The lmsdmll season is on.
Nothing has happened .vet blit we are waiting,
ttir mid you can’t mistake the symptoms.
It is in the
New York Americans are due Tuesday night. And front Wed
nesday morning, when the Highlanders begin practice, until late
next September there will be something doing in the baseball
line. ,
Clark Griffith seems to have stacked up against it pretty
stout. Is Chesbro gives up bnseball and if Hal Chase plays in
dependently the Highlander chief will have trouble in routtdiug
out a good team.
Here’s wishing hint luck. The hackers of the New York
team have gone out and spent the money and they are entitled to
better luck than they are having.
“DeArntond and Drcnnnn will probably not he with me this
season.” writes our old friend Mike Finn. “I have about closed
a deal in which they figure.
"I have secured 11. K. Corkill from the Minneapolis club. He
is*an outfielder.” •
Finn is'going to give Little Rock a ball club this year.
Wall'll what we tell you. He has turned the trick before mid this
is the time he repeats.
Arthur Herman, the long. Inuguid pitcher of the Nashville
team, has applied to President Kavnnanglt for a berth as um
pire. Herman was^n good pitcher in his day and might make
an umpire.
Jimmy Smith, the Memphis sccoud baseman, lias been given
his unconditional release.
At his prime-Jimmy was the best in the business. But he
.just would fiddle with the juice of the festive corn berry—and
now he is mi the haNeball market again. Too had. The South has
never seen a more graceful second baseman or a more aggres
sive hall player than Jimmy Smith.
Vanderbilt and I'niversify of Nashville baseball clubs begin
practice today. Regular work begins at Tech. And so it goes.
In many of the colleges farther South work has advanced
unite a hit and it will not he long before the college teams are
playing ball.

"season of discontent" was over.
Among the player* were a majority

Atlanta Will Be Strong
In Tennis Championships
With tht* dates of nil Important ten
nis championships announced. South
ern players are beginning to take n
lively Interest in the tennis prospects
for the coming season.
The season opens, as usual, with the
Gulf States championship nt New Or
leans May 27. The next Southern
tournament Is the Virginia State cham
pionship. June 10.
Then follow:
Tennessee Stute championship at
Nashville. June 24.
Southern championship at Atlanta,
July 2.
Georgia State championship nt Ma
con. July 8.
Houtli Atlantic States championship
nt Augusta. July 15.
As was the case last year, the four
greatest Southern events are run In
series so that ull players can start with
the Nushvllle tournament und finish
up In Augusta, playing tn the four
championships between June 24 and
July 18.
Atlanta will be strongly represented
In all of the Southern tournaments,
with the possible exception of the Vir
ginia championship.
Nat Thornton and Bryan Grant will
undoubtedly go to New Orleans to de
fend their doubles and singles titles.
I#a*t year local players were beaten In
the Nashvllel event, hut they will go
back aguln this year, probably in larger
numbers than ever before.
The Southern championship In At
lanta promises to Im* a warmer event
than ever before. It Is tho belief here
that Heuhon Hunt will return to de
fend his title, but he will certainly find
the game faster than he did lust year.
The fact that the winners In doubles
and singles are to Im* sent to compete In
the National championship nt tile ex
pense of ihe Southern Lawn Tennis
Association, will draw to Atlanta not
only the pick bf Southern tennis play
ers, but doubtless some of the North
ern and Eastern stars as well.
Local players wll doubtless have a
try at the Georgia Stato and South At
lantic chAinplonshlps.
Little, of Cincinnati, hold* the singles
championship of Georgia and It is not
known whether or not he will defend
the title. Hunt and Lee. the Univer
sity of Michigan team, hold first hon
ors In doubles. It Is doubtful If the
doubles team will defend.
Judged by the present nutlook, the
Smith will have some tine tennis this
year. and. ns usual. Atlanta players
may- be expected to cut more figure
than the players of any oilier city. Ac
cording to the oRIclal ranking. Atlanlk
has ns many good players as any two
other cities combined, and these play
ers will doubtless hold their own this
year, us they .ltd Inst.
The East Luke tennis courts have
wintered well and will soon l>e put In
condition for the season’s piny.
