KILLED WHILE ON JOY RIDE

ST. LOUIS, Jan. III. r. Davie,
secretary to Mrs. H. H. r. Britton.
owner Of the Cardinals, was killed here
at o'clock this morning in an auto
accident. William H. Walthers, who
was in the auto, also was killed.
1t is said they were running at least
90 miles an hour when the machine
suddenly turned and ran into a fire
plug at Grand avenue and North Mar
ket street, not far from Sportsman's
park. The machine was crushed to a
heap of splintered wood and twisted
steel. 1t was wrecked completely.
Davie and Walthers were thrown to
the pavement and the fire plug was
broken off so that d deluge of water
poured out. The crash awakened peo-
pie in the neighborhood and they called
the fire department. which had to wade
in water knee deep to pull out The
bodies. Davie came here from CIeve-
land year ago to be secretary to Mrs
Brltton. He was about 80 wears Ole.
The men had been joying riding.

So Knockouts In 118 Bouts Is Browns Record
Man Who Meets Abel at Auditorium a Wonder

Just how good Knockout Brown
is and how greatly he is feared by
other boxers is shown by his expe-
rience with Ad Wolgast. When
Ad was champion Brown was keen
for bout. Finally Brown cornered
Wolgast and they went on in
stX-round engagement in Philadel-
phia, where decisions are not al.
lowed. Brown showed up the
champion. Less than a month later
they tried it over in New York, and
Wolgast got such beautiful lacing
that ne couldn't be bought or ca
Joled into meeting Brown again
If he wasn't afraid, then he lust
figured he couldn't afford to take
the chance.
Knockout Brown meets a WORTHY
opponent in Jake Abel This lad
has shown well, not only with sec
ond-raters but with good lads like
Joe Mandot and Frank whitney.
He has a larger following in At
lanta than any lightweight who
ever boxed here.
The bouts next Friday are SOLELY
for the benefit of the Atlanta Grays
and the Capital City Guards Every
cent of profit will be used for the
FUND which is to pay the expenses
of sending these two companies to
take part in the parade and the
other ceremonies in connection with
the inauguration of Wilson.

Atlantic league forbidding the
clubs to play more than four men
who had formerly played in
leagues of higher classification
than the sally has, in my opin-
ion, been a decided success. Hav-
ing written sports" in the Sally
ever since the first season of it's
organization, l believe that | am
in position to judge on the sue
cess or failure of the movement
Last season the fans of this cir
cult saw the best baseball they
ever saw. Every club in the
league was down to the limit and
there was not a club In the or
ganization that did not develop
from one to three youngsters who
were graduates from Glass c ball
at the end Of the season. or who
Will not earn this reward next
fall. odd timers were few and
far between in the South Atlantic
last season and youngsters who
have been looking for an oppor-
tunity for two or three seasons
past were put in their places and
are delivering the goods, beyond
the question of a doubt. The
Jacksonville team, for instance,
was composed almost entirely of
youngsters and the four players
with the local club who had seen
higher than Glass C service were
practically youngsters.
Locally, baseball is in better
shape than it has been for many
years.
Asked for my honest opinion as
to the success or failure of the sal
airy and player limit 'of the South
Atlantic league for the 1912 sea-
son, | do not hesitate to say that
l figure 1t the grandest success in
the history of the league.
Watch the youngsters go from
the Sally to higher leagues next
fall.
OF course. you fans aren't par
ticularly interested in the WAYS
the Southern league adopts for cut =
ting down expenses. And yet you
are, for you want baseball to con-
tinue. The fact that every vear
two or three clubs are calling for
help, as the Montgomery club was
this year, tells the story. Baseball
ought to be run so that every club
has reasonable chance of making
money-not every year, but a mod
crate amount in the long run. As
things stand now, they haven't this
chance.
BY limiting the number Of players
who have seen big league service,
three things will be accomplished.
l. Expenses will be cut. Former
big leaguers get the big salaries.
Do you want to know the two
men who got the highest salaries
from the Atlanta association last
year? They were Vedder Sitton
and Humpty McElveen! Were they
getting them because they were
worth more? Look in the record
book for the answer to that one.
They were getting the coin because
they were eX-big leaguers.
, 1t would force the South, IN
league to develop more young ball
players. The young players fur
nish the most interesting ball. any
way. And they sometimes turn out
to he worth a lot of money to the
clubs, who can sell them to the big
leagues.
3. The rule can be enforced. There
is no earthly way Of enforcing q
salary limit. But anybody who is
on the job can keep out lot OF
eX-big leaguers, for they are known
to all wise baseball folks.

The lightweight situation in
America at present is in pretty
much of tumble, with champion
clutching the title whose ability to
defend it is most doubtful and with
a crowd of claimants who could
easily make his life miserable. OF
all the lot there is no better, more
