* I SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING I”
IMtMMtIHII
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
They say we can’t write an article over ten lines long with
out giving vent to slang.
So now look out for tis.
From a point a bit further down the page, where wo pro
pose to insert a colon, we shall endeavor, with the aid of Web
ster’s Somewhat Abridged. F. A. Marsh, LL.D.’s Thesarus, the
World’s Almanac, Spalding’s Officiaf Guide and The Police Ga
zette’s Annual, to write an article which shall be so totally de
void of slang that—well, here goes :
One of the most certain ways of avoiding this baleful mis
use of the English as she is spoke by the queen, and others, is
not to write anything. This, in the Fourth Estate (query, is this,
slangt), usually means a resort to the scissors.
So here is something from The Nashville Banner:
The Greek Colony of Greater Nashville Is "broke." It went
broke last night, and It's all on account of the wrestling
match between “Demon" Uartl and William Demetral, the lat
ter the Greek heavy-wolght. Today there Is gnashing of teeth
all up and down Fourth and Fifth avenues and Church street,
and the pockets of the Men of Athens are light; their hearts
are correspondingly heavy.
With a patriotism that traces back to the Spartans of old,
the Greeks backed their countryman last night against the
“Demon." Skilled In the art of the mat, weighing 180 pounds,
a six-footer and splendidly built, the Greeks could not figure
that their man would lose. He had won a fall before; he
would surely win two of them this time with a match to a fin
ish. They plunged on Demotral. Some put up their last cent
Some went In hundreds of dollars. In fact one well-known res
taurant proprietor Is said to have put up $1,500. another $500.
The Greek bootblacks even are accredited with dropping a
wad footing up something like $800, and the total losings of
the Greek Colony are said to be something like $6,000.
Today the Greeks are swearing awful things against this
same Demetral, their countryman. Those who lost are not ad-
mltUng that the fearful punishment given the Greek by Bartl's .
leg bolds caused him to sink to the mat. They are swearing
the Greek fixed them and they say they are going to fix the .
Greek.
In the meanwhile the Greek Colony continues to be
“broke” and Increased quotations In tho price of “ham and
over" may not be unexpected or surprising.
This is nil entertaining piece of literature, with n moral;
and moreover it may be remembered that the said Demetral
appeared on a couple of occasions before the unsuspecting pub
lic of Atlanta—and that shortly thereafter there were wailings
among the keepers.of the quick order houses and lamentations
from the tents of the fruit sellers.
If we had not abjured the uso of slang wo should doubtless
remark that the Greeks of both cities were “stung.”
Far, far be it from anyone to insinuate that there was any
thing underhanded perpetrated in either city.
BUT—
He who allows himself to be disconnected from his money
by the medium of a pair of wrestlers is either so innocent that
he should at once apply for a conservator or so near the dread
malady paresis that he should immediately enroll his name on
the waiting list of some reliable lunatic asylum.
Some day the poor, deluded sport-lovers of Nashville will
awake to the fact that wrestling is not a sport any more thau
buying gold bricks or green goods.
This docs not apply to all wrestling matches, but it does
apply to most.
And now we turn from tho delusions of Nashville bettors to
the greatest of all sports—baseball.
It gives us the greatest pleasuro to call attention again to
the singularly lofty altitude achieved nnd to the present main
tained by the baseball players, who, though pnid for their ser
vice—a fact which, while it doe s not necessarily, though it
might in some degree, modify that which might be termed,
though Webster gives another meaning, the—the—

DISTRICT TRACK AND FELD MEET
IS “ON" AT PIEDMONT TUESDAY
Rejuvenated Augusta Team
Looks Like Strong Bunch
A pedal to The Georgian.
Augusta, Ga., May 7.—A rejuvenated
line-up was presented by Auguata In
bar game with Savannah yesterday
afternoon, and the change enabled the
victory to come to Ranslck with com
parative ease.
At third base, a position at which the
locals have been weak all season, Het-
nle Busch, late with Montgomery, ap
peared and the playing of the Dutch
man pleased the fans and the manage
ment. Sandy McKeman, who has been
playing this position. Is now on the
bench, and will be used as utility man.
At first base yesterday Trammell
Scott, who was once the star first seek
er for the University of Georgia, and
who last season played for a month
with Jacksonville, appeared, and In hie
Initial appearance In an Augusta uni
form he showed up well. It Is thought,
however, that Scott will be stationed
only temporarily at first' base, as
Ratrhford has been secured from Mont
gomery and wilt probably be a fixture
at this station. Dexter, who has been
playing first boss since the season
opened, has been switched to left field
and will probably remain there all sea
son, ns he Is batting and fielding well.
Captain Maloney, whom Ranslck se
cured from Youngstown, Ohio, did not
show up well In center field and yes
terday received the pink slip. Kustus,
who has been playing In left, will go
bark to renter, and Dexter will lake
hla place In left.
One or Augusta'e catchers will have
to go, as there are three here. It la
probable that Connelly will be the man
to receive the tin can. a* Jack Evers
and Denny (then will be retained on ac
count of their experience. Red Bohan
non and Dlerman are playing great ball
at second and short, respectively, and
Bohannon baa been made captain of
the team.
The Ditching staff, with the addi
tion of Rowan, will be good, as Schop-v
Holmes and Thomas have already
.shown up well. The work of Grant
Schopp haa greatly commended Itself
to the fane and the management, as
the southpaw has the goods and Is
willing to deliver them at all times.
