‘Prince Hal’ Did Nol Throw Game, Declares National League President
NOTGUILTY,
EW YORK, Fob, 6 -President
John Heydler, of the National
League, Wednesday acquitied
#al Chase of charges made agninst
the player of betting on ball game
n which the Cincinnati club partici
pated during the 1918 season. Presi
dent Heydler's finding follows
. “In substance the player was
w with making wagers against
his club on games in which he par
ticipated. In justice to Chase, 1 feel
WM to state that both the evidence
and the records of the games to which
reference was made fully refute thi
socusation. In one game in which it
Was intimated that Chase het against
Bis club, the records show that in
the sixth inning, with two men on
Bases and the score 2 to 0 against
Bis team, Chase it a home run, put
sing Cincinnati one run ahesd.
. Al avallable evidence has been
earefully taken and considered It
the charge were proved it would fol
Jow #s a matter of course that the
player would forever be disqualified
from participating in National League
gameés. Under such circumstances |
would not hesltate to so decide, as
the Interest of the public and of the
game of bascball are far more im
Pportant than the fate of any individ
mal. Theme Interests, it is my clear
duty to protect, no matter what (he
#ffect may be on players or club
*My conclusion and findings after
#ull consideration of the evidence Is
that it is nowhere established that
the accused was interested in any
y or wager that caused any game
ball to result otherwise than on
ruflu, and that player Hal Chase
not guilty of the charges brought
against him.”

By JACK VEIOCK, |
EW YORK, Feb. 6.~-Jack Demp-
N sey will arrive here late today
from the west to meet Promoter
Tex Rickard and sign the articles
which will finally clinch his long
sought battle with Jess Willard, |
The youthful challenger, with his
manager, Jack Kearne, will meet
Rickard some time tomorrow or Sat
urday and on Monday Dempsey pvill
commence a theatrical tour which will
continue for six weeks. He is to re
celve $2,600 a week for his services.
In accordance with Rickard's stipu
lations, Dempsey will engage in no
boxing bouts other than exhibitions
on the stage with his sparring part
ner until after the championship bat
tle July 4.
Manager Kearns said today that
Jack Is going to take on several big,
strong boxers as training partners,
Harry Wills, the giant negro hoxer,
has already been signed to help put
Dempsey in condition, Wills is big
and clever, and will present much
the same kind of a target as Willard,
Meanwhile Promoter Rickard is be
ing swamped with offers from all
parts of the country for the big fight.
He admitted today that Colorado has
made a strong bid for the attraction,
and that the oil fields of Texas are
hot on his trail,
“But 1 still believe that the battle
should go at least twenty rounds”
sald Riekard, “and unless unfore
seen difficulies arise I will stage it
over that distance.”

Purses Are Becoming Larger As
The Boxing Game Grows Older
8 the boxing game grows older
A it becomes more and more a
game for the participant alone
and not for the promoters or the fans.
Not that it js burrowing lts way far
ther into the hearts of the contest
ants, but it is enriching their purses
to a noticeable extent. i
The one thing that looms large in
the boxing world today embraces an
example of the rapidly increasing de
mands of the pugilist.
Jack Dempsey is to deaw $27,500 as
his share of the stakes to fight twen
ty rounds with Jess Willard, the
champion, Dempsey, little more than
two years ago, was never heard of.
He was getting meager purses for his
bouts., As he darted more and more
into the limelight he drew down larg
er monafl. until today he is offered
$27600 for twenty rounds, Willard,
the champlion, will get a tremendous
#lice to defend his honors, It is the
general belief the he will be paid
SIOO,OOO or more,
And just to think that four ymrz
ago the champion® got $30,000 for
championship bout, of more than
twenty rounds, while the challenger
was forced to be content with §7,000
or SB,OOO, Willard, in his fling with
Johnson, did not get a cent, it is said
while Johnson pulled in s2o,ooo—that
was Johnson's set price for a cham
vionghip fight. The champion's end
leaps $70,000 in four vears. At that
rate, a champion in 1923 would be
getting $170,000 for twenty rounds.
But that will hardly come about.

HERMAN’S NEW MANAGER.
Pete Herman, the celebrated ban
tam of New Orleans, who helds sway
over that division, has a new man
age, and came within a ‘“tails” of
having a different one.
A rather funny way to select a
manager, but here is the way it is
explained by Herman “Muggsy” Tay
lor, of Philadelphia, who came near
being Pete's boss, but lost by .a
“heads.”
Taylor's letter:
“Will you please favor me through
your columns with a notige that Pe
ter Herman, the bantam champion,
i 8 now under the personal manage
ment of “Doc” Cutch, of Philadel
phia?
“‘Doc’ and T wege both interested
in Herman, but as we differed in re
gard to prospective matches for the
champion, we decided to toss a cqin,
to sce which of us would be the real
‘manager, while the other stepped out.
The coin was tossed in the lobby of
the Vandig Hotel, Philadelphia, by
CKid' Gleason; now manager was the
Chicago White Sox, at 7 p. m. Tues
day, January 28, ‘Dee¢’ Cutch called
"heads.' and ‘heads’ it ®as, when
Fleason looked at it on the marbie
floor. That made Cutch the cham
plon’s manager.

’l9 CAPTAIN
{E of the mos! popular and en«
Othusiastlr members of the Crack
ers, and also one of the greatest
fly-chasers in exisfence, Sammy May
er. has been appointed captain of the
Atlanta team for 1919,
A more popular choice wWith the
fans ceuld not have been made. Sam
my, for the three years he%has been
playing ball with Atlanta, has always
been well-liked, due to his timely hit
ting, remarkable fielding, and his per
sonality, Sam is a great fellow, per
sonally, and will make a distinct hit
with the members of the locals during
the coming season,
Mayer is 26 vears old, and was born
in Atlanta., He has played "profes
sional ball for a number of years. He
began his career on the diamond in
1911, beginning with the Crackers.
He was not quite ripe enough and
was farmed out to Blytheville, Ark.,
unfil this circuit. went to pieces on
July 4, and Sam hooked on with the
Fulton team, in the Kitty League.
Mayer in 1912 went to Savannah,
in the South Atlantic League, playing
there for three seasons, during which
time his team copped two champion
ships. In 1915, he was purchased by
ll\'un.qas City, and played a few games
with that club. He was then farmed
to Topeka, where he starred, and was
recalled by the K. C. Blues, and when
he had eclimbed To the top of the bat
ting list of the American Association
that same season, he leaped to the
Brooklyn Federals. He jumped back
into organized ball with Washington,
and was later declared the property
of Kansas City. The latter sold Sam
to Atlanta, and he played here in 1916,
'l7 and 'lB. Mayer coached the G. M.
A. baseball team last year.
The outfielder decided in December,
of 1917, that he wanted a fling at the
Huns, so enlisted as a private, at
Camp Gordon. On January 5, 1918,
he entered the officers’ training camp,
being discharged on February 1, on
| account of physical disabilities. He
| piayed with the Crackers again in
f 1918, hurting his leg in May. The
ibbreviated season came to an end
m June 28, and the following day he
joined the war secretarial staff of the
IY. M. C. A. He has been stationed
iat Camps Jackson, Wadsworth, Mec-
E Pherson and Jesup. He is at present
serving at the latter camp. l
‘ Sam has a brother playing hig"

Chase Going to Giants
.
For Moran, Latest Tip
(By International News Service.)
NEW YORK, Feb, 6.—Loose talk and a
lack of seriousness toward baseball was
the direct cause of Hal Chase’s trouble
with the Cincinnati Club and the National
League, according to a well-posted base
ball man here today. \
“If Chase had respected his job with
the Reds he never would have had any
trouble,” says the ‘‘imsider.”
Now that Chase has been given a clean
bill of health he will sign with the Reds
and later will be transferred to the
Giants in return for Pat Moran, it is said.
E. MEHLHORN, in his early
W twenties, the brilliant yvéung
® professional of the Oak Park
Country Club, Chicago, is in Atlanta
and Marietta alternately for a few days
before going on to Augusta to com

with the Golfers’ Magazine, for which
publication he i§ placing hanasome cups
with clubs, whose membership includes
30 or moere subscribers. The Atlanta
Athletic Clt has one of the cups,
which will be played for this season.
The Marietta Golf Club has another

scores. His first two rounds of the
9-hole course were 33 and 24, for a total
of 67, and his next effort resulted in
a 32 and a 36, for a. 68.
