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.” Count Was Full of Ginger.

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. G. H. S.

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. HARRY SILVERMAN'S] 'Bohemian Restaurantj - 11 ~=r Gentlemen’s Grill Room Delicatessen Shop . , .

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 so raw Mike Saul, who refereed, Tin- dapper young announcer threatened to throw ’em both over gave out tlie information that on the ropes. Seeing that they- couldn’t Thanksgiving day Carl Morris and get along with their farce, Collins.
