Both Are Confident of Victory
E EXT Tuesday night, at the Orpheum Theater, Jesse Willard, the
N 250-pound heavywelght who claims the white championship of
the world, meets George “'Boer” Rodel, champion of All-Europe,
in a ten-round contest. The men have met twice, each holding a vie
tory. This figures to he the greatest scrap ever held in Atlanta, and
the winner will battle Gunboat Smith here during Shriners’ week. Tick
ets for this contest go on sale this afternoon. Following is a statement
from each boxer:
BY GEORGE (BOER) RODEL.
That big stiff landed a haymaker, a most lucky one, In our second
mill, | had Willard reelin§ all over the ring llke a drunken man when
he pulled a right from the floor. | made a mistake of stepping away to
avoid it instead of stepping Inside of it. As a result of not stepping back
quite far enough he clipped me on the chin.
My plan of battie next Tuesdy night is to outpoint Willard for
about seven rounds, prime him for the old sleep producer and then shoot
- over the hardest right on his jaw that was ever landed.
' Promoter Castro has promised to give the winner Gunboat Smith dur.
tng the Shriners’ week. Well, just go place all you've got that | will be
the man who will mingle with the champlon in May.
BY JESSE WILLARD.
| know that the Boer will give me a heap of trouble in the early
rounds. | have boxed him twice, and | realize that he can travel as fast
®s a lightweight for four or flve rounds. But | don't intend to box him like
I did In our first affalr, when he earned a ten-round decision.
Instead, | will go in and slug with him, as | did In our second battle.
§ stopped him in nine rounds when | mixed it with him,
| want all my friends to get down a good big bet on me. And Just
Place a few dollars that | win over the K. O. route, too.

THY. ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
SPORTING COMMENT
HERE is such a thing as an
I athlete having so much
money that he loses all am
bition for further conquest, We
harken back to the time that the
famous old (‘ub baseball machine
was beginning to slip a cog hith
er and yvon and everybody was
searching for a reason. One
bright manager, who had studied
the case on a basis of past ex
perience, sxized it up tersely and
much to the point with the sim
ple statement that the members
of the team had Tteceived too
miuch money in the past, had wax
ed opulent for several years, and
as a result they became meantally
unable to stick to their task of
training well and plaving with
their whole hearts. “Too muech
brain waork put in on their in
vestments,” this wise one sajd,
- » -
I ATER the world-conquering
< Athletics slumped in much
the same manner. and again this
season was assigned for the hor
rible slump. HKven the mighty
Connie Mack, scheme as he would,
couldn’t get the minds of his men
on baseball more than part of the
time. And it is a well-known fact
in all branches of athletics,
whether haseball, fighting, wres
tling, rowing, running or what
else, that the athiete must live
his game, eat it, sleep it, dream
it, to do his very best.
. - -
THE boxing game brings out an
exception or two to this rule
now and then, and the whole
thing was suggested to us by a
hit of philosophical talk handed
to us by Joe Mandot, Southern
lightwelght champion, a bright
voung man, who has his own
method of reasoning out things,
- - »
Hl WONDER how many fighters
really like this game,” Joe ra
minated. “Now, for me, If I had
$50.000 yvou couldn’t finduce me to
put on a boxing glove again. 1T
have a comfortable bank roll, as
fighters' bank rolls go at the pres
ent time, but [ don't fizure 1 have
enough to carry me through., Nat
urally, 1 won't guit now when 1
have a chance of getting more,
But {t's a fact that the possession
of money takes a 4 man's mind off
athleti¢c work, Mind vou, 1 don’t
put myself in that class just vet,
for I haven't lost my ambition to
do things in the ring. But at the
siune time [ know if 1 had more
money 1 would soonr hate the
game thoroughly and never take
part in any more ring battles. 1

like to box bhecause there is a
certain fascination about the
spotlight, but money makes a big
difference to a man's feelings.”
- . .
AD WOLGAST is one of the
fiehters who is a startling
exception to the rule that money
makes an athlete lose ambition.
From the looks of things, the
C‘adillac German’s income the
current vear will be mlighty close
to $lOO,OOO, and he is keeping on
going at a fast cllp, seeking
matches wherever he can get
them. Yet even Ad admits that
the possession of money is a
great hindrance to a real “ca
reer.”
- . .
“DO | feel that way about it?
Sure 1 do,” he said in an
swer to a query the other day.
“Say, if 1. was broke I'd he cham
pion of the world to-day. because
I'd tear into these fellows like a
four-eleven alarm of fire and nev -
er would stop. As it i 8 now, there
fs a feeling way down deep that
the future is assured no matter
what ha~»ens In the ring, and
when I tire I just naturally rest
up a bit. If I was broke, I never
would get tired, see?”
* . -
"I"HAT'S a unique way of putting
{t. surely, but it looks as if
there was a whoele lot in what
Wolgast says.
- - .
/\DMITTING that a whole lot of
4 the enthusiasm displayed by
the haseball fans over the several
openings of the Federal League
season (as heent he real thing and
that the new league couldn’t have
had a better inaugural than in
RBaltimore, (‘hicago, St. T.ouis and
perhaps Kansas Clty, it is hardly
fair to judge the coming season
by a comparison at this time of
the gate receipts where the Feds
have clashed with organized base
ball,
- - -
THE Feds naturally will get
much the better of the early
arguments bhecause {t is pretty
much of a case of the new broom
sweeping clean, There has heen a
lot of dissatisfaction with O, B. In
different spots, and there the Féeds
are apt to the do their best. But
it will take at least half a sea
son to tell the real story. The
Feds' prospects of success, we
sti!l maintain, rest sclely upon
the way their league balances. If
two or three of the teams play
great ball and the others don't, it
will be a sad story.

Wednesday To Be “Anson Day”
Atlanta Fandom to Honor “Pop”
By O. B. Keeler.
| EXT Wednesday afternoon, at
N Ponce Del.eon ball park, the
Atlanta fans will view an Add
ed Attraction along with the sceduled
contest between the Crackers and the
‘Memphis turties.
~ Wednesday is to be Anson Day.
. And Adrian Constantine Anson—
“ Pop” Anson, if you please--is to be
the important figure that will walk
‘out in the sunlight, the cynosure of
all optics; and take up a bulky and
,smtuosque pose on the slab; and raise
his hat and bow; and take a brand
in@w and entirely virgin baseball from
| the umps; and hurl it at Joe Dunn—
' yvou know the stuff.
" Only “Pop" probably will hit Mr.
'Dunn with more accuracy and horse
power than usually is applied hyl
' Mayors and (GGovernors and Congress
men performing similar duties
! * * -
;I ATER on, we are going to divulge
4+ to our kind readers (and other
' wise) a little story that will tip them
off as to what kind of man this
lfamnus “Pop” Anson really is. It's
a story that hasn't been told in a
| good many vyears; we recall it as a
hold-over from the old days of the
twelve-club Natlonal League. And
it's a dinger, if we de say it ourself,
which shouldn’t.
. . .
THE Atlanta Baseball Association,
hearing that Cap Anson was to |
ornament the FKorsyth Theater the
coming week, took a notion to sprpar]!
the brave old hoy before the Atlanta
populace, I
“There's no telling how much our
national game owes to A. C. Anson.”
isaid Major Callaway. president of the
Crackers. “He's one of the big figures
l\&'hn couldn’t be cramped into a mere
niche in the bhaseball hall of fame.
He'd have to he placed in the main
rotunda, where something like his full
stature could be shown.”
. That would be pretty large, too, if
lonly Cap Anson's physical prnpor-i
tions should govern his atmospherie
displacement in the H. of F Thel
celebrated veteran {8 six feet two
inches longitudinally, and broad in
‘prupnrt:un; broader in proportion, if
anything. He weighs 250 pounds, and
]it is all man. It {s our earnest wish
| that in addition to pitching the first
‘hull of the Wednesday game, the
| captain could be Induced to pick mxt[
1(11&4 biggest and heftiest bat in R:Il'
| Smith's collection, and stand up to the
plate, and let Frank Browning, nr[
Ed Dent, or---no, it would better be |
a Memphis pitcher—wheel him up a
fast one.
. . .
Q\VI{I"'II brings on some small talk
about the Batting Eye.
On the recent visit of the Cleve
land ball club here, Jack Knight was
gossiping about Famous Batsmen He
Had Known
“It's kind of hard to explain,” said
Jack. “That faculty for landing
squarely on a pitched ball seems to
be born in a man, and it sticks with

American Association. Joe oollected
a lot of fossils who couldn't run or

he was the greatest of all. No grand

nothing else to do.
