Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-01-30

II believe he Will have to work
any too hard with his New
York team this year, for he has
announced that he will syndicate
Al series of baseball stories during
the season.
For years Frank Farrell, owner
of the American league club in
Gotham, has been forced TO suffer
untold financial and mental worry,
simply because he didn't have the
right sort of men managing his
athletes.
When he secured Chance, we
were sure that he had finally land
cd a man who would pay strict at
fention to his job and give New
York fans a run for their money.
But the $4,000 per year, or what
ever salary Chance is to draw,
doesn't seem to be enough to sat
fsfy his hunger.
He is trying to gather more ma
yuma by writing stories for news
papers. Petty work for such a man
in such a position and here's hop
ing that Mr.. Farrell puts the llibosh
on it at once.
The following letter from the
Peerless Leader" we'll explains it
self:
Cub Ranch, Glendora. Calf.
January 20, 1918.
Dear Sir: Beginning with the open
ing of the training season | will write
a weekly article on baseball. In these
articles l viii discuss the game, cur
rent happenings and items, because
of their opportuneness, will be of in
terest to fandom in general. l will
write in a straight from the shoulder
style and naturally will be in a posi-
ton to give my readers real, cold
facts, instead of having to make pre-
dctions and pad my articles with
club house chatter or Joe Miller
Jokes about umpires Pep" will be
the keynote of my stories.
MY wide experience, both as man
ager and player and my knowledge
Of all angles of the sport, should give
my articles extraordinary value. [
am going to try to make my stories
so intimately accurate that the ''in-
side" features will prove fully as SEN
sational as the inside" playing of
my worlds championship club,
The stories are my own. My de-
csion to issue them came of a desire
to have opportunity to say in my own
way and in my own words, to the mil
lions of bah fans, just what l felt
like saying. My name never was is
not, and never will be at the com
mand Of any writer or syndicate, and
every story appearing under it will be
dictated by me All business per
tanning to these must be done with
me direct.
My series of stories will run
through the 1913 worlds champion
ship. And in addition to this serv-
ice | will be ready at all times to
answer Your requests for telegraph
stories on important current happen
ngs. There will be no charge for
such extra service.

WHILE Johnson and Al Palzer are
arguing over a fight in France,
the most logical claimant of the
heavyweight championship-Lut
McCarty-is beginning to talk real
business, through his manager.
This is what William Mccartney
has TO say about McCaCtys inten-
lions (the wording is McCarneys
own:
Luther McCarty, worlds heavy
weight will fight Bombardier Wells or
amy other white heavyweight if suffi-
Gent lnducement in financial man
'ef IS made for his services. Just
no" ne is engaged in theatrical work
h order to give his hands, which
We're badly used in the Palzer fight,
rest.
! also figure that in his present
work he will have an opportunity of
allowing the tistic fans of the country
an opportunity of becoming better
acquainted with the new champion
nave received offers of fights with
AeaVyWeights of the country between
now ana July 4, which, if accepted by
U.S. will net Luther 100000, l be-
-eVe that, while we like the stage
work, we will soon give it up, for
Luther loves the boxing game and is
again impatient to be back in har-
ness. However, he will not forsake
me iootlights until his hands are
aIFong enough to enable him to do his
most effective work.
We shall go through the North fill
lhg our theatrical engagements until
March Il, when we will be in Co
.Ninbus, Ohio, On that date McCarty
Will be Il years old and he insists
'u celebrating the occasion in the
..rcle We have selected no man
FOR his opponent; in fact, we have
never selected a man for Luther to
poH except man who was regarded
3y the public better man than he.
