HART and Fitzsimmons, the two
umpires who have followed
Billy Carpenter into. the discard,
were among the best in the league
Old Bill Hart was no wonder. but
everybody was so entirely con
WINGED of his honesty Of purpose
that he got past with a lot of stuff
that would have ruined other UNI
pires. Bill was on the square. He
was doing his best all the time.
The players all liked him. He knew
the game. His eyesight might not
have been the best, but it was
good enough.
Dan Fitzsimmons has ranked next
to Carpenter as the best umpire of
EN- all. He has always been fair,
impartial and efficient.
And what does it leave us-Dan
Pfenninger well meaning but in
competent and cursed with a back
bone the consistency of mush. Rud-

Have Course Immense
For Big Tournament

The Atlanta Athletic club is using
thirteen men, half dozen mule teams,
two mule drawn lawn mowers, one
gasoline mower and a key of money In
getting its course ready for the invi-
tation tournament that will be started
Thursday morning.
Not since the last Southern champion
ship was played in Atlanta have such
preparations been made for an event.
The tees have been re turfed and rest
ed" the greens have been carefully
sanded and cut the fair green has been
manicured to the last gasp and all is
ready for the tournament
Probably something like so Atlanta
players will take part in the tourna-
ment In addition there should be fully
as many from other clubs. If there
are 1t will be the largest and most
successful invitation event of Southern
year-around course history.

two will change ownership, but will

usual this year and may need some
rescuing before the season goes
much further.
There is always an extra likeh-
hood of a change in circuit on an

FRISCO CLUB
AF TER RIVERS
AND WOLGA5T
By Tad

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, July is
Lightweight Champion Ad Wolgast and
Joe Rivers, Of Los Angeles, nav
straighten out the tangle caused by
the outcome Of their bout on July 4 BY
coming together in a return match In
this city on Admission day, september
9. The dispute connected with the end
ing of the Los Angeles bout is bound to
force the rival hghtweights into an
other meeting. and Jimmy Coffroth
seeks to be the lucky promoter to grab
the plum.
Coffroth has already made q move IN
making a f1attering offer to Wolzast
and is confident that If he lands the
champion Rivers will be only too glad
Of the opportunity to take another shot
at the championship Cofroth quite
naturally would not divulge the terms
he offered, but 1t is known to run well
up in the thousands.
AtteII to Get Winner.
James was in Los Angeles when Rtv-
ers and Wolgast fought on the after
noon of July and he lost no time in
getting to Manager Jones for Wolgasts
services. Coffroth realized that tbs
ending left lots of doubt in the minds
of the fans and that battles of just such
unsatisfactory finishes draw big gates
Then too, the local promoter says the
boys are well matched and that every
spectator would get a run for his
money It is Jim's plan to send the
winner against Abe Attell, who now
is a fullhedged lightweight. Abe has
been in the care Of Billy Nolan for
months now and the former feather
weight has packed on so much solid
weight that he will never again fight in
the class Of which he was champion so
long.
Kaufman May Box Flynn.
True. the supervisors of old Colma
refused Attell and Murphy the right 70
fight. but Attell is not barred from bat
thing herea bouts And the fans here
would welcome a meeting between TIE
lightweight champion and Attell They
are wondering whether the Hebrew is
still as clever as a lightweight as he
was as a featherwelght.
With these fights in mind Coffroth is
also laying plans for match in which
Jim Flynn will figure. If he can secure
a suitable heavyweight he would stage
the go. Al Kaufman is likely to be
selected by Coffroth as Flynns oppo-
nent. for there are a number here who
still believe Al has q good hght Left
in him.
