ACOSTA SOLD
TO ATLANTA
Cuban Outfielder Sent to
Atlanta by the Old
Fox.

Manager Griffith has sent the Cuban
Hattielder Acosta, returned by the
E2ltimore International League club,
% the Atlanta club. of the Southern
League.
Merito Acosta has been sent to the
Crackers under an optional agreement
SO he can be recalled any time the
pilot of the Nationals finds that he
Heeds an outfielder.
Acosta had n good season in Balti-
more last yeai and it was thought the
Old Fox would use the little Cuban I'm
the sun field this year with the Ma
tionals. The Cuban was well up in
the batting list of the international
League and was a hard man to pitch
to on account of his height, being one
of the best lead-off men in the cir
cult. Merito received many passes to
the first station as 1t was hard for
pitchers to get them over for him.

Baltimore. Nd, March Irwin
Silent Martin, the New York mid
dle-weight, on the scene Of ac-
tion, everything Is in readiness for
tomorrow nights big bout between
him and Tom Gibbons before the.
Pickwick Athletic Club. at Al

ager of Martin, is with him, as is
a so-caIled adviser who is always
in Martins corner at a hghI A
the fans know. the New York
middle-weight is deaf and dumb.
which accounts for his nickname
Of Silent" His adviser. while
not a mute, has made a study Of the
sign language, and Il is he who i'm
parts to the boxer what Manager
Sihberns may think is the proper
line OF attack and defense.
Martins manager reports his MAI
in the best of shape, and the New
York scrapper looks the part. II
Martin is not a winner tomorrow
night Manager Sibberns says he will
be a greatly surprised person. lie
points out the wonderful record Of
his man. who has met such men as
Jack Britton, Gus Christie, Al Nc
Coy and Mike O'Dowd.
Manager Sibberns was somewhat
peeved at reading in a local paper
some reference to Martin as a trial
horse. He says he cannot see how
that is figured out. and that II
Gibbons will stand up and fight the
fans will probably see the greatest
middle-weight contest ever held
here. Martin has tried to break in
here a number Of times. but local
promoters never would take him on.
Now that he is booked, he made IL
evident he is going TO give moth
ing but the very best he can. lie
had read where Gibbons is talking
about going after Dempsey. and
wrote out that Tom will forget all
about Dempsey after tomorrow
nights go.
Tomorrow will also mark the first
appearance OF Gi6Sghs in a contest
here. His showing against Georue
Chip last Thursday night made
il evident that the st. Paul middle
weight is at the top Of his form
and some great going should be eN-
peCted. Owing to the fact that
Gibbons has another very hard fight
on next week in PittsbUrRh-that
with Harry Greb-he requested that
tomorrow's 90 be cut TO twelve
rounds. After a conference Of the
managers with the matchmaker OF
the Pickwick Club the change was
made.
