NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS By Percy H. Whiting

you can not but admire the indomitable pluck of the Tech
teams. So matter how badly they are shot to pieoea they
keep gamely on.
Baseball practice goes steadily and hopefully on at Tech
now. despite the loss of three wonderfully good players, and
notwithstanding some awful weather. Tho 25 players have been
dropped from the squad, there arc no less than 35 candidates
),>ft, and a lot -of them are good players.
Barring any more earthquakes, Tech will have a pretty
fair team this year anyhow.

If the weather man will only kindly favor Atlanta with a
little good weather, the Ponce DeLeon diamond will be done
in good time for the opening of practice March 1. Of course,
wilh the thermometer retired in the bottom of the tube as it
„ow is, diamond building doesn't progress very fast. But. of
course, tiiis Arctic stuff can't last forever. It will surely begin
to thaw some by May or June.
going to ask that the Southern league salary limit he boosted i
$100 a year.
Note this from Vorner .Tones, of The Nashville Banner:
r*. Whiting:, of The Georgian, states that The Banner sport scribe is
bar kill* on the wrong trail "lien it I* intimated that Atlanta* !h anxious to
have tho lid raised on the salary limit pot. Ho say.* this is not tho case, but
that the salary limit will surely stick for this year. Perce Ignores the fact,
however, that Atlanta. If report bo true, has been signing up men that un
known not to bo within reach this year should the salary limit be adhered
to. Should the present arrangement lie adhered to The Banner scribe
would like to offer the Informal prophecy that there will bo some further
news of interest from the Georgia capital regarding tho signing of formerly
high-priced performers. If not at the time, then later.
A lot of the Atlanta baseball players will begin to assemble
j« Hot Springs about. March 1 for a preliminary boiling out
and working out. Tommy McMillan will go over with Otto
Jordan, and so will other players wintering in Atlanta.
To the initiated there is .something amusing in the alarm,
bordering on panic, felt by Nashville (and, 4 perchance, Nashville
moguls as well) because of the rumor that the Atlanta club is
Now, how Ibis panic, started was thusly;
After the Soul hern lengne agreed on the salary lini-
it. President Ilcisman, of the local club, came to the conclusion
that if the league moguls would boost that amount just $100. it
would make it more Hum proportionately easy to pay the ball
players satisfactory salaries. So !*■ wrote a few letters, sound
ing among others tl(e IVateli Dog of the Southern League Treas
ury, Ferd Kuhn, of Nashville. Kuhn was violently opposed to
the change, and said so. After thinking if over, Mr. Heisman
decided that it would be bard to get the ante raised, and not
earing much anyhow, dropped the movement. He neglected,
however, to allay the fears of Nashville that its team might
cost $100 more a month. Hence the agitation.
And anyhow, V. Jones, what do you care! Il doesn’t
come out of voitf salary. ,
And talking about Nashville, the champion bidder, (I.
Hire, of Tho Tennessean, lias recently uncorked this one:
Percy Whiting, commenting on Hentell# joining the (Tucket* fold, sug
gest# that this deni will suit, "as the best Is always good enough for At
lanta.” That's a new one on us. .We always had a hunch that it took a
shade better than the best to wiggle along without reproach in thnj cita
del. If .Percy Isn't more careful In tlie future some one is likely to call him
harshly for lowering the set standard or motto of his township.

Now York. Fob, 19.—Just by way of
pouring another libation of gusoline on
the burning question of the day and
in order;to light up the subject of dop
ing tho .coming winner of the heavy
weight** battle, let it be said that dope
is useless and the man who complies it
wustes his time. With this thought
firmly clinched In. the mind, we pro
ceed us follows, to wit:
It Is no use. when doping two fight
ers. to waste time figuring on men who
have not been common opponents. In
figuring Jeffries as compared with
Johnson there Is an excellent line on
Jeffries, tho beginner, because when n
beginner he fought some of the men
who afterward fought Johnson, when
Johnson whs every'folt as good os he is
now. if not better.
Each man had eight fights with
common antagonists and In every single
case tho advantage lies with tho white
man.
Going bock lo the first common an
tagonist, we light upon tho meek and
lowly mulatto gent, Henry Griffin,
otherwise and better known as Hank
or “Raineses III.” They called him
Raineses because he looked about as
old as Ram and probably was. He was
fighting before the Civil war. accord
ing to rumor, and he had three sons In
the Soldiers’ Home, but for all that
Henry Ramescs was some battler.
Y-e-s, Indeed!
About the time that Henry Ramesrs
Griffin was at his best and was fight
ing just as often as ho could get any
one to meet him In the ring, Los An
geles sports began to talk about the
big kid who worked with Sam Speedy
on one of the Lacy tank building gangs.
The East Side,- where this big kid
lived, was willing to go broke that it
had a local heavyweight champion,
"22f» rxpnds and all meat,” as they
used to state with pride. Some of tho
local fight fans grew interested and the
youngster was invited to work in a
gymnasium and give people it line on
him. He stripped s/> much like a bear
that a private battle was arranged an.t
Henry Rani. Griffin was selected as the
old trial horse. Jeff told me about that
fight when he was last in New York, i
It was a fine description of a battle.
“I kn»s ked Hank out in fourteen j
rounds, maybe fifteen,” was tlie way |
Jeff told it. He didn't say anything
about tlie fearful lacing old Ranieses j
handed him before tho punch came j.
over, but a man w ho saw that fight j
told me that Jeff didn’t lay a glove on !
the crafty old campaigner until ho land- j
ed the one punch that stopped the fight,.
and when It did go over—good night! •
Several years later, when Jeff was th»!
champion of the world, he appeared In,

In the ring on the afternoon of July 4.
1910.
Who is it going to be?
Very possibly It will be Jim Corbett.
Just because Jeffries twice whipped
Corbett is no reason why Jim should
not be able to give Jeff some advice
which will help him against the black
man. It might as well bo admitted
right now that nt the game of analyz
ing another man’s style and devising
ways of blocking the fighting plan of
an opponent, no cleverer man than Jim
Corbett ever stepped Inside the rope*.
Jim was The Great Clrcumventer. He
met several men who could have drop

the night of the fight Corbett’s arms,
from wrist to elbow, were solid as lead
and .fust about as hard, und he etomied
Jackson’s smashing delivery without
wincing.
Corbett Is still the pre-eminent the

would he worth having, and Corbett
is capable of mapping out a simple
style of battle, easy to follow, elemental
in its execution, which ought to over
match any thinking which will be done
