Otto Jordnn nnd Bill Shnrp loom up in the light of public
liMiofactorfi m offering baseball indoors as a winter menu in
Atlanta. Barring basket ball, this has been an alarmingly dull
sporting winter in Atlanta.. There has been no boxing. There
have been no indoor sports of any sort—save only the before-
mentioned basket ball, and that doesn’t fill all requirements,
Baseball in the Auditorium should bo the real thing, and
no doubting it. There is pleuty of room there, comfortable
soats, heat, and all conveniences. The price of admission is
low, and the fans will undoubtedly patronize it.
The time is coming when the Auditorium-Armory is going
to be used more and more for indoor sporting events. There was
a scheme for a big public track and field meet there this
year, but it fell thru. The Fifth regiment also planned an in
door meet, and may have it yet.
But next year there should be a big indoor meet along in
January or early February. It would take a little money to
float the scheme, but in a year or so it would become a pay
ing event. Almost anything that can be done outdoors can he
done inside the Auditorium-Armory. Doubtless if somebody
would- spring an indoor football game there some time, it might
be a hit, altlio this game has never adapted itself very readily
to production elsewhere than on college fields.
The really big possibility, tho, is for baseball indoors. If
the thing can be made financially successful this year, there is
no doubting but that a good number of baseball players of tbp-
noteli importance in the major leagues will bo brought to At
lanta for next winter, and these men will take part in the
winter games.
As they will play only indoors in a well-heated building,
there will be no dnnger to their valuable arms. As they will
play on dirt Hours and with regular spiked shoes, there will be
no danger of accidents.
Another possibility would be for the formation of winter
leagues among the amateurs. According to present plans, an
improvement will be installed at the Auditorium that will make
it possible to get the regular floor out of the way at small
expense. It will also be arranged so that the present tier of
boxes can be yanked out, giving vastly more playing space. A
top-notch amateur or semi-professional league eoiild be formed.
As all the games would be at night, there would be no in
terfering with business, and the affair should have the support
of employers as well as employees of the houses that usually
go in for baseball.

On the whole, this indoor baseball stuff has all sorts of
possibilities. On Wednesday we shall 'have our first chance of
seeing if it is going to live lip to them. Nobody who has fol
lowed the wonderful progress of the game in the East doubts
at all but that it will.

Chleaoo. Jan. JO.—Another scandal In
Solving the management of the Chicago
National league club, better known as
the Cubs, has arisen to btacken further
the r.nmo of baseball In Chicago and to
detract from the glory of tho achieve
ments of Prank L. Chance and bis men
mi tho held.
Again the source of the scsndsl Is the
h"« office, which appears In the case of
•he management of the West Side club
*;• take precedence over the diamond.
This time It Is a matter of canceled
checks sent In payment for tickets to
he world's championship series between
'he Chicago and Philadelphia .clubs. It la
charged, presumably by August Herr
mann, chairman of the national commie-
*h»i. that patrons sent checks to pur
chase tlckou; that the tickets wen not
'em to them, but that the checks were
easlmd and the money used—In what
manner, of course, Is not stated.
Herrmann Hits st Club Officials.
The alleged act is larceny In iom» de-
g'ee Mr. Herrmann. In Investigating;
hints that certain persons connected
Mr. Herrmann himself before the eerie*
announced positively that the national
commission would handle all tleketa and
money In the series, and that '‘certain
persons of tha Chicago club" would not
be permitted to touch either. Under his
new statement apparently certain persona
of the Chicago club did touch tickets,
money or cheeks.
The new scandal Is of little interest
except to those persons who sent mon
ey and failed to receive either the tick
ets or the money In return. It ta the
fact of the periodical recurrence of acan
dal that makes It noticeable. The base-
hall loving public of Chicago long hat been
weary of the scandals of the Chicago Na
tional league club, and now Is nauseated.

Jackson, Miss., Jan. 30.—George Ca
rey. the famous "scooper," will probe,
bly ho the pilot for the Jackson team
this season. The deal for Carlos Smith
teems to be all but off. and Secretary
Lewis Is trying to get in direct touch
with the old Baltimore first sacker.
Carey Is In Memphis, where ho an
nounced his retirement some time ago,
but It seems that he la willing to re
turn to the game, provided Jackson
will make It sufficiently Interesting for
him. Carey, after leaving the big
shoVv, took a turn at first far Memphis,
where he played several years with
Babb. After being let out by Memphis,
Carey was manager of the Elythvllle
team In the Arkansas league last sea
son.
Carlos Smith Is the property of Aus
tin, In the Texas league, but Taxoo City
and Hattiesburg are after him, and
8mlth has promised. If he can occur*
his release from Austin, to pilot the
Woodpeckers this year. Gear wants s
cash bid for Smith, and Secretary
Lewis will not give up coin for him. as
It looks as tho Gear Is trying to get a
good price for the man by having Jack,
son, Hattiesburg and Yasoo City bid
against each other for his services
And Smith, by the way. seems to
have been tampering with Blankenship,
the Mississippi college player, who
agreed on terms with Jackson some
time ago. Smith coached the Missis
sippi college team last year and con
siders Blankenship one of the most
promising youngsters he has seen for
some time, consequently he la anxious
to get this man.
The release of Forrest Plass. former
Memphis player, did not come as a sur
prise to the fans >.f this city. He
signed several months ago, but atnee
signing with Yaxoo City he has nc-
qutred a half Interest! In another club,
of which he will be the manager and
play second base, i
This explains why Taxoo City Is

New Orleans. La., Jan. 30.—The Peli
cans, champions of 1110, will doubtless
go to the post next April favorites tor
the third successive year.
Tho they have lost Joe Jackson and
Frank Manush, two of the very strong
factors In their w-lnnlng lost year. Man
ager Frank has been gradually
strengthening his machine until It Is
Just ns strong this season as It was last.
What the Pels may lack In the out
field, with Jackson's absence, they will
probably make up In tha pitching staff.
The Pelicans were strong In pitchers
last yetr, but at that there were sev
eral backsets In this .particular depart
ment. One of these wAs the failure of
Hert Maxwell to round to form, and an
other was the slownean of Theodore
Breltensteip In showing the form that
later In the season proved that Theo
was Just ns much of a bear with hit
old southpaw as ever.
Manager Frank thinks he has gath
ered the best pitching staff for the com
ing aeoson that he has ever had. Here
Is the pitching line-up:
Otto Hess. George Paige, Theodore
Breltensteln and Bert Maxwell, of Inst
year’s crew; Al Klawlttcr, last season
with Memphis; Bill Graham, formerly
of Shreveport, St. Louie, Chattanooga
nnd Macon, nnd Sant Lanford, who led
the Carolina association'! pitchers In

Best Basket Baft Bout of Year
Is Captured by A. A. C. Players
By LEONARD H. GRAVES.
Were you amonit the hundreds that
attended the Atlanta Athletic club-BIr-

Itamo Saturday night at the A. A, C.7
If you weren't, then you had the mis
fortune to miss the finest and faeteat,
cleverest and classiest and most excit
ing game seen In Oils city In years.
The game was a .spectacular one
throughout nnd any one's game from
the beginning to the flnlsh.
The Atlanta boyi won by such a etoso
margin that the spectators were even
afraid to breath* hard for tear they
might spoil the chances of the home
team. The final score gave Atlanta the
big end of the deal by a space of 2
points, the final score reading thusly:
Atlanta A. C.. 19; Birmingham A. C., 17.
"Believe me.” kind render, this battle
reminded one of the encounter In the
days of old between the Monitor and
the Merrlmac, only worse - and more
of It.
Both teams struggled and tussled for
victory every minute of play, and each
quintet let loose steam and strength
galore, mixed with science and oklllfut-
ncss by the train loads. There.was no
letup nnd the chaps that competed In
the activities nf the night were "some
tired" after the struggle.
Thero hnve been seen mighty big
crowds at the local club, but tne crowd

If not In number. Mitchell didn't get
much chance last season, but he was a
failure In what little he did. The Dutch
man lost a great asset In Jim Lnfltte,
the fireman-catcher, who will be with
Billy Kmlth'a Chattanooga tram next
season. But If Frank lost n good man
In Laffttr, he surely annexed a good
one In Dock Johnston, for whom ha
traded Lafltte.

Birmingham disaster.
Birmingham started out at the blow
of tho whistle like an auto that was
going for a world's record, and the
burst of speed took the onlookers and
opposing players by surprise, and they
succeeded In turning the flanks of the
locnl army and In scoring a couple of
field gonls and a foul goat

he will shape up his Infield. The only
four Inffelders be has garnered so far
are Johnston, Joe Pepe and the two
standbys, George Rohe and BUI Lind
say. Rohe will probably play second,
l.lndesy will remain at short and Pepe
will probably play third. This It a spot
one end of the floor to the other for
many minutes, whan at last an Atlnn-
tan discovered the goal and stuck tha
sphere In. thus taking tha lead. The
half ended then and the score read:
Atlanta, (; Birmingham. T.
Each learn laid up 3 fouls apiece In
the opening round, which marred the
game a bit. After the rest between the
halves, the llne-ut> of the home team
was slightly changed. Tommy Atkls-
«on, the captain of tho home team, took
Falvey'a place at right forward, while
the visitors’ line-up remained tho same.
In this second half the greatest ex
citement prevailed. Tho Atlanta boy.
started things off In a scurry, only to ho
tied within a short period. The team,
wera tied for honors four times In this
second period by the .l ores of 12-ie-is-

end, and you bet It was a light to the
flnlsh. Tommy Atklsson. who threw
tho winning goal, had barely stepp' d
aside after he tossed the bolt In tho
basket when tho whistle blew for "time
up." nnd It was an Atlanta victory.
Tha rooters swarmed the field as If
