Cleveland Southpaw Owns 480
Acres of Splendid Land in
Alberta, Canada.
Bv Venn Gregg.
C LEVELAND, OHIO, Auk. 30.—
Most boll players are bothered
by the problem of what they
will do when they are through with
the big leagues. This is a big prob
lem, but 1 solved mine when 1 went
across the great international boun
dary line and found the solution in
Canada. Yes. Alberta, the province
next the Rockies, is the country I
had been looking for, and I expect to
get an income there when 1 am
through with baseball greater than
the game has ever given me.
It was natural for me to think of
the Far West as offering th e greatest
opportunities, for I was born in tno
West myself. Washington is my na
tive State, so I was not going West to
seek my fortune when I went to Al
berta. Rather I was coming East,
for that province is considerably this
side of my old home. I had been in
the great Canadian province several
times and had some ex< iting hunting
adventures there, for it is on© grand
game country.
Last winter I determined to move
there for good. I at llrst intended to
homestead, for it occurred to me
that, as long as I was going to be in
the game country anyway and would*
have to live somewhere, I might as
well stop on a homestead, and thus
get a good lot of land for nothing,
save the few improvements that the
law requires improvements that I
would naturally make anyway, if I
wanted to do anything with my land
However, I did not carry out my
original intention. I bought. Instead,
some land belonging to the Canadian
Pacific Railroad, which seems to own
the pick of the country throughout
the Northwest, and got what 1 con
sidered a good bargain.
Owns a Tract of 480 Acres.
At any rate, I have 480 acres of
good land in one piece, and. as the
country Is growing rapidly all
through that section. I can count on
a substantial increase in value on my
investment. From the first, however.
I determined to make the most pt my
land. Mere waiting for some one
else to do the work, ns the specula
tors do who buy land and allow It
to remain idle, waiting for th«. set
tlers to improve the country, does not
appeal to me.
I investigated, and found that bogs
seemed to offer about the best return
on anyone's money in that far coun
try, and so hogs it is. Now when I
am not busy wondering how 1 can
keep down base bits by the other
fellows and keep up my percentage
of victories 1 am dreaming of the
fortune to be made in hog raising,
and the comparative merits of oats
or barley as feed. Yes, good, loyal,
Canadian hogs keep well and happy
on oats and barley and an occasional
beet, for beets grow great in that
rich, new soil. It is a wonderful
country and, though it Is cold In the
winter time, the climate Is unusually
healthful.
Naturally, as I am in the heart of
a great game country, I hunt a good
deni in the winter. Hunting has al
ways been a favorite sport with me
ever since I was old enough to hold a
gun. 1 have had, perhaps, more op
portunity than most, and 1 have al
ways improved it. I have shot a great
number of quail partridges and the
smaller game for food, but most of my
experiences have beefi on the big-
game trail.
Some Experiences as a Hunter.
I remember one of the flret expe
riences 1 ever had along this line. It
was in the western part of Wiscon
sin, and I was stopping at a camp in
the dense timber, and thought I would
take my rifle find go out to see what
I could find. The rifle 1 had then was
an old one that I picked up in a sec
ond-hand store, paying $8 for it. At
that I think 1 got rather the worst ot
the bargain.
Still it was the first gun I had over
owned, though I had used borrowed
artillery a good deal, and 1'was very
confident of myself. 1 had gone, per
haps, half a mile and Was feeling fine
when I heard a slight noise, and look
Ing up over the top of a rather high
bush I saw the head and shoulders of
an enormous hear. He towered above
me and in the rather uncertain light
of the timber looked even larger than
he was.
The thought had crossed my mind
when I started on this trip that I
might come across a bear, as they
were rather plentiful In those parts
and I had built all kinds of air castles
as to what 1 should do to him when
occasion arose. Rut now that 1 was
brought face to face with the situation
I experienced an entirely different
feeling
Had I had a cannon with me 1
might have stood my ground, but as it
wits I was outnumbered. My rifle,
with which I had felt so proud, looked
email and Insignificant. Home looked
awful good to me, and without wast
ing any time in thinking about th<
situation I ducked behind the bush
and started for ramp. I was in good
training in those days and a fair run
ner. but I broke all records In my re
treat. I do not think the bear made
any effort to follow me. but he would
have had to go some if ho had wanted
to catch me.
Lost His First Bear.
When I reached camp, which was
very shortly, I told m\ experience t«<
an old veteran log-roller who was
there, and he took down his rifle, a
much larger one than mine, and we
went back to the place where 1 had
seen the bear. He whs no longer
there, but had judged it V>est to retreat
and we did not follow his trail very
far. He was a silver-tipped bear,
and his footprints were the largest
the old man had ever seen, so he said,
and he had killed many beat's.
That was in the days when I was
young and inexperienced, and had
poor tools to work with. In hunting
bears the hunter needs the most im
proved firearms, for bears are always
dangerous. I have shot ten bears in
cluding a grizzly, the most feared an
imal on thi- North American Conti
nent, and 1 have only begun.

Great Races To Be Staged at Drome To-night
Pursuit Event in Feature of Good Program
'TMIE management of the Atlanta
I Motordrome Is to give the local
motorcycle fans a real treat
to-night. The pursaiit race Is to be
added to the regular program. Sev
eral of the fastest riders will be on
the track at one. time In this event
and the fans should certainly witness
a great race.
Usually the first races of the week
have been held on Tuesday night, but
plans were switched so as to give
the fans a chance to nee some sport
on l^abor Day night. The races are
to be known as the Labor Day Sweep-
stakes and a record-breaking card
is < xpected to see riders start to
night.
Local fans have never before had
the opportunity of seeing the famous
pursuit race. The riders have their
machines in good shape now and It
would not be surprising to see some
new record hung up.
Four riders are to be put on the
track at the same time In the pur
suit race, one rider starting as soon
as his opponent has a good start.
As there Is a great deni of rivalry
between the local speed demons it is
a wife bet that the winner will have
to go at his best to finish In front.
Besides the pursuit race several
other #it<*rostlng events are to be
pulled off. There will be the South
ern Championship, the Sweepstakes
and a abednl match race between
Graves and Richards.
Bill Stoddard. local fan, has agreed
to give a handsome loving cup to
the rider who thrice wins the South
ern Championship at the local track.
The cup is to be known as the "Stod-
dardlzed Trophy.”
The cup Is one that anyone would
feel proud of winning, and the speed
demons can be counted on to race
as they never have before in order
to come out a winner. In all, the
races to-night appear to be the best
of the season and some real excite
ment should be given the faffs.
Following are the summaries:
Southern Championship.
(One-mile heats, two-mile finals.
25 points for first, 15 for second and
10 for third.)

Fine Prospects for ‘Cotton States’
W ITH the advent of the present
week—the last before the be
ginning of the big Cotton
States tennis championships—there
Is evident in Athletic Club circles,
and among all the tennis fans in the
city, a disposition to get Into hot
arguments as to the outcome of both
the singles and the doubles events.
To begin with, one pair of rivals
and grand tennis cracks will bo found
in ("arleton Smith and Nat Thornton,
and local fans And difficulty in imag
ining any fort ign experts wresting
the final honors away from these
players, both of whom are at the top
of their game.
In the doubles. Bryan Grant and
Ed Carter are paired, and the com
bination Is one of a stability too
well known to require comment. But
Mansfield and Smith, and Orr and
Ru-mspeck—the latter fresh from tri
umphs at Augusta—will be on hand
with a word to say before the matches
get to the finals stage.
But it must be remembered that
Lee Allen Brooks, of Birmingham, the
present champion, will be present to
defend his title: while Brooks and
Bartlett, the crack Birmingham team,
will be entered in the coming tourney.
The new date—September 8. the
latent ever selected for a tennis meet
here —the fact that It is the big ten
nis event of the year in Atlanta, and
the class and number of the players
entered, all combine to arouse a most
unusual interest in the approaching
tourney, and it is probable that some
of the greatest assemblies ever .seen
at the famous red clay courts at East
Lake will be on hand to watch the
play In every round, from preliminary
to finals.
Frank Reynolds has been charged
with the important post of chief ref
eree. which assures spectators and
players of well-handled matches.

SENATORS ORGANIZE GOLF
TEAM IN WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1 —Golf has
forced the more weighty problems of
statesmanship temporarily out of the
minds of Senators. Rumors that lead
ing and boastful golfers of the House
were crowing of their prowess on th°
Chevy Chase and Columbia Club links
led golfing Senators to perfect the
Senate Golf Association, which will
soon be ‘‘ready for all comers.”
Senator Saulsbury has been the ac-
tlve figure in bringing together th«?
golfing enthusiasts, who include many
of the leading men of both parties.
Here is the roster of officers and di
rectors of the new association, as giv
en out by Senator Saulsbury:
Honorary president. Vice President
Marshall; honorary secretary. Senator
Gal linger; president. Senator O’Gor
man; vice president, Senator Cum

Senate association, wl" aid in the
management of the team. He is an

The dope will be loose to-night.
IF Bill Smith’s help should whirl In

the same spot, while the Gulls were
falling down before Sommers And
Covelyskie in Chattanooga—
Well, the Gulls would Just disem
bark in Atlanta to-morrow three full
games to the good.
And that little series of Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
would be totally obscured by flying
fur and other traditional symptoms of
mortal combat.
At that, It would be up to the
Crackers to take the series straight
to wheel out in front—and then there
would remain the Pepper Kids, and
probably the Big Pole, to lick in the
last game Saturday.
N the other hand, if the Gulls
^ should take as many as one
game from the Pepper Kids to-day.
while the Crackers yielded as many
as one game to the Pels, the stuff
Simply would he off.
In that unhappy Instance, the Gulls
would roll into our town five up and
four and one-half to go—counting our
engagements with the Lookouts Sat
urday.
Anl If—the typewriter stutters at
the Idea—-if we should lose all two
games to-day, and the Gulls should
win all two games in Chattanooga—
Ah, well—the last sad rites prob
ably would be well attended, for (as
we have mentioned from time to time)
Second Place is not so bad for the
Crackers, bearing in mind the years
of 1911 and 1912.
O F course, there is some revival of
the Scandalous Story of the Ele.
vated Mound in Gullville, sprung last
spring by Messrs. Cho<lly Frank, John
ny Dobbs and others. Mr. Frank, in
fact, protested several games his club
played on the Gullville lot—most of
which the Pels lost, by the way.
If Cholly’s club had won three out
of four Instead of losing that quota,
the chances are he would never have
chirped about that too-hlgh pitching
slab.
Anyway, the league officials, hav
ing tabled the protests thus far, are
not very likely to rush to the front
and bid the startled Gulls, ‘‘Stand
bark. Sirrah! You are too far ahead!”
Somehow, we can’t see the Hon.
Knvanaugh rushing madly to the
rescue.
IT would have been a highly agree-
1 able denouement had the Crackers
taken two games Saturday and pulled
the Gulls’ lead down to four games—
then the fur-flying prospects would
have been very bright and fuzzy.
But what is it the poet sings?

The saddest are these: ‘We couldn’t
make it!’ ”

Doctor Mitchell is a mighty popular

all that sort of thing—and best of all.
Dr. Mitchell has always been a good
friend and sympathetic adviser of

So the boys are Just getting back
at the "Doc.” And y*vd know that
sort of thing makes a fellow feel
awfully sore—what?
gloomy, despite the fact that only six
of the varsity will return and an
swer the call of the gridiron. Among
these are Captain Homer Cook, the
star halfback of last year’s team;
Loeb, the plucky center; Means, a
lineman; Fielder and McDonald, half
backs. and Thomasson, who played
end.
With these men as a nucleus.
Coach Heisman has a number of last
year’s scrubs who will make a strong
bid for first string honors.
Those that showed up best as
scrubs last year and look good for
this year are Rainey. Trawick, Lang.
Moore, Lucas. Beard, Goree, Reif-
snider. Crutcher, the Montague broth
ers, Edgar and Tyler, and the Gard
ner boy-a These men played last year
under the watchful eye of Assistant
Coach Alexander and developed great
ability and, with last year’s experi
ence, should do well.
A lost of new material is expected,
but at this early date not much Is
known about their prospects. Several
prep school stars have signified their
Intentions of entering the college,
but until school convenes for the win
ter session not much will be learned.
It is expected that Coach Heirman
will lay especial attention and stress
on kicking ability this year. Mc
Donald, of la*«t year’s varsity, showed
up wonderfully during the season,
and this year should win great hon
ors with his boot. He is young, will
ing to learn and has great ability,
his trusty toe gaining lots of ground
for the Jackets last fall.
Tech has not had a good kicker
since the days of "Lob” Brown back
in 1907, and with the aid of a regular
toe artist, coupled with the fighting
spirit of the Jackets, a winning team
should be turned out.

Billy Papke Only Old-Timer Left
By W. W. Naught on.
I N deploring the lack of high-class
heavyweights at the present time,
the fact that th e middleweight di
vision is even worse run down than
the class above seems to have been
overlooked. Jimmy Clabby, Eddie
McGoorty, Jack Dillon, Frank Klaus,
Billy Papke and Mike Gibbons are
recognized as the best of the lot. Pic
ture, if you can, what Stanley Ketchel
In his prime would have performed
had the six of them been shoved into
the ring for him to dispose of, one
after th e other. Or, sadder still,
imagine if you can any of the six
before Bob Fitzsimmons when the
freckled one was in his prime.
Papke was once a great fighter; but
it is not what you used to be, but
what you ar e to-day in pugilism.
Billy is stringing along on the
strength of his past reputation, And
at that is about as good as any of
them, slowed up even as he is. In his
prime he could have beaten the bunch
in less time than it takes to tell it.
He is the only one of the six possessed
of a real knockout wallop, or rather
did possess one when he was in his
prime.
PjILLON and Klaus are roughhouse
TJ fighters, whose ring actions more
resemble barroom squabllng than
scientific boxing. They are tough,
game to the core and hit fairly well,
but are almost as devoid of scien-'e
as it is possible for men to be who
have engaged in boxing as a profes
sion for years. Neither is hard to hit.
Before either Ketchel or Fitzsimmons
they would have been punching bags.
Klaus once boxed Ketchel, but that
was after the great Grand Rapids
fighter grew careless, began to de
cline and did no more training than
to reduce weight by a hair cut and
shave.
ing to choke when staked up against
real class. There are a number of
reasons to believe that he is not as
game as a man should be if he ex
pects to adopt boxing as a profes
sion. The writer is of the opinion
that Joe Gans and Jack Blackburn,
lightweights, when in their prime,,
could have disposed of the best men
in the middleweight division to-day,
and that Welterweight Joe Walcott
could have beaten them easily, even
despite fifteen or twenty pounds dif
ference in weight.
Great Johnson
Suffering From
Lame Shoulder
B oston, mass., sept, l—wai
ter Johnson, the great pitcher
of the Washington Americans,
is suffering with a lame arm. It de
veloped to-day that Johnson has been
working with his shoulder, which
pains him whenever he delivers the
ball. He contracted it after that fif
teen-inning game, which ended in a
tie, with the St. Louis Browns sev
eral weeks ago, and since then has
been winning his games without ever
having to extend himself. Johnson
to-day was asked about the story that
his arm was sore and he replied:

mann, last year’s captain, who grad

Moore, Colley and Fax Montague, who
is ineligible, this year owing to his

From now* on the practice will con
sist mainly of getting into fit physi

McTaggart Is
Jockey King
In Year’s Time
N EW YORK, Sept. 1.—From mes
senger boy to the top rung of
the racing world In less than
a year is the record of "Little John
ny” McTaggart, who Is without a
doubt the very best American jockey
sporting the silks in this country.
"The Kid,” as little Johnnie is'
called at Saratoga, is a brother of
Jockey Tommv McTaggart. This
time last year he was chasing his
legs off running messages for a New-
York telegraph company.
Johnnie got his first real chance at
the recent Belmont Park meeting,
where he piloted to victory August
Belmont's horse Mission. At Sara
toga “The Kid” had four mounts and
won with three.
IN the history of facing It has never
A been recorded where a boy made
such a rapid and brilliant rise as this
little jockey, whose actual measure
ments would scarcely overtax a yard
stick.
A decade or mors ago the racing
slogans were, "Follow Sloan,” or '‘Fol
low Miller.” To-day the cry is, “Back
the Kid’.—meaning Johnnie McTag
gart, of course. Jeff Livingston, R.
F. Carman, August Belmont and R.
T. Wilson, Jr., are all after his serv
ices.
C AM HILDRETH, the foremost in
America, who has just returned
from abroad to take charge or the
Belmont stable declared after seeing
McTaggart ride that the youngster
was the best rider of his inches the
turf world has ever known.
The little jockey is only 17 years of
age and can ride at less than 90
pounds. He is under contract to
Hugh Penny, a former star rider of
the West. Jeff Livingston offered
Penny JIO.OOO for the “Kid’s’’ con
tract. He whs told he couldn't have
the hoy for twice that amount.

NEW YORK, Sept L—All is in read

staged here Wednesday night between
A1 Palzer, who comes from Iowa, and
Frank Moran, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Both men are In prime condition and
