THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2:). 0) X-V SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT Three Cheers and Then a Slam Copyright, 1913, National News Ass'n. By Tad 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. PRINCETON FOOTBALL STAR WEDS JERSEY CITY GIRL SUMMIT, N. J., April 23.—Sanford B. White, Princeton’s famous end, whose phenomenal runs won for the Tigers against both Yale and Har vard on the gridiron in 1911 and who also was a Princeton baseball star, was married here yesterday, the bride being' Miss Jeannette McAusland, daughter of Mrs. John McAusland, of Jersey City. The bridegroom is , onneeted with the International Har vester Company in Chicago.

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. GIBBONS BEATS BERGIN; BRITTON TRIMS DOOHAN NEW YORK, April 23.—Tom Gibbons, middleweight of St. Paul, brother of Mike, defeated Tom Bergin, ot Lewis ton, Maine, in a fast ten-round bout here 1.0-night. In a ten-round bout in Brooklyn Jack Britton, the Chicago lightweight, outpointed Johnny Doohan. of Brooklyn 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. r^TABI 'HEO 23 YEARS DR.E.G.

Baseball Contest Winners Named © © O © © © O 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 JK.

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. BLUE GEM $4.75 Bist Jellies $4.50 PIEDMONT COAL CO. Both Phones M. 3648 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 the* balance of the team. HoIIidav was such a wonder at the first sack 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 man. Eubanks Is another one of those hot weather men. He has about as much blood in his system as a lizard and it takes “sure enough” hot weather to get him going. The outfield i» going along with a good pace. With Capt.

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 - ham. for Wesleyan, worked the hit- and-run game to the extent of vic tory.
