VETS GO SOME
L OCAL tennis cracks were much
in evidence yesterday at the
opening of the Cotton States
Championships, held this week by
the Atlanta Athletic Club on the clay
courts at East Lake. The veterans
performed as per schedule, winning
with, great Regularity, so far as net
results are concerned. But the
“young idea” supplied some fast and
brilliant tennis, and made their elders
extend themselves at all points.
Harry Hallman, in particular, after
losing an easy first set to Bryan
Grant, pulled himself together and
the next act went to 10-8 in a spec
tacular struggle that again and again
aroused applause among the specta
tors.
Another much-deuced set was the
second between H. J. Hall and T. M.
Wilson, won by the former 11-9. The
victor led all the way in the first set,
but his opponent instituted a style of
his own in the second and worked
out one of the tightest sets of the
day.
Carleton Smith was an easy winner
over J. K. Orr, Jr., 6-1, 6-2. In the
two matches of the second round,
played yesterday, D. H. Starr beat
E. R. Black and Bryan Grant defeat
ed Floyd Parks.
Following is the summary of re
sults in the opening round with the
schedule of to-day’s play, beginning
at 2:30 o’clock. An admission fee of
25 cents is charged, and the tennis-
loving public of Atlanta is invited to
attend.

Ad Wolgast’s Ring Career Ends
+•+
His Day of Power Vanishes
By H. M. Walker.
A d WOUGAST denies that he in-
tends to retire, but, in all prob
ability, ;*The Dutchman” will
soon have dropped as completely out
of the bright and hearing of the box
ing world as has that other great
lightweight veteran. Battling Nelson.
In the parlance of the game. “Wol-
gast is through.” The finish of Ad’s
professional career has been has
tened. In the ordinary run of events
he should be holding the world's 133-
pound championship.
The operation for appendicitis in
1911 cut down the little fellow’s stam
ina and left him but a shadow of his
former fighting self. Then, too, in-
late years Wolgast has “gone the
pace.” He touched all the bases while
playing the “wine, women and song”
game and grew slow and Indolent.
Utter disregard of training ‘duties
was another factor in sending this
wonderful little fighter to a back seat.
In his losing bout with Willie Ritchie,
the two battles with “Harlem” Tom
my Murphy and Labor Day’s tame
affair with young Azevedo it was ad
mitted by Ad th^t he had not re
spected training camp rules.
• • •
YY7 OLGA ST’S ring performances
W should be carried in the record
book for the next hundred years to
come. It is doubtful if we will ever
again have a lightweight champion
so ready, willing and durable as the
Cadillac lad.
Just as Jim Jeffries in his prime
laid low the heavyweights, man after
man, so Wolgast cleaned up the 133-
pound division. Ad was a terror to
the promoters, naming his price and
getting it, but he asked no favors.
The tougher his opponent the harder
Wolgast fought, and no legitimate
contender for the championship was
ever refused a match.
• • •
W OLGAST won his title In one of
the most vicious and stubbornly
contested battles known to the history
of the Queensberry game.
At Point Richmond, on the After
noon of February 22. 1910, he stood
for 40 rounds—40 rounds of savage
and pitiless milling — against the
Dane, Battling Nelson, whipping Bat
at the latter’s own game—endurance.
In the end Referee Eddie Smith
stopped the contest to save- Nelson
from needless punishment.
It -was a clean-cut victory, and no
champion ever had a more honest
right to his crown than did the "Mich
igan Wildcat,” as Ad was then called.
* * •
D URING the first half of the year
1911 Wolgast olaced himself in
the open Vnarket and as champion
defended his laurels against practi
cally every top-notch lightweight in
America.
Not once was Ad guilty of picking
a “set-up.” He worked for the Phila
delphia, New York, San Francisco and
Dos Angeles promoters and in each
Instance the promoters were allowed
to name his opponents. In reaching
for these the magnates picked the
cream of the 133-,pound class.
♦ * •
A FTER his two no-declslon bouts
with the then respected Easterner,
“Kayo” Brown, the champion worked,
in his best form, scoring knock-out
victories over his five most dangerous
challengers.
The hard-hitting and tigerish Bo
hemian boxer. George Memsic, was
stoppel in the Vernon ring in nine
rounds on March 17, 1911. Two weeks
later Ad took on Anton Lagrave in
San Francisco, knocking out his man
in five rounds.
Less than a month later Wolgast
had returned to New York, trained
one short week and scored a two-
round knock-out over “One Round”
Hogan. At the end of another month
he had recrossed the continent and,
after a hard 17-round bout, sent
young Frankie Burns to the canvas.
Ad followed by knocking out Owen
Moran in thirteen rounds.
* * •
T HE following fall the appendicitis
operation disabled Wolgast and
he has been “going back” ever since.
“Cherokee” Tom Jones is author
ity for the statement that Ad has
siaved $100,000 from his earnings,
which ran over the $240,000 mark.
There is no reason why Ad should
ever enter the ring again He will
always be respected for what he has
accomplished and his path lead^ in
but one direction—retirement.
FODDER FOR FANS
The Phillies amassed thirty hits in
their double-header with the Braves yes
terday. Becker, who played only in the
first game, led in the swatting by pol
ing out five safeties in six trips to the
plate.
• • •
Cravath, of the Phillies, who took the
batting leadership in the old league
away from Daubert, of the Dodgers,
further increased his lead yesterday,
getting four hits out of eight times
up. Daubert went hitless after four
trips to the plate.
• • •
Although his team will not finish bet
ter than in the second division, this
season promises to be the most success
ful financially that Charles “Holiday’’
Ebbets, owner of the Dodgers, has ever
experienced.
* * *
Through the medium of a couple of
semi-official openings of the 1913 sea
son at his new ball park and one offi
cial opening. Ebbets garnered a trunk
ful of gold and silver. During the early
part of the season his club was “fuss
ing” around first place and the tran
sient crowd of fans in that section for
sook the Giants battlefield ami inhab
ited the Ebbets stadium, adding more
lucre to Ebbets’ pile.
« * *
After the team started to skid, Charles
“Holiday” lived up to his nickname by
declaring a half dozen holidays at bis
ball yard, each one bringing a nice re
sponse at the turnstiles.
• • •
With his surplus from this year’s
earnings, Ebbets has promised to bolster
up the team and give Brooklyn a full
season pennant contender next year.
• • •
The Phillies, by handing a double de
feat to the Braves yesterday while the
Giants were taking a single contest fr<*m
the Dodgers, gained a half game and
are now seven and one-half games be
hind the leading New Yorkers.

Who says Frank Chance, manager of
the Yankees, isn’t a strategist? Two
months ago he informed PUeher Cald
well that he had lost the knack of pitch
ing, and in future would have to assume
the role of outfielder. Chance’s an
nouncement caused Caldwell to beg for
another chance in the box. He got it
And since then the slim gentleman has
been pitching just about the best brand
of ball in the American League, not even
excepting the wonderful Walter John*
son.
Caldwell has won something like five
out of his last six stafts. most of them
being small hit affairB. He shut out the
Senators yesterday, allowing them only
four hits.
* * *
The Pirates and Reds split a double-
header yesterday, the Pittsburgers tak
ing the first game by a score of 15 to 2
but losing the second, which was called
on account of darkness in the sixth in
ning, by a score of 2 to 1.

“Big Jim” Vaughn, formerly n Yankee
twirler, is doing a very successful “come
back” with the Cubs. He pitched his
third successive victory for the Chica
goans yesterday, defeating the Cardinals
5 to 3.
