i t& D ITEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, (LA., SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, IMS. Latest Baseball News and Gossip of All the Leagues LITTLE ACTUAL The Job Was Too Humiliating for Mutt MONEY SPENT IN THE HPT By “Bud” Fisher Magnates Merely Tie Up Cash While Recruits Try to Make Good. By Bill Bailey. O NE of the9e fine days in the near future you will read that the magnates of the majors are on their way to Cincinnati for drafting day. Every magnate will carry two grips In one he will have a clean collar and a tooth brush and various other ar ticles of a personal nature. In the other he will have a bunch of cer tified checks. These are to accom pany his drafts and to pay for the men he secures in the annual lottery. This grip will be carried in his right hand and guarded closely. Immediately afterward will come stories that this of that magnate had certified checks amounting* to $30,000. “He certainly is spending the coin.” will be the comment. And immedi ately we will picture the magnate as of the sort who cares no more for a thousand dollars than he does for a cancelled postage stamp. The in terviewers will say that he said that he didn't care what It cost, that he was determined to give his town the best to be had and that he appre ciated the greatness of his city to the extent that he would spend his last cent to put his gang on top. Fine. But Is he going to spend all that money? Not on your life. That isn’t saying that he wouldn't spend a lot of money if he knew that he was going to get what he bargained for. Since he can't get that assurance he naturally protects himnelf to a con siderable extent. AA Men Expensive. He goes m with a draft for a bunch of AA men. Now, they cost a lot of money. Any time that you take a man from that class you have to put up $2,500. Well, it’s cinch, of course, that a man must show something before he attracts the attention of the scout And the latter must turn in a pretty glowing account before he induces the bow to put his name at the bottom of the check. But the draft goes in. Say that the magnate secures four of these fellows There’s $10,000 Invested in ball play ers. His liberality is applauded. Then the team goes South in the spring time. The four fellows who cost $10,000 are among the passengers on the train. When the training camp ts reached they are watched carefully. Being touted as stars in a high-class minor league indicates that they should show considerable when they reach the majors. Instead, they are disappointments. Somehow or other, they fail to live to the expectations of the manager, and he Informs the owner that the re cruits won’t do. Back in the minors they are glad to get those fellows. For they were' whales the year before, favorites with the fans, and th*u sort of thing. Back comes a check calling for the same amount that the major magnate gave in the fall. Buying on Contingency. What did the deal cost the major league magnate? Just the expense of the recruit on the training trip. Just before the drafting reason comes on a bunch of youngsters are purchased. Frequently the price is $3,000 or more. The youngster hasn’t shown enough to make him stand out, but he is a bit too promising to take a chance on in the draft. Some mag nate wants him and he doesn’t want to run the risk of some other club drafting him. Neither is his hunch strong enough to justify him in pay ing a lot of cash. So he says he will give a small part in cash and the remainder will be paid if the player makes good. By that is meant that if the player remains with the major league team until a certain date In the following year. Of course, it goes into the estimates as a sale. But if the youngster fails to show then all that the major league magnate is out is the cash which he deposited at the time of the sale. So when the major league magnate goes down to Cincinnati and invests $30,000 in drafted players it doesn’t mean that he actually spent that much money to strengthen his team. It merely means that he tied up that sum for the privilege of trying out a large string of youngsters the next spring. The fellows he keeps will represent w'hat he spent in strength ening.. Some Cost Real Money. But don’t get the impression that all deals are conducted in that manner. Larry Chappell cost $18,000 in real money. There was a cash sum paid. John Beall went to Milwaukee. On top of that, President Comiskey prom ised a catcher to be delivered in the spring If that catcher doesn't suit, then the Milwaukee team may take In his place a specified sum of money. The point that is being made is that while $500,000 may be spent this year by major league magnates for minor league ball players, a large percentage of that sum is coming back to those same magnates when they begin to unload the undesirables next spring. Boxer Takes Up Golf In Training for Bout NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—A boxer who plays the royal game of golf Is some thing of a novelty even In these days, when the popular conception of a pro fessional boxer has ceased to be a low browed, crop-haired individual. But so far as is known, Bob McAllister is the first knight of the mitt to introduce golf as a feature of his training. During his preparations for his recent bout with Sailor Petroskey, McAllister spent some time each morning trudging over the links. He declares that he finds the game a pood substitute for the usual road work. H6U.0 MUTT, U/NfcY AR.C YOU MAoe up for? WHY SUlY HA*.

T HE world’s colored heavyweight championship match between Jack Johnson and Sam Lang ford, which will take place in Paris in December, has aroused sporting men in this country and Europe. Thou sands of people, who care very little about athletic contests, are also show- ing an intense amount of interest in the coming battle between the two rival negro heavyweights, who are in ternational characters. Johnson has always feared Lang ford and has turned down numerous offers for matches with the “Tar Baby.” He has claimed that a fight between two negro heavyweights would not be a financial success, but close followers of the ring game real ized that the real reason why Jo.hnson did not desire to battle Langford was because he was afraid that the hard hitting Cambridge negro would knock him out. The Galveston man fought Lang ford In Chelsea back in 1906. At that time Johnson was trying to forge his way to the front ranks of the heavy weight division. He was not consid ered a world-beater and when he was offered a bout with Langford he glad ly accepted it. Met Before in Chelsea. Sam was then only a welterweight, while Johnson weighed all of 200 pounds. Was it any wonder, then, that fight “fans” thought that John son would win easily? But he did not. For fifteen rounds Langford rushed at Johnson, swinging terrific right and left punches. He fought like a panther at bay and gave John son the hardest battle of his career. Johnson won the decision, but he was in poor shape when the bout end ed. The stalwart Johnson had had enough of Langford’s game and for seven years has turned a deaf ear to Sam’s challenges. Joe Woodman, Langford’s manager, has been undaunted. He has kept hi.-j battler busy in the ring and has al ways had in view a match with John son. His efforts have finally been successful. The writer does not believe that Johnson even now cares a great deal about fighting Langford. He is meet ing his old rival because he is “broke” and must have funds. Johnson About “Broke.” There are many people who believe that Johnson is worth many thou sands of dollars. They are mistaken. The only “big” money which Johnson ever made was when he fought Jef fries. He received $60,000 for his end of the purse when he vanquished the former heavyweight champion. He also got a $10,000 bonus, while he sold his moving picture privileges for $50,- 0-00, making a total of $120,000. Johnson made a little money on the stage, while he picked up a few odd dollars in minor bouts. His la^t bout with Jim Flynn was a financial bloom er and netted the champion but little money. Another reason why Johnson is fighting Langford Is because no pro moter would match him with a white man. They realize that the boxing game would be given another black eye if there were another such bout as the one that was staged in Reno, Nev., that memorable Fourth of July in 1910. Johnson Now on Stage. Johnson is now showing at music halls In Europe for a salary of $200 a week. This proves that he is in need of funds. The Johnson of 1910 would not show on the stage for a single day unless he was given $200. He Is now glad to get this amount for a week’s work. Johnson’s fortune has been spent freely. When he had money he spent it like a prince. Automobiles, lawyer fees, fines, forfeited ball, wine sup pers, clerk hire and traveling ex penses have made great inroads into the champion’s bag of gold. He has been spending his money lavishly while he has not been adding much to his bank roll. The betting on the Johnson-Lang- ford battle will probably be at even money. Langford will have many backers, but there will be thousands of “fans” who will argue that a good little man can never beat a good big man. Johnson, of course, Is well on In years. He is 36 years old, and it has been a long time since a heavy weight held the championship at that age. Jeffries met his Waterloo at Reno, when he wa-s 35 years old; Fitzsimmons started to go hack at the age of 34, Corbett was knocked out by Fitzsimmons at Carson City when he was 31 years old, while the mighty John L. Sullivan was flat tened by Corbett in New Orleans when he wa.s 34 years of age. Must Be in Shape. Ring history also proves that a heavyweight must keep busy in the ring if he is to remain in shape. Johnson has done very little fight ing in the past three years. His last bout wa.s with Jim Flynn at Las Vegas, N. Mex., a year ago last Fourth of July, and boxing experts who saw that contest declared that Johnson was In poor condition and that If Langford were in Flynn’s place he might have won the heavyweight championship. Eangford is now 27 years of age, according to the record book, though there are many who claim that “Ho Ho” is at least 30 years old. Sam has been fighting steadily since he was a lad of 15 years and has en gaged In over two hundred battles. He started boxing as a bantamweight, but, took on weight gradually and now weighs 186 pounds. This is eleven pounds more than Langford’s normal fighting weight. Joe Woodman declares that Lang ford will weigh 175 or 178 pounds when he enters a ring with Johnson. The extra weight on Langford Is not doing him any good. It is merely fat and has slowed him up a great deal. Griffith Will Use Many Port Siders WASHINGTON, Sept.. Barring, perhaps, two or three right-handed pitchers, it would not be at all surpris ing If the Washington pitching staff next season consisted almost entirely of southpaws. Clark Griffith has come to the conclusion that left-handed twirlers do not need as much natural ability to make good in the big leagues as do right-handers, and he figures that if the proper effort Is made it will be easier to find suitable material of this kind. He has instructed all his scouts to keep a sharp lookout for left-handed pitchers. He wants to pick up all of them that he can find, in the hope of getting three or four southpaws on his team by next season. “You have often heard it argued.” said he. “that left-handed hitters are not puzzled by left-handed pitchers, but you bet they are. There are a few left- handed hitters who hit southpaws oc casionally. but all of them must admit that they are handicapped under such conditions. “What is more, the right-handed hit ters are mostly helpless aguinst a left hander man who has anything. I want a whole staff of left-handers for mine in the future and I propose to scour the country from one end to the other for them.” RIGLER AGREES WITH MACK. Umpire Rigler agrees with Connie Mack that St. Louis will never have a winning ball club because the heat there is too severe to allow the players to do UkMi beet. Demarest Gets New Jap Billiard Expert CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. Ikujlro Ta rn ura, the champion billiard player of Japan, who recently arrived in this city, has signed a contract with Calvin De marest and for this season at least Ta- mura will be under the management of the local expert. Like his predecessor, Koji Yamada. the new invader does not profess to be an expert at balkline play, and he has come to this country for the purpose of perfecting himself in the modern game as played by the leading American pro fessionals. Demarest was convinced quickly that Tamura was an adept at straight-rail, and that he had a fine stroke, and for this reason he undertook to give the little Japanese player the benefit of his experience. Tamura has made a run of 2,000 at the straight-rail game with three balls on a 4t4 by 9 table, and at the four-ball game has gone as high as 4,000. Ta mura was born in Tokio thirty-six years ago. is 5 feet 7 inches in height and weighs 126 pounds. He started playing billiards when he wafe sixteen years of age, and for the last twelve years has been teaching the game in a Tokio room. DREW TO ENTER BROWN U. SPRINGFIELD. MASS, Sept. 6 — Howard 8. Drew, the negro high school student, present American champion sprinter at 100 yards, is to enter Brown U - it was stated here to-day. Drew is said to have passed his entrance ex aminations and will be eligible to com pete in track meets during his first yaar. FOR IE, SAYS PRES.BRITTON Magnate Denies Rumors Released in the East—Huggins to Lead Team Next Season, SATO BIG DEAL S T. LOUIS, Sept. 6.—The series of stories exploded In the East re cently concerning a general shake-up In the Cardinals, principally the ousting of Miller Huggins as man ager; the sale of the club by the Brit tons; the trade of Ed Koney, Harry Sallee and quite a few more of the players, were answered by President Schuyler P. Brifton upon hia return las* night. JHere ia what . President Britton said: Miller Huggins will be the 1914 manager. The club will not be sold and we are trying to get new players that will improve the team for next year. Unless we can make a satisfac tory trade for any players they will not be swapped. We are not giving away the few good players we own. Britton continued in his conversa tion, explaining how the many ru mors have sipread around the circuit, having the Cardinals the feature. “While we were in New York one of the papers,came out with a story that there was dissension In the ranks of the team,” .stated Britton. “I think the papers were trying to get Koney and a few more players from us. Then the most laughable story was that we were going to sell. Changing Managers Bad Business. “While we are very disappointed* a* the showing Huggins has made, he will not be dropped. Injuries handi capped Huggins and the team and he deserves more than one year. “Roger Bresnahan was in office four years, and barring 1911 was not a success. Changing managers every year will never get a winning ball club. Huggins will be In charge in 1914 and we will have many new players for him.” That the Cardinals could trade with every club in the league was men tioned by Britton, but no magnate was willing to part with anything that Britton thought would he at least an even trade. Especially the Giants, who, according to Britton, art willing to hand over nothing but ex tra ma f eriai for Koney, Hannon, Bai lee and a few more. Harmon for Bob Bescher. One trade is under way and it prob ably will be completed in a day or It is with the Cincinnati Reds and will send Bob Harmon to Redland in exchange for Outfielder Bob Bescher and Pitcher George Suggs. If It goes through, then the Cardinals will get one of the best outfielders In the Na tional League. Since mid-season Huggins has been dickering with Owner Herrmann, al ways centering his trade around Boh Bescher. A marvel of an athlete, a brilliant fielder, timely swatter and speed expert, Bescher would fit in snugly ir? the Cardinals’ outfield. But Herrmann always wanted what Huggins didn’t want to offer. At one stage of the summer Herrmann was willing to hand over Bescher. Hob- lltzell and Pitcher Suggs for Lee Magee and Ed Koney. But Hug spurned this exchange. He wanted Indian Johnson instead of Suggs and had the Reds' boss agreed to this the swap would have been completed. No* it turnu to Bescher and Suggs for Harmon, which is certain to give the Cardinals the edge. Club Is Not for Sale. “The biggest lie turned out.” con tinued Prexy Britton, “was that we are going to sell. Every lime I pick up a newspaper I read that we are going to get out of baseball. Now. there’s nothing to this Why should we sell? We want to give Ft. Louis a baseball winner and we can’t do t.iat If we sell tne Cardinals. “Thisi has been a bad year for us. but the many changes we expect to rnakf* for 1914 surely will give u« ait Improved bail club. We have bought m-anv p'n\«;rs and our scouts have roc ommended many more to be draft ed.” N EW YORK, Sept. 1.—People weil Informed on baseball, It Is said, have learned that the deal In volving Larry McLean In exchange for Otis Crandall, put through re cently by the Giants and Cardinals, was merely a blind by which the Giants could get McLean for a cash consideration without Involving a storm of adverse criticism on the part of the St. Louis fans. This Is given color by the fact that Crandall was turned back to the Giants for no immediate consid eration, it being announced that he returned for “cash and a player to be delivered when the Giants have the pennant cinched.” * * • D EOPLE connected with the New A York club have let slip the in formation that the Cardinals have been In a bad way financially this year and were in need of Immediate assistance. When the sporting editor of The St. Louis Times was in New York re cently he sat with Otis Crandall each afternoon at the Browns’ games. Crandall did not seem at all disturbed over being "traded” from a winning club to a tall-ender. Neither did he display any of the concern of a pru dent man at being dumped out of his chances for from $3,000 to $3,500 in the world's series. • * • IJ EMOVE that much money from the gaze of any athlete and he'd holler to high heavens, but Crandall was extremely cheerful. His attitude at that time seemed strange. The raising money part of the New York yarn we know Is straight. Re ports have been current to that ef fect among baseball people In St. Louis for some time. Papke to Try Again In the Squared Ring CHICAGO. Sept. Billy Papke, at one time champion middleweight, and who 1ms been living quietly at his home in Kewanee, Ill., the past summer, is to take another flyer at the game and also the title—that is, if he can make the weight. Billy had intended going back to Paris this fall for a match with either Frank Klaus or Georges Carpentier, but he has changed his mind and now savs he will remain in the States and grab off some of the matches in the Middle West. He Is anxious to meet Jack Dil lon or Eddie McGoorty. He has been working about the home all summer, doing light work in the gym. and says he Is in better shape now than he has been at this time of the year in several seasons. 17 Twirlers on Detroit Staff veteran piank r s Slowest Pitcher m Q> 0 © O O © © American League ‘Good Pitchers Needed’—Lajoie D ETROIT, 8ept. 6.—Seventeen of the 37 players the Tigers have on their roster are pitchers. For years the Detroit club has tK*n weak as to its pitching staff, ana President Navln and Manager Jennings have made up their minds that pitchers they must have. But pitchers are very, very hard to get and get good. Napoleon Lajoie turned baseball philosopher the other day and dis cussed some of the difficulties of a baseball magnate with a Detroit sport writer. Nap has never been a baseball magnate, but from his long experience as manager and player, he knows whereof he speaks Just the same. “Lots of people thought Barney Dreyfus was crazy when he paid $22,- 500 for Marty O'Toole recently,” re marked Lajoie. “I don’t know wheth er Barney paid that much in cash or not, but if Marty comes through for Pittsburg It was money well spent. If I were a club owner and had a pitcher offered me that I absolutely knew would be a star in the big league, I don’t think I would hesitate at pay ing $50,000. It would be money well spent, but I doubt if many club own ers will agree with me. Got Joss for Nothing. “But they spend the money Just the same in the effort, without getting the star pitcher. When I came to Cleveland Somers and Kilfoyle had Addle Joss. He had cost them noth ing and he proved to be one of the best pitchers and ball players the game ever knew. But after they got Joss they invested a good deal more than $50,000 In pitchers, without get ting another man equal to Joss, until Gregg was bought. See my argument? The average club owner will think nothing of paying anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 apiece for pitching recruits whom he hopes will make good. Nine times out of ten the money la thrown away, while the tenth time he may get only a fair pitcher. My contention is that If the opportunity is presented, a club own er should not hesitate about paying the price for a star. He’ll not only save money by not having to buy so many second-raters, but he will also make It up at the gate. “Go back through your memory. In ten years Cleveland has had two real star pitchers—Joss and Gregg. Chi cago has had Ed Walsh, and Walsh has been the one man to keep the White Sox out of the cellar. St. Louis has not had any. New York had Chcsbro and later on Russell Ford. Philadelphia had Waddell, Plank, Bender and Coombs. Washington has had only one—Walter Johnson, while Joe Wood Is the only one developed by Boston. Cy Young and Bill Dineen were stars at Boston, but they were stars before they Joined our league.

Rochester, N. Y. “I agree with Addle Joss when he said that pitching was the biggest part of the game. If I had had Vean Gregg to work along with Addle back in 1908, we would have played the Cubs for the world's pennant, but one star pitcher rarely wins a pennant, especially if that star Is a man who needs at least three days in between his games. Scarcity of 8tara. “Yes, sir, star pitchers are mighty scarce. You can go out and get the outfielders who can throw, bat and run bases; you can get the inflolders who can field with a lot of speed and hit fairly well, but you have got to go some to dig up two great pitchers in two or three seasons, to say noth ing of In one year. No use talking, but Philadelphia was lucky when It grabbed Alexander and Chalmers the same season and got them cheap, at that. “You say the club owning the star pitchers would not sell. Perhaps not, but If some of the magnates were to lump together the money they throw away iti buying pitchers promiscuous ly and were to offer It for one star pitcher, the magnate owning that pitcher would do a lot of thinking be fore he turned down the offer.” No Chance of Austin BeingTraded-Hedges ST.

BOSTON, MAS8., Sept. 6.—The slow est pitcher In the world has been dis covered. He Is Eddie Plank, the Ath letics’ veteran. Just for curiosity, and to settle an argument. The Times’ tele graph operator In Philadelphia held the watch on Plank when he pitched against the Browns in a recent series. After Stovall made a double he con sumed 30 seconds throwing the first ball to Pratt. This period elapsed after he received the ball from the catcher and before he delivered It to the hat. The next pitch required 25 seconds. Pratt hit this ball. In the same inning he took 25 sec onds throwing the first ball to Williams. Three pitches to Balenti required 28, 36 and 30 seconds. Plank pulls down his cap, hitches up his trousers, wiggles his left foot and buries It in the pitcher's box lik** an old hen going to roost. Then he carefully scrutinizes the bases and the outfielders, and by the time he gets around to pitch the batter Is half fid geted to death. That’s the system of his stalling—to get the other fellow over-anxloua.
