A Josh for McGuire.
A crackling (found such as that which
emanates from the hoofs of nn
cow running down a lane awoke the
team this morning and they were as
sembled to receive the fatherly blessing
of Jame* McGuire, catcher extraordina

billy thing that annoys him Is the
cracking of lbs ankle bones when he

842 WHITEHALL STREET.
— Now-1 hut the New York team is here the next festive date
in the local Inns' calendar is the reporting of the (,’raekers March
10. And on the 1'ith comes the first gxhibitoin game.
Maybe there will he ii small game before then. Clark Grif
fith will have the milkings of about three teams when all his men
get together. And like as uofthey will do a few exhibition
stunts.
Tile rniversity of Georgia dynamites tile lid on Saturday
when they stack up against the Georgia alumni in the annual
game. This promises to lie- a rare old scrap and some good
hall will doubt less he played. This game will give the first line
on the Georgia team—an aggro gut ion which promises to he a
record breaker.
CLARK GRIFFITH.
Atlanta's young hall players are scattering around. McMil
lan has gone to Jacksonville. Ihoii is going to Gulfport, Woodward
will sign somewhere and Jim Lafitte i« likely to, for Billy Smith
has recommended him far and wide.
The good wishes of the Atlanta fans go with tlioee young
sters and it seems likely that they will all do well. Georgia has
turned out some great players in the past and the future is not
likely to be any less brilliant for the baseball products of Cracker-
land. •
Doubtless, now that the Highlanders are here for a month,
they will he ns popular during the comirig season with Atlanta
enthusiasts as the Cleveland team has been in years past.
Local fans will follow their light for the pennant with the.
deepest interest ami their sympathies will he with the Yankees.
Great chance for a fine line of talk about the “First Invasion
of Atlanta by the Yankees Since Sherman Left.’’ It'll he worked
all right. Newspaper writers nowadays don't overlook any bets.
PITCHERS
1
Apropos of the recent announcement that the local baseball
association would be glad to add Weldon Henley to its pitching
staff it is learned from semi-official sources which may be tak
en as positively reliable, that the Cracker Packer* would he glad
to secure “Three Fingered" Brown. It is suspected that they
could use Napoleon I.ajoie, of Cleveland and possibly Terry Tur
ner. It is rumored thnt the services of Nicholas Altrock would not
lie dispensed with if offered.
And yet. iflak, there is some doubt that these gentlemen will
play with Atlanta this season.
That salary limit is such an unfortunate tiling.
