MERCER TOUTS HUGHES

Griffith Has a Pitching Problem, But He Will
Solve it With Orth, Clarkson, Hogg,

day Griff railed each of his pitchers to
the slab and stood behind them watch
ing every movement.
The Chase Mystery.
Should Chase adhere to his determi
nation not to report, the Infleld prob
lem would worry Griff, but the general
opinion among the players seems to he
that Harold will soon be here and the
manager shares In this.
"I look for Chase to run In about
two weeks from now," said one of the
players today. “Ha has been playing
ball all winter and must be In great
condition. By the time the rest of us
have Ironed out the kinks and knuckled
down to hard work, Chase will com*
along.
•There's another angle to the case."
continued thla player. "Tou see, Chase
has been playing two or three times a
week and getting good money for It.
He probably doesn't like the Idea of
giving up this easy money to work a
month down here for nothing. We
don't draw any salaries until April 11.
iu know."
And that explanation lust about fits
the situation. There Is no doubt but
that satisfactory terms will be offered
to Chase as soon as Griff gets a chance
to talk to him. For the present George
Uoriarlty Is the team's ft rat-baseman.
Frank Delehanty Is still to be heard
_ om. Orlff Is Inclined to scold Del
when he does appear. Should the
Cleveland boy hold out for his original
demands. Griff may pick up Riggs, the
former outfielder of the Athletics.
Riggs Is a beefy fellow, who can slug i
the ball for keep*. He looks very good ■
to Griff and he would like to get a trial
New York. The Yankee players
spesk highly of him.

Billy Smith's worries are not all over
yet. Wallace, Paskert and Spade have
not signed.
Wallace has reported, Paskert will
report, but Spade?—well, there Is doubt
about It.
It's the old complaint—"holdoutltls"
ns the New Yorkers rnll It. "We want
more money," Is the cry. Wallace Is
not so particular about the money.
What he especially wanted was his re
lease. As he couldn't get that, he has
come down to play.
Billy Smith Is certain that Paskert
and he will come to terms all right. But
he Is worried about Spade. “I don't
know whether he will report or not," he
said yesterday. "We can’t come to
terms."
The team has been counting on
Spade, but of course Smith can get
along without him If It becomes neces
sary. There has always been a doubt
as to whether or not the Macon pitcher
would mako good.
Atlanta's ball players will be piling
In fast from all points Saturday and
practice begins Monday.
, Several of Billy Smith's ball players
will not report Sunday, however. None
of the men who are serving as college
coaches will report until April 1.
The coaches are Otto Jordon, who I,
at Mllledgevllle: James Fox, who Is
training the Furman team at Green
ville. S. C„ and George Winters, who
holds forth at the Presbyterian Col
lege at Clinton, S. C. These men have
been ordered back In time to give them
seven days of actual practice before
the season opens.
Their absence will cripple the'Atlanta
team for exhibition games, but as the
three men are certain of places and as
they will be getting Into trim with the
college teams which they train. Smith
thinks that their temporary absence
will do no particular harm.
Even without these men. Smith will
have three catchers, four Inllelders,
three outfielders and seven or eight
pitchers. - -* ■ ...
Neal Boll, the man who Is counted
on to All Morse’s place at shortstop,
was out to watch practice Friday after
noon. He Is a man of good physique
and seems to be the ball player which
he has been advertised as.
Regular practice for Smith's team
will begin Monday. Billy has not col
laborated >'et with Clark Griffith as to a
time table, but he thinks that the
Crackers will work from ( to 10:10 and
from 2 to 1:30 every day.
Rube Zeller has written that, he
will report Sunday.
BERN1E M’CAY WRITES OF PROSPECTS
FOR GREAT SEASON IN COTTON STATES
By BERNIE M’CAY.
i NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
ByFZKO? H. WHITIHO.
Crackers reporting today. Last of the fiVst installment in
tomorrow. First Atlanta praotlee Monday. First exhibition
game Friday!
Gness things are not warming np some, yes I
Harley and Wallace both look like the genuine goods
right now. Both have apparently kept in the best possible con
dition all the winter and certainly both have reported in tip
top shape.
Walla'
polo all winter and
ice has been playing roller
has kept right down to weight.
It wouldn’t take much to transform Wallace from what
he was to one of the very best outfielders in the league. He
is the original “fielding phenom." If he would only stand up
and clout the hall ns he is capable of doing, he would be as
good as any man’s outfielder.
Maybe this is Iloh's year. Here’s hoping.
Harley warmed up in good style Friday afternoon and
doubtless Dirk is going to he the works again. He is a good,
reliable pitcher, always has the team behind him,.and is there
with everything that makes a hall player.
Diek had the distinction last year of being the next to the
poorest hatter in the league, but he won more than half of the
games in which he pitehed and he fielded hotter than any pitch
er in the league who took part in as many as twenty-five games.
Birmingham is going to do thnt pennant raising thing
strong. At no time during the history of the lengue has any
team made such preparations for an opening day. Everything
from the opening address by the mayor to the closing address
by President Kavanaugh has been planned. It's all over now
but the waiting.
Atlanta will play an humble part in the preliminary festivi
ties on that gala clay. Whether the Crackers will be content to stay
in the background during the concluding exercises—to wit, the
ball game part of it—remains to be seen. We hope not.
Everybody hands it to Atlanta on the proposition of having
the fastest infield of any tenm in the lengue. Tom Fisher says
r that Memphis has the fastest outfield. The pennant Inst year,
however, went To the team which had the best pitching staff.
Wonder who has the best twirlers this year.

This season Tarlelon. Laird and

Moore, Prout and Wagner havo been

Every year the managers of clubs In
higher classified leagues are paying
more attention to the Cotton States,
and this year will probably see more
good men developed than ever before.
How Teams 8tack Up.
Gulfport Is going to njako a strong
bid for the pennant this year, as is evi
denced by their securing Bobby Oltks,
of Shreveport, as their manager. Gtlka
can always be relied on to put In a
good team wherever ha Is, and he is
certainly getting some fast ones for
his Gulfport team. He has Tom Bird,
from Little Rock: Chick Cargo, from
New Orleans; Manush, of Memphis, al
ready signed. In addition to the hold
overs from last season's team. It Is
said that he will play first base him
self.
Jackson looks pretty strong and so
does Meridian. Vicksburg will line up
26 per cent better than last year, and It
Blackburn can repeat his perform one*

own the town of Vicksburg.
Franohis* Transferred.
Owing to the failure of the owners
to secure a suitable park sits, the Hat.
tlesburg franchise was transferred to
Columbus, Mississippi, and while the
new town Is not so well located geo
graphically, the chances are It will be
u better ball ground than Hattiesburg
ever dared to be. Columbus Is (( miles
north of Meridian, which makes this
season's mileage a little greater, but
the people behind the club are all
moneyed men and can be depended on
to see the venture through to the finish.
They say the place Is red hot for base
ball nnd a good team should receive
hearty support from the fans. Jack
Ijvw will manage the team and will
lake the players already signed with
Hattiesburg. He has not given out any
names of the players signed yet, so It is
Impossible to get a line on what kind
of a team Columbus will have.
Four of my men are alreaidy here and
by the first of next week we will start
regular practice. ..Creed Bat**, who was
some years .In the American Associa
tion, has been signed for first base, and
he, with Welch, Puckett and Thornton,
comprise the roster of local players
already here.
Mobil* Is Ambitious.
Mobile la craxy for Southern League
ball and another season may see this
city a member of that league. The at
tendance here last season warrants
the assumption that the town can east
ly support a Southern League team,
and Its acquisition would make a much
more compact circuit In the Southern.
Talk about your fine spring weather!
Well, last 8unday It was so Warm out
at Springhlll, where I went to see a
game of ball, that I was forced to get
Into the shade for protection from the
sun. Ed Lauson. who caught for At
lanta acme years ago, waa playing first
base for the team from Mobile, and
seemed full of ginger. He certainly Is
far from a back number and can sling
the ball as hard as any of them. He
caught a fast on* on the end of bis bat
and It started for left field like a rifle
shot. It looked to be good for three
bags, but the left fleldsr pulled It down,
and then the antics Ed rut up were a
sight to behold. It seemed a shame to
rob him so early In the season, but bet
ter luck may befall him after the sea
son opens.
Charlie Frits la working out every
day and he certainly has got speed to
burn thla year. I look for him to have
a good season with Shreveport this
year. He always has been a hard-luck
pitcher, but luck Is due to turn his
way some lime and when It does he will
make things hum.
By this time next week all the teams
will have reported and the season will
be on In earnest.

A CORRECTOR CORRECTED.
In a communication to The Georgian
a man w ho signed himself ’•Tech” stat
ed the other day that The Georgian
said that the 1905 Tech-Clomson game
resulted In a tie and that the statement
was Incorrect, for Tech won 17 to 10.
If The Georgian had said that the
game of 1905 was a tie it would have
been Incorrect. But It didn’t.
This correction of a correction Is
somewhat belated, but anyway what
The Georgian sold was:
“Last season Clemson was victorious,
the year before Tech; and the year be
fore that it was a tie, 11 to 11.”
Thla statement was quite correct.
Clemson won last season—to-wlt. In
1909. the “year before that” would
naturally mean 1905, and as we said
and as ’Tech’’ said, the local college
team won.
Ho It seems that there waa bo error
after aU.
BROCKETT, OF CARMI,
IS GENUINE ARTICLE
Semi-Imaginary Sketch of Louis’ Life, by
Bulger, With Incidents That Never
Happened.
By BOZEMAN BULGER, of Ths New York Evsnlna World.
Mr. Brocket!, of Carml. III., would
never buy a gold brick or fall for the
old strep gag on Broadway. Out there
In his burg some of the populace may
havd to bathe like a canary—-In p. bowl;
but Louis, ths elder of the house of
Brockett, knows his way around with
out a guide, and gels the tub and
shower where others fall down. This
dapper young man drifted Into the
Aragon Hotel, walked up to tho counter
and affixed his signature to the register
In ((-point Italics.
"Give me the best room In the house
with bath,” he casually remarked to the
clerk, as he carelessly turned around
to Inspect the Interior decorations of
the lobby.
He waa Immediately fixed up In true
Willie Astor style. When hla baggage
had gone up lie calmly observed that
he was a member of the New York ball
club and the clerk was stung. As a
consequence thereof, for two days Mr.
Brockett will be enjoying the luxuries
of a lord until Griffith gets him around

aside for the ball players.

club was entitled to the best he saw

ided him on a silver platter.
Brockett a Beaut
That young man will do. He Is a
big strapping fellow, with a figure like
Apollo, Lave Cross, Pap Welkart or
some of those old fellows. Being a lit
tle jaded from hla Journey, Brockett
took little part In the day's proceedings,
except to show the Highlanders that he
could handle a nibble of tobacco with
as much dexterity as an old leaguer
who had been hitting .100 for ten years.
Shortly after the arrival of the gentle
man from Carml, Griffith called him
Into conference and his contract with
the New York team was signed In leas
time than It takes to mutilate a dollar
bill In Atlanta.
Brockett la not only a cracking good
pitcher, but can play any of the Infleld
positions and get away with It. Lost
season he played third base for Buffalo
for nearly a month and clipped the ban
at a .300 gait during bis period of

thereupon demanded a month's pay in

tho Job. Later he was turned over u
a ptlnor league.
Griff Gets Gay.
The entire club waa In much better
shape yesterday and was free enough
of soreness to begin regular practice
and running around the bases. They
walloped the ball at a great rate, but
Griffith was pitching. Don't Interpret
that as a knock. It might not be polite.
Griff had no Intention of going In at
all until he heard a local fan remark to
a friend ns he passed; 'That's n.rk
Griffith, who used to be a great pitch-
er.” The old wlaard thereupon got up
on hie high horse and not only proceed,
ed to twirl, but announced that h«
would pitch the first game ugulnsi At
lanta.
During the day Walter Clarkson cut
himself loose and waa the talk of the
town. He -was shooting balls Into Kiel,
now as If he had been at rifle practice
Griffith finally stopped him. but no;
until the 200 fans had got their monev'i
worth.
Clarkson, who Is naturally timid ud

during hla dinner. A bell boy came in
with a call for "Walter Clarkson.*

Amateur Teams Are Lining Up
In Georgian’s Three-Leagues
The proapects for three or four flrat-
claaa city leagues of various kinds In
Atlanta continue to Increase In bright
ness.
Work on ths organisation of tha reg
ular City league team, made up of
repreeentatlves of banks, Insurance
companies. South Broad street mer
chants, wall paperers and the rest, goes
steadily and quietly forward.
Baturday morning E. B. Adams, of
the Beck & Gregg team, called on the
sporting editor and applied for a fran
chise In the Commercial League. Work
on the organisation of this league will
be begun soon and In the meantime the
writer would be glad to hear from the
managers of last year's teams os to
whether or not they want to go Into
the Commercial league this year. The
Georgian has offered another pennant
and will secure It and place It on exhi
bition as soon as the organisation U
effected.
The Junior learns are lining up fait.
The latest addition Is the Boy.il Ben-

writes as follows:
