THE DIAMOND, FROM THE GRANDSTAND. NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS BY PERCY H. WHITING. As a general proposition tho sporting department does not feel, except at meal time, a consuming interest in the science of dietetics. Bt\,t he recently found much of interest jn a reprint from The Yalo Medical Journal entitled “Tho Influence of Flesh Eat ing on Endurance,” by IrvingFisher. This volnme was more “thrust upon him” than “acquir ed.” It came in with a stack of mail and looked too scientific for the editor of the back page. So, without looking at the title, the sporting department laid it quietly on the managing edi tor’s desk. In an hour it wns back. Obviously that was the “wrong pew,” so the 1 volume went next—and with all secrecy—to the city editor’s desk. This time it took about an hour to work back. PREPARATIONS COMPLETED FOR INTER-COLLEGIATE TENNISMEET Nineteen Players En tered From 5 Dif ferent Colleges. With an entry Hit larger than the flrat South AUantlc tournament boast ed. and with* practically every flrat- clasa-college player In the South cer tain to be on hand, the llrst Southern Intercollegiate Lawn Tennis Associa tion tournament will begin qn the At lanta Athletic Club courts at East Lake Friday afternoon. Nineteen tennla cracks have entered the event and some flrst-claas tennla Is certain. College matches are un like regular tournaments—they do not attract any poor players who come Just for the fun Of the thing. These nineteen men who will compete for first Intercollegiate tennis honors rep resent the pick of the South. As was to be expected, Tech- and University of Georgia will be most strongly irepresented. Georgia with 6 men. Tech with 6. The full entry list follows: University of Georgia—Heyward Deane. E. V. Carter, Jr.. D. E. Mld- dlebrooks, C. E. Davis, R. B. Scott. W. T. Gary. Wake Forest—H. M. Poteat, E. B. Earnshaw. i Mississippi Agricultural and Me chanical—E. R. Blanton. T. H. Bur- rues, H. D.

James Dawson and Stewart have reached (he finals In the singles and Fleming and Stewart In the doubles. The tournament to decide the college championship will not be played until next week. I The drawings In the tournament will be held at 10 o'clock Friday morning In the city club and the program will be mapped out at that time. The ar rangement of matches Is not definitely decided as yet, but It Is certain that play will start—barring rain—at o’clock Friday afternoon. The singles will* be started firs: and the doubles os fast as possible. There will be more courts In commission than there will be matches In any round and It will not take long to thin down the entry list. Tho finals In the doubles wjll be played Saturday - morning and In the singles Saturday afternoon.. The tournament will be In charge of Nat Thornton, who will serve os ref eree. The winner of the championship In singles will become the president of the Southern Intercollegiate Lawn Tennis Association, the runner-up will be secretary and treasurer and the doubles winners will be the llrst and second vice presidents. The practical certainly that the first Intercollegiate tennis tournament ever After that wo knew that the task of losing it wns hope less, but five times we threw it into the waste basket and once we threw it out the window. And always it returned. So in desperation we read it and found it interesting. And now that we want it, in order that we may write about it, tho pamphlet him disappeared and is, of course, gone forever. Where the sporting department “gets in” is that tho ques tion of endurance is one of the greatest interest to all athletes and what interests them interests us. Boiling down the 16 pagas of the pamphlet to one sen tence it is: A non-flesh or nearly non-flesh diet is more condu cive to endurance than a full-flesh diet. This is surprising to the general run of people who asso ciate a good beefsteak diet with endurance as well as strength. But a long series of testa were made and the vegetarian athletes smeared it all over the meat eaters at such Stunts as holding the arms horizontally, deep knee bending and*1eg rais ing. At the first named stunt * Battle Creek phenomenon held his arms horizontally 200 minutes and then had not reached the limit of endurance. Try it yourself for five and see how you like* it. The best any meat eater did was 22 minutes. Well, what of itt Nothing as far aa we know except that we wait with inter est for the appearance of a vegetarian fuotbnll trnni, and the dov U'hun 7o11ai* .Tint ntwl tliu << rtnf.li 1 vii*»u M performers stack up against a non-meat bill of fare. When that day comes your vegetarians will be pitching double-headers every day for a week and McGiifnity’s record will look ns though it were made by a tissue paper man. In the meantime the sporting department will continue to to eat meat three times n day whenever possible, and take its chances on the endurance proposition. ATHLETIC CLUB GOLFERS WILL TACKLE MAC0NITES A golf team representing the Atlanta Athletlo Club will moke a trip to Macon Saturday to play a match with the team representing the Log Cnbln Club. Tuesday a challenge was received from W. C. Redding, captain of the Macon* club's team, and It was at once accepted by F. G. Byrd, chairman of the golf committee, In behalf of the A. A. C. It has not been definitely decided how the local team will be made up. but the following will surely make <tthe trip: F. O. Byrd, W. P. Hill, \V. J. Tllaon. William Shine. Thomas Paine and \V. R. Tlchenor. The other proba bilities sne: P. T. Mnrye, O. D. Street and Dr. Frank Holland. Rain Saves the Travelers From Castleton’s Vengeance They couldn't play baseball at Lit tle Rock Tuesday—which was nice for Little Rock, because Billy Smith had slated Castleton to pitch and had al ready derided that the game waa as good as won. However, Billy Is still holding the Tankee-Mormon southpaw over the heads'of Mike Finn's revivified tribe, and trouble will hit the Travelers Wed nesday, sure, unless rain prevents. That was a line dream somebody over In Little Rock had. According to the story. Billy Smith signed himself as a player and when he cut down his team to the limit, as he had to do May 10, he had no right to himself without getting walv- 1 The question now arises, In regard to tho writer of the story—was It opium or was It hasheesh? For any school child ought to know that the waiver rule does not hold for absolute releases, which Is what Smith handed himself when he got out of the game as a playing manager. If Smith wanted to sell himself to Macon or Augusta he would have to get waivers from the other Southern League teams. He can, however, re lease himself or any other man on his team outright whenever he wants to.

The Tech-Mercer game of April 12, won by Mercer, will not count In the rocs for the college championship of Georgia and will probably be flayed over again. ’ Tech received news Tuesday morn ing which has had the effect of put ting her stock away up In the raco for the Georgia state championship. This was a ruling from President Pulliam, of the National League, on the protest which was entered Immediately after the game with Mercer at Macon on April 12. It will be remembered that a de cision of the umpire In that game al lowed Mercer to score two runs, and as the decision was one based on "rules” and not "Judgment,” a protest was entered, with the approval of tho Mercer team. The facts were as follows:. With one out and runners on first nnd second, the batter (for Mercer) hit a pop fly, which fell within a few feet of the pitcher’s box. The man on second ran off toward third, and ns soon as the ball was picked pp It was played and he was touched before he reached third. Lafitte, as Tech cap tain, claimed that the man should be out, but the umpire held that he should be allowed to return to the base, as he did not hear the umpire call the hit an "Infield fly,” which put the baiter out. Mercer scored two runs In that Inning. After the game tho Umpire prepared a statement of the facts, and this state, ment was Indorsed by Captain Lafitte for Tech and Captain Kendrick, of Mercer, and then sent to President Pul. I llam for his decision, As stated abort] he decided the game should be throat out, which gives Tech to date a rl« record, with three wide and no defeats I In case Tech should take both gama, from Georgia this week this game sill I probably not be played off, but shouMl Georgia win one or both, and then via I from Mercer on May 25, It Is morel than probable that the game will t» I played off In order to determine ttil real winner of the championship. Ai I this will give the Tech team a churn I to use their most effective pitcher, [ Lafitte, It can be readily seen tbs Tech's chances have been greatly bet- tered by this decision of President Pul-1 llam. In the meantime Tech Is practicing I hafd and will use every effort to lull' at least one. If not both, of the samre j this week from Georgia.
