AS for Abel, he never had a chance.
When Jake would start a left, Char
ley would beat him to it. When Abel
rushed White would meet him with
sharp shooting uppercuts. In fact,
Abel appeared to be but a baby in
Whites hands. After the fight Abel
seemed dumbfounded. He stated that
the blow White hit him was the
hardest he ever received.
Eddie Hanlon and Charley Lee
were the surprises in the other bouts.
Hanlon defeated Terry Nelson in an
eight round set-to. but was fully
eight pounds heavier than his Greek
opponent. However, Hanlon put up
great bout and deserved much
credit for his victory. He flOored Mel
son for the count of nine in the eighth
round and nearly had the Greek out
at the finish.
Lee sprung the surprise of the
night by winning from Kid Young in
six rounds on a foul. The battle was
a hummer, full of excitement during
the entire distance. Young hit Lee
low twice in the sixth and was dis
qualified after an examination by a
physician
In the other match Tim Callahan
won a four-round decision over Young

THOMPSON AND
DUNN ATLANTA
BATTERY TO-DAY
By Joe Agler.

NEW ORLEANS, July "a
N Thompson and Dunn will be
the Cracker battery to-day, and
the club is brim full of pep and con-
fidence as a result Of the easy vic
tory Of yesterday over the Pelicans
Dent really worked shout ball all
the way. The only run New Orleans
made was a gift to the visitors by
way of a fielder's choice
Billy Smiths clubs put up a great
batting attack, with Welchonce and
Alperman leading. Joe Dunn also
contributed a most timely double that
cleared up the tow path when II was
in a highly Congested condition.
Walker, supposed to be the speed
king Of this circuit, was soft for the
Crackers and the only question was
to what length their attack would
run the score.
The shake-up in the batting order
proved a wise move, certainly for
that game, at any rate. Wally Smith
seems to be in a bit of a slump just
now, but he is sure to hit his stride
again, as he is one OF those natural
hitters who can't stay off the ball
long at a time
King" Brady has left the team
and Clarke has reported The new
hand is a big, raw bOned fork handler
and while he was warming up yes
terday he showed a barrel Of stuff.
He pitches like Otto Hess and should
held out a lot in the climb the Crack
ers now seem to have started for the
top.

CHAPPELLE HAS
No PARTICULAR
STAR FEATURE
By 0. B. Keller

Mt OW that it seems pretty def
~ nitely settled that Mr.. Law
renee Chappelle, Milwaukee
outfielder, cost the Chicago White Sox
$4,000, or words to- that effect, there
may be some small curiosity as to the
workings of bit of baseball machin-
cry that can get such an expensive
rating in the big show.
That is to say, what sort of a new
prize beauty is this Chappelle per-
son.
Well, Chappy-as he was commonly
known in the American Association
sports rather an odd distinctive fea-
ture. This is the fact that he hasn't
any. He can hit; he can field and
throw; he is no dub on the bases.
But there is no one handle sticking
out Of Chappy's A. A. record that you
can lay hold on and say, Here is
wonder"
Chappy's best point probably is his
hitting. That unquestionabl was
what attracted attention in the Cal
lahan camp. Chappy did hit becom-
ingly-in the A. A, which also de-
veloped Mr.. Gavvy Cravath, of the
Phillies. He is a big fellow-strong
in the arms and shoulders, and able
to take a free swing on a fast ball OF
savage chop at a curve He crowds
the plate and worries the pitcher.
In the field he is a good, steady per-
former. He is a good judge of a iy
ball and covers a fair territory. He
can throw we'll but hasn't the arm of
Clarence Walker, of Kansas City. He
Is no speed demon, like Shelton, of
Columbus, either in the field or on
the towpath.
If Chappy turns out to be a paving
investment for Comiskey, it will be
because he is that really valua bla
thing in baseball-an all-round play

White Stops Abel in Two Rounds
*'+ *'* +'* +'* +'+ +'s
Kid Young Loses to Lee on Foul

@ EVERAL days ago Jack Britton
y stated that Charley White was
the hardest hitting lightweight
before the public to-day Last night
White met Jake Abel at the Audito-
rum ArmOry and put him out in the
second round of a scheduled ten
round battle. The punches that put
Abel away were aleft-hand hook
that travelled about two inches, fol-
lowed by a right cross.
The punches landed by White
were the hardest ever struck by a
lightweight in this city. And when 1t
is taken into consideration that
White weighed only 1877 pounds when
he stepped into the ring, one can not
give White too much praise for his
wonderful boxing and punching pow
er.
Never once did the Chicago boy
make a misstep. Not a blow did he
start that failed to land. He Ger
tainly is the best lightweight seen
around here and he is a real con-
tender for the lightweight crown.
Charley is only q years of age and
has stopped such boys as owen Mo-
ran, Johnny Dundee, Joe Thomas
twice and Pal Moore twice. All these
boys were going goodwhen White
met them, but they were no match
for the boy from the Windy City.

GOLF JOURNEYS

BY Chick Evans.

THICAGO. July 10. - The an
nouncement of the age limit
tournament at Shokie suggests
another thought There is an in
creasing number Of age-limit tour
neys in the golf world about Chicago
and decreasing number of open
events for young golfers
The age-limit events are excellent
things, but the lack Of junior events
is hard upon the young golfers, who

other players. In my own case,

passed that he would lose courage
and drop out of the game. for the
promising young player must be pro-
vided with an occasional victory to
keep his heart up.
Youngsters Want Competition.
The business man enjoys golf as an
exercise, but the youugster has hun
dreds of ways Of getting exercise. and
there is chance that he may desert
golf unless he has a better way Of
showing his skill. 1t is true that he

Just now, there seem TO be very
few Young golfers of exceptional
promise, and this dearth may, in part,
be attributed to lack Of competitive
opportunities The championship next
week may disclose some new lights.

familiar names will be seen at the

THIRD SACKERS
LIKER. WALLACE
MIGHTY SCARCE
~ T. LOUIS, MO, July 19.-When
the count of 10 is tolled on Rhod-
- erick Wallace as a major league

- T. LOUIS, MO, July 19.-When
the count of 10 is tolled on Rhod-
erick Wallace as a major league
player, then baseball will lose one of
its greatest stars But from present
indications, Bob Wallace is going to
establish a record for perpetual serv-
ice in the big arena.
When this season opened the Scot
started out on his eighteenth consecu-
tive year. AS has been the custom
for the past few years, tie high boss
of the Browns has been trying to
find a youthful successor for Wal
lace. A kid of more speed, a better
swatter, a better fielder and a better
player all around has been sought.
But this spring has been the same
as the others. The recruits have ar
rived and the recruits have gone, and
Bob Wallace remains a member of
the Browns, playing the same snappy
and sensational infield that he did
when he was in his prime.
Some Star at Third.
In the last three games at Sports
mans Park fans have seen Wallace
operate at third base That's the
spot where the veteran really became
a star when he was with the old
CANNtlelil PbAAt1S anu W AlClA llb NdAAAV
to st. Louis. when the franchises of
Cleveland and st. Louis were trans
ferred in 1899,
Suffering with a pair of bad legs
and a sore right hip Wallace has
played as spectacularly as any third
baseman who has been in the big
circle.
The play de luxe executed by Wal
lace was in a recent conflict with the
Yanks. 1t happened in the fifth in
ming Fisher was on second with
one out when Wolter bounded TO
Lavan. The shortstop made a high
peg to Wallace, trying for Fisher.
No third baSeman in the game
would have completed the out. Wal
lace. stretching out. grabbed the high
throw with his glove, and. with a
quick swing, tagged Fisher as he slid
into the bag.
Wallace didn't leap for the wild
peg. Had he jumped he never could
have made the swing to tag Fisher
as he slid into the bag. 1t was a
play that NOBODY but Wallace could
have completed
They Can't Get His Job.
Wallace started to slow up a few
seasons ago President Hedges, real
izing this, instructed scouts to buy
all the promising infielders. They did,
Within the last few seasons. Roy
Hartzell, Eddie Mailman, Mike Ba-
leRti, Harry Stanley, Eddie Daley,
Derrlll Pratt. Dee Walsh, and now
Johnny Lavan have been on the Job.
There's a collection of eight try
ing to push Wallace back to the
minors. Hallihan, Daley, Stanley
Walsh, Balenti, Pratt and Hartzeil
failed. The first four are in the
minors, while judgment upon Lavan
will be delayed a bit until the rah-
rah recruit gets more time to show
that he can hit.
Bob Wallace isn't the same spry
kid he was a dozen years ago. still
fans at Sportman's Park, or even
Robson Field have yet to see the
athlete who compared with the Scot
when he was in his prime.
Wallace isn't ready to quit or go
to the minors now. He isn't a regular
with the Browns, but several major
league owners have put in bids to
Hedges for the marvel of marvels.

By A. H. G.. Mitchell.

n OSTON. July 19.-The question
* OF the moment seems to be,
How will BIZ Carrigan succeed
as manager" II is, of course, easier
to ask the question than to answer
1t. In fact, 1t is impossible to an
swer il, because Bill has not had
chance to demonstrate his ability In
managerial capacity. However, IT
may be said that there is no good
reason why he should not make a
success OF II. Ball players generally
agree that Bill has baseball brains.

he has to be a quick thinker or sit on

1T is the opinion of the writer that

ton II 1t were offered to him. lie is
perfectly content TO be captain Of

season when the team won the pen

this combination will resume bust

been appointed manager. The meet

to go behind the bat by Stahl. but

II is asserted that Stahl was jealous
Of the publicity accorded the Board

it might concern that he was the real,
sole and only manager of the team.
or course this report the writer has
no first-hand information, but Stahrs
actions in the series would seem to
bear out the assertion.
