Manager Looser la desirous of ar ranging a aeries of games with Georgia , Tech, and It Is probable that these , teams will mast during tha season. By PXRCY H. WHUDHL 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.
