PERS IN FINALS. I - • e *'i! ai r< und Lr ihe Stuart i I 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..

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.

I.ast 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 among 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 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.

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.

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.
