THE ATLANTA 0EOT?01 AX AND NEWS. MONDAY. APRIL 1.1007.
THEY’RE OFF ON LAST LAP OF EXHIBITION
SPORTING RAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING
NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
BY PERCY H. WHITING.
Well, we’re off on the lust week of thd exhibition baseball
series.
Cleveland Monday and Tuesday, Brooklyn Wednesday and
Thursday and New York for the last time Friday and Satur
day.
Then some Southern League baseball.
In the meantime prospects continue to brighten. The At
lanta team made a great showing Saturday. The bunch has been
strengthened by the addition of the last of the regulars—Fox,
Jordan and Winters.
With another week spent in whipping the bunch into shape
the Billy Smithites will be right there to hit the Southern
League teams hard at the start and keep on hitting until the
end.
There is no doubt in the minds of any good fans about the
team. With any kind of luck it will be one-two in the race. With
the luck Birmingham had last year it will finish as far in front
as Charley Frank did in 1905. If it has as hard hick as usual—-
well, there’s no use in going into this luck thing. If it’s bad it’s
bad and there’s no use in kicking.
New Orleans is a wide open town and will stand for quite a
bit. But it draws the line at the New York Nationals.
Birmingham has been drawing the lino for a couple of years
and Memphis for a year. ,
Every place the Giants have gone they have turned every
body against them.
It is a fine bunch, but the South is about through with it.
When a few more cities get their fingers crossed MfGraw will
have more trouble than ever in finding training grounds.
Says Hugh Roberts, of The Birmingham Age-Herald:
The Atlanta papers have opened up their heavy suns. The
players are getting the hot end of the stick every day, morning
and night. Thla man la rotten and this should be flred. The truth
la that Atlanta wants the rag so badly that the writers are
prying out defects where there exists none. Let time work out
the kinks, little boys.
Wako up, Roberts. The Atlanta newspapers are the only
ones in the league which never go back on the team.
The Atlanta team has hnd some bad seasons. But through it
all the players have usually done their best, the managers have
always done their best and the club owners have spent their money
liberally to give the patrons of tho game good baseball.
Win or lose there will be no kick while such a policy is main
tained.
The Southern League lost a good man when Dale Gear retir
ed from the game. Gear was a gentleman and a man of superior
education. Ho secured a good legal education in the winters and
played baseball during the summers. Now lie is practicing law
and will doubtless make good.
By the way, we have another lawyer on our own team. The
man is Bill Dyer, now third baseman;
Dyer is a senior in the Boston University Law School, an
institution from which graduated somo of the most brilliant law
yers of New England, and next year wjll bo practicing law for
himself.
But Dyer is more than n lawyer and a ball player. He is a
musician of great ability and considerable note. Ills stunt is
the piano and besides beating the filling out of the box he runs his
own orchestra. This organization is continued during the sum
mer under a manager and Dyer will take it up again in tho fall.
DODGERS ARE
IN GEORGIA
Special to The deorglan.
Macon, da., April 1.—The Brooklyn
Nationals, the first National League
brigade to reach Macon for exhibition
game. In several years, Is In the city
tat two contests with the locals. Presi
dent Ebbltts Is more than pleased with
Jacksonville, and will probably go back
there next year.
In the game this afternoon either
Clarke or Helm will face the major
leaguers, and the hopes are that a repe
tition of last Saturday's gamo will not
be the case.
On Saturday afternoon last the Naps
simply wore their Easter hitting gar
ments one day too soon. The result
was that Shumann and Scnrtlim were
found for 12 safe hits, amounting to
over 3* bases. Macon saved n shut out
by Murdoch's home run over the left
Held fence In the eighth. Waktffleld and
Nig Clarke also drew four-base hits,
Wakefield's being made within the
grounds. The score was 15 to 1 In fa
vor of Cleveland.
GEO. W. ADAIR
TAKES PRIZE
Wins Handicap Golf Tour
nament Over East
Lake Course.
George W. Adair, president of the
Atlanta Athletic Club, and a golfer who
haa made marvelous strides during the
past winter, won first prise In the “ball
handicap" played over the East Lake
course Saturday afternoon. He made a
gross scoro of 99, which, with 20 off,
gave him a net of T1 strikes, three bet
ter than hts closest competitors. Clar.
enca Angler, with a >2, took the prise
for the lowest gross score.
The total entry was 30, though three
golfers failed to turn In cards. Some
very fast golf was played, os eleven
of the thirty golfers had grosa scorea
under 100 and no scratch men and only
one "low handicap man" took part In
the tournament.
The handicap committee la making
gradual reductions In the handicaps,
and will again revise and reduce before
next Saturday, when another handicap
tournament will be held.
Some Idea of the growing local In
terest In golf Is shown by the handicap
list of the Atlanta Athletic Club, which
now contains 100 names.

NAP TEAM HERE
FOR TWO BATTLES
GEORGE GRABS ONE.
The Cleveland team has reached At
lanta and thla afternoon stacks up
against the Crackers for the third time
this season.
The other two games the Naps won
easily, but the aggregation Is weaker
now, while the Crackers are decidedly
stronger.
As a result a tight baseball game
may be expected.
The Cleveland team plays again to
morrow and then hit* the lone pike
northward, while the Brooklyn team
jumps In for a couple of games.
Atlanta will be right there with a
strong line-up today and ought to give
the Larrys a hustle. Old Jim Fox I*
calculated to look pretty natural on
first base and with Jordan at second
and George Winters In the outfield It
v.ill sure be like old times.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
OF GOLF ASSOCIATION
MEETS HERE WEDNESDAY
The eiecutlve committee of the Southern
Golf Aaiieclntlon has been called to meet
at the. Capital City Club Wednesday morn*
Inf at 10 a. m. Thla call was Itsued by
President 11. V. Smith, of Nashville.
The meeting of the eiecutlve committee
Is for the enpeclal purpose of going over
the Atlanta course for the purpose of de
ciding whether or not It will be In fit con
dition for the annual tournament of the
Southern Association.
At the aunual meeting of the association
held last summer In New Orleans the 1907
tournament of the association waa voted to
Atlanta on condition that the course was
ready In time. The committee will decide
Wetlueaday on this point.
At the meeting Wednesday the time of
holding the tournament will also be de
cided.
Maxwell, who waa holding out for
more coin, seems to have got what he
was .looking for. The latest Is that
he and Malarky have come to terms,
so the Arkansas boy will be a member
of the “Climbers” staff this season.
More will be heard from him thla
year.

DOES ATLANTA GET CASTLET0N
FOR NEXT YEAR'S "GROUND RENT?
Sid Mercer Dopes Him
Out as a Strong
Possibility.
By SID MERCER, 0 f the New York
Globe.
Some time thle week Griff will decide
which pitcher he wjll leave here for
"ground rent" next spring. It was ru
mored here Saturday that Cy Bargar
had been eelected, but that he had de
clined the assignment. Roy Caslle-
ton Is another possibility. Though he
appears worthy of further trial, a sea
son's experience In the Southern
League would greatly Improve him and
when he came back to New York his
chances of making good would be much
better. However, Griffith has not made
any announcements on this subject.
Kid Elberfeld will arrive In New
York this morning. He wae called
home by the Illness of his wife at Suf-
fern, N. Y. , Elberfeld will rejoin the
team at Baltimore. By that time he
hopes to be able to relieve Conroy at
short.
One week from next Thursday, the
flag falls In the American League, and
It seems almost a certainty that the
Yankees will go to the poet without
Hal Chase.
As the days go by It becomes more’
and more apparent that the crack first
baseman Is the most valuable asset of
the New York team. There are other
men who are Just as valuable in their
positions, but the entire Infield revolves
around the Californian and the strength
he adds to the team can bo measured
by the lack of It caused by his absence.
Even without this matter to worry
him, Griff has enough troubles. Should
Chase report, the pitching problem still
remains to bo solved. At this time the
staff seems strong enough, but no one
can tell what the early days of the sea
son may bring out In the way of good
or III fortune.
This Is the last week of training and
If there are no developments by next
Saturday, then the Yankees will start
with George Morlarity on first, for it
takes nearly a week for Chase to come
from his home In California. Right
now this subject Is causing much dis
cussion here. It wa* the first thing the
Cleveland players asked about when
they arrived here yesterday. Griff Is
anxious to get a good start and natur
ally he can not help but feel hla disad
vantage keenly.
The sudden change In the weather
here has Interrupted the usual, train
ing stunts. Easter Sunday was a dis
mal day, cold and rainy, and though the
rain ceased last night, the temperature
Is not climbing. The drop of twenty
degrees Saturday night caused the re
appearance of overcoats, which had
been stored nway since the day the
team left New York. There was no
morning practice today and the
grounds may not bo In shape this after
noon for the Cleveland game.
CRACKER TEAM
TURNS TABLES
Atlanta, 5f New York, 3.
In what was probably the prettiest
exhibition game of the season, so far
in Atlanta, Billy 8mlth‘s men took
their first sip of victory from a big
league team Saturday.
Neither Hughes nor 'Castleton was
effective against Atlanta's batsmen, the
live runs acquired by Atlanta being
earned for the most part by timely
hitting. Sweeney was th^ hitting star,
securing a pair of doubles and a single.
Except for the sixth Inning, when
New York's three runs were made, Zel
ler waa complete master of the situa
tion. Schopp relieved him In the sev
enth and blanked the Highlanders for
the closing three Innings. The game
was made further notable by the strik
ing out of Willie Keeler by Zeller.

Chase Causes
Worry.
As far as the training part of It Is
concerned, the rain came too late to do
much harm, as the team Is In fine con
dition. The uninterrupted summer
weather of the last three weeks did
the work and from now on the players
need not work so hard. Griff had In
tended to pit his Regulars and Yanl-
gans against each other the first three
mornings this week, but unless the
temperature rises he will not ask hts
pitchers to take chances.
The squad will be divided Wednei-
day night when Jim McGuire and his
Colts start for Richmond. McGuire
will take all of the pitchers except Orth,
Hogg and Brockett. He will play flrst
base himself and Thomas will do tho
catching. In order to pleco out his
team, McGuire will Impress Bobby
Riggs Into service. Riggs must report
In Syracuse on April 12 and will travel
as far os Baltimore at the expense of
the New York club In return for his
services In the three exhibition games
at Richmond and Roanoke. Ira Thom
as will do the catching for the Colt di
vision. The Regulars leave here next
Sunday noon, stopping at Lynchburg,
Vs. AI Orth will pitch the game In his

NAPSTACKLE ATLANTA
WITH MANGLED TEAM
By ED F. BANG.
The Naps have shaken the dust of
Macon from their feett The dust,
however, was not the only thing they
left behind, for they had no sooner
departed from the little town where
they encountered nothing but sunshine
weather than they stacked up against
rain and cold.
Manager Lajole announced Sunday
that there would be only one more
morning practice—on Wednesday—un
til the arrival of the Naps on their
own stamping ground. Cleveland plays
Atlanta Monday and Tuesday and will
leave for Dayton Wednesday afternoon.
Llebhardt and Thlelman probably wilt
pitch Monday’s game.
On Sunday the Naps had but one
"able" outfielder on their staff—Harry
Bay. Perrlng and one of the pitchers
may play the outer garden Monday,
unless Elmer Flick arrives. It Is pos.
slble that Dode Birmingham will ge ,
back In the game, however. Congalton
wrenched his ankle Saturday and the
member is still badly swollen/ Bill
Hlnchman Is confined to the Presbyto-
rlan hospital, having submitted to an
operation Saturday afternoon. The nail
of the great toe of his left foot was
removed.
Bill Bradley will also be out. The
swelling on his neck was not lance-J
Dr. Fowler, the attending physician'
stating that he might bring Bill out
all right without the use of the knife
His neck Is assuming Its normal size'
but Bill may be compelled to remain
In the hospital for a number of days
He hopes to accompany the Naps
North, although It is possible that lie
may not be able to do so.
Bradley does not want to remain at
the hospital alone and threatens to
break Hlnchman's leg In order to keep
him there.
Canning Season About Due
For Sally League Bunches
Special to Tho Georgian,
Macon, Ga„ April 1.—The South At
lantic League season opens one week
from today. According to the new rul
ings of this year, each manager must
have his squad cut down to the regula
tion fourteen players by the opening
date. This necessitates the releasing of
several men In each township, and the
sound of the rattling cans Is almost
heard.
Macon opens the season this year In
Charleston. Manager Ltpe has not yet
announced how the club will face the
Sea-Gulls on Monday afternoon, but
some pretty close figuring can be done,
to the contrary notwithstanding. Either
Jack Robinson or Harnlsh .Is sure to
catch. Either Ross Helm or Clarke
will do the pitching. The infield quar
tet will be made up of Messrs. Wolle-
ben, Rhoton, Pepe and Manager I.lpe
himself. Chandler, Murdoch and Har
ris will play the outfield and Stinson
and Shumann will be on hand to fill In
In the event any of the above named
gents are hurt during the week.
