THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. The Tenderfoot Tosser Isn’t Made for Diamond Patli, Which Is Strewn With Thorns SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT Copyright, 1913 International New# Service. By Tad Paulet to Leave Mobile; Snede- c0 r, Montgomery; Agler, At lanta; Abstein, Memphis. S OUTHERN I.EAGUE fans will a regiment of new first basemen next year. The 1913 ^loriy has almost been depopulated, and in their places will come a bunch new faces. Mick Coyle, the Chattanooga first sacker and Bill McGilvray, of Bir mingham. are the only ones now on the come-back lists, unless Indeed It be Kutlna, of New Orleans. Be It said furthermore, that McGilvray “slowed" considerably last year, and It is by no means certain that he will be in the Southern next season. Chattanooga fandom is divided over Coyle. Everybody likes him person ally Some of them are convinced that he's the best all-round first baseman in the Southern League, others aver that his crippled hand makes him erratic on thrown balls and slows the infield more than his t.tnely hitting at intervals helps the dub. * * * CO far. no intimation of Manager c McCormick's intentions has been j received, but it seems a safe bet that Coyle will return unless an opportu- | nity offers itself to get somebody who s “mighty good” to take his place. He could not be waived out of the league, furthermore, and will not leave the circuit even if he departs ! from Chattanooga. As for that mat- j :er, it is not certain that Coyle will not retire from the pastime. Mrs. I Coyle is fond of the Arkansas farm, I and he gets more and more in the I humor of quitting every season. Bill Schwartz has definitely an nounced his intention of managing ! from the bench at Nashville, and Ar- ! lie Hofrnan will not stay in the i Southern. Hence it seems that a new man will inevitably be seen on the i Nashville team’s initial cushion. Just who he will be depends on coming trades, as he was not provided for i ;n drafts or purchases. There is a hunch prevalent in Nashville that j ho new man will be Kraft, the hard hitting first sacker who finished the | reason with New' Orleans and was I drafted by Brooklyn. There is no chance for him, of ccorse, at Brook lyn. against Jake Daubert. * * * ATLANTA sold Joe Agler to Jersey * * City, where the star fielding first sacker of them all can pull down a i higher emolument. In his place Smith I iias bought Eible, a Saginaw (Mich.) I husher, who is said to he something I swell. Mique Finn didn’t w f aste a week | announcing in Memphis that Bill Ab- ein must travel, and the ivory one I will doubtless seek a lower class I league. The Irishman is trying hard • land Gene Paulet for his place, hut I nasn’t succeeded just yet. Finn has Dunkel, a busher, from Muskegon, | Mich., who will be tried out. Sncdeeor was drafted from Mont- d Bobbie Gilks has named | no successor for him as yet. 1‘aulet will refuse to report to Mo le as the atmosphere of that city Hb weakened him physically. In- | Bris Lord has hitched onto alhoun, the collegian. The Pelicans may persuade the re fractory Kutina to report. Kutina wouldn’t go to New’ Orleans with 1 rank after being traded thither last 'ar. but may be willing to play un- ler the new management. | Offers $20,000 for Smith-Langford Go k AN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.—Jim Ruckle;., manager of Gunboat Smith. f*"cived from ITomoter Robinson, of ■< n offer of $2*0,000 for a j n ateh between Smith and Sam Lang- I ford.

Beer Will Spend $10,000 on Ball Park e -I- e *;* v«v ve*r v • v Concrete Stands in 1915—Maybe By O. B. Keeler. T HE spring cleaning of the Atlan ta. Baseball Association is ga in? to be quite expensive out at Ponce DeLeon Park. The total cost, the directors esti mate. will be about $10,000, and will include the following items: A netv fence, all around the field. A new smoker, for the negro fans, built on an angle off from the east ern end of the present smoker, around near where the "Bull” sign stands. New’ braces for a great part of the old stands. Painting the whole works. * * * A LL that in addition to tlie usual work of getting the turf in con dition for baseball, surfacing and “tuning up” the diamond and infield, and ail that sort of thing. Truly it has been remarked. “The life of a baseball magnate is one blank thing after another.” You may fill in the blank yourself. % * * C T. NUNXALLY has another id .., • however, and the other direc tors are thinking it over At a recent conference, while f 'ie subjec t of improvements and repairs were being considered. Mr. NunnaUy advanced the opinion that it might be taking time by the well-known fore lock to spend just as little money ;i3 possible on only necessary repairs tlm coming season, and then spend a real bunch of coin on a big concrete stand the year after. • * • uW/fi’VE got to do it some time— W that's a cinch,” said Mr. Nun- nally. “Attlanta’a outgrowing the present plant, and. moreover. Atlanta deserves a regular concrete affair, the same as most of those in the big leagues. Birmingham has a first- class plant, patterned after Forbes Field, in Pittsburg, but it has the same fault as Forbes Field—the stand is too far away from he scene of ac tion.” . Further discussion agreed that the Atlanta idea would be more on the Cleveland plan, or Shibe Park, home of the Philadelphia American Leaguers, constructed more near y straight up in the air. instead of sloping rapidly away from the dia mond. * * * T HE next stand for Atlanta ought to seat about fifteen thousand, was the general opinion. That would be rather larger than the Dubs' stand jjj Chicago, and would make a fine, commodious park for many years to come. * * * B UT of course all tl- t is very muon in the air at present, and it is a huge undertaking, only to be ap proached with much can 1 and plan ning. It would be impossible to build a new plant before next season, and so the directors are merely thinking the idea over carefully. In the meantime, the old park w.i have to be dolled up a bit, though it doesn't look so bud, at that. Federal Magnates Lay Plans for 1914 PITTSBURG, Dec. 2—The magnates of the Federal League here here yester day and much important business was transacted. Acting President John A. Gilmore, of •Chicago, presided. The p'ans for uni form grandstands and ball pai ks. on which a corps of experts, have been working for some time, were submitted. Mach franchise holder was also required to put up an additional $5,000, this mak ing $15,000 each team has in the league treasury. . .. _.. . Because Pittsburg and Kansas < ity teams own their own grandstands, they will only be required to put up $*>.000 in all. while the other magnates will be required to put up twice that sum. The franchise of the Pittsburg team was officially transferred to a company head ed by John G. Barbour, a millionaire stockholder. Ned Hanlon, of the Baltimore team, gave the presidents of each team a heart-to-heart talk In regard to players for the coining season. Practically every plaver on the St. Ixiuis American League and St. Paul American Associa tion teams, is reported to be ready to sign Federal League contracts. Packey McFarland to Marry Joliet Girl PITTSBURG, Pec. 2 It was learned here to-day that Packey McFarland, the pugilist, is engaged to marry Miss Mar garet Loughran. of Joliet, Ill. The news came here in letters to friends and for mer classmates of Miss Loughran. Hie time of the wedding was not mentioned in the letters, but it is expected that it will occur within the next two or three months. Miss Loughran Is a graduate of the class of 1P04 of St. Mary's Col lege, Notre Dame. ENGLISH POLOISTS CHALLENGE. LONDON, Dec. 2. -The Hurlingham Polo Club to-day forwarded a challenge to the American Polo Association for a senes of cup matches in 1914. / Jess Willard Meets Morris in Gotham Fight To-morrow NEW YORK, Dec. .2. —Jess Willard and Carl Morris, the two foremost heavyweights of the white race, will settle to-morrow night in Madison Square Garden the matter of supremacy between the pair. 'The bout is scheduled to go ten rounds, but both promise a knockout. The State Boxing Commission, which meets to-day. has been advised 'by the interests which put Willard in bad lo cally to lift the ban on the giant cow puncher. Willard was put outside the pale by the Queensberry Athletic Club, of Buffalo. He failed to fulfill a match with “‘One Round” Davis. At the Insti gation of the Buffalo club. Willard was indefinitely suspended. The Bison City Association, however, has Just agreed to waive its case, provided AVillard fulfills his contract with “One Round” ‘Davis in the near future. A squabble has arisen over tlie referee question. Promoter Billy Gibson lias se lected Billy Job for the office. Mor ris doesn’t like the selection and asks that Charlie White be the third man. There will be a powwow to-day in Billy Gibson’s office to straighten out the tangle. Yost Gets No Credit For Army's Victory WEST POINT, N. Y.. Dec. 2 -The success of the Army plays used so suc cessfully by the Army against the Navy last Saturday was not the outside coaching, according to a statement is sued to-day by the Army Athletic Council. Coach Fielding II. Yost, of the University of Michigan, the state ment says, spent but one day at West Point, and did not assist Lieutenant C. I) Daly, head Army coacn. The state ment says: “Much has been said in the newspa pers In the last few days In regard to the assistance given to the coaches of the West Point football team by Mr. Fielding H. Yost. The facts in the case are: “in 1908 Mr. Yost did actually assist in the coaching of the Army team This year he arrived at West Point in the afternoon of November 25 and left in the evening of November 26. -The state ment that he was in any wav connected with the eoach^g or training of this year's team is absolutely without foundation. As a result of his visit not one single play was added nor was any change of even the smallest Importance made.” Dundee Is New Lightweight Star +•-!- Italian Has Proved His Class CUNNINGHAM GOES TO KANSAS. ATHENS, Dec. 2.—Coach W. A. Cunningham, of the Georgia football and baseball teams, l.'ft yesterday for Kansas, where he will spend the winter with his two children, who are there. Cunningham will return to Athens early in March in time for the spring baseball training, By Left Hook. D ID the reader ever hear of Joseph Carrora, a fighting na tive of Sharkal, Italy? No? Yes. he has if he reads the sporting pages. Carrora travels under the name of Johnny Dundee and is the latest sensation among the light- eights. The Americanized Italian, by gelling something of an edge over Charlie White in the newspaper ver dict at Ne\k Orleans last Thursday, leaped right up among the boys who are s<*rambiing around trying to land j a match with Champion Willie Ritchie. White has been in line for a crack at Ritchie for some weeks. Milwaukee clubs have been bidding for the match. Now Dundee has in an astonishing and sudden manner stepped right out into the spot where White stood, and it is possible that he may beat Joe Rivers to a colli sion with the only lightweight cham pion California ever has had. White Not Disgraced. Before we plunge any deeper into this Dundee narrative we wish to say that we do not consider that Charlie White has been disgraced at all. Dundee deserves great credit for his victory, all right, no matter how small the margin. But not much censure is coming to v White. Prob ably he simply had a bad night. We are one among those who would be Induced to give him an even break against Dundee in another tussle. In fact, the upset may help White, when we come to think it over. Char lie has been getting rusty the past few months because many of the good lightweights have refused to meet him They did not care to take a chance of getting hit with that left of hi» Charlie’s consequent in activity no doubt has shunted him off hi» boxing stride. White evi dently has been out to finish his men quickly in his few recent conflicts and has neglected to box carefuly, a little thing he knows well how to do. He’ll come back, all right, hav ing learned his good lesson in the combat with the Dundee chap. But to get back to the Dundee per son. He is but twenty years old and ha9 lived in New’ York since his boy hood. He started boxing In 1910. this being his fourth season as mitt flinger Monteith Picks a Name. Scotty Monteith. one of the shrewdest of ihe New York cotorie of managers, took Young Carrora under his wing after looking him over intently in ^ few of his early flights. Scotty is a genuine Scot himself and halls from Dundee, too. He realized the name Carrora would never do for a topnotch fighter such as he hoped to make of the lad from Sunny Italy. So he named him after his home town of Dundee and picked out John, a good fighting name, as his front monicker. Carrora since has made the name Dundee famous in the ring and Montieth may take him over some day to show the folks in Scotland. Dundee fought fourteen four-round bouts in New’ York’ and Brooklyn in 1910 and was credited with the shade in all of them, so Monteith writes. He was extremely hilsy In 1911, box ing no less than 45 times without getting a real licking Among his opponents w’ere Mike Malia, Frankie Fleming. Kid Goodman. Young Mc Govern, Young Packey Hommey. Ed die Sherman, Young Brown, Tv Cobb, Tommy Houck, Young Shugrue, Young Cohen, Young Ketchell. Harry Tracey. Bobby Reynolds and Tom my O’Toole. That’s a mighty rough outfit to tackle. Lost to Charlie. Last year he battled nineteen times ns a featherweight with only one decided reverse. That was an artis tic trimming at Syracuse. N. Y.. handed him by the same Charlie White who boxed him Thursday in the South. White gave Dundee a dandy licking that night and sent him back to New York in bad shape. Among Dundee’s other 1912 foes were Eddie O'Keefe. Young Wagner. Kid Julian, Packey Hommey, Patsy Kline. Matt Brock, Johnny Kilbane (ten rounds no decision, in New’ York). George Kirkwood, Harry Thomas and Pal Moore. Another hard gang to handle Kilbane shad ed him, but Dundee did better against the champion than with White. Dundee hustled to the coast at the start of the 1913 boxing season He got into two scraps with Jack White, Charlie's brother. In the first he won the decision after 20 rounds and in the second he stopped Jack before the limit. He also stopped Frankie Conley. Then Tom McCarey sent for Cham pion Kilbane, Dundee being held as the logical challenger for the feather weight championship. Dundee topped off all his previous good work by holding the champion to an even break. Another Kilbane match was a cer tainty in time had Dundee stuck with the feathers. But, sad to relate, h^ outgrew the class. John took a shot at Tommy Dixon on July 4. at Al buquerque. Recently he laced Mat Brock at New Orleans. Then came the White fight of last week. So look out for Dundee, you light weights. He’s only 20. weighs about 130 and is still growing a bit. He'll be big enough for Ritchie before many months have passed. Dundee has proved his class, and is entitled to serious consideration HARVARD ATHLETE TO WED. CAMBRIDGE. MASS., Dec. 2. An nouncement was made to-day by Mr. and Mrs. Galen L. Stone, of Brook line. of the engagement of their daughter, Margaret, to Huntington R Hardwick, the Harvard football player. •‘THE OLD RELIABLE 1 Black Planters BuAC k C ir c XAPSULES R E M E DYfor M E N AT 0RUGGI8T8 0R TRIAL 10X BY MAILBOb FROM PLANTEN 93 HENRY8T BROOKLYN.NY. j -BEWARE OF IMITATIONt — \
