QUALIFY TODAY FOR
DAVIS & FREEMAN
CUP AT EAST LAKE

The golfers of the Atlanta Athletic
club will this afternoon qualify for play
for the Davis & Freeman golf trophy,
"A handsome silver cup that is given by
the well known local jewelers..
This is the fourth year that the cup
has been played for being a three-year
trophy. In other words, it must be
won three times before becoming the
property of any one.
+. G. Byrd won the trophy in 1909
and 1910, and w. r. Tichenor won it
in 1911. As Mr.. Byrd is not in the city,
and will not contest in the tournament
this year, no matter who wins the cup
it will be contested for again in 1918.
The players will qualify from
scratch, the club handicaps applying in
the match play rounds
The first and second rounds of match
play must be played by August so the
semi finals by August 81 and the finals

BOXING OK. HERE
UNDER PROPER
MANAGEMENT
BY Fuzzy Woodruff.


TOLD, dark, dank, dismal days
of winter face Atlanta sport
lovers, even as the summer
has been devilishly desolate, When
the last crack of bat has been heard
at Ponce DeLeon and the baseball
season of 1912 has come to well
coined close, the present outlook 10
that Atlanta's only opportunity to
indulge in things Of a red -blooded
nature will be to read the sporting
sections, eXpectorate in the general
direction of the fireplace and enioy
CORY combat over the checker
board
1t is true that for two BRIEF
months the bearmored heroes of
the gridiron will entertain once a
week at Ponce DeLeon, and there
are those who will pursue the elm
slVe golf ball all season though the
thermometer do it's doggondest to
BLOCK their efforts, but hoi polloi
was never strong for bearmored
heroes, and golf ball positively
sickens it.
Game Bad Last Season.
Last winter boxing was revived
IN Atlanta. but the dose Of diri-
tails that put new life in the game
wasn't strong enough to last
through. For few weeks the fstic
sport prospered in Atlanta even as
the green bay tree is supposed to
do.
Then the game went to the
blooming bowwows. An effort was
made to run two rival clubs. Both
died lingering, painful deaths. Then
there was the suggestion that on
more than one occasion the public
was beautifully and scientifically
bunked.
There is ample field for boxing
in Atlanta. The game properly con-
Quoted would do much to alleviate
the ennui of winter and it might
add some shekels to the pockets Of
promoter.
Game May Be Revived.
1t may be that the game will
again be given a shot of nitro
glycerin and emerge from the state
Of coma in which it now rests.
But if the game is to live this
winter, Atlanta patrons must he
shown that there are legitimate
business men behind the movement
who will look after the rights Of
their patrons as well as their own
privy purses.
With capable matchmaking and
set of hidebound rules which
must be abided by by both fighters
and promoters, the sport should be
developed to a high standard here
this fall and winter, If this isn't
done, any man who thinks there ia
money for him in the glove bust
ness in Atlanta had better lock his
funds in a safety deposit box and
throw away the key 1t will save
him money.

WALDORF IN BOX
AGAINST BILLS

MONTGOMERY. ALA, Aug. "a
Manager Dobbs has announced that
Elmer Brown, recently purchased from
the st. Louis Browns, will pitch for the
Billikens today and McAIlister will
catch. Waldorf and Graham will be the
Atlanta battery. Montgomery is anX-
ious to keep its place in the first divi-
sion of the league race, while the At
lanta club will try hard to dislodge it
from fourth position.
Manager Dobbs stated last night that
there was no truth in the rumor from
Atlanta that Harold Johns would be
returned to the Crackers, but that the
hurler would remain with the Mont
gomery team this season and would be
retained for next year
The Crackers lost Yesterdays game.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
NOT AS FAST as
AMERICAN
BY W. s. Farnsworth.

rs the American league faster
than the National league?
That question has been asked
a thousand times. Yesterday | re
received letter from fan in Rock
Hin asking me 10 decide a wager
on the above. While there is no
real way of telling which organi-
cation is the stronger, # IS my opin-
ION that the Johnson circuit is far
and above superior to the Lynch
league.
True. there are rs many 300 bat
tiers in the National league as there
are in the American. But the
American league has by far the bet
ter pitchers. And it is the hurting
material that makes the younger
organization the stronger, in my
opinion

J. W. Heisman has been
making his annual trip to Ohio, but
will soon be ready to take up his

cause of the scarcity of material
and the generally poor prospects
out at the Flats, he will make an
earlier and a more vigorous start
than usual.
The need for heavy men. which
arises under the changed rules of
1913, will put the Jackets in a ter
rible fix. They don't get heavy

men and quick thinkers there are
always plenty of. But Heisman
has never had enough huskies,

Golfer Hilton Won't Have cnch b. This Year
Tech Eleven VIII Suffer by Lack of Drawn
Golfer Hilton
BY Percy H. Whiting.

golf champion of America,
but a resident of England
and registering from the Royal Liv-
erpool Golf club, has reached
America and is ready to defend his
title over the course Of the Chicago
Golf club at Wheaton, H., in the
amateur championship, which will
be played the week beginning with
September labor day.
With Hilton is Norman f. Hun
ter, one of the top-notch golfers of
Great Britain, 1t is also reported,
though not known for certain. that
John l.. Low, who captained the
Oxford Cambridge team which
played in the United States in 1903,
is in this country and that he will
enter. II viii be recalled also that
Norman f. Hunter was member
of the same team.
These English golfers are playing
steadily and owing to their early
arrival should be thoroughly accli-
mated and in first class trim when
the goting begins at Wheaton.
The Englishmen will find several
American golfers in fine form to re-
ccivc them 1t has always happen
ed that when the championship was
played at Wheaton Western golfers
have been the whole show. But this
may not happen this year Jerome
TraVers is playing grand golf He
has been tuning up for weeks over
the course of the Mahopac Golf
club of Lake Mahopac, n. Y, and
is said to be playing his best, which
means championship golf He re-
Gently holed the first hole of the
Mahopac course. 100 yards. in one
stroke. 1t was the first time in his
life he ever accomplished the feat
of making any hole in one. and he
considered ii a good omen.
Another Metropolitan golfer who
il going very strong is oswald
Kirkby. He won the New Jersey
title, defeating Travers. and with
luck should get close to the national
finals
If Kirliby or Travers don't defeat
the Britishers it will be up to some
Of the Westerners, and of the whole
lot 10y far the strongest is Charley
Evans He is playing the best golf
of his career and if he can settle
down for week at Wheaton he
may send the Englishmep back
empty handed
Hilton in rather poor taste it APP
pears, in Il recent article in The
London Weekly Budget, poked fun
at Americans because the Ameri-
can title is held by an Englishman

and because the American born

smueeLERs IN A MOTOR CAR.
Had to Run the Car on the ha''roao
Track But Escaped.

a daring feat was accomplished DIV
. hapa of smucelers on the main road
running from Belgium into Lite
France. \ few days ago the Lille eX-
cisa officers got wind Of plan TO run
q large consignment of contrahahd To-
haeeo i'm a motor car. 1.-THE SNUG
olars, plan was to cross the frontier
near Roubaix and follow the main
road to Lille.
The captain of the Lille excise sta
ton had the loading of the ear Sc
cretly watched and arranged for WORD
to be sent to him the night the SNUG
glers departed. \ message came that
the dash would be made certain
night.
That night the captain took 80 eX-
cisemen and laid an ambush for the
smugglers and stout steel rope was
stretched across the main road. After
lying in wait long time the excise
men heard the hum of a car travelling
at great rate through the darkness.
Two officers stood about 100 Yards
| from where the cable was stretched
and cried out. Halt! We are Gus
toms officers" Instead of stopping
| the driver increased his speed and
| the car plunged forward until its
| headlight showed the cleaning steel
| cable in its path.
With a shout of triumph the excise
men had sprung from thir hldlhg
place, when, without diminishing his
speed. the driver of the oontraband
car gave sharp turn of the wheel to
| the left and deliberately put the vc-
hfcle on to the metals Of the light
railway running alongside the road.
| Although train was but 100 yards
behind him the chauffeur never
ninched and the ear. after a terrific
| jolting, regained the road. Once the
ambush was passed the car vanished
