MONTGOMERY. ALA, Aug. "a
Manager Dobbs has announced that
Elmer Brown, recently purchased from

from fourth position.
Manager Dobbs stated last night that
there was no truth in the rumor from

gomery team this season and would be
retained for next year

= ALLS will go out soon for the
Tech football players Coach
j. w. Heisman has been
making his annual trip to Ohio, but
will soon be ready to take up his
duties. And 1t is likely that, be-
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 at Tech. somehow. Light, fast
men and quick thinkers there are
always plenty Of. But Heisman
has never had enough huskies,
even under the rules that put a
premium on speed and made but
few big men necessary on a team.
Cupid has a way Of playing havoc
with the University of Virginia
football prospects. Last year, at a
critical moment, Hedley McNeer
Brown married and quit the game.
This year John Forest Goodhue. of
Beaumont, Texas, has married and
has left on an extended trip abroad,
In addition to Goodhue, Virginia
will lose Finlay, a Chattanooga boy
who started his career at Sewanee.
Except for GOOdhue and Finlay, the
entire Virginia team of last year
will be returned. This sounds bad
for Vanderbilt.
The Virginia team will probably
do a couple of weeks of light early
training at Sweet Chalybeate
Springs before taking up real ac-
tive training.
Money is being raised to take
the Tulane football candidates to
Bay St. Louis for ten days OF
limbering up before the real season
begins. The candidates will leave
September IS. Head Coach Mason
will take charge of the squad as
soon as it returns from this 1aunt
The University of Alabama team
is counting on the return of only
five of last years regulars. They
are Adrian, Hargrove, Van de
CRAFT, Hicks and Mcdowell, Ala
bama has a pretty stiff schedule
and the task of meeting Tech, Mis-
sissippi A. e NJ. Georgia, Tulane,
Mississippi. Sewanee and Tennes-
see in a row would test any team
to the limits. The game with Tech
will be played in Atlanta Octo-
Der u.
The University of Texas football
schedule has just been announced.
This fall the Texans will neither
make any long trips themselves nor
bring any teams from great dis
tances, with the exception of the
University of Mississippi
1t will be noted that the Auburn
team has cut out its usual Texas
trips. Last year the Auburnites
put on more mileage than Presi-
dent Taft This year they will
stick around home, They play two
games on their own campus, two in
Birmingham one in Atlanta one in

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 l re-
received a letter from a fan in Rock
Hill asking me to decide wager
on the above. While there is no
real way Of telling which organi-
cation Is the stronger, 1t IS my opin-
ion that the Johnson circuit is far
and above superior to the Lynch
league.
True, there arc as many 300 bat
ters in the National league as there
are in the American. But the
American league has by far the bet
ter pitchers. And ii Is the hurting
material that makes the younger
organization the stronger, in my
opinion
The National league stood pat
too long. When the American
league began to prosper the Ma
tional sewed up every player Of
value. But when these players be-
gan to enter the veteran class the
managers did not look far enough
ahead; they did not go out and un-
earth promising material McGraw
alone proved the exception.
A ND all this time that the Ma
"A tional league teams were
standing pat the American league
was developing players. This is
especially so in the hurting depart
ment of the game. Surely no one
can class the National league pitch
ers, as a whole, with the Ameri-
can league boxmen.
Where can the National league
dig up a bunch that compares with
Wood, Johnson, Plank Coombs,
Collins Dubuc, Hall. Bedient, Ford,
Bender, Gregg, Walsh, O'Brien and
Mullin?
Marquard Richie Mathewson.

the best the National league pos
sesses. Some of them are coming,
but the old Observation-Disclosures,
Camnitz and Reulbach-naven't got
very many more seasons left in
them. Rucker has never been able
to show advantage because Of being
glued to the Brooklyn roster.
1T is my opinion that the Amer-
can league viii again win the

BOXING DIX. THERE
UNDER PROPER
MANAGEMENT :.
By Fuzzy Woodruff.

NOLD, dark, dank, dismal dayR
Of winter face Atlanta SPORT
lovers, even as the sunmeP
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 a well
coined close, the present outlook Tn
That Atlanta's only opportunity to
indulge in things Of red blooded
nature Will be to read the sporting
sections, expectorate in the general
direction of the fireplace and enjoy
CORY combat over the checker
board.
1t Is true that for two brief
months the bearmored heroes If
the gridiron will entertain once
week at Ponce DeLeon. and thera
are those who will pursue the elu-
SlVe golf ball all season though the
thermometer do its doggondest to
block their efforts, but hoi polloi
was never strong for bearmored
heroes, and a golf ball positively
sickens it.
Game Bad Last Season.
Last winter boxing was revived
IN Atlanta, but the dose of digi-
tails that put new life in the game
wasn't strong enough to last
through. For a few weeks the fistic
sport prospered in Atlanta even s
the green bay tree is supposed 70
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 II might
add some shekels to the pockets NJ
a promoter.
Game May Be Revived.
II may pe tnat the game will
again be given a shot of nitro
glycerin and emerge from the stat.
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 he
developed to 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.

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

- NIO IL W IlIbllIS'
TTARRY H. HILTON, present
golf champion of America,
but 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

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 1908,
is in this country and that he will
enter. 1t will be recalled also that
Norman f. Hunter was a 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 golhng begins at Wheaton.
The Englishmen will find several
American golfers in fine form to re-
ceive 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

Gently holed the first hole of the
Mahopac course, $50 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 it a good omen
Another Metropolitan golfer who
is going very strong is Oswald
Kirkby. He won the New Jersey
title, defeating 'Travers, and with
luck should get close to the national
finals.

JAPANESE CITIES AS MODELS
Lecturer Declares They Are Ahead Of
Other Nations In Municipal
Government.

That western ideas Of civilization
have permeated Japan to such an ex-
tent that it is rapidly forging ahead
Of some Of the recognized leading ma
tons Of the world was the decIara-
ton made by Harvey N. Shepard of
Boston, former attorney general of
Massachusetts, in an address on Jap
anese Municipal Governments" to the
members Of the Philadelphia City
club. Mr.. Shepard also declared that
the Japanese people were far ahead
Of Americans in solving municipal af-
fairs.
I'm no other countries on the face
of the EARTH" he said, ARE the mu-
nicipal governments closer to the will
of the people than they are in the
Flowery Kingdom, and graft and ex-
traVaganees such as often charged
against the officials of cities and
towns in III wi country are prac-
tically unknown. While the munich
pal1ties of Japan are OF a more recent
development than our own they are
founded on a firmer basis to further

their administration corresponds
greatly to that of the municipalities of
those two European countries. All
over Japan there is a marked progress
in municipal affairs. Public works are
being forwarded and they are con.
structing good roads and developing
their harbors."
Mr.. Shepard spent many years in
Japan and studied closely the phases
of life in that empire. CAS- skilled

rapidly becoming proficient and are
equal to the skilled workmen of our
own country. There is no child labor
in the factories, and because of this
wages have increased %perceptibly.

other in some parts of the japanese
