JMUtil M IDEPJ ' If CSiLECFHIG COIN 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 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. "The Sally League is a going-up’ 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. YALE READY.

The players in this organiza 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 IN POPULARITY AS SHOWN BY RECORDS New York.—There are those who contend that football's popularity Is dying out, that the public Is tiring of "such brutal strife." We have read a few such comments by fellow New Yorkers lately, but as arguments against them, all we feel urged to do is point to the fact that Princeton’.! tremendous new Palmer Memorial 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 ed any sporting event, In the hugest 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.
