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. ....... ——Ai / . . ——.-— — .» ■'■■—■■■■■■ \\ - ■■'■ —-■ ■ 7] rlUra rx!

The Georgian’s Sport Page Water Sport at East Lake ) Z. / Uvi x. r \ 1 ■ ■ J \ CRACKERS FIGHT TOMMIES 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.

WASHINGTON AND LEE IN HOT TIE WITH GEORGIA ATHENS, GA., May 7.—ln the longest, but most exciting game of ball ever play ed on Sanford field, the University of Georgia and Washington and Lee played to an eleven-inning tie. 'lefty '. Moran was pitched against “Kid" Wilder and both were hit hardest when hits counted most.

Miss Alexa Stirling and Mrs. George Harrington will meet today, weather per mitting. in the final round for the Stuart Maiden prize. less than four full games behind the leaders. They are within easy striking distance, and as long as they stay there, even to August 1, they have a chance to win a pen nant. 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 ting stride after a bit. Hemphill is clearly worried about his hurlers. His suspension of Dessau, his efforts to land men from Detroit and the fine-tooth combing of the big leagues is an in dication of this. rjILL SMITH has pulled one on John Dobbs. Dobbs sold Pitch er Bailey to the St. Louis Ameri cans last fall. He failed to make good and Dobbs wanted to buy him . back. The Browns tried to Waive him out of the league, but Detroit refused to waive and took Bailey for the waiver price. They didn't even bother to try him out, but asked waivers on him. got them and sold him to Chattanooga. And thus was J. Dobbs stung. If Bailey cart pitch up to his last In this game a team is composed of two men. One, armed with a lance—padded on the end—stands - astride the gun-wales of the canoe, and endeavors to upset his oppo nent in the same position. The other man maneuvers the canoe, and on him devolves a great amount of the work. He not only plays for position, but does much to balance the craft by the aid of body and paddle. GEORGIA-TECH GAMES SCHEDULE IS SHIFTED ATHENS, GA . May 7.—The Georgia athletic authorities have announced that the dates for the Georgia Tech games have been changed, or at least swapped around It was at first scheduled to ‘plav here Thursday and Friday. May IB and 17. then go tn Atlanta for a double-head er nn May 18. but instead the two teams , plav first in Atlanta on Thursday. May , l fi . and then here on Frida v and Satur ' day. I This is quite an important move. It . was made on account of tfip fact that the Atlanta professional team is to he- at home on May 18. This move is meeting with a great deal of disfavor here, both among the members-of the team, the stu dents and the Athens citizens. Practi cally everybodv in Athens goes over for the Georgia-Tech games, but on account of the fact that they will only have one 1 day to stay, manv will not take the trip Such a decided kick is being made that it may be that they will again have to change the games back as originally scheduled. !

Last year, with a team that lacked a good bit of being the best in the world, he won 17 games and lost 6, which gave him the third place amoijg Southern league pitchers. • • • 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. R • • CTRANGE things have happened this year in the Southern' league. Teams picked to finish “way up” have slumped. Supposed tail-enders are setting the woods afire. But will it last? This is the way tne figure it: Mobile —Strictly a Demaree-.Ta cobson-Starr team. If Demaree re gains his sanity and no more miracles happen, it will go down where it belongs.
