POLITICAL RUMORS ARE
AGAIN MUCH ASTIR

Atlanta, Jan THAT old Dame Ru-
NOR" whose wondrous wings Virgil
so well describes, is making a nigh =
whirring with her pinions over Geor-
gia's political horizon at this dawn
ing of the new year.
She is juggling with the names cf
noted Georgians in about the same elo-
quent and careless style in which the
spell-binding orator plays marbles
with the sun and moon and stars.
Here's the frame-up, not as it is go
ing to happen, but as you can solemn
ly hear it is going to happen, if you
stop long enough to gossip this morn
ing in any downtown hotel lobby:
Hoke Smith is going to the cabinet
after all; John NJ. Slaton will go to
the United States senate; Congressman
Gordon Lee will become governor, and
Hon, w. J. Harris will go to con-
gress.
Don't swallow all that as solemn
fact. Just ponder over it as rumor
There is plenty of interesting feed
for speculation in it, without the nee
essity for its being true.
Of course, it may all turn out true.
But it is something like the house that
Jack built, or like the row of domino
soldiers-if Hoke Smith is not per
suaded to become a member of VIII
sons cabinet, the rest cannot follow.
The most interesting fact in connec-
ton with the situation, and the thing
which is worthy OF recording, is that
the rumor above outlined is enjoying
a wide and healthy existence at this
moment.

NO SUNDAY BALL
FOR new LEAGUE

Plans for the projected Commercial

with gratifying support

Fred w. Lau, physical director OF the

I'VE saw where we could be OF some
service to the men employed Dy the
different firms in town, whos Wnen
they left their work on Saturday

able three hours to look forward 10.
At first the intention was to organize
a league composed entirely Of mem
bers of the Y NJ C. A. and also en-
pIoyed by the different business
houses But this appeared as trifle
selfish, for many men would be In
terested and would wish to play yet
could not afford to belong to the "Y,",
Just to play ball, so in order to give
as many men as wishes, an oppor-
tunity to have some fun on Saturday
afternoon the league is being organ
lied on the non-membership basis.
"An article in the morning paper
of yesterday may lead some people
to believe that the Y. M C. A. Is
promoting Sunday baseball. Who
ever wrote the item must have
thought Sunday was the only day for
the great national game In going
to the different men organizing the
different teams it was expressly stipu-
lated that this was to be a Saturday
stunt and on Saturday only were
there to DE games of baseball"
This coming week meeting will
be neld which all the captains or
managers will be requested to attend.
ms meeting will be held in the
physical directors office OF the Y. M.
q. A., the league formally organized
and the schedule arranged.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-"Who
is the heavyweight champion now?'
sporting men are asking.
The astounding death of Luther
McCarty, killed by punch by Ar
thur Pelkey, in the first round OF
their fight in Calgary, fell like a
bomb in the camps OF Jess Willard
and Gunboat Smith, and in the offices
of promoters and managers who had
been figuring on a twenty-round
heavyweight bout for the Fourth of
July that should definitely settle the
champ ionship.
Smith was seeking bout with Nc.
Carly, who he assumed in advance to
he the winner. Willard was trying
rather obviously for return bout
with Smith. who won close decision
from him recently. Promoters thought
Smith and McCarty. or Pefkey if he
won, were the logical pair

Other fighters have killed men in
rhe ring and fought again, but with
public opinion what 1t now is in Cali
fornia, 1t was conceded that he would

yived the last session of the Califor-
MIA legislature, and, though the legis-
iature will not meet again for two
years, there remains in Gov. John
sons hands the power to forbid any
bout offensive to the general public
1t was. remembered that the clamor
attending the Jeffries-Johnson bout
caused him to ban it from the state
after the promoters had made all their
arrangements.
Pelkey was generally judged entitled
TO the championship by the unhappy
defeat of the foremost of the white
hopes. Should he decline, or for any
reason be unable to defend it, Gunboat
Smith, by his defeat of Jesse Willard,
seems the next foremost claimant.
