JAKE ABEES ENTRY
INTO GAME ACCIDENT

II AXE ABEL, the nifty little
lightweight who scraps Knock
- out Brown at the Atlanta Au-
ditorium- Armory Friday night has
had a varied and remarkable ca
reer since he entered the ring,
slightly less than three years ago.
Not yet the proud possessor of a
title, the little Chattanooga has
met some of the best of them over
the short distance. and the few who
have secured decisions over him
have been rated at some time or
other as dangerous contenders for
the lightweight crown.
Abers entry into the profession
was purely accidental. In his home
town of Chattanooga there lived
another boy about his same age
Jack Dougherty by name. Both
liked to use the gloves, and a keen
5 rivalry developed between them. 1t
finally grew to the point where they
had to decide which was the best
and they decided to sign for a pre-
liminary at one Of the local matches
and fight 1t out.
Abel was given the first decision.
his work being so much faster than
the other boys that the promoters
decided they had made a find.
After several more preliminary
matches, Abel was matched against
Dougherty again. the latter pro
testing that he was not in condition
for the first fight.
Referees Decision Bad.
For some reason. best known To-
referee, Dougherty was given the
decision at the second meeting. al
though the fans present protested
bitterly.
That taste Of defeat at the hands
or Dougherty was the one thing
necessary to bring out the best In
Jake. He Immediately went into
the hardest kind OF training. He
acted as sparring partner for the
best men that came along. and
gathered new points from every
man with whom he mixed.
When Abel and Dougherty came
together for the third time Dough
erty never had chance. Abel
played with him at. win, and al
though he failed to land the X. o.,
he demonstrated to the satisfaction
of everybody that he was Dougher-
tvs master
From that time on. he fought
nearly every time a match was
staged in his home town, and finally
was given the main bouts. He has
gone against men like Danny Good
man. Joe Mandot. Frank whitney
and others. and has always given
his best from the first tap of the

afterward. l don't think Sam has
either.
Sam demanded that he be traded
to Chicago or some other club. Ma
vim could not trade him, because he
wanted 100 much money. so Sar
put his figures so high that Navin
will be forced to trade him. This
talk is not sour grapes on my part
for | never hesitated to speak nv
mind regarding Jennings.
That was the reason | was or
the bench so much last season.
Jennings story that | could not
stand the strain more than two
weeks at a time was rot. He did
not play me because | did not have
to stand for the sort of names he
called me, and would not.
Baseball players nowadays are
men of self-respect, mary Of them
college men of high refa ament and
education, and they will no. submit
to the sort of rough-necl treatment
that was in vogue when Jennings
broke into the game.
That is the whole secret of the
Tigers rank failure last year. and
that will be the cause of a worse
showing next season. They will be
extremely lucky to finish higher
than seventh, because the players
with the exception of Cobb all hate
Jennings, and won't do their best
for him. New York will beat them
out, sure"

a commission. The The idea i a'1 was
launched by George w.
Adair, himself a boxing enthusiast
and it has met with such over
whelming approval that 1t is more
than likely to become an estab-
lished institution.
Mr.. AdaIrs idea is to have the
mayor appoint a boxing commits
sion Of three, which shall have alb
solute control over all boxing
matches held in Atlanta. 1t will
issue permits to the clubs. will
blacklist all boxers who frame or
fake, and will adopt a code of rules
that will guarantee Atlanta boxing
of the highest class
When boxing was last revived in
Atlanta a boxing committee was
appointed by the police commission
and 1t was hoped that they would
take over the work of keeping the
sport on the high plane that il Is
run in New York. Philadelphia and
other large cities. This committee,
however, proved unwilling to take
over the responsibilities of the task
and have taken no recent interest
in the sport.

Big Bout Awakes City.
The idea OF a boxing commission
was the direct outcome OF the.
amazing interest stirred up in At

cities over the Brown Abel bout,
set for Friday night at the Atlanta

substantial men of the city who
are boxing enthusiasts saw the pos

Ii has already been proved be
yond question that the Brown

an affair of this sort. The fact
that the engagement is to be staged
in such a building as the Atlanta

IT HE Southern league sent %
players TO the big leagues last
fall. In this number there we're
some cover ups" For instance,
Washington protected" Agler for
Atlanta, Cleveland covered up
Hendryx for New Orleans.
Then a number of players were
taken over by major league clubs
for one reason or another and then
passed on to other minor leagues,
some after a trial, others without
any.
For one, Roy Moran was given a
brief trial by Washington and sent
on 10 Sacramento
Cleveland took Nagelson off
Charley Franks hands and turned
him over to New Haven
Wants was secured by Chicago
from Birmingham and turned over
TO New orleans.
Long was returned by Mobile to
Washington and handed back by
the Senators to Atlanta.
Williams, the Montgomery out
fielder was turned back again, even
If he WAS a tremendous hitter.
James, the outfielder turned over
by Nashville to Brooklyn, will be
back with Nashville this year.
Weaver. who was farmed out at
New orleans last year, has been
turned over by the Boston Nation
ais to Atlanta.
Attchison, really promising
pitcher, who led the Southern
league hmlers despite the fact that
he was hooked up with a sixth
place club, has been turned over by
Brooklyn to Newark subject to
immediate recall, no doubt, II he
begins showing signs of big league
greatness.
Summers. turned over by Nash
vile to Brooklyn and by Dahlen's
team to the Cubs, viii doubtless go
to some minor league.
Gardella, the Mobile third base
man, was turned back on the
Giants and by that club sent to
New Haven.
So II win be observed that the
big league fate of many of the men
who went up last fall is already
sealed But what of the rest-the
men who are good enough for
trial?
