THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1913.
\
FIGHT HELD SI
Bv

Lott
H enry Norton stood for an-
othpr hunk at his Orphfuun
Club and then let the spec*, i-
tors go homo without returning «
penny of their good money. AD 1
tvhich leads us to believe that said
Mr. Norton is about as popular with
the boxing fans as the measles. Also
his days as a promoter are over, or
our opinion of the Police Commissi m
will be far below bogey.
Many of the Police Commission i
were at the ringside, They saw 4 he
Attell-Kaufman fiasco; they had svrn
other bad matches at the Orpheum.
We hardly believe the honorable P.
C. will stand for any more “frame-
ups.”
Then Norton put on a joke substi
tute bout. It was between Georgi
If ay son, of Baltimore, and Kid Paine,
of Chicago. May son had a hard tini-
holding back his punch for five
rounds, but finally turned it lose and
all was over.
This bout only added insult to in
jury and the fens cased their way out
of the theater sadder but wiser. Mr.
Norton dldn t even make ;i bluff of
returning their money.
I N spite of the hisses of the crowd,
and two warnings from Refer?**
Mike Saul. Kaufman refused at any
»tag* of the game to open up and show
what he,had. He seemed to have come
down hero with the opinion that In*
could "put one over” for some easy
money.
To sum it all up. it was without
doubt the rankest kind <>f a stall
match, from the time the first gong
rang until the tyolice ended it

A ttell should not
the bad fight. He
be blamed for
at.least tried
at ail times, while Kaufman appeared
to be the poorest excuse of a second-
rater He seldom opend up and con
tinually dogged it around the ring.
f Under the circumstances Norton
should have stopped the battle hi the
second round He showed very poor
judgment by letting the bout go on.
He was to blame for the whole fiasco
more than any one rise.
* * *
K 1L YOUNG, the local fighter, and
j Johnny Grant, of Chicago, put on
tlie best bout of the night in the eight-
round semi-wind up. Both boys fought
hard, and the draw decision of Ref
eree Saul plea-td the few present.
Meyer Pro is, as usual, showcej tin
yellow streak ami after the first two
rounds failed to show anything against
Spider Britt in their six-round tight.
Britt was given the decision, and Preis
refused the hand his little opponent
offered him at the finish.
Tim Callahan was given tire deci
sion over Kid Superior in a four-
round bout.

M IKE DOONLIN, who is showing
at a local theater this week,
ii.is passed from the big lea-
gin m fi«r« v» r. He worked himself to
th< top of the ladder in baseball
and then hit the toboggan. He will
probably try now to become a suc
cessful actor.
The report from Minneapolis that
Joe (’antilion, manager of the Min
neapolis team of the American Asso
ciation, has dosed a long pending
deal with the Phillies for the ser-
vfi-eB of t h* * former captain and star
outfielder of the Giants sounds the
ng of ttii* in g player from tha
first ranks.
Donlin played with the Pittsburg
PI rat os last season, but showed un
mistakable signs of slowing up, and
the Phillies purchased him at tho
waiver price of $1,51)0. Doonlin re
fused to report for spring training
with DoolnV men. IL was fi a veiling
.with a tiieatrical company and found
j prancing behind the footlights !#?-
fore an appreciative audience more
! congenial than prancing around tlie
[bases in a training lamp listening to
j 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, but was always wed
up and generally with an average
above .300. Rven last year, when he
was not at his best, he batted ..316
m seventy-seven games. He stole
only eight bases, and his release by
tin* Pirates and later by the Phillies
may be charged to his lack of speed.
Few pitchers felt comfortable when
Donlin came up to the bat with mqn
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.
Donlin’s star began to wane when
he broke his Kg sliding into second
base 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.
’Pile lure of the footlights was too
strong for Michael and he continued
da a< iIng throughoul the next year
and a half. It was in ntidseasan
that he finally joined the Giants in
3911, after applying to the National
Commission for reinstatement. It
was seen at a glance that Donlin
had lost his speed, and he spent moat
of his time on the bench, acting as a
pinch hitter for the most part.
MeGraw finally sold Donlin to Bos
ton. who later traded him tv) Pitts
burg in i xchunge for Vincent Camp-

OCAL FANS to-day is your last
chance to enter Tho Georgian’s
Baseball Contest. Stories re
ceived after April 16 will be worth
less. Stories received to-day will lie
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 rus
entire team are out to bring the 1913
pennant to Atlanta.
Think of it! Are you going to
miss the chance of seeing 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." BUI Smithr
stated on his return from Chatta
nooga that he 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 30 minutes of work mav
give you the chance of seeing all 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 pfiper.
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
the 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
M usser.
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. Thepe 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.

GEORGIA TO HAVE TRACK
TEAM; PADDOCK CAPTAIN
ATHENS/ GA., April 16.—Definite
plans were made at a meeting of
prospective track men to put out a
cinder path team at Georgia this
spring. Dave Paddock, quarterback
on the football team, was elected cap
tain.
Coach Cunningham will have
charge of tho coaching and if plans
materialize Georgia will be represent
ed at the S. I. A. A. meet in New
Orleans, for the firs’ time in a num
ber of years, and will also meet
Clemson later.
Vanderbilt will be offered a chance
to meet Georgia and it is very prob
able that such an event will be held
in Atlanta the middle of May.
B altimore. md„ April 16.—
Tommy McMillan will start
the championship season wear
ing a Rochester uniform, and.
moreover, the Georgian will be
captain of the team. Tommy has
not signed up yet, but just before re
tiring last night he gave Manager
Ganzel his promise that he would
surely do so to-day.
Ganzel had 5*everal conferences dur
ing the afternoon and night, and it
was bed time before Tommy finally
agreed to come 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 baseball 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
remainder of the present trip, but
there is no telling what may happen
thereafter, as* neither Manager Gan
zel nor McMillan would make a
statement regarding the terms of the
contract nor what McMillan may ex-
pec to. receive for being captain of
the club.
PREP LEAGUE NOTES

N EW YORK. Aipril 16.—There
reports to the Giants* some
time in June, if John
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- K. 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 gnther 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 or not.
Bedell and Meyers are showing much
Hass - n the track at Tech High. Both
men are good athlete- and are members
• f the track and baseball teams of
the school. Bedell has been tossing
the 12-pound shot 40 feet in practice.
Marist Specials lost to the Troop 31
Boy Scouts' 3 to 2 yesterday afternoon;
the Marist diamond. Both teams
got five hits, but the Marist lads made
more errors* than the Scouts, and that?
is what lost the game. Perry Adair
played good ball for the Specials.
Adams' catching was the feature for
the Scouts.
* * *
(i. M. <’. has a great pitcher in Har
rell. In a gome with Stone Mountain
he fanned fifteen batters and allowed
two hits. Despite Harrell’s good pitch
ing. Stone Mountain won the game 1
to 0.
The Tech High team will play two
practice games with the Tech scrubs
this week. Tech High is trying out
a new first baseman, named Johnson.
Ho looks good in practice.
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 w r as 5 to
1 in favor of Tech High. Beside*
fanning fifteen hatters and giving
only three hits, Weston clouted one .
clear over the centerfleld wall in the |
sixth inning, which scored himself
apd a man ahead of him.
Callahan, of Marist. pitched a good
game, but was hit freely at inoppor
tune moment.” He received ragged
support, which put him in a number
of bud holeg. Tech High showed a,
complete reversal of form from that |
displayed in the game last week with
Boys' High.
Parks performed well on third for
the high school lads and also knocked
out a homer In the fourth, scoring
two runs.
