Boxing Notes

Jim Corbett never misses a chance
TO see Packey Mcfarland when he
boxes in New York. Corbett says that
the Chicago boy is the cleverest man
in the ring and that he ought to be al
lowed to make 1856 pounds at 3 o'clock
as contender for the lightweight title.
Gentleman Jim also believes that
Packey could whip Mike Gibbons at

Charley Lee and KID Young are
putting or the final touches for their
ten-round go at Athens Wednesday,
their daily workouts and should put up
corking battle.
The other ten-round bout at Athens
between 7 ,ank Baker and Jack Payne
is also attracting much attention among
local fans. Baker has many friends
here who think he can beat any boy Of
his weight around these parts and are
willing to back him with good money.
In Payne, however, Baker is going to
meet tough boy. Jack is one of the
hardest boys In the ring to get at, and
is also glutton for punishment He is
the owner of dandy kick in his right
hand.
1t looks as if the Richie Cross bout,
postponed from last Wednesday until
November TO- may not take place until
December, as the Garden is not avail
able.

Football Hardest Sport in World
to "Dope" 0ut-Crimson
Eleven Looks Best.
By Frank G. Menker.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The unde-

Is about the only thing that to- day
checks the impulse TO order an east
ern championship" banner, the hand
ng Of it to that Harvard gang and
the ringing down Of the curtain on
the 1918 gridiron season in the East.
But football being football makes
it the hardest sport in the world to

behOOves one to curb such impulses
and e. the boys fight it out for sew

secondly because the near future may
mold some very unexpected result.

where there Is any call to pay
over the bonus. Result; A fierce
argument and the player doesn't
get his extra $500.
From that time on he is of lit
tie use to the club He would bet
ter be traded or sold He is sore
over what he considers rank
treatment.
There are many cases Of this
kind every year. The only way to
put a stop to these chickering's is
to pass a law preventing the Of
fering Of bonuses.

IL of the st. Louis Nstio=@SS
promised Larry H,----can a bonus
Of $500 - - Sustained from malt,
spirltuous and vinous liquors dur
ing the 1918 brush.
Larry was on the wagon all
season, but in the middle Of the
season was transferred to New
York. Chief Meyers was on the
injured list and Larry. by his good
catching, prevented the pennant
from slipping from McGraw. At
the close OF the season Larry
wrote to the Cards about the $500
bonus. The reply came quick:
I'VE don't pay bonuses to play
ers of rival teams"
Then he went to President
Hampstead, and received another
blunt answer:

A TLANTA is the BEST BASEBALL
"A TOWN IN THE SOUTH.
We made that statement a few
times, also in capital letters, during

We now submit Judge Kavanaugh' S

We are not running away with any
wild ideas, because Atlanta had d
good ball club last year, and made a
rousing finish that brought out some
prodigious crowds.
. UT allowing for all of that, and
ID taking into consideration the fact
that 1918 was a slack" year in base
ball everywhere, Atlanta's average of
$3.50 persons to the game looks
mighty big for town of Atlanta g
size-or a bigger town.
An average of 1000 persons to the
game is considered good, out in the
American Association. which has
Kansas City, and Minneapolis
Louisville, and Toledo, and lot of
big cities in 1t.
Atlanta's average in 1918 was $3.50.

The committee of the Fleet Wing
Hook and Ladder Company are now
preparing to push the advertise
ment and arrangement for their
Carnival June 28th to July 9TH.
They have been holding quiet to
some extent out of courtesy to the
Union Fire Company until they could
bring to a successful close their
bazaar.
The Company has contracted tor
their new apparatus with the Sea-
graves Company for a combination
Hook & Ladder and chemical truck.
They will need about $4,000 to make
their final payment, and it is hoped
the citizens will take an interest
and help them pay for this apparatus
which will be most effective one
for fire protection; and one OF their
objects in purchasing this type of
apparatus has been to give protect
ion to the Cottage Hill section of our
city, and this has added something
to the cost
The committee has contracted
with the Union, Columbia and Hiber-
MIA Fire Company for concessions
that will mutually be profitable to
the whole Fire Department.
They are also arranging with a
Pony, Dog, Cat and Monkey Circus
which is expected to be very great
attraction in addition to the usual
features.
