k TTTT: ATLANTA OEOKOTAN AND NEWS. 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.” JMfY.

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. , I, Monday’s Games Morning Game. New Orleans, ab. r. H. po. a. e.

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. Atlanta. Agler, lb. . . Long, If. . . . Welchonce, cf.

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: Southern Championship. HEATS 1 MILE. FINAL 2 MILES.

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 swing at East Lake, interest is not lagging in the approaching Cotton States tournament, to be held this year by the A. A. C. at East Lake. Entries are being recorded every day. about equally di vided between Atlanta cracks and players from Nashville. Knoxville, Birmingham. Chattanooga and other Southern cities. Among the latest to enter in the Cotton States are the following of Atlanta: Singles—T. M. Wilson, E. V. Car ter. Jr.. Carleton Smith. Carl Ram- speck, E. S. Mansfield, E. D. Czitz, Harry Hallman. J. K. Orr, Jr., W. Y. McMillan. Bryan M. Grant and F. H. Martin. Doubles—rGant and Carter, Mans- j field and smith, Czitz and partner 1 (announced later), Ramspeck an«l I Orr, all of Atlanta, and Parrish and R. Y. Smith, of Ni.shville, and Brooks j and Bartlett, of Birmingham. Among the foreign players in sin gles w’ill be Mert Parrish and R. Y.
