Jordan was a great favorite here and ’has a host of friends: The hunting adventures of Otto time second baseman of ' the Atlanta ball club, and an old ball layer are causing considerable .ornament to residents of Pittsburg’s -outh side. Jordan is a fine built man. weighing 190 pounds, and the jveture of well-conditioned happiness and health. But as a hunter he has ( h; 9 amusing qualities, and there is no gainsaying it. Jordan at one time was considered one of the best ball players in minor league company, but has about out- ved his usefulness on the diamond, bast season he started off with the Chattanooga club of the Southern League, but was later let out by Kid i Elberfeld, manager. He later joined a semi-pro team where he finished the season. Then Otto got to hunting and one dav proudly displayed his 1 Georgia license, In which he is styled athlete" on the line where the oc cupation of the person holding the license is noted. Because of his license and his fine, ! manlv appearance, he was invited by Boh Phillips to go hunting with him Saturday soon after the rabbit season opened. They set out bright and early, and took to the woods. li was just fine for Jordan. All the morning he tramped blithely on, drag ging yards and yards of tangled vinery after his big heels. Instead of slipping his feet from the cumbering vines, he was just dragging them along in the flush of his strength. Scratch Out "Athlete.” But what a sad difference. Jordan got a few rabbits, and in the after noon he also got the legache. He sat down time and again. Then Phillips demanded: "Let me see your Georgia hunting license." It was turned over upon demand. Phillips took a pencil, ran a line through the word "athlete" and returned it without a word. There was no comment from Jordan. While he was about it Phillips played it rather mean on his compan ion. Leaving Jordan sitting there, resting, he made a short excursion through the woods. He shot a rab bit. Returning he threw it down at Jordans feet: "There’s the consarned thing. 1 don’t want it. Let it lay.” He walked off. After a hundred yards or so. he looked back. Along trudged the patient Jordan, carrying the rab bit, just as Phillips intended him to. It’s an old trick, and it worked; let the tenderfoot carry the game. Jordan got home very, very tired. And Sunday he had cramps in his legs. But to show that he was a very de mon fur punishment, Jordan was out and early Monday morning ''itn another party. This crowd spent o f°w days near Plainsville. Jordan tirlj well. He was getting accli mated. His Hunting Dream. (, n the second day out, the crowd the misfortune to have Jordan ' 1 squ rrel. It was a misfortune, hut not until that night did they un derstand why. (,m ‘e in the house where they made | nPir headquarters, Jordan was nomi- p in the same bed with Adam Dewalt. a veteran hunter of tne South Side. He w f ent right to was tired; big men often do go; tired after a day in the woods. ’ ut he gut the nightmare. A thou- sand squirrels were biting him. The squirrel murder preyed upon his mind. , n h;s efforts to free himself, he drew ’ ghty right fist nml dealt Adam Dewalt a huge buffet on the * !de nf> the head, whereupon Dewalt ssavd to fly right through the side house. Tt took the whole party o comfort the dreamer, and the next aj it was far from a happy party. ^alt s fa-e was swollen and his te *th loosened.

By 0. 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 into the record with the unflinching state ment that the Twelfth Annual Spread of the Southern Association of Base ball Clubs, tendered by the Atlanta Baseball Association at the Hotel Ansley, was a Banquet, in the strict est Lucullian 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 de light when it burst upon the startled gaze of the expectant banqueters. The table, set for 40 guests, was In the shape of an immense diamond, inclosing a mimic Ponce DeLeon ball park—green grass, “skinned dia mond,” grandstand, bleachers, play ers' benches, board fence, advertising signs, *and all—and the players in the field. The scene evidently was of that memorable game between Atlanta and Mobile, when the attendance record went glimmering. There on one side was the Cracker line-up and score, and on the other was listed the plucky ball club of Mike Finn, that came so near to licking us. All that was within the tables. Around the hall were tall pillars, each surmounted by a flag and the name of a Southern League ball club, In the order of their finishing. Ami across the end of the entir3 apartment was flung a great blue pen nant—"Champions 1913”—a gift from the Spalding Company. It was some festive scene. * * * S TARTING out with that much of an edge on the late M Lucullus, the rest of the comparison adds weieht to our original contention. Pefronius very likely had some gifts in the art of toastmastering, but even if we should accord him an even break with Major Callaway we should have left an array, or perhaps a bat tery, of orators like Judge Kavanaugh, and "Bob” Baugh, and Major Jack Cohen, and Mayor Jim Woodward, and Charley Frank, and Gus Ryan, and Charley Nunnally, and so fortn, and so on. and especially Lou Castro. * * * M AYOR WOODWARD was inspired to a most flowery address of welcome. Mr Baugh was inspired to an amazing flight of Gasconades and I blood-curdling promises of what would happen to Atlanta next year, both in the matter of percentage and attendance, at the hands of Birming ham "You didn’t play fair this time,” he asserted. "We .said we were going to lick you, and von took it seriously. This man (’aliaway 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 Frank out of this league.” Judge Kavanaugh as serted. "This afternoon, on the mo tion of Mr. Callawav, we created the office of second vice president, and we f>ut Mr. Frank in it—and we’re going to keep him!" * * * T HEN Mr. Frank talked, and finally the speech-making got to he what might be called general, and then Major Callaway, having put it off ns long as he. could, called on Lou Castro. What followed might he 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 a rainstorm de layed the game, and was presented with diamond cuff buttons for hia laudable efforts. But the night of Derpmber 15, and verging on the midnight hour, Count Luigi de Castro, of Central America and the Virginia 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 lily 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. * * * R EALLY, it seemed a pity that the late Mr. Lucullus was too late to see how it was done* BOXING Fnnn for Sport Faisk News of the Ring Game. 1 UUiy A Lnv 1 V/lvl I ado —.— —ly GEORGE E PM A1R.| Eddie Hanlon, the local welterweight, will not meet Jack Robinson at Jack sonville, Fla., tonight. Pilly Lots, manager of Hanlon, received a wire from Charley I^eonhardt, promoter, stating that he would have to postpone the match to a later date. Leonhardt Haims that he could r :ot 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 Fdc.ie should have been notified before hand. so that he could have saved the expense of training Eddie show, d much class in his 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, us 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, has been matched to box Fred die Welsh in a ten-round go at New Orleans on Christmas Day. Both «*ing 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 n 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. « * • Mickey Sheridan and Harry Donahue will don the padded mitts for a sched uled 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 kelly took second honors after giving Frank a merry race. Meyer Pries—also ran. • • • Danny Morgan writes from New York that Battling I^evinsky is sure to be the next heavyweight champion of the world. Although Levinsky weighs but 170 pounds. Morgan says he is by far the classiest big fighter before the pub lic to-day. Danny wants to get Le vinsky on with the winner of the Pelky Smith bout in San Francisco on New Year’s Day. * * * Efforts are being made by the Na tional Sporting Club of London to match Georges Carpentier and Gunboat Smith for a 20-round engagement. Dick Burke, promoter of the club, has made an offer of $10,000 for the battle. Deschamps, managpr of Carj>entler, is willing to have his man meet Smith. XMAS RATES Reduced over N., C. & St. L.
