FANS MAY BE
BUNKED AGAIN
Little Chance of White-AbeI Go,
Carded for Friday Night,
Being a Success.
By W. S. Farnsworth.

X HARLEY WHITE, who is sched-
uled to fight Jake Abel at the
Auditorium Armory Friday
night, was billed by the promoter to
arrive in Atlanta this morning.
He hasn't arrived.
Abel according to the promoter,
was to have arrived this morning.
He hasn't arrived.
According to the promoter there
will be three ten-round fights Fri
day night. Abel is to meet White
in tthe final bout. In the others,
Young may hook up with Charley
Lee, while Eddie Hanlon may meet
Terry Nelson
According to the promoter the show
viii be staged under the auspices of
the Fifth Regiment Band. Said band
needs new uniforms.
We hope they get them.
However, the promoter who is stag
ing the bouts for the band" Friday
nBht is the same promoter who has
bunked Atlanta fight fans time and
again.
He is the promoter who staged
the two fake fights that Carl Morris
participated in here. He is the pro-
AAbNNA WIZ SNOAt liz 1T up " lllN
minute the Young Saylor-Joe Thomas
fight was to start that Saylor was in
town, and then substituted a rank
thirdrater, Yankee Schwartz
He is the promoter who allowed the
Abe ell-Benny Kaufman fight to
go eight rounds His referee, at the
suggestion of the police, had the good
judgment to stop this fake at the end
of the eighth.
But this same promoter did not
give the fans back their money. And
he didn't pay AtteI the $3.50 guaran-
tee.
This same promoter declared to the
newspapers in Atlanta that Attell had
faxed, in his opinion.
Yet he wired to Bat MastersOn, of
The Morning Telegraph, in New York
as follows:
AtteI-Kauffmann bout here to-
night was stopped by police be-
cause Kaufman refused to fight
Attel back. 1t was a one-man
fight, Attell trying to fight and
Kaufman covering up. 1t was
plainly no fault of Attelrs.
It HIS promoter has guaranteed Nate
l Lewis, manager of White two
round-trip tickets and $500. White
will not enter the ring until he gets
the S400.
He has promised Kid Young $50,
arG Young will not get into the ring
until he has received the $50
He has promised Terry Nelson $780,
and Nelson will not get into the ring
until he has received the $50.
Also, unless Abe Attell is paid the
$3.50 this promoter owes him, the ex-
champion will, undoubtedly, attach
the gate receipts for the money owed
MIN for his fake fight. which said
promoter, under his signature de-
ckted was no fake.
And unless all this money is in the
house, there will be no fight, ana
those who will have purchased their
tickets in advance will gain nothing.
The fighting game is In a bad way
in Atlanta. 1t is likely to be killed
forever If the show scheduled for Fri
day night turns out to be a fiasco.

MANAGERIAL JOB
CAUSESEVERS To
JOIN WORRYCLUB
BY Davenport.

n HICAGO. July 14.-"What does
it mean to a ball player to as
sumo the responsibilities of the
nlanagership of ball club?"
This very pointed interrogation was
put up directly to Johnny Evers, pres
ent leader of the Cubs.
1T means a lot of worry" said John,
and the expression on the Trojan's
face as he gave vent to the words
more than told the story.
Being simply ball player, one who
is told what to do and when to do it,
is fine business, particularly il one is
able to do as he is told the proper
time, but jumping from that position
to one where it becomes necessary to
give the orders ard know just when
and where a thing should be done.
and by whom, is a different matter
Evers a Changed Man.
E.Ners' face is a veritable score
board Glance at it after game that
the Cubs have won, and you can al
most read the score. There is a smile
playing about his countenance that
tells the tale more plainly than the
tape.
If. however. the Cubs have lost, the
worried expression on Johns face tells
the tale more plainly than figures.
The managership of the Cubs has
made a changed man of EVers. He is
restless and continually worried. He
sleeps but little nights, smokes al
most necessarily, and is simply a
bundle of quivering nerves.
This is true with practically all Of
the new managers in the National
7 nxpanfin1 NnrhanG
of Joe Tinker.
Here is one boss who is taking
things as they come living an easy,
simple life, and is always looking on
the bright side.
Makes Pals of His Men.
Joe makes companions of his men.
If one of the Reds makes rank bob
BILE Joe has little to say about it on
the field.
F.vers pursues a different method.
If the pitcher seems to be going bad,
John walks in from his path at second
and tells the delinquent that it is time
for him to either smoke up or get
out. Opinion differs as TO the advisa-
bility Of this method, but John seems
to be getting results while Joe's club
is still down in the rut.
Miller Higgins is another upon
whom the managerial duties have
weighed heavily. When the season
opened Huggins was one Of the most
pleasant. affable little fellows one
would care to meet.
The Cards started off like a bunch
Of two-year- Odds, and Miller could see
nothing but the silver lining, but as
the season waXed stronger the Cards
slumped and the cloud lost its glitter
ing lining, Higgins rapidly lost that
pleasant disposition and is now fight.

MEYERS TRIED
NEW PLAY ON
EBBETS FIELD
Bv Sam Crane.

n FEW YORK, July 14.-Chief Mey-
" ers tried for a play recently in
the Giants Dodgers series over
at Ebbets Field that has splendid pos
siblities 1t is not at all likely,
though. that the Chiefs original con
ception will be followed to such an
extent that the present style of play
ing baseball will be revolutionized.
But, still, the Chief is entitled to great
credit for his originality.
| have seen players back up their
own wild throws, ana once saw Dan
O'Leary chase a ball he threw over a
grandstand and nail the batter at the
plate. but the latter sprung as big a
charley horse in one of his legs as
Dan was laboring under in his head,
but when a catcher runs down into
deep right field and with a chance to
return the ball TO the plate in time to
nail the batter at the position the
catcher just vacated. then l am sure
there is nothing new in baseball.
This is exactly what Chief Meyers
did.
Meyers Chases Ball.

games Miller. of the Dodgers, splash
ed slow roller along the third base
line. Shafer got the ball and whipped
it to Merkle like a shot. The runner
and the ball got to first at about the
same instant, and Merxle, having no
chance to catch the ball 1t went out
into foul ground and caromed off the
low concrete wall toward Burns. who
was playing right field. Meyers an
ticipated the play as if by second
sight, and as the ball whistled by Mer-
kle, the Chief was seen dashing madly
past first, chasing the speeding pellet

it, too, when Burns picked 1t up and

Chance for Rare Play.
Now. it would have been the easiest
play in the world for Meyers to have
got the ball and II Miller had kept on
home to have pinched him at the
plate by ten feet or more.
If that play had been pulled off II
would surely have been the strangest
ever made on the ball field, and the
Chief would have been the most
talked of and written about player in
the country.
1t was as startlingly thrilling an
attempt at backing up as I ever wit
messed, and the Chief rather showed
up some of his speedy fellow players
who pride themselves on their sprint
ing and cast good natured slurs at
the Chiefs running powers.

JAKE STAHL MAY

n T. LOUIS. MO. July 14.--Jaks

In uniform because the injured leg,
which has kept him out of the game
all season, hasn't fully mended 1t is
said that Stahl may not be able to
play at all this season.
II has been Stahls failure to play
that has had a deal to do with the
Red Sox slump this season, after hav-
ing won the worlds championship
from the Giants last fall. Stahl was
one of the teams best hit makers a
year ago. when they finished in front
of the American League field. While
StahPs absence has had its i'll effect

Tim Murnane, the old time pitcher
and now a baseball writer in Boston.
says the failure Of Joe Wood to pitch
up to his 1912 form was the real cause
OF the Sox's slump.
"W GOD sprained his thumb in the
" early part of the season and
couldn't get going right" said Muir
name. In fact. he isn't right just
yet. a the sprain won't permit him
getting the proper grip on the ball.
"Stahl and Wood we're of great
value to the team a year ago, but the
club has figured In hard luck in other
ways this year AT different times
Larry Gardner, Wagner and Lewis
has been out of the lineup because of
injuries or other causes.
Buck O'Brien was sold to the
White Sox at a good figure He's
not a poor pitcher, by any means, but
was permitted to go because he just
couldn't win for the Boston team. His
record with the Red Sox this season
was something like three victories
and eight losses. He should prove a
good man for Callahan"
THE Red Sox are hopeful that some
thing will happen to enable them
TO again represent the American
League in the worlds series. But
they are making no wagers that they
will again cut in on the spoils.
They realize that the present lead
Of the Athletics of Philadelphia is al
most too great to overcome at this
stage of the campaign. II would be

ern shore.
Thus the Potomac river throughout its
entire length between Virginia and Mary
land belongs wholly to Maryland, and
yet Maryland is restrained by the COM
pact of 1875 from legislating in regard to
fishing rights In the Potomac except by
the consent of Virginia, as otherwise the
law is practically void.
The result is that the Potomac river
has bocem no mans land" where
people may fish or oyster in season or
out of season without liability, and when
an illegal cargo Of oysters is overhauIed
anywhere In the bay the ready excuse
may be offered that they come from the
Potomac.
The joint committee, Of which Senator
Lnthicum Is chairman, has the difficult
task Of negotiating a settlement of the
question The effort has been made he
fore many times without any practical
result.
Hope Of greater success now rests
chiefly on the fact that with the snread
of oyster culture in Virginia it has now
become desirable to that state also In
bring the oyster industry in the Potomac
under legal control.

Start of Movement.

The matter Immediately under consid-
GRAFTON at Mount Vernon in 1855 was
only one instance of the general need for
a uniform system of commercial regula-
tons. and that conference was the start
ing point of movement to obtain such
a system. A convention called in behalf
of the movement met at Annapolis Sep
TENDER II, 1885, and that convention is
sued the call for the convention which
met at Philadelphia in May. 1877, and
framed the Constitution of the United
States. Gen. Washington presided. and
thus had the satisfaction of seeing the
triumphant conclusion of the movement
started in his parlor in 1855.
At the Mount Vernon conference the
commissioners on the part Of Maryland
were Daniel Jenifer, Thomas Stone and
Samuel Chase, on the part of Virginia,
George Mason and Alexander Henderson.
1t has been frequently said that the
Maryland commissioners were complete
~ outgeneraled in the conference, but
the spirit in which they met should be
considered. They had more their
minds than the settlement of the ques-
tons Immediately before them.

Controlling Position.

Moreover, it should be remembered
that at that time Virginia had control
ling position from her possession of the
capes of the Chesapeake. Maryland COM
merce could not reach the ocean save
through Virginia waters. In those cir
cumstances, and in view of the purposes
of the Potomac Company, in whose sue
cess both states were interested, 1t is not
surprising that the Maryland commits
sioners should have agreed that the
Potomac should be a common highway
with the proviso that the right of fish
ing in the river shall be common and
equally enjoyed by the citizens of both
states.
The Maryland commissioners have been
blamed for not insisting upon such
equality of privilege on behalf of Mary
land in Pocomoke and Tangier sounds,
which are traversed by the boundary line
between the two states on the eastern
shore. This is said to have been a negli-
gence. Virginia was alert on the point,
AND the Virginia act of 1855, passed in
pursuance OF the compact, forbids citizens
of Maryland from taking oysters in POGO
moke and Tansler sounds. The confer
ence was not. however, a boundary line
negotiation, but it's object was a COM
mercial treaty to secure freedom of nayi-
cation. The federal Constitution a few
years later made a clean sweep of diff
| culties in this field, but at the time the
conference met it was the paramount
| subject of interest, to which all other
matters were Subordinated
