H enry Norton stood for .
other bunk at his Orpluu
Club and then let the spec
tors go home without returning
penny of their good money. A
which leads us to believe that i
Mr. Norton is about as popular w
the boxing fans as the nieash s A
his days as a promoter an* < \ <
our opinion of the Police GomnR -.«i
mill be far below bogey.
Many of the Police Commission
were at the ringside. They c n\
Attell-Kaufmun fiasco; they had >
other bad matches at the Orpheun
We hardly believe the honorable
C. will stand for any more "frain
ups.”
Then Norton put on a joke subs
tute bout. It was between (If
Mayson. of Baltimore, and Kid Paine,
of Chicago. Mayson had a hard tiin-
holding back his punch for live
rounds, but finally turned it lose an i
all was over.
This bout only added insult to in
jury and i he fan* ea
of the theater sadder but wi■< r Mr
Norton didn't even make a bluff of
returning thrir money.
m * 0
I N spite of the hisses of the c
and two warnings from R<
Mike Saul. Kaufman refused a
mage of the game to open up and
what he had. He seemed to have
down here with the opinion th
could "put one over” for some ea*)
money.
To sum it all up. it was without
doubt the rankest kind <>f a stall
match, from the time tht* first gong
rang until the police ended it.
A TTELL Should not be blamed for
the bad fight. He at least tried
at all times, while Kaufman appeared
to be the poorest excuse of a second-
rater. He seldom opend up and con
tinually dogged it around the ling.
tender the circumstances Norton
shouM have stopped the battle In the
aSroiHu,round. He showed very poor
judgment by letting the bout go on.
He was tb blame for the whole fiasco
more than any one else.

K JD YOUNG, the local fighter, and
_f Johnny Grant, of Chicago, put on
tlte best bout of the night In the eight-
round semi-windup. Both boys fought
hard, and the draw decision of Ref
eree Saul pleiiAfd the few present.
Meyer Prels, as usual, showed the
yellow streak and after the first two
rounds failed to show anything against
Spider Britt in their six-round tight
Britt was given the derision, and Prein
refused the hand his little opponent
offered him at the finish.
Tim Callahan was given the deci
sion over Kid Superior in a four-
round bout.

M IKE DOONLIN, who is showing
at a local theater this week,
has passed from the big lea
gues forever. He worked himself to
the top of the ladder in baseball
;tnd then hit the toboggan. He will
probably try now to become a suc
cessful actor.
The report from Minneapolis that
Joe (‘antillon, manager of the Min-
I neapolis team of the American Asso
ciation. has closed a long penditig
Ideal with the Phillies for the ser-
I vices of the former captain and star
"Utfleld* r of the Giants sounds the
passing of this great player from tne
first ranks.
Donlin played with the Pittsburg
Pirates last season, but showed un
mistakable signs of slowing up, and
tin* Phillies purchased him at th?
waiver price of $1,500. Doonlin re
fused to report for spring training
with pooin’s men. He was travelling
with a theatrical company find found
prancing behind the* footlights b;-
. fore an appreciative audience more
J.congenial than prancing around the
basis in a training camp listening to
the growls of a manager.
Always a Good Hitter.
Donlin has always been one of the
most consistent batters in the Na
tional League; he never led the lea
gue in hitting. Dut was always we*l
up and generally with an average
above .300. Even last year, when he
was not at his best, he batted .316
in seventy-seven games. He stole
only eight bases, and his release by
| the Pirates and later by the Phillies
l may be charged to his lack of speed.
l‘Y\v pitchers felt comfortable when
IMnlin uame up to the bat with men
on the paths. He batted left handed,
but hit to all fields with equal ease.
He was just as likely to pull a wide
curve into right field as he was ‘.o
turn a close one into left.
Dunlin’s star began to wane when
he broke his Kg sliding into second
lias in Pittsburg in 1907. He was
out of the game all that season, and
1909 found him elevating the stage to
the dertiment of baseball.
Footlights Got Him.
The lure of the footlights was too
strong for Michael and he continued
his acting throughout the next year
and a half. It was in midseas m
that he finally joined the Giants in
1911, after applying to the National
Commission for reinstatement, it
was seen at a glance that Donlin
had lost his speed, and he spent most
I of his time on the bench, acting as i
pc* pinch hitter for the most part.
Mcfiraw finally sold Donlin to Bos
ton. who later traded him to Pitts
burg in exchange for Vincent Camp
bell.
L ocal FANS to-day is your last
chance to enter The Georgian’s
Baseball Contest. Stories re
ceived after April 16 will be worth
less. Stories received to-day will be
given as much attention as those sent
in on the opening day of the con
test.
There are ten free season tickets
offered by The Georgian. These are
to be given to nine different people.
The one who writes the best story
will get two season tickets.
The Crackers are leading the Sou
thern League. Bill Smith and his
entire team are out to bring the 1913
pennant to Atlanta.
Think of It! Are you going to
miss the chance of weeing the Crack
ers in action every day this season
in Atlanta?
They want your support and will
in return give you some of the best
baseball seen here in years.
The team is “there.” Bill Smith
stated on ills return from Chatta
nooga that Ije has some of the best
ball players ever seen in the South.
Also most of these players may be
up in the big League next season.
This might be your only chance of
seeing them in action.
Only 30 Minutes Work.
The Georgian has come to your
rescue and 3ft minutes of work mav
give you the chance of seeing ull you
want of the Crackers. The work is
easy and It is up to you to make the
most of this opportunity.
Grab a pencil and some paper.
Write 600 words about the game in
the appended box score. Don’t try
to write a fancy story. You certain
ly have been reading thousands of
stories in the various newspapers and
It should not be hard to write just
one story, about 600 words and win
one of the free season tickets.
The game is the opening contest of
tiie season. You certainly read the
story of Monday’s game in the paper,
so write one in your own words. At
lanta also won this contest. The
score was 7 to 6. It was a rattling
game, with the Crackers just nos
ing the Barons out.
Paul Musser was apparently the
star of the game. He allowed his
opponents 13 safe hits, yet they only
were able to push six runs over the
plate.
Bill Smith's team must have play
ed a grand defensive game behind
Musser.
Big Bill Prough opposed the home
boys. He allowed us but six safe
swats, yet he lost.
Long and Smith each secured two
hits for Atlanta.
For the visitors. Carroll and Ellam
did the heavy hitting. Carroll got
four hits, while Ellam managed to
collect three. These are the main
features. Pick them out and tell the
fans what happened. It’s easy and
takes but little effort.
But. remember fans. This is your
last chance. To-day is the final day
of the contest. Letters sent in To
morrow' will be worthless. Don't un
der any circumstances miss this
chance.
Hundreds of fans have already
sent in their stories, but yours will
be given as much attention as the
first ones sent in.
Thirty minutes of work may give
you the chance you have been long
ing for all season—a free ticket to
every game this season. Therefore,
grab a pencil and some paper and get
busy.
THIS IS THE FINAL DAY.
Frank Callaway. Charles Nunnally
and Gus Ryan, the directors of *he
Atlanta Baseball Association, have
been selected as judges. They will
read every story carefully before de
ciding the winners.

ALTIMORE. MD.. April 16-
Tommy McMillan will start
the championship season w ear
ing a Rochester uniform, and.
moreover, the Georgian will be
captain of the team. Tommy has
not signed up yet, but jusj before re
tiring last night he gave Manager
Ganzel his promise that he would
surely do so to-day.
Ganzel had several conferences dur
ing the afternoon and night, and it
was bed time before Tommy finally
agreed to corrte to terms. Manager
Ganzel nor McMillan would make a
statement, aside from the formal an
nouncements that McMillan will sign
some time to-day and that he will be
captain of the team when the Hust
lers take the field this afternoon.
Later developments may furnish in
teresting reading. Every one must
concede that with McMillan back In
the fold, Rochester now is represented
by a real bast ball club. It makes the
path to a possible fourth pennant
much smoother and Rochester fans
doubtless will shout with glad ac
claim, “Well done.”
Manager Ganzel’s last worry as to
the make-up of his team has been
removed by the assurance that Mc
Millan will play to-day and during the
r; niainder of the present trip, but
tln r. is no telling what may happen
thereafter. a>* neither Manager Gan
zel nor McMillan would make a
statement regarding the terms of the
contract nor what McMillan may ex
pect to receive for being captain of
the club.

W YORK. April 16.—There
reports to the Giants* some
time in June, if John J.
McGraw decides to stand for
it, one E. K. Perryman, celebrated
as the preacher-pitcher, and also as
the longest recruit ever extracted
from the sticks. E. Iv. was billed to
appear at Marlin last February, and
the watchers at Emerson Park used
to anxiously scan the horizon every
morning looking for a tall uprising
against the sky line. It was a grand
chance for E. K. to gather much
publicity, but he came not. and the
last news from him was to the ef
fect that he wanted to finish his
studies.
Perryman comes from "way down in
Georgia. He was taken by McGraw
from the Richmond team of the Vir
ginia League, where he developed a
great store of “stuff” without win
ning many games. McGraw has not
yet determined whether he will wait
the conclusion of Perryman’s educa
tional pursuits jr not.
JEAN WESTON IS HERO OF
TECH HIGH-MARIST GAME
Jean Weston, the Tech High slab
artist, was too much for Marist yes
terday afternoon and practically won
his own game. The score was 5 to
1 in favor of Tech High. Besides
fanning fifteen batters and giving
only three hits. Weston clouted one
clear over the centerfield wall in the
sixth inning, which scored himself
and a man ahead of him.
Callahan, of Marist. pitched a good
game, but was hit freely at inoppor
tune moments. He received ragged
support, which put him in a numb?r
of bad holes. Tech High showed a
complete reversal ©f form from that
displayed in the game last week with
Bovs’ High.
Parks performed well on third for
the high school lads and also knocked
out a homer in the fourth, scoring
two runs.
