’WI” Look Over Situation Person
~ally—Expects to Make An
nouncement Soon.
.
By Harry Lewis.
R ANDOLPH ROSE is in Atlanta,
and he i 8 here for the express
purpose of looking over the
boxing situation and to attend
some business affairs regarding the
opening of his soda fountain, billiard
rooms and bowling aileys on Marietta
street,
Mr. Rose arrived here last night,
and he was accompanied by Joe Levy,
match maker of the Randolph Rose
Athletic Club, and one of the shrewd
est men In the boxing game. Levy
spent several days here last week,
and he has seen enough in this city to
warrant him bringing Mr. Rose to
look over the situation here person
ally.
When questioned as to whether Mr.
Rose is to put a club in Atlanta, Levy
stated that this is just what would
happen, providing the Chattanooga
sportsman could see his way clear to
put the game on In a high-class man
ner, ¢
- - -
MMR Rose expects to have some
finite announcement to make
within the next day or two,” said Levy
this morning., “He is now dicker-
Ing for a site to stage his shows,
and {f he can make suitable arrange
ments In securing the place he wants
then Atlanta hoxing fans ean look for
some of the hest bouts ever staged
in thie eountry within the next couple
of months. ‘
“Mr. Rose has heen asked by many
of his friends in Atlanta to open a!
boxing club here, but he doesn’t want
to put houts on unless he can stage
them in a manner that will be a credit
to the game. This he expects to do,
but he doesn't want any definite an
nouncement made until he {s positive
of his stand,” continued Levy.
L - -
g HOULD Mr. Rose open his club
*7 here it will be the first time since
the history of boxing in this city that
an organized club has taken hold of
the game, Rose has in Levy a student
of the game and his confidence in
Joe was proven when he stated that
he was willing to leave the entire
matchmaking anegle of the game right
in Joe's hand should he open here,
At the present time Levy is manag
ing the Randolph Rose Athletic Club
in Chattanooga.
- - -
A CCORDING to Levy the Jack Dil
lon-Porky Flynn bout is sure to
draw a banner honse in Chattanooga.
This 18 one of the hest boxing at
tractions ever brought to the Ten
nessee clty, as Dillon and Flynn are
both boxers of note and have de
livered on numerous occasions in the
past,
The Dillon-Flynn scrap is billed for
Chattanooga on Mayv 18. The bout is
to be an eight-round affair, with three
other scraps on the same card to fill
out the bill. A large crowd of At
lanta fistic followers are expected to
make the trip, ‘

Star of Mack’s Staff
i
HILADELPHIA, May 10.—One
must go a long way to find
the equal of Connie Mack for
braind and nerve in handling a
young ball player. His latest bit of
Strategy may result in making a
Breat pitcher of Jack Nabors, the
lanky Southerner, who was only
three weeks ago pronounced by
Mack “‘the greenest man he had ever
handled.”
There is not another manager in
the game who would have sent a
Youngster—with as little knowledge
of the fine points of the game as
Nabors has at the present time, to
the mound to pitch an opening dadv
contest before a strange crowd.
Mack did It and got away with it in
splendid style.
In taking this great chance, Maeck
killed two birds with one stone. He
did not think Nabors would win, but
knowing that he must get more ex
perience and confidence, figured thar
he could get twice the amount of
each in an opening day game
preference to an ordinary contest,
Results gxrove that he was right,
and when Nabors goes to the mound
again he will not only know more,
but also will have the needed confi
dence.
Nabors Yltched for Newnan in the
Georgia-Alabama League last year,

Graff, who Is pastiming at third for the
Lookouts, is aurelf{ one sweet little third
sacker. In the first inning of yester
day’s game .he grabbed Lil Marcan's
hot grounder in his gloved hand, threw
to Pitler, forcing Thrasher, who was on
first, at second, and Lil was doubled at
first on Pitler's throw to Harris.
Sammy Mayer was going at top speed
in the second Inning when he grabbed
Pitler's pop fly off his shoe tops, holding
Hyatt on third.
The Crackers simply couldn’t make
the fiood-natured ‘“Rube” Marshall mad.
The latter was at his best, and he knew
it, too, hence the smile and confidence.
Tommy McMillan’s triple In the third
Inning, with one gone, rolled along the
third base foul line clear to the stands
on the.far end of left field. Jantzen,
the speedy Lookout left flelder, was in
hot g:lrnult, but he was unable. to Fet
the 1 back until Tommy was resting
safely on third.
Perry and Thrasher were both hit by
pltcheg balls folfowing Tommy's triple,
but Marcan fanned and Mayer skied to
Hyatt, leaving the three men stranded.
After feeding Joe Harris three stralght
balls {n the fourth session, Perry stuck
three straight over, Harris lltmu the
last one to Thrasher in right.
The Lookputs scored thelr run In the
fifth without a hit. Elberfeld walked,
took second on Pitler's sacrifice, went
to third on Graff's out and scored when
Kitchens, v{)ho was gaued, was put out
in a chase between first and second.
Perry’s double In the fifth was pretty
much of a fluke. The hit bounded into
foul territory. Graff expected the ball
to roll foul before it reached the cor
ner. Thrasher's double, which: followed,
was timely.
Jantzen pulled off one of his regular
stunts on his visits here when he raced
to left center and pulled down Lennox's
drive In the sixth inning with McDon
ald on.
Thrasher had 2 chance of gettln% Har
ris at the plate in the seventh inning
when he let Elberfeld's xot drive fl
past him. The Kid took Becond on the
:rr;;rs and registered on Graff's single
o left.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1916
meeting the average purse was $40,-
000, which means that this one or
ganization distributed $520,000 in prize
money last year.
There are scores of other circuits,
where the purses average from $15,-
000 and $20,000 per meeting down to
SI,OOO.
The Grand Clrcuit akes in the big
gest cities of the East and Middle
West. Next in importance comes the
Great Western, Springfield, Ill.; In
dianapolis; Fargo, S. Dak.; Phoenix,
Ariz., and Hamline, Minn. This cir
cuit distributes about $250,000 each
year among its horsemen.
Prominent amon~ the other circuits
are the following: Metropolitan, Lake
Erie, Bay State, Kansas & Oklahoma,
Ohio, Michigan Short Ship, Coal, Oil
& Gas, Big Falr, Maritime Provinces
and Northwestern Pennsylvania.
In 1915 between 10,000 and 11,000
trotters and pacers either raced for
money or for records. Figuring that
each of these is worth a mere S6OO
shows that over $6,000,000 worth of
horse flesh was exhibited before the
public last season. The average of
S6OO probably is low.
In 1916, for the first time, the
Grand Circuit Wwill enter the South
east, with a week’s racing at the new
Lakewood track at Atlanta.
