Enterprise Rarely Equaled.

From the Rome Tribune Herald:

American, issued from the office Of
The Atlanta Georgian by William
Randolph Hearst, appeared on April
and was fully up to the stand
ard of the best newspapers issued by
Mr.. Hearst The newspaper in ques-
tiOn was prepared by the editorial
and news staff Of The Atlanta Geor-
gian. chiefly. with some assistance
from other quarters. II was filled
with a number Of special article by
members OF The Georgian staff, inter
estingly written and in the main of
vital and compelling interest.
The appearance Of Mr.. Hearst in
the field of Southern journalism has
been a welcome addition TO the long
list of splendid newspapers publish
ed in this section. The brilliant

progressive and best known publish
ers on the American continent, own
ing and publishing a chain Of news
papers in cities extending from the
Atlantic to the Pacific His style of
journalism is followed out in all his
publications and has impressed it.
self on the American public.
He chose Atlanta as the point best
suited for the establishment of his
Southern enterprise. He could not
have done better, as that city is per-
hapS the most typical representative
Of Southern progress among the cit
les of this section
The Sunday American is destined
TO be a great newspaper if the first
issue is any Critrion. II is an eXhi-
bitiOn of journalistic enterprise rarely
equaled in the South.
The Tribune Herald takes pleasure
in wishing for it the most unbounded
success.

Pittsburg, Pa. April 25.-After a
day and nights rest here the Cubs
will resume their argument with the
Pittsburg Pirates today in the first of
a series of four games. half of which
are to be staged here and the other
half in Chicago. The strife will be
for second place, which at present is
in dispute between the two teams.
Thus far three games have been
played 'twixt Trojans and Pirates, and
the odd game-resulted in Chicago's IA
vor. For the coming combats the two
teams are about evenly matched. The
Cubs have their full strength on at
tack, but only one pitcher has shown
the ability to go the route consistent
~ under strong pressure. The Pr
ates have the pitchers, but lack the
strength possessed by the Cubs, other
things being equal. They miss Hans

WILLIAMS SWATS
SOx TO DEFEAT, 81
Brown Recruit Upsets Lo-
Gals With Three Triples,
Scoring All Runs.

Gus Williams, a raw right fielder
with aspirations for fame. batted his
way into the public eye yesterday at
Comiskey park by gaining a victory
almost single handed for the st. Louis
Browns over the White Sox. The score
was to l and Gus drove in two of
the three runs and scored the other
one himself
Until yesterday Williams wasn't
known even we'll enough for the fans
to call him by his first name Now ev-
erybody in town knows him. for he
displayed a Ty Cobb brand OF batting
that broke down the defense of the
White Sox and brought a decisive vic
tory to the Stovall crowd.
The prowess of the young athlete in
figures shows that he made three
triples in four times at bat One of
the triples was wasted. for nothing re-
suited from 1t. but the other two
wrecked the hopes OF the south side
team for a victory. His first triple
came in the fourth inning when no
one was on the bases and 1t was a
slash to the left field corner, Gus being
left-handed hitter.

Kill BANE IS BOXING
IN DAZZLING FORM
FOR DUNDEE BATTLE
Next Tuesday Champion
Makes First Real De-
Tense of Title.

Los Angeles, April 25-Followers of
the boxing game hereabouts are about
evenly divided in their opinions as to
the identity of the winner of the
featherweight championship tilt next
Tuesday night at Vernon between
Johnny Kilbane and Johnny Dundee.
but the men who handle commissions
for the speculatively inclined report
that the champion has been installed
10 to favorite, and that there is very
little "six" money in sight. :.
A canvass Of the Riaito shows that
both boys have strong followings
among the betting and betting
fans. and it is bit surprising that at
such good odds there is no Dundee
money in sight. II Is probable. how
ever that the Italians hackers believe
the odds will lengthen 70 to l. They
will get IL. but may have to wait until
ringside, 10 to seems to be the
final word from the Kilbane hackers.
Kilbane is in strict training and Is
rapidly getting into dazzling form. AS
this is the first actual defense he has
made of his title since winning it here
fourteen months ago. the Cleveland
boy expects to be right on edge and
ready TO show the best there is in him
on Tuesday night.
Dundee. too. is in prime condition.
With the exception that he is two
pounds overweight, the Italian is
ready to go into the ring today. Scotty
Monteith. his manager. is preparing
him in careful manner to prevent any
possibility of him going stale. Work
one day and rest the other is now the
program. Dundee appears to be
stronger than the champion and has
the better punch, but Kilbane expects
to offset this with superior speed and
cleverness.
