Most unfortunate it was that both

other going West. But being there,
Fitzsimmons felt in duty bound to call

BOBBY WAL THOUR WILL SEE

Cycle Champion Will Cheer His Former Trainer
on Night of Oct g.

Bobby Walthour will be one of the
familiar faces to Bobby Thompson at
the ring side on the night that he
meets Herman Miller before the Savan-
nah Athletic Club.
Thompson received a letter from
Walthour yesterday wishing him the
best of luck in his coming encounter,
and stated that he would be on hand
on the night of the fight to cheer him
on. Walthour and Thompson are old
time friends. 1t was Thompson that
put the Georgia boy in winning form
when he went into the six-day bicycle
race in New York two years ago, and
a hundred hard fought battles the two
have won together, Thompson as pace
maker and Walthour as follower.
Thompson needs but little work to
get him in condition for the go with
Miller. The work that he is doing now
is to reduce flesh so that he can make
the agreed weight on the afternoon of
the go. When he leaves off boxing

CHARGES PROFESSIONALISM
AGAINST MERCER PLAYERS
Capt. Maynard and InfeIder stakeIy
VIII BE Accused.


VIII BE Accused.
Charges of professionalism have been
preferred against Capt. Maynard and
infielder Davis stakely of the Mercer
baseball team and a meeting of the
athletic council will be held at Macon
in few days to investigate these
charges.
] Mercer University has the reputa-
ton all over the South for favoring
clean athletics, and the fact that the
charges were brought against these
two players on the Mercer team by a
member of the faculty bears out the
efforts that are made to keep out any
professionalism. Both Maynard and
Stakely played ball all summer after
they had left school and the men,
Der of the faculty bringing these
charges against them says that he
can prove that they received more
than their expenses for the games
that they played in.
Maynard was one of the best college
pitchers on the Southern diamond last
year. and If he is ruled out of the Mer-
Ger team it will be serious loss.
Stakely was also a star on the Mer-
Ger team, playing second base. He
broke the Southern r-collegiate rec
ord for 100 yards run at Macon last
spring, and was considered the best
base runner on any Southern team.

FJTZ CALLED ON JEFF
AND GOT COOL RECEPTION
BoiIermaker Snubbed Lanky Bob When They
Met at Chicago.

Several times he made the same trip
that day, only to meet with the same
reply, Mr.. Jeffries says he is not at
home. Will Mr.. Fitzsimmons call
later?" Finally the thought came to
the ex-champion that he was being
toyed with, and, what was more fore
ible, that Jeffiries did not want to re-
new their friendship. Just who woke
him up, or what he said, will never be
known, but that same evening he took
train for the region of the Golden Gate.
Earlier than is his usual wont JEFF
fries was up and asking for the papers
the next morning, to see what the eff
feet of his snub had been. If he ex-
pected Fitzsimmons to rush into print
and say harsh things he was sadly dis
appointed, for like the Arab, Bob had
silently folded his tents and gone his
way. Even this seemed to relieve JEFF
fries, for he voiced his feelings in this
manner:
"Well, he's off at last. 1 guess I've
seen the last Of him for some time"
