KID YOUNG WILL
BOX TWO BOUTS
HERE IN 5 DAYS
Popular Atlanta Featherweight at
Staten's February 6 and at
McGee's February 10.

IT'D YOUNG. Atlanta's best
n featherweight. is to BOX two
bouts here in five days. on
February he will meet the best boy
that can be secured Cor him at Harry
Staten's CLUB, the bout being a semi
windup to the Hanlon- Cannon scrap.
On February 10 he will hook up with
some good opponent at the ail-star
professional amateur mixed bill that
Professor MCGEE will stage at the
Business Mems Gymnasium in the
Steiner Emory Building.
Young has always given sattsfac-
ton hereabouts, ii is probably that
Staten win secure Charley Lee or
Kid Goldman TO face Young. Lee
stopped Young in Atlanta year ago,
but Young reversed the order OF
things in Athens a few months back,
when Lee was knocked out. The
rubber" mill should prove wonder
full drawing card
The Kid has started training for
the busy campaign he expects TO go
through with, and promises to be at
his best for both bouts.

The st. Louis Federals having obtained

team with which to decorate IT, Then
the fans OF that poor settlement are
hoping that the outlaws have better luck

Fritz Maisel, the third sacker for the
Yankees, says that he signed with Far

him.

Crackers Might Take on Street
Would Fiji Chapman's Shoes

CABBY looked to us like the best
catcher in the Southern League
last season. The manner in which he
handled the big Pole showed that he
retained much Of the stamina that
kept him up under w. Johnson's fire.
Coveleskie is no spring chicken for
tenderness when it comes to delivery.
A good many fans unjustly and un-
wisely criticised Gabby's fancy style
of taking a pitched ball. especially
with men on bases They seemed to
think he was Showing off" AS a
matter of fact. that odd little flip OF
the mitt enables Gabby to absorb a
fast one with no particular jar to his
hands or position; and that bit of a
crow-hop puts him in position to peg
as he takes the pitch.
Gabby is a mighty stylish catcher.
especially in Glass A company.
A LSO. Gabby is a pretty fair hitter
and has a good head, which he
uses freely And he is a veteran of
much experience.
In fact, we don't get II. Harry's
idea in wanting to let Gabby GO That,
however, is entirely none of our biz.
Only, there can be no harm in ex-
pressing the wish that, IL Chapman
takes the long jump, b. Smith might
get Mr.. Street to fill his shoes.
That looks to us like good move.

that he could have corralled quite
a number of major league players
but for the wives of said players,
who objected to their husbands
taking a chance with the out
laws
Many a man is responsible for
his financial success in life To
his wife. II would seem that ball
players are no exception 10 the
rule.
DOUBTLESS many unthinkins
players would yield to the
Establishments of the promoters
and jump to the Feds" In a
minute If they were not re-
strained by their far-seeing
spouses. The female OF the base
ball species believes that a sure
thing in the way OF salary, as
long as the male Of the species is
able TO make good, is far better
than a little advance money and
a three-year contract with the
"Feds" a a slight advance over
what organized baseball offers
IT HE risk the player takes in
4 jumping TO the Feds is that
while he may get a bunch Of adj
vance money and he temporarily
benefited h is likely to be high
and dry on the baseball rocks be-
fore the season is fairly started
If the Federal League "busts'
the player Will, no doubt have to
go to law to collect on his con
tract, and OF course, while he is
hghting the case, he will draw no
money from baseball.
The major leagues will be
mighty slow ir allowing the
Jumpers TO return to organized
ball. The jumpers will not be
publicly blacklistedS but there
will probably be "gentleman's
agreement" by which all hands
will ignore the jumpers when they
desire to return to the fold.
THE Federals have had to put
the money IN IIle Ddnk SUD
ject to the order Of the players in
the cases of Tinker and Knabe
and maybe one or two other play
ers they have secured. hut the
rank and file OF ball players who
sign with the outlaws will have
nothing To fall back on except

DRETTY nearly at the same time
we hear of two things, as fol-
lows:
"a That Chapman has decided to
jump from Billy Smiths fold to the
Federal League.
90 That Moose Mccormick, up in
Chattanooga, wants to sell or trade
Gabby Street.
Granting that both these reports
are true, the whole business-or at
least Clause appears to be provi-
dental.
THERE'S no denying the Chapman
man matter looks pretty gloomy.
Bill Smith admits that il Chappy
means to play with the Crackers in
1914, he Is taking a funny way OF
showing it.
AS to Handsome Harry and his al
legged desire to swap, trade, sell or
otherwise dispose of G. Street. we
can't understand why he should have
to advertise this piece of property
very extensively without finding a
market.
Breaking it gently, we wouldn't
mind seeing Gabby in a Cracker uni
form next spring granting that

 ASTRANGLER" LEWIS
Famous Physician Proves Master of kentuckian iii Hard Battle-Lewis'
 Leg Injured

Locking an effective toe hold on Lewis at the end of one hour and 1lis minutes, Doc Roller last night compelled Ed Lewis, the Kentucky strangler. to yield after a gritty but intellectual attempt to break his way to freedom. The toe hold clamp ed on Lewis in tho first round was SO tight and the pain so intense that several fragments in the leg of the kentuelSian were strained and he had to be helped from the ring"
 Entering the ring in the second half with his leg in no better condition, Lewis made Il brave attempt to stay with his famous opponent. but without avail and at the end of one minute of wrestling Roller elamped a double toe hold on his opponent and he was forced to surrender. the pain being more than Lewis could stand.
 Lewis leg is in a bad condition. sev- eral fragments being badly strained
 From the opening gong both wrestlers went after each other in an aggressive manner and subsequent whirwind work made the match the fastest and most scientific one that has yet been staged by the Birmingham Athletic club
 Both Roller and Lewis battled cautious ly and with cat-lilSe swiftness, each talk ing advantage of every opening Lewis tried his famous neck yoke on the doo- tor. but with the exception of inflictins little pain did not do much damage. Roller did not resort to the toe until after 50 minutes of wrestling then he used it frequently but each time Lewis succeeded in breaking away until the final time.
