VTLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1(5, 191! 11 It Seemeth Mutt Put His Ante Up Too Quickly • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • By ‘Bud’ Fisher By Percy H T HE Crackers of Bense at all. Here they go, r «\ ' - : V." \ Whiting. 1913 haven’t any 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 auch 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- de»t ball club that ever wielded bat •nd ball in old Dixie 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. • * • 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 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 these facte: 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 allowed 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. • * • TJILL SMITH’S pitchers have started coming through. Of course what 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 what a start he w ill make! A lot of managers are superstitious about winning parly 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 as 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. * * • O 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 sixth. In the seventh he retired in favor of Carl Thompson. And let it be said of Foxen, those best informed have never believed the “lay-down” charge. He was hooked up 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 bad 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 it all straightened out at the con clusion of the festivities, at which time it was officially determined that the score was 11 to 0 in favor of At lanta. Price pitched a marvelous game. Two hits were made off his delivery, and they were clean ones. But that was all. At no time did there appear any particular likelihood that a Baron was due to score.

COMTE GET/ NTE QUICK? t'fy\ iLTi 4Y *T«*Le MOTLtJJBT COLUMN • TO-DAY Birmingham vs. Atlanta Ponce DeLeon Park 3:15 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 cincli 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 igsue right now. The English lad has also defeated the following: Grover Hayes, Jimmy Duffey, Matty Baldwin. .Tom Drisfloll, 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 Nearv, 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'HOl.'GH 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 n 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 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. * * * 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 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 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? * * » D 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 dandy little booster for his 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 person, Leach Cross, who has been so good In each of their scraps that the Mexican could not whip him. Rivers never before failed to whip any opponent in two trials, so Cross must be exceptionally good. The result of their second battle in New York makes it necessary for them to fight a third lime, anti next time they meet it should be over the derby route to a referee’s decision. On the iwo battles with Rivers and the one with Joe Mandot. the dentist is entitled to considerable attention as a contender for the lightweight championship. Undoubtedly he will regain all his old-time prestige with New York fans and probably will he matched up with Willie Ritchie over the no-danger route some time early In the summer. Cross has ranked for a long time as the best lightweight in the East, but he probablv never showed as much class in his life as he has ex hibited in the last six months. He retired from the ring for 9 short time and then came back with a vengeance. Just now he is the king pin of the Eastern colony. . 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 “slabbed” in j preference to acknowledging an hon- \ est defeat by tossing in the sponge, j From beginning to end Brown was j but a punching bag for the clean- hitting Anderson. Anderson actually wore himself to I 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 Brown had been beaten to a stare of helplessness and the referee, with a scornful look in the direction of “Kayo's’’ heartlebs handlers, raised Anderson’s hand. Sporting Food By GEORGE E. PHAIR— IN ST. LOUIS. “Let me 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! Let 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? If Alaska's methods become general, we may expect to see a bloomin’ giraffe entered at Epsom Downs. My word! As we understand it, Frank Navin is in favor 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 Navin 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 A1 Kaufman whipped Jack Lester merely shows that there still is a heavyweight that A1 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. 1 have a tendency to warble and enthuse. For when the rain comes tumbling down, the Turtles cannot lose. 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 nit 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 hack a quarter of a mile, jump fourteen feet m the air and perpetrate the best catch of the year and one of the best of Ponce Del/eon’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. * c • 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 McGjlvray fielded the ball and Foxpn didn't cover. They seem ed a bit annoyed at each other over the affair. • * • Tommy Ix>ng stole second and third in the eighth Inning Smith and Keat ing also stole a base apiece. * * • McOllvray 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. Aloerman was hit, walked and singled. Welchonce hit a three-bagger and a single. Bailey hit three tipies. walked once Keating got on five times, once he hit, thn>D times he w-alked, and once he was hit. * * * ('lark Griffith is still hanging nnU' Bob Austin, the southpaw from Wesleyan College.

YOUR ad i vertisement in the next issue will sell goods. Try it! N EW YORK, April 16.—"Matty” Baldwin, the veteran Boston boxer who at one time was a match for any of the lightweight brigade, 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 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 *'s 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 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- round s. “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-hit-no-run” game of the Ameri can Association neason 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.

New Records Set at Tech Meet © o © o © o © Luehermann and Streit Both Star T rpWO 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 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 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 throwing 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 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, Sparks, : 24 3-5; second, Robertson. 440- yard dash, first, Robertson, :55 4-5.

Pole vault, Smith, 10 feet. KREIDER WINS MAT EVENT. 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 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 fiats 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 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. Jack Britton, the clever Chicago boxer, has fought twenty-seven battles In sev en months, and has lost one of them— that to Packey McFarland. Britton is matched for four bouts as follows: April 20, Pal Moore, Olympic Club, Phila delphia; April 23, Johnny Dohan, Irving A. C., Brooklyn; May 2, "One-Round” Hogan, New llaven, and May 7. Jimmy Puny, Buffalo. * * * Although Jess Willard, the Western 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 McKelrick writes that he is still after a fight for Frank Moran with Luther McCarty. "Guess Billy McCar ney doesn’t care to have his cowboy take a chance with Frank, eh?” is the way Danny puts it. * * * Despite his many years of service in the ring.
