Athletic Director of Cnlvenlty of
North Carolina ts Going After the
Sprinting Title.
Th following article lent from
Raleigh to, , newspaper throughout
the country la of interest locally on
account of Mr. Cartmell, the princi
pal, being a former Ashevillelan, and
having several relative and num
ber of friends here:
"Nat J. Cartmell, athletlo trainer
of the University of North Carolina,
and erstwhile champion ahort dis
tance runner of the world, has again
taken up the cudgel and has chal
lenged the (present possessor of the
title, Jack Donaldson, of Australia.
A message received In Raleigh bears
the Information that Cartmell 1 now
in training In Portbello, a seaside re
sort near Edinburgh, Scotland, for
the forthcoming race to contest the
world's sprint championship.
"The challenge to Donaldson,, the
Australian sprinter, has been accept
ed, providing for three races at dis
tances of ISO. 220 and 440 yards, the
winning of two to decide the world's
championship. The conditions of the
contest further provide that the two
shall run at other distances, after
wards to be decided upon.
"The challenge Issued by Nat Cart
mell, as appearing In the Sporting
Chronicle cf England, runs as fol
lows! " 'In view of the fact that Donald
son does not seem to look with favor
upon the Idea of allowing the win
ning of two out of a series of three
matches over distances of 130, 220
and 440 yards to decide the world's
sprint championship, yet seems will
ing to run a match over any one of
the three distances for 100 pounds,
1 wish to announce that I am pre
pared to- back myself in a race over
440 yards for from 60 to 100 pounds,
the contest to decide the quarter
mile championship. The match can
be run in England, Scotland or
Wales, but each runner is to have his
course stringed oft, and the track
must not be less than a quarter of a
mile, all of which must be cinder
footing. Tours, etc.,
(Signed) ' 'NAT J. CARTMELL.
, "In addition to the news that Cart
mell, a native of North Carolina, and
athletic director of the University of
North Carolina, will engage In the
leading race event of the year on the
two continents, is the information
that Early V. Patterson, a mil run
ner of the University of North Caro
lina, will engage in the Olympic race.
He is the only American distance
runner entered in the contests this
year.
'Tatterson Is the fastest mile clip
per possibly ever to attend Carolina,
and in a contest on the home grounds
in 1912 broke a southern record. He
la an ardent disciple of Nat Cartmell.
and is 'following with success in his
footsteps.
"Early Patterson's home ts In Bur
lington, Alamance county, and he has
been a student at the university for
the past five years."

NEW YORK. July !0. Individuals
mora than clubs, figured as point of
salient interest In the baiebull history
of last week. The nhamte In the man
agement of the world cham plena,
the Cobb suspension, ih return vf 15d
Walsh to the game, to ad rent of the
latest "highest priced" ball player In
Larry Chappelle, the trouble over the
Hat Chase deal and the flstl'j bout on
the St. Lowla bench at a game bo
tween the Giants and Cardinal in New
York, such development wer3 suffi
cient to keep th enthusiast frjm de
voting all their attention to th prog,
res of the league races.
Up and Down.
The games from day to day brought
their usual development in the way
of up and down for various clubs,
the "ups" coming chiefly the way of
the Pittsburgh' in the National and
the Washington' In the American,
while prominent In the "down" list
were St. Louis In th National and
Philadelphia, Cleveland and Boston
In the American.
Perhaps the slump of the Mackmen
was the most prominent outstanding
feature in the Amertoan league rao.
The former world' champion d ro
ped six out of ten games. That their
lead was not reduced to any notable
extent was due to (he fact that Cleve
land lost almost as many games a
the first place occupants. While Plank
and Bender each pitched one good
game, the belief that weakness was
developing In the leader' twirling
start, was born out by th week'
happening.
Belief that th American league
race I an open one, might be preva
lent were there any club within pos
Ibis striking distance which had
shown form consistent enough to war
rant expectations of a steady pull to-
ward-fhe top. Likely bidders for hon
ors against the Mackmen, seem to be
Washington and Chicago, The Sena
tor played brilliant ball all week,
dropping only one contest out of six.
Walter Johnson Is reported as having
offered to pitch every other day after
September 1 If hi club appear to
have a look In.
White) Sox Improve.
The White Sox are showing im
provement Their inner defense Is
working smoothly, while the outfield
can hardly help being strengthened
by Chappelle who has shown enough
In the few games he ha played to
make Chicago fan enthusiastic over
him.
The deposition of JakeStahl In mid
season after the club under his man
agement had won a league pennant
and a world's series title was the sen
sation of the baseball week. The
change to Carrlgan apparently has
not affected the playing of the cluS.
Detroit braced considerably during
the week. Ht. Louis thrived off New
York, but fared poorly with Griffith'
men. The New Yorka split even.
Looking over the National league
situation, the efforts of Pittsburgh to
climb ts the notable feature. The
Pirates won all but one of their six
games during the week. Even at this
gait, however, they have gained little
on the Giants, who won six out of
elgnt games In six days. A slump by
the Giants with continued steady win
ning by the I'lrajes appears to be the
latter's solp hope.
Philadelphia ha shown Improve
ment, winning five out of seven game.
Chicago surrendered third place to
Pittsburgh during the week. The
Brooklyn's broke their losing strea
of ten gameit, Monday, but won only
one game since. Boston la keeping
up a fair pace. The best either St.
Louis or Cincinnati is able to do Is
to pick up an occasional victory. The
record in each league of game play
ed, won and lost, with runs, hits, er
rors, and men left on bases follows:

"Staff" Made Good Rcord While
Ilorv Latt Year, Pitching, Ultllng
and Fielding WelL
Thomas C. Btouoh, vice president
of th Asheville Baseball olub, has
purchased Tal Stafford from the Mid
dlesboro club of th Appalachian
league, and It is expected that "Staff"
will Join th team this afternoon for
It trip to Greensboro. At his own
request MoFarlin ha been released!
Th latter stated that he was unable
to find hi strkle and he asked Stouch
for a release several day ago, al
though h agreed to remain with the
Mountaineer, until another pitcher
could be found.
The new that Stafford Ii to be
come a member of the local pitching
staff will be learned . with Interest In
this city. He fgrmerly worked for
Asheville and went to Mlddlesboro
when that city took over Asheville'
franchise la, the Appalachian leagu.
He had a trood career a a member
of the Mountaineer and hi support
er her hoped that some arrange-
xnent could be made last fall which
would enable the local club to retain
possession of him. However, Mtd
dlesboro wns unwilling to allow Ashe
ville to have Stafford and the Ken-
tucktans have won some good game
this season with "Staff" looking after
their Interest In th box. j
The latest addition to th Moun
taineer' pitching staff was regarded
her last year a being an unusually
strong pitcher, not only because of
his ability to hurl, put because of bis
use of hhi head and the manner In
which he hit and fielded hi position.
He slugged creditably for th Moun
taineer and ha continued to hit
sine he ha been playing at Mtddles

The release of, McFarlln will not

During hi residence In Asheville he

A certain youth was about going

HI mother maid: "Now don't forget
your manners, James; be fair to say
something complimentary when th

so. When butter was served he re
marked pleasantly.
"This la pretty rood butter, what

The remark was not well received;
he saw that he bad mad a mistake,
and he endeavored to correct It by

Th addition of Stafford to th

men who are backing th Noojlners
are confident that th Asheville crew
will create a raft of troubl during
