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 ry-. late of Albion.

The men were all tired and worn out from their long Journey, and Griffith made the work this morning very light. The run to and from the park w«s the hardest Job. But for a big lunch al this end It Is doubtful If many of the fellows, with the Icy chill* of New* York still In their bones, would get back.

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.
