WHITING. They say we can’t write an article over ten lines long with out giving vent to slang. So now look out for tis. From a point a bit further down the page, where wo pro pose to insert a colon, we shall endeavor, with the aid of Web ster’s Somewhat Abridged. F. A. Marsh, LL.D.’s Thesarus, the World’s Almanac, Spalding’s Officiaf Guide and The Police Ga zette’s Annual, to write an article which shall be so totally de void of slang that—well, here goes : One of the most certain ways of avoiding this baleful mis use of the English as she is spoke by the queen, and others, is not to write anything. This, in the Fourth Estate (query, is this, slangt), usually means a resort to the scissors. So here is something from The Nashville Banner: The Greek Colony of Greater Nashville Is "broke." It went broke last night, and It's all on account of the wrestling match between “Demon" Uartl and William Demetral, the lat ter the Greek heavy-wolght. Today there Is gnashing of teeth all up and down Fourth and Fifth avenues and Church street, and the pockets of the Men of Athens are light; their hearts are correspondingly heavy. With a patriotism that traces back to the Spartans of old, the Greeks backed their countryman last night against the “Demon." Skilled In the art of the mat, weighing 180 pounds, a six-footer and splendidly built, the Greeks could not figure that their man would lose. He had won a fall before; he would surely win two of them this time with a match to a fin ish. They plunged on Demotral. Some put up their last cent Some went In hundreds of dollars. In fact one well-known res taurant proprietor Is said to have put up $1,500. another $500. The Greek bootblacks even are accredited with dropping a wad footing up something like $800, and the total losings of the Greek Colony are said to be something like $6,000. Today the Greeks are swearing awful things against this same Demetral, their countryman. Those who lost are not ad- mltUng that the fearful punishment given the Greek by Bartl's . leg bolds caused him to sink to the mat. They are swearing the Greek fixed them and they say they are going to fix the . Greek. In the meanwhile the Greek Colony continues to be “broke” and Increased quotations In tho price of “ham and over" may not be unexpected or surprising. This is nil entertaining piece of literature, with n moral; and moreover it may be remembered that the said Demetral appeared on a couple of occasions before the unsuspecting pub lic of Atlanta—and that shortly thereafter there were wailings among the keepers.of the quick order houses and lamentations from the tents of the fruit sellers. If we had not abjured the uso of slang wo should doubtless remark that the Greeks of both cities were “stung.” Far, far be it from anyone to insinuate that there was any thing underhanded perpetrated in either city. BUT— He who allows himself to be disconnected from his money by the medium of a pair of wrestlers is either so innocent that he should at once apply for a conservator or so near the dread malady paresis that he should immediately enroll his name on the waiting list of some reliable lunatic asylum. Some day the poor, deluded sport-lovers of Nashville will awake to the fact that wrestling is not a sport any more thau buying gold bricks or green goods. This docs not apply to all wrestling matches, but it does apply to most. And now we turn from tho delusions of Nashville bettors to the greatest of all sports—baseball. It gives us the greatest pleasuro to call attention again to the singularly lofty altitude achieved nnd to the present main tained by the baseball players, who, though pnid for their ser vice—a fact which, while it doe s not necessarily, though it might in some degree, modify that which might be termed, though Webster gives another meaning, the—the— Help 1 Help I Where were we before they threw cold water on ust Oh. yes—we were writing langlcss sports. Well that settles it No more for us. Down with the dictionary. Long live George Ado. HERE IS TEAM WHICH CLAIMS CHAMPIONSHIP THAT FATAL FIFTH! Loud Explosion of Sparks Tumbles Crackers | Out of First Place and Brings Dire Defeat. From Left to Right—Sibley, coach; Smith, catcher; Kelly, first base; Crews, W., pitcher; Hawes, second base; Batty, left field; Goldsmith, pitcher; Bradshaw, third base and captain; Gibbs, shortstop; Hampton, right field; Crews, J., center field; Arrington, pitcher. The Stone Mountain team has not lost a game of the eight played this season, and because it has won over Peaoock and Boys' High School teams claims the pennant of the northern division, these teams having defeated G. M. A. and Donald Fraser, DISTRICT TRACK AND FELD MEET IS “ON" AT PIEDMONT TUESDAY Rejuvenated Augusta Team Looks Like Strong Bunch A pedal to The Georgian. Augusta, Ga., May 7.—A rejuvenated line-up was presented by Auguata In bar game with Savannah yesterday afternoon, and the change enabled the victory to come to Ranslck with com parative ease. At third base, a position at which the locals have been weak all season, Het- nle Busch, late with Montgomery, ap peared and the playing of the Dutch man pleased the fans and the manage ment. Sandy McKeman, who has been playing this position. Is now on the bench, and will be used as utility man. At first base yesterday Trammell Scott, who was once the star first seek er for the University of Georgia, and who last season played for a month with Jacksonville, appeared, and In hie Initial appearance In an Augusta uni form he showed up well. It Is thought, however, that Scott will be stationed only temporarily at first' base, as Ratrhford has been secured from Mont gomery and wilt probably be a fixture at this station. Dexter, who has been playing first boss since the season opened, has been switched to left field and will probably remain there all sea son, ns he Is batting and fielding well. Captain Maloney, whom Ranslck se cured from Youngstown, Ohio, did not show up well In center field and yes terday received the pink slip. Kustus, who has been playing In left, will go bark to renter, and Dexter will lake hla place In left. One or Augusta'e catchers will have to go, as there are three here. It la probable that Connelly will be the man to receive the tin can. a* Jack Evers and Denny (then will be retained on ac count of their experience. Red Bohan non and Dlerman are playing great ball at second and short, respectively, and Bohannon baa been made captain of the team. The Ditching staff, with the addi tion of Rowan, will be good, as Schop-v Holmes and Thomas have already .shown up well. The work of Grant Schopp haa greatly commended Itself to the fane and the management, as the southpaw has the goods and Is willing to deliver them at all times. May “Golf” Is Out The May Issue of the New York magazine, “Golf,” has made Its ap pearance. The Notes from the South department la of especial Interest this month to lo. cal golfers. It contains pictures of P. T. Marye. Milton Dargan, F. G. Byrd. Clarence Angler, William Glenn, Perry Adair and Fulton Colville, all local players, and a complete description of the Atlanta courae. In addition there are articles on “The Garden City Spring Tournament." "The New Foursome and the Old." "Profes sional Golf," “The United North anu South Championship at Plnehurst,” “The Western Department" and other regular departments. HUSTLERS WIN. The West End Huetlera defeated the S. 8. & B. U. Saturday afternoon with only two of their regular players pres ent. The Hustlers won to the tune of 8 to 7. Fatvey pitched good ball for the Hue. tiers, striking out 12 men and allowing six hits.
