THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 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.

Aug 23—President Navin, of the Detroit American League club has sent word to Ed Maier. pro moter "f the local team known as the Select Kids, that he will not allow Ty- rus Gobb to play on the coast next win ter. For the last two months Maier had been negotiating with the Georgian to play here every Sunday from Novem ber to the first of March, but Xavin’s message ends the dickering. Navin In cidentally wrote that he is considering California for the Tigers’ next training trip HARRY HOLLMAN WINS FLAT ROCK TENNIS Hat-ry Hollman, well known in At lanta tennis circles, was twice a win 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 Monroe of N "v Orb'An* captured t>,p Hemlock trophy in the men's doubles. By Jack Conway. 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. * • • ENCOURAGED BY THEIR SUC- cess in selling one unknown pitcher to the Giants for $15,000 the own ers of the Superior club now burst forth with the announcement that they have another unknown who has just pitched a no-hit game. • • • BIG ED WALSH, WHO HAS won more games for the White Sox than any pitcher that club ever had, has broken down after trying to pitch every other day all season.

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 son. Danny Morgan, the talkative manager, has added another boxer to his stable.

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.

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. CRAPPERON RULES FAVORITE.
