WHITING NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS BY PEBOY H. WHITING. Well, the new Atlanta players are all here, the first can haa been applied and they are beginning to shake down the team into a semblance of the shape it will be in when the season opens. The arrival of Dyer and Ford completed the Atlanta'roster with the exoeptions of Professors Fox, Jordan and Winters, the college coaches. The canning of Doc Childs, which took place Sunday, cut down the list of Atlanta pitchers by one and showed among other things that Billy Smith intends to cut away the dead wood ms fast,as possible in order to give a more thorough trial to the real possibilities. While Billy Smith's action in this case will meet with the approval of the fans there will be many who will regret tbe pass ing of Doc. He wasn’t a hard worker or a conscientious trainer, but personally he was as clever as they make them and when he was in condition the South possessed no better pitcher than the once-famous “Georgia Peach." There is a chance that, if he can rid himself of rheumatism, Doc will “come back.” Here'a luck to him, anyway. Though “Doe” has “passed” Billy Smith still has a few pitchers to work over and worry over. There are the “Three S’s” —Spade, Sparks and Schopp—and the “Other Three”—Zeller, Harl !ey and Ford. This number of men Smith is likely to keep until the expected “ come-across ” of Griffith or the Detroit man agement takes plsce. Detroit seems determined to give Billy Smith a pitcher or two, whether he wants them or not. And he more than wants them. Clark Griffith has practically promised to do “the right thing-” What that means remains to be seen, but presumably something like Barger, Hrockett or something along that line. Now don’t delude yourself into believing that these amiable and astute managers are giving Atlanta players because they are on terms of friendship with Atlanta or Billy Smith. They are doing it because they want to traiu next year at the best training point in tbe South—Atlanta. If Billy Smith were going to have only one park at his dispo sal next spring he would be embarrassed, perhsps, by the propo rtion. AUGUSTA TEAMPLAYS TWICE AT PIEDMONT Ths Augusta players of the South Atlantic League arc the visitors In At lanta Monday and Tuesday and tacltla the Crackcra both days. The featlvl- ttea begin at 3:30. Augusta has a strong team and one which can be counted on to Interest the local outat. After tbe way the minor leaguers have been walloping their big brothera. nothing In the way of a game will be really unexpected and Augusta Is likely to give Atlanta a pretty atlfT game. Jack Evers will be among tha visi tors. By BOZEMAN BULGER, ef Tha New York Evening World. GEORGIA HAS A STAR COACH University of O e or* la, Athena, Qa., March IS.—A largo I part of the success achieved by ths University of Oeorgla base ball team In 1»0C was due to the great coaching of Thomas Slouch. Mr. Stouchcame to the university But Detroit can have Piedmont and Now York Ponce De Leon or the other way about and both tcama can train in the city without any crowding. There might be some conflicts when jt came to exhibition games, but this is not necessary, either, be cause no team which trains in the city is likely to get more than two games a week. Clark Griffith isn’t getting them this vear, anyway. .. Major league teams aro certainly having their measures taken with alarming frequency in the South these daya. Macon trim med New York Americans twice running, Little Rock beat Boaton Americana 9 to 4, New Orleans held the White Sox down to 2 to 0 in the first game with the World's Champions and trimmed them with a shut out the next trip. Verily, baseball in the South this season promises to be speedy. “YANKS WILL BEAT NAPS’ —8syt C. GRIFFITH. By E. F. BANG, ef Ths Cleveland New*. JlegMaami?

Slouch haa a team at present which looks He good oa nr! oth er college team In the South. Here It the way thatCoaeh Slouch feels about the prospects: "Of course, I don't want to do any undue boast ing at this time Now that the city of Macon. Oa., has fully avenged Sherman's inarch to the sea, some forty years agor Clark Grif fith and hla band of Northern athletes sre getting down to business with s vim. Not satisfied with a scornful greeting for the club which disgraced Itself be fore the bush leaguers In Macon. Jim McGuire and Kid Elberfeld, on behalf of the cripple department of the club, challenged Griffith to a game Monday morning at 3 o’clock. McGuire's hand lx far from well, but the game old catcher says that to teach the gang a. ‘ _ _ lesson he will go In and catch the game anyway. - tin top of that he has bet Orlfflth a IS hat that he can beak the club which went to Macon today or at any time It wunte lo start. The old members of the team aye very much ploued over the double de. ihds of the minor leaguer* feat at the hai and they hate It the more became they were here In Atlanta and had to eland for the Jibes of the Cleveland players who had Just given Atlanta a bad trim ming.

It Is much better, however, for Qrlffltb to have hit trouble* now than utter the aeaaon start*. The Cleveland club al ways puts up a pretty exhibition In tbe spring, but falls down later on.

It Is a known fact that Griffith has always pinned hie faith In Doyle, the man who made such a reputation by hie slow work In New York last summer. "Now, that fellow ha* something,” explained Griff, "and for hie yea?* and Inches I want to tell you that he Is some pitch- You can't go wrong on that dope.” Now. let's scratch off Doyls, for it u - "sured fact that be will be one •*—*•**« ***** md wiji ue nne . the regular pitchers.
