like a little champion,
Pappas, the wonderful
bantam, stopped Kid
of Nashville, in the
eighth round of a scheduled ten-
round bout at The Georgian News
boys’ Club last night. The blow that
put Underwood away was a ripping
left to the solar plexus tha-t was as
pretty a knock-out blow as we have
seen in a long while.
Underwood, in defeat, was far from
a disgraced boy. His ga men ess was
remarkable, and he fought hard from
the start until the finishing blow
landed.
Never before have Atlanta fans
witnessed such a piece of fighting
machinery as this 114-pound Pappas
boy. His wallops are all hard and
timely, and his eleven ducking ability
is a big treat.
The boys fought mostly at long
range for the fir9t three rounds, with
Pappas having a shade on points. In
the fourth round both boys lost their
heads and swung wildly in tne cen
ter of the fing. They showed in this
round that they had little love for
each other.
The remainder of the battle was
one continual swatfest, with Pappas
slowly but surely beaming down his
heavier foe. Finally, in the eighth
cession, after the boys broke from
a clinch, Pappas suddenly let loose
a terrific left to the solar plexus.
Underwood was sent ('lean off his feet
to the canvas, out cold. The blow did
not travel more than six inches.
Pappas and Underwood deserve
much credit for the battle they put
up. Underwood proved that he is as
willing and as game a fighter as we
have around here. As for Pappas, too
much can not be said for this little
Jellow. It will take a Kid Williams or
a Kid Herman to beat him.
Five hundred fans packed The
Georgian Newsboys' Club room to
witness the mill. They wefe well re
paid for tneir trouble. The rival bat
tlers were given a great hand at the
finish.
Boys’ High Defeats
Peacock-Fleet, 20-6
In a slow same, ilavoid of sensation,

tory over Peadock-Fleet, 20 to 6.
In the first quarter Boys’ High, aft
er securing the ball on a fumbled
punt, about fifteen yards from the
goal line, scored a touchdown. From
then until the last of the third quar
ter they were unable to score.
Jim Vaughn Defeats

BELLINGHAM. WASH., Oct. .11.—.Tim

teries—Cole and McAvoy; Vaugn and

Meeting at Madison Square Gar
den Most Interesting in
% Boxing History.
N EW YORK, Oct. 31.—The match
between Freddie Welsh and
Ad Wolgast, which takes
place at Madison Square Garden No
vember 2, brings together two of the
most unique figures in the ring, and
In more ways than one does the
champion of the world and the for
mer champion stand out prominently
in the history of the ring.
Neither boxer has ever been
knocked out. Welsh lost his English
crown to Mat Wells on a decision,
and Wolgast was dethroned by
Ritchie on a foul. The lightweight
champion is the only man to lose a
title and win it .baifk again, having
outpointed Mat Wells for the Eng
lish championship and tlie Lord Lons
dale belt after losing it.
Wolgast is probably the greatest
aggressive lightweight that class has
ever seen, not barring the Durable
Dane. He met and defeated the best
men in his class until he lost the title
on a foul to Ritchie after undergoing
a serious operation. It was only after
one of the greatest battles In ring
history that Wolgast won the title
from vNelson, winning over the Dane
in the fortieth round.

MONG the other returning wan
derers from the Big Tent is our
old friend Milton Reed, of the
Phillies. Milton blew In the other
day. and under a slight cross-exami
nation unbosomed himself of some
opinions concerning the result of the
late World Series, which left the Ath
letics and a whole mess of alleged
sport experts flat on their backs,
chirping feebly for first aid and ice
water.
Following is Milton’s dope, in a
nut-shell you might say, seeing the
column it is in.
• • •
B RIEFLY, Milton says it was Hill
James did it. We had am im
pression that Rudolph was there, too,
and, that Hank Gowdy was hovering
around in the neighborhood, and MJk
agrees'with all that/and chucks in J.
Evers and Rabbit Maranville for good
measure. Then he comes back to
William James and explains.
• * *
«T HE Athletics were sort of look-
* ing for Rudolph and his slow
curve to beat them,” says Milton, “but
they certainly counted oh romping
with James and his fast one. They
can hit speed, under normal condi
tions, and when the big boy came
through with a game that made them
look like bushers, geting only one real
hit and not a run, it busted them wide
open and took the starch out at them
him enough to find ’em out, too. For
one thing, he is a trifle wild. That
may not sound like an asset until you
get up in front of that human gatling
gun with the knowledge that he may
let one slip accidentally that will take
your bean off. Apologies don’t help
after that—and you can bot that no
man living is going to crowd the
plate and stick his cleats in the
ground when Big 1 1 is cutting loose,
lie is just wild enough to keep
thoughts of the hereafter in a bat
ter’s mind—and that takes up some
of his attention, you bet.”
• • •
ASSET NO. 2, says Milton, is a
** corking spitter, ovy which Bill
has fully as much control as a fast
one.
“When you have that big wolf three
and two,” says Milton, “don’t kid
yourself that he’s going to shoot up a
groover. It starts like It. 11 right,
but every time—by what I’ve, seen—
he w'hips that spitter straight up the
groove and when you swing it simoly
ducks, and you wall: back to tne
bench. That’s all. I had him in the
hole a dozen times last season, and
every single time the last pitch was
a terrific spitter—and it made me look
i ty sick, mostly. I imagine the
Athletics felt that way, too.”
Of Old Cubs, Schulte Is left p “
Other Stars Have Scattered
ary wildness, and a spitter that
he dares to shoot in the pinch. Well,
and that sounds as reasonable as any-
for the rest of the journey. They thing we’ve heard yet -and it cer
never had a chance after the seconjj
game, when Plank’s one-run perform
ances wasn’t good enough to win.”
* • *
J7 AT A enough. That sounds plausi-
* ble. N v ow Mr. Reed will explain
how James did it—for it’s a cold fact
that the Athletics ordinarily are fond
of fast pitching.
• ♦ •
GDfLL JAMES has two big assets
^beside* mere speed,” says Mil-
ton. “Goodness knows I batted against
S O tY
tai
tainly is first-hand information. Mil-
ton will continue his study of Mr.
James’ style next season, when, under
Pat Moran, he takes u~ his work in
the Philadelphia infield, for which he
was carefully groomed this year.
Hit I don’t believe I will ever get
1 split er, when
the count Is three and two.” says Mil
ton. “It’s a stock saying that the
pitcher Is in the hole at that stage,
but not Bill James. The hatter is Ml
the hole, and that’s a cold fact.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.—Jimmy
Clabby will not box to-day in prepara
tion for his battle with George Chp next
Friday night. This will ba his second
layoff. Manager Larney Lichtenstein
gives ks an excuse that he does not
want to send Clabby too low down in
the weight scale until shortly before
the match. ^
Chip donned the gloves yesterday for
six rounds, three apiece with Jim Cam
eron and Joe Chip.
Even money continued to rule on the
forthcoming struggle, with the announce
ment that then- was Clabby money on
1 and. This probably means that. Clabby
will be a slight favorite.

will decide the football championship of
the South Atlantic States will be staged
hern to-morrow.
The Washington and Lee team will
meet the Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
The meetnig between these two old
rivals is always fraught with intense
interest and a good game is always
played.
BOXERS IN LATEST DANCES.
SAX FRANCISCO, Oct. 31.—Harry
Wills and .Tim Cameron, a pair of negro
heavyweights, did the Castle walk, the
tango, the hesitation and eyery other
kind of a dance last evening at Dream
land Kink. They had been billed to box
four rounds, but there was not enough
boxing in the 12 minutes to make either
of them draw a long breath. Referee
Jack Grace awarded the decision to
Wills.
CONFIDENT OP VICTORY.
MOBILE, ALA., Oct. 31.—Howard
College eleven, of Birmingham, will go
on the field at Spring Hill this after
noon confident that they will annex a
victory, although Coach Resijac, for

well for what he thinks will be the
Jesuits’ finest gridiron battle of the

NOTES
Our old friend, -Mr. J. Red Carlisle
Smith, is now achieving the noteworthy
feat of operatir.g a brand-new motor
car with one foot, which you might say
is some feat, in spite of the singular
skill required for such a performance.
4* 4- 4* |
One of the most prominent features
in the wake of the late World Series
is the aching void that usually is filled
with conversation anent Home Run
Baker’s ability to hit one whenever the
situation required it.
4* 4* 4*
In place of the same we now are heaY-
5ng bewildered comments on the work
of one Hank Gowdy. “He’d he some
catcher,” is the opinion, ”if he only
could hit a little.”
4* 4* 4*
Red Smith says Hank has been hit
ting ’em just as hard all season as he
did in the big series, but he was hitting
in the toughest possible luck- right at
somebody. Too bad that circumstance
got his goat when It came to the show
down—what?
4* 4* 4
Now the Feds are after Nap Lajoie
for manager of some team in that
league Are the Feds completely with
out modesty? Even Walter Johnson is
not safe from their seductive advances.
Funny how the old. old Cubs are
showing up as they dribble away from
the grand old machine. Here are Tin
ker and Evers, both stars and one a
successful manager, with other clubs—
and they were merely cogs in that old
Cub machine. And now Pat Moran,
who was a second-string catcher In the
halcyon days of 1907 and ’08. is to man
age the Phillies. Evidently, the Cubs
used to be some ball club.

William Vandercammen, a Chatta
nooga prep school player, hate been j
signed by the Browns. We’ll bet that
Mr. Vander-etc. never will get all of his
monicker in the box scores, although he
may deliver the goods in large bun
dles.

It is noted that business was sus
pended in Columbus. Ohio, during tke
reception tendered Mr. II. Gowdy on his
return to his home town. There also
was something very like a suspension of
business among the Athletics when Mr.
Gowdy was touching all the bases in
the recent turmoil.

The report that Connie Mack will per
mit Eddie Collins to Dave the Athletics
to manage a ball club of his own is not
nearly so unlikely as It would have been
one year ago to-day. If Eddie tries his
hand on the Yanks—but let us not tram
ple on the already downtrodden.

F RANK SCHULTE, the Cubs’
outfielder, who is still breaking
up ball games with home run
wallops In a pinch, is the only mem
ber of the famous “Cub Machine” still
wearing a Chicago uniform. Of all
the players of the team in 1906 which
was pronounced the greatest team in
history. Schulte alone has managed to
bear up under the Jinx that put the
rest of the men out of the organlza-
tlon.
Do you remember the lineup of that
world's championship machfne? Look
it over again:
Slagle, center field.
Sheckard, left field.
Tinker, shortstop.
Chance, first base.
Steinfejdt. third base.
Schulte, right field.
Evers, second base
Kling, catch.
Brown, pitcher.
Reulbach, pitcher.
Hofman. utility.
Slagle, who led off that famous bat
ting list, was rapidly lost to base
balldom. He Is out of it forever.
Sheckard has dropped to the Amer
ican association.
Joe Tinker virtually started the
Federal League and heads the Chica
go Fed club.
Frank Chance's bright star is wan
ing rap<d!y. It looks as though he is
about through as manager of the
Yankees.
Bteinfejflt. who dropped from the
top of the heap to the bottom so sud
denly, died the other day.
Evers is doing wonders for the Bos
ton Braves, a peppery man as of old.
Kling, the marvel, no longer adorns
the diamond. He runs a billiard hall
in Kansas City.
Old Ed Reulbach is with the Brook
lyn Nationals, but is not at his best
by any means.
Mordecai Brown, the “three-fin-
g'-red” twirier, is with the Brooklyn
Pederals, after failing as manager in
St. Louis.
Artie Hofman is frolicking about
second base with the Brooklyn Feds
under Bill Bradley.
Of that illustrious, fear-inspiring
machine Schulte alone is left. Frank
still is playing good ball, but it was
not so ve^y long ago that he was
taken out to allow another to bat for
him. a silent message that the end is
drawing near for one of the brightest
stars of the baseball firmament, the
man who has mdd^ more home runs
In the big leagues than any other
and who once was adjudged the most
valuable man in the National League
and at one time considered the best
in the world.
