Jack O’Brien Will Meet

Dr Private I-eased Wirt.
Philadelphia, Pa., July 9.—That thaw la
going to bt a rtal fight whan "Philadelphia
Jack" O'Brien and 8am Berger meet In the
ring of the National Athletic Club next
Monday night la aura. Everything proven
thin. The men are training an hard aa they
know bow, are already In ahape, nnd each
la poaltlve that he will knock the other'a
block off.
Of courae, O'Brien, confident an a cham
pion ohould In, ncoffa at the Idea of fall
ing before Berger, Imt the enant boy haa
weight and lota of atrength, and a wallop
that doee damage every time it landa.
Added to Berger's accompllahmenta la con
fidence In hla ability to lick the world.
O'llrleo la In training here, and la an
buay aa a fighter ever wan. He la not
taking any chancnn, nnd la far from un
dercut! mating hla opponent. While he lookn
on Berger aa a aure victim, he tralna aa
though be were going to meet Jeffriea,
figuring that It la a lot better to bo ready
for anything In the surprise package lino
that may be handed out to blui. lie real-
taea that with Berger It la do or die, and
that he trill fight with deaperatlon, for
the fight meana everything to him If he can
win. To O'Brien, victory doea not mean
anywhere near aa much, but defeat meana
the end of hla ring career.
In a talk today, O'Brien had the fol
lowing to aay:
"You can take It from me that 1 am
rendy to fight my beat battle. 1 liave never
been accused of being foolish. Home peo
ple aay 1 never made a match that I can
not win, but that la rot. I am In the
game to win, for there ts more money In
wlunlng than losing. It's the money 1 am
after.
"This Berger haa a lot of weight on me,
and that counts. For that reason, I am
training aa hard as I know how. Then
friends tell me the kid Is fast. That Is
another advantage. But 1 am sure he
will have to weigh a ton, and be as fast
as chain lightning, to Itcat me, and I
guess he Is not up to those specifications.
"Then the bout Is to go but six rounds,
nnd I am naturally looking for a terrific
fight."
Diamond Dope—That’s All
Shreveport and New Orleans went a dosen
Innings Haturday before a decision.could
l>e reached. Just as darkness had almost
made the tmll Invisible, Manuel made a
long hit and won the game. Mighty eaay
thing to switch the ball In the dark that
way.
Those games with Little Rock on which
Charley Babb was counting to seud him
flying pennnntward are not helping aa much
as he must have thought. Haturday the
Bluffers dropped two in succession to tho
Travelers, and Hunday It took Llebbardt
and a shower of rain to pull the Mem
phis bunch through to victory.
What Is the matter with the Houth At
lantic? Rows are becoming an every-day
occurrence, and disgraceful scenes are al
together too common.
* With the dead wood cot out of the Gear-
gla Hints League It looks as though that
plucky organisation ought to last the
son out
The fresh crop of American league bat
ting averages show that the ex-Houthern
League players are still holding up their
end. "Nig" t.'larke, once of Atlanta and
uow with Cleveland, la fifth In the league,
with a per cent of .343. Only Elberfeld,
Htone. the mighty Lajnle and Chase are
ahead of him. Dygert, last year'a spit ball
wonder, Is up with the elect, with an
average of .331. Rohe. with New Orleans
last year. Is aafely altovo the .360 mark,
while llann, who la batting .343, Is not so
fnr below It. Koehler, of 8t. Louis, and
Dolehanty, of New York, are anchored at
the .333 mark, nnd Niles, who was the bat
• great
—. — „—.
C. Smith are even lower. Both are moored
at the .212 buoy. Cobb, now with Detroit,
an average of .319 to hla credit.
That Hhreveport team Is an awful prop
osition, and It will take mighty baseball
to put Rob Gllka' men out of the run
ning.

ATLANTA PLAYERS WIN
CHAMPIONSHIP IN DOUBLES
The Southern tennla championship came
to an end Saturday afternoon at East Lake
with the playing of the final rounds In the
doubles, consolation and women's singles.
The doubles championship of the Houth
went finally to Grant and Thornton, the
Atlanta team, but only after five of aa hard-
fought seta ns local tennla enthusiasts have
ever seen.
Hunt and Lee, the University of Mlchlgnn
team, had evidently studied the game of
tho local players, and learned the -ob
vious fact there wna little chance of lM*at-
Ing them by a "slamming" game. Ho they
studied out a defensive game, which con
sisted mostly of lobs. They made few at
tempts to take the net, but settled Into
the tuick of the conrt and put every ball
that came their way high.In the air.
Thla game of Incessant loin waa some
thing of a novelty to the local team, and
It nearly accomplished their downfall. The
Atlantans won the first act 6-2, byt they
dropped the next one by the sauio score,
and the third one 34. With the seta 2 to 1
against them. Grant and Thornton went ou
the defensive themselves, and more careful
ly played games have seldom lioen seen In
Atlanta. Both aldca played safe as far as
possible, and almost every point
stretched over a considerable length of
time. After the local team began to get
familiar with the lobbing game, they took
things Into their own hands, and won the
fourth set 6-3 and the fifth 6-2. This
gave them tho match, the title and the pos
session of the two handsome cups, for Da
vidson and Glaxebronk did not defend,
and the challenge round weut to the local
team by default.
Heguln won the consolation round In

Mlaa l*ognii took tho ladles* champion
ship In straight seta from Miss Brown,
of Atlanta. The local player made some
brilliant strokes, and waa strong In serving,
but lacked the practlco which made the
game played by the New Orlcnus girl prac
tically Invincible. Miss Marie Weimar, of
Washington, the previous Southern - woman
champion, did not defend the title, and
the challenge round went to Mias- Logan
by default.
After the dosing matches of the after
noon, the large crowd which turned.out to
the play gathered around a table In
court No. 1, where the prises were display
ed; and the cups and other trophies were
presented to the winners by George Adair,
president of the Atlanta Athletic Club.
This presentation cloned the first Houth-
rn tennis championship ever held In At
lanta, and brought to a fitting end the
best tournament ever played In the Houth.
