SPORT DOPE
Why Not Visit England?
New York. —Reports that two big
league baseball clubs will tour Ire
land and parts of continental Europe
again next wnter have led to several
requests that the teams visit England
during the trip. This is accepted as
bearing out the statements that base
ball is really gaining a following in
the British Isles- Writing on the
subject a well-known American ath
lete now abroad states there is evi
dence that cricket is losing some of
its popularity among English sports
devotees. His comments follow:
“The White Sox and the Giants
made more of an impression in Eng
land than one would suspect Iron,
reading the newspaper accounts of
the game in the English papers. I
have found out that the English ap
preciated the speed of our game as
compared to cricket; that they mar
velled at the accurate throwing and
catching and liked the idea of the
game being completed in one after
noon instead of three days as cricket
does. I am told that cricket is los
ing its hold on the people, that base
ball clubs have already been formed
and that many have given up cricket
for tennis. The opportunities for
playing both baseball and tennis are
far greater there than in the larger
cities of the eastern states.
“For instance, London, which sets
the athletic fashion for England, is
infintely superior to New York as a
training ground /for athletes, princi
pally because of the hundreds of
parks, called squares, where there
are tennic courts and a large space
in which to exercise or play baseball.
Anw one who lives in the houses sur
rounding these parts is entitled to
the use of the courts and exercise
grounds, and there are so many of
these parks that almost everyone has
an opportunity to get good healthy
exercise, especially in the summer
time, when the light lasts until nine
o’clock in the evening
Billiards.
William Hoppe, the world’s cbam-
pion balke line billiard player, has
started practice for his match at
English billiards to be played against
Melbourne Inman, the English title
holder. Inman arrived in this coun
try last week and will in all. proba
bility proceed to Montreal, where he
will prepare for the matches which
are to include both the English and
balke line games.
Yachting.
It is reported that an Australian
owned yacht, manned by an Austra
lian amateur crew, will take part in
the Olympic regatta and other Euro
pean yachting features in 1916. Wal
ter Marks of the Royal Sydney Yacht
Squadron and Royal Prince Alfred
Yacht Club, who is the moving spirit
of Australian yachting, is greatly in
terested In the project and will un
doubtedly be prominent in the build
ing and manning of the yacht.
Track Meet.
According to American athletes in
various European track meets the
American trainers, who accepted po
sitions to coach foreign Olympic
teams, are not finding the berths as
congenial as tney expected.
Ernie Hjerlberg, recently resigned
as athletic supervisor to the Swedish
teams. It is alleged that Hjertberg
decided to resign because of the lack
of discipline among the Swedish
clubs and athletes. Strong Influence
has been brought to bear by sport
leaders to persuade Hjertberg to
withdraw his resignation, now lodged
with the Swedish Olympic Commit
tee. But this will not succeed, it is
believed, unless the refractlry ath
letes agree to follow orders.

BETTER BABIES
The crusade for better babies has

firm hold of American Mothers. Few
women realize how much the ill health
of the mother influences the unborn
child, both physically and mentally.

pains, backache, nervousness, mental
depression, headaches, etc., should rely

What It Takes To Make
'Augusta Day’ a Success
„y ...
The Long Looked For Benefit Day Comes Wednesday—M.
& M. Baseball Committees Started Another Tour of the
Business Houses This Morning—3,ooo Fans Expected.
The long-looked-for “Augusta Dav’’
is almost a thing of the present. In
fact there’s but one more clay to pass
and then—BENEFIT DAY, the last
game of the series with the Macon
Tigers, Wednesday afternoon, the
game being called at 5:15 o’clock.
The M. & M. baseball committee
again started on their tour of the
business houses this morning at 10
o’clock and upon reporting this after
noon the result of their work was that
about 500 more seats added to the
1,000 tickets already sold. At the rate
that the tickets are going now it is
estimated that fully 3,000 loyal Augus
ta baseball fans will attend this game.
This large number will be swelled a
little by three companies of National
Guardsmen, who are going down to
the park to root for their representa
tives, the Macon- Tigers. But, how
ever, with the tremendous crowd of
Augusta fans attending this game, the
"enemy’s rooters” will hardly be heard,
so there’s no worry on this score.
Majority to Close.
The majority of the stores on the
seven and eight hundred blocks of
Broad street will close their doors at
5 o'clock in order to give their clerks
a chance to boost the Augusta team
for the pennant. Special cars will

while “Lefty” Lewis will he the prob
able slabsman for the Tigers.
Manager Brouthers has undoubtedly
the best improved team, this second
half, than any in the circuit and it will
require the Tigers’ best efforts to take
at least one game out of the three
scheduled. The local team's only defi
ciency has been in the pitching staff,
but however this “weak spot” has been

“THE HAVOC” TODAY
A Strong Play-lntensely Interesting.
Tonight at the Bijou Paul Gilmore
and his excellently balanced company
will be seen in H. S. Sheldon's pow
erful drama, "The Havor," in which
Mr. Gilmore starred last season and
which play and player created na
tional popularity and drew crowded
houses almost everywhere. The press
in general has concurred in the great
ness of the play, its far-reaching and
potent Influence, its gripping theme,

by giving the fans plenty of time to
get down to the park before the game
begins.
Everything has been successful "o
far and, judging from the enthusiasm
shown by the fans, this event will
wind up as the success of the baseball
club in capturing the last half of the
rag, and then for the big fight with
the Savannah Indians for the cham
pionship of the South Atlantic League.
Championship,
But, however, to capture this cham
pionship. there’s certainly got to be
a "record breaker" attending this
game, and at the clip that the tickets
have been sold and are going now
there’s going to be one. The only
thing that will keep this movement
from being a success is for the fans
to fall down at the last moment, but
this ..ill hardly be done, for one and
everyone of them realize how Impor
tant this event is. One can never tell
these days just what is going to hap
pen. so the best and surest way to
do to make sure of success is for all
the fans that intend attending this
game to get hold of one that has not
given the matter thought, and just talk
him into going.
“Augusta Day’’ will be a success.

The net result that the whole ag

a good humor and now anxious to
tackle the Tigers. This game will be
pulled off the same time as in the past,

Manager Brouthers stated that the

well as the fans wanted them to do so,
and that as the “forward movement"
was congenial there can be no other
result than that the club will continue
to soar upwards.

J. O. D. Bennett in "Record - Herald.”- i
Its pungent dialogue, the extraor<Jl*"
nary tension of its simple climaxes, its
keen characterization and its sound
moral purpose combine to make “The
Havoc” one of the most refreshing
plays of the times. It dispels the
moral vapors that cloud the vision of
many people who have espoused loose
doctrines under the impression that
they have safeguarded “the rights of
the soul” and serving the cause of the
individual will.
