O'Day'S "ROughneck'
Days Are Recalled

Writing in the Atlanta Journal Of
Hank O'Day's appointment as manager
OF the Reds. Charles J. Lamar has the
Following interesting story to tell:
THE appointment of Hank O'Day to
nag the Cincinnati Reds recalls
the season of 1856. when he was the
star pitcher of the Savannah cam.
on August 20, 1886, the final game of
the season was played at Peters Park,
when the Atlanta and Savannah teams
locked horns in the most memorable
game known to the Southern League
for all time, so far as my knowledge
goes. There was pandemonium and
bedlam broke loose in Georgia from the
getaway, and even the old-timers failed
to help cases. Nothing to it.
THE feeling between the players was
aerce, and the fans were frantic with
excitement, which was accumulated by
the absence of John McQuade, the
league umpire, who made his getaway
on the night before because, as he
claimed, he feared mob violence. Siren
uous times? Well, perhaps. The At
lantR directors wired Mr.. Proudft,
president of the league, who was then
in New York, to appoint an umpire
to act in McQuade's place, and he
designated George Whitlock, of Mari

MORRIS GETS
BIG CHANCE TONIGHT
If He Defeats Ke~nnedy--and Many Believe
He Will==His Stock Will Go Upward
With a Great Jump.

One 4 the greatest heavyweight con-
tests between white men since the
Sharkey-Jeffries fight at Coney Island,
is on for tonight. 1t is the ten-round
affair between Tom Kennedy, the for
mer AMATEUR champion. and Carl Nor
ris, the Oklahoma giant. The men
will meet at the Empire A. c.. 155th
street and Eighth avenue. This bat-
tie has been the talk of the town since
Kennedy defeated Al. Palzer, and Nor
ris has shown that he has improved
by several knockouts over other white
hopes" Morris rules favorlte In the
betting. B. F. Ufer, the Oklahoma mil
lionaire and hacker of Morris, has ar
rived in New York with a wad of
money to wager on his man.
Kennedy and Morris both met with
defeat when they started out, but in
stead Of quitting the game worked all
the harder to come back, and they
did. Morris, after losing to jim Flynn,
who had knocked out Al Kaufman,
went right along meeting all corners
and scored three knockouts In as many
fights. The same a be said of Ken
nedy. In the first fght he lost to
Palzer. He Immediately liked to a

eta, Ga. But Isaac Haas. the business
manager of the ~Savannahs, and Pete
Hotaling, the manager, absolutely re-
fused to play with Whitlock as UNI
pire. After another long-drawn-out
squabble, which whitfield the situation
to the jumping off station, both teams
agreed on Gunson, an Atlanta catcher,
and the game bagan.
Calls Game to stave on Riot.
THE batteries were Cannon Ball
Shaffer and Mappes for Atlanta, and
O'Day and Gillen for Savannah. Only
five innings were played, during which
there were casualties and action
enough for a miniature war. Shaffer
was in grand form and let Savannah
down without a hit, and, although
Hank O'Day worked like a truck horse
to win, there vas nothing doing. AT
the enc OF the fifth inning the Atlanta
contingent had garnered five hits and
two runs. AT this juneture Gunson
vas besieged from all quarters to call
the game, ana did so to stave off a
riot.
"O'Day had ~strenuously objected to
both Whitlock and Gunson, and when
he went to the water barrel after the
game Gunson rapidly approached him
and said, Well, you big crab, maybe
you'll pipe that / robbed your Sure
was O'Day's comeback; by the beard
of all the prophets. that's just what
you did Well, say, hal called for
the curtains then and there. The Sa-
vannah team refused to play any more
games in Atlanta, and the strange
disappearance Of McQuade brought
forth elimination and recrimination
that would make a longshoreman's
ball resemble a picnic by the Young
Peoples League.
"At the Union station that night
O'Day, Arundel, Hotaling, Miller and
Moriarity, Of the Savannah team, were
arrested and locked up for starting
something. Thus ended the season of
1886. with action enough to please all
the rough-necks in Christendom.

In two rounds. Again he went baek
to his quarters and trained for a sec
ond fight with Palzer. which he won,
jand then he asked to be matched with
the toughest of them all, and Morris
was selected.
Many predict that the bout will not
go the limit. Kennedy's friends believe
that he will bewilder Morris with his
science and eventually stop him, be-
cause he is a surer puncher than Jim
Flynn. On the other hand, the ad-
mirers of Morris are sure that his
bulk, strength and a-ggressiveness will
force Kennedy to take the count.
Joe Jeanette returned from Buffalo
last night and will second Kennedy.
This means a great advantage for Ken
needy, for Jeanette spent six weeks
with Morris In Oklahoma and a month
with him in New York. When Kennedy
turned pro" and joined Dan McKet-
rick's stable the challenger Of johnson
was put to work to develop Big Tom,
and he a worked wonders with the
former amateur champion. Jeanette
knows Morris's style. and as he will
be Kennedy's chief adviser Il should
be a big help.

He says nobody will ever catch him

established by Mike Driscoll in 1908, of
9 minutes 2S 20 seconds.
Louis Scott. the South Paterson A.

What would have been the result OF
the last worlds series had Buck
O'Brien been a member of the New
York Giants team and ready to help
out the great Christy Mathewson and
his teammate, RUDE Marquard, when
the occasion demanded7
This may seem like a roeless query
iust now, particularly since the Mack
mems claim to the proud title of
worlds champions was long since es-
tablished. the prize money distributed
and the Athletics banquet now a thing
of the past, but, in view Of OBrien's
wonderful performances Of last fall
against the Athletics, and tho further
feet that Mccraw at one time had this
splendid pitcher practically within his
grasp, it may serve to set tho fans
thinking a bit during this off season.
Trims Athletics.
Most fans may remember the
splendid pitching feat achieved by
O'Brien last fall, when after a long and
tiresome trip East from Denver he was
pitted against the Athletics on their
own grounds and at a moments notice
literally to stand the Mackmen on their
heads and draw from Mack the state
ment that he was one of the most
promising pitchers he had ever seen
break into the major league ranks.
McGraw probably read about thar
game, for he vas watching the fortunes
of the Maokmen pretty closely about
that time, and in all likelihood figuring
on a way to stop Connie Mack's men
from hitting. And when he saw how
O'Brien turned them back no doubt he
bitterly regretted the fact that he
pinned his faith upon the word of a
scout and permitted the young Brock
ton phenomenon to find his way into
the American League fold.
Had Him Covered.
Two years ago McGraw, then in
search of good pitchers, had men
securing every part Of the country for
some one to help out the tired Mathew
son. In various leagues-south, East
and West-keen-eyed watchers wero
keeping q sharp lookout for promising
material, while almost at his very
