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
tight field line.
Clarke worked the last Inning
agalnet us, after Harding had been
taken out for a pinch hitter.
* * *
T> ETETRS, a catcher, reported to
* Manager McCormick yesterday
from Detroit, and was sent in to hit
for the pitcher in the eighth, popping
up weakly 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
©coring. Another tally was pushed
aver 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
* A ft
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. /
Baseball Salaries
To Suffer Big Cuts,
Says (j, 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.

LJODGES' team of the Senior 5:15
A Class won the second game of the
business men’s championship last

noon business men Tuesday at 5:30
and the following Friday at 12:30.
Should the senior division claim the

Herrera’s Punch Has Real Effect
“KNOCKOUTS ! 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,
berry code, I can recall no harder
puncher than a swarthy little full-
blooded Mexican boy named Aurelia
Herrera, who 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 as
result frequently was caught entirelv
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 pix” 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 batv
tie with Kid Farmer, a Chicago boy.
Herrera had a tremendous record and
was cordially feared by most of ihe
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 Charley
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
game retort; so. very much against
Nate’s judgment and advice, the con
test was scheduled
Aurelia was a sleepy-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.
* • *
W 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 rights 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.
Farmer paused for an instant to get
a 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 bov 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 Just
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
back into the angle of the ring
and went to sleep as peacefully as a
baby might have. They carried him
out of the ring and stretched him on
a door that had been taken from Us
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 entirelv normal.
Thev didn’t try to waken him at all.
At the end of an hour Farmer opened
his eyes and sat up.
He stared around at the flock of
friends the* surrounded him, rubbed
hi« law reflectively and said:
“Gee. that was o^e horrible’ crack
he gave me, wasn’t it?”

Chalk up another knockout victory for
Charley Anchow!t2. better known in the
world of fisticuffs as Charlie White, the
far-famed knockerout 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.

Ye"e is no newcomer to the boxing

A few weeks ago he gave Freddie

rounds. Yelle has also fought many of
the toughest lightweights in the coun-
try ’ * * *
Charlie is making good his vow that he
will follow Welsh’s footsteps in every
bout the Englishman takes part in
Wb’te hopes by beating or perhaps stop
ping the same boys Welsh fights he will
prove to the public that he is the
rightful owner of the lightweight cham-
pionsihp.
4* 4* 4*
Whether White wins tne title or not,
no one can deny that Charlie Is de
serving of the chance at Welsh’* 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.
4* 4* 4
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 Welsh
type. He Is hurting the profession by
his unsportsmanship tactics and c

much of its past popularity.

Pitcher Perry Is Deepest Mystery
©• <Q> ® ® ©
Bisland Not Chattanooga Mayor
By “Fuzzy” Woodruff.
T HEY 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 as a rent
in tha 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 share 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- afternoon
(Sundays excepted, sometimes)? Mr.
Perry was on the Colonels’ list of
hired rfien all of !as»t season. He
wasn’t *iven enough work to make a
paid-off printer tired. This year he
was allowed to train with the St.
Louis Browns—which isn’t anything
strenuous in the way of training.
Then he was hiked back to Louisville,
where he warmed a bench and ate a
few meals at the expense of the own
ers of that club, and then he was
snipped to Atlanta.
* « •
CINCE his advent here, though, he
^ has harcly been idle. He was al
lowed to pitch, and did pitch, about
as E*oon as the ink dried on his con
tract. Atlanta fans remember that
debut. He came mighty near to
starting with a no-hit, no-run game.
As it was, the heavy hitting Volun
teers were held to a single clean sin
gle. On Perry’s next s»tart he was
defeated in a ten-inning battle,
though he allowed but five hits in the
regular nine Innings A couple of
errors behind him told the stbry. And
yesterday he made his third start and
sat Chattanooga down without a run
and with but three hits.
• • •
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
w\n the world championship by de
fault.
« * *
■ N reference to the third Chatta-
I nooga battle, it might be men
tioned that next to Perry'9 pitching,
Bisland 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 whis’t, 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
thi9 opinion. Anyhow, it is forbidden
by league rules on the ball field, and
in violating that rule. If none other,
Mr. 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 cups 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 sink 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, Ha eg
Eibel. There is no more earnestly
ambitious athlete in the Souther^
League, but he w'as crossed up by th*
author of those excellent copy book

said to be a tremendous stimulant for
ball players to do deeds. And Elbe!
has had that in huge hunks. But it

T HEY had Eibel trying so hard to
hit that he didn’t know w’hether
he was on a ball field or in an aero
plane. The harder he tried the worse
he looked. But now there has been a
transformation. In every game on the
