r " THEY’RE OFF AGAIN AT PIEDMONT
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
Ha* it ever struck you that Tech lias a pretty classy ball
team this year, iii spite of the dearth of good material at the
start.
The bunch leaves Wednesday night for Nashville to tackle
Vanderbilt and unless the unexpected happens they will take
down a couple of games at least.
Here is the Tech record to date: ,
April 3-^-at Athens—Tech bent University of Georgia 2 to 1.
Lafitte allowed 3" hits and Tech mnde 4 errors.
April 'S—at Atlanta—Tech bent Cleinson 4 to 2. Brooks al
lowed 4 hits and Tech made 4 errors.
April 6—at Atlanta—Tech tied Clemson 2 to 2. Lafitte al
lowed 1 hit and Tech mnde 2 errors.
April 12—at Macon—Tech lost to Mercer ti to 4. Brooks al
lowed 14 hits and Tech made 6 errors.
April 13—at Macon—Tech beat Mercer 1 to 0 iu 12 innings.
Lafitte Allowed 3 hits. Tech made 1 error.'
April 19—at Atlanta—Sewanee bent Tech 6 to 8. Brooks
and Barker allowed 9 hits. Tech made <! errors.
April 20—at Atlanta: Hirst game—Tech bent Sewanee5 to 2.
Lafitte and Robert allowed Splits and Tech made 5 errors.
April 20—second game—T*ch beat Sewanee 7 to 4. Lafitte
and Davenport allowed 5 hits. Tech made 7 errors.
It «ill lie noted that Tech has lost only two games and
that she has tied one. The rest have been victories.
Lafitte is easily the star of • the team and will presumably
make the AU-S. I. A. A. team this spring in a walk. In the three
games which Lafitte pitched out he allowed n total of 7 hits—an
average of just a fraction over 2 hits to the game.
Little Rock and Shreveport are now engaged in a war of
words over the question of which has the larger attendance.
There was no fight on this point last year ill those cities,
because, alas, there wns no attendance.
Suckers must have been arriving two to the minute lately,
for we see they are advertising correspondence schools of linse-
ball. And somebody must lie "falling for it” or the advertising
would cease.
There is about as much chance of learning baseball by cor
respondence school route as there is of learning calculus from
a dictionary.

PLANS ALL MADE FOR ATLANTA'S
SOUTHERN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
The tournament committee of the
Southern 061 f Association met in At
lanta Tueaday night and mapped out
the program for the coming cham-
plonehlp over the Eaat Lake course—
which will be held June S to 8, and not
4 tb 8. as previously announced.
The members of the committee pres
ent were F. O. Bryd. of Atlanta, chair
man: D. M. Ooodwyn, president of the
Louisville Ootf Club, and H. F. Smith,
president of the Syuthem Golf Asso
ciation, who Is an ex-offlelo member
of the committee.
Only two Important changes were
made over the plan of past tourna
ments and that was In qualifying four
divisions Instead of three and In pro
viding for events for the "defeated
eights" In the flrst rounds for the four
cupe. •
The tournament will start Wednes
day. June 5. with an eighteen-hole
qualifying round. The entire day will
be devoted • to this event and In con
sequence there will be no crowding or
before-sunrise starts. A gold medal
will be given to the player making the
lowest score In this round.
A team match will be run In con
nection with the qualifying round. The
scores of the four lowest men from
each club w*lll be taken and the lowest
aggregate wins the team championship.
It Is probable that one large trophy
Will be offered: though last year there
were four trophies, one for each mem
ber of the team.
The lowest slxten golfers will qualify
for the championship cup, the next
sixteen for the Dixie cup. the third
sixteen for the Gate City cup and the
fourth sixteen for the Kennesaw cup.
On fhe morning of Thursday, June ti.
the first match round will be plnyed.
The winners will meet again In the
afternoon for the four cups and the
losers will be paired off and play for
the championship, Jr.; the Dixie, Jr.;
the Gate City, Jr.; and the Kennesaw,
Jr., cups.
This Idea of "Junior cups” Is de
signed to Interest the golfers who play
well enough to get In one of the four
divisions but whp are beaten In the first
round—as often happens to the best
of player*. In previous tournaments
there has been no way to Interest them
players until the handicap event *u
pulled off but the "Juniors" will give
the flrst round losers another chance.
On Friday morning, June 7, the semi-
finals will be played and In the after
noon the 8. G. A’». one-handicap will
be pulled- off. The handicapping will
be dene by the tournament committee
which will meet for that purpose the
previous night. Players will be handi
capped on their known ability ami on
their showing In the tournament.
A flrst and second net score pnte
will be offered and probably a belt
gross score prise, as well. This han
dicap event will be rnn over Into
Saturday morning, and will not hi
<>l>en, by the way. to finalists In any
event. •
On Saturday afternoon, June >, tj»
final rounds will be played for the
four tnsln cupe and the four Junior
cups. There will be prises for the
four runners-up In the main events.
U. H. Baugh, secretary of the asso
ciation, will serve as the fourth mem
ber of thee.tournament committee in
stead of George Oliver, of Birmingham,
as was previously announced.

CRACKERS WIN
FINAL BATTLE
Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery’. Ala.. April 24.—For the
flrst time this season Bob Spade, the
ex-Macon pitcher, was at his best,
and he had no trouble In shutting out
the Montgomery team. In the mean
time his teammates and himself were
piling up 8 runs and the affair was a
cinch.
Walker, who had proved a puxxler
on previous occasions, pitched for the
Pretzels, but he was easy for once, anij
all the Crackers salted away hits. The
Georgia team was Adding perfectly and
got away with some wonder* In the
Atlanta.
