Just how good Knockout Brown
is and how greatly he is feared By
other boxers is shown by his expe-
rience with Ad Wolgast. When
Ad was champion Brown was keen
for bout. Finally Brown oornersd
Wolgast and they went on in a
siX-round engagement in Philad@h~
phia. where decisions are not al
lowed. Brown showed up the
champion. Less than month later
they tried it over in New York. and
Wolgast got such beautiful lacinR
That he couldn't be bought or ca
Joled into meeting Brown again.
If he wasn't afraid, then he rust
figured he couldn't afford to take
the chance.
Knockout Brown meets a worthy
opponent in Jake Abel. This lad
has shown well, not only with Sec
ond-raters but with good lads like
Joe Mandot and Frank Whitnex
He has larger following in At
Ianta than any lightweight who
ever boxed here.
The bouts next Friday are solely
for the benefit of the Atlanta Gravs
and the Capital City Guards. Every
cent of profit will be used for the
fund which is to pay the expenses
of sending these two companies to
take part in the parade and the
other ceremonies in connection with

Atlantic league forbiddlng the
clubs to play more than four men
who had formerly played in

ion, been decided success. Hav-
ing written Sports in the Sally"
ever since the first season of it's

n position to judge on the sue
cess or failure of the movement.
Last season the fans of this cir
cult saw the best baseball they
ever saw. Every club in the
league was down to the limit and
there was not a club in the or
ganlzation that did not develop
from one to three youngsters who
were graduates from Glass G ball

fall, odd timers were few and
far between in the South Atlantic
last season and youngsters who
have been looking for an oppor-
tunity for two or three seasons
past were put in their places and
are delivering the goods, beyond
the question of a doubt. The
Jacksonville team, for instance,
was composed almost entirely of
youngsters and the four players

practically youngsters
Locally, baseball is in better
shape than 1t has been for many
years.
Asked for my honest opinion as
TO the success or failure of the sal
airy and player limit of the South
Atlantic league for the 1912 sea-
son, do not hesitate to say that
| figure it the grandest success in
the history of the league
Watch the youngsters go from
the Sally to higher leagues next
fall
OF course, you fans aren't par
~ ticularly interested in the ways
the Southern league adopts for cut
ting down expenses. And yet YOU
are, for you want baseball to con-
tinue, The fact that every wear
two or three clubs are calling for
help, as the Montgomery club was
this year, tells the story. Baseball
ought to be run so that every club
has reasonable chance of making
money-not every year, but a mod :
crate amount in the long run. AS
things stand now, they haven't this
chance
BY limiting the number of players
who have seen big league service,
three things will be accomplished
1. Expenses will be cut Former
big leaguers get the big salaries.
Do you want to know the two
men who got the highest salaries
from the Atlanta association last
year? They were Vedder Sitton
and Humpty McElVeen, Were they
getting them because they were
worth more? Look in the record
book for the answer to that one
They We're getting the coin because
they were ex big lcaguers.
.. 1t would force the Southern
league t9 develop more young ball
players. The young players fun
nish the most interesting ball, any
way. And they sometimes turn out
to he worth a lot of money to the
clubs, who can sell them to the big
leagues.
g. The rule can be enforced. There
is no earthly way Of enforcing a
salary limit. But anybody Who is
on the job can keep out a lot of
eN-big leaguerS, for they are known
to all wise baseball folks.

MONA LISA Theft
WASLONG PLANNED
PERUGiA, THE THIEF, WAS NOT
AcTUATED BY PATRIOTIC MO.
TVES, AS CLAIMED.

Paris, Dec. 15.-Detective Nicausse
has made an important discovery
among the effects of Vincenzo Perugia,
which seems to throw fresh light in
his theft of Mona Lisa" The dis
covery tends to show that in taking
the picture from the Louvre, Perugia
was not actuated by purely patriotic
and that the theft was long contem-
plated.
Among the mass of miscellaneous
papers were two notebooks dated De-
cember, 1910, the time when Perugia
was employed by firm of decorators,
which was engaged at the Louvre in
placing glasses on pictures. The
writing in the notebooks, the detec-
tive says is that of Perugia.
The first book contains list Of cell
ebrated multi-millionaires, including
the late j. Pierphont Morgan, John D.
Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. The
second contains list of art dealers
and collectors, not only in the Italian
cities of Rome, Florence and Naples,
but in Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfort and
other German cities. In this list ap-
pears the name of Signor Geri, the
antiquary of Florence.
The police investigations have re-
vealed the fact that Perugia was deep
ly in love with an exceedingly beauti-
full girl, the image of mona Lisa"
Ninety-three fervent love letters from
the girl, signed Mathilde, were found
| in Perugia's room. 1t appears that
some years ago Mathilde was brought
to a dance hall by another Italian,
who quarreled with and stabbed her
and then fed. Perugia witnessed the
attack upon the girl, and being struck
by her beauty, lifted her into a cab
and took her to the home of an old
Italian woman, who nursed her back
to health.
The acquaintance thus begun devel
oped into an ardent love affair The
police hope to obtain from the girl in
formation concerning Perugia which
would clear up the question as tc
whether he had accomplices in the
abstraction of the painting from the
Louvre. They have so far, however
been unable to find any trace of her

CAP A COLD FOR Csc
MORTALITY IN OCCUPATION.

DR.. Jacques Bertllion, the statistician
for the department of the Seine, has
just established tables relative to the
mortality in each occupation.
Mr.. Bertillion says that engine driv-
ers, men employed in wood-cutting and
in mailing, school teachers, law
yers and clergyment live the long
est. The mortality among doctors,
chemists, architects. lawyers clerks,
employees of the Postoffice, CONNER
cial travellers. grocers, fruiterers, hat
ters, and some other trades, such as
watch making and tanning, is low. Do
nestle servants and coachmen employ
ed in private families have a low
death rate.
Finally day laborers lead bad lives
so do doctors, miners, stonecutters
shop assistants, drivers, grooms ant
jockeys, newspaper vendors and pave
ment merchants, pripters, hlacksmiths
messengers, chimn@ lf&eps, barber
and musicians.
