Perry-Devlin Mill May Not Go
Limit, as Both Pack a Wallop
JIMMY PERRY and Tommy
Devlin await the gong At the
Gate City club tonight they
are scheduled to travel over a ten
round route, but both predict that
the mill won't go half that dis
tance. And as both pack a good,
stiff wallop, it is nor unlikely that
there will be a decisive ending be
fore the final session is reached.
Devlin is one of the best mixers
of his weight in the East. He has
cleaned up all the 145-pnunders
around Philadelphia, having earned
awards over Jack Britton and Gro
ver Hayes, and he drew with Ray
Bronson. These battles stamp him
as a top-notcher.
FIVE MATCHES PLAYED
IN COLLEGE TOURNEY
The annual intercollegiate tennis
championship of the South was start
ed on the East Lake courts of the At
lanta Athletic chib yesterday after
noon. The field was small, but, owing
to the graduation of E. V. Carter, Jr.,
■who had the event sewed up as long as
he remained at Georgia, was much
more evenly balanced than usual. Sev
eral singles matches were played yes
terday. The results follow:
Hallman (Tech) defeated Cohen
(Georgia). 6-1. 7-5.
Carter (Georgia) defeated Collins
(Tech), 6-4. 7-5.
Brand (Georgia) defeated Williams
(Tech). 7-5, 6-7.
Goodwin (Georgia) defeated McCar
ty (Tech), 6-2. 6-2.
Hall (Tech) defeated I,anham (Geor
gia). 6-4. 6-1
L. S. U. MAY SIGN FOR
FIVE GAMES WITH T.A.&M.
BATON ROUGE, LA.. May 7.- If
negotiations which are now under way
mature, a five-year football contract
calling for an annual game at the
Shreveport fair between L, S. U. and
Texas A. and M. will be the result.
The only hitch Is whether the arrange
ment win go into effect next fall or in
1913.
Louisiana State's schedule for the
gridiron season has already been com
pleted. but there is one mid-season date
which can be utilized. There is a strong
probability that the two elevens will
meet early in November.
AUTO RUN IN JUNE.
SAVANNAH. GA. May'7.— The an
nual run of the Savannah Automobile
club will be t} summer run this year
because it will probably not be held
until the first or second week in June.
The question of a route is still unset
tled, though it is likely the cars will be
sent through south Georgia. Frequent
and heavy rains have prevented the
sending out of a scout car. The club
is determined to put on the run. even if
it is necessary to delay it until June,
when the heat is much greater than in
May.

CRACKERS FIGHT

MOBILE, ALA., May 7.—The
Atlanta team is going after
today’s game hammer and
tongs. Hemphill "and his men are
desperate and nothing will be
spared that might help to turn the
tide.
Heavy rains last night muddied
up the outfield, where pools of wa
ter now stand, but the sun came
out this morning and there will
doubtless be a game. Paige and
Kerr will probably work for Atlan
ta and Dugan or Borger and Dunn
for Mobile.
Yesterday’s game here was either
won by Captain Star by a steal of
the home plate, or else the umpire
gftve the Gulls a victory on a silver
dish. Y’ou can play this t tune
either way that suits you. ’Man
ager Hemphill will hold most vig
orously that the umpire made a
bum gu»ss when he alleged that
Star stole home, but as the de
cision was against him the affair
was a defeat.

Walter Dußard, the former Tech
football star, while on an outing
last summer around Montreal and
along the St. Lawrence river, was
much impressed by the game of
canoe tilting. According to Mr.
Dußard, this game seems to be the
most popular water sport of that
section, opening as it does a wide
field for exercise for the partici
pants and amusement for the spec
tators.

With the Atlanta pitchers doing
better work now, the team looks
strong. The slight hitting slump
will not last. There isn't a chance.
There are too many tried hitters on
the club. They will get their bat

Hemphill is clearly worried about
his hurlers. His suspension of

THE Georgia Tech baseball series
is in something of a mess. The
idea of Tech and Georgia playing
two games here on Thursday is a
crime. This is bound to be the big
series of the college season in At
lanta. It Is surely entitled to two
days of time. To pile all the At
lanta games into one afternoon
seems a mistake in tactics.
With a little "working up," this
series of’two games at Tech flats
should net more money than all the
others of the season.
It would seem that the sensible
arrangement would be for Tech and
Georgia to play two games on two
days at Tech flats, two in two days
at Athens and then in case of a tie
to play the deciding game at Ponce
DeLeon, which is virtually a neu
tral park.
