To WIN TO-DAY;
NUSSER WORKS
By Joe Agler.
Cracker First Baseman.)

x CHATTANOOGA, TENN. April
Manager Bill Smith has Sc
lected Blonde" Musser to twirl
the third and last game in Chatta-
uooga for the Crackers, with Pat
Graham behind the bat. Troy. the
sptball pitcher and Charley Street
viii do the heavy work for the Chat
tanoogans.
The Crackers won another yester-
DAY, 3 to ..
Gilbert Price did some effective
tvirling. Tommy Long starred at
bat.
The Atlanta players kept up their
wonderful fielding, and made two fast
double plays.
Lefty" Price was a wild twirler
yesterday-very wild-but he had
good control in the pinches and man
aged TO keep his hits scattered.
THE Crackers drove Coveleskie from
L the mound by hard hitting. Big
Bill Chappelle was then sent in. and
held the Crackers helpless the rest of
the game. Although hit hard, Bill
managed to escape. The Crackers
smashed the pellet viciously, but to
some one who was waiting for the
ball.
The Crackers hope to take to-day's
game.
All the players are in high spirits
and want to make it three straight.
All the Atlanta players will receive
new hats. Manager Smith will pass
around new lids for winning two out
Of three of the contests.
Carl Flick whom Manager Elber-
field purchased from the Athletics,
played in yesterdays game. He re-
placed Otto Jordan, who will prob
ably be released soon.
Gillespie will not be released. On
account Of the showing made by this
lad on opening day, Manager Elber-
leld will probably keep him as utility
man this season.
DOUGLAS HARRISON Joined the
- local club last night, and looks to
be in tiptop shape. He will probably
be In to-days game.
Manager Clark Griffith has offered
Manager Smith an infielder from the
Senators, but the local manager thinks
young Walter Heating will fill the gap
at ShortstOp. Manager Smith figures
that he can carry weak hitter and
depend on the rest of the Cracker
outfit to drive in the runs, IL he has
good fielding shortstop.
BILLY SMITH has not fully de-
II cided on his battery for the OPEN
or in Atlanta, but in all probability
the pitcher WHO will be called upon
To deceive the Baron batters will be

handle the Kings delivery.
The Atlanta Club will make a
speedy getaway after to-day's game,
and get the 6:15 p m. train on the
Southern for Atlanta, arriving in At
lanta at II o'clock. The players will
go TO the grounds Sunday afternoon
and prepare for the opening contest
and show the fandom of Atlanta the
greatest ball club that ever repre-

GOVERNMENT MONEY
MAY HELP BUILD ROAD FROM
HUNTINGTON TO STATE
CAPITAL.
Governor is Willing to Recommend
This Route to Those in Charge of
Fund If Counties Act Promptly.

Charleston.-If Kanawha and Cabell
counties join hands and act promptly
it will be possible to improve the road
between the two cities, assisted by the
United States government. The two
cities have already given the matter
some consideration, and the matter
has been placed before the governor.
Discussing the matter Gov. Glass
cock said:
about a month ago / received a
joint letter from the postmaster gen
eral and secretary of agriculture re
ferring to the appropriation made by
congress of 100000 to be expended by
the secretary of agriculture in coop
GRAFTON with the postmaster general in
improving the conditions of roads to
be selected by them over which rural
delivery is or may hereafter be estab-
lished and stating that if would
cause to be selected a suitable road
in this state about fifty miles long
over the entire length of which is de-
livery of mail by rural carriers and
arrange to have $4,000 raised by the
state or local subdivisions thereof,
in accordance with the requirements
of the law, the federal government
would set aside $4,000 additional from
the appropriation above referred to
and eXpend the sum of 100000 thus
provided, or so much of it as might
seem wise, for the improvement and
maintenance of the road selected.
Il gave notice of this fact to the
newspapers sometime since and have
received several applications for this
money. Some of the applicants, how.
ever, were not in position to fully
comply with the conditions of the APP
preparation, in this that the road that
they desired to improve was not fifty
miles in length, and the first to place
themselves in a position to receive this
money are persons interested in the
improvement of the road between
Charleston and Huntington and if
Kanawha and Cabell counties will
provide for the $4,000 required by the
government l will recommend that the
$4,000 which the government is to
furnish be used in improving and
maintaining the road between here
and Huntington.

Billy Papke of kewanee.

than the Kewanee lad since the days
of Tommy Ryan His style of milling
was liked, as was his willingness to
scrap" while in the ring. Papke,
when struggling for the title a few
years ago, never was known to stall.
Getting into the ring and slashing toe
to toe with his opponent was his
chief hobby, and he made himself IA
nous with his '1oop-de-loop" punch,
which he first used successfully
against Hugo Kelly in Milwaukee,
when he conquered the then crack
middleweight fighter.
He has not changed his style of
boxing any, it is said. This means
there is trouble ahead for Eddie Nc
Goorty and Mike Gibbons, who are
striving to settle the middleweight
championship of America among
themselves. Neither has met fight
er of Papke's type and will find the
going bit rough when they meet
one. Neither can hit hard enough to
stop Papke. Ketchel was known as
knocked out thirty-three men in forty
six fights, and this included the best
sluggers of his day. Papke, In his
bouts with the late champion, staged
a bitter and desperate fight and gave
as good as he received until he was
knocked out. He lost because Ketchel
carried the sitter punch.

When Billy Papke of Kewanee, ILL.,,
returns to America it will be to bat
tie for the middleweight boxing
championship of the world. When he
is to return is not known at present,
but it is thought it will be within a
few months. At present he is fighting
in France and England with much sue
cess. He has been across the pond
less than six months and in that
period has won the championship of
his division in England and France.
He has had three battles and won all
three on knockouts.
Papke is in the form displayed when
champion of the world and stood as
rival of Stanley Ketchel for the hon
ors. Then he was referred to as the
illinois Thunderbolt," and he was
deserving of the appellation. Defeats
by Ketchel took most of the aggres-
sive fighting spirit out of him and
he has been some time in recuperat
ing. 1t is said he has fully recovered
and is a "Tipton Slasher" He has
his former knockout punch back and
is as fast as ever. His condition
reports have it, could not be improved
upon and he is making the middle
weight limit without any trouble.
There will be considerable action
in the middleweight ranks when
Papke comes back. Aside from Ketch-
ell, no 158-pounder was more popular

value in developing young players.
Every one of these men would more
than earn his seasons salary if he
saved only one youngster a season If
he taught new man enough things
to make a real star of him he would
make up for his salary for at least
five years. More than ninety-five per
cent. of the young players given
chances each year fail to make good,
and it is seldom a youngster holds a
big league berth on his first oppor-
tunity, but it takes two and sometimes
three chances to get the young play
ers onto the regular teams.
Z Most of the instructors are needed
for young pitchers, but it is just as es-
sential for the young players of other
departments to have instruction as it
is for the pitchers. A shining exam
pie of the worth of Kid Gleason to
the White Sox team last fall was CIV
en- in the city series when he showed
Ray Schalk how to stop the spitball
Ed. Walsh was throwing. Before Glea-
son got down on his knees and demon
strated to the youngster that he would
have to do the same, Walsh's splitter
was getting away from him and the
Sox were not winning, but after the
lesson the Sox made one-sided affair
of the series.
