Hope, You Can’t Rush A High-Priced Plumber Oapmsht. 1911. International News SerrtAa. 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. * • • TilE plavers responsible for their * teamp’ n’nth inning successes are enumerated below: Heroes 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 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. 173 7VJO OCU^cf ~ (r By II. M. Walker. 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 AND M’QUISTON QUALIFY FOR NET FINALS . DALI.AS. TEX., Aus 22 —Roland Hoerr, of St. Louis and Paul McQuis- 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. B. Rix. of Austin, and Augustus Bummerstadt, of Dallas. 6-4. 6-4. 6-3. 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. 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 SECURED A NEW MANAGER MADISON WINS. MADISON, GA..
