SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT

By Percy H. Whiting.
B ILL Smith, the well-known man
ager, and his famous team
trained ball flayers have return
ed from a brief and vivid sojourn
within the classic confines of the Ati;
• ■ns of Middle Tennessee and will ap
pear this afternoon, with the fir
strength of the company, in a bat
tie with Norman ElberfeUTs well-
meaning but unsuccessful Elberkids
This is Grand Opera Day at tin
park.
This does not necessarily mean thin
Bill Smith or any of his men will
sing. It refers merely to the fact
that, for purposes of politeness and
publicity, the mombeis of the Metro
politan Grand Opera Company have
been invited to attend the game—and
it means further that most of them
will be there.
A special car will run from the
hotel to the ball park for their ben
efit and they will travel in style. Di
rectors of the baseball association
will have interpreter's on hand to ex
plain the mysteries of the great
American game to such of the un
fortunate but well-meaning opera
stars as are not wise to the compil
ations of base hits and fielders’
choices.
* * ♦
'T'HE Crackers play six games at
* home this trip. And before they
Have Bill Smith will probably com
plete hU thinning out, for there is no
use in carting any excess ball play
ers around the South
At the risk of peeving Bill Smith,
who has a justified objection to pre
dictions about the line-up of 1:1s
we risk the guess at the r.i r,
Who will go will be:
Lsw McAllister, catcher.
Buok Becker, pitcher.
Len Dobard, infielder.
* * •
T F this prediction goes through it
1 will leave the Cracker team with
only one left hander. However, Bill
Smith is a believer in keeping a hurl-
er because of his ability to win, not
because he happens to be a left-hand
er or a right-hander.
Becker has the ability, under nor
mal circumstances. But Buck’s health
hasn't been very vigorous this spring
and he seems to have lost his effec
tiveness.
The release of McAllister, if it
comes, will be a tremendous surprise
to a lot of fans, who have counted
on him as a regular
Originally Bill Smith had no notion
of keeping Pat Graham. But Pat has
played such grand ball that there
isn’t a chance on earth to let him go.
A thing like that hapens every
now and then. A man is slated for
the discard from the day he reports
until the last cut. If we recall it
right there was a little feeling-out
done to see if somebody didn't want
to buy Pat.
Now Graham, being a wise gink,
didn't say a word. But, murder, the
wood he sawed! His catching was
perfection and his hitting tremen
dous.
Bill likes a scrapper of the Gra
ham sort and Smith took to the pep
pery catcher right away.
And now Graham has grabbed a
job.
The choice of the other catcher
narrowed down to Dunn and McAl
lister. And between them there was
little to choose. But because Dunn
knows the league and because he is
a cheaper man than McAllister it is
likely that he will stick.
...
I F Jack Kernan hangs on as utility
man, which is the hot tip right
now, it will be another ease of quiet
perseverance winning. The Chicago
lad has stuck it out. played his best,
talked little—and now he is almost
ertain of a job.
* * *
'T’HE way the Crackers mashed the
Vols in yesterday’s game was
helpful. If it had happened that the
locals had met another defeat the
fans would have be4n worried, good
and plenty. But the victory cheered
everybody and confidence still runs
strong that Smith has a pennant win
ning ball cl*b.
TO-DAY; BRADY
*jsm
By Joe Agler.
W ELL, the Crackers are home
again and ready to hook up
this afternoon with Manager
Elberfeld’s team. I judge Manager
Smith will use Weaver to-day, and If
the tali Tennesseean is in trim, which
I believe he will be, we ought to have
pretty easy sailing. However, Man
ager Elberfeld has been strengthening
his tail-enders right along, and the
handy way they trimmed Birmingham
yesterday demonstrated that they
lack a lot of being all in.
* * *
VT’ESTERDAY in Nashville we just
1 fairly romped. King Brady
pitched royal ball and we had ’em
9 to 1 at the wind-up. Could have
made It more, but we wanted to leave
on the night train and it was mighty
near supper time.
It was . a great day yesterday for
fancy fielding and for double play*.
Everybody was going good out in the
lot, and the way we smothered the
Vols with some doubles was a cau
tion.
The Crackers had the game won in
the first inning, but they didn’t stop
there. Instead they romped over the
Vol hurlers, bowling them over as
fast as Schwartz set them up.
* * *
p ROBABLY the best play of the day
L was made by Johnny Lindsay,
who made one corking stop, hut the
Crackers were all there with mar
velous plays.
The Crackers turned up here this
morning in corking fine condition, and
I think they will give a good account
of themselves this week. They looked
mighty good in the Nashville games,
and with anything like even luck
would have taken three out of four.
At that you have to hand it to Bill
Schwartz for having a corking good
ball club.
FALKENBERG TO BE OUT OF
GAME FOR SEVERAL WEEKS
CLEVELAND. OHIO, Arpi! 23 —Oy
Falkenberg. the come-back of the
Naps’ twirling staff, will be out of the
game for several weeks, according to
i he club physician. Falkenberg is
suffering with a splintered bone in
his pitching arm just below the el
bow.
He was hit on the arm by a fast
shoot propelled by Pitcher George
Boehler, of the Detroit Tigers, last
Tuesday, He finished that game,
winning 9 to 0, and defeated the White
Sox 9 to 2 last Saturday. Since then
his arm has become worse and an
X-Ray will be necessary.

BUFFALO PLAYERS MAY
JOIN NEW ORGANIZATION
NEW' YORK, April 23.—President
Dave Fultz and Walter Johnson and
Milan, of the Washington Club, held
a conference with the Toronto and
Buffalo ball teams at noon Monday.
The meeting was for the purpose
of lining up the two teams In the
Federation of Players, an organiza
tion started by Fultz, a former played
and now a lawyer, for mutual pro
tection to work in harmony with
the club owners. Doubtless in time
it will mean a ball players’ union.
Players of both teams will join as
one man.

HAUGHTON SIGNS 3-YEAR
CONTRACT WITH HARVARD
CAMBRIDGE. MASS., April 23.—
After playing the “hold-out" role for
several months, Percy D. Haughton
has signed a three-year contract to
coach the Harvard football team. His
annual salary wfll be $6,B<M>,'ft is said.
REDS WEAK IN BOX.
CINCINNATI, April 23.—It has sud
denly dawned on Cincinnati critic*
that the Reds are weak in the box.
This defect was pointed out many
weeks ago, but Manager Tinker stood
pat. If the Reds stick around in the
ruck there’ll be hard times ahead for
Tinker.
TOMMY MEE IS SOLD.
WICHITA, KAN., April 23.—Tommy
Alee, utility fielder, was sold by the
Wichita Western League team yes
terday to the Grand Rapids Club of
the Central League.
T HE promotors of the leraonweight touruameut tu Philadelphia the
other night, earned the thanks of prize-ring scientists for getting all
of the white hopes together and letting us see just exactly liow
had they are.
There is now no longer any doubt about It. The only one we have
seen—and we have seen all of them except Jess Willard—who has any
thing worth while is Gunboat Smith, and lie has nothing but a punch.
They ought to drag Willard out where we cau loot him over and then
abolish the lemonweight division for all time.
It. is possible that some day some years hence l.utber McCarty may
be a pretty fair heavyweight and a young man named Aforan also showed
that he has a faint idea of what he is about when gloves are tied onto his
hands and he is pushed into a ring. But. for the rest! If it ever becomes
our painful duty to witness the antics of any «f that gang again we will!
feel it to be our stern cdyic duty to slip something into their tea the day
before.
Coming back from Philadelphia we fell in with a number of scientists
who attended the clinic, among them a well-known promotor of one of
the big eastern dubs. To him we remarked that while the habit of betting
on prize-fights did not help inculcate those principles of manliness and fair
play, we would risk twenty-five Cents or any fraction thereof on the propo
sition that Sam I-angford would knock out any four of the eight men who
appeared in the show within thirty minutes from the time the first one
entered the ring. He looked upon us as If we had tried to steal his watch.

T HE Washington Post prints the following editorial under the head
ing “The Case of Ty Cobb:’’
Ty Cobb’s friends in Copgress who have an idea that ball players
are held in peonage and ought to be set free, so that they may lie able
lo command $15,000 a year and an automobile for six mouths’ work
of two hours a day, had better have a care lest their solicitous en
deavors do their favorite more harm than good.
An act of Congress that would do away with the existing system
of contracts between baseball clubs and players inevitably would cost
Ty Cobb dear. Next season would see his' princely salary revised
downward to a mere fraction of the $15,000 that looks so modest to
the peonage busterN. Professionally, the whole baseball fabrft: would
be tottering to Ms fall, and where then would Congress find surcease
from grinding toil at $7,500 per, or just half of Ty’s slave wage'.'
More than once In the earlier days of baseball, before the binding
contract now in vogue had been perfected, the strong rivalry between
managers and the practice of players jumping contracts brought things
to a pass not far from utter demoralisation. Litigation over players
whose services were in dispute developed the fact that the contracts
were not valid in low, but as the judges uniformly ruled that the
courts had no jurisdiction over controversies arising from sports, the
cases were dismissed. It then became necessary to strengthen the sys
tem in a way that would Insure a square deal all around. Each league
established a tribunal to settle disputes, with, the light of appeal to the
national baseball commission, another supreme court from which no ap
peal can be taken.
That baseball is a law unto itself may strike Congress us being a
legal fiction, but that the judges who so niled-acted for the best interests
of the game is fully attested by its popularity with the great public and
l lie prosperity It has brought to magnates and players. As for Ty Cobb.
I hat champion of champions shows that lie has a true appreciation of
the situation by going to Detrott to patch up differences, rntber than
coming to Washington to have Congress knock off bis shackles.

^CELLING surgical instruments that’s a business. Box fighting that’s
no business.”
The above came to us over the wire from New Orleans last night. The
message carried the J. Hancock of one Joe Golden. Joseph Is the manager
of Joe Thomas. Also said Golden sells surgical instruments. And it. looks
as though he will have to sell many an instrument during the next few days
or else separate himself from three squares per.
Thomas wa* stopped bv Charley White in New Orleans night before
Iasi, and the boxing experts were given a terrible kick in the ribs. Thomas
sure looked like a coming champion In his bouts here in Atlanta. But many
overlooked the fact that he is possessed of a glass jaw.
Frank Whitney knocked him down with a short left hook. Thomas de
feated Whitney that night, although the referee called it a draw. Whitney
admitted to us that Thomas shaded him.
“But let me tell you that Thomas can’t, take a clip on the chin." said
Whitney the morning after the fight. "I dropped him with a shot left and
I didn’ have much steam behind it, either. The first time he goes up against
a heavy puncher he will be counted out. if he doesn’t guard his chin.”
And Whllney!s dope was the jammy Rtuff. Thomas is the fastest 133-
pounder in the game to-day. But he’ll never get anywhere with that
china chin.

T y COBB, tbe celebrated holdout, is apparently about to immolate him
self on. the altar of baseball freedom. The Georgia tornado has defied
the Big Works of baseball to do his or their worst and let the reserve clause
fall where it may.
Loping down the back alleys of history, this line of conduct has never
netted tbe conductor anything but a quick and glorious death. There was
one Ajax, a noted slugger a few seasons hack, who handed out the same
beaned with a thunderbolt, which was the somewhat uncouth but effective
wav of blacklisting a rambunctious athlete tn those days. The magnates of
this enlightened age are more refined. They merely starve a man to death.
In this case tbe magnates are up against a nasty proposition even for
them to handle. Cobb 1* not a pauper. He has made a lot. of money playing
baseball and a lot more with hia baseball earnings. An auto manufacturer
or two would like to have him engage to bunk the citizenship of the United
States Into riding tn motor-cars. And the gate receipts of the Detroit club
on the road will undoubtedly fall off to a marked extent. If any athlete
had to in surge for his rights Cobb was the best man who could be picked.

PRINCETON. N. J., April 23—The
annual financial report of the Prince

the total Tiger football receipts last
season were over $59,000. The ex
penses were $23,900, leaving a net gain
in the sport of about $33,000. A net
profit of $9,000 was made by baseball.

Homer George Gets First Prize
By J. W. Heisman.
T £CH dropped two out of there
down at Auburn last week, and
this puts it definitely out of the
running for pennant honors.
At that it remains somewhat of a
puzzle to many who saw the games
why Tech did not win the series, for
at all stages they appeared, even in
the opinion of the Auburnites. :o
have ihe better team. They lost both
the first and the third games in the
very' last inning of each, and by a
single run. and in both instances the
winning run was scored by virtue of
the catcher dropping a perfect throw
to the plate, which would have re
tired the runner for a certainty.
And yet there was plenty of excuse
for both Witherlngton and Attridge.
the catchers who performed. In the
seventh inning of Friday’s game
Witherlngton had a finger dislocated
by a foul tip, and it pained him so
for the rest of the game that he
scarcely knew whether he was hold
ing a ball or not. During the early
part of the third game Attridge had
a finger nail torn loose at the root
by another foul tip, and this left him
in about the same condition as was
Witherlngton the day before. And
these two injured fingers had to cost
Tech two games by one run each and
the series.
In the game Tech won they got out
their batting togs and landed on that
pitcher, Davis, for about 14 hits, inora
or less. In the three games thev
scored 16 runs to Auburn’s 11. Both
Amason and Tyler Montague, Tech’s
new men in the line-up, played su
perbly, each getting four hits In the
three games. Amason performed bril
liantly on first, accepting about 30
chances without an error.
The Auburn diamond Is a particu
larly hard and uneven one. and about
as difficult to play good ball on as can
be found; but the Yellow' Jackets
kept up their fine defensive game, in
spite of the wonderful home run hit
ting of Williams and Davenport, with
result that they kept their record of
no higher than four runs for oppo
nents in any one game intact.
Auburn has a better team than It
has had in some time, Davenport at
first, and Williams behind the plate,
being especially serviceable men.
Moulton, at short, is another good
man. Davis is undoubtedly a very’
good pitcher when in condition, but
he was under the handicap of a
sprained ankle In the game he lost
Tech.
Moore and Donaldson played ball
that was much admired throughout
the series. The whole Tech team
seems to have awakened and from
this time on I expect to see them
making it very rough going for every
team they meet.
* * *
G EORGIA’S clean cut defeat of Ala
bama in two straight games, and
the latter’s similar performance
against Mercer in Macon, clears up
the atmosphere considerably. Doubt
less the effectiveness of the Georgia
pitchers had much to do, If not most,
wtth Alabama’s inability' to wrest a
game from the Athenians; but all that
is a part, of baseball and must go in
the summary. The fact that Ala
bama could turn around and put it
over Mercer in so clever a fashion
makes the performance of the Red
and Black warriors all the more mer
itorious.
There can be no question but what
at this stage of the game Georgia
looks to have the strongest college
team in Dixie, and their chances are
extra good for grabbing the rag. It
Is true they have played nearly cJl
their games on home grounds bur,
unless T mistake, nearly all of their
schedule that remains is to be run off
In Athena algcv, go there is not much
chance of an upset on that score.
* * •
M ERCER is also definitely out of
all pretentions to championship
honors for this year, having dropped
a series to Florida and a second to
Alabama. Without Moses the Bap
tists are weak In the box, and are
making a pretty good showing with
what they have left, all things con
sidered. It should be a hard fought
series between them and Auburn the
last of this week, but I hardly think
their pitchers will be able to stop Au
burn’s heavy sluggers.
♦ * *
V ANDERBILT turned around and
administered sound drubbings to
Tennessee In the return series of
games. This shows that the Commo
dores are coming out of the depths.
But as news comes that Collins has
just signed a big league contract I
Incline to think that his loss will
leave the team in a greatly weakened
condition, in which they will fall a
prey to some other association team

H OMER GEORGE manager of the
Atlanta Theater and sport en
thusiast of many years' stand
ing. was the winner of the big prize
in the Georgian's baseball contest.
With a story that would do credit
to any baseball writer in Americ a he
copped off two fret season tickets to,
the Atlanta baseball park at Ponce
DeLeon.
After him were bunched eight At
lantans with baseball yarns of such
equal merit that it was impossible
to decide among them. The order
In which tney appear above is nol
intended to show their ranking. The
judges of the contest—Messrs. Cal
laway, Rvan and Nunnally, directors
of the baseball association—grew gray
headed under the strain of awarding
a first. Then they lost a lot more
in cutting the contestants do*n to
the limit.
Said President Frank Callaway af
ter announcing the awards, “I was
amazed at the excellence of the stor
ies which were in competition for
the prizes. There was very little to
choose among the first fifteen. We
tried to judge them all by the stand
ard of the sort of story that a live
fan would want to read about a game
such as the one indicated. It was
a more difficult task than I suppos
ed. It took but a little time to read
the stories but, it took a lot to de
cide the best one. Mr. George’s story
is a particularly good one and well
deserves the first prize The others
were excellent also. We were sorry
that any had to be thrown out and
we admit that w» were forced to de
clare out many that we considered
of great merit, though not quite up
to the class of the winners.''
■* * *
T HE contest proved one of the most
successful of its kind ever at
tempted.
The'contestants numbered up into
the thousands and the preliminary
job of thinning out the worst ones,
preparatory to the real work of judg
ing was monumental. It was done
with extreme care, however and it is
felt that the nine prize winners were
the nine men whose stories came
nearest to representing what the av
erage fan wants to read about a ball
game
• * •
T HE prizes will all be distributed
in time to-day so that the lucky
winner can attend the game this aft
ernoon. If your name is in the list
come to the Georgian, climb one pair
of stairs and go to the sporting edi
tor’s desk. You will find your free
tickets awaiting you.
PREP LEAGUE NOTES
Joe Bean, of Mariat, says that if the
authorities are willing the annual prep
meet scheduled to take place at lech
Flat* or. May 9 can be held on the field
at Marist. This would be a good idea,
as the Tech Flats are not in condition
yet to hold a meet of this sort, and the
Tech upper campus is not a fit place
to hold this event on. Bean says he
will have a six lap track laid off and
many other conveniences for the ath
letes if the meet is held at Marist.
• *
Bean thinks that his team win cop
the prize at this annual meet He is
working the boys hard every day. and
has developed some classy sprinters and
hurdlers. The only department in
which the school is weak m the field
events, and Joe will turn his atten
tion to these from now on
...
Allen and Lewis are two stars at
Marist in the 100-yarri dash, and in
practice they look like they could give
anv of the boys at Tech High or
Bovs High an awful chase Both Allen
and Lewis have records of less than 11
seconds for the century run
• * *
Riverside made it twelve straight vic
tories for the season when they beat
Dahlonega Monday at Gainesville. The
game went ten innings, and Riverside
won 3 to 2. Dahlonega was ahead un
til the eighth inning, when Riverside
tied the score. A single and a base
on balls, coupled with a safe bunt,
scored the winning run in the tenth.
a • •
Ross Haines, who was pitching for
the Boys Higii team last year, is play
ing with Riverside. Haines is making
good. too. and It is largely through Ills
splendid twirling that the Gainesville
lads have been able to win so many
games this season The team has not
vet been defeated.
• • ♦
Rome High School galloped away with
everything at the Seventh District high
school meet at Csirtersvllle yesterday.
Nine schools were entered In this meet.
Track events, baseball games and even
debates were on the program Rome
High came first in everything Tbe
members of the track team will be sen.
to Athens for the State meet Juty i.
• * •
This afternoon Marist and Peacock
will meet on the Marist diamond. TTils
will be the. first meeting of the 'wo
teams this year. Judging by the games
that both have played so far, Marist
should have little trouble in winning
this game
* * *
Lockridge is being looked upon as the
chief point winner for Boys High in the
big prep meet May 9. He is a crack
sprinter, and won three firsts in the
meet last Friday between Tech and
Boys High schools.
• * a
BUI Bedell, of Tech High, appears u»
be the best all around athlete among
the prep schools of this section. It is
seldom that a man can win in the
sprints and weight events both, as these
two do not usually go together. Bedell
wor the hammer throw and the 100-
yard dash In the meet last Friday.
So far this season the leading bat
ters are on tbe Tech High team Be
dell and Parks have higher averages
than any other players In the league.
Allen, of Marist, and Armistead, of
Boys High, are close on their heels in
number of safeties gathered. Bedell
also holds the stolen base record so far
this season.
Boys High is trying to make arrange
ments with Marist to play off their tie
game on Friday of this week at Tech
Flats. Bovs High has won three games
ami lost none.
If Piedmont Parlv is opened early
enough this year. Boys High will have
a polo team. Many of the athletes are
expert swimmers, and a good team could
be organized. If all arrangements can
be made satisfactorily, some aquatic
meets will be scheduled with some of
the prep schools that have teams
• * *
Candler and Jones are the favorites
In the Boys High tennis tournament
which will take place at East Lake
this week. The tournament will com
mence Thursday and end on Saturday.

T ECH flats Is the scene of some of
the most active baseball prac
tice that has ever been aeon
around this part of the country. Coach
Heisman has got on his fighting
clothes and is putting the team
through the kind of practice that puts
pep in the slow and steadiness in the
flighty.
The absence of Holliday at the in
itial sack has put sort of a crimp in

that the team had sort of a hunch
that Holliday would always "get
them. - ’ Amazon however, is fast
gaining the confidence of the other
players and In a short time will be
playing a great game. He is all right *
as a fielder, but is weak in the ash.
Edgar Montague is playing a good
game at second. He is sure as death
and is good on sizing up a play. A
little more size and he would be a
strong candidate for All-Southern
honors Montague has a good man
as his partner in Donaldson, who
plays short. Donaldson is a gooi _
fielder and is batting in the clean-up
position. Shortstop has always been
Tech’s weak spot but not so this
year. It is due to a great extent to
Donaldson's coolness and steadiness
that the Tech infield is as steady as
it is under fire.
The pitchers are going good now
and when the hot weather breaks for
good, Tech will be right there with
the goods. Pitts is a warm weather

OHIO WESLEYAN DEFEATS
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
DELAWARE, OHIO, April 23.—
Two runs in the second and another
pair in the lucky seventh gave Ohio
Wesleyan enough tallies to win from
the University of Georgia yesterdav.
4 to 3.
The Southerners took the jump in
the second frame, when Henderson.
Hitchcock and Clements bingled for
three runs, but after that the boys
from Ty Cobb’s Commonwealth were
unable to connect 1n bunches.
Hitchcock loosened up in the sec
ond period, allowing a couple of sin
gles. and again In the third round he
became generous, giving two walks, a
hit by pitcher and a single.
The additional runs came in the
seventh frame, when Hyer and Need -

tory. Henderson, for Georgia, and
Potts, for the Ohio Methodists, w«r*
most effective with the stick.
