Red Sox Prove To Be Ralliers 470 POL

PUT CilE BILL
Great for Winning Out in Ninth
HEIGHTS
A sheville, n, c„ au*. 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
cated west of the Blue Ridge Moun
tains. At that time it was Professor
\Tohn 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 snace 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. an1
brought the curve ball across the Blue
Ridge with him.
Strange to say. too. his catcher was
James Clause, who runs every day on
an an Asheville street ca. in the
capacity of motonnan. 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 <n
Western North Carolina went to the
rime between Asheville and Char
lotte, of the Carolina league. Or.
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
ifbw 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 best 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
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 6. 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 4ft 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 th*»
tide; in one a steal of the plate set
tled things, and in another the pitcher
forced the deciding count over by
issuing a pass. Onlv one American
Leaguer has succeeded in driving
home the winning marker in three
contests. He is Tris Speaker, of Bos
ton, who won ^he Chalmers car 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 Mows
in the ninth chapter when the count
was knotted.
Plavers who have won two games
for their teams by producing tirnbly
hits In the last inning this year are
Duffy I^ewis. of Boston; Ivan Olsen,
of Cleveland: Maurice Rath, of Chi
cago. and Pete Compton, of St. Louis.
The latter wa*» 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 Carisch, of Cleveland;
Brief, of St. Louis, and Williams,
of Washington.

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 is
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

their countries would be represented

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 ta accom
modate his great hands had been
found.
Cross and Dundee Sign.
After tw’o 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.

N SW participants in the Western
amateur championship at
Homewood will never forget
Della and her wagon full of delicious
refreshments at the thirteenth green.
Homewood provided many comfort3
for guests on that important occasion,
but none more appreciated by weary,
thirsty golfers, and, in consequence,
a decided novelty was instituted.
Each morning at about 8 o’clock a
peculiar looking wagon stood near
the regular bar of the Homewood
Country Club, and a large friendly
faced woman could be seen stowing
away In Its depths, in a most busi
ness-like manner, bottles and glasses
and other things needed to gladden
the heart of the golfer. If. spurred
by curiosity you came closer, you
discovered that the queer looking ve
hicle was a covered wagon, with a
counter running alongside. There
were many shelves in its interior and
a place for washing glasses. As soon
as the long array of glasses were
in place the friendly-faced woman
climbed in and drove away. Then,
when you felt yourself perishing from
thirst and fatigue, you saw again,
on the thirteenth green, the woman
and her wagon, and you hailed, joy
fully, Homewood’s benevolent insti
tution.
The thirteenth green is at the toD
of a high .hill and the climb-up there
is steep and tiring.
Warren Wood told me that the
name of the proprietress of this
movable refreshment booth was Della,
and I do not think that any one knew
her last name. It was not long,
however, before she knew every
player in the tournament and ad
dressed each one by name as soon
as he came up. She compounded the
most delicious soft drinks in sur
prisingly quick time and earned the
grateful appreciation of every golfer.
So much for the pleasant-face!
woman behind the funny little coun
ter of the refreshment stand at
Homewood.
This wagon refreshment stand is
original with Homewood, but other
links have their half-way places. Of
course, ,this is not true of links where
the ninth and eighteenth holes are
at the clubhouse. The nearest ap
proach to Homewood’s innovation
was a little hand-cart that I saw on
the tenth tee at St. Andrews.
