ered of a superior character, but
it was strong numerically. There
were two or three men scrapping
tor every place save that occupied
by Otto Jordan. The task of weed
ing out. the club was, therefore,
one of mote than usual arduous
ness.
But when it came to deciding on
his Shortstop, Bill had a job that
would have balked even the
doughty ( Solomon. There were two
mtn out for the place. The first
was Lou <'astro, veteran of a thou
sand stricken fields, fresh from a
dazzling year with Birmingham,
the champions of that season, and
the prize, comedian of the South
ern league. «
I lie other was Neal Ball, fresh
■ from the bushes, unheard of, un
he.raljled, but who looked a wonder
in spring ptactice.
Atlanta fans’ had pretty well de
tided that Lou was entitled to the
place and all the honors and emol
uments that wetjt therewith. Lou
entered the Southern league two
.wars before with Nashville, ana
when Dixie saw* him perform it
wondered how he had escaped from
the big show. He had played bril
liantly with Nashville. He had
followed suit with Birmingham.
He was expected to repeat with
Atlanta. And then there wa<j the
prestige of his having been .with
the Athletics when they were
champions of the American league,
and as the saying goes, '“anybody
that's good enough for Connie
Mack is good enough for us.”

Field’s stuff and at home with his
personal popularity, for wherever
<'astro goes his friends run into th*
hundreds.
Gn the other hand. Ball was
slight and retiring. He did not
look big enough to hit, though his
pro-season fielding was a revela
tion.
Smith's judgment was Atlanta's
judgment. Castro was kept and
Ball was thought so little of that
he was practically given to the.
Montgomery club. From that time
on Neal was a thorn in Billy’s side.
He not only continued his bril
liant fielding, but hejhit like a fiend.
Before the season was half over, it
was known that Ball would go to
the majors. It was known that
Castro would never be with the
Atlanta club another year.
Ball Showed Flashes Only.
Ball, though, never attained ma
jor league consistency. Flashes of
brilliancy kept him with the Yan
kees for a co.uple of seasons. Then
he was shipped to Cleveland. He
was about ready for the sack in
Napland when he made his famous
unassisted triple play. Again he
was- on tlje rocks and had been
shipped to the Pacific coast when
an injury- to Lajoie necessitated Ips
iecall. He Was finally- traded to
Boston and got his $4,000 world se
ries money for going to the bat
once and fouling, or fanning, or
popping, or something.
And wherp is Castro'.' Why, you
had just as well ask "where’s Jim
Woodward?” He’s in Atlanta, of
course, for the winter, but each
spring; finds him piloting a clul» in
some of the better bush organiza
tionj.

MOTOR DEMONS
CLASH TODAY IT
PIEDMONT
DESPITE the gloom cast in the
camp of the motorcycle
races, caused by the injury
to Hal Gilbert, one of the star
rjders, while practicing on the
Piedmont course, the racers are
prepared to dazzle Atlanta with
their speed in the second meet of
the Atlanta Motorcycle club this
afternoon at 2 o’clock.
For days the riders have been
tuning their machines, for days
they* have been studying the track
and they confidently expect not
only to shatter the track records,
but to hang up some new world
marks.
The track has been rolled and
packed for the meet, and its slow
condition, which rather marred the
last races, will not be in evidence
this afternoon.
The races are absolutely free and
a mammoth crowd is expected on
the natural ampltheater which sur
rounds the race course.
The events will be run as fol
lows:
First—Single cylinder, four
horsepower, amateur.
Second —Single cylinder, four
horsepower, professional.
Third —Twin cylinder, six horse
power, amateur.
Fourth —Twin cylinder. six
horsepower, professionaL
Fifth—Match professional twin,
six horsepower.
Sixth-A-Australian pursuit, free
for all.
NEGRO TEAMS WILLPLAY
TORRID GAME AT PONCEY
No game ever played by negro foot
ball teams in the city of ’Atlanta has
attracted half as much interest as that
between Atlanta Baptist college and
Tuskegee, which will be played this
afternoon at Ponce DeLeon park.
Special provisions will be made for
white spectators and ushers will be pro
vided to assign them to the place re
served for them.
Tuskegee will bring to Atlanta a team
that will average ISO pounds and ex
pects to accomplish something that
hasn’t been done in eight years—de
feat Atlanta Baptist college on Atlanta
grounds.
The local team has lost but two games
in eight years, one to Tuskegee and
the other to Fisk. In eight years the
A. B. C. elevens have piled up over 700
points to 46 by their opponents.
Each team has men who are being
put forward as tlie Ted Coys and the
Lewis Hardages of their race, and there
will be spectacular stuff nulled. The
game will be in charge of officials from
Georgia Tech.

English Allows Motto to Stick Out Ten Rounds
4**4* 4**4* 4**4* 4**4* 4**4* 4**4* 4**4* 4**4* 4**4*
Fans and Promoters Handed a Fine Fake Fight
By Left Hook.
LEMONS —small lemons, me
dium-sized lemons and large
lemons—left a bitter morn
ing-after taste in tile mouths of a
buneh of tight fans at the Dixie
Athletic club.
The main bout was a fake and
the semi-windup was a worse fake.
The battle royal, which started with
five performers, left a winner be
cause the other four scrambled out
of tlie ring when the going got too
hot. The opening preliminary- last
ed one round, but was on tlie level.
Clarence English met Young Mot
to, of Cleveland, New York, Hobo
ken and a dozen other places, in the
main bout. Motto was sent here
as a substitute for Young Otto. He
proved a scream of a joke. English
could 'have knocked him out any
time he desired. But he let Motto
stay so that the latter could get
enough earfare to carry him back
to New •Y’ork.
The club didn’t want to put Mot
to on, but the New Yorker finally
induced the promoters to do so by
agreeing that he wasn’t to get a
cent if he didn’t last the ten rounds.
The innocent promoters were bunk
ed.
Motto undoubtedly had a perfect
understanding witli English. He told
Clarence that it was a long walk
back to the big city and English
saw to it that Motto didn’t have to
hike. But in doing this charity
work English bunked the public,
and lie should be barred from fight
ing here again.
It was a joke fight from start to
finish. Motto didn’t know a bloom
ing thing about boxing, and lie
packed a punch that wouldn’t dent
a hole in a new cheese. English
let him swing both hands ftom the
floor time and again, and only
lauglied as the blows bounced off
his face.
Harry Alaithews, old-time Atlun
| ta catcher, made his debut as ref
eree. Harry did exceedingly well
for the first time, but it’s a cinch
that an experienced official would
liave thrown the fakers out of tlie
ring before the mil! had gone half
the distance.
Spider Britt and Kid York open
ed the bill. It was a pretty affair
for one minute and forty- seconds,
when Spider hooked a wicked right
to the point of the chin that put
York to sleep for fully five min
utes.
, Them they brought on Clarence Col
lins and George Lavelle. These two
lads did a brotherly act that was

YOU NEED S.S.S.
Every sufferer of Rheumatism needs S. S. S. because this great blood pu
rifier is a certain cure for the painful disease. Rheumatism is caused by an
excess of uric acid and other corrosive, irritating impurities in the blood,
which are carried through the circulation to the different portions of the
system. This acrid matter coats the nerves, muscles and joints with a fine,
caustic deposit and the sharp cutting pains or dull, constant aches are pro
duced. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism because it is a perfect blood purifier.
It goes into the blood, neutralizes the acids, and dissolves the irritating
particles and forces them out of the system through the natural excretory
channels. Then all inflammation and swelling subside, the pains and aches
cease, and not only is Rheumatism permanently cured but under the ton
ic effects of S. S. S. the entire health is benefitted and built up. S. S. S.
