INCREASE FAST
Vanderbilt MADE CHAIRMAN
OF COMMITTEE
OLYMPIC ATHLETES WILL RE-
cEIVE WELCOME
Elaborate Preparations Being Made In
New York for Gigantic Recep-
ton of the Victorious
Team

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-Alfred
Gwyne Vanderbilt has accepted the
craftsmanship of the general commit
tee of the Olympic reception commit
tee and has contributed $500 to the
funds. Mr.. Vanderbilt's letter, which
is dated Newport, r. l., indicates that
he Will take an active part in the re-
ception. Contributions are coming in
daily, and it is expected that there
will be enough money subscribed to
cover all the expenses, including the
medals. The total amount received and
promised up to last night was $4,000.
With the possible exception of Mar
tin J. Sheridan, every athlete who
competed in the Olympic games will
be on hand for the celebration on Aug
ust 29.
Five more athletes will sail from
Liverpool today on the White Star
steamer Baltic. They are Robert
Cloughan, George v. Bonhag, Joseph
Bromilow, jr., Lee Talbot and J. r.
Reilly. The cablegram announcing the
calling Of the men also stated that
Lawson Robertson, Dan J. Kelley,
Charles r. Bacon, Harry F. Porter.
Melvin w. Sheppard, Joseph p. Sulli-
van, Harvey w. Cohn and J. b. Tay-
lor will sail tomorrow on the Maure-
tania, which will arrive about the
same time as the Baltic.
Gen. Fred d. Grant yesterday issued
orders through his chief of STAFF, Col
Sanderson, for the regular troops to
take part in the parade. Owing to
the scarcity of troops at Governors
island the troops will be detailed from
Fort Hamilton and Fort Wadsworth,
and will consist of four companies and
the band of the Twelfth battery of ar
tillery.

had the pleasure of seeing hts Judgment
regarding the relative merits of the
fighters fully indicated. Charlie
picked both winners.
Freddie Welsh issued a challenge last
night in the Vernon ring to any light
weight in the world for a $4,000 side
bet. This side bet goes for ringside
weight only. Welsh is there with the
money, too, as he believes. and has
friends with money who also believe,
that he can be champion of the world
any time he can get the champion to
fight him. The popularity of the little
Welshman was given further proof
when he was introduced, as the fans
gave him rousing reception.
Hen Berry and ]. Cal Ewing will
pass several days at Catalina. Dave
Ewing, cousin of the league president,
also will be with them. The party will
remain on the island or whereabouts
until Monday evening. They are due
back in Los Angeles that afternoon to
have final conference with the local
sportsmen who expect to finance the
new southern club in the league. They
conferred yesterday and Ewing told
them what he would expect and they
assured him that they will come forth
with ''the goods" ere the Monday con-
ference. Ewing says that he now has
no doubts at all regarding continuous
baseball in Los Angeles. The local men
have faith in the success of the team
and are ready to put their money into
the club. That settles 1t.
Bubbles Robinson kicked in last night
with challenge to Billy Snailham, and
offered a side bet of 500. This Bubbles
person is some cleverness and speed,
and Snailham will not be picking up
any easy money when he meets the
local black wonder. 1t would make a
pretty fight.

HUNTING AND FISHING

"I- guess there were not many goats
left after we got through with them,
said George Wingfield of Goldheld ano
San Francisco, who returned to the
Alexandria hotel yesterday after two
weeks hunting and fishing outing at
Catalina. 81 do not know whether
broke the record or not, but eleven
goats in two days is pretty GOOD
Wingfield married Miss Maud Muir
dock in San Francisco July 80 ana
brought his bride directly to Los An
geles. They have divided their time
between Catalina and the Alexandra.
He is an enthusiastic sportsman ana
showed the effects of his hunting ana
fishing excursions by the deep coat OF
tan on his face. He was very enthu-
siastic over the sport at Catalina.
"Goat shooting is excellent sport"
he commented. "They were as lively
as deer or antelope and very hard TO
kill. used a $3.50 Winchester, but one
has to shoot right to bring them down.
We went after them on saddle horses
and rode over the toughest sort OF
country. I did some fishing also: Last
week 1t was exceptionally good. We
caught barracuda, yellowtail and abb
core. We did not try for Jewish, and
there are no tuna there now. The vel
lowtail especially are good fighters. We
caught fifteen of them, weighing from
fourteen to twenty-five pounds each"
In the party with Mr.. Wingfield were
H. G. Cutler, DR.. d. A. Turner. B. w.
Hamilton and Frank Taylor, all of
Goldtleld.
G. H. Ingram will leave Los Angeles
Monday for months hunting and
fishing trip among the mountains in
the southern part of California He
will be accompanied by his brother.
B. L. Ingram, ana G. H. Dorsey. All
the men are old hunters and for many
seasons past have not missed their
annual hunting trip.
A Sunday fishing party to Catalina
island will consist of Mr.. and Mrs. HI.
w. Wilson, Mr.. and Mrs. Williams.
George Bresee and w. B. Mortimer.
1t will be the first time that any of
the sextette ever fished with three
six line, but this fact in no way damp
ems their expectations that they will
have a good day Of sport.
B. d. Dyas of the Dyas-C1ine sport
ing goods house is enthusiastic over
trout fishing. He said yesterday: "Take
your seaside fishing, but give me
mountain brook, stout line and let
me whip the stream for big, juicy
trout" He is planning a fishing trip
to one of the many mountain camps
which lie in the surrounding mountains.
DR.. Treen will leave the city today
for Catalina island, where he will pass
few days fishing for yellowtail. The
doctor is an enthusiastic fisherman and
member OF the Southern California
Rod and Reel club.
None of the local sporting goods
houses have received any reports of
returning hunters for the past two
days and consider deer hunting at its
lowest ebb.

A l. KAUFMAN and Jim Flynn will
n put on extra programs for tomor-
~ row at their fight camps, and will
box more than the ordinary number of
rounds. Cliff Reuman, the clever anna
teur from the Los Angeles Athletic
club, will work today with Al, and also
will box with him tomorrow afternoon.
Flynn is going at the rough house
workouts with a vengeance, and is
whipping himself into excellent condi-
ton, despite that he has found 1t rather
difficult to engage satisfactory spar
ring partner. AS this big pair will
fight Tuesday night at McCarey's pa
vilion. the Sunday workouts really will
be the final training of both, although
each will do light work Monday. Cen
eral opinion is greatly divided regard
ing the prospects of Flynn defeating
the long native son, and the mere fact
that, regardless of the result, there is
to be one great big rough house while
1t lasts is sufficient to create more than
ordinary interest in the scrap. 1t is
one of the best cards McCarey has
staged in a long time.

The Location of the Wirz Monument
atlanta Constitution

Worthy of especial and com
mendable attention is the suggestion
which comes from two prominent
Americas women, members of the
committee from the Daughters of the
Confederacy to locate the site of the
proposed monument to Captain
Wirz that the date of unwilling be
postponed to give time to consider
erection of the shaft elsewhere than
at Andersonville.
Coming as it does from women not
only members of the organization
back of the movement to pay proper
tribute to Captain Wirz but who have
been directly interested in this work
of devotion, this suggestion con-
tains more significance and must
command more attention than had it
proceeded from any other source.
These ladies, Mrs. j. E. Mathis,
president, and Mrs. James Taylor
/ both of the Americas chapter to
which will be entrusted the care and
protection of this monument, urge
that it be erected in Americas rath-
er than Andersonville, where not
only would it be seldom seen by
sOutherners, but would serve to
irritate the hundreds of northern
visitors to the national cemetery To-
Gated there Of such a monument
located at Andersonville these ladies
say:
ut will stir up the bitterest ami
mostly and hatred in the hearts of all
northern visitors coming there, and
keep alive a feeling that we have
been trying to overcome for forty
years. Is it the best way to make
of us one nation, one people, under
one flag?
"They do not object to our put
ting up monuments to our people at
other places, but right at their own
cemetery, away from the world, as
it were, except for northern visi-
tors, seems like throwing it con-
stantly in their faces, so as to keep
trouble brewing"
No criticism could be more true or
timely
Our memories of and tributes to
our dead are our family affairs, to
be held sacred to our own homes and
hearthstones. 1t is not wise that any
act be done in Georgia or the south
which would serve to revive that bit
terness or animosity now long since
lost in a growing nationalism which
has brought all sections together in
harmony and peace.
Erect the monument to Captain
Wirz, but put it where no miscon-
struction can be placed upon the
tribute.

A NARROW VIEWPOINT.

Bunyan drew an immortal picture
of the man with the muck rake who
could not know the beauty of the
stars because he kept his head bent
down while he raked.
All that was needed was to lifI
up his eyes, but so intent was the mar
on material things that he could
see nothing of the beauties above
him.
Except for the hiatus in time, Bun
yam might have had for his tex
paragrapher on the Augusta Chron-
icle, who must have been looking
through near-sighted spectacles fol
so long that he cannot grasp a broad
er vision
Here is how he sizes up the effor
to prevent the Wirz monument beins
placed at Andersonville:
The Americas Board of Trade has
announced that it will make a deter
mined effort to secure the Wir1
monument for Americas. Something
mental nerve, but we scarcely think
the Daughters of the Confederacy are
erecting the Wirz for booming pur-
poses.
1t would appear to be useless tC
waste words of explanation on {
man who has no further insight into
the meaning of the Wirz monument
except that it is an advertising
scheme But it will not be out oil
place to assure the paragrapher thai
there is something higher involved
than the location of a box factory, Oh
a near-beer dispensary, which sub
jects could no doubt be readily appre-
ciated in Augusta.
In the meantime the efforts to pre-
vent a monumental mistake being
made by placing the Wirz monument
at Andersonville will continue re-
CARELESS of the insinuations of the
Chronicles Photographer that it is
all for booming purposes"

Gov. Smith takes the view that the
Stephens bill, for the organization OF
a second military force fin Georgia
independent of the present organiza-
ton, does not necessitate the forma-
ton of such commands except when
the governor deems it necessary OF
advisable Just now he sees no rea-
son for their existence. This seems
to be an indirect way of vetoing Saw
annah's idea. The governor has sign
ed the bill, however.
