Bob Dooin will not play with a Southern League team this
year. Nobody seems to know, who said he would. The writer’s
dope book doesn’t show any record that any Southern papers
ever said that Dooin would come South. But The Cincinnati En
quirer says that somebddy said he would and that we “won’t”
He goes to Providence.
This business of phony deals with the Southern "League
team* aeema to be getting chronic.
The other day the Cincinnati Enquirer carried a story that
Prank Quinn had been signed by Atlanta.
Thia waa a choice fake, became Smith never heard of the
man. ' ,
“Nig” Clark did not get the raise he held out for. Cleveland
gave him a nice bunch of money but could not quite inflate their
ideaa to meet thoae of "Nig.’’
(hncinnati paper* are out after the' professional wrestlers
and are' going to recommend that in future the use of the arms
and lege be barred and that only grappling with tbe ice tonga be
permitted. I „
They are trying to clean out the pool room* in St. Lopis
and it’a a good job, well, begun. Of all the undesirable adjuncts
of tbe racing game the pool rooms and the hand books are about
the least desirable; and the men who conduct them have done as
much to put racing in bad repute rs all tbe crooked raeea and
all the crazy gambling rolled together.
Oans and Lewis are not going to fight. Gee. but this is a
bitter blow—to somebody. No harm tlone, though; and a lot of
suckera spared the sadnees of seeing tvhat would doubtless have
been a poor fight.
The activity in college baseball these daya is something
fierce. Schedules are pouring out, candidates for the teams are
doing likewise and with the first farm weather the college dia
monds of Dixie will be scenes of the greatest activity.
Tech and the University of Georgia have great schedules.
Mercer had one but there is no telling how much of it can be
played out. But at any rate there will be plenty doing this
spring to hold the attention of those interested in college base
ball.
The Nashville American is accusing Atlanta fans of think
ing that they have the beet catcher, first baseman and second
baseman in tbe league during the coming season.
Well, that's a little premature, to put it mildly. No use in
htving the best players of the season until the season begins.
We think that undoubedfy they will prove to be the league
leaders, but what we said waa that they were the beet in the
league last year.
