BY PERCY H. WHITING.
As a bet-settler the writer seems to be doing a land-offico
business right now.
One fan wants to know what was the biggest crowd that
ever saw a base|all game and whether it was larger or smaller
than the biggest football crowd.
The answer is:
There were 45,000 people present at the Yale-Harvard
game in 1905. The largest crowd that ever saw a baseball game
was 24,992 at New York between Philadelphia and New York in
the world's championship.
Another man wants to know the decision in regard to bets
on the would-be-but-wasn’t Tech-Georgia game of A couple of
Saturdays ago.
It is the opinion of the writer that bets on that game would
be off.
The M. Kutz team has shown the right spirit in agreeing
to play over the game which they protested last Saturday
against the Southern Railway. Technically they were perhaps
right, but Manager Winn decided that he would rather take a
chance of losing the game than to win it on a technicality and
consequently agreed to play it over.
It is this kind of a spirit which makes amateur baseball
worth while and which assures the success of a league made
up of such managers. i
The Georgian has in the past and is now making a very
strenuous effort to keep the standings of the clubs correct.
The Georgian's standing was correct yesterday for all four
leagues, it ought to be today and we shall endeavor to make it
so tomorrow.
You can bank on The Georgian’s standing.

Memphis as the special attraction,
there Is likely to be a young multitude
at that game.

Two out of three from Shreveport
was the verdict after the close of Tues
day's game at Ponce DeLeon.
With the break even at the end of
Monday’s game, the Crackers turned on
the Pirates and hammered them re
lentlessly.
The score In the deciding game was
8 to 3.
— •
Spade started out like a shut-out
performer, and up to the sixth Inning
bad allowed just one hit. Then came
two singles, a double an out and a
triple In quick and fatal succession.
It was a lucky escape that kept the
score down to three runs. Billy Smith
woe clearly worried, for he hustled a
couple of pitchers out behind the
grandstand and warmed them up. Aft
er that Inning Spade steadied and al
lowed only a hit to the Inning for the
rest of the game.
Beeker, who has not been up to
form this year, did not show any espe
cial Improvement Tuesday. The Crack
ers hit his delivery practically when
and where they willed.
And the crash came when Otto Jor
dan knocked a home run. After that
fatal fifth Inning ended Beeker whs
yanked and Fisher went In, only to
meet a fate almost as bad aa Beaker's.
Otto's homer was tho first one ever
knocked In the new park and was a
hummer from Ilummersvllle.
It sneaked an a line down by third
base, passed King like a limited does
a tramp, did the same for Daley and
rolled on Into the waste places beyond
the bleachers.
And for a fact, Otto could have
completed the circuit and then gone on
to second base again If he had cared to.
But as It was. he juet jogged home, and
at that beat the ball about a mile.
Spade's two-bagger In the eighth
would have been another Juet such
except for tbe fact that It hooked
around a bit and collided with the cor.
ner of the bleachers.
Put one other thing down in your lit
tle red book. There are going to be
a lot of home runs knocked this year.
That "skinned” outfield bakes aa hard
as the hinges of—of a door—and when
a low ball gets by the outfielders It Is
likely to run a mile.
There Is one thing about those Pi
rates. They always look like big
leaguers. Part of this effect Is pro
duced by the uniforms they wear and
part by the fact that most of the
Shreveporters are big men and stack
up like a collection of majors.
Shreveport has one of the best field
Ing outfields In the league—Just as It
had last year. That Judd Daley Just
doesn’t care whom he robs of a hit, and
the rest of them aren't much better.
The crowd had lota of fun yelling to
FHher to take himself out. But Tom
my didn't take the hint.
Becker drew a lovely soak In the
bean at second when tho Pirates tried
to throw him out there. But he went
right on and finished out Just as though
nothing had happened.
The tables were turned Tuesday
when every eastern club but Atlanta
lost. On the previous day Atlanta was
the only easterner which dropped a
game.
Mike Finn, of the Little Rock club,
has turned Pitcher Lakoft back to De
troit and haa signed a chap named

EARTHQUAKE
F0RJAR0NS
Demont’s Arrival Means
Shake-Up For Vaughn’s
Team.
Special to The Georgian.
Birmingham, Ala., May 29.—With the
return of Harry Vaughn from Cincin
nati, where he went to visit a elck rela-
live, and Incidentally to pick up any
loose ball players that he might find,
announcement of a general shake-up In
the Birmingham baseball club Is ex
pedited. Eugene DeMontrevllle, the
former Atlanta player, will be played
at short, a position that has suffered
extensively since Oyler was forced out
of the game on account of an accident.
Atlanta fans need no Introduction to
"Demont,” as he Is commonly called,
for he was the star second baseman
and captain of the 1905 Atlanta team.
Hardly had word reached Blrmlng-
ham that Vaughn had purchased De
Montrevllle In Toledo, before there was
a shuffle on the local team. As a re
sult, Roy Montgomery, who has been a
Baron for two seasons, has closed a deal
with the •Jackson, Miss., team to man
age that aggregation of ball players
the rest of the season. He will leave
for Jackson Just as soon as all arrange
ments are made with t|ie local team,
and Vaughn puts a man In his ploca
Under tho terms of the release It Is un
derstood that a waiver will be given on
Montgomery. He Is well liked by the
Birmingham management, but has
played In hard luck this year, aufterlng
with rheumatism and a bad pair of
eyes.
One of the flnt official announce
ments expected from Vaughn concerns
Oyler, Lister and Alcock. It la gen
erally understood that two of these men
must go. Oyler is said to be all out of
condition. At the present time he Is In
bed with both ankles caved In and his
throwing arm torn to pieces. It Is
probable that he will not appear on e
Southern League diamond this season.
Present Indications point to the re
tention of Alcock on third baee for the
Barons at the present, at least. Cap
tain Molesworth thinks he will make s
good Inflelder after this season, at
least, and It Is almost an assured fact
that he will remain at third. After the
team has been weeded down to thirteen
men and with the deals rumored put
through, the Barons' Une-up will be;
Catchers, Garvin and Latimer; first
base, Meeks; second base, Walters;
ttfird base, Alcock; shortstop, DeMon
trevllle; outfielders, Molesworth, Smith
and Gardner; pitchers, Wilhelm, Ka
gan, Clark and Turner.
