Harry Hempstend and others involving
the justly celebrated Willlam Howard
Taft, but things look to be in a big
mess, ad should be immediately straight
ened out, or at the earliest possible mo
ment, anyhow, The prolongation of the
present argument is souring the fans
more and more on our great national
game, v
The consensus of opinion among base
ball writers who know whereof they
speak, Is that Mr. Taft Is the man for
the berth as one-man Natlonal Commis.
glon, to look after the matters hereto
fore coming before Garry Herrmann,
Johnson and Tener, who composed the
high court of baseball, No Introduction
1§ required for Mr. Taft. It is not ad
verse to add, however, that hé is a real
baseball fan and has always taken a
great amount of interest in the sport.
I'here are some who think he is not
suited for the job, owing to his never
having any connection with the game,
but it is a false impressison, Mr. Taft
has never been enrollcd in the game,
but he is well-up on the tricks cf the
trade, and a splendid arbiter for all
matters.
Then the seat at the head of the Na.
tional League is empty, 80 far as a real
ruler is concerned. John Heydler, for
years one of the Jeading mea of the
Jeague, and a business man from top (o
bottom, is at present acting as presi
dent, taking over the job when .obhn
K. Tener stepped out. Mr. Heydler
geems to be the cholce of the hig league
gporting writers, but there are other
candidates for the floulllon Mr. Heydler
has the inside track, it seems, and prob
ably will be elected to the presidency,
which would be a good move, apparent
ly, from this distance.
S 0 much has been written about the
reconstruction plans of the magnates
and what must be done with the inter
nal part of the pastime. The moguls,
first of all, should agree to eliminate
all matters pertaining to the financial
side from the public prints. The only
way to add to this Is to quit talking
gubllcly on baseball deals, and give no
int of a trade or sale until it has been
completed. Then keep the price on
the dark side.
Baseball fans will, never agaln, stand
for the magnates mnnln‘f over them.
The fans like to see good, hot battles,
and the only wny to furnlih that sort of
amusement is for the club managers
and officials to see to it that the play.
ers hustle to keer their fobl. If they
do not, they should be relegated to the
minors or penalized in some manner,
One of the wisest things In the world
to do would be for the president of the
league to Instruct the umflrea to allow
the players more leeway in the matter
of pe{r and let them rave a bit more.
The fans delight in lee'nfi an arausing
coacher out on the side lincs, and in
seeing the players fight for everything.
The game should be kept clean. of
course, above all things, but s=till the

v . ] ways I
This outburst possibly is justified
and, anyway, it is characteristic nr|
the old Battler, and I am glad to see
a flash of his former spirit. The Bat- |
tler was combative out of the ring as |
well as in it. He did not like for
anybody to put anything over on him, |
I believe I wrote a story for this col- .
umn a year or so ago about a dis- |
agreement between Bat and a st.rvet!
car conductor in Los Angeles, I’mtl
was training for one of his coast,
fights and was drawn down to a dry |
pallor which made him look mnre’
like & man just out of the hospital
than the lightweight champion in|
hard condition. He isn't a big chap,
of course, and the conductor picked
him for an easy mark and spoke
harshly and unkindly to him.
- - -
These few asterisks represent a!
lapse of two minutes and thirty sec
onds, during which comparatively
brief interval Bat beat up the con
ductor and the motorman came back
to help the conductor, and Bat beat
him up. and a thoughtful bystander
summoned the calamity wagon. An
other crew took the car on its way.
I remember, too, when Bat fancied
himself as an author—'way back in
1909, T guess it was—and Jack Lon
don referred to him as an abysmal
brute. Jack didn’t mean anything
disrespectful. He was complimenting
Bat's wonderful stamina and fighting
qualities. But Bat couldn’'t see it
that way. He was writing a book at
the time-—I remember the first time I
met him he had out a little vest-‘
po«'k%t dietionary and was strugeling
with the difference between chirogra
phy and chiropody—l say, he was
writing a book when London made
his abysmal brute ecrack, and Bnt,‘
who had fust discovered that there
was a difference in the meaning of
famous and notorious, revenged him
gelf by referring in his own book to
“the notorious Jack London.”
Good old Battler! He's combative
in his milder conversations, too, or
used to be. Many a time I have
glanged with him over the telephone
and promised to beat him up if he
‘would present himself in person and
heard what awful things would hap
pen to me if he got at me, which
probably were not underestimated at
that. Bat and I were good friends
at one time; I was the senior mem
ber of the firm, being exactly one day
older. And I'm glad he continues to
flare up when somebody picks on
him, or when he gets the idea some
body is picking on him. There was-—
and is—a world of fighting spirit
packed away in that battered little
body of his.

he carefully has avoided taking them on.
One fight in nearly four years as
a champion—and that fight a short, no-|
decision bout against a man who was
something over ‘SO pounds lighter and
nearly 6 inches shorter. ‘
That is Wiilard's record. ‘
No man who is fond of the boxing|
game can view Willard's actions with
out a feeling akin to disgust. If there
had been no real men for him to fight
gince 1915 then e Inacilvity of Willard
would have been excusable, But since
the day that the giant Westerner flat
tened Jack Johnson in Cuba, several
men have performed sufficiently well in
a pugilistic way to warrant their being
given a chance at the championship.
If Willard had taken on even one of
these men in a decision bout he would
not have lost such a tremendous amoupt
of the prestige he gained in Havana.
Willard has conducted himself unlike
any heavyweight champion in ring h‘xs-‘
tory. John L. fought practically every
man who wanted to fight him. When\
Bob Fitzsimmons took the champion
ship from me he didn’'t remain long in
idleness. The public demanded that he
meet Jim Jeffries, a man far more pow
erful and bigger in every way than was
Fitzsimmons. Game old Bob took on the
big Californian,
Jeffries fought every man who seemed
worthy of a trial. Those whom he
whipped once who insisted upon a return
match, got it—and were whlfped again.
Jeffries was no fluke (-hamip on. When
he cleared the pugilistic horizon of every
real rival, then—and only then—did he
retire from the ring game. And flve
vears later when Jeffries had passed his
puuxlislh-fprimv- five years after retire
ment—Jeffries came out of it at the
public’'s call to fight Jack Johnson,
Mhat a contrast is furnished in the
case of Jeffries and Willard.
For more than three years the public
has clamored for Willard to ‘‘meet some
one in defense of your title.” But Wil
lard has ignored every such request.
Karlier his excuse was that the pugilis-
JOJ 90 (894 OU JO 18BOQ PINOY PIIOM :)L;
him But since the advent of Jac
Dempsey, Willard has not made a.l;s
such excuse, but merely has avoid
the making of a match with the new
wonder of the pugilistic world.
“Who would win if Willard and
Dempsey actually did meet?'"’ is the moot
question of pugilism today.
The quizz can be answered definitely
only if the two men ever get into the
ring—and that 1s unlikely. But, if by
some miracle performance, Willard de
cides to take on Pempsey, I daresay
that Jack would go into the ring a fav
orite in the betting and with a splendid
chance of victory. R P g
Dempeey is something like 60 or 70
pounds lighter than Willard, about 6
inches shorter and would have to “spot’ |
Willard a number of inches In reach,
But, just the same, Dempsey is one of
the most remarkable fighters that the
ring game ever has known. He has
a wallop unlike that of any man since
John L.'s days. He is rugged to an
extreme, can stand up under terrific
punishment and has more than the av
erage boxing skill, He is game, clear
through, has the aggressiveness—and
the speed—of Terry McGovern at his
best, and certainly wouldflpu! up a whirl
wind battle, Dempsey right now is in
;n-x-fsi-rl physieal condition—at his fight
ing best.
Just what Willard's condition would
be even after three or four months of
rigorous training, is a big problam.
Willard claims that he has been keep
ing in fair shape ever since he became
the champion; and it wouldn’'t take him
long to get into condition_ for a fight,
But I doubt this considerably. My ex
perience in the ring game has shown
me that unless a man remrln active,
ke s'ips away from perfection. The
longer the inactivity, the farther he
slips. 1t certainly would take Willard
three or four months to get into fight
ing condition, And even then, it is not
sure whether he would be anzwbero
near to the shape he was in when he
fought Johnson in April 1915,
If the two men meet it is a certainty
that Dempsey will be in lugfl'b condt
tion—and it is a great problem as to
Willard, Therefore, should the two men
ever battle, all the odds would favor a
Dempsey victory.

and one that they are confident will re
peat last year's success. The College
Park boys always possess wonderful fight
and with a man like Mr. David at the
helm they are due to set the world
afire.
Boys’ High has some fine material and
a few of last year's players. Just who
will coach the boys is doubtful, but they
are after a good one, and claim that
after the defeat they administered to
their rivals last Saturday, thereby break
ing the Jinx, they are going to mop up
the league. McGarity, Staton and Da
vis, of last year's team, are no longer
with the Boys’ High players and a new
squad will have to be organized.
Marist, under the hands of the wiz
ard, Joe Bean, always makes it hot for
the other teams, and he nearly won the
championship last yvear. Just who Joe
has to build this year's squad around
is not known, but he is confident of
doing big things.
Peacock will make another attempt
to play in the league this year., Last
year they started, but failed to kee
the pace set by the other teams lns
dropped out.

Every Day's Delay in Having
Necessary Treatment of Your
Teeth Means Danger.
Scientists realize more and more
every day the importance of oral hy
glene—the health of the mouth and
specifically the teeth and gums. It is
realized that hidden decays and ab
scesses around the roots of the teeth
have much to do with one's general
physical condition. A gradual absorp
tion of pus from an abscess, for in
stance, into the circulation of the
blood will cause heart affections,
arthritis and rheumatism. You can
realize, therefore, how very necessary
it is to be sure that your teeth are
healthy—and only a reliable edentist
can be abgolutely sure after making
a eareful examination. If you will call
at the Atlanta Dental Parlors this
examination will be made free of
charge. Call any time—at your coh
venience. You will always find a staff
of competent dentists ready to serve
you. Atlanta Dental Parlors, Peach

Not Sentimental Hystena
As predicted by my friends in Sunday’s papers, through
a pre-arranged plan of the school politicians, the children of
our public schools were used Monday afternoon to distribute
r thousands of circulars, in
: AT ‘t £ ”
O T the interest of the ‘‘Slate
A ey oo« e | made by the teachers and
4“"’?“:6‘*‘l;‘4‘7&( « ; Eighth and Ninth Wards,
;f‘%gh‘ g | who for some reason, are
et >A* .. 8 opposing me as a member
.om e T ;of the new School Board.
gl e * 3 ; [ wish to stress a few
i A . facts Dbearing on the
L = g . school situation:
W’*‘ :‘%@ = @ The bulk of the com
£... #% | Dplaint of their circular is
.8 & i nregard to school condi
@ g 8 tions—every voter and
®o B | tax-payer knows that the
eW, o gl | city's income is limited.
: ;;iw g 1 | The Board of Education
b W’ | | has qresented its claims
o W .| to council time and again,
Fd i | and considering the other
- b 5 && | city departments, I be
: b 4 * lieve the council has done
L - SP— =4 | its best by the schools.
o EE————GEd Tam for better condi
tions in the schools, but it
takes money and lots of it to build schools and employ
new teachers each year. Many teachers have resigned. Lots
of them have married; others went into war work, and other
places of more attractive remuneration.
Perhaps 179, ofo ur teachers have resigned, but in many
other professions or businesses as high as 409, or 509, have
gone into new places.
The oppositian speaks of pilities in the schools. I claim
they have turned the whole school system, teachers, pupils
and all, bodily into a political machine. The principals of
two prominent schools are making demands on Mayor-Elect
James L. Key in regard to council appointments, and claim
they represent the Parent-Teachers Association.
In conclusion, Mr. Tax-Payer, I want you to know that
this year the salaries of teachers have been raised more than
109, and $100,000.00 of the tax money has been spent this
year, 1918, on new buildings and improvements to old ones.
If you favor this new political school hobby, vote for my
opponent, if, on the contrary, you favor conservative, sane,
business methds, without hysteria, I promise yow my best ef
forts for the pupils (your child) as well as the teachers, and
I will appreciate your vote—
———TOMOßßOW——
T have been endorsed by four out of five schools in the
Fifth and Eighth Wards—my home district—and with my
four years’ experience on the School Board, I feel sure that
I can serve the people intelligently and honestly as a mem
ber of the new board.
Respectfully,
GEO. F. EUBANKS.
