By (). B. Keeler. A FTER .solemn deliberation, ex tending through the few re maining hours of Monday night, we reached at sunrise Tuesday morning the conclusion that the af fair might properly be termed a Ban quet. We had been brought up to regard the Banquet era as having passed with the time of Lucullus. Ordinari ly, we still believe that that precept holds good. But we desire to get strongly inio the record with the unflinching stab - ment that the Twelfth Annual Spread of the Southern Association of Base ball Clubs* tendered by the Atlan a Baseball Association at the Hole: Ansley, was a Banquet, in the strict est Hucullian and Epicurean sense of the term. * # * T HE Mural Decorations constituted a large point on which Messrs. Lucullus et al. would have shown up feebly in comparison. The Hotel Ansley people went the limit of ingenuity, and evolved a plan that was greeted with whoops of <1 - light when it burst upon the startled gaze of the expectant banqueters. The table, s<?t for 40 guests, was m the shape of an immense diamond, inclosing a mimic Ponce DeLeon bill park—green grass, “skinned dia mond," grandstand, bleachers, play ers’ benches, board ence, advertising signs, and all—and the players in fie field’ The scene evidently was of tin memorable game between Atlanta a ad Mobile, when the attendance record went glimmering. There t<n one side was the Cracker line-up and score, and on the other was listed the plucky ball club of Mike Finn, -that -came sc near to licking us. All that was within the tables Around the hall were tall pi .ar.-, | each surmounted by a flag and ’• I name of a .Southern League hall club, in the order of their finishing. And across the end of tin en'- r anartment was flung a great blue u- nant—“Champions 1913”—a gift from the Spalding «'em my. it was some festive scene. * * * CHARTING out with that much >f ^ an edge on the late M Lucullui the rest of ihe comparison adds weiehr to our original contention. Petronius very likely had some gifts in the art of toast mastering, oin even if we should accord him an even break with Major Callaway we should have left an array, or perhaps a Ur- | terv of orators like Judg f • Kavanaug • and' • Bob" Baugh, and M«J° r j Cohen, and Mayor Jim Woodward,, and Charley Frank, and Gus R>an. , and Charley Nunnally, and so forte. , and so on. and especially I.ou < astro. , * * * M ayor woodward *’ as umpired | to a most flowery address of j I welcome.

This man Callaway went out and got the Ad Men. and the Chamber of Commerce, and goodness knows what other civic bodies, and ’’ Well, and licked Mr. Baugh, and Baronville, if the “crool” truth must out. But wait till next year, Mr. Baugh pleaded. * * * T HIS being agreed to, Judge Kava* naugh made a fine and feeling address concerning the Southern League and his association with Southern baseball, and took occasion to deliver a pretty tribute to the stal wart service and sterling value of Charley Frank. “We don’t want Charley Prank out of this league.” Judge Kavanaugh as serted. “This afternoon, on the mo tion of^Mr. Callaway, we created the office of second vice president, and we put Mr. Frank in it—and we’re going to keep him!” * •* * T HEN Mr. Frank talked, and finally the speech-making got to be what might be called general, and then Major Callaway, having put it off as long as he could, called on Lou Castro. What followed might be described as a cataclysm, an upheaval, an out burst. or a deluge. Before the Count had been speak ing three minutes Charley Frank’s neighbors were hammering him on the back in an effort to help him catch his breath, and half the re maining non-combatants were shed ding tears of pure delight in their coffee. The Count has made speeches be fore. Once, to our certain knowledge, he entertained a crowd in the Mem phis ball park while n rainstorm de layed the game, and was presented with diamond cuff buttons for his laudable efforts. But the night of December 15, and verging on the midnight hour. Count Luigi de Castro, of Central America and the A’irginia League, made the speech of his checkered and hectic career. • • • R ehearsing bits of that inimit able address would be in far worse taste than touching up the Illy with whitewash or spreading the gilt on 24- carat suspender buttons'. Count Castro spoke, and the car nage was frightful. He continued to speak until the more portly auditors turned from a delicate cerise com plexion to a royal purple. Then he stopped, and as soon as the cheering could be quelled the meeting broke up. K LvVLLY. it seemed a pity that the late Mr. Lucullus was too late to see how it was done. . ..... . . T, » I l V I TV Vl^ll I , will not meet Jack Robinson a‘ Jack sonville, Fla., to-ingtr. PiJiy Lot z, manager of Hanlon, received a wire from < barley Leonhardt, promoter, stating that he would have to postpone the match to a later date. Leonhardt claims that he could r:oi reach a satis factory agreement with Robinson. * * * This is certainly tough luck for Han lon, who has worked ten days for the scrap. It looks from this distance that Eddie should have hern notified before hand. so that he could have saved n.e exnense of training Eddie snow, d much class in Ids daily workouts and would have surely given Jack a tough scrap. * ♦ Chicago fans have made Charley White an even money bet against Ad Wolgast for their ten-round bout in Milwaukee Friday night. Nate Lewis, manager of White, writes that much money is being wagered on the fight, as , the boys have many admirers in the “Windy City.” * * * Johnny Dundee, the Italian with the Scotch name, who was credited with a shade over Charlie White Thanksgiving night, lias been matched to box Fred die Welsh In a ten-round go at New Orleans on Rhrlstmas Day. Both ring- men are contenders for the lightweight crown and should put up a rattling bat tle. * * * At last Frank Baker has found a boy who has mustered up enough courage to step into the same ring with him. Frank received a wire from a promoter in Savannah yesterday offering him a bout with Frank Gaffney Christmas. Baker has wired back for terms and expects to close the match in a couple of days. * * v* Mickey Sheridan and Harry Donahue will don the padded mitts for a sehed- uleTT ten-round set-to at Kansas City Friday night. They have agreed to weigh 133 pounds at 3 o’clock. Frank Baker finished first in the tango dancing contest among several of our local boxers. Mike Saul and his green kell\ # took second honors after giving Frank a merry rare Meyer Pries -also ran. Danny Morgan writes from New York that Battling I.cvinsky is sure to be the iipxi heavyweight champion of the world. Although Levinsky weighs but 170 pounds. Morgan says lie is by far the classiest big fighter before the pub lic to-day. Danny wants lo get. Le vinsky ori with the winner of the Pelky- Kmith bout In San Francisco on New Year’s Day. Efforts ere being made by the Na tional Sporting Club of London to match Georges Carpentler and Gunboat Smith for a 20-round engagement. Dick Burke, vpromoter of the club, has made an offer of $10,000 for the battle. Deschamps. manager of Carpentier, Is willing to have his man meet Smith. XMAS RATES Reduced over N., C. & St. L. Ry. and W. & A. R. R. Apply any Agent. SCRAPS. They advertise the windup as n fight beyond compare, 1 titbit for the boring fans, a mor sel rich and rare. They never say a word about 'fhe wild and willing gents Who clout each other on the jaw and pull down 50 rents. They never say a word about pre liminary guys Who muss each other's features up and black each other's eyes. But when the prima donnas fight they loaf ten rounds or so And never muss each other's hair or hit a healthy blow. They stall around amt capture all the coin l he re is in sight. And leave it to the poor prelims to show th| crowd a fight. Few changes will be made in either of the St. Louis teams this winter. They are in good shape aside from the fact that they need several pitch ers and catchers and infielders and outfielders. SAVED. W e tore Charlie Murphy— In fact, always have. He hasn't an equal At spreading the salve. Oh. how could the writer Crist without Chast This column would wither. And o would the grass. Jimmy Sheckard’s dope reveals the fact that in addition to seven other National League teams, Joe Tinker had to play against the Reds and Garry Herrmann. Reports from Boston indicate that Old Battling Redeye won a decision over Joe Walcott. We are astounded at Mr. Murphy's complaint that the hotels in Ireland were cold. We thought there was always hot air in Charlie's Immediate vicinity. If Governor Tener succeeds in pacify ing the National League he will make Elihu Root look like a bush league paci fier. The report that Jack Johnson's skull was injured in a motor accident leads Red Sox and Reds in Ante-Season Gaines one to believe that it was a terrific bump. As we understand it. Ad Wolgast is the world’s champion claimant to the world’s lightweight championship. NAMES. He is known as Wildcat Murphy when the papers print his j mime, And you'd think hr teas a lad of warlike habit. But when a fellow fighter lands upon his manly frame He is scarcely as ferocious as a j rabbit. He is known as Wildcat Murphy in\ the world of fistic strife, j Bui the Wildcat and the Murphy j both are phoney. For when he quits the ringside and returns to private life He bears a name that sounds like macaroni. Tommy Murphy is another ambitious athlete who claims Ritchie's title. It Is j said that his claim is taken seriously by ! his manager and himself. TRADES. Behold the baseball magnates as they j make their winter trades; They hang around a gilded bar long after daylight fades. They trade a lot of stories and they trade a lot of jokes; They trade a lot of repartee and trade a lot of smokes: They trade a lot of ancient tales that give a man the blues. And then they trade a bank note fori another round of booze. One of the greatest known tests of control is to throw a baseball in the vicinity of a National League meeting without hitting a wine agent. If .limy Sheckard succeeds in get- ling his unconditional release from <‘in-j cinnati it will make him feel not un like a man getting out of jail. BOSTON, Dec. 1.6.—The Boston Amer icans and the Cincinnati National League teams will play two ante-season games in Cincinnati April 11 and 12, it was announced here to-day. Only five of the thirty or more players on the Bed Sox reserve list have signed for next season. These are Wood. Wagner, Gardner, Carrlgan and Foster. Jack White Knocks Out Memphis Boy MEMPHIS.
