UK PRODUCT
OF THIS SOU
By Bill Bailey.
C hicago, Aug. is.—How would
you have liked to purchase the
regulars of the Sox pitching
staff for what they were valued at
this time a year ago and then dis
posed of them at their present valua
tion? You hadn’t given It a thought?
Well, If you could have put through
such a deal It would have netted you
enough so that you could spend the
remainder of your afternoons watch
ing those same fellows perform. And
the fortune would not have been such
a modest one, either.
By the regulars of the Sox are
meant James Scott, “Reb” Russell.
Eddie Clcotte and Joe Benz. For just
now this same staff is one of the
wonders of the American League.
Since those four fellows got going at
the Marne time the Sox have had great
pitching and the word has gone down
the line of clubs to be on the lookout
for some fancy twirling when Chi
cago is reached.
Scott and Russell have developed
into two of the wonders of the league.
Cicotte has been' pitching almost as
effectively. Joe Benz on Sunday
proved that he was about right. And
it’s likely that one year ago the four
could have been purchased for $10,000.
While now five times that amount
wouldn’t begin to separate them from
the White Sox pay roll.
The Rejuvenation of Scott.
There was Scott, for instance. He
was "all through" in the estimation
of the fans one year ago. He had a
wretched season. It isn’t considered
exactly the right thing to tell whether
waivers have been asked, but there
Is many a man who has a hunch
that the other clubs were given an
opportunity of asserting themselves
as to whether they wanted the fellow
from Death Valley, or whether they
were willing to allow him to go back '
to the minors.
And to-day? Say, President Comis-
key would give you the merry ha ha
if you told him you would give $10,000
and then doubled your bid for "Death I
Valley." He’s like the other stars
of the game. He isn’t to be pur
chased.
Why this increased valuation?
Merely a change in the mental at
titude of Scotty. He realized last
•fall just what a mistake he was
making. Before that baseball wasn't
a profession. It was Just a sport,
and one that made It possible for
him to enjoy himself and earn a liv
ing the same time.
This year? There isn’t anything
in this world quite as serious as a
game of ball. Her<» is an illustration.
Scott is young. Scott likes fun as
well as any full-blooded, healthy
young fellow you ever saw. Scott
likes to play practical jokes. But not
on the dav that he’s going to pitch.
On that day he is as serious as a
business man on the verge, of put
ting through a big deal.
Get the idea?
Russel! Saved by Gleason.
"Reb" Russell was secured at the
draft price and he was secured for
that because no one thought he w%»
worth a dollar more. Otherwise, he
wouldn’t have been subject to th^
draft. Now? If you owned a ball
club and dangled two ten-thousand-
dollar bills in front of President
Comiskey’s eyes and told him it was
the bait to land Russell he would re
fuse
And Russell Is out there twirling
great ball because of the faith of
one man in him. That man Is “Kid"
Gleason. You know they had the
southpaw all ready for a trade. The
waivers had been asked and se
cured. They were just awaiting an
opportunitv when they might hand
him to some high-class minor league
team, which would mean a higher
minor league price.
This Gleason person couldn't quite
get ii out of his head that the young
ster was there. They put him in
one game, and. thereafter. Russell
was no lqr.g^r on the market. He
was a whale from the start.
Cicotte No Joke Now.
Didn’t you think Eddie Cicotte was
pretty much of a joke a year ago°
Sure, you did. Well, this same "Kid”
Gleason has had much to do with his
success.
Gleason got the impression that
Cicotte didn’t have work enough on
those days when he wasn’t pitching.
The twirier took on weight rapidly.
So Gleason figured a way of keeping
Eddie in trim all the time. On the
day*' when he doesn’t pitch Gleason
has him in the outfield. He makes
him chase flies. Cicotte may want
to come in and sit on the bench, but
Gleason keeps him out there on the
fat-reducing job.
Benz Shows Great Form.
Then comes Benz. He pitched a
whale of a ball game against th?
Yanks Sunday. He should have wot.
Which brings up another question.
Why is it that a pitcher always twirls
a remarkable game immediately after
waivers have been asked? That’s
done so often that it seems a manager
would be justified in announcing tha’
waivers had been asked and then
send the subject in to pitch. Thev
always seem to come through. Re
member Ed Reulbach?
.lust the same, we claim that if
pome gent had bought those Sox reg
ulars at what they were "worth one
year ago and Mold them at their pres
ent valuation that he would be ahead
of the game anywhere from $40,000
to $50,000.
M’LOUGHUN WINS FROM

NEWPORT, R. I. Auk, 24.—It

‘Tar Baby’ After World’s Title
THE SGSLPERS
W HAT will the National Com
mission do this year to pre
vent a wholesale monopoly of
world’s series tickets on the part of
the money-mad speculators?
Now is the time for the commis
sion to stop, look and listen. The
crafty dealers in pasteboards are al
ready on the alert and waiting to
gobble up tickets in lots, hoping to
line their pockets with ill-gotten gold
later on when the baseball-mad pop
ulace rushes to buy ducats for the
big games.
It is possible to thwart the plans
of these ticket speculators if the mat
ter is taken in hand at the proper
time, and now is the proper time.
There have been scandals along this
line for several seasons, and every
year the fans are promised protec
tion, but when the annual series rolls
around it is usually found that the
speculators have grabbed the tickets
in big lots.
The fan who has been spending his
hard-earned money" all season with
the baseball magnates is entitled to
protection when the crowning event
of the season arrives, and it is up
to the powers that be in the national
game to throw the proper safeguards
around their patrons, and that right
now.

HARRY HOLLMAN WINS
FLAT ROCK TENNIS
Hat-ry Hollman, well known in At

ner recently in the Highland Lake
Club’s tennis tournament at Flat
Rock. X. C. Mr. Hollman won the
club trophv in singles and with Jack

t>,p Hemlock trophy in the men's

BOSTON, MASS., Aug. - .—Sam
Langford, the greatest fighting ma
chine the ring has produced in re
cent years, will have a good chance
to win the world’s heavyweight cham
pionship if he can secure a bout with
Jack Johnson. The "Tar Baby” is
training daily in North Reading in
order to fit himself for a strenuous
campaign in the square* enclosure
which he is confident will lead up to
the title honored by Fitzsimmons,
Corbett, Jeffries and the other great
est fighters.
The writer made a trip to Lang
ford’s training quarters at North
Reading yesterday to see the mighty
negro battler work out. Sam is box
ing faster and hitting harder than
ever before.
Trains at Red Hill Farm.
Langford’s camp has been pitched
at Red Hill Farm, in North Reading.
This estate is owned by Byron Chan
dler and includes 160 acres. Chan
dler purchased the property for Grace
Larue, his second wife, who was fa
mous as the wearer of the “$10,000
costume."
As the writer anproached the estate,
accompanied by Joe Woodman, Lang
ford's manager, he was struck by the
homelike appearance of the place.
Woodman said that Langford always
liked to be in the country and is
never so happy as when away from
the bright lights and bustle of the
city.
The main house was empty, but in
the Dutch room, which is in the rear,
there seemed to be plenty of excite
ment. The scene was such as one
might expect to see in the training
camp of any champion fighter when
he is taking a day off.
Langford was seated in a big arm
chair telling stories to those around
him. He looked and acted like a
schoolboy on a holiday and amused
his hearers with tales of his travels
around the world. Sam never had a
great deal of schooling, but’he has in
herited a keen sense of humor which
would do justice to a star comedian.
Had Consumed the Blueberries.
Langford seemed pleased that his
audience had been Increased by two
and continued with his story-telling.
We told Sam that we knew he had
Jim Corbett nailed to the mast in the
amusing game, but that we were anx
ious to see him box.
It was then 3 o'clock in the after
noon and Sam did not care a great
deal about putting on the mttts. He
had covered eight miles on the road
early in the morning and had plough
ed up quite a large tract of land. Be
sides this he had picked several quarts
of blueberries. And. according to
Langford, this is not the easiest thing
in the world to do, especially when
you eat the berries as fast as you
pick them.
The big fellow finally consented to
put on the gloves and have a little
sport at the expense of his sparring
partners. His first opponent was Phil
Sehlossberg, "heavyweight champion
of Uncle Sam’s navy." Schlossberg is
a veteran fighter and a good one. too.
He is fast and strong, and gave Sam a
good work-out for three rounds.
Langford looked o^tter than he ha s
at any time before. When he sailed
for Australia two years ago he weigh
ed 170 pounds. He now scales 186
pounds and is as strong as a young
moose.
Winds Up With Jack Read.
He danced around Sehlossberg like
a panther, jabbing him with his left
hand and crossing bin right for
Schlossberg’s jaw with the speed of
a featherweight. Sam, of course, diA
not ston Schlossberg. but Ihe land^,
some ripping wnashes
Schlossberg is very faPt and a stiff
puncher. He made the ‘Tar Baby"
fight at a merry pace throughout the
three rounds.
Langford’s legs have grown larger
during the past two years while the
muscles of his back and chest are
more powerful than they formerly
were.
After boxing three rounds with
Schlossberg. Sam took on Jack Bruno,
the amateur light heavyweight cham
pion, for two rounds. Bruno is a
game, willing boy and gave Langford
a strenuous workout.
Jack Read was the last boxer to ex
change punches with Langford. Read
is the Australian lightweight cham
pion and is a typical fighter. He <s
fairly fast on his feet, but does his
best work at close quarters. He
rushed at Woodman's battler as
though he were only a bantamweight
and landed 5>eve^al solid smashes.
Langford did not try to hit Read
hard, as the purpose of his boxing
with the Australian is to develop
speed. Sam ended his day's training
by tos*sing around the medicine bad
for ten minutes.
We were anxious to find out if Sam
liked the boxing game as he used to.
"Do you like to fight?"
Sam grinned and, lighting a cigar,
said:
Me like to fight. s»ah? Guess you
don’t know me. I fight just so I
can travel all over the world and
get plenty of hard knocks? Dis
poor old fellow is just crazy to
fight. Of course, it keeps the meals
coming regularly and dat Is the
chief thing.
I done make $170,000 fighting,
but I have spent most of it
traveling from place to place. I
have got about $35,000 in real es*
tate now and I guess dat will keep
me out of the poorhouse when
I gets old.
And den you know old Samuel
will make some more dough be
fore he goes to the boneyard.
I will keep fighting for some
years. I will den stick around the
ring some more just for the fun
of it. like I used to Ftick around
and listen to the dice rattle after
I was cleaned out in a dice game
in years gone by.
"What do you think of Gunboat
Smith?" This was the next ques
tion fired at Langford. He replied:
I have never seen "Gunboat"
Smith box, but I am sure I can
beat him, ’cause they tell m e he
is not a good boxer and will go
down to the mat if hit hard
enough. And, gosh, somehow or
other, I always manage to wallop
’em good and hard. Perhaps it is
’cause I am a regular fighter. Dat
is my father was a fighter before
me. He w’as a constable in Wey
mouth, Nova Scotia, and could
knock out any man in the city.
His Father a Heavy Fighter.
My old geht was a big fellow.
He wa.f six feet two inches tall
and weighed about 200 pounds.
He was one of the fighters in the
first bout 1 ever saw. There was
a big guy by the name of Mc
Carthy, who was a regular bully.
He tried to put one over on the
old gent and he just got up his
temper and shines his badge and
goes out and knocks out McCar
thy with a couple of wallops.
"Porky Flynn is a great fighter,"
we ventured. Sam snarled:
Flynn! He talks too much. He
says he beat me in Australia, but
it’s not so. I stopped him in four
teen rounds, and will do the job
quicker if I ever meet him again
in the ring.
"Porky” Is a powerful, clever
chap and one of the best of dese
white hopes, but 1 sure will beat
him if we ever meet. "Po?ky" is
a fine Spanish athlete. He speaks
a heap of what a great fighter he
is, but I know he is not in my
class."
"Tell us about Johnson," said
Woodman. This drew the following
from Sam:
Oh, dat big fellow was a great
tighter. But I think he is done
for. He beat me In Chelsea when
I was only a heavy welterweight
and he was a heavyweight, but I
sure did give him a great battle
and almost knocked him out.
If I get another date with John
son I will flatten him sure. Don't
forget die either.
l^angford will begin his new' Ameri
can ring campaign as a real heavy
weight by battling "Porky" Flynn at
the Atlas A. A. August 26. Arrange
ments for the match have almost been
completed. After his bout with Flynn,
Sam will show in a Boston theater
for a week. He will then go to New r
York, where he will meet John Les
ter Johnson in a ten-round whirl.
Johnson has fought Jeannette, but
should be ea.s> picking for Langford.
FAMOUS IN SPORT—IX.
The Amateur.
T he amateur falls nat-
urally into two groups—the
amateur Amateur and the
professional Amateur. As this se
ries of essays deals only with the
famous in sport we may briefly
dismiss the former.
The amateur Amateur can rarely-
become famous. Entirely at his
own expense, for the pure love of
contest and not even in the lust
of victory, he toils earnestly, In
his play time, at tests of athletic
skill; which shows that he is a
boob, gmong other things Also
he is a faker. Pitted against a
weaker man whose heart is set on
winning after many disappoint
ments, he considers that true vic
tory lies in allow'lng hi9 opponent
to win, so that he may be encour
aged to improve for the greater
honor of the sport.
So much for this freak. An
early vintage of Mr. Webster’s
verbose but much-read work de
fines an amateur as “a lover of
the fine arts.’’ This brings us
down to the professional, or fa
mous amateur, who is notoriously
devoted to a number of fine arts.
The fine art of getting a good Job
as the price of competing In the
colors of some athletic club he has
mastered fully; also the fine art
of hocking medals and cups for
the most they will bring. Few can
excel him in the art of playing
"summer baseball" under an as
sumed name anC in the fine art of
making out an expense account
he can give the oldest traveling
salesmen four kings and an ace.
But the art he loves best is that of
getting his expenses paid for little
jaunts to Europe.
The difference seems to be that
amateur Amateurs are bom and
are unmarred in the making. Pro
fessional amateurs are never born
but we are making them by the
hundreds every year.

“Buck” O'Brien Sent
To Minors by Sox
CHICAGO, ILL., Aug 24—Thomas
(Buck) O’Brien, White Sox twirler, was
yeaterday sold to the Oakland club, of
the Pacific Coast League. He left last
night to report to his new manager.
O'Brien was purchased by the White
Sox a few weeks ago from the Boston
Red Box. He started in but two games
for the Callahan club, and in neither of
them did he stick to the finish. He fin
ished a few games for other pitchers,
but at no time Bince joining the club
has O’Brien shown the same grade oi
pitching that he delivered for Jake Stahl
in Boston last summer. O’Brien joined
the Red Sox in the fall of 1911, going to
them from the Denver club. lAst sea
son he was one of the Red Sox main
stays in the box, but didn’t show very
well in the world’s championship games.
Many are of the opinion that O’Brien
will ‘show his uld form on the coast,
and that he will find his way back to
the major leagues within another sea

“C0MMY” SAYS SOX NEED
GOOD RIVALS TO WIN FLAG
CHICAGO, Au*. 24.—President
Comlskey, of the White So*, has
lodged rather a novel informal com
plaint with the head of the league
because thera are too many weak
teams In the circuit.
“If there were more good teams," he
explained, "the White Sox would win
the pennant sure."
That statement was brought out by
the trip of the Sox which ended the
other day. In eptte of losing six
etralght games to second division
teams In Boston and New York at
the outset, the Sox braced and al
most evened up their defeats and vic
tories for the trip. They did this
by winning six out of eight games
from Washington and Philadelphia,
both of which are leading Chicago in
the race. That made their record for
the Eastern Invasion seven wins out
of fifteen games played, and it
prompted Comiskey’s allegation that
if his Sox could play strong teams
all the time they would cop the bunt
ing.

Nap Hurlers Carry
Own Brand of Dirt
NEW YORK. Aug. 24.—Every Nap
pitcher carries his own special brand
of dirt in his hip pocket when he
works at the Polo Grounds. There’s a
good reason for it, too.
The soil in and around the pitcher’s
box contains some property or other
which makes the cover of the ball
slippery the moment It becomes
slightly damp. This prevents a pitch
er getting a good grip on the sphere
The ball becomes hard to handle even
when the hand perspires slightly.
The left-handed pitchers look like
contortionists when they reach for the
dirt in their hip pockets. The pock
ets are on the right-hand side, which
makes It necessary to do some
stretching to get at the soil.
Speaker Fails on
High Toss in Air
ST. LOUIS Aug. 24.—If you were told
that Tris Speaker, star outfielder for
the Boston Red Rox and who owns a
whip that is the terror of all ambi
tious base thieves, could not throw 223
feet, would you believe it?
Bet you clothes that he ran not, but
be careful and stipulate that the throw
must be straight up into the air. Re
cently Speaker volunteered the remark
that he could stand in the middle of
Fourth street and throw a baseball on
the top of the Pierce building, a dis
tance of 223 feel.
A bet was closed with Joe Wood and
after several trials Speaker gave up
and paid.

Glands and Veins Enlarged
From Poisoned Blood
Operation Fails To Get At Source ot Malady,
Here’s the Remedy.
Nothing But S. S. S. Can Overcome Such Afflictions as These.
An astonishing record of serious blood
poisoning is daily brought to our atten
tion. Enlarged lymphatic glands, swell
ings In the neck, on the arms and legs,
varicose veins on the legs, all of these
are the effect of some poisonous sub
stance collected in the glands or slug
gishly held in the vafns to undermine the
entire system or break out in chronic
sores Ami most if not all of these star
tling calamities could be averted were
the blood primed, toned ami purified in
advance by that wonderful remedy
known everywhere as S. S. S.
The greatest peril is the daily danger
from bruises, contusions, the scratch of
a rusty nail, insect bites, poisoning by
the house fly that deposits the gehms of
Typhoid Malaria, Diphtheria, and other
malignant diseases. And should harmful
germs infect a bruise or contusion. In
stead of collecting in the glands or
forming an ugly sore or ulcer the ac
tivities of the blood keep it in subjection
and quickly cause it to be eliminated.
S. S. S. is a wonderful antidote. It
contains one ingredient, the act! , e mar-
pose of which is to stimulate the tis
sue cells to select their nutrition
