Lightweight Wbo Strove Val
iantly to Regain Title Has
Made More Money Than Any
His Weight in Game.
New York.—Ad Wolgast who strove
so valiantly to regain his title from
Freddie Welsh a week ago Monday,
has earned more money in the ring
than any lightweight in the history of
the game. Adolph who for several
years, struggled along under the ap
pellation of the ‘‘Cheese Champion”
(inflicted upon him by Battling Nel
son) has poured a mite over SBOO,OOO
into his coffers sinee he adopted box
ing as a profession seven years ago.
Of this vast sum, Promoter Tom
McCarey chipped in over $90,000 in
the farm of purses. The other Coast
Promoter Jim Coffroth contributed
somewhat over SBO,OOO in purses.
The largest lump sum Wolgast ever
received for one battle was $47,000 for
his fight with Jose Rivers, at Vernon,
Calif., on July 4th. two years ago.
Rivers was knocked out in thirteen
rounds. Wolgast received $20,097 as
his end of the receipts and $27,000 for
his moving picture rights. The re
reipts totalled $43,000.
Eleven Mills.
Wolgast has engaged In no less than
eleven fights, In which the receipts
aggregated over $25,000. Little Ad has
never suffered the ignominy of a
knockout, and has been floored but
twice in his ring career—once when
he won the title from Nelson and the
other time when he lost the premier
honors to Ritchie.
Adolphus has the betting fever in
the most aggravated form. He never
falls to haok himself heavily for a
fight, as he says that is the Inspira
tion he need: to battle In his best
form. In hi* championship battle
with Nelson, Wolgast backed himself
to the extent of $5,400. which he won
and he lost $7,000 In wagers when he
passed over the title to Ritchie.
And all this despite the fart that
Wolgast's hands are brittle. The dl
munitlve Michigander Is the unlucklest
first rank fighter in the game and he
has lost close to $160,000 through In

THE NERVE OF SOME PEOPLE! MACON, THE
CITY WITH POOREST ATTENDANCE IN SALLY,
TALKS ABOUT AUGUSTA GIVING UP FRANCHISE
It’s a Great Big Joke-- Montgomery Wants to Come Into the
Sally, and the Story via Macon Says Franchise of Colum
bus, Albany or Augusta Must Be Had.
Over in Macon, —thP~city which had
tlte poorest attendance in the entire
South Atlantic League, being far un
der even the small town of Albany,—
The News lias the nerve to print a
story from Montgomery stating that
the Alabama city wants a franchise in
the Sally League and was prepared
to get the Augusta, Columbus or Al
bany franchise. It seems to Augusta
fans that if any city should get out
of the Sally it should be Macon, con
sidering the Central City's poor (at
tendance.
In the Montgomery Journal’s story,
which is reprinted in The News, men
tion is made of Augusta being dis
satisfied. That is the first Augusta
fans have heard of this city being dis
satisfied. 'i’he schedule for past sea
son was poorly arranged and that
caused a little kick, but this was not
serious. ,
President Kaibfleisch laughs at the
idea of Augusta giving up her fran
chise to Montgomery or any one else
and says that Macon should he care
ful that she doesn't lose her own.
Here is what The News says:
"Montgomery is taking kindly to
the movement started recently to
place it in the South Atlantic League.
It recognizes the Sally as one As the
pepperlest little baseball organiza
tions in the country. But just which
franchise Montgomery could secure is
a matter of conjecture. There are
three franchises which Montgomery s
flirting with. These are Columbus,
Albany and Augusta. The Montgom
ery Journal comments as follows:
“When Charlie Jones made an an
nouncement in Birmingham Saturday
to the effect that Montgomery would
have a franchise in the South Atlantic
I .oa.-ne the Montgomery fans began
to wonder.
"The Sally League is just about the
liveliest and most peppery little base
ball organization in the United States
of North America. It is ably man
aged, has a set of mighty good 'rules
and is governed by one Nic Corish of
Savannah. What it takes to be a reg-
and take care of a
league, Nic Corish certainly does pos
sess. as the minstrel men would say.

SALLY REDUCE
SALARY LIMIT ?
National Association of Profes
sional Baseball Leagues Sug
guest SI,OOO Limit For South
Atlantic.
The South Atlantic League Is given
until this afternoon to agree on a
salary limit for Its placers.
A horizontal reduction of 20 per
cent In the salary limit of minor
league clubs was recommended yes
terday by the committee on constitu
tional revision of the National Asso
ciation of Professional Baseball
Leagues. The suggestion has been
adopted by the class A and B leagues.
Clubs in class AA leagues were per
mitted to revise their limit fittingly
to their service.
It Is suggested that class C league
leagues, the South Atlantic being in
this class, have a salary limit of
$1,200.
Yesterday when this proposed
change was suggested it was claimed
by several class C and D league rep
resentatives (Class I> also being af
fected i that their leagues would be
unable to live under the proposed
measure. Therefore these two classes
being undecided, were given until this
afternoon to decide.
Up until the time that The Herald
went to press nothing had been heard
as to whether the lengueg would adopt
these changes nr not.

tion are on their way to the majors,
not coming down from fast company.
They must make good if ttiey want
the scouts to pick them up. There are
no 'has beens’, or ‘never-wassers' in
the Sally. They are young fellows,
full of pep and have given the Sally
League a nation-wide reputation.
“There are eight teams, or rather
there were last season, in the South
Atlantic: Columbus. Albany, Macon,
Augusta, Columbia. S. C., Charleston,
S C., Savannah, Jacksonville. Just
what franchise is available is largely
a matter of conjecture. Columbus
seems the most likely bet. The club
lost heavily last season and had pretty
tough luck despite the able manage
ment of Jim Fox, the Connie Mach
of the South. The Connie Mack of the
North lost, also, so it Is no particular
reflection on Jim's ability. Albany
supports a team pretty well. Colum
bus and Albany are the geographical
bujaboos of the Sally. There was
some talk of both being eliminated
and the league going back to a six
team basis.
Augusta is dissatisfied. They claim
they got a series of rough deals but
the complaint proved to be unfounded
as they objected to rule rather than
to treatment. With the dissatisfied
Augusta out of the league, Albany
and Columbus out because of geogra
phy it ought to be easy for Mont
gomery to pick up a franchise. How
ever, this is only conjecture. Char
leston supports a ball team like the
German army supports the kaiser—
with solid formation, Columbia, 8.
C„ would not sell their franchise for
ninety trillion dollars. Jacksonville Is
the same way as Columbia. Savan
nah has won two pennants in succes
sion and is strong for the Sally
League. By the process of elimination
the teams are brought down to Co
lumbus, Albany and Augusta.
"It is pretty safe to say that If
Montgomery gets a Sally franchise it
will come from one of the three men
tioned. wdth the odds on Columbus.
"But come what may, it means the
dawntng of an era of sute enough
baseball in Montgomery.”
FOOTBALL GROWING

New York.—There are those who
contend that football's popularity Is

of "such brutal strife." We have read
a few such comments by fellow New

against them, all we feel urged to do
is point to the fact that Princeton’.!

Stadium Is being dedicated today by
the largest crowd that ever saw any
thing in the state of New Jersey and
that next Saturday at New Haven tho
Harvard game will be witnessed by
the greatest throng, that ever attend

enclosure the world has known, the
new Yale Bowl.
Only a few years ago a crowd of
25,000 st a big football game was re
garded as remarkable. Now the game
has reached the point where between
60,000 and 70,000 are to see the Har
vard-Yule game. If this Indicates a
loss of interest, then Europe Is at
peace and Rockefeller is a pauper.

HIIM BEINGS
SUSCEPTIBLE TO
CUTTLE DISEASE
Plague , Now Raging In 14
States Communicable! to
Humans, Says Department of
Agriculture. Effect, Howewer,
is Rarely Serious.
Washington, D. C.—Foot and mouth
disease now raging among cattle in
fourteen states is communicable to
humans, the Department of Agricul
ture announced today, but its effect
rarely is serious. The department
urged however, that humans keep
away from diseased cattle to avoid
spreading the infection, and recom
mended the use of Pasteurized milk.
The Statement.
The statement said in part:
"The anxiety that has been ex
pressed in several quarters in regard
to the effect upon human health of the
present outbreak of the foot and mouth
disease is regarded by government au
thorities as somewhat exaggerated.
The most common fear is that the milk
supply might become contaminated,
hut in view of the precaution! that
local authorities in the infected areas
are very generally taking, there Is
comparatively little dancer of this.
The milk from infected farme Is not
permitted to be shipped at all. The
only danger is, therefore, that before
the disease has manifested Itself «om«
infected milk might reach the market.
For this reason, experts in the De
partment of Agriculture recommend
pasteurization.
Pasteurization.
‘lt has been demonstrated by experi
ments which have been made In Den
mark and tiermany that pasteurization
will serve as a safeguard against con
tagion from the foot and mouth dis
ease just as readily as it does against
typhoid fever, but In ny event It must
be thoroughly done.
“In this country the foot and mouth
disease has been so fare that there are
few recorded cases of its transmission
to human beings. As long as the dis
ease can he confined by rigid quaran
tine to certain speolfled areas, the dan
ger from this source is very small
Should the pestilence spread all over
this country and become as general as
it has been at various times In large
areas in Europe, the problem would
become more serious. tinder any cir
cumstances, however, pasteurization
would be an efficient remedy. Where
pasteurisation le not poselbla and
where there le any reason to suspect
that the disease may exiet, this pre
caution of boiling t.illk might he ad
visable.
Become Infected.
“Men who come in contact with dis
eased animals may also become In
fected. Where It le very prevalent
among anlmala. some authorities be
lieve that It Is fairly general among
human beings, hut that the disturb
ances It causes are usually so slight
that they are not brought to the at
tention of the family physician.
“The disease in short, is dangerous
because of the loss that It occasion*
to property and not because of Its ef
fects upon the health of mankind. At
present all Infected horde are being
