L WHITE Red Sox Prove To Be Ralliers 470 POL INDSDF 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. • • • TT IE plavers responsible for their * team*'* ninth inning successes are enumerated below: Heroes of the Ninth.

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. BASEBALL TO-DAY — CUB RECRUIT GETS SEVEN WALLOPS IN EIGHT TRi?j> CADILLAC, MICH., Aug. 22.—Out fielder “Pete” Allison, purchased last week by the Chicago Cubs, made sev en hits in eight times at bat in a dou ble-header between Cadillac and Lud- lngton, Michigan State League teams, yesterday afternoon.
