this was the first league that ever
represented the South in the national
pastime
That wan in 1884, and, according to
Billy and Bruffey and Cap Joyner, it
was some ball team. The national
pastime had just started becoming
popular in the South. Henry W,
Grady, guick to see the posaibilities
of baseball, was the moving spirit be-
Bind the organization of the club and
the league. He was president of th
elub and Charles Collier, nflerwun{
Mayor of Atlanta, was its manager
The league was a little four-club
affair—Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and
Columbus—and ball players were as
searce as recall votes in those days
Billy Sands had just moved to At
lanta. He was superintendent of the
Atlanta Newspaper Union, but he had
had lots of baseball experience in
Washington, where in 1879 and 1880
he played shortstop on the Govern
ment Printing Office team of the De
partmental League of the Capital
B A
b Jim Lynch in Outfield.
He was one of the first men signed
and he naturally was put at his old
place in the short fleld. Among the
other members of the same club was
Jim Lynch, now a prominent dealer
in amber suds at Broad and Walton
streets. Imagine the Jim of to-day
cavorting around in the outfleld! But
Jim did, and he has never lost his
fove for baseball. There is something
radically wrong when he misses a
game at Ponce Del.eon Park.
Mr. Sands doesn't remember the
names of all the other athietes, but
George Whitlock was on the club, as
was Jim Craig, now an engineer on
the Panama Canal work, and a fellow
named Wiley, who was living in Call
fornia when last heard from. The
battery was composed of a German
named Helsman, pitcher, and Billy
Lighting, catcher. The league season
was 30 games. Activities began in
June and lasted yntil September. |
But if the season was short, tho:
playing was fierce enough. Mr. Sands
tells of breaking up an eleven-inning
game against Columbus that brought
Atlanta the championship. He did It
with a home-run clout. He declares
that there was more fighting done at
old Peters Park that afternoon than
was done at the battle of Peachtree
Creek.
The next season Mr. Sands forsook
the short field and took a job as &
Southern League umpire. While he
was handling the indicator, Hank
O'Day was a pitcher for the Savam
nah club. He umpired for several
seasons and finally left baseball for
the theatrical business, but in 1892 he
returned to the game in a financial
way as a director of the club, when it
pastimed at Brisbine Park.
~ Mr, Sands still snows signs of his
‘diamond activities. The ringers of
‘both hands are as crooked as a ward
gct‘n or the dealer of a brace
box. “We didn't have gloves in
ways~-that is, no one but the
m did. But we managed to
g the ball pretty well. 1 was
‘able to handle it,” said Mr. Sands,
with a swelling of the chest, “weil

you see we played real baseball in
those days.” .
When Mr. Sands was a director of
the Atlanta club he struck up an ac
quaintance with a big, rangy athlete
of the Mobile club. He was a catcher
and first baseman and his name was
Jake Wells. In after years Mr, Sands
worked with that same man in his
various Atlanta 'thmtrlcnl ventures.
Twenty-five vears ago Mr. Sands
went to work with the DeGives and
he has been assoclated with theatrical
life in Atlanta ever since, He Is in
timately acquainted with hundreds
and hundreds of theatrical peopl«/
whose names are household words
throughout America. He has been on
the main door during every opera
season in Atla.nu\,.nnd he knows all
the opera people, A few years ago he
was offered a post with the Metropol
itan force by Billy Guard, the general
representative of the great musical
organization, but New York couldn't
lure Mr. Sands away from Atlanta.
And so he's going to be on the gate
this season with gnarled fists and
wrinkled face and a heart young
enough to enjoyv a ball game as thor
oughly as any 12-year-old kid In the
bleachers,
“How old am 17" said Mr. Sands, in
reply to a question. “Why, I was §)
g 0 long ago 4hat I've forgotten thet
I've ever reached the half-centuiy
mark. Just watch my speed out there

ArchieChipOffOld Block’
| HICAGO, Jan. 15.% Archile
Roosevelt wants to prove a chip
“” of the old block and hopes to
‘establish as good a record as a box
or, If not better, than did his father
‘when the Colonel was an undergrad
uate beyond the Charles,
} Archie ig enrolled as a lightwelght
in Harvard's candidates for the box
ing team. His father fought in the
[ume class while in college, and also
trained William A. Gaston, president
}of the Shawmut National Bank, for a
college wrestling tournament. .
Dad Roosevelt stripped at 135
pounds when he entered the light
weight sparring contest, the only
'ovnnt he ever took part in.
Donaid Wilhelm, in his book “Theo
}dore Roosevelt as an Undergraduate,”
says of the bout:
\ There were only six contest
ants, The Advocate says. In the
| first bout, Mr. Hauks won. The
‘ second bout, between Mr. Cool
~ ldge and Mr. Roosevelt, was won
by the latter, who displayed more
~ skill and coolness than did his
opponent. Mr. Cushing easily won
the last bout.
“Mr. Hanks was then paired
with Mr. Roosevelt, and a spir
ited contest followed, in which
Mr. Hanks succeeded in getting
the best of his opponent by his
quickness and power of endur
ance."”
“It was no fight at all,” says
one of the students who were
gathered around the toiiing men.
Hanks had longer reach and was
stronger, and Roosevelt was
handicapped by his eyesight.
[ can see the little fellow yet,
staggering about and banging in
to the air. His opponent could
not put him out, and he would not
give up. He showed his fighting
qualit'es, but he never entered
another bout.
Mr. Gaston himself has told the
story of the wrestling match for
which Roosevelt trained him. He
says:
The rules for wrestling matches
4in those days were arbitrary—-
dliferent at each meeting, accord
ing to the views of the umpire.
If vou thought a decision unfair,
all vou c¢ould do was to appeal
to the committee in charge of
athletics.
There was going to be a light-
weight wrestling match. 1 hesi
tated about entering it. Roose
velt sald: “Come on, Bill; I'll
train you." He didn’'t know any
more about wrestl ng than I did.
The first day I threw two men
and had just got the first fall
from the third when the umpire
called off the sports for the day,
insisting that the last fall I had
got should not count. Of course,
that meant that I should have to
throw my opponent three times
and he throw me but twice to win
a victory. Roosevelt banged his
foot down on the floor. “Out
rageous! Bill, it's outrageous!
C‘ome on, we'll go and appeal to
the committee.”
“Now, Bill, you're hot-tem
pered,” he warned as we ap
proached them. "l don't want you
to say a word., Tl'll talk to them.
I'll explain this thing.” In ten
minutes Roosevelt had offered to
fight every one of them. I had
to pacify him and smooth things
over. We won our point, though.”

Billy Lotz's Protege May Meet
Abel and Perry Here—Has
Injured Hand. |
— |
By Harry Lewis. |
ANK O'HRIEN, conqueror of
Eddie Hanlon, the looal favor
ite, is going to stick right here
n Atlanta for the next few woeks at
least, or until some lad around these
parts bobs up who is good enough to
hand the Jacksonville lad a iacing
This much was made certain last
night by Billy Lotz Yank's hustiing
pilot, and the man who vrought
O'Brien here for the express purpose
of stopping Edward
O'Brien at the present time is car
rying his right hand in a sling The
injured weapon is twice it normal
size. due to a skin infection, which
means that the Lotz protege wiill not
be able to box for a week, at least.
| Bill Has a Right to Smile.
Lotz is wearing a broad *mile these
‘days, and we can’t blame him, either
Before Yank's bout with Eddie, Billy
appeared somewhat downhearted. He
really didn't think that Yank, with
‘one hand practically useless, could
whip Eddie, and he bated to see &
game boy go down to defeat under
such a handicap. He pleaded with
Yank to postpone the bout, but the
Jacksonville glove-wielder would not
have it that way. He insisted that
his left hand wns all he needed to
stop EAdie, and Yank was right,
‘which is the rezu‘wdnou of Billy's
happiness Lo-dax.
But Messer Lotz s not holding any
hard fesling toward Hanlon: W fact,
Billy wishes Eddie all the luck in the
world, and really goes so far as to
state that the local boy should etill
‘huv- many,.good fights left in him. It
must be r&wmlwred that it was Lotz
who first brought out Hanlon and
later lifted him into prominence when
he secured Eddie a match with Perry,
which Hanlon won in a few rounds.
Later, however, Eddie and Billy
came o a parting of the ways, which
terminated when Lotz took hold of
O'Brien and Eddie went to Whitney.
Eddie Must Start All Over.
Now, Billy has a money-maker in
O'Brien, while Eddie will have to
start all over. However, Eddle Is
still young and should not feel dis
couraged over the defeat. As for
Billy Lotz and O'Brien, well, we would
advise this pair to get their heads
together and take on Jake Abel and
Jimmy Perry as soon as these
'matches can be arranged. Shouild
Yank prove capable of defeating these
boys, then a Whitney-O'Brien match
would not be out of the way.
Billy Lotz is a wise head at the
‘game. Just how good this O'Brien
party is the writer isn't in a position
to know, but we are aware of the fact
that Yank did stop Eddie Hanlon on
two occasions and he also disposed of
the clever Roy Hirst in a few rounds,
and these victories are enough tagive
him future engagements here.
| Praise for Budd and Feldman.
~ Johnny Glynn and his scrapper,
‘Battling Budd, are around town re
ceiving congratulations for Budd's
victory over Young Feldman. The
“Battler” put up a great scrap the
other night against the Macon boy,
‘and by his victory he took another
step up the puglistic ladder.
~ On the other hand, Feldman made
a 4 name for himself by the fight he
put up. Morris Smollen, who is hand
ling Feldman's business affairs here,
{s out with a statement that he is
‘wming to bring the Macon scrapper
here for another crack at the local
!boy at any time. This Feldman lad is
'a pocket edition of Ad Wolgast, and
lhe should make a wonderful hit with
promoters around these parts. He
{sn’t much on the fancy stuff, but we
have still to see a youngster around
}this section who ie a more pleasing
fighter than this same Feldman party.

Ye Caulifiower Ear.
BOUT eight out ot every ten fist fighters you see powadays own the
A “eauliffiower,” or “tin” ear; an ear so battered and bunched by the
bludgeonings of fiveounce gloves that it {sn't really an ear any
more at all, but just a misshapen chunk of cartilege clinging to the side
of the head
Now the “tin” ear has been the badge of the boxer for so long that
the memory of man runs not to the contrary, but of late years it is un
doubtedly getting much more common than it used to be
All classes of fighters carry ‘em these days, from the very cleverest
men we have In the ring to the kind who can't ight much at all. Seo
familiar is the “tin" ear among the gladiators of the present eara (as you
might say, If you wanted to pun on a very delieate subject) that one not
familiar with the situation might get the fmpression that there is some
fistie law compelling the disfigurement.
The mashed-up ears of a Battling Nelson are not surprising in view
of bis style of fighting, but one would searcely Oxm"l to see a clever
fighter marred in that manner. None the less, most of the so-called clever
men of today carry the “tin” listeners. They do not carry them with
any particular pride, it is true, for the “tin” ear, to a clever man, is &
badge of disgrace—but they c‘r:) th:m. . .
Abe Attell Speaks.
IH the old days, not even the fighters of the mauling type always cob
lected the bad ears, as is almost invariably the case with that same
type to-day, while a “tin” ear on a really clever man was something of a
rarity. There is a reason for all this, of course, and in paging the local
fist fighting settlement for the reason vesterday we encounterede Ahé Attell,
former featherweight champion, and as clever a man as ever slipped
between the ropes,
“Why all the caulifiower ears, nowadays, Abraham?” we inquired.
“Why all the wrecked hearing apparatus?™
After feeling of his own ears to see if they were all there, and finding
them quite intact. Abe spoke as follows:
“Ask me something difficult. The reason you seek is as plain as the
nose on my face. The bunged-up hearers are due to the change in the
style of fighting, or, rather, to the chaunge in the style of not fighting. In
the old days the men stood more erect, and picked off punches with their
hands, or jumped away from them, or stepped Inside of them. Now they
bore in, the head down, and carried sideways, and block punches with thelr
beans., ‘
“The ear belpg in between the head and the punch, naturally the ear,
gets all the blows, It gets smeared up, and the blood coagulates, or some
thing, and unless it is attended to at once by some one who knows his
business the result is the tin ear.
“When 1 was fighting 1 never took any punches I could possibly avoid,
If a man swung at me, | would hop away from the swing; if he set to
drive one, I would try to slip inside of it. Sometimes when | would appear
to be getting a terrible pasting around the face and head and my nut would
be bobbing this way and that apparently from the force of the blows, I
would in reality be escaping injury entirely, because I would be letting my
head drift with the punch, so that no.llck could land solld.
- -
Dixon Taught Him.
ul STARTED in the fighting game as a knockerout; as strictly a fighters?
but I changed my whole system overnight, and from a few minutes’
observation of George Dixon, the little colored boy. That was fourteen
years ago, in Denver, Colorado, when | was just a novice.
“1 saw Dixon box Young Corbett, and it was a revelation to me. 1 sat
with my mouth open, watching George blocking, and stepping away, and
getting Inside, and ducking damage in a way that [ never dreamed existed,
I thought he outpointed Corbett a mile that night, but they gave the de
cisfon against Dixon. From that time on, however, I becathe a boxer. 1
had discovered that there was such a thing as preventing the other fellow
from hiting me while I could be slamming him.
“I boxed Dixon right after he met Corbett, and I made such a showing
against him by employing his own methods t‘lat from that time on | was
called a clever fighter. Yet if you look up my record, you'll find 1 scored
lomot*lng like sixteen knockouts in a row when I first started, and
about ‘twenty-two knockouts out of my first twenty-six fights before I met
Dixon.
“It I'd continued my old style, [ suppose I'd been as badly marked up
as some of the boys you see around new, although it seems to me that
everybody ‘was boxing different from what they are now. Young Cor
bett was a slam-bang fellow, but he came out with his ears all right, and
so did any number of other fellows I can name who were always tearing
fn. They didn't block with their heads—or with their ears. They knew
more about fighting with their hands. [ guess that’s the answer.”
And most likely Abraham is correct. At least his solution will have
to stand until a better one comes along.
" - -
, Mike Is Marked.
MIKE GIBBONS, accounted an extremely clever man, and one who hae
a decided aversion to getting mauled, has a “tin” ear of which he is
keenly conscious. True, Mike has the excuse that he got it in his very
first fight, but a “tin” ear acquired in a first fight sticks just as long as
one collected in a last fight, and in the old days the boys didn’t get them
first or last. ’ )
Freddy Welsh, the lightweight champion, and Ten (“Kid") Lewis,
both clever boxers, have “tin” ears. In fact, nearly every fighter of any
prominence in the ring to-day either has a decided “tinner,” or a strong
suggestion of one. Some of them got them in the gymnasium, but they
didn’t develop in the gym any more than they did in the ring. And the
‘training methods of the old days were little, if any, different from what
they are now.
Most of the old fighters would have disdained the use of the heavy
foothall headegear now worn as a protection in training by a majority of
the boxers. They not only have headgear nowadays, but they wear rub
ber teeth guards. ;
Oddly enough, the colored fighters, past and present, displayed few
“tin” ears, which is perhaps explained by the theory that the colored man
is instinctively a good defensive boxer. He has a natural dislike for get
tllug hurt, and so hig very first development is apt to be along the line of
cleverness.
