AGE NO PROTECTION.

Age seems no protection at the
present day. King Menes of Egypt
was robbed of a golden amulet the
other day in Chicago. X. NJ. is $500
years old, and probably was unable to
protect himself against the rapacity
of the amulet thief. When a man Is
hungry for amulets it is like being
hungry for bread and he will rob the
most aged and helpless person he can
find of his treasure. Menes was spend
ing the night with friends in the
museum of the University of Chicago,
when the dastardly crime, from
which his years and general infirm-
ity should have protected him, was
committed. Fortunately, Chicago will
not stand for such outrages against
distinguished and ancient visitors and
Justice overlook the man as soon as
his finger prints were discovered. He
will learn to keep his finger off of
amulets after this. Menes was one of
the most distinguished members of
the famous Pharaoh family, famous in
the social and political circles of
Moses time.-Kinsley Graphic.

LOOKOUT RECRUITS
 REPORT TO MANAGER

Catcher Glddo and Pitcher Grover, two of the Lookout recruits from the Blue Grass league, reported to Manager Smith and practiced with the Chattanooga club yesterday afternoon Giddo is a young catcher from the Maysdeld club in that league, while Pitcher Grover was ths star twirler of the same aggregation.
 Giddo is small and undersized but is said to be a very good catcher. He is of Polish descent and it Is probable that Covaleski and Gddo will compose the cnly Pole battery in the Southern league. Grover on the other hand. is tall and lean He disturbs the atmosphere at the heghth of slx4 feet three inches.
 The receiver may catch this afternoon. To make room for the battery Billy smith will let Hyder Barr return home. Ryder is suffering from a sprained an- lzle and this injury has followed several others this season.

New York, August 22.-Sporting men who have discussed the match arranged by Manager Gibson between Paekey Garden on September 27, were inclined to the belief that wolgast's desire for big money has induced him to handi- cap himself in the weight conditions.
 According to the articles of agree ment the men will box under a i35 pound weight limit at 3 o'clock. This will enable Mcfarland to enter the ring weighing at least 1S7 pounds. if not 1ss. while the lightweight champion, never carrying more than 1SS, will be several pounds lighter unless he de- cides to build up.
 Last September Wolgast and Me- Farland were matched to box in Mil- waulSee at 13s pounds. weighing at 6 o'clock, or three hours before ring time More than sS0,0o0 was realized from the advance sales when the au- thorities stopped further proceedings.
 It was hlnted then that Wolgast, having learned that McFarland was down to weight week before the date set for the battle, had been seized with cold feet, and felt decidedly relieved when the bout was declared of As a matter of fact, Mcfarland was more worried over the weight than Vol gast.
 Packey eonfided to friends that he would he weak at 1s3 and then pub licly announced that he would never agree to box Wolgast again. except al 1S5 at o'clock. which always has been McFarland's best weight
 In order to get Wolgast into the ring at McFarland's weight conditions therefore. Packey instructed Manager
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-08-24
WOLGAST GAVE MFARLAND
 SOME ADVANTAGE IN WEIGHT

Gibson to grant the champions demand for the exorbitant guarantee of s22,500. When Gibson consented Wolgast agreed to McFarland's conditions, at the same time ignoring telegraphio warnings from his manager, Tom Jones.
 Mcfarland will box for percentage of the receipts, which the Garden peo- ple believe will reach the $40,00O mark. Moving pictures of the contest will be taken, but WolRast will have no finan cial interest in them. Mcfarland will have piece of this rakeoh, however, and believes that his entire end of the match will amoont to S10,0OO or there- abouts. $lN
 Another important point in McFar- lands favor is the clean break rule instltuted by the boxing commission. Wolgast will not be allowed to hit in the clinehes or on the breakaway, for he must stop clinehing with one hand and biting with the other as soon as the referee orders him to do so.
 This interpretation of the rules, if riSidly enforced, will compel Wolgast to fight cleanly McFarland under those conditions. has frequently demon strated that he Is R peerless boxer. and for that reason he believes that while Wolgast will get the Hons share of the spells, he will prove the lightweight champions master In point of ring tactics and skill.
 Wolgast. however, isn't an easy mark l by any means. He Is harder hitter than Mcfarland and can take a world of punishment.
 If he forces the fight, Mcfarland will have the time of his life avoiding dan gerous body blows. for at that style of milling Wolgast is bearcat. On paper the match loS'-l like the best that Gibson ever has provided, and the result of 1t is bound to interest ring followers all over the world.

The Barons put up neat exhibition Of sinside" baseball yesterday Outguessing their opponents at every move, and taks ing the defense by surprise at critical stages aided the Barons wonderfully. Yantz was able to guess consistently what the Loozouts were attempting and as the result probably saved scores.
 Tutwiler was picked off second base while there were several close plays at first as the result of his watchfulness When the Chattanooga team expected Q sacrifice the Barons crossed them and hit when the Lookouts thought the hit and run waa to be effected sacrifice re- suited. Smith and Yantz, also had the :. batters at disadvantage. The Barons played real ball.
 Yesterday Jimmy Johnston stole his eeventieth base of the season and will probably break the base stealing record hung up by Joe Rickert in 1901, when the outfielder negotiated IT thefts. The speedy centerfeder will play in nearly 25 more games and he will have to steal but eight more sacks in order sto better the standing record.
 It is probable that he will report to the White Sox shortly after the Mobile games. should the Barons be successful enough to cinch the pennant within that time.
 Wee Willie Trough. who will ornate the mound this afternoon. has been pitching at marvellous and successful clip. Out of the last eleven games Trough has won rr;.- ;,.d af He and Smith have probably kept the Barons up in the race during the past month and much credit is due him.
 When Trough reported to Birmingham fe was not in fit condition. but 1t IS prob able that his record at the close or the season will be a very creditnJle one. Trough is good enough for the big show and his performance accreditable one. Trough is good enough for tho big show and his performance accredits another trial there. While the Barons have been slumping 2 with the willow, Fred Dilger has travelled in the opposite direction In the last L' cames the noisy receiver has slammed safely in each battle. His willow yielding mt inc beginning of the season was off. but now he has his eye on the Dill and IS slugging at AGO clip for the past month.
 Not only is the noisy baclxstop hitting hard, but in the pinches. He is instill- ing much life into the game and is help ing the pitchers to ease out of bad holes. He leads the Southern league catchers, too
 Py rcmping over the Lookouts yester- day the Barons gained another half game ovef the Guls in the race for the pen nant. The Barons are now topping the Gulls with an even lead of six games. Mo.ile plays two this afternoon with Nashville. and 1t is more than probable that the Volunteers will take one.
 Unless the right arm of Clarence Smith is encased in a plaster or has been sn.pis,ated the Barons will take two from Mobile at least. Manager Molesworth VIII t'y tc work Smith three times asainst the Mobile team in the coming series.
 It would be great deal better if the majors would not notify the player placed out under an option with minor league club before the end of the season. As the general rule the player is afraid to 'ake chances for fear that he will injure
