SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT Copyright, 1913 International News Service By Tad 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.

BRINGING UP FATHER By GEORGE M’MANUS THI^ BUILDl^K, deai?^ TV^ n^ CNCH academt all The Wi-^e MFN OP F 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.
