It would seem that the Georgia nectarine underrates "his prom. Inmce; that his disappointment at hav ing failed to wrn sufficient fame on the diamond has promp'ed him to pick on butchers and other Inoffensive persona In his determination to get his name In the paper. At least a glance af his record of fiBticuffs and heated alter cations would lead one to believe that Is the way he feels about It. More than once since he began star ring In American league circles has Ty lost his temper la a dispute and poked some one on the nose. Though there are few knockouts In it. Ty Is able to show a list of battles that might rival his battrng average. In quite a few of i iiis fights the police stepped In, which is a good sign, as it shows that there was some real lively milling. Only once, though, was the decision against hlra and that was when he made an effort to carry out his threat and pound the tar out of Charlie Schmidt at Mont gomery. Schmidt formerly caught for the Tigers. On this occasio-n Charlie put a crimp In Ty's batting average by severely bruising Cobb's eyes. Ty couldn't make the ball out distinctly for several days. No one would find fault with Cobb If he could confine his attacks to hotel clerks, butchers and the like. Hotel clerks are commonly thought to be de serving of aa occasional wallop on the beezer owing no little to their manner. Butchers, too, ar perfectly good ad versaries for Ty because anyone who pretends to be a real scrappv person I must have a fight at some time or an other with a butcher. The most unfortunate feature of Ty's belligerency Is that It makes him a mark for the fans. For quite a while after each of his encounters he has taken part in the fans have shown a determination not to let him forget it. Some of the wittier ones shout clever taunts at him. such as, "Why don't you soak him one for me?" This, of course, has never mellowed Ty's disposition. Ty would much rather drop the matter rnd not discuss It right out that way in front of every body. He also declared at the time of this latest fracas that if they put a piece in the paper about it he'd jump to the Feds. Not that we want to rasp him further, but here's calling your bluff, Ty.

The crop of lem ons is picking up, at least this was the idea gathered by American sporting authorities here following the 20-routid battle Saturday between Frank Moran, fallen Idol, and Jack Johnson, negro champion. It looks like a good year for the jnegro, and he was found at his training quarters singing, "This is the Life." He was picking out "sort" bouts which were offered him by the Bcore. After Johnson Jisd looked them all over he picked out a telegram offer ing him $30,000. win, lose or draw, to meet Sam Langford.- in the middle of October In Parts, and decided this was the softest thing in sight, In addition he will be given 50 per cent of the THREE-EYE LEAGUE.
