WH»TING~] 7 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. GEORGIAN’S CITY LEAGUE MEETS WEDNESDAY NIGHT The Georgian's City League will meet In Tile Georgian office Wed nesday night. As the constitution will be adopted at that time, the session will lie an important one, and a full representation Is expected. ATLANTA TEAM HOME; PLAYSDOBBERSTODAY The Atlanta team blew Into Atlanta about midnight, feeling tired but pretty chipper after the sting they handed Montgomery In the closing game.

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.

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.

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. ab. r. h. po. a* e. Winter*, of.. . .
