ritic Says Southern Lightweight
Will Be a Loss to Boxing
Game if He Quits Sport.
By Ed W. Smith.
ECEIVED a dispatch from New
Orleans last night to the effect
that Joe Mandot, for a long
I Southern lightweight champion,
as boxed In his last contest and
enceforth will devote his attention
y other pursuits,
This information goes further and
s that prospective matches with
nny Dundee and Benny Leonard
ave been called off, and that Joe will
ave nothing further to do with the
[t's hard to believe, especially that
rtion of the statement which says
lat Mandot has accumulated enough
last him the rest of his days. All
f Joe's friends will hope this is true,
ut it seems a pity that this bright
oung fellow should be lost to the
xing game. Joe is scarcely in his
rime yet, has everything he ever had
nd should be an excellent money
iker for several years yet.
- - *
OFE is a quaint little character and
one of the most likeable chaps
at ever put on a glove. But he is a
icer mixture and it's a matter of
oubt whether he ever was in very
rong sympathy with boxing as a
lieans of livelihood. Joe isn’t overly
nd of the grind of training, and
118 doubtless is the biggest factor in
s latest decision.
There’s one thing about Joe that
ver will stand out., He became one
f the biggest cards a city ever had
the boxing way, and when he was
oing good and his friends thaught he
ild win there was no limit to the
ay they would go for him. New Or
ans would break itself every day in
he week on Joe.
And Joe was responsible for a num
er of the present-day boxers being
he game, He set such a good ex
mple and was ever so ready to help
at the kids around the French mar
et and other sections of New Or
ans found great encouragement in
oing to him
- - -
EING pretty much of a kid him
self, Joe liked to have lots of
ingsters around where he was
rking. He is responsible for such
len as Pete Herman, Phil Virgets,
iwvinond Dolan and several others
no have attained a prominent place
n the game,
Dolan was an especial pet of Man
t. He is a mixture of German and
sh, and there was something about
) that appealed to the French star.
R¢ was merely a well-groomed of
ice boy, and when Joe told him to
ter one of “Professor” Gormley's
nateur tournaments at the New Or
pans Y. M. € & they were for stpp
ng him, as they feared he might get
t. But he flashed such a wonder-

It's Same Old Game

Keeler Finds Even the Umpires Are No Better
in World’s Series Game Than Down in the
Bushes—Concerning a Hero of Days Gone.
By O. B. KEELER,
Of The Georgian Staff.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—They
play very much the same kind
of ball in the big series that
you can see out at Ponce De-
Leon in thgp summer time. This
last is important. You will never
value the good old summer time
sufficiently until you have occu
pled & solid concrete mausoleum
for a couple of hours with the
mercury ducking to get out of
the way of a, fresh salt water
gale of about 37 miles per hour.
The mausoleum was that of
Mr. Ebbets, of course, Mr. Eb
bets is not deceased. He is very
much alive since the third game
of the W. S. I merely called the
new grandstand a mausoleum be
cause it was large and ‘toncrete
and solid and chilly., It was not
full of ! spectators, efther. Mr.
Ebbets’ little bull movement in
prices may be blamed for that.
But Mr. Ebbets prefers to count
ss3s 8 8 8 instead of turnstile
clicks when recording his attend
ance. So I reckon he is not griev
_ ing. It was a whale of a .crowd,
at that. But no overflow. Mr.
Ebbets had caused to be con
structed a huge channel of tem
porary boxes right down both out
field foul lines, which made it in
teresting for the occupants, who
dodged line drives, and for the
athletes, who fell over into the
occupants intermittently. Our old
friend ZACK WHEAT traveled
clear around the left-field barri
cade in the last frame and pulled
in a three-base foul—one of the
brightest spots in a considerably
spotted contest,
Umpires Still Feeble.
As I was saying, they play very
much the same kind of ball that
you may see for two bits in
ATLANTA. The bases are the
same distance apart, and there
are no more of them. There are
approximately the same number
of innings per game, but twice as
many umpires., These latter are
just as strong candidates for the
HOME FOR THE FRIENDLESS,
and the MUSEUM OF FOSSILS,,
and the SCHOOL FOR THE
BLIND as you will see in the
bushes. Henry O'Day, in particu
lar, gave a star performance of
that sterling little melodrama,
“ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH,”
in the sixth inning, thereby frog
ging Jake Daubert out of a four
bagger and the DODGERS out of
a useful sort of tally, giving
Thomas a put-out by main force,
and causing approximately 30,000
Brooklyn partisans to faint and
fall in it, after doing thelr col
lective best to express their sen
timents.
It really was pretty seur. Jake
slid short, stopped, looked around
for the plate, and laid his large
and handsome left foot squarely
upon it. Thomas then strangled
the ball, on which he had a dubi
ous half-nelson and crotch hold,
and jammed Mr. Daubert's large
foot hard against the plate with it.
That is exactly how it hap
pened. 1 was practically over the
play, and not more than three
cights of a mile from it. At least
30,000 good fans and true will tell
you the same thing if you ask
them, I speaking hoarsely in the
EAST SIDE PATOIS. For a few
moments Mr. O'Day's life was not
worth the paper his insurance
policy was writen on. But he was
permitted to live. Umplires al
ways are, it seems. I have been
watching baseball for twenty
vears and never has an umpire
lost even one leg.
Same Old Game.
Same old game, at five bucks a

throw——and the press gallery was
the most densely populated spot
on the map of the U. S. This
helped the inhabitants to keep
_from freezing to death, along
with St. Bernard dogs bearing
casks of refreshments about their
necks—no, it wasn't St. Bernards,
elther; nor casks. They were
made of glass, I think.
Same old game, Plenty of hits
in this one, and not many errors,
but Carl Mays, standing on his
head when the bunting began and
starting to throw the ball in sey
eral directions at once; and Har
rv Hooper having trouble with
the sun, the same apparently
being in an entirely different
Quarter of the heavens from any
park in the American League;
and pitchers getting by with it
and then getting bumped. 1 was
in a highly technical position
here, because I was, pulling for
Brooklyn and Jack Coombs was
pitching for the Dodgers. I had
been trying to wish something
on Jack ever since he beat the
Cubs three games in 1910, and
this time it had to be managed by
getting Brooklyn far enough
ahead so that when Jack came
apart at the seams the Sox
couldn't quite catch up. 1 was
sorry to see the grand old boy
ducking base hits, too.
Same old game, so far as |
could see. Dick Jemison would
have been in the seventh heaven
watching those high-priced show
girls sloughing the first pitch.
And a good many times the pill
went back faster than it came up
—there were lots of triples and a
fence-climbing home run, besides
two four-baggers that went foul,
and one more that collided up
against Hank O'Day at the plate
and bounced back.
A Lively Scrap.
It was a good, lively serim
mage, at that, with plenty of
sharp hitting and some snowy
flelding. You would come away
from that game at Ponce Del.eon
and tell them at the office next
morning that it was worth see
ing. But the two things that
reached farthest into my system
were not directly connected with
the third contest of the world's
series of 1916, won by Brooklyn,
4 to 3, at Ebbets Field. One
thing was what happened Just
after the game.
It really was a great crowd,
And it was a happy crowd—the
home team had won. And the
sun was still high, and the green
turf was Inviting, and so about
half that crowd just went down
onto the field and paraded, the
rest of the assembly watching.
They had a great big band, the
Dodger rooters, with their gigan
tic green and white banner at its
head; and I can tell you that the
sound of the band and the cheer
ing came rolling up‘through the
concrete arcades in a tremen
dously inspiring blast. It was a
big band, and it played part of
the time “There’'ll Be a Hot Time
in the Old Town” and part of
the time the “Battle Hymn of the
Republic,” which I 8 a queer mix
ture, but devilish effective in
causing your eyes to sting and
the back of your neck to prickle,
And there was the big Boston
band, playing the Boston battle
song to the air of “Tessie.,” And
both sides cheering and the round
cushions flying, and the snap of
deflance In the air, and all the
martial sounds of victory and lust
for the next day's battle. It was
quite a large business. The other
matter was hefore the game
Out in Right Field.
I went out on the right fleld
side and talked half an hour to a
bulky chap in a Brooklyn uni
form, shagging flies In the bat
ting practice with the bat boy,
also in uniform, working beside
him, The big fellow was wearing
no sweater to save a valuable
whip from the chill. He was over
weight and not in training-—a
strange contrast to the drawn,
eager-faced chaps that were hils
mates, lean and hard and fit,
And he was shagging flies for the
batting practice, like the rawest
rookie' of them all. just up from
the bushes, shagging flies with
the bat bov-—and, by gum' he
had been the greatest pitcher
Brooklyn aver had; the greatest
pitcher Brooklyn ever will have—
the greatest southpaw of them
all. :
That big fellow had toiled for
Brooklyn all through ten long,
lean years, :
And when victory came at last,
and the great chance at the blue
ribbon of baseball, he was
through--done-~his arm gone,
No chance for him to get in
the big series Hisx service 1=

tice. They do not announce those

WATCH YOUR STEP'
By DUDLEY GLASS.
Oh, you, oh, you Irving Berlin!
Ain’t it a sin? Why'd you begin
to send us these twirly, synco
pated, girly, daz-a-ling, raz-a-ling
tunes?
The office typewriter balked
there. But how can a busted old
Rem be expected to write of
“Watch Your Step,” with its
throbbing melodies? It ought to
be fitted with bells and fiddle
strings all in tune, and if it
worked by feet instead of fingers,
all the better. For that show
makes its appeal to the feet most
of all, and the eye quite a bit.
Apd the brain gets a complete
rest.
It opencd at the Atlanta Thea
ter Tuesday night before an au
dience that filled every row and
looked like old times. It began
with a jolly chorus, and then
Belle Rutland and Dan Day sang
“Lead Me to Love.” U-m-m! The
swing of that melody! Listen to
the feet tavping beneath the or
chestra chairs. See the bald
headed base viclinist swaying as
he saws out the familiar ump-ah,
ump-ak! Why doesn't that man
in front of me keep his head
still? Oh, very well; I can swing
mine, too. There, that's better.
Now we're all together!
It's just like that all through
the show, only sometimes more
80. Just one-steps, tangos, fox
trots, waltzes, Always somebody
dancing, always a syncopated
thread of Berlin music winding
you In its coils. Paula Sherman's
“Minstrel Parade” {s a march time
riot that sets the crowd yelling.
She and Barrett Greenwood sing
“Settle Down in a One-Horse
Town” in a way that brings in
sistent demand for more. And
every moment, in the songs and
between them, somebody is danc
ing, dancing, dancing. If the story
demanded a funeral scene, the
pallbearers would fox-trot around
the coffin and the corpse would
rise up for a danse macabre,
There are no stars with the
company, but nobody misses
them. There are half a dozen
comedians who can sing a lit
tle, dance a lot and be funny
enough to get by. There are sev
eral really pretty girls with plen
ty to do, and a chorus of willing
workers, There are costumes
scanty enough to have caused a
riot ‘a few years ago, though
they're dully decorous to a crowd
accustomed to the Peachtree pa
rade.
It isn’'t worth while to pick the
bright spots in “Watch Your
Step,” for it's good all the way
through. Unless the new season
ils to be much better than the
last this early comer is likely to
be one of the best in the list, It's
here for the afternoon and eve
ning, and if you like bright lights
and fun and melody-—
Go to it!

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Business was
smaller than recently at the opening o 1
the Cotton Exchange today and al
though there was a fairly good demand,
the market was held in check by offer
ings from a prominent commission
house and room operators. The initial
tone was barely steady, with prices un
changed to 8 points lower than Tues
day’s close.
Liverpool was a moderate buyer here
and Wall Stret interests also took some
cotton, Spot houses purchased the near
options,
After the call a better demand de
veloped and the market held about
steady at the opening levels.
Advances of from 81 to 10% points
were recorded at Liverpool,
Unexpected heavy buying sprung up
during the late forencon, with Castles
and the old bull crowd the heaviest
buyers. Prices soiired to new high
levels, or to a net gain of 7 to 21
points,

Attorney W. H. Conner, ¢f Griffin,
put several questions Wednesday in
the United States District Court to
establish whether a moonshiner could
run as fast as 30 miles an hour.
Claud Thompson was on trial ag the
proprietor of a still near Griffin, and
raiders swore they 7tound tracks
which looked mighty like his .
Mr. Conner put his question to Dep
uty Marshal Freeman, who was one
of the revenue raiders:
“If a man wearing a No. 6 shoe
should run at the rate of 30 miles an
hour through the mud he would make
tracks that would fit a ;No. 8 shoe,
wouldn't he?”
Without going into the scientifie
end of the question, Mr. Freeman re
plied:
“I ‘never heard of a man Tunning
that fast except on a train.”
Sheriff Holland, of Monroe County,
testified that he had brought his coon
dog Rattler to trail the moonshiners.
“The tracks looked like Claud’'s, but
of course I couldn’t tell much about
it when wé got into the swamp,” he
declared.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11,—Based on 2 p.

minimum price on cotton ®or the basis

The market was very strong vester
day with heavy Southern huying and
little for sale. Should hedge sales again
become larger we do not think prices
can be sustained. On the >ther hand,
if hedging keeps off for a while prices
can easlly be put higher.—Hutton & Co.
- - -
The Times-Picayune says: “Yester
day’s sharp recovery from the scare of
the day preceding was natural and to
be expected as a reaction from the semi
panicky slaughtering of valucs which
followed the first consideration ‘of the
new phase of the submarine activity,
Another stimulating influence was the
firmness of Southern gpot markets under
the shock of the heavy decline in fu
tures,
“In the meantime, cotton continues to
move in constantly increasing yolume to
both ports and to the interior markets,
causing stock to increase. The cotton
goods situation in this country shows
no signs of diminishing activity.”
