Iordan was a great favorite here and ha* a host of friends: The hunting adventures of Otto Iordan, one-time second baseman of th , Atlanta ball club, and an old ball player, are causing considerable amusement to residents of Pittsburg's amith side. Jordan is a fine built man. weighing 190 pounds, and the picture of well-conditioned happiness and health. But as a hunter he has his 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 lived his usefulness on the diamond. Last season he started off with the Chattanooga club of the Southern League, but was later let out by “Kid” Elberfeld. manager. He later joined a «emi-pro team where he finished the season. Then Otto got to hunting and one day proudly displayed his 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 Bob Phillips to go hunting with him Saturday soon after the rabbit juried. They set out bright and early, and took to the woods. If was just fine for Jordan. All the •m'rning ho tramped blithely on. drag- ng yards and yards of tangled v nery after his big heels. Instead of Mpping his feet from the cumbering >• nes. he was just dragging them Cong in the flush of his strength. Scratch Out “Athlete.* But what a sad difference. Jordan u a few rabbits, and in the after- inn he also got the legache. He sat Own 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 Jordan’s feet: “There’s the consarned thing I don’t want it. Let It lay.” He walked off. After a hundred yards nr 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 wa* a very de mon for punishment. Jordan was out bright and early Monday morning with another party. This crowd spent a few days near Plainsville. Jordan did fairly well. He was getting aocli- mated. Hi* Hunting Dream. On the second day out, the crowd h *d the misfortune to have Jordan shoot a squirrel. It was a misfortune, hut not until that night did they un derstand why. Once in the house where they made their headquarters, Jordan was nomi nated to sleep in the same bed with Adam Dewalt, a veteran hunter of ’he South Side. He went right to ■Jleep He was tired; big men often do get tired after a day in the woods. H ut he got the nightmare. A thou sand squirrels were biting him.

Baseball Spread ‘Some Banquet’ +•+ +•+ +•+ Fine Scenery, Startling Speeches By O. 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 if- 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~ bail 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 De< orations constituted a large point on which Messrs. Lucullus et al. would have shown up feebly in comparison. The Hotel Ansley people \v, nt 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, plat ers' benches, board -ence, 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 cn one si le 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 dag and the name of a rioutherr League ball club, In the order of their finishing. And across the end of the ent.r ■ apartment was flung a great blue p -n- nant—"Champions 1913”—a gift from the Spalding Comp iny. It was some festive scene. ... S TARTING out with that much of an edge on the late M Lucullus, the rest of the comparison add* weight to our original contention Petronius very likely had mm” gifts in the art of toastmastering, on, 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 Kavanaug > and "Bob" Baugh, and Major Jock Cohen, and Mayor Jim Woodward, and Charley Frank, and Gus Ryan, and Charley Nunnally, and so fortn, BOXING News of the Ring Game. , and so on, and especially Ix>u Castro. * * * iy yAYOR WOODWARD was inspired to a most flowery address of welcome. Mr Baugrh was inspired to an amazing flight of Gasconades and 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 averted. “We said we were going to lick you. and von took it seriously. This man Callaway went out and got the Ad Men. and the Chamber of Commerce, and goodness knows what othor <dvic 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. 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 flnallv the speech-making got to be what might be called general, and I then Major Callaway, having put it off as long as he could, called on Lou Castro. What followed might be described I 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 bis breath, and half the re maining non-combatantH 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 his laudable efforts. But the night of December 15. and verging on the. mi Inijght hour. Count Luigi de Castro, of Central America and the Virginia League, made the speech of his checkered and hectic career R EALLY, it seemed a pity that ihe I late Mr. Lucullus was too late to i see h9«v it was done. Eddie Hanlon, the local welterweight, will not meet Jack Robinson a* Jack sonville. Fla.. tj-nighr. PUly hotz, manager of Hanlon, received a wire from Charley Leonhard*, promoter, stating that he would have to postpone the match to a later date. i^eonhardt laims that he couIJ not reach a satis factory agreement with Robinson. * • • Tills is certainly tough luck for Han lon, who has worked ten days for the scrap. It looks from this distance that Edr.ie should have heen notified before hand, so that Me could have saved the expense of training. Eddie snowed much class in his daily workouts and would have surely given .lack a tough scrap. • * * Chicago fans have made Charley j White an even money bet against Ad Wolgaat for their ten round bout in Milwaukee Friday night. Nate Lewis, •manager of White, writes that much noney is being wagered on the fight, as ti e 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 ln a ten-round go at New Orleans on Christmas Day. Both ring- men are contenders for the lightwf'gh* 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 ln Havannah yesterday offering him a bout with Frank Gaffney Christmas. Baker has wired bark for terms and expects to close the match in a couple of days. * * * Mickey Sheridan and Harry Donahue * ill 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.
