i Dearth of Star Middleweights;
Gass in State of Dissolution
By Ed Curley.
NEW YORK. May 9
"There ain’t sich a thing
as a middleweight fighter
i any more." mumbled Battling
Keefe last evening, ‘and the feller?
that’s maskeradin' a? ciaimers for
the title would be arrested and
sent to jail if thev wus any law in
this state.
"Ever since Stanley Ketchel took
the long and final count, tiie poor
middleweight division has been an
orphan It ain’t got no mother; it
Ain’t got no father, and. to be on
the level, it ain’t got nobody to
give it a care. Pretty sad case,
ain’t it?
"Now. jest think. Here comes
Frank Klaus and Jack Dillon from
the coast, where they wus gnin’ to
put the boots to them, and they
poses as champions. They fights at
Madison Square Garden. Most of
the patrons who spent money to
tee that show are going to sue for
the return of th* coin. They're
middle-weights, all right, but not
middleweight fighters
"Then Billy Papke com*s here
after graduating into the 'has been’
class and tells us that he'; now
right and fit to defend the crown.
All I has to say to th A bunch is to
keep mum or some lightweights will
give them a beating."
It certainly looks as if the Bat
tler’s dope is correct Middle
weights are now a drug on the
market. They have been tried for
•everal years, and, with the excep
tion of one or two, have been found
wanting There is more action and
excitement in two lightweights or
two featherweights boxing than in
all the middleweight division
thrown together Some day a real
good middleweight may loom up.
Let's hope so.
It's too bad Mike Gibbons doesn't
weigh eight pounds more and save
the middleweight division from ,|is

To the casual
observer Barr
seems to have
everything that
goes to make a
big leaguer. And
the fact is that
at various times
the Southern
lad has be
longed both to
the Philadel
phia Americans
and to the
Cleveland club.
Somehow h e
doesn't seem to
make a stick of
it, and is al
ways shunted
back to the
Southern.
Atlanta had
him once, but
he cou I d n’t
seem to make
the desired im
pression and
was turned
loose. He has
been kicked
from club to
club, always
looking like a
winner, but
never quite de\
livering until he
has brought up
at the home of
the maverick
players. New
Orleans.
Barr is just
Charley Frank’s
sort of a play
er. He knows
the game and
can be depend
ed upon to go
right along and
play his best,
whether the
team has any
manager or not.
In fact, last
year Frank
once named him
temporary man
ager of the club,
much to Barr’s
fright and dis
gust.

FRESHMEN ARE STARS
IN TECH TRACK MEET
In the annual Tech class track meet
held yesterday the freshmen came out
the winners. The meet was by far the
best and most interesting ever pulled
off lately at the flats. , First one class
then the other would have the lead. The
freshmen rolled up a total of 50 points,
the juniors 41. sophs 40.5, subs 31.5 and
the seniors 28.
The star of the meet was Youmans,
the freshman sprinter. This man won
first in the lf>o. 220 and 441-yard dashes.
Dußnse. for the juniors; Eubanks
and Conklin, for the sophs; Goree, for
the subs, and Guinn, for the seniors,
did the best work of their classes.
The best event of th® whole day was
the 220-yard low hurdles. McDonald
and Eubanks ran a dead heat and were
nose and nose right from the start to
the finish.
TECH TRACK TEAM WILL
COMPETE IN BIRMINGHAM
The Tech track team will leave At
lanta Friday afternoon for Birmingham
to enter the big meet given by the Bir

strong contender for the cup offered the
best college team
It is generally conceded that Hill will
take first place in the dashes. Goree
first in the high hurdles and Patterson
first in the hammer throw The out
come as far as the Tech team is con
t erned will depend on how many second
and third places the other men van pull

Array of Old Stars Preferred
To Collection of Young Cracks
By W. J. Mcßeth.
HASBEENVILLE is gaining
very little in its pitching
population, judging from the
spring census returns. The strength
of several teams in both leagues is
in the box work of their veterans,
and,a number of men supposed to
hold tickets for that station in life
described as Gone-Back are as
sprightly as chickens of current
date and apparently have no in
tention of departing.
If a big league manager had his
pick today between a squad of vet
eran pitchers and a squad of
youngsters, which would he select?
Would he take Marquard. Alexan
der, Gregg. Johnson. Ford and Joe
Wood in preference to Mathew son.
Bender. Plank, Rucker, Coombs and
Walsh? The problem would about
drive him to the home for the men
tally infirm. He would want them
all. He couldn’t work them all. of
course—in fact, if he had either
squad he would suffer an embar
rassment of riches —but he would
most earnestly desire having the
entire bunch sit on his bench, if
only for the purpose of looking
pleasant.
Either crowd, with good support,
would be capable of winning a pen
nant, if they were all in condition
at the same time, but some man
agers are inclined to the belief that
six star pitchers can not be worked
in turn and kept in good condi
tion. True, the average club has
more boxmen than that, but none
of them have more than half that
number of heavers who can be tru
ly called stars, and they figure
themselves lucky.
Matty the Greatest Pitcher.
Baseball men, as a rule, accept
without argument the proposition
that Mathewson is the greatest
pitcher in the world, and they base
it upon the fact that he has been
great for a decade. It seems that
the old followers of the game, while
always willing to admit a young
pitcher’s capabilities whenever he
displays them, do not place a man
in the category of the truly great
until he has established himself by
more than one or two years serv
ice.
Marquard, Alexander and Gregg
are counted wonderful young
pitchers, but they are first year
men. The indications are that they
are truly great, but that stamp will
not be placed upon them by the
baseball world until they have dem
onstrated their fitness for a place
in the hall of fame by longer serv
ice.
Ed Walsh is certainly a great
pitcher. Year after year the big
spltballer has gone along, and stood
all tests. Napoleon Rucker is count
ed a truly great. McGraw, of the
Giants, claims that he is one of the
best left handers of all times, and
he bases it largely upon the fact
that the Southerner has been great
during all the years of his service.
Bender and Plank will have ever
lasting place in the hall of fame.
These, too, established their class—
not one year, but year in and year
out —and there is no indication that
they have commenced to decline.
One of the new generation of
pitchmen who are still regarded
in the light of youngsters, but who
cah not be denied recognition as
among the greatest of his time, is
Walter Johnson, the Washington
speed marvel. There are manj’
people who believe that Johnson is
the best pitcher in the country to
day—but that sort of proposition
would always provide a long argu
ment.
Jack Coombs is not so much of a
veteran as some of the others
named with him. but he is no
youngster, from the standpoint of
service, and what he has done for
the world’s champion Athletics
A tireless car —almost.
Prisoners of “here” find free
dom in the Ford. It’s the
always-at-your-service car—
and a real tire trouble eman
cipator—for it puts more tire
surface on the ground per
pound of car than any other.
And we’re making seventy
five thousand this year.

gives him the right to be men
tioned with the greatest of the
great.
Marquard and Gregg, left hand
ers, have had two great first years,
and both have started with every
indication of repeating. There is
no question as to their class. The
same is true of Alexander, although
he is off to a poor start this season.
But will they be still regarded as
great five years from now? The
chances are in favor of the affirma
tive. They are young: they have
the natural ability. The rest is up
to them.
Baseball men will tell you that
no matter how much ‘stuff" a
young pitcher may have he can not
be truly great until he has had the
experience that makes him wise.
"Bugs” Raymond was a man who
“had everything.” in his particu
lar line, but will the eccentric
heaver ever be named in the fu
ture as among the great pitchers
of this decade? Will he ever be
mentioned in the same breath with
Mathewson, Bender. Plank and
Walsh?
Ford and Wood Rank High.
Russell Ford, of the Yankees, and
Joe Wood, of the Boston Red Sox,
are acknowledged great yoftng
pitchers. Ford has had one splen
did year, and has pitched con
sistently good ball, even when los
ing. In picking out a list of the
best heavers in the game today,
many would hesitate before leav
ing off the name of Wood.
The promise of the present holds
a future of greatness for such com
parative unknowns as "Bucky”
O’Brien, Marty O'Toole. George Ty
ler, Hugh Bedient, Claude Hendrix.
Joe Steen. George Beaumgardner.
Elmer Brown, Rube Benton, Jeff
Tbsreau, "Lefty” Allen. Casey Ha
german and half a dozen others.
They may be the Mathewsons.
Benders, Planks. Coombs and
Walshes of another era, but the
old baseball man who was trying
to win a pennant would probablj
just as soon have a Mordecai
Brown, or. a Bill Donovan, or a
George Mullin around as several
of these fellows of future promise.
