their way into the

pionship of the Southwest, being

J. B. Adoue, Jr., and R. F. Shelton,

meet Lionel Mosie. of Dallas, and V.
R. Smith, of Atlanta, in the other

HUT V,III
BLOT’ MAT
TOIL TO-DAY
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.
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.
* * *
j The Athletics are lengthening out
| their lead again in ihe 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 Firates 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 Brldwell, 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
had signed up Fred H. Gross, captain of
the Leland Stanford University team
in 1911, to play shortstop and second
base for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
EXTRA! CARL MORRIS HAS

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.—Larney Lich
tenstein has closed a contract with
Carl Morris, the Sapulpa heavy
weight. and will handle the latter’s
business hereafter. Whatever ring
matches Morris takes part in will be

WINONA WINS PENNANT.
ST. PAUL. MINN., Aug. 22.—With

tory over the St. Louis Cardinals yes
terday by forcing a run over the plate.

The Boston Nationals have bought
Pitcher Jack Quinn and First Baseman

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
in the week by the Pirates.

CADILLAC, MICH., Aug. 22.—Out-
