We have heard so much about the agitation in favor of the
game law of late that wo are sure one will be passed at the
coming session of the legislature. Yes we are not.
The gun and powder lobby and the pot hunters are al
ways on the legislative job while the true sportsmen sleep.
And naturally Georgia hasn’t any game law worth men
tioning and what there is of one isn’t enforced.
Did yon ever, in a poker game, hold two pair eleven
times running against three of a kindt
Did you ever, ip school or in college, prepare your les
sons five days and not get called on and then fail to prepare
them on the sixth and get busted wide opent
Did you ever take your vaention in the middle of an appar
ently endless drought and get rained on seven days in a rowf
In fact, did lucjc ever combine with your own failings to
spill you day after day after day!
It has happened to all of us. And apparently it is hap-
• pening to the Atlanta club.
We still hold to the belief that it is a good team. But
we can't prove it.
It ought to be in the first division and it’s going to get
there before long. You can’t, hold a good bunch down.
The Crackers got a world of knocking in Friday’s game
from, a small but noisy lot of men. It was noted after the
game that this lot of knockers paid out money. Obviously
they had bet on Nashville. •
There is a lot too much of this paying off of bets in the
Atlanta stands these days. The association ought to stop it.
“Give the children more dancing and more baseball,” says
Bureau of Recreation of thq New York City department of
parks. We pass the dancing part, not elniming any expert
knowledge along that line, but we are right there with the
loud “amen” as to the baseball. Give the boys baseball.
Or, to be more specific, give them baseball parks and they will
furnish the playing. -i
Atlanta has made a good start in this direction and the cjty
has some corking grounds. But it is only a start. The city
ought to buy somo more good grounds now that there are
some places which can bo secured at a reasonable price.
The time to get park sites is before they are all built on.
And park sites are just the' places for good ball grounds.

With Friday's games the Public
School league brought to a close Its
schedule for the season, a season which
has proved eminently successful In
every way.
For the first time In the history of
Atlanta the city’s public schools have
been banded together In an amateur
baseball association which has not only
stood ths test of public aproval, but
which would reflect credit on any city
of the land. The league has stood for
fair play and a square deal from the
very first, and the result haa been the
development of eight .fast team* which
have put up the cleanest, hardest sort
In the North Bide section Calhoun
school Is first In ths race for the pen
nant. This team went thru the season
with but a single defeat, and won most
of Its games by decisive scores. The
team has some first-class players on
Its line-up, foremost among whom are
Reynolds, Harrison. Brooks, Barnes
and Schanr. This club wil put up a
strong bid for the city championship.
Luckle and Tenth, the next two In
line, are about on a par In the quality
of their player*. Both teams have good
men, and either would make a fine
showing In the contest between the
second teams In both sections. State,
while copping the booby prise on thej
The only Criticism to be found with
the north side teams Is the frequency
with which they forfeited to each other.
Calhoun was the only one of the four
which seemed to escape the "cold
feet."
On the south side. Formwait finishes
first with an .313 per cent Thl* team
had to battle hard for the pennant, as
both Fraser and Crew had teams al-
mAt Its equal In strength. Indeed, the
race on the south aide was neck and
neck right up to the finish, for even
Inman Park came forward with on
unexpected aprint on the home stretch.
The Formwait team haa some good
players—Sutton, a star twlrler; Wal
lace, the backstop, and Gerlock.
Fraaar also numbers some crack ball
toaaera an tta line-up, foremost among
whom are Robertson, Mahon and Les-
eey. Craw's stars are Johnston, Rog
ers, Sullivan and Sparks, while Wlall
and Sheldon shine for Inman Park.
Interest now centers on the three-
game series which takes place between
the champions of both sections on May
I, 8 and 8. Both teams arc looking
eagerly forwaiti to these contests, and
each Intend* to give the other a battle
royal. Forma-alt will probably pitch
Sutton In the first game, while Calhoun
may. use Reynold*.
The tie game between Crew and Fra.
ser was played off Thursday, resulting
in a victory for Fraser by the score
of 10 to 3.
Friday's game came out as follows;

BURMAN WAS GOING SOME.
It Is difficult for the mind to realise
the wonderful speed attained by Bob
Burtnan when he made a mile In 25.40
second* at Daytona, with Firestone
tires on his Blltsen Ben*. This Is a
new world's record that Is likely to
stand for a long time anil means a
speed of 141.73 miles an hour. It again
shows that the motor ear ha* no se
rious rival as a speed agent
The new mark Is Just ten miles an
hour better than Barney Oldfield's beat
record, and Is the fastest speed yet at
tained by man. At this rate Burman
and his Firestone tires would cover the
route from Chicago to New York In
six hours and 53 minutes, compared to
which the eighteen houre of the Twen
tieth Century Limited look* slow In
deed.
