fthn Corbett First Met ‘Bull’
| o 0 0 o deok BT
By TAD.
Met Jim Corbett on the street the other day In his Reckitt's .blue
lmousine. “‘Say,” piped Jim, “I meant to tell you about that Jack
g:rh guy you had a story eon some time ago. You know that stuff that
die Graney told you was right. That guy Burke surely did bull the
newspaper men the night we fought.
“You know I was 20 years old when I boxed him. Burke was an BEast
ern star and came to Frisco to show the natives what great fighters
they had in the East. He had just fought Sullivan and was to box me.
It was an eight-round go for SBOO and I got nothing.
“I didn't expect to win, you know. [ thought I'd be lucky if I stayea
the limit with him. At the start 1 was very cagy and stayed away from
him. Then about the fourth round I started to go and found that he
was sort of punk. In the sixth | swung one to his Jjaw and nearly
knocked his block off. T used to swing in those days.
“Well, in the last two rounds I kept his head bobbing with jabs
did almost as 1 pleased. When the bell rang at the end of the e h
roun‘wl went to my corner and was shaking hands with my secon
“We all thought that I had won by a mile, : ; :
» ;zsl know the winner usually walks over to the loser and shakes
8 . Z
“Can you imagine my surprise when Burke walked oyer to my cor
ner with a smile u'\? patted me on the head, saying: ‘Corbett, you're a
mtl'y fair boy. ith a little more Q{pvr!ence you'll be a first class
man.’ .
‘“l"""l‘hol he gave a dinner to the newspaper men and bulled them to
“You know that guy nearly made me quit the ring.' He just bulled
every one and everything in sight and they all swallowed it.”
Jem Mace’s Last Days.
Here’s an interesting note taken from the Sydney Referee:
Mr. Robert Clements, of Arundel street, Forest Lodge, writes: “Be
ing a regular reader of your notes on boxing in ?0 Referee, I peruse with
interest your references to champions of other days and countries. You
often refer to one in particular, Jem Mace, I will write a little about
his last days, which may Intercst some of your readers. This is as I
saw them, and know them to be true. Jem's last yveag on this planet
~ was spent in the north of England. He traveled around the fairs and
market places with a boxing booth. Although his name was in front
of the show, also paintings of some of his fights, the tent belonged to a
showman. He had nothing only what he got from the showman and
sports. Every town or city they went to they held a boxing competition
for local boys, and the winner hafl to spar with Jem Mace for two rounds.
His age was always announced as 79 years. He was always well re
spected. His clean appearance was most noticeable, He was dressed in
a long black coat, a high silk hat, a starched collar, and was clean shaved.
1 saw his funeral. It wgs attended by many prominent spoertsmen, He
was only sick a few days. He died near Newcastle-on-Tyne, and is
buried in Monkton Cemetery, Jarrow-on-Tyne, England.”
.
Jim Coffroth’s Close Call.
“Bvery kid likes to fight,” said Jim Coffroth. “When 1 was 19 1
thought that Jack McAuliffe was a hick., I'd rather battle than eat in
those days. One day in Frisco I was with Tom Graham. He wasn't a
judge then, get me? On Kearney street there was quite a crowd and I
~ happened to bump into a fellow. He pushed me back, then ] did the same
to him and right away the old fireworks started. Say, he closed one of
’ my eyes, had my mouth cut and my head was so big 1 couldn't get it
inside of a pork barrel. I was swinging while this other fellow kept pop
ping me with a straight left.” 3
| “Who was the other guy? Oh, I was going to tell you, it was George
. Q@roen. Remember him? Yater he fought Walcott, Al Neil and Martin
. Flaherty” {
“But he didn't win your fight, eh?” we asked.
“No!' piped Coffroth., “It was won by Judge Graham.”
*“How did Judge Graham win?" we asked again,
| “Oh, he hit Green with a brick,” piped Coffroth. ‘““That's the only
~ thing that would stop him."” . 5

I Dempsey’'s Now on the Road.
| Jack Kearns hit the old typewriter for a two-bagger letter the other
| day. Here Is what Dempsey’s manager says, in part:
“We are playing the week of the 24th In Detroit, at. the Opera
House: the week of the 318 t at the Colonial Theater, Chicago, and the
week of September 8 at Philadelphia, at the Walton Hotel; and then
1 belleve we come igto New York for two weeks: then around through
Boston, Buffalo, and up through Canada. 1 don't know the exact route
at this time, but the promoters of this show claim that they will surpass
any box office attraction that has ever been on the road, including
Harry Lauder and all the big stars, .
g “Charlfe Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks are trying to Interest me
tn having Dempsey take a pictur e with the three of them, the title to
Be “The Three Champlons.
“As an actor Dempsey has mad e a wondeul hit, and lie scems to
be golng over well. He does & monologue in evening dress and then goes
into his fighting costume and Aoe & shadow boxing and punchés the bag
and boxes three rounds, and winds up the show by domnxtrpunl the
blows and knockdowns with which he defeated Jess Willard"

'ARE READY
FOR GALNIE
By CHARLES SHONESY.
Today at D’oncey, on the Crackers’
home lot, the Atlantic Steel Company,
winners of the pennant in the City
Ledgue, will meet the Agoga Feds,
winners of the top honors in the
’(‘nmmorclal League. It is the second
game of the series for the city ama
teur ehampionship.
The Atlantic Steel Company won
the first game by the one-sid=d score
lof 18-0. However, In that game
“(3oat” Cochran, the-star pitcher of
the Agogas, was handicapped with a
gsevered wrist and was unable to hook |
the ball or make it cut any fancy
‘f‘u['('l'?i on its way to the plate, ‘
1 His mit is well now and he is out
for revenge. ~He is thoroughly ca
pable of administering the same, too.
Once before he hurled against the
Steel team for eight innings, during
‘which time the Steels were not only
urable to score, but only negotiated
one safe blow.
The Steels are anxious to win this
game, and are priming their best
hurlers for the contest, ‘“Lefty” Brown
worked the first game for thexwin
ners. He allowed one hit. He is not
expected to start this game, Rey-i
nolds or “Lefty” Parker will work In‘
today's contest unless some changes
in plans are made at the last mo
ment, |
YThe Agogas have made a slight
change in their line-up that we be
lieve will give them a stronger team,
both on offense and defense, “Runt”
Mumford is playing short, and Wal
lie BSmith has moved, over to the
keystone, thus causing the retirement
of Tom Griffin. ’
Tom was a great player in the old
days, but age has slowed him down,
and dimmed his bhatting eye.
~ The placing of Mumford in the
line-up gives the Agogas a good lead-:
‘nfr man and a fast fielder. Once on
base, he is a mighty hard customer
\to stop.
8o the teams that play this game
will not be exactly the same ones of
two weeks ago. One is strengthened
and the other remains the same.
Should the Atlantic Steel Company
win this contest the third game will
not be played, as two of the three is
the majority decided upon to win
the pennant, 4
The admission will be 25 cents for

Ross Buys Great Stable
Jther Turfmen Failed in the Attempt
Has Cudgel and Billy Kelly
Commander J, K, L. Bgl!. the
great Canadian sportsman, has :xt'-
ceeded where all other turfmen
Have failed in purchasing a ready
made racing stable,
When the war ended raecing in
his home land, Ross decided to
gport his colors on the American
tracks. All of his (Eurr\{\dlnn bred
animals were gone, oss didn't
have time to develop a néw one in
America. So He announced:
“I am in the market for the best
race horses I can buy. Price is no
congideration. Quality is what I
want.”
Right then the veterans of the
racing game shook their heads.
Ross was attempting something
which always had resulted in fati
ure in the best. The oldtimers had
in mind the experiences of E. E.
Smathers and E. R, Thomas among
others. Both lost fortunes in buy
ing seasoned race horses,
HIRED SAM HILDRETH,
For many years Smathers was a
harness horse enthusiast. He de
cided to enter the running game,
His first move was to buy McChes
ney, the most famous horse of his
time. Smathers paid $40,000 ror
him. He spent more than $200,000
for other great thoroughbreds. He
hired the famous Sam Hildreth to
train for him,
But fortune falled to smile upon
Smathers, just as it had failed to
smile upon Thomas and others?
And Smathers finally quit the turf
gngw a $250,000 loser,
ut Ross has smashed tradition
so far. Practically every *purchase
he has made has been a money
maker., He owns today seven of
the greatest race horses in the
world and they have earned for
him four times the money he spent
for them. And Ross, a real plunger,
when his own herses are concerned,
has amassed a fortune in winning
Wagers. ’ 4
His first buy was Cudgel, ranked
as the handicap king. He paid $25.-
000 for the racer, but Cudgel al
ready has won nearly three times
as much as he cost. And Cudgel
is still valuable as a campaigner,
and should, after his running days
are done, earn many thousands m
steed fees.
The sum of $27,000 was paid by

Although the Crackers are away
from home, Poncey will’not remain
closed to the public. Far be it from
such., Two crack amateur nines
have secured the park for a game
this afternoon, which will bring
together the Agogas and Atlantic
Steel in the second S?me of their
series for the city championship.
Charles Shonesy tells us that this
is going to be some battle, and
C#lrlel usually has a pretty good
life of dope on the “Future
Greats.”
P PP ’
J. T. Taylor, who is quite a
marksman when it comes to drop
ping the birds at the Atlanta Gun
Club, states that everything is set
for the bhig shoot at the club's
traps. Taylor says that a num
ber of the leading marksmen in the
South will compete, and some close
competition is expected. A large
prize list is to be hung up for the
various winners, and the attrac
tion is expected to be of unusual
interest to the‘rlflo ‘;sharkn."
Although no championship bout
over the decision route is on card
for today, two titleholders will get
into action. Benjamin Leonard, of
knockout fame, and Pete Herman,
who still clings to his bantam hon
ors, are going to get into action,
Benny will tackle the tough Soldier
Barfield in a six-round mixup at
Philly, while Peter will step into
the same ring with Joe Liynch at
Bridgeport, Conn,, in a bout billed
to go ten rounds. Both Benny and
Pete are facing tough foes, but it's
a safe bet that they will come out
of their battles with their titles
intact. A number of other good
bouts are on card, as stated in an
other column.
s
With the Crackers through here
for the scason, as far as a league
game is concerned, Atlantand can
wel' feel proud of the article of
bull the “Boy Wonders” have put
up. At the start of this season
many thought that Jrank took a
big chance' by letting go se many
of his veterans. In their place he
got together a bunch of young play
ers, the majority of whom had not
been tested with a 1\00(! minor
league club, and they have deliv
ered, '
» & 9
However, none of us should for
get the work accdomplished by the
three veterans of the team, namely,
Bob Higging, Sammy Mayer and
“Tom Sheehan. 1t {8 my opinion that
tre signing of Higging had more to
do with-the present position of the
Crackers than anything else. Bob
was Just the }mrn' needed to utandl
the young !nfield, and he suceeeded,
Higgins' work has been truly re
markable. Day after day he is ap
pearing behind the bat, and his
knowledge of opposing hghters and
his abllity to handle youmg pitchers
has proved the great asset of the
team. !
¥ 9 B -
Tom Sheehan's work sinee he
joined the Crackers this season
brings back to our memory the
?romflrnchlnx “Rube” Bressgler rr
ormed for the locals back in 1917,
At that time “Rube” and Tom were
great pals, and they could -fmn
Ross for Billy Kelly. And the Kelly
horse almost !mmed{iataly after
ward became the turf sensation of
1918, He won one stake x‘t‘er an
other and from the time S 8 ac
quired him until the end of the year
he suffered but one defeat, His
winnings ran close to the SIOO,OOO
mark for 1918,
Ross paid $15,000 to John Madden
for Sir Barton, the three year old.
Just the other day he refused Mad
den's offfer of SIOO,OOO for Sir Bar
ton. The Barton horse so far this
vear has won over $75,000-—and wne
season is only a little more than
half over, ‘
Milkmaid, bred by Madden, cost
Ross SIO,OOO, She ranked quickly
as one of the greatest fillies of 1918
and Ross, it is said, won close to
SIOO,OOO in bets on her. Ca.mpn.l?-
ing the filly last season and t
has rewarded Ross with stake wi
nings nearly triple her cost price,
BOUGHT THREE STARS.
When A. K. Macomber decided
to quitGracmg, Ross jumped in with
a $75,000 bid for his three stars—
Motor Cog{, War Pennant and War
Marvel, e got them—and he has
never regretted his bargain. Of
the three, Motor Cop alone has
really been consistent. The other
two ha‘ven't shown much so far.
But thty may round into winning
form befofe the summer is done.
Or perhaps, like some ether great
racers, they may show nothing un
til their four year racing.
The stable that Ross has assem
bled has cost him over $150,000. But
in the time since he has owned
those seven truly greats of the turf
world his purse winnings have been
amazing, while he has won hugely’
in bets on his own steeds. And
it must be remembered that not
one of the seven is really through
as a runner yet, and the group per
haps will win $350,000 or more for
Ross before they are reticed for
all time.
All of which makes Ross smile a
bit when he recalls what the sup
posedly shrewd men of the Ameri
can turf told him at the outset:
“you'll be a sure loser if you try
to buy a ready made racing stable.
Breed and develop your own horses
—that's the only"way." - -
be seen apart. Bressler toward the
tail end of the 1917 campaign was
a tower of strength to the local
club, while Tom's arm went back
on him and” he did but little work
at the close of the season. Now
“Rube” is up in the big show,
while Tom is deing just as good
work here now as “Rube” did in
1917, and unless we are very much
mistaken both of them will be in
the majors next year,
) 2 X 9 4
As for Sammy Mayer, . the
Cracker captain also deserves a
great deal of credit. His wonderful
personality has done much to keep
the spirit of the local elub at high
tide throughout the season, and he
is also a great gardener when it
comes to pulling down the long ones
and shoting the “pill” to any of
the sacks. !
Yes, we'll have to hand it to the
three “vets” on the eclub. They
surely deserve to share the glory of
victory with the “Boy Wonders” on
the team. " |

This year, by the way, is a tough
one for the champs.
Ted Lewis dropped his when he
hooked up with Jack Britton in tho‘
76th reel of their serial fight. v
Jess Willard's title was his only
until he rrised his hands at Toledo,
and took one on the chin.
Johnny Kilbane's title is hanging
by a thread, the general lUppool*
tion being that the first feather
weight to meet him in a real fight
will take it away.
Durack and Wylie, world’s T-nt
