iWnH Look Over Situation Person-
I ally—Expects to Make An
, nouncement Soon.
' By Harry Lewis.
| ANDOLPI ROSE is in Atlanta,
‘R and he is here for the express
| purpose of looking over the '
boxing gituation and to :nl(‘nd,
some business affairs regarding the|
opening of his soda fountain, hilliar"ll
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 C'lub, 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 ecity 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,
. » .
“NIR Rose expects to have some
finite announcement to make
within the next day or two,” sald Levy
this morning. “He is now dicker-
Ing for a site to stage his shows,
and if he can make suitable dgrrange
ments In securing the place he wants
then Atlanta boxing fans can look for
some of the bhest houts ever staged
in this country within the next coupie
of months, 8
“Mr. Rose hag been asked by many
of his friends in Atlanta to open a
boxing club here, but he doesn't want
to put bouts 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 is positive
of his stand,” continued Levy.
- - -
S HOULD Mr. Rose open his club
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 angle 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,

draw a banner house in Chattanooga.
This is one of the hest boxing at
tractions ever brought to the Ten
nessee city, as Dillon and Flynn are
both boxers of note and have de
livered on numerous occaslions in the
past, l‘
The Dillon-Flynn scrap is billed for
Chattanooga on May 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

players are expected down in the
Y. M. C. A. gymnasium tonight
to get lined up in the Ice Cream Indoor
Baseball League, which is scheduled to

less prove a drawing card.
Otto Jordan, of big league fame, has
consented to act as one of the captains,
and B. H. MI{O. Jr., will head another
team. Two other men will lead the re
maining teams.
The association has been fortunate in
securing vacant lots for additional ten
nis courts, and glans are well under
way to enlarge the present equi‘)mem
of two courts to five and possibly six
playing surfaces. All the ?TODOIQd new
courts are within a block of the associa
tion building. making it very convenient

Ex-Georgia-Alabama
Hurler Is Becoming
C N
Star of Mack’s Staff
HILADELPHIA, May 10.—One
must go a long way to find
the equal of Connie Mack for
braing and nerve in handling a
young ball player. His latest bit of
strategy may result in making a
great 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 mame as
Nabors has at the present time, to
the mound to pitch an opening day
cgn!est before a strange crowd.
Mack d(gd it and got away with it in
splendid style.
In taking this great chance, Mack
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 that
he cdould get twice the amount of
each in an opening day game in
preference to an ordinary contest.
Results g‘rove 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.
w
Graff, who Is pastiming at third for the
Lookouts, is surelfly 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 lgeed
in the second inning when he. fi:a bed
Pitler's pop fly off his shoe tops, olding
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 Eursult, but he was unable to f“
the ball back until Tommy was rest! ng
isafely on third.
Perry and Thrasher were both hit by
pitched balls following Pemmy’s triple,
‘but Marcan fanned and Mayer skied to
Hyatt, leaving the three men stranded.
After feeding Joe Hagris three straight
balls in the fourth session, Perrzl stuck
three straight over, Harris lifting the
last one to Thrasher in right.
The Lookouts 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, who was passed, was put out
in a chas2 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 roil 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 a chance of gmlni Har
ris at the plate in the seventh inning
when he let Elberfeld's hot drive get
past him. The Kid took second on the
errors and registered on Graff's single
to left.

Big Boom for Harness Racing
’Grand Circuit Here in August
HE immensity of the light har-
I ness racing game can not be
appreciated until one has delved
rather deeply into the facts and fig
ures concerning it.
Here are the approximate figures‘
covering 1915, which may convey some‘
idea as to the size of the trotting
gmae: .
Number of tracks in opera- ‘
fion.. BE S 26 2 s e 11“
Number of meetings.. .. .. 1,100
Average meetings (days) .. 3
Total racing days.. .. .. .. 3,300
Average purses per meet-
B = o 0L $5,000
Total purses distributed $5,550,000
Total horses campaigned .. 11,000
Total valuation of horses. .$10,000,000
Total invested in stands,
real estate, etc... .. .. ..$40,000,000
Total .invested in stables,
sulkies, harness, boots,
other equipment .. .. .. $2,000,000
These figures are conservative. The
average purses distributed last year
—and which will be eclipsed in 1916—
probably were beyond $5,000.
The Grand Circuit, which is the
“king pin” ecircuit of them all, has
‘thirteen weeks of racing. At each

‘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 sls,

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 amone the other circuits
are the following: Metropolitan, Lake
Erie, Bay State, Kansas & Oklahoma,
‘Ohlo, Michigan Short Ship, Coal, Oil
& Gas, Big Fair, 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 will enter the South
east, with a week’s racing at the new
Lakewood track at Atlanta.
