SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT The Judge Takes a Stroll---So Does Mrs. Rumhauser By Tad By doe Aglcr. • CracKers’ First Bns®man. pHE Cra< Uurs nr. Ruin I capture the pennant it 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.

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 shows the |M.**lbllitlf«i Of liorimidn Uls squad loft the uliuot .in ill as any elub whtoh ever represent- , ,l the American League In this 1 > ‘ The \thletes found unusually rough weather on their return to the north but this did not seem to aflecl them IS it bad done tireviotisU when .h preparatory work had been carried out in Georgia.

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 pay a great part of the training ex penses Mr Kbbets is very fond 0, Chance s Yankees Just now. ] he big luar filled bis new park in the fliM game of the spring In this vidnlty The clubs are hooked to battle next vear at tin- new Darrell Field, (.barley is not adverse to grabbing off ft'.l the money he can and he sees a nice little not of it In Bermuda.

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, * then had a hard job dow ning Ten 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. ? * * C EWAXEE dTUrnzgd her game ^ againsl .Michigan, but as Michi gan seems t6q strong for all the Southern teams this year that does not st-t her so very far back. The Tigers* have jx lot of new men also 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 ♦ c,.,. h,a ..... would ho r1ispnver«»fl that .lankson s ha t - 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.
