TUI ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS 4: It Seemeth Mutt Put His Ante Up Too Quickly • • • • • • By ‘Bud’ Fisher T By Percy H. Whiting. HE Crackers of 1913 haven't any sense at all. Here they go, winning a game a day and never losing any at all. And the first 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 euch a start as Atlanta has made. Five in a row and nothing In eight to Indicate that they aren't going to make It five more! And all because Bill Smith has gathered unto Atlanta the gosh ding- left ball club that ever wielded bat anl ball in old Dixie Major. The way the Crackers promise right sow to walk away with the pennant will make the memory of that won- lerful Pelican team of Yellow fever year pale Into mauve insignificance. • • • *TF my pitchers come through," re- 1 marked Col. William Andrew Smith prior to the opening of the lesson, "you can say for me we have i ball club.” Well, the pitchers 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—6. Against Chattanooga. April 12—2. Against Birmingham, Monday—4. Against Birmingham, yesterday—2. Think over theee facts: The vaunted and vaunting Barons, including that prince of sluggers, Bill McGilvray, have acquired six hits in two games. In five games Cracker pitchers have • lowed an average of 4 2-5 hits a game. In two games Gilbert Price has given up 7 hits, an average of 3 1-2 a game. * * * DILL SMITH’S pitchers have started u coming through. Of course what they do In the opening days of the iieason, ‘with weather conditions Itvful, is not conclusive. But bless ’em, they all look mighty kood. If they continue coming Bill Smith Kill make a fright of the pennant lace. Ordinarily all Bill Smith asks is a limart fielding team, pitchers and one kan who can hit the ball. Well, he ps 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 be will make! A lot of managers are superstitious Kbout winning early games. BUI lEprnliardt made a great start last I year and kicked about It. He said | tv a s bad luck. Rill Smith is about as superstitious lu a Belgian block. "All the gamer |"e win now go to our credit. If they lome easy now so much the better. [They may not be coming so easy In | st. Go to It.” And the club is going. * * * f)LD BILL FOXEN, who hadn’t lost w a game to Atlanta since he was I free by the Crackers, and charged pith being a ”lay--down,” took a de- Iteat yesterday. He was beaten in Ittie first inning and murdered in the lilxth. In the seventh he retired in |Iavor of Carl Thompson.

I'tv\ QRAZ.Y T u>»v4i.Mr SV *T»*c.* MUTWJirr COLUMN* baseball :TO-DAY 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 has also defeated the following: Grover Hayes, Jimmy Duffey, Matty Baldwin, .Tern 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 has 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 he 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 there 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. m • * 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 1 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 l’NBOAT SMITH didn’t knock out George Rodel in the second meeting last week, but he 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 lie 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- \_J weight is campaigning wildly for a match for hts 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 dandy little booster for Ills man, and if he doesn’t force Smith into a return match, he can at least credit himself with making a super lative effort. , , , J OE RIVERS seems to have just about met his match in this dentist nerson Leach Cross, who has been so good in each of their scraps that * Mexican could not whip him. Rivers never before failed to whip anv opnonent in two trials, a, Cross must he exceptionally good.

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 the 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 “Blabbed” 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 10 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 ;n 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 Brdwn had been beaten to a state of helplessness and the referee, with a scornful look in the direction of “Kayo’s” heartle’ss handlers, raised Anderson’s hand. I Sporting Food By GEORGE E. PHAIR-—— 4r IN ST. LOUIS. “Let mo die!" the young man muttered; “Let me die this blessed day!" And, despite the words he uttered. He was smiling bright and gay. “Let me have some nitric acid! I-iet me have a gatling gun!” Yet his smile was calm and placid As a ray of morning sun. “Let me die while free from sorrow— While the Browns are at the top. Let me croak before the morrow, Ere they have a chance to flop.” We are not jerry to Alaska’s sporting ethics, but whatthehel is a flock of wolves doing in a dog race? Tf Alaska’s methods become general, we may expect to see a bloomin’ giraffe entered at Epsom Downs. My word! As we understand it, Frank Navln is in ravor of a downward revision of the tariff of Cobb. In other words, Mr. Navin believes in the Bibical injunction: “If thy right fielder offend thee, pluck it out.’’ Cobb can get along without Navin, and Navln can get along without Cobb, but they both lose. It is hard to find anything more ap* propriate than an aviation meet at Monte Carlo. The only difference Is that the aviators gamble with the un dertaker. The report that AI Kaufman whipped Jack Lester merely shows that there still is a heavyweight that Al can whip. Mike' Gibbons offers to do battle with Papke, McGoorty or Packey McFarland. What we cannot understand is that he overlooks Johnny Coulon and Luther McCarty. In view of the fact that Gunboat Smith failed to sink George Rodel, why not build our battleships of solid ivory? • OPTIMISM. What though the rain be tumbling down and sprinkling all the sward! I merely breathe a gentle prayer and thank the blessed Lord. In fact. I have a tendency to warble and enthuse. For when the rain comes tumbling down, the Turtles cannot lose. FODDER FOR FANS Opportunity slipped within the grasp of Thomas Long yesterday—and slipped out again. It was pitiful. * * * It was in the seventh. Ellam. 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, bis 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. 0 0 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 winder. This lad is finding himself. * * * Foxen struck out six men, but he walked eight. * * * The Boron pitcher struck out Bailey, Long and Smith in succession. * • • Bailev owes his hit In the sixth to the fact that McGilvray fielded the ball and Foxen didn’t cover. They seem ed a bit annoyed at each other over the affair. 0 0 0 Tommy Long stole second and third in the eighth inning. Smith and Keat ing also stole a base apiece. 0 0 0 McGilvray 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. Alnerman was hit, walked and singled. Welchonc® hit a three-bagger and a slnrle. Bailey hft 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. The man who had his place was Dee Walsh, ex-Mobile, who continues to play a great game • * * Connie Mack is carrying ten pitchers— W'hich indicates that he feels some doubt about his old timers. • * * * The Cleveland team has a tough bull dog for a mascot, and before the games the Naps circulate around, telling that it makes the dog mad for a visitor to score. * • * Outfielder Senno, of the Barons, is virtually on trial for his job in the Atlanta series. Notice has been served that after the Atlanta series Moles worth will decide whether or not to buy another outfielder. * « * Louisville scouts passed up Ray Schalk and Al Griner.

GA., April’ 16—Ty Cobb, the hold-out Detroit American slugger, to-day reiterated his declar ation that President Navin ought to trade him. Cobb said that Navin has made no overtures in spite of the fact that he is perfectly willing to listen to any fair proposition Clark Griffith is still hanging onto Bob Austin, the southpaw from Wesleyan floods. Try it! Nearly everybody in Atlanta reads The Sunday American. VOUR ad- i vertisement in the next issue will sell N EW YORK, April 16.-—"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 tighter, 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 nundred and one left jabs he stopped, but he was 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 .his Baldwin’s face was 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 was* 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. CUTTING TWIRLS PERFECT GAME AGAINST COLONELS CHICAGO, April 16.—According to specials from Milwaukee, the first, “no-hlt-no-run” grime of the Ameri can Association r.eason of 1913 was pitched yesterday against Louisville by Ralp ■ Cutting, of the Milwaukee team. The official scorer gave Cut ting credit for such a game. Umpires Johnstone and Connelly having agreed that a doubtful hit off Nicholson’s bat should have been charged as an er ror. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE OPENS SEASON TO-DAY NEW YORK. April 16.—With threatening weather all over the East, the outlook is not bright for good baseball conditions to greet the teams of the International League tills aft ernoon, when the playing season of that organization begins. Otherwise, prospects of the league which in tHe East ranks next in importance to the majors are excellent. For the opening Montreal is sched uled to play in Providence, Buffalo in Jersey City, Toronto in Newark, and Rochester in Baltimore. EZELL PITCHES NO-HIT GAME AGAINST ERSKINE New Records Set at Tech Meet © © © O © O 0 Luehermaon 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. 9 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 has 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 beerr tried out, but this year’s material is showing up better than onv 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 4 40 In great style. Robinson arid Smith are taking care of the high Jump and the pole vaulting. Both are han dling this department in the big league fashion. Robinson is jumping 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.

Kreider took first place in the light weight wrestling event with 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 fiats and it was one of the most interesting events of the meet. Every man was in tip top form arid the going was good all the way. Yesterday’s meet was the best that has been held at Tech since track w’ork 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 r<iad at the flats and with in the next two years Tech is in hop® of sending representative teams to th® 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 Univeristy 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. CLEMSON COLLEGE. S. C., April 16. < Me ms-on defeated Erskine, 5 to 0. Ezell, for Clemson, pitched a no-hit, no-run game and knocked a home run. The Clemson team played the best game seen here for many a day. Not an error was made. Heirs brought in two runs with a two-base hit in the third inning. Hutto hit for two base?. The Erskine team fielded well. Pimp- son replaced Fleming in the box in the third inning. BOXING BILL PASSES HOUSE. COLUMBUS, OHIO.
