NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
It vis a slaughters Thursday in Birmingham, but don’t let
it shake your convicition that Atlanta has right now the best team
in the league. Sid Smith and Otto Jordan are but at present and
the team will hardly be at its best until they are back. But, bar
ring hard luck it is going to give them all the run of their lives
for the rag.
They can lose 20 games straight without altering this opin
ion.
GEORGIAN 9 CITY LEAGUE
MEETS ON FRIDAY NIGHT
Th# Georgian's City League will meet in The Georgian office Fri
day night at 8 o'clock. All managers are asked to be present at that time.
Considerable'business is due to come before the session, including
the adoption of a constitution, election of officers, and a report from the
committee on grounds.
The Georgian's City League will not open until May 4, but it is de
sirable to get all the details arranged at once and a full attendance is
urged.
Rowan pitched nice ball. lie was just wild enough to get in
to a lot of deep holes but with the usual brand of Atlanta sup
port he would have pulled o*t easily enough. As it was be
showed no sign of going into the air and kept doing highest un
til Billy Smith took him out in order to have a look at Ford’s as
sortment of carves.
CLEMSON TIGERS WIN
TRACK MEET FROM TECH
Ford did fine work. Ho allowed the Barons a run in the
first inning of service, but blanked them the next two.
Both Ford and Rowan have effective deliveries, steam to
blow and durves galore. Both of them seem certain to go to the ■
top.
Rowan nearly spoiled Birmingham’s highest priced pitcher.
In the third he soaked Clark in the elbow with a pitched ball and
old Pigeon Toes nearly went down for the count. This forced
Oinger to retire from the game and Wilhelm took his place.
This was the third time this season that Wilhelm has had to
relieve another pitcher without having the slightest chance’ to
warm up. And every time be has done well. ,
The Clemeon Tigers got away with
the Yellow Jackets Thursday after
noon In the track meet, the Tigers run
ning up 87 points while the Jackets
came along with 41,
Captain Goodler started for Tech,
winning the 100-yard dash In 10 3-5
seconds, winning the high jump, came
second In the pole vault and third In
the running board Jump.
Furtlck, last year's football star,
demonstrated that he Is an all roilnd
athletic, entering five events, winning
three and In the other two did some
thing toward adding to the count of
his team. Warren, of ■ Clemson, also
-plus Jim Fox—furnish-
That three-bagger of Carlos Smith’)
ed the only real comedy of the game.
When Carlos rounded the first sack at a terrific clip Jim
Fox fell in behind him and ran as though he wns getting a salary
for it right behind Smith down to second and then over to third.
It wa4 such a freakish performance and so unexpected that the U-.,. _ n_ J —,,
crowd screamed. And if it wasn’t a screamer to see Jim Fox I v/uCllCr5 IJCI VC d Ddu I/d V

CRACKERS QUIT BIRMINGHAM AND
INVADE CITY OF M0NTG0MER
The Atlanta team left Birmingham
Friday morning and Is due to play
Montgomery Friday, Saturday, Mon
day and Tuesday afternoons.
, "I’m glad It's Montgomery gnd not
some of the rest of them we go
against," was Manager Smith’s com
ment Thursday night. "We ought to
beat Mallarkey's team, but we are In
With S!
on the sick list and at home, Atlanta
Is pretty well battered up. At that,
the shattered remains have gone to
Montgomery with the firm conviction
that they can win two or three
out of- the four games to be played.
Thursday night found (he delegation
In pretty fair shape. Grant Schopp's
Illness has been somewhat exaggerated
by the Birmingham scribes, and he is
now In fine trim. He was never con
fined to his bed by the Indisposition
which; at worse, was no more serious
than a stomach upset. He was rather
weak Thursday but took a good work
out and would be In shape to go In
Friday If needed.
When last seen, Billy Smith did not
know whom he would pitch In the
opening game with Montgomery. "I
guess It’ll be Zeller, though,” said Bill.
’ lie hasn't worked since Monday and
he Is ieady to go In. Besides he wants
to go home as soon as the game Is
over." •
Rube will pitch the opener on the
team's return. He Is In the best pos
sible trim now and will doubtless polish
off the Dobbers when they open here
next Wednesday.
Schopp 'will very likely take Satur
day's game, though Spade Is ready and
anxious to go In. >
Ford wants another try-out' before
the team returns. He has worlds of
confidence In his ability and asked to
be put In Thursday. He feels sure that
TECH TACKLES
TIGERS TODAY
Barring earthquakes, volcanic erup-
lions, floods, rain and a few such the
Georgia Tech and Sewanee baseball
teams will get together on Tech field
Friday afternoon In the first engage
ment of a three-game series.
The doings will be started at 3:30.
Saturday, Tech and Sewanee will meet
In a double-header. The first game
will be started at 2:30.
chasing Carlos Smith, then we got a lot of laughs out of our ays
terns that belong there still.
All the pitchers lind the “bean ball” working fino. Winters
was hit by the very first ball pitched during the game. Clark
was sent to the woods by a hard one and both Becker and Gard
ner were soaked.
Becker is going to make errors now and then during the sea
son, but nobody who sees them made is ever going to blame him.
Ho is always so obviously trying to do his best and works so hard
and cqnscientiously to win that the few mistakes he makes will
be readily forgiven.
- If the writer had been doing thescoriug Dyer would not have
drawn an error in the second'inning on Gardner’s grounder. It
was a ball which wns almost impossible to handle and Gardner
had.it beaten anyway.
‘‘That “Biringhara squeeze” is a terrible thing—when it
works. But now and then it goes astray. One went wrong-in tho
seventh inning after Smith hit his three-bagger. The signal
came for the squeeze and Gardner bunted at it. The ball was
fouled well into the air, but Carloa did not note that fact until too
late. O’Leary grabbed the sphere on the fly, retiring Gardner,
and then doubled Smith at third.
And Draw an Awful Wallop
By Ptrey H. Whiting.
Birmingham, Ala., April 19.—Every
now and then n team has a wallop
coming to It. Atlanta had one of "them
spells" In Birmingham yesterday. The
result was a 8 to 1 score. Note—Bir
mingham made the 8 runs, Atlanta
the 1.)
The Barons had the Crackers' goat
from the Jump. Of course If It hadn’t
been for frayed-out work of the At
lanta fielders the score would have
been about 2 to 1, Instead of the above
sad figures, but 2 to 1 was a Baron
victory.
It seems, however; that the Atlanta
players had a lot of errors In their
systems and they worked them all out
In a bunch.
that Hid 1 Smith was not behind the
bat and Otto Jordan was far, far from
second base. And If you think that
doesn't make a difference your thinker
is not operating properly.
Neither of the pitchers for the At
lanta team knew a thing about the Bir
mingham batters and the catcher was
“Emmons for Quality”
Clothes That Satisfy
The Most Critical Men
Two kinjls of cloth—one is all-wool,
the other contains cotton. To the inexperi
enced eye both look equally well on the sur
face, but the difference soon shows in the
wear.
Likewise there arc two kinds of tailor
ing, machine-made and hand-made. One is
nothing,' the other is everything in fine
clothes making. *
All-wool—and the best at that—before
a garment cau bear the Enunons label. We
are careful to sec that no mercerized ootton
enters into the making of Emmons clothes.
And, too, the making of Emmons cloth
ing is the regular merchant tailors’ stand
ard—every garment cut separately and
made by hand. Made by hand means per
fect fit and good shape' just as long as a
thread is left—gives the garment a style,
too, that is in a class away from the ordina
ry ready-made kind.
Paj’ $15.00 or $35.00, no matter the
price, you’ll get more than your money’s
worth at Emmons.
In the same boat. They picked up some
.knowledge as they worked but that
Intimate knowledge of what fools any
of them, which la passed by Sid
Smith, wns quite lacking In the At
lanta battery.
Dike enough most of you read In the
extra how It all happened; but, any
way, here It Is again, boiled down to
the limit:
In the first Inning Smith singled.
Then Gardner singled to right field.
Becker tried to hold Smith at second
nnd In the attempt threw the ball In
the bleachers. Both men trotted home.
In the third Lister walked, Garvin
singled, and Clark was soaked on the
elbow, filling the bases. Then Molcs-
worth hit what the scorer was good
enough-to call a three-bagger. How
ever, It looked aa though somebody In
the outfield might have got It.
In the fifth Garvlri singled and Pask-
ert missed the ball. Then Walters hit
a warm one Into the outfield and there
was a google-eyed mlx-up and the 1 ball
went the limit,. Whereupon Garvin
scored. Later on. Gardner singled, scor
ing Walters. In the sixth, a base on
balls, a sacrifice and a single scored
another run.
Atlanta staved off, a shut-out in the
eighth when Winters knocked a two-
bagger and scored on O'Leary's sin
gle.

Gray Pitches
No Hit Battle
Spec(al to The Georgian.
Locust Grove, Ga., April 19.—For five
Innings here Wednesday afternoon L.
G. I. and N. G. A. C., of Dahlonega,
played an unusually snappy game of
baseball. .
The feature of the game was that the
mountain boys failed to get a single
hit off of Gray, L. G. I.'s pitcher. The
fielding was spectacular, especially that
put up by Combs, of the local squad.
Two hits and two errors in the second
Inning gave L. G. I. the only two runs
scored In the contest.
The N. G. A. C. boys put up a strong
fielding game, but could not get In
with the stick.
On Monday L. G. I. goes to Barnes-
vllle for the first contest with Gordon
this season. This will be one of the
big prep games and la looked forward
to with great Interest.
