■iHE Crackers of 1913 haven’t any
sense at all.
Here they, go, winning a ganje
a day and never
losing any at a
And the flrs^
thing they know
they’ll break up
the league and
all be out of a
job.
Never before
did such a fool
hardy collection
of athletes play
in a Southern
League town.
And never be
fore did a team
get such a start
as Atlanta has
made.
Five in a row
and nothing in
sight to indicate that they aren’t
going to make It five more!
And all because Bill Smith has
gathered unto Atlanta the gosh ding-
dest ball club that ever wielded bat
snd ball In old Dixk Major.
The way the Crackers promise right
now to walk away with the pennant
will make the memory of that won
derful Pelican team of Yellow fever
year pale Into mauve insignificance.
KTT my pitchers come through," re-
marked Col. William Andrew
Smith prior to the opening of the
season, “you can say for me we have
a. ball club.”
Well, the pitcher* are coming
through—BIG.
Look over the pitchers and the hits
they have allowed this season.
Against Chattanooga, April 10—9.
Against Chattanooga, April 11—5.
Against Chattanooga. April 12—2.
Against Birmingham, Monday—4.
Against Birmingham, yesterday—2.
Think over these facta:
The vaunted and vaunting Barons,
including that prince of sluggers, Bill
MoGilvray, have acquired six hits in
two games.
In five games Cracker pitchers have
• 'lowed an average of 42-5 hits a
game.
In two games Gilbert Price has
given up 7 hits, an average of 3 1-2
to a game.
DILL SMITH’S pitchers have started
coming through. Of course w hat
they do in the opening days of the
season, with weather conditions
awful, is not conclusive.
But bless ’em, they all look mighty
good.
If they continue coming Bill Smith
will make a fright of the pennant
race.
Ordinarily all Bill Smith asks is a
smart fielding team, pitchers and one
man who can hit the ball. Well, he
has the smart fielders and the use-
ful pitchers, AND ON TOP OF THAT
SIX DANGEROUS HITTERS.
Will he win the pennant?
Maybe not, of course. But look
"hat a start he will make!
A lot of managers are superstitious
about winning early games. Bill
Bernhardt made a great start last
year and kicked about It. He said
it was bad luck.
Bill Smith is about as superstitious
«s a Belgian block. “All the games
we win now go to our credit. If they
come easy now so much the better.
They may not be coming so easy in
August. Go to it.”
And the club is going.
f) LD BILL FOXEN, who hadn't lost
a game to Atlanta since he was
fired by the Crackers, and charged
with being a "lay--down,” took a de
feat yesterday. He was beaten in
the first inning and murdered in the
elxth. In the seventh he retired in
favor of Car] Thompson.
And let it be said of Foxen, those
heat informed have never believed the
"lay-down” charge. He was hooked
hp with one of the worst teams of all
civilized baseball. Mathewson, John
son. Marquard, Rucker and Rube
Waddell, the best day he ever lived
would have looked like lay-downs
with the Crackers of 1911.
But anyhow the fans have never
forgiven Bill and they hooted with
cad sportsmanship and high glee yes
terday when Molesworth yanked hie
former star and sent In Thompson.
Then the Crackers, to show that
they weren’t holding anything against
Foxen, romped over Thompson as
they had romped over the ex-Cub.
It took an adding machine to get
if all straightened out at the con
clusion of the festivities, at which
time it was officially determined that
the Bcore was 11 to 0 in favor of At
lanta.
Price pitched a marvelous game
hits were made off his delivery,
•tnri they were clean ones. But that
was all. At no fime did there appear
a nv particular likelihood that a Baron

COLUMN *
F REDDIE WELSH, English lightweight champion, and Joe Thomas, the
most promising young lightweight in this neck of the woods, will
probably meet at the Auditorium-Armory on Monday night, May 12.
Thomas has already accepted terms, but the Briton wants a trifle more
than has been offered him. It’s a cinch, however, that both boys will have
affixed their John Hancocks to articles within the next two or three days.
This match will be by far the most classy one ever held on these
shores. Thomas has beaten everybody that he has faced here, including
Frank Whitney, Eddie O’Keefe and Yankee Schwartz. And he has made
Joe Mandot “crawl.” Mandot doesn't want any of Thomas' game, and
absolutely refuses to meet him.
Welsh has lost but one battle since he started fighting. That was
when Matt Wells won the English lightweight title from him, February
27, 1911. But Freddie won the crown back from Wells last November.
Right now Welsh is here seeking a battle with Willie Ritchie for the
championship of the world. Ritchie has been dodging the match, but it's
a cinch that the American and the Englishman will hook within the next
few months in a twenty-round bout on the Pacific Coast.
Welsh has fought McFarland to a standstill three times, and Packey
can't be coaxed in the ring with him over a route. Freddie defeated
Ritchie just before the champion defeated Wolgast. That's probably the
reason that Ritchie is trying to dodge the issue right now.
The English lad lias also defeated the following: Grover Hayes,
Jimmy Duffey, Matty Baldwin, Jem Driscoll. Pal Moore, Henry Piet, Young
Josephs, Johnny Summers, Phil Brock, Jack Goodman, Johnny Frayne:
knocked out Ray Bronson, Abe Attell, Young Erne, George Memsic, Young
Donahue; stopped Harry Trendall, Johnny Murphy, Charley Neary, Maurice
Sayers, Dave Deshler, Willie Fitzgerald, Tommy Feltz, Willie Moody and
many others.
This will be the first time Atlanta lias had of seeing a champion in
action. But he is likely to find Joe Thomas the toughest young man
he ever faced.
T HOUGH the men are making the middleweight limit for the contest,
the French promoters are advertising the battle on April 29 between
Frank Klaus, of Pittsburg, and Georges Carpentier, of France, as being
for the middleweight championship of the world. The French evidently
do not pay any particular attention to the matter of poundage. If the
contestants in a battle are within reaching distance of a certain figure
they are satisfied to believe that a contest can be made for the title in
that division.
Soon after Billy Papke, of Kewanee, Ill., made Georges Carpentier stop
after going seventeen rounds, Carpentier announced that the weight of
160 pounds defeated him, and that henceforth he would not attmept to
make it. He isn't trying it for Klaus, either, yet the men are supposed to
be milling for the middleweight title. It’s a strange situation.
F ROM the latest reports from Paris, the news that Papke had been
barred for six months for alleged foul work in the Klaus fight must
have originated in this country. It appears now that the French pro
moters begged Billy Papke to remain theie and make some more battles
during the spring months. They asked him to box Carpentier in May
and Klaus in June, but the condition of Papke's hand would not permit
of his making these contests, and hence he returned to America to rest
until next fall, or possibly make one or two battles around here. From
this it is evident that there never was any serious talk of suspending
Billy for six months or any other length of time for what happened in
the Klaus battle.
J OHNNY COULON only smiles at the way Sammy Harris, of New York,
is talking about taking his bantamweight title away from him unless
he signs up to fight Kid Williams, of Baltimore, in thirty days. Johnny
came out of his shell long enough the other day to smile some more and
say a few things about the Eastern pair. “Harris need not fear that his
man isn’t going to get a battle with me." Johnny writes. “But I am
going to proceed carefully, and intend to take on several minor engage
ments before dabbling with Williams or Campi or any of the real good
ones of the class. The floods set my plans back quite a little, as I had
at least three matches in sight in that section of the country. Of course,
they are off now. But I am going to pick up some others, and after I am
through with them, I’ll talk to Mr. Harris.”
G UNBOAT SMITH didn't knock out George Rodel in the second
meeting last week, but ho gave the Boer a trouncing that he won t
forget We glean from some of the stories of the contest that though
Smith knocked Rodel down five times he merely "shaded” him. For
the love of Mike, whatever could Rodel have done to stand off those
five Brodies that he did to the canvas? And what do New York fight
critics expect a man to do to actually win by a safe margin instead of
merely "shading" an opponent?
p. An M’KETRICK, now handling Frank Moran, the Pittsburg heavy-
weight, is campaigning wildly for a match for his man with G.
Smith The latter bested Moran in a twenty-round battle on the Coast
when Moran they claim, was ill and far from being at his best. Dan
is some dandv little booster for his man, and if he doesn’t force Smith
into a return match, ho can at least credit himself with making a super
lative effort.

IN FIFTEENTH
L OS ANGELES, CAL., April 16.—
Once again little "Kayo" Brown
lay on the floor of the ring here
last night, blinking blindly at the arcs
above him, when his finish came.
Brown, the real “iron man” of “he
boxing game, was beaten by “Bud"
Anderson in the fifteenth round, after
taking a prolonged whipping, one
sufficient to have tamed a whole
menagerie.
Referee Eyton stopped the one
sided contest when it became ap
parent that "Dumb Dan" Morgan In
tended seeing his boy "slabbed 1 ' In
preference to acknowledging an hon
est defeat by tossing In the sponge.
From beginning to end Brown was
but a punching bag for the clean-
hitting Anderson.
Anderson actually wore himself to
a state bordering on exhaustion by
his rapid-fire execution. At long
range ‘Bud’’ kept tilting Brown off
his balance. In the clinches he placed
jabs and solid thumps to the head,
the body and kidneys.
The first knockdown came in the
thirteenth, “Kayo” getting up without
waiting for a count. Three times in
the fourteenth he was knocked down
for the full count. In the fifteenth
he sprawled on the floor twice while
Eyton was counting and watching
for a signal of surrender from Brown’s
corner. With the third knockdown
Brown had been beaten to a state
of helplessness and the referee, with
a scornful look In the direction of
“Kayo’s” heartlebs handlers, raised
Anderson's hand.

FODDER FOR FANS
Opportunity slipped within the grasp
of Thomas Long yesterday—and slipped
out again. It was pitiful.
It was in the seventh. F.llam, not
usually a strong hitter, lambasted the
ball to deep, deep right field. The ball
seemed sure to hit the row of
signs. The painters were working there
and a ladder rested against the signs.
Had Tommy climbed the ladder and
speared the ball from there, his name
would have resounded everlastingly
down the corridors of time.
As it was, all Tommy did was to
run back a quarter of a mile, jump
fourteen feet in the air and perpetrate
the best catch of the year and one of
the best of Ponce DeLeon’s history.
But think of the opportunity he missed.
The game lasted two hours and 25
minutes, which was a crime.
It is estimated that the Crackers used
25 minutes in retiring the Barons, and
that the Barons used the other two
hours disposing of the Crackers—which
was fair enough, with the score 11
to 0.
The weather yesterday was even a
trifle colder and meaner than the day
before In spite of it, however, a good
crowd was out.
Keating’s play in retiring Ellam for
the last put-out of the game came
after almost everybody had started to
leave, but be it recorded, the stop was
a wonder. This lad is finding himself.
Foxen struck out six men, but he
walked eight.
The Baron pitcher struck out Bailey,
Long and Smith in succession.
Bailey owes his hit in the sixth to
the fact that McGUvray fielded the
ball and Foxen didn’t cover. They seem
ed a bit annoyed at each other over the
affair.
Tommy Long stole second and third
in the eighth Inning. Smith and Keat
ing also stole a base apiece.
McGUvray and Carroll scored steals
at Dunn’s expense, but in the main the
ex-Gull threw well.
There were some queer batting rec
ords:
Agler got on four times, but didn’t
make a hit.
A1 nerman was hit, walked and singled.
Welchoncc hit a three-bagger and a
single.
Haller bit three times, walked once.
Keating got on five times Once he
hit. three times he walked, and once
he was hit.
College. All the lad lacks is a fast
ball.
Bob Wallace failed to play in a major
league opener this year for the first
time in seventeen years. 'Hie man who

who continues to play a great game.
N EW YORK, April IS.—“Matty”
Baldwin, the veteran Boston
boxer who at one time was a
match for any of the lightweight
brigade, \va,s a very easy mark for
"Jack” Britton, the clever Chicago
lighter, last night at the St. Nicholas
Rink.
It was nothing more than a warm
ing up for the Chicago man and he
left the ring after the tenth round
scarcely puffing.
Baldwin’s mouth was pretty well
battered up from the hundred and
one left jabs he stopped, but he wap
far from being seriously damaged.
Baldwin weighed 135 pounds and Brit
ton 133 3-4.
The bout was a monotonous one to
watch. There was no variety in it.
In the first round “Jack” jabbed “Mat
ty” just about as often as he cared to
and split lip in the first half min
ute. After this Baldwin’s face wap a
study in different tints of red. He
was no pretty sight to look at, but
Britton could not make his smile come
off. In the opening period Baldwin
stopped about one left jab a second.
Preceding this bout. “One Round”
Hogan, carrying ten pounds superflu
ous fat, was beaten by Willie Belcher
in ten rounds.
Hogan was the better boxer, but he
wap not in good enough condition to^
make much of a showing. Belcher’s
stomach punches took the steam out
of the Californian after the first few
rounds.
“Billy” Grupp. of St. Louis, fought a
game battle with George “K. O.”
Brown, of Chicago, but he was not
rugged enough to beat the Greek.

New Records Set at Tech Meet
© © © O © O ®
Luehermann and Streit Both Star
T WO former Tech records were
broken at the Tech field meet
held yesterday afternoon at
Tech Flats. Dutch Luehermann, cap
tain of last year's football team, broke
the discus record, throwing the plate
98 feet and 6 Inches. This beats the
former record by 6 Inches.
Streit, a freshman, broke the broad
jump record by covering 20 feet 1
inch, breaking the former record by
7 inches. The broad Jump record lias
been Intact for several years, and this
point alone Is an Indication of Tech’s
chances for a good team this year. No
intercollegiate meet has been held yet
and the true mettle of the men has
not yet been tried out, but this year’s
material is showing up better than
any other year.
Monsalvatge and Cowles are the
best broad Jumpers for the Yellow
Jackets. Luehermann is throw ing the
weights, and by his practice records
it looks as if he will surpass the good
work of Patterson, of last year’s
team.
Logan and Sparks are on the
dashes, with Robertson doing the 440
in great style. Robinson and Smith
are taking care of the high jump
and the pole vaulting. Both ar* han
dling this department in the big
league fashion. Robinson is lumping
5 feet 4 inches and Smith is doing
a fraction over 10 feet in the pole
vault.
FRESHMEN ON TOP.
Yesterday’s field meet was open to
the entire school, but no one outside
of the track squad took any places.
The freshmen now' lead with the
greatest number of points, having a
total of 57. The “Sophs" are second
with 51.
Following are the winners in yester
day’s meet:
100-yard dash, first, Logan: : 10 2-5:
second, Sparks. 220-yard dash, first.
Sparks, :24 3-5; second, Robertson.
440- yard dash, first, Robertson, :55 4-5.
Half-mile, Monsalvatge, 2.11. One
mile, Monsalvatge, 5:01 3-5. Low
hurdles. Tye, : 31 2-5. High hurdles,
Andrews, 17:00 3-5. Broad jump,
Streit. 20 feet 1 inch. High jump,
Robinson, 5 feet 4 inches. Pole vault.
Smith, 10 feet.
KREIDER WINS MAT EVENT.
Kreider took first place in the light-
weight wrestling event w ith ease, with
Rountree and Tucker tied up for first
place in the welterweight event. This
tie will be wrestled off to-day. In
the heavyweight event Means was an
easy first. The wrestling event is a
new thing at the flats and it was one
of the most interesting events of the
meet. Every man was in tip top form
and the going was good all the way.
Yesterday’s meet was the best that
has been held at Tech since track
work was organized at the school.
There was something doing every
minute of the time, and the athletes
were in great condition. There were
two records broken, and that speaks
well for the team. Track work is on
the upward road at the flats and with
in the next two years Tech is in hope
of sending representative teams to the
big meets in the North and East. For
the first few years the Yellow Jackets
would not make such a good show,
but in the course of five years it is
hoped that Tech will be making an
even show against such teams as the
Unlveristy of Pennsylvania, Cornell
and other Northern colleges. Coach'
Thomas has rafts of good material
this year and is counting on getting
the first honors at the S. I. A. A.
meet to be held at Clemson in a few
days.
RINGSIDE NEWS
Jack Britton, the clever Chicago boxer,
has fought twenty-seven battles In sev
en months, and has lost one of them—
that to Packey McF.rland. Britton is
matched for four bouts as follows:
April 20, Pal Moore. Olympic Club, Phila
delphia; April 13, Johnny Dohaii. Irving
A. C., Brooklyn; May 2. “One-Round”
Hogan, New Haven, and May 7, Jimmy
Duify, Buffalo.
Although Jess Willard, the Western
eight
heavyweight, has severed his connec
tions with Charley Cutler and has gone
to Tom Jomes, he has notified Cutler
by letter that he intends to make things
right with him.
Willard apparently has not forgotten
the kind things Cutler done for him
when he first started out. The prom
ised action of Willard is rarely taken
by a fighter when once he quits a man
ager.
Dan McKetrick writes that he is still
after a fight for Frank Moran with
