,, ID FIGHT III Any Way You Look at It, Mutt Shows Rare Judgment at Times a By “Bud” Fisher By Alien Sangree. N TEW'yORK, Sept 2.—' Thle will j be the hardest fought world's aerie* that the country has ever seen," observed the long-legged, client Cornelius MacGllliouddy, the other night at the hotel where hla club puts up In New York. Mack Is as talkative as a crutch The only way Friend Writer could get him started was by remarking that the Giants will cop this 1913 t>ennant through superior pitching. “I have some young pitchers who will give the Giants a tussle." broke open the silent Irishman, "and they are Brown, Shawkey, Houck and Bush. Now. mind you, I am going to have in this world’s series two old- timers. Plank and the Indian. Bender. These veterans took part in the first battle that I had with McGraw. also the second, and they are going to be features in this series, providing Mc Graw and I win out in our respective leagues." "I realize that McGraw’* club Is stronger than it was in 1911.’’ con tinued the Philadelphia strategist, “and I can see that my men have a battle ahead of them Depends on "Break of Luck." "No, I won’t say that the Athletics will outhit New York. I suppose a good deal will depend upon the break of luck. Now, I want to tell you about the first time my club bumped up against New* York. You can draw your own conclusions. No manager is going to knock an opposing club in a world's series, nor is he going to alibi. But here were the fact* in 190',: "I had Topsy Hartsel, Lord and Socks' Seybold in the outfield and the Cross brothers, Danny Murphy and Harry Davis in the infield. I will say that all those boy* were worn out when we tackled the Giants. Why, just imagine, we won the cham pionship of the American League on \ one day before the seaoon closed. “Of course, I figured on pitching Rube Waddell in the game and that erratic southpaw threw me down. The ball players were all bustng up one another's straw hat*. Rube, who could outbcx anybody on the club, broke half a dozen hat* and then a certain member of the club soaked Rube with a uniform bag It injured the southpaw’s arm. That is the truth, so far a* Waddell's failure to appear in the 1905 series is concerned. "Mathewoon shut us out three games in that s-eries and McGinnity did it once. Bender also shut out the Giants, and I don't mind predicting that he is just as good now a* he was then. Plank’s games were 1-0 and 3-o. I had |re it pitching in that 190 \ series, hut Waddell’s absence handi capped me. Outplayed Giants in 1911. "Well, you want to hear nomething rbout the contest in 1911? S.iv. 1 uon't see what the American pubih cares to know about the inside *tuff on that. We outplayed the Giants in every department. •The experts thought my club would fall down in the catching end. Say. Thomas and Lapp both caught excellent ball, and I have a youngsui row. this Schang. who will deliver the goods, no worry. -No, neither Danny Murphy nor Harry Davis will get Into this com ing series, but they will be there with some timely advice. My club fought the. Giants in a disabled con dition in their first battles. They were right in 1911. and. although it is doubtful whether Coombs can corn- back, 1 will have a well-conditioned club to fight this yeai "McGraw's club looks so much bel ter than it did in 1911. that if 1 were u betting man 1 would say that it is* an even wager between these two clubs, always supposing that each , ops the pennant." Bill Smith, Joe Agler and Other Experts Will Cover Big Series for Georgian To-day the Crackers battle the Gulls at Poncy Park. To morrow, Thursday and Friday the same teams meet. The Gulls are in first place this morning, with the Crackers only three games behind. It is the crucial series of the season. The Crackers have a chance to win the pennant. This series will decide the long race which started last April. The Georgian will be represented at this series by the great est collection of experts in the South. Every little detail of the game will be printed in The Georgian. Among those who will ‘‘cover" this series for The Georgian are: BILLY SMITH, the Cracker manager, the man who brought a rank tail-ender of 1912 up to the top.

New York Yacht Club Issues Cup Race Rules j -J- • *?*•*!* • *!* -J- • v • v *!• o J- vtv First Contest Will Re Sailed September 10,1914 N EW YORK. Sept. 2.—The New York Yacht Club has made pub lic the conditions under which the races for the America’s Cup, in which Sir Thomas Lipton is again the challenger, will be run. The first race is set for Thursday. September 10, 1914; the second for Saturday, September 12; the third Tor Tuesday, September 15. “and further races, if any, to be sailed on each following Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday” until the contest is de cided. Three victories for the same contestant will decide. Sir Thomas sent his challenge on April 8, last; the agreement was signed on July 19. The starting point is to be the Am brose Channel Lightship, if nothin? interfere*, and, if possible, the course is to be laid to windward of the light ship. The first race will be to windward —or leeward, if the other course is not practicable—and return. The sec ond race is to be on an equilateral tri angle. The third race will bo run like the first and the fourth like the second and the fifth like the first. In the event that a race is not finished it will ho run off tin" next scheduled day on the course originally laid out for it. Courses 30 Miles Long. The courses will be as near thirty miles long as It Is possible to arrange and the starting signal will be given ■it 11 a. m.. except in the event of fog or accident to one of the vessels. No race is to be started later than six hours before sunset. Before the boats actually get under way three signals will be given. The first, preparatory, will be sounded fifteen minutes before the starting signal; the second, a warning, ten minutes later and five* minutes after that the starting signal will he given. Six hours is the time limit ex clusive of time allowance. If the lead ing yacht does not finish within that period the race is to be sailed over. The conditions contain this paragraph concerning postponements: "If, in the opinion of the Regatta Committee, the weather shall, at the time appointed for the start of any race, be or threaten to be. of such ‘■•evere character as not to afford a reasonable opportunity of fairly test ing the speed of the two vessels, the race may be postponed at the discre tion of the Regatta Committee, unless either contestant shall insist upon its being started.” The following clauses are interest ing: Can Win by Disqualification. "If either vessel is disqualified ir. any rude such race shall be awarded to the other vessel, whether she shall complete the course within the time limit or not. "If. through the fault of either ves- Mel, the other be destroyed or so in jured as to be incapable of repair, and the latter shall be free from fault, the match shall b» awarded to her. “A representative . f each contestant will be present at the measurements of the other's vessel and will remain on the other yacht during the races. The measurements will lie made at least a week prior to the first race. "If either yacht in any way increase her spar measurements, as officially taken, she must obtain a remeasure ment by special appointment before the next race, or, failing this, must report the alteration to the measurer I at the clubhouse by 10 p. m. of the day before the race following such | alterations, and must arrange with him for remeasurement and. if re quired. be in the Erie Ba*in by 7 o’clock a. m. of the day of said race, and there remain until 8 o’clock a. rn if necessary for purposes of inspec tion of marks or remeasurement. The Defender Not Announced. "If either yacht shall take in or re move ballast or dead weight sh.e must notify the measurer and be at his dis position for inspection of marks or remeasurement as above described. A measurement taken, as provided above, shall be final and not be sub jected to protest by either party.” Most of the other conditions refer to what the yachts shall carry. The Shamrock IV will be the chal lenger’s vessel. The New York Yacht Club reserves the right to wait until a week before the first race before an nouncing what yacht will defend the cup. Made public at the same time wer 0 the cablegram* exchanged between the New York Yacht/Club and the Royal Ulster Yacht Club. Sir Thom as’ representative in the negotiations. Sir Thomas wanted the defender to be no longer than his vessel is bound to he. 75 feet, but the New York Yacht Club refused to give in.

And the Pinch Hit landed on the hittee a few de grees below where he would have buttoned his suspenders, if he had iring suspenders. been w Ordinarily, that kind »>f a Pinch Hit doe* not arouse any violent enthu siasm. But at this particular junc ture a home run over the whisky sign wouldn’t have caused any more of an explosion— and wouldn’t have won the game a bit more effectually. Wherefore, if Mr. Smith finds him self more comfortable .standing. Mr. Smith has the balm of heroism to apply to his personal feelings. And as to his anatomy -well, that prob ably will recover, all by itself. But right there something hap pened. A Mr. Hendryx. who had been de ceptively doeile all day long, suddenly became violently insane, and when Harry VVelchonce and Nixon were through chasing down the evidences of his aberration. Mr. Hendryx was on third, yelling that he would scuttle the ship rather than return to Mat- tea wan. and Mr. McDowell was rep resented by a large bluck dot on the seorebooks. y^HlLE this untoward matter was forward, we happened to be on the Crackers’ bench, anil a cage full of starving tigers would have been quiet and contented by contrast. It’ the Wild Man from Borneo had caught a glimpse of Bill Smith, he would have blown his brains out, one by one, for sheer envy. Kyle managed to hit a sacrifice fly, and then Green fanned. Oonzelman’s big drop making him look idiotic for the third time that afternoon. B UT it lacked a lot of being calm and serene in the Crackers’ cage. New Orleans, ab. r. h. po. a. e.

"Tex” was the first to smash the mark, when he won the final heat of the Southern championship race in 1:23. Then a few minutes later, Graves, riding the second heat of the special match race with Richards, spun off the eight laps in 1:22. Both races were wildly received by the big crowd that marked the Labor Day attendance, and, in fact, all the races were excellent and marked by fast time and hard rid ing. Renel. the French rider, scored 22 points in the Labor Day sweepstakes and was awarded the race, the scor ing being under the French system.

Barrieau Surprises Cross: Leach Held To 12-Round Draw VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sept. 2.—Overecnficlenco nearly cost Leach Cross, the New York lightweight, a fight yesterday with Frank Barrieau, a local fighter. Cross went Into the ring for the twelve-round bout expecting to have an easy time of it. Barrieau showed un expected form and during the early rounds literally swept the New Yorker off his feet. Cross came back when Bar- rieau had grown a bit tired, and did some fighting that earned him a draw, although the newspapers thought the decision should have gone to Barrieau. Conley Wins Decision Over Olliver Kirk FORT SMITH, ARK., Sept. 2- Frank C.

We were not pleased because he defeated some of our other friends, but because he plays such de serving golf and has had so much undeserved bad luck. It seemed high time that such good playing should meet Its just deserts. Paul Hunter comes of a strong golfing fajnily. His mother Is much interested in his game. His father, C. L. Hunter, is a very good player him self, and his cousin, Robert Hunter, is a player of the highest class, who, unfortunately, has not been seen on local links this year. It appears that a certain facility in golf playing runs in families, most notable-examples, in addition to the Hunters, being the Gardner* and the Edwards. Paul, who is almost exactly my age, has played golf since his earliest childhood, and for years has been con sidered one of our very best players. Long before 1 began to play in public i saw picture* of Paul Hunter, a very small lad, with a golf club in his hand. In newspapers and golf magazines. He did marvelous things in those days and is still doing them. He -plays* in perfect form, a fine, free, wide open, easy style, and command* one of thw longest iron shots 1 ever saw played.
