C HATTANOOGA, May 29.—Perry
was invincible yesterday, let
ting the slugging Lookouts
down with three hits and whitewash
ing them to the tune of 4 to 0.
For six Innings our big right-hander
didn’t give up anything that resem
bled a bingle. With two men out In
the seventh, Jud Daley singled to cen
ter for the first Chattanooga safety.
Caveny and Kitchens singled in suc
cession in the eighth, but Perry’s air
tight pitching prevented them from
scoring.
McCormick made a great running
catch of Jenkins’ long drive along the
right field line.
Clarke worked the last inning
against us. after Harding had been
taken out for a pinch hitter.
* * *
P> ETERS. a catcher, reported to
Manager McCormick yesterday
from Detroit, and was sent In to hit
for the pitcher in the eighth, popping
up weekly to short with two men on.
In the first inning Lee worked
Harding for a pass. On the hit and
run Williams pushed one Into right
field, Lee going to third With the in
field back, I hit into a double play, Lee
scoring. Another tally was pushed
over in the second, when Eibel sin
gled with one out, and went to second
on Perry’s out. Hack registered on
Lee’s double to left.
* * *
B OTH sides were blanked until the
eighth, when Williams reached
first on an error by Caveny, and pull
ed up at third on my double against
the left field fence.
Moran filed out to right, and Otto
and I both dented the home plate when
McCormick threw to the grandstand.
In the final game of the series Jim
Allen will serve the slants for the
Crackers, with Sid Smith behind the
bat.
Joe Mandot Is All
But Knocked Out in
Go With Red Watson
SUPERIOR, WIS . May 29 —Joe Man-
dot, the New Orleans lightweight, was
handed the surprise of his life by Red
Watson, the California battler, last
night, the coast boy winning all the way
In their ten-round scrap and having Joe
all but out at the finish.
Watson showed no fear of Mandot’s
blows and gave the Southerner a beat
ing he will remember for some time.
Red was the aggressor throughout the
fight, keeping on top of Mandot in every
round and seldom giving the New Or
leans boy a chance to get set.
Mandot tried his best to keep Wat
son off. but the latter would not be de
nied and spent most of his time hit
ting the French baker boy around the
body. Had the fight gone another round
Mandot might have been knocked out.

Says G. Herrmann
CINCINNATI, May 29 —Garry Herr
mann believes to-day that the time has
come for the .financial backers of base
ball to be careful with their steps.
Herrmann predicts that big league
dubs, with one or two exceptions, can
not continue paying present high saarles
to players
He says many long-term contract
holders face the alternative of accept
ing reduced saalries or seeing their
Club reach the place where it can not
pay its salary obligations.

Sleeps Like Baby After Bad K.O.
Herrera’s Punch Has Real Effect
‘ KNOCKOUTS I HAVE SEEN”
NO. 9.
By ED W. SMITH.
G OING back over the long list of
good lightweights that have
flashed by since the great days
of Jack McAuliffe, the first real cham
pion of the division under the Queens-
berrv code, I can recall no harder
puncher than a swarthy little full-
blooded Mexican boy named Aurelia
Herrera. w r ho came out of California
in the late nineties and cut a wide
swath for several years.
Herrera had his good points and
his bad. the latter, unfortunately, out
weighing the others, For instance, he
was a chap who was none too partic
ular about his training hetdos, and ns
result frequently was caught entirely
out of shape and beaten by men who
had no license to even match up with
him But he certainly could whale
with his right hand, and if he could
“take piV on an opponent the end
generally came quickly.
» * *
T HE Mexican was around Chicago
in 1904 and had several sensa
tional battles in that vicinity, but the
strangest of these easily was his bat
tle with Kid Farmer, a Chicago boy.
Herrera had a tremendous record and
was cordially feared by most of the
135-pounders. He had beaten suen
men as Tommy Cody, George Memsic,
Cyclone Thompson and Eddie Santry.
and it was hard for him to get
matches
Nate Lewis, now* managing ChaxW
White, had Farmer at the time, and
when the latter suggested a match
with the Mexican Lewis very frankly
told Farmer it wouldn’t do at all
“He can lick you sure.'' Nate said.
“Nobody can lick me." was the
s-ame retort: so. very much against
Nate’s judement and advice, the con
test was scheduled
Aurelia was a sleeny-looking little
fellow even under fire, but a close
look would reveal a whole lot of dan
ger lurking behind those dark eyes
of his. Farmer soon discovered this.
• * *
HEN the bell rang Farmer sailed
into the Mexican ’’ke a trolley
car running amuck. For two min
utes and a half he shot so many lefts
and rifhts in the direction of the
Mexican that it was impossible *.o
count them. Meantime the Mex was
merely guarding himself ,.nd looking
over the man In front of him. Farm
er was making what looked like a
sucker fight. That’s what It proved to
be. 3
Farmer paused for an instant to get
ja fresh start, and. like a flash, Her
rera shot out a right that caught
Farmer under the heart. He stiffened
up with a jerk, and then over went
the right to the jaw, flooring Farmer
cleanly.
The Chicago brv- took the full count
and arose Just as the bell ended the
round. Farmer walked to his corner
and during the minute’s rest seemed
to revive nicelv. But there was a wise
Old head handling him—Adam Ryan.
He knew all the indications, and Ju«it
before the second round was to start
he said quietly to Lewis:
“Throw in the sponge; It’s all off
with this boy.”
* * •
J UST then Farmer leaned his head
bark Into the an?!, of the ring
and went to «!eep a« peacefullv a s a
baby might have. They carried him
out of the ring and stretched him on
a door that had been taken from Its
hinges.
For exactly one hour Farmer slept,
on. His worried handlers called a
doctor, who made a hasty examina
tion and said there was no danger, as
his heart action was entlrelf normal.
Then didn't try to waken him at all
»t the end of an hour Farmer opened
V|(<s r>ypc and sst up.
tJa stprofl Around at the flock of
f r i#rd c tb»t surroun^^ him. robbed

Chalk ud another knockout victory for
Charley Anchowttz. better known in the
world of fisticuffs as Charlie White, the
far-famed kttockerout from Chicago.
This time it was Freddie Yelle who fell
a victim to the Chicagoan’s hitting
power Yelle was stopped by White in
three rounds at Boston last Wednesday
night.

Yelle is no newcomer to the boxing
game He has been fighting in and
around Boston for the past five years
A few weeks ago he gave Freddie
W'elsh. who parades around the coun
try as the lightweight champion of the
world, a stiff argument for twelve
rounds Yelle has also fought many of
the toughest lightweights in the couft-

Charlie is making good his vow that he
will follow Welsh's footsteps in every

Whether White wins the title or not.
no one can deny that Charlie is de
serving of the chance at Welsh's crown
over the 20-round route. Still Welsh
continues to dodge a meeting with his
worthy rival Just how long Welsh
hopes'to continue these tactics is be
yond us, but the public and :he fight-
loving fans should not be forced to
stand for this state of affairs.

If Welsh is the champion then let
him go out and defend his title If he
is afraid to do this, then by all means
he should be forced to relinquish all
claim to the honors The boxing game
doesn't need champions of the 'A elsh
type. He is hurting the profession, by
his unsportsmanship tactics and
ing the lightweight division to lo»*
much of its past popularity.

EX-CUB PITCHER IS DROPPED
TERRE HAUTE, lNt>., May 29 —
Leonard Madden, at one time a pitcher
for the Cube, to-day waa released by
the local dub.
By “Fuzzy” Woodruff.
T H^EY are evidently possessed of a
regular ball club in Louisville,
Ky . where the headaches come
from They are evidently supplied
with a pitching staff that would make
a Johnson, Alexander, Faber combi
nation seem as, undesirable a<* a refit
in the seat of your one pair of Palm
Beach pants on a red-hot day.
Louisville’s standing in the Ameri
can Association percentage column
doesn't indicate it. nor are big league
managers spending their spare hours
kicking themselves* because they
passed up the athletes on the Colonels’
pay roll. But the Kentucky city must
have the best ball club known since
the time the snake assisted Adam
and Eve in their famous put-out.
Else why the dickens is Scott Perry
wearing an Atlanta uniform during
the pastiming period every afternoo/i
(Sundays excepted, sometimes)? Mr.
Perry waa on the Colonels’ list of
hired men all of lant season. He
wasn’t given enough work to make a
paid-off printer tired This year he
was allow’ed to train with the St.
Louis Browns—which isn’t anything
strenuous In the way of training
Then he was hiked back to Lrouisville,
where warmed a bench and ate a
few r,e«ls at the ey^ense Of the own
er? of that clutj. and then he was
shipped to Atlanta.
* m * *
S INCE hts advent here, though, he
has hardly been idle He was al
lowed to pitch, and did pitch, about
as soon as the ink dried on his con
tract. Atlanta fans remember that
debut. He came mighty near to
starting with a no-hlt, no-run game.
Ab It waa, the heavy hitting Volun
teers were held to a single clean sin
gle. On Perry's next start he was
defeated in a ten-inning battle,
though he allowed but live hits In the
regular nine innings. A couple of
errors behind him told the story. And
yesterday he made his third start and
sat Chattanooga down without a run
and with but three hit*.
• * *
A LL of which shows that Louisville
has a considerable hurling corps.
American Association teams have
been seen more than once In these
parts, and If they are any faster than
the Southern League organizations
th difference is mighty small. But the
team that can give up the services of
a pitcher of Perry’s caliber has no
business in the American Association.
It ought Just to organize and then
wait for the big league seasons to end,
then make public their line-up and
win the world championship by de
fault.
* • •
■ X reference to the third Chatta-
1 nooga battle, it might be men
tioned that next to Perry’s pitching,
Blsland's biffing was the feature of
the engagement, from an Atlanta
point of view The Cracker captain
whaled the tar lights out of Mr.
Harding's offerings, which should
make him mighty popular in the
Lookout city.
For whist, gentle readers, Mr. Bis
land could hardly be elected Mayor of
Chattanooga without a dissenting
vote, all because he grew profane in
the first battle with the Lookouts.
Chattanooga chroniclers of the com
bat declare that Mr. Bisland was au
dibly profane and they scored him se
verely for his uncouth language and
Umpire Williams, at whom the an
athema was directed, for letting him
get away with It.
* • •
N OW, this is no defense of profani
ty. Wise men have declared It
useless Some have called It silly,
but golfers unanimously dissent in
this opinion. Anyhow, it Is forbidden
by league rules on the ball field, and
In violating that rule, If none other,
Idr. Bisland erred.
But If Williams was working the
same sort of a game In Chattanooga
that he worked In Atlanta on his last
appearance, Bisland might well have
been driven to strong language. To
play ball behind such umpiring and
not cuss a little bit Is as possible as It
Is for a hungry man to face free food
and refrain from feeding, or for a
cork stopper to slpk in Piedmont
Lake, or for a moving picture actor to
hate himself, or for a salaried mar-

A N Interesting study In psychology
is furnished by our friend, Attack
Eibel. There Is no more earnestly
ambitious athlete in the Southern
League, but he was crossed up by the
author of those excellent copy book
maxima, who wrote “Try, try again. 1 *
Hack has been trying. Hi* worst en
emy—and nobody knows of any—
could accuse him of not giving his
beet endeavors. Encouragement is
said to be a tremendous stimulant for
ball players to do deeds. And Eibel
has had that In huge hunks. But It
doesn’t seem to work In his case.
• • •
W HEN he started slumping the ball
players began patting him on
the back with predictions that it
w’ould be only a few minutes before
he was pounding the ball to every
comer of the field. The fans ware'
with him, almost to a man. In hfs
darkest hours they would whoop
things up w'henever he came to bat.
And if the truth be known, they
overdid the thing.
• • •
T HEY had Eibel trying so hard to
hit that he didn’t know' whether
he was on a ball field or in an aero*
plane. The harder he tried the worse,
he looked. But now there ha« beer *’
transformation In every game on the
road so far when hostile hoots re» i
place enthusiastic encomiums, h* hi*
not only been hitting, but hitting
when hits counted in the run column,
which is the only time that a hit is
w'orth a hang. Perhaps before his
return to Ponce DeLeon, he will have
sufficiently recovered his confidence
to disregard the deadly handicap of
having his fellow* players and the
faithful fans strong In hie behalf.
