S OUTHERN I £ AGUE fans will
? re a regiment of new first
— basemen next year. The 1913
colony has almost been depopulated.
, n a in ihetr places will come a bunch
of now faces.
Hick Coyle, the Chattanooga first
.acker, and Fill McGilvray, of Bir
mingham, are the only ones now on
. hP come-back lists, unless indeed It
be Kutina, 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
■■Co. Everybody likes him person
ae Some of them are convinced
• ca- he's the best all-round first
baseman in the Southern League,
i libers aver that his crippled hand
makes him erratic on thrown balls
nor] slows the infield more than his
mely hitting at intervals helps the
club.

(TO far. no intimation of Manager
^ McCormick’s intentions has been
received, but it seems a safe bet that
i uyle wjI! return unless an opportu
ne offers itself to get somebody who
:p 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-
ter, it is not certain that Coyle will
re from the pastime. Mrs.
Coyle is fond of the Arkansas farm,
and he gets more and more in the
humor of quitting every season.
Bill Schwarts has definitely an
nounced his intention of managing
from the bench at Nashville, and Ar-
tie Hofman will not stay in the
Southern. Hence it seems that a new
man will inevitably be seen on the
Nashville team’s initial cushion. Just
who he will be depends on coming
rades. as he was not provided for
:n drafts or purchases. There is a
hunch prevalent in Nashville that
•he new man will be. Kraft, the hard
hitting first sacker who finished the
season with New Orleans and was
drafted by Brooklyn. There is no
chance for him, of course, at Brook
lyn. against Jake Daubert.

LA NT A sold Joe Agler to Jersey
City, where the star fielding first
saoker of them all can pull down a
higher emolument. In his place Smith
has bought Elble, a Saginaw (Mich.)
busher, who is said to be something
swell.
Mique Finn didn’t waste a week
announcing in Memphis that Bill Ab-
:i must travel, and the ivory one
"‘H doubtless seek a lower class
>auue. The Irishman is trying hard
land Gene Paulet for his place, but
‘■n't succeeded just yet. Finn has
i'unkel. a busher, from Muskegon,
M. di who will b' tried out.
Snedecor was drafted from Mont
gomery, and Bobbie Gilks has named
no successor for him as yet.
Paulet will refuse to report to Mo-
b!l“. as the atmosphere of that city
has weakened him physically. -In
stead. Bris Lord has hitched onto
Calhoun, the collegian.
The Pelicans may persuade the re
fractory Kutina r to report. Kutina
wouldn’t go to New Orleans with
Prank after being traded thither last
v *ar. but may be willing to play un
der the new management.

Will Spend $10,000 on Ball Park
Concrete Stands in 1915—Maybe
By O. B. Keeler.
T HK spring cleaning of the Atlan
ta Baseball Association is go-
in r to be quite expensive out
at Ponce DeLeon Park.
The total cost, the directors esti
mate, will be about $10,0^0, and will
include the following items:
A new 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 stand*.
Painting the whole works.
• t •
A LL that in addition to the usual
work of getting the turf in con
dition for baseball, surfacing and
“tuning up” the diamond and infield,
and all 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. NUNN ALLY has another idea,
• however, and the other direc
tors are thinking it ove:
At a recent conference, while the
subject 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 aa
possible on only necessary repairs tlm
coming season, and then spend a real
bunch of coin on a big concrete stand
the year after.
...
<i\Y/SrVE to do It some time—
W that’s a cinch," said Mr. Nun-
nally. “Aitlanta's outgrowing ih 3
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 *he
same fault as Forbes Field -the stand
is too far away from the scene of ac
tion." . .......
Further discussion agreed that the
Atlanta idea would be more on the
Cleveland plan, or Shibe Park, home
ef the Philadelphia American
Leaguers, constructed more neary
straight up in the air. instead of
sloping rapidly away from the dia
mond.
* * *
T HK next stand for Atlanta ought
to scat about fifteen thousand,
uas the general opinion. That would
1>p rather larger than the <’ub?' stand
jn Chicago, and would make a fin*,
commodious park for many year* to
come.
• • •
B UT of course all tl~-.t is very muen
in the air at present, and it is a
huge undertaking, only to be ap
proached with much care 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 will
have to be dolled up a bit, though it
doesn’t look so 1 -d, at that.
Federal Magnates
Lay Plans for 1914
PITTSBURG, Dec. 2.—The magnates
of the Federal League met here yester
day and much Important business was
transacted.
Acting President John A. Gilmore, of
Chicago, presided. The plans for uni
form grandstands and ball parks, on
which a corps of experts have been
working for some time, were submitted
Each franchise holder was also required
to put up an additional $5,000. this mak-
Ing SIB.000 each team has in the league
treasury. . __
Because Pittsburg and Kansas city
teams own their own grandstands they
will only be required to put up 525.000
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 coming season. Practically every
player on the St. Louis American
League and St. Paul American Associa
tion teams, is reported to be ready to
sign Federal league contracts.

Jess Willard Meets
Morris in Gotham
Fight To-morrow
NEW YORK, Deo. 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 Willard fulfills
his contract with “One Round" Davis
In the near future.
A squabble haa arisen over the referee
question. Promoter Billy Gibson has se
lected Billy Joh 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
WERT POINT, N. Y.. Dec. 2.—The
success of the Army plays used so suc
cessfully b3’ 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 H. Yost, of
the University of Michigan, the state
ment says, spent but one day at West
Point, and did not assist Lieutenant C.
D. Daly, bead 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 II. 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 28 The state
ment that he was in any way connected
with the coacl^g or training of this
year's team .s 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
*j*tT v#*!*
Italian Has Proved His Class
CUNNINGHAM GOES TO KANSAS.
ATHENS, Dec. 2.—Coach W. A.
Cunningham, of the Georgia football
and baseball teams, !. ft yesterday
for Kansas, w’here he will spend the
winter with his two children, who are
there. Cunningham will return to
A1 hens 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
getting something of an edge over
Charlie White in the newspaper ver
dict at New Orleans last Thursday,
leaped right up among the boys who
are scrambling around trying to land
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 best Joe Rivera 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 w ish 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 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
I take a chance of getting hit with that
I left of his Charlie's consequent in-
! activity no doubt has shunted Mm
[ off his boxing stride. White evl-
i dently has been out to finish his men
j quickly in his few recent conflicts
I $ind has neglected to box carefuly,
| a little thing he knows well how to
I do. He’ll come hack, all right, hav-
[ ing learned his good lesson in the
j combat with the Dundee chap.
But to get back to the Dundee per
son. He is hut twenty years old and
hwLs lived Jn New York since his boy
hood. He started boalng In 1910, this
being his fourth season as a mitt
fllnger
Monteith Picks a Name.
Scotty Monteith, one of the
shrewdest of the New York cotorle
of managers, took Young Carrora
under his wing after looking him
over intently in a few of his early
flights. Scotty 1s s 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 T 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 busy In 1911, box
ing no less than 45 times without
getting a real licking. Among hts
opponents were Mike Malla, Frankie
Fleming. Kid Goodman, Young Mc
Govern. Young Packey Hommey. Rd-
die Sherman, Young Brown, Ty 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.
T^ast year he battled nineteen times
as a featherweight with only one
decided reverse That was an artls
tic trimming at Syracuse, N. Y.,
handed him by the same Charlie
Whit© who boxed him Thursday In
the South. White gave Dundee a
dandy licking that night and sent
him back to New York in had shape.
Among Dundee’s other 1912 foes were
Eddie O’Keefe, Young Wagner, Kid
Julian, Packey Hommey, Patsy
Kline. Matt Brock, Johnny Kilban©
(t«n rounds, ho decision, in New
York), Georsre Kirkwood, Harry
Thomas and Pal Moore. Another
hard gang to handle Kllhane shad
ed him, hut Dundee did better against
the champion than with White.
Dundee hustled to the coast at the
start of the 1913 boxing season He
trot into two scraps with Jack White,
Charlie's brother In the first he won
the decision after 20 round® and in
the second he stopped Jack before
the limit. H© also stopped Frankie
Conley.
Then Tom McCarev 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 ever!
break.
Another Kilban© match was a cer
tainty in time had Dundee stuck with
the feathers. But, sad to relate, he
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.
