Bi
Smith hu n the
greatest aggregation of baseball
players ever brought together in the
Southern League. Now 1 know that
»r making It pretty strong, but 1
believe every word of it and I am
go ng to make you fans think the
same way before 1 finish this article.
When the present season opened
our pitchers were a question mark.
Smith did not know Just what to ax-
peet from them. After what these
same twiriers have done two weeks'
U is safe to aay that they are th<
best in the league. If Price has good
* oni: ol this year he can easily win
twenty-five games. You all knjw
what Becker and Brady can do.
'They demonstrated their ability last
year, and they are going better than
ever right now. Mtixser is the boy
with the -curve and Weaver—well he
i* the beat pitcher In the league, that s
all.
. I read art article in a ItirrpIngham
paper the other day whi< h said tint
if Atlanta had Birmingham's pitch
ing staff we could win the pennant
thia year in a walk. Why, Bill Sml*ii
wouldn't trade a single one of his
pitchers for the best man Binning-
nem has .
Atlanta Infield Is Best.
Our infield is without a peer 'n
the South. What trio , of lnflelders
In the league can compare with Smith.
Keating and Alperman? And the.i
there's Yours Truly. Of course I
don't want to hand myself any
bouquets, so i will allow you to form
your own opinions. At any rate I
guess “Little Joe” can lust througn
the season all right.
On third Wally Smith is the champ
of them all You have all seen him
perform and he needs no introduction
to Atlanta fans. Whitey Alperman
is perhaps the brainiest man on the
team and a wonder at the hit and
run game Keating nt short is a bril
liant fielder and will no doubt show
his worth at the bat before the sea
son has gone far
Outfield Is Great.
And now lor the outfield. Did you
ever aee one in the Wouthern League
that could equal it? I never hav •.
Bailey, Long and W’elchonce can pi k
them off the fence,• out of the air
or any other way they happen to ar
rive. These boys have the arms too,
end when it comes their turn to bat.
they are there with the goods nil
the time.
I haven't forgotten our two back
stops. Dunn and Graham. They are
a pair of sluggers and can whip the
bail to second with the best of them.
The whole team works like a mi-
chine in which each man Is a 'og
in the wheels. Atlanta won the pen
nant in 1907 and again in 1909 with
poorer teams than we have got this
5 ear. and with the same old Billy
Smji i to guide us I can’t sec how
-\ve 8 are going to lose this time.
PAPKE AND McGOORTY TO
BOX IN MILWAUKEE RING
CHICAGO, April 19.—Negotiations
are under way toward the consum
mation of a big middleweight mat :h
for Milwaukee n<\t dune. The light
ers involved in the deal are Billv’
Papke of Kevvanee and Eddie Mo-
Goorty of Oshkosh.
Papke has admitted that he ex
pects his bad right hand to be ready
by that time and 1ms expressed a
willingness to mingle with any mid
dleweight of renown in a Crentn City
arena, provided there is money enough
1n sight for him.
The money will be there in ^
M< Goorty match all right, and *ii
chances are Eddie will nose out Bob
Moha in the scramble for a whack
at the Thunderbolt.
Torn Andrews probably will get the
match for the Hippodrome arena and
the men are expected to attract con
siderable over $10,000 in the way cf
gate receipts.

MEYERS’ WORK IMPROVES.
BROOKLYN. April 19. Bonnie
Meyers, of the Brooklyn team, was
given his first big league tryout by
Manager McGraw. of the Giants. In
1909 Meyers showed great stuff with
Joe Kelley's Toronto team last sea
son.

N EW YORK. April 19. Bermuda
is likely to become as much of
a contested question ns the
pennants of the major leagues.
Frank Chance proved conclusively the
benefit to be derived from the beau
tiful climate of this little island de
pendency of Great Britain.
When Chance lef^ New York for
Bermuda weighed 21f> pounds in
his winter overcoat. When he left
Bermuda for New York he scarcely
raised the beam at 182 pounds
stripped. Chance therefore took off
more than twenty-five pounds of ex
cess baggage, but that is not tb,e
point.
Chance went to Bermuda a physical
question mark. He had been unab'e
to play during two baseball cam
paigns. The layoff had rolled up many
pounds of useless flesh, if he hid
been a young ball player his tnsv
of getting into fit physical condi
tion would have been hard indeed.
For a veteran of fifteen years servi
the effort seemed absolutely impos
sible before Husk proved himself m
exception to the laws of "youth^will
be served.’’
Bermuda An Ideal Spot.
Frank Chance believes tfeat^Aie
would not have been able to over
come the handicap under which he
labored but for the rejuvenating cli
mate of Bermuda. He iH a living
example of w hat may . be accomplish-
. d there He was in Bermuda seven
works and calls it an ideal training
ground, lri less than four weeks he
was almost down to playing weight.
He started his “come back” effort®
ver\ doubtful as to the possibility
„f getting his legs into shape Ac
cording to Trainer Barrett, < hanc->
has the best pair of legs on tin
What Chance accomplished sitnjXly

The \thletes found unusually rough

This wns the fault of luck and not or

New York Will Return.
New York will return to BfljntuIJa
next year One other major league
club is likely to go there. Charles
II Khbets, the Brooklyn magnate oe-
lieves a visit would prove not onlv
beneficial but financially successful as
u el! lie Is only one of many who
think that u aeries of practice games
between two first class major league
Hubs would draw a gate sufficient to

It would be easy enough for two
or thro- big league teams to find
accomodations on the coral isle. Busi

big league field at Somerset This
town is twelve miles across the bay
from Hamilton and within easy tlriy

at the Navy Yards where the blue

would welcome major league athletes.

T ECH continues* to show up in her
games just about the way she
started off the season-*??tfong in
fielding and base running."and weak
in hitting. In the last game against
Mercer in Macon they secured only
three safe hits, although only a couple
of strike-outs were registered against
them; it i« a riddle past my ylvlng
why more of their plunks do not
land in uncovered territory.
In this game several of the Yel
low Jackets made exceptionally bril
liant fielding plays, and the feat of
scoring two runs off three hits, and
without errors by the other team,
speaks-well -for the base running.
Eubanks'\\?nt w efi ‘£or* seven innings
and seemed to hove the game in his
pbeketbook, arid then his* hold flipped
somehow and the fat was in thu fire.
Frankly, unless the Yellow Jack
ets can pick up in the matter of their
hitting, and that quickly, they are
going to be eliminated as a factor
in the pennant chase this year. Fine
defensive play and brilliant base work
are beautiful to lpok at, but somehow
they don’t win the games the way old
reliable smashing of the ball does.
1 begin to fear that the s*ix pew men
that the roster shows is too much of
a handicap when it comes to produc
ing the needful number of bingles
They may come to college with all
sorts of prep batting percentages, but
there isn’t one of them in ten that
will continue to hit heavy in his fresh
man year. The college pitchers seem
a bit too much for the youngsters
until they have had a year or two in
college and get their bearings.
In the two Hollands*, Sloan and
McLin. Tech lost a quartet of good,
reliable hitters, and thus far none
of the new men have shown ability
to fill the batting shoes of any of
these four. However, if they will con
tinue to refrain from striking out
they may be able to corral a few
more safeties In the near future.

/^EORGIA showed her ctoas: bv tak-
V - T ing two straight from Tulane
with all ea«*e. They continue to pro
duce the goods in large quantities
with the willow, whilo the new pitch
ers are doing equally fine work on
the mound. Corley's no-hit game
proved his class beyond all doubting.
It looks to me os though Georgia
has it on all the rest of the g. I. A.
A. teams by a full neck thus far in
the race.
* * *
A UBURN made it three straight
from Florida, and as the latter
took three straight from Mercer it
wmuld seem pretty clear that Auburn
will be able to put it on the Baptists
when they meet. The Florida series
shows that my contention, right after
Auburn had dropped the Georgia se
ries, that it would be well to sus
pend judgment before declaring the
Auburn team weak was well founded.
Auburn takes on Tech for threo
games on Friday and Saturday of this
week, and as the games are to be
played In Auburn it is not unlikely
that the A. P. l.’s will take the se
ries. If they do it will put new life
in their team and make them a hard
bunch for any other squad to snow
under for the rest of the season.
* * •
A LABAMA’S victories over Tulane
and over th* 1 A. & M. of Missis
sippi last week have boosted their
stock immensely, for it must be re
called that they have .shown good
form in all the other games they
have thus far played, whether they
were prep- or professional matches.
Much interest centers In the two
games they play with Georgia In Ath
ene this week. If either team takes
both games the result will be to put
the winner well in the lead for South
ern honors.

A7ANDERBILT lost to Cumberland,

nessee. then lost again co Michigan.
The Commodores are by no means
out of the running, but they are like
Tech and one or two others—on the
ragged edge, and they had better
watch sharp or they’ll break at the
quarter-pots, and that will be the
beginning of the end, I fear. If both
teams could have the luck to weather
the next gale or two they might come
stronger a little later on. #

C * LEMSON has made good on my
- prediction of a couple of weeks
ago by coming out fast and fulfilling,
even earlier than I expected, pome
of the promises they gave. Since los
ing to Tech they have not only won
a game from Georgia, but have also
defeated Furman and Ersklne. That
gives them a nice start in the South
Carolina race, and they are likely to
land that plum.

Blanding Thought He
Could Fool Ty Cobb
Pitchers Often Think They Have
Discovered Weakness in Batter;
Then Guess Again.
Shortly after Joe Jackson combed out
a lofty average and finished the season
of 1910 as leader of American League
batters, George Mullin declared that Joe
had a glaring weakness, and that the
South Carolina genius was only an or
dinary batsman.
George has had ample reason for re
gretting that statement since then. If
this season, and it will be interesting the figures were available it probably

to see what they and the new Tech
team can do with each other when
they meet here next month.
# * *
r T’ HE great difficulty in trying to
* dope out college games before
they are played, or in framing just
comment or criticism after they are
ployed resides in the fact that very
few of them play return engagements
in the same season. Thus Clemson
comes to-TOrh .and lo^s ,thj.«| year,
but Tech doesn't •?**» to jjfllemson this
year and so. YTie Tf^PT?"havd no equal
chance to get back at Tech this same
season. Rut Tech goes lo Auburn
and to Alabama and plays their whole
series for the year with those colleges
on these viHts. and can get no crack
at them on their home grounds. And
so with most every other Southern
college team.
* * *
V^ERCER has lost Pitcher Moses for
tin season, and Tech has lost
First Baseman Holliday, both hav
ing been ruled out for ineligibility.
These are both corking good men and
their teams °tHir nria«* them. The
Mercer team found last Saturday a
worthy successor to Moses in Pitcher
Hunt, who twirled ,i most creditable
game against Tech. The Baptists hit
very well indeed, and though they
lost the series to Florida they are
no more out of the pennant race, so
far at least, than is* Tech, which lat
ter team has lost their series to Mer-
cer. Of course to have a clear and | State. Utah and Brigham Young have
c’ean-cut claim to the title a team j all entered men In the different events,
should not lose a single series in the j
entire season, but sometimes they
all drop at least one series*, and then
would be discovered that Jackson s bat
ting average against Mullin in 19il and
191. was about .709.
W;.:* h brings to mind a secret which
Fred Blanding thought he had discov
ered last season while Birmingham was
in charge of the* Cleveland Club.
“I can fool that fellow on a curve.”
said Fred to Joe, referring to Ty Cohb.
“Never mind trying to fool him, Fred,’’
answered Joe. “Just shove one over
the plate and pray. That’s the best
way Put it on the outside and make
him hit to left field.’’
Fred did. Twice Tyrus flied to left
field. On Ty’s third trip up Fred de
emed to take a chance. He decided to
try that curve on the inside, which he
thought would fool the Georgian.
Ty was foo.ed—fooled so badly, in
fact, that he only secured a triple in
stead of a home run. The ball landed
high on the right field screen at League
Park.
“You certainly did fool him.’’ said the
manager after the inning was over.
