T HIS trip lo Nashville is l,einn taken by the Cracker learn for the express purpose of Improving the club's standing and for fatten ing of averages. If it comes out as it appears likely to, it will amount to nothing at all—except maybe that II will net the Crackers three out of four games. The llrst series in Chattanooga demonstrated that the Crackers were good in a short series oil the road. And the Crackers won three in a row. The Birmingham series has shown what we all suspected—that the Crackers can win on their home soil. And they took three out of four. The series that begins April ::0 at Birmingham and carries the club all through the Southern section will show what the Crackers can do In a long road juunt. . « * L KT no fan underestimate the importance of yesterday's game. Re member that l lie Crackers had gone mad and won live In a row. In iheir sixth game, played Wednesday, they were ignominiously defeated. Yesterday's game gave them a chance either to come back or to stay away. And they came hack. to 1. In quite the prettiest game of the season. • * • I F aUJ demonstration were needed that t’aul Musser has arrived for a season's stay it was given yesterday. The Susquehanna University lad allowed the Barons three hits. Considering that his only other "out” was a two-liit game against Chattauooga. it can be regarded as probable that tlie bloude boy "has something"—ami has it In great profusion. Of course. Musser was wild as the festive Hottentot. He walked seven men and hit one. However, tills does not seem to lie chronic with him. In Chattanooga he allowed only four bases on halls and shut out the Lookouts. .Going buck through the record books, it becomes evident that the Pennsylvanian is not naturally a wild man. On the coast last year he averaged live bases on balls to a game. Tile year before, in the O. and P. League, he passed around an average of almost exactly three bases on halls to the game. All of which means that Musser looks like the best of pitching finds of the season and a man who, with good support, should win nearly three-fourths of his games. * * * T HK Crackers played hull yesterday that raised them many notches in the estimation of fandom. It was Impossible to forget the game of the previous day. and it would not have been surprising if the Crack ers had let it affect their playing. But they didn't. The locals got away for the first run in the second, on Long's double and Smith's single. The game was tied up in ilie fourth when McBride hit a three-bagger and tallied on Carroll’s sacrifice tly. Then tIn- Crackers pulled themselves up short and played ball. From that time on Musser did not give up a hit. and only in the fifth, when Murcan walked, took second on a sacrifice and third on Senno's grounder to Alperman. was a Baron even near home plate. Il will he observed, therefore, fhai after the score was tied Musser became progressively better, while Hard grove, the Baron twirler, weak ened steadily. In the fifth lie retired tile locals one. two, three. In the sixth he hit a batter. In the seventh he walked Long and allowed Dobard a hit In the eighth he got what was coming to him. Musser, who has a habit of winning his own games, opened the eighth by driving one that plowed through Hardgrove and got to Marcan too late to do that worthy any good. Agler filed out. But theu came the old Special Delivery Kid C. Alperman. And Whiter delivered with a raking double to center field that sent Musser tearing across the plat ter. Welchonce grounded to Hardgrove then, and this worthy, In attempt ing to head Alperman, threw wild toward Carroll, and Alperman scored. In the first of the ninth Musser showed his worth by holding Carrol) to a gentle fly and by fanning IOllam (reputed a pinch hitterl and Mayer t known lo he a good batter) with all the ease in the world. * • * K MATING made a brave, useful play in the second. McBride had walk ed. and McGllvray bunted toward Smith. This drew Wally in and left third uncovered, so McBride lit out for the bag. Keating dashed over lo cover i hit late, it is true, bin In time to jump high in the air and catch Aglet's timber topping heave. He pinched the ball and fell in front of the dashing McBride. The iupact spun the tiny Cracker shortstop a couple of rods across the field, but he held the ball and completed a double pla>. So badly Jarred was he by the play that he retired a bit later and Dobard finished out the contest at short, performing creditable. * * # T IKE Hit* other mimes of th( home series, the contest dragged along over two hours. This meant wasted time, late suppers—and was unnecessary and irritating. When, oh when, will President Kavanaugh issue orders to his um pires to hustle the games along'.’ We asL. but expect no answer. T HE Riverside Military Academy track team will probably take part in two or three track meets ihis spring and if they do not win more than a fair >’;are of the prizes I’oach Frank Anderson will be one j highly surprised citizen. Anderson’s present plan is to enter . .three-man team at the Washington 1 .tnd Lee truck meet April L’G and 27. ! to enter a full team at the Ninth District meet April 24 and*25 and pos sibly to send a small team to the Vanderbilt prep track meet. That Anderson has one genuine star is evident from the marks made at a recent school meet at Riverside. In this event Jim Preas, the star ath lete from Johnson City. Tenn., was the big winner. This lad took the 100-yard dash in 10 3-4, the 220 in 25 fiat, the 140 in 53 flat: threw the | discus 107 feet and the 12-pound shot 42 feet 10 inches. The other .tars on the Riverside meet were Ray and McNeill. Ray took the pole vault, with a mark of 8 feet 0 inches, the high jump with a leap of 4 feet 10 inches and in the broad jump he cleared 18 feet 6 inches McNeill, who is to go to Auburn next .year, where he is sure to be a star, won the mile in 4 minutes 51 seconds. These three men—Preas. McNeill and Ray—could probably hold their own with any three-man prep team in Dixie. PREP LEAGUE NOTES From all appearances, the track meet at Tech Flats this afternoon be tween Tech High and Boys High will eclipse all similar meets ever held in this city. More than a thousand tickets have already been sold. There will be more athletes entered this year than ever before, and no doubt some new records will be hung up. • • * Following are the events in the order in which they will be run at the Boys- Toch High track meet at Tech Flats this afternoon: 1—100-yard dash. J—High jump. *—220-yp.rd low hurdles. 4— Pole vault. 5— Half-mile run. 6— Running broad jump. 7— Hammer throw (12-pound). 8— 440-yard dash. !'—Standing broad jump. 10— Shot put < 12-poundL 11— Mile run. *■ * * A cup will be awarded to the school making the highest number of points, und a medal will be given to the indi vidual point winner. To the athlete on the Boys High team making the highest number of points will be given a cup to be kept for «ne year. » * a Two teams, the Seniors and Sopho mores, arc tied for first place in the inter-class baseball race at Emory Col lege. These two leaders will meet to morrow to play the deciding game, l’erryman. the elongated divinity stu dent who joins the New York Giants in June, will do the twirling for the Seniors, and judging from his past rec ord. he will make trouble for the Sophs. Mercer and Emory will hold a track meet at Macon on May 10. It has been customary at Emory for years past to hold no athletic matches with any other schools, and this meet will break the old rule, much to the satisfaction and joy of the student body. ■* * V Riverside gave Gordon an awful trim ming Wednesday at Barnesville when Gordon went up in the air in the last three innings and their opponents made 11 runs. The final* score was Riverside 16, Gordon 4. * * * The Locust Grove team is not a mem ber of the G. I. A. A. this year. The team has been playing great ball so far. and would give the best of tha G. 1. A. A. nines a stiff race. Wednes day the team beat Hearn Academy 5 to 1. The pitching of Dozier and the heavy hitting of the whole team made the victory possible. * * t t The Twelfth District High School track meet held yesterday at Cochran resulted m a victory for South Georgia College. McRae, of S. G. C., won 24 points. The next highest number of points went to the Dublin Hich School. The work of McRae was sensational, to say the least. He won the 1: :Cfyard dash and both hurdle events, besides being on the relay team. * * « The track meet this afternoon at Tech Flais between the two high schools will start at 1:30 in order to have everything over with by 4 o’clock. The admission will be 25 cents. Boys High had no trouble beating Peacock Wednesday afternoon on the Marist diamond.

CHICAGO, April 18.—Mel Wolf gang. a righthanded pitcher who came to the Chicago Americans by draft last fall from the Lowell (Mass.* team, of the New England League, was released yesterday to the Denver Club, of the Western League.

April 18.— Jack Coombs, the "iron man" twirler of the Athletics, was sent home frjm Washington yesterday a very sick man. He is suffering from an attack of grippe and a severe cold, due, no doubt, to the exposure he underwent when he pitched two games in Bos ton. The weather conditions on those days were enough to harm any on*, and Coombs, en route home from the Hub. complained, but insisted on mak ing the trii> with his teammates. KILBANE AND DUNDEE SIGN FIGHT ARTICLES LOS ANGELES. April 18.—Articles of agreement for the featherweight championship battle between Kilbane and Dundee, at Vernon, April 20, were signed yesterday by the fight ers' managers. It was agreed the men should weigh 122 pounds at 9:15 o'clock, the night of the contest, and be in the ring fifteen minutes later. The champion’s manager said a fight with Jem Driscoll, the feather weight champion of England, was in prospect if Kilbane won from Dundee.

Allanta’s season opened last Monday. A few davs before Birmingham had set the high mark with a grand total of 8,800. With pretty weather, folks said At anla had a bare chance to beat it. We didn’t have pretty weather. Birmingham fans read the weather conditions and said: "It’s a cinch.’’ Theydidn t reckon on the spirit that says and proves‘‘Atlanta always ahead.” Atlanta citizens looked on this contest as something a Iitt’e bigger than baseball. It was a test of civic loyalty,.and here’s how Atlanta answered: Hundreds of the biggest business houses in the city closed their doors on Monday afternoon and to'd their employee-, ‘‘Let’s show ’em what a real crowd looks like.” In a cold, chilly drizzle over nine thousard went through the gates at Ponce de Lecn and voted Atlanta ‘‘the most, loyal city in the league.’ We get the cup. Now, that s the game,—Here’s the moral: The most vital competition in manufacturmgUoday is not between individual firms, but between cities and sections. Atlanta has entered the "league" of shoe-manufacturing cities. What standing will she take? That question must be answered in a large part'by Atlanta citi zens and their attitude towards Atlanta-made shoes.. The growth of this industry will mean much to Atlanta. It has made Lynchburg from a village to a prosperous city; it has given St. Louis her place as one of the largest and richest cities* of the middle west. Now, nobody would expect Atlanta folks to break their necks to suppoit a bum ball team, nor would we expect them to give preference to Atlanta-made shoes if they weren’t as good in every respect as those made anywhere. You’ll find them so. They are sold in many places. If your dealer hasn’t them you 11 find all the new spring styles on display at the RED SEAL SHOE SHOP, 93 Peachtree. Look them over; if you find just the style you like, try them on; if they fit perfectly, try them out. That’svall. J. K. ORR SHOE CO. RED SEAL SHOE FACTORY ATLANTA
