GEQBGMM SPORTS’ GOVTEEED^
Any Way You Look at It, Mutt Shows Rare Judgment at Times
By “Bud” Fisher
Bv Alien Sangree.
N BW'yORK, Rept. 2.—“This will
be the hardest fought world’*
series that the country ha* ever
Been.” observed the long-legged, silent
Cornelius MacGilliruddy, the other
night at the hotel where his club puts
up 1n 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
pennant through superior pitching.
“I have some young pitchers who
will give the Giants a tussle,” broke
open the silent Irishman, “and they
are Brown, Shaw key, Houck and
Bush. Now r . 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 1 win out in our respective
leagues.”
"I realize that McGraw s dub is
Wronger 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
pood deal will depend upon the break
of luck. Now, I want to tell you
about the first time my club bumped
tip against New York. You can draw
your own conclusions. No manager
is going to knock an opposing club in
n world’s series, nor is he going to
alibi. But here were the facts in
3905:
"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 boys were
worn out when we tackled the Giants/
ttVhy, just Imagine, we won the cham
pionship of the American League on j
bna day before the season dosed.
“Of course, 1 figured on pitching
Birbe Waddell in the game and that
erratic southpaw threw me down. The
ball players were all bustng up one
another's straw' hats. Rube, who
could outbox anybody on the club,
broke half a dozen hats and then a
certain member of the club soaked
Rube with a uniform bag. It injured
the Bouthpaw’s arm. That is the
truth, so far as Waddell’s failure to
appear in the 1905 series is concerned.
“Mathewaon shut us out three
games in that series and McGinnity
did it once. Bender also shut out the
Giants, and I don’t mind predicting
that he is just as good now as he was
then. Plank's games were 1-0 and
B-0. I had great pitching In that 1905
series, but Waddell’s absence handi
capped me.
Outplayed Giants in 1911.
‘ Well, you want to hear something
about the contest In 1911? Say. I
don’t sec what the American public
cares to know about the inside stuff
on that. We outplayed the Giants in
every department.
’The experts thought my club
would fall down in the catching end.
Pay, Thomas and Lapp both caught
excellent ball, and I have a youngster
now. this Bchang. who will deliver
the goods, no worry.
"No, neither Danny Murphy nor
Harry Davis will get into this com
ing scries, but they will be thers
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 come
back, 1 will have a well-conditioned
fcJub to fight this year
•’McGraws club looks so much bet
ter than it did in 1911. that if 1 were
r betting man 1 would say that it is
on even wager between these two
clubs, always supposing that each
•cops the pennant.”

New York Yacht Club Issues Cup Race Rules J
*b#+ v§ *1* »l*tv •«•••!• •»•••!•
First Contest Will Be 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 Jhomus 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 for
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 nothing
interferes, 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 be 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 be run off the 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
[\ 11 a. m.. except in the event of fog
or accident to one of the vessels. No
race is to be Parted 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 be given.
Six houhs 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 in
any race 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
sel, 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 be awarded to her.
“A representative of 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 be made at
least a week prior to the first race.
“If either yacht in any way inorea^ie
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
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 Banin by 7
o’clock a. m. of the day of said race,
and there remain until 8 o’clock a. m
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 she 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 Y'ork 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 were
the cablegrams 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 be, 75 feet, but the New York Yacht
Club refused to give in. Sir Thomas
did not press the point.

PELKV AFTER JOHNSON.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2.—Just prior
to leaving for his home in Detroit, Ar
thur Pelky, hea. weight battler, an
nounced through his manager that he
would try to got a light with Jack
Juiumon m Bans.
F OR once in the history of base
ball, the opposing pitcher
posed as a pinch hitter for
the enemy. And it was with two
gone in the last of the ninth, the
bases full, and the score a tie that
Friend Peddy of the Pels touched
off a roaring crowd of ten thousand
persons with the Pinch Hit that
gave the Crackers the game, and the
right to win the 1913 pennant—if they
could lick the Gulls four games in
a row.
Mr Peddy was the pinch hitter,
as remarked above. Mr. Wally Smith
was the pinch hittee. And the Pinch
Hit landed on the hittee a few de
grees below where he would have
buttoned his suspenders, if he had
been wearing suspenders.
Ordinarily, that kind of a Pinch Hit
does 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. Anil
as to his anatomy -well, that prob
ably will recover* all by itself.
* * •
T HE morning game having gone the
way of all good uall games —
i. e.. to th*- home team—and Mobile
having duly lost, ten thousand fans
shoe-horned themselves into Ponce
DeLeon Park for the matinee encoun
ter.
It was worth the process.
* * *
C ONZELMAN and Peddy were the
licensed operators, and Joe had
it all over his rival, right up to the
last frame. The Crackers were lead
ing. 3 to 1, when that session started,
and the bugs were crawling down to
ward the exits, not figuring the fin
ishing touches would be particularly
affecting.
They had a bum hunch.
• • •
M DOWELL, first up. got a base on
balls. That didn’t look very aw
ful, and Kraft was an easy out.
But right there something hap
pened.
A Mr. Hendryx, who had been de
ceptively docile all day long, suddenly
became violently insane, and when
Harry Welchonce 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-
teawan. and Mr. McDowell was rep
resented by a large black dot on the
scorebooks.
* * •
\17U1LB this untoward matter was
** forward, we happened to be on
the Crackers’ bench, and a cage full
of starving tigers would have been
quiet and contented by contrast.
If 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, Conzelman’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.
Darkness was approaching and a lot
of porch-climbers in the bleachers—•
the kind that cause forfeited games
in Philadelphia end elsewhere—were
throwing cushions.
Bill Smith was throwing fits, for his
part, but he wasn’t throwing them
out on the field, so they didn't clutter
up the game.
• • •
THEN, with another ninth inning
1 outburst of fury, we put it over
Chapman sfngled and Conzelman
put him down. Agler walked, but
Tommy l»ng’s sharp grounder got
them only as far as second and third.
Welchonce was passed with two down,
and then Mr. Smith stood valiantly in
the way of a fast one. which stopped
at the bosom of his pants.

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
i
FORT SMITH. ARK., Sept. 2.—
Frank C. Conley, former bantamweight
| champion, was given the newspaper de-
; cision over Olliver Kirk, of St. Louis, at
j the end of a ten-round bout here ves-
I terday. Kirk's right hand, which he in
jured in a recent bout, was put out of
| commission again yesterday in the third
j round.
Conley announced that he would en
deavor to arrange a return match with
Johnny Coulon, the present champion,
for the title.
T HE motordrome track record for
two miles was broken twice
last night by the terrific rid
ing of “Tex” Richards and Morty
Graves, who circled the saucer at
the fearful clip of 88 miles an hour.
“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 w’ildly 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.
Richards won the Australian pursuit
race, which was an exciting affair.
Following is a summary of the
events:

To A, A. C. For Big
Cotton States Meet
By Chick Evans.
P AUL HUNTER, as every one
knows, gladdened the hearts of
his friends by w inning the Lake
Geneva tournament and many of the
adjuncts thereto. 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 family. 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
Gardners 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 I began to play 1n public
1 saw pictures of Paul Hunter, a very
small lad, with a gol? 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 commands one of the
longest iron shots I ever saw played.
He is a strong, big fellow as golfers
go. and gets his strength into the ball
to the fullest advantage.
He seems to play, however, In the
most exasperating hard luck. When
he loses it is almost always by the
narrowest of margins, and almost al
ways there is some rather spectacular
bit of misfortune connected with hie
defeats.
For that reason as well as many
others, I am sure that no one grudges
Paul his “clean-up” at Lake Geneva,
least of all, that good sportsman, Ken
neth Edwards, the runner-up of the
event.
While the Atlanta Athletic Club’s
tennis championships are in full
