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,
Du Bard, 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.

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-tootn
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 can 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
\THENR. 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 play
here Thur, dax • and Fridax. May IR and
17. then go to Atlanta for a double-head -
<••!■ on May IS, but instead the two teams
play first in Atlanta on Thursday. May
IR. and then here on Fridav and Satur
day.
This is quite an important move. It
was made on Account of the fact that the
Atlanta professional team is to bp at
home on Max IS. 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
eaily everybody in Athens goes over for
the Georgia Tech games, but on account
"■f the fact tba* they will only have one
day to stav. many will n<n take the trip
Such a do '»ded kick Is being made that
it may be that they will again have to
•wgo the games back as originally
scheduled

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 hound 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 on® 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 woulrt 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.

CTRANGE things have happened
this year in the Southern
league. Teams picked to finish
"way up" have slumped. Supposed
tail-emiers are setting the woods
afire. But will it- last? This is the
way- me figure it :•
Mobile —Strictly a Demaree-Ja
cobson-Starr team. If Demaree re
gains his . sanity and no more
miracles happen, it will go down
where it belongs. Mike Finn is
always a good starter —a relic of
hfe springing days, maybe—but he
doesn’t usually finish well. The

“Sometimes a dozen or more
teams," says Mr. Dußard, “enter a
contest and by the survival of the
fittest are gradually reduced to
two.”
The possibilities of pleasure to be
derived from the game was demon
strated yesterday by Mr. Dußard
and some friends at East Lake.

year Mobile wins a pennant Harry
Johns will outbat Ty Cobb.
Memphis- A little too high right
now. Has some pitching strength,
some brilliant fielders and.a couple
of useful hitters. It is hardly a
first division club, though. Its chief
strength lies in its manager. He’s
there, all sixteen ways.
Chattanooga—Just a shade bet
ter now than it will finish. It is a.
determined, scrapping club. The
combination of Bill Smith and Otto
Jordan is a hard one to beat. It’s
a lightweight team, though, and
hasn’t the batting ■or pitching
strength to be a contender
Birmingham—lt isn’t likely to
finish worse than it is'now. and if
it gets its stride»it will run a lot of
’em off their feet. Has a well bal
anced club. Molesworth is a prfitty
wibe manager and he has a stout
backer. We still b' lit-ve he will
win the pennant.
Atlanta -A puzzle, but v.c like It.
It isn’t doing itself Just” ? no : .
Watch it when the u eather warms
up. It is made up ' r yet®’ in pli,’-
ers, who ought to get better in 1
better as the season ad’vanrcs. It
has the beat manager of them all.
Montgomery—Better than it lo-’ s
now. Wil’ h® in the fi-rb'ir; if i*
has luck. Isn’t destined tn .’’nisi
1-2, however, but vyill be trouble
some.
Nashville -Not the best in the
world—but better t b: 'n <n eirh*h
place team. Bill Schwartz Is a
clover and resourceful manager. He
has some fair players. Catching
weakness, with Elliott hurt, has
handicapped him, and tile Jinx has
been on his trail. The Vols will
trouble the best of ’. m yet. and
should not finish worse than fifth.
New Orleans—'■’harlr'. Frank
.probably Jc sn't want a pennant.
But he doesn't want to finish 1 rst
and .’.ill not. Watch the Pelicans
cljmb after a bit. It isn't great
club, but it's better than it looks
now. and Frink will strengthen
enough to hoist it.
