0’Brien-Hirst and Underwood-
Budd Scraps Should Furnish
Plenty of Excitement.
K ID UNDERWOOD. Battling
Budd, Roy Hirst and all the
other boxers who take part in
next Wednesday night’s all-star box
ing card at the Columbia Theater
are reported to be down to hard
training for their scraps.
Promoter Saul has made it plain’
to all the contestants that he will
stand for no stalling, so that local
fans can rest assured that they will
see some interesting milling.
Two ten-round bouts, one six-
round affair and a four-round open
er are oh the card, according to Saul,
which means thirty rounds of boxing
in all. This should be enough glove
wielding to satiny the most rabid
boxing bug.
Yank ’Brien, who holds a k. o. vic
tory in one round to his credit over
Eddie Hanlon, will be Roy Hirst’s
opponent. The winner of this scrap
will get on with Jake Abel, of Chat
tanooga. a match both boys are anx
ious to land.
The Underwood-Budd ®et-to ought
to be a hummer. Underwood has
been after a match with this Budd
boy for some time, and now that
ne is to get the chance, it will be
interesting to see what the Nashville
lad is able to do acainst the battler.
A match against Kid Young is the
prize that awaits the Underwood-
Budd eo. Young has already con
sented to meet the victor.
Saul has not yet announced the
Times of the boys who will take part
in the six-round and four-round
bouts.
J. P. C.’s Overcome
Seven-Run Lead and
Bat Out Game, 17-9
A seven-run lead in the first Inning is
not enough to heat the Jewish Progress
ive Club baseball team. The Stewart
Avenue Stars rolled up this many runs
in the opening inning of their game
with the Progressives yesterday, but
they were beaten in a seven-inning con
test. 17 to 9. This is the seventh vic
tory of the season for the club boys.
Poor support and several timely hits
gave the losers their runs at the start.
Barron Asher relieved Zion in the sec
ond session apd from then on the Stew
art avenue te&m was helpless.
The Progressives pounded the hall
hard. I. Kaplan and I. Eplan were the
big stars, both at bat and in the /IHd
for the winners. Kaplan got three hits
and played grand hall around second. T.
Eplan’s work behind the bat was of a
high class. ,
Score by innings: R.H.L.
Stars 700 000 2— 9 11 4
.T. P. C.’ 049 400 0—17 18 5
Batteries: Quinn, Leathers, Lowry

*24 N. Victor Sanitarium. Atlanta. Ga.
By Perkins Prewitt.
C HARLIE STARR and his Little !
Rock bailers are here to do j
battle with the Atlanta Crack- i
ers. a four-day hostility to begin this j
afternoon at Ponce DeLeon.
Lindy Hiett may mount the mound
for the Crackers, but whether he does
or whether he doesn't, or whether Sid
Smith pitches, doesn’t particularly
matter.
Nashville comes to town after the
Little Rock series. And so now
• • *
T O quote from that alert typewriter
man who said, “Now is the time
for all good men to cqme to the aid of
their party,” by switching the phrase
ology we have: Now is the time for
the Crackers to shoulder their mus
kets and put somebody in retreat,
even if they retreat themselves and
hoist the white flag.
Years to the leeward, Atlanta was
reckoned ofte, two, three—a runner-
up always. Those were good old days,
then. There was plenty of paprika
and other condiments of ginger then.
They had fight in ’em then. But
* * *
TDROBABLY the 1915 Crackers were
not raised to be soldiers. Bill
Smith hasn’t yet warbled that sweet
refain. No. 6573, just out, I Didn’t
Buy a Ball Club to Finish Foot.” But,
although he is somewhat tacit, he is
thinking loud thinks.
There is but one alternative: It
will either be a blue Monday or a red-
letter day. Bill Smith’s habitat at
Ponce DeLeon has been more or less
a gloom house since games began to
count (considerably more), and. one
might think, managing to Bill has be
come a perfunctory job.
* * *
OOWEVER. the leader of the crum-
pled Crackers doubtless is con
cerned over Atlanta’s station in
Southern League society. Maybe he’s
watching and waiting, like our own
Woodrow W., but, as yet, he hasn’t
held anyone to “strict accountability.”
In sooth. Bill would erase the black,
board and start all over, say ‘‘Taln’t
fair and I am not going to play,” if he
could.
* * •
I T is positively sacrilegious to remind
' one that Atlanta is one of the best,
if not the best, ball town in the
Southern League. It is thoroughly
aggravating to see the city that Is the
creme de la creme of the South so
miserably represented.
If you ask yourself. “What alls the
Crackers 0 ” very likely you will an
swer. “Oh. everything.” Of course,
there are some bright spots on the
club. Erratic and inconsistent ball so
far has characterized Atlanta’s play
ing. If it isn’t poor pitching it’s poor
batting or poor fielding.
* * *
A CTING upon the suggestion of
President Baugh. Smith put Mr
Hackenschmidt Eibel back to first-
basing and Sid Smith to receiving.
What improvement Hack will be to
the club, if any, is debatable. You
may take either the affirmative cr
the negative.
*. * *
H ACK has been tee-totally blind
with his bat for quite some time
It was Mr. Baugh's opinion that if
Hack wasn’t a lemon with a great,
hie rind, he Mould round to form
quicker in the fray than by vacation
ing bn the bench.
So. if Eibel gets his eye on the hall
he will do quite handsomely. There
Is every reason to believe that Hack
will catch up his old-time stride,
which thus far during the season he
hasn’t struck.
Pick-Ups of Games
Played Yesterday
Of Mobile’s twelve hits, Hogg
and McGill had three each. This
half-dozen bingles contributed
greatly to Chattanooga’s defeat.
Stuffy Mclnnis’ nose was broken
by a pitched ball.
Larry Lajoie helped the Athletics
win with two two-baggers.
After holding Boston to one hit
in nine innings and three hits in
thirteen innings, Morton, of Cleve
land, weakened in the fourteenth
and was defeated.
The New York Yanks scored
four runs i : n the eighth inning
without a hit.

I NDEED, then, the baseball status
A in Atlanta is thoroughly provok
ing. It affronts no one to say that
in main inferior Southern League
pitchers have contributed largely to
the Crackers’ cellar berth. “Lefty" Al
len, heralded a pitcher above par,
weakened, wabbled and completely
collapsed in Saturday’s Lose No. 18,
while* Herbert Kelly, from Notre
Dam#, if you please, didn’t perform
with any especial credi^.
Last week’s nightmare gives ample
proof that there is a wide margin-
much wider than a church door—be
tween the Crackers and a real ball
club. The “gravest eventualities” may
ensue, if, indeed, the superlative de
gree may be employed in this refer
ence.

and dear as cherries in California. Of
course, it is entirely possible to ac
quire good pitching talent. And that
is what the Atlanta association de
clares it will do. If Perryman isn’t
available, another flinger with repute
other than ill will be brought to the
Atlanta bailiwick, the directors vow.

altogether. So
It's time—long after, in fact—for
the royal distribution of gold. Presi
dent Callaway has said he will take
from the family purse prodigiously.
We, all of us. want to see the color
of his money.
• • •
T HERE etui is a deal of anxiety sur
rounding the improbability of
Perryman’s acquisition. Branch Rick
ey, of the St. Louis Browns, as yet
has not cut adrift the former Atlanta
star. However, the chances seem good
for Atlanta obt&ining Perryman's
services But
During the interim—if Perryman
does come, or another of known di
mensions—the Crackers are deep
down in dire distress.
* • *
T RUE, little difficulty should be ex
perienced in properly disposing of
the Travelers the front part of this
week. But perhaps Charlie Starr’s di
lemma is as perplexing as William
Smith's. Measuring the percentage
distance, you note that the Travelers
are on a rough and rugged road, but
not lonely. Atlanta Is near by.
Atlanta must bolster, and at once
or else. This is a popping baseball
place You can’t quarrel with the un
sound mind population on that score
Atlanta’s attendance stands to 'the
front in the Dixie major.
Caution Remain neutral if you
can.

Browns Refuse to
Let Go of Perryman;
Smith After Players
It does not look as if Key Perryman
will wear a Crcaker uniform in the very
near future. Manager Bill Smith re
ceived a wire fro mthe St. Louis Browns
yesterday, stating that the poor condi
tion of the Browns’ pitching staff has
forced Rickey to hang on to Perryman.
Bill says he is burning up the wires
for a pitcher, as well as another infield-
er. “As soon as I land the players I
am after, things are sure to pick up."
said Bill this morning.
Gibson’s Offer of
$25,000 to Willard
Record for Short Go
NEW YORK, May 17.—Billy Gibson’s
offer of $25,000 to Champion Jess Wil
lard for a t**n-round bout in New York
during the summer, constitutes a rec
ord. No such sum has been guaranteed
boxer for a short distance contest,
and, unless the new champion proves
better attraction in the circus ring
or on the vaudeville stage, he may de
cide to accept the offer. Even with this,
Gibson 1h playing safe, as a ten-round
bout between Willard and Coffey at an
open air show this summer should at
tract a $75,000 gate.

PEACE.
Peace in baseball is merely a mat
ter of a fete days. Every member of
the National Commission wants
peace at. any price, and James Gil
more, president of the Federal
League, is willing to declare peace at
half that sum. In order to obtain
regular, honest-to-goodness statistics,
we have sent special correspondents
to strategic points. They report as
follows:
CINCINNATI, OHIO, May 17 (Spe
cial Correspondence).—Sam Scrape,
one of our leading tonsorial artists, in
terviewed Garry Herrmann to-day.
As Mr. Herrmann was climbing into
the chair, Mr. Scrape remarked:
“Would you like a haircut or a sham
poo or a face massage?"
“All I want from you,” replied Mr.
Herrmann, “is a shave and a lot of
peace.”
CLEVELAND, OHIO. May 17 (Spe-
cial Correspondence).-LH ugo Hair,
proprietor of the Barbers’ Bazaar, in
terviewed Ban Johnson, president of
the American League, to-day.
“Your hair is getting thin on top,”
said Mr. Hair, “and whaddya think
about the weather, and how do you
like the war?”
“I don’t th*nk anything,” remarked
Mr. Johnson, who had not consulted
Comiskey for several hours. “All I
want is a shave and a lot of peace.”
PHILADELPHIA, PA., May 17
(Special Correspondence).— I sad ore
Itch, one of our leading alfalfa anni
hilators, interviewed John K. Tener,
president of the National League, to
day.
“What,” asked Mr. Itch, as he strop
ped his razor, “is your opinion of
Pennsylvania politics? I myself have
been a Pennsylvania politician.”
“Put away your razor,” replied Mr.
Tener, rising in the chair. “All
want is a shampoo. I am for peace.”
CHICAGO, ILL., May 17 (Special
Correspondence).— Phidias Pompa-
pour, who officiates at the first chair
in the Elite Hirsute Emporium, had
occasion to interview James Gilmore
to-day.
“This baseball war is tough stuff,”
said Mr. Pompadour as he mutilated
Mr. Gilmore’s beaming countenance.
“I was a ball player before the war
broke out, and then I became a bar
ber.”
“You missed your calling,” replied
Mr. Gilmore, arising from the chair
and trying to recognize himself in the
glass. “You should have become a
butcher. I am for peace.”
Owing to the Athletics’ Wising
streak. Maek is going to put them
back into their old uniforms. We’d
bate to be as desperate as that.
Bill Phelon’s pet squirrel need have
no fears for the future. As long a&
Bill is in the vicinity the squirrel will
have plenty of food.
Billy Murray is just about the
toughest man in the middleweight
class. He hit Knock^mout Brown on
the head and escaped without a bro
ken arm.

Speaking of zero in sports, there
