COLUMBIA READY TO PULL
OUT OF SOUTH ATLANTIC

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 6.-Baseball
is dead in Columbia; or at least Sally
league ball is. There seems not a
chance now that anybody will be viii
ling to back the team here T. c. Will
ltams, the big man behind ball here
for more than two years, said recently:
Columbia will not have professional
ball in 1913. | am out of the game,

His associates in the present fran
chise holders are e. w. Robertson. f.
S. Terry and George L. Baker These
gentlemen have no desire to continue
to promote the game here.
Mr.. Williams took hold of the club
in the middle of the 1910 season. He
headed the company that furnished a
pennant winner for half of the 1912
season and was at the helm last season
throughout. He has lost a little money
probably, though not much. In 1910 he
did not fare profitably, but in 1911 he
made enough money to make up for the
losses of the previous season and then
some. Last year he lost what had been
earned the year before and little
more.

Ny time the New York Giants
n get mixed up in scraps it is
/ Il of interest to local baseball
fans who will never forget their
disgraceful actions out at Poncy
mark in the spring of 1911. They
tried to get away with some rough
sniff then, but were cleaned up to
fare-ye- well. Since then they
have acted halfway decent until
recently. But right now four Of
tem are affiliated with scandal.
The latest one of them to break
into print is LaRue Kirby, recent
pitcher. He is charged with play
ing too free and loose with the pal
pitators of the impressible fair sex.
We have stood without much
trepidation the dillydallying of such
old Ieaguers as RUDE Marquard and
Fred Snodgrass, but when the
obushers' come to the front among
the Giants and figure in $4,000
breach of promise suit the legal
aspect of the litigations against
Marquard and Snodgrass appear
somewhat paltry in comparison.
Then. again, Fred Merllle has
forged his way into the limelight by
being sued for $4,000 for the little
pleasantly of knocking the teeth
out of the mouth of a more or less
unwilling bartender, like so many
beans.
That makes four Giants who have
been made conspicuous before the
public by reason of little vagaries
that, while the accused players
may be entirely innocent of the
charges made against them, still
neither themselves nor the game
will be uplifted by the scandals.
The Giants got the losers end of
the last worlds series, but what
would have happened had they
taken the extra $500 that went to
the Red SoX makes one gasp to
think of, The impression seems to
prevail throughout the country
that the Giants departed for their
homes after the worlds series was
over with money bulging from all
their pockets, and the slightest
chance for a damage suit was
ampel at as if it was money from
he folks.
Champion ball players should,
Therefore, be very careful in flu
ture not to leave themselves open
to dangerous complications.
Kirby, who pitched one game for
the Giants and won it and then de-
veloped lame arm, has been sued
for $4,000 for breach of promise by
Miss Anna Rauschanberger It is
not stated in the reports from
Michigan that the cause of Kirby's
welching on his promise was the
fair ones name, but if it was. even
Charley Murphy, the alibi king,
might be excused for such an ex-
cuse.
But Anna claims her feelings
nave been hurt $685. worth for
not being enabled to change her
name to the much shorter one of
Kirby" Now, the strike-out king
OF the Michigan league, as Kirby
was called, has about as much
chance to accumulate unto himself
$4,000 as RUDE Vanguard, and
Rube thinks he is an actor
1t will be interesting to hear
what answer Kirby will make to
his suit 1t will be remembered
that Marquard's defense was that
the fair actress with whom he be-
came entangled had no affections

ABEL AND
WHITNEY WORK
HARD FOR co
By Left Hook.

II RANK WHITNEY and Jake
Abel are hard at work for
their ten round mill at the
Dixie Athletic club tomorrow night.
Both realize that they must be in
tiptop condition to earn the award
of Referee Mike Saul, and they are
leaving no stone unturned in their
training camps.
This is the first fight that has
been staged here in a long time, eX-
cepting the Morris Kubiak affair
where one man hasn't verify APP
peared to have a good big edge on
the other. The wagering contin-
gent are up in the air this time, and
all bets made to date have been at
evens.
In sizing up the men, it is i'm
possible to find shade in favor of
either. Abel is the better boxer,
but can not hit as hard as Whit
ney And as far as weight goes, it
is almost an even thing. The men
are going to make 1875 pounds at 6
o'clock. Whitney probably won't
weigh an ounce over that mark
when ne climbs into the ring, for
he is a natural lightweight Abel
will probably take on about two
pounds after he gets off the scales.
It's almost a cinch that both men
will be on their feet at the end Of
the tenth round. But those ten
rounds should be pippins. Both
boys realize that a defeat will cost
them a lot of money and prestige,
while the winner will be in line
for the best boys of his weight
that Southern promoters can get
down from the East and West.
Knockout Brown is almost sure
to meet the winner within the next
two or three weeks, and Brown
match would draw mighty close to
a $4,000 house.
The promoters have arranged
two other matches for tomorrow
night. Christy Williams and Kid
Mitchell are to go ten rounds,
while Arthur Worthy and Jack
Murphy hook up in a six-rounder.
The other bout will be between Kid
Young. the boy who stopped Spider
Britt last week. and some good boy.
WITHIN the next ten days or two
w weeks. the Grant Athletic
club expects to stage its first show
at the old tabernacle. Here's hop
ing that Atlanta can support two
clubs, although yours truly doubts
it very. very much
Also. here's hoping that the two
rival clubs will work together and
not try to knife each other. If the
promoters do get to fighting among
themselves, it viii kill the game
here as sure as today is Monday.
JIMMY PERRY is expected in
) town this week, and it is likely
that the Dixie A. c. will put him on
with some good welterweight a
week from tomorrow night. Pro-
moter Norton is figuring on get
ting Wildcat Ferns for James.
Ferns has been fighting all the
t0pnotchers in the middle West,
and winning consecutiveIy, too. He
and Perry ought to put upa slash
ing good scrap.
g PIDER BRITT is going to the
- country for a long rest. The lit
tie paperweight believes that his
backslide was due to too much
work, and that only a good, long
visit on some farm will put him
back in shape
Britt has been fighting alto
gether too much for a boy of his
weight. When he climbed into the
ring against Kid Young last Tues
day night, he was as weak as a
newborn babe. Spider smokes too
many cigarettes.

could have excelled Cobb's record:
There were frequent occasions
when the hurlers took a chance in
giving him his base rather than
run the risk of having the cover

the fact that he did not walk him

additional fame in the last
worlds series as in the previous
year but the distinguished citi-
zen of Trappe, Maryland. did

records prove that the home run
gent was a very active young man
with the bat, even if Quaker fans
did entertain fears for some time
that batting was becoming a lost
art with him. Following the 1911
worlds series in which J. Frank

Giants with his mighty clouts the
fans expected him to keep up the
heaVy smuggling. and because he
was unable to respond with a hit
every time the fans implored him
to hit 'er out" it was said in
some sections that he was going
back.
But figures don't lie, and in this
case they uphold the brilliant third
.baseman's reputation as an excep-
ttonally valuable batsman. Baker
was responsible for 1873 runs cred
