TO-DAY: Bumf
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 tall 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 plays.
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.
* * *
OROBABLY the best play of the day
L was made by Johnny Lindsay,
who made one corking stop, but the
Crackers were all there with mar
velous plays.
The Crackers turned up here this
morning in corking fihe 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.

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

and now- a lawyer, for mutual pro

the club owners. Doubtless in time
it will mean a ball players’ union.
Players of both teams will join as

CAMBRIDGE, MASS, April 23.—
After playing the "hold-out”' role for
several months, Percy D. Haughton
has signed a three-year contract to

annual salary will be $6,000, it is said.
REDS WEAK IN BOX.
CINCINNATI, April 23.—It has sud
denly dawned on Cincinnati critic*
that the Reds are w r eak 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 tlme£ ahead for
Tinker.
TOMMY MEE IS SOLD.
WICHITA, KAN., April 23.—Tommy
Mee, utility fielder, was sold by the
Wichita Western League team yes
terday to the Grand Rapids Club of
the Central Teague.
T HE promotors of the lemonwtdght tournament in Philadelphia the
other night earned the thanks of prize-ring scientists for getting ail
of the white hopes together ami letting us see just exactly how
tad 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 he lias nothing hut a punch.
They ought to drag Willard out where we can look hinl over and then
abolish the lemonweight division for all time.
It is possible that some day some years hence l.utlier McCarty may
be a pretty fair heavyweight and a young man named Moran also showed
that he has a faint idea of what he is about when gloves are tied onto his
hands and he is pmdieil into a ring. But. for the rest! If it over becomes
our jiafuful duty to witness the antics of any of tiiat gang again we will'
feel it to be our stern civic duty to slip something into their tea the dav
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 clubs. To him we remarked that while the habit of lotting
on prize-fights did not help inculcate those principles of manliness and fair
play, we would risk twenty-five cents or any fraction thereof qn tip: propo
sition that Sam Dangford 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 liad 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 Congress who have an idea that ball players
are held in peonage and ought to be set free, so that they may be able
to command $15,000 a year and an automobile for six months’ work
of two hours a day. had better have n cure 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 primely salary revised
downward to a mere fraction of the $15,000 that looks so modest to
the peonage busters. Professionally, the whole baseball fabric would
be tottering to ita fall, and where then would Congress find surcease
from grinding toil at $7,500 per. or just half of Ty’s slave wage?
Slore than once In the earlier days of baseball, before the binding
contract now in vogue had been [>erfected. the strong rivalry lietween
managers and the practice of players jumping contracts brought things
to a pass not far from utter demoralization. Litigation over players
whose services were in dispute develoi>ed the fact that the contracts
were not valid in law. but as the judges uniformly ruled that the
courts had no jurisdiction over controversies arising from sports, the
eases 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 rigid 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 as being a
legal fiction, but that the judges who so ruled acted for the best interests
of the game is fully attested by its popularity with the great public and
the prosperity it has brought to magnates and players. As for Ty Cobb,
that champion of champions shows that he lias a true appreciation of
the situation by going to Detroit to patch up differences, rather than
coming to Washington to have Congress knock off his shackles.

ELDING surgical instruments that’s a business. Box fighting that's
eJ 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 was stopped by Charley White in New Orleans night before
last, 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 lefl 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 lake 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 lie goes up against
a heavy puncher he will be counted out if he doesn't guard his chin.”
And Whitney’s dope was the jammy stuff. Thomas is the fastest 1.33-
ponnder in the game to-day. But he’ll never get aiiywherq vvitli that
china chin.

'll COBB, the celebrated holdout, is apparently abom li). immolate him
1 self on the altar of baseball freedom. The Georgia tornffdo lias 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 the conductor anything but a quick and glorious death. There was
one Ajax, a noted slugger a few seasons back, who handed out the same
beaned with a thunderbolt, which was the somewhat uncouth but effective
way of blacklisting a rambunctious athlete in those days. The magnates of
tills enlightened age are more refined. They merely starve a man to death.
In this case the magnates are up against a nasty proposition even for
them to handle. Cobb is not a pauper. He has made a lot of money playing
baseball and a lot more with his baseball earnings. An auto manufacturer
or two would like to have him engage to bunk the citizenship of the United
States into riding in 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 insurge for his rights Cobb was the best man who couM be picked.

Homer George Gets First Prize
By >J. W. Heilman.
T SCH 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 i
why Tech did not win the series, for !
at all stages they appeared, even in I
the opinion of the Auburnites. ro !
have the better team. They lost both
the first arid the third games in the I
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
tiree the runner for a certainty.
And yet there whs plenty of excuse
for both Witherington and Aitridge.
the catchers who performed, in the
seventh inning of Friday's game
Witherington 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 baJ! or not. During the eariv i
part of the third game Attridge bad
a finger nail torn loose at the root !
by another foul tip. and this lefLiilin
in about the same condition gs was
Witherington 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, more
or less. In the three games they
sebred 36 runs to Auburn’s 13. Both
A mason 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 ran
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 Iihs a better team than it
has had in some time, Davenport at
first, ant] William* behind the plate,
being especially serviceable men.
Moulton, at short, is another good
man. Davis i» undoubtedly a very
good pjtcher when in condition, but
he was under the handicap of a
sprained ankle in the game he lost to
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.
* * *
BORGIA'S clean cut defeat of Ala-
bama in two straight games, and
the latter’s similar performance
against Mercer in Macon, clears up
ill*' atmosphere considerably. Doubt
less the effectiveness of the Georgia
pitchers had much to do, if not most,
with 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 wh*t
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
their games on home grounds but,
unless I mistake, nearly all of their
schedule that remains is to be run off
In Athens also, so there is not much
chance of an upset on that score.
* * •
M ERCER is also definitely out of
all pretensions 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.
0 * *
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 tfu y will fall a
prey to some other association team
yet.

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 America he
copped off two fre< season tickets to
the Atlanta baseball park at Ponce
DeLeon.
Alter 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 they appear above is not
intended to show their ranking. The
judges of the contest—Messrs. Fal
la way. Ryan 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 down 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
Ian would want to read about a game
such as the one indicated. It was
a more difficult task than 1 suppos
ed. It took but a little time to read
the stories but it took a k»t to de
cide the best one. Mr. George's story
is a particularly good one and well
<5yserves the first prize. Thr others
were excellent also. We were sorry
that any had to be thrown out and
we admit that we 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 waa done
with extreme care, however and it 1s
felt that the nine prize winners were
the nine men whose stories came
nearest to Representing what the av
erage Tan wants to read about a bali
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 iist
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
.roe Bean, of Marini, nays that if the
authorities arc wlltinK the annual prep
meet scheduled to take place at 'V'ech
Flats on Mav S can be held on the field
at Marini 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 will 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 Is the field
events, and Joe will turn his atten
tion 1o these from now on.
* * *
Allen and Lewis are two stars at
Marist In the 100-yard dash, and m
practice they look like they could give
any of the boys at Tech High or
Boys High an awful chase. Both Allen
end Lewis have records of less than 11
seconds for the century run.
* * *
Riverside made it twelve straight vic
tories for. the season when they heat
Dahlonega Monday' at Gainesville. 'The
game vrent 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,
iscored the winning run in the tenth
• * *
Runs Hnines, who was pitchim; for
the Boys High team last year, is play
ing with Riverside. Haines is making
good. too. and it Is largely through his
splendid twirling that the (Jainesville
lads hav* 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 Cartersvtlte 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 The
members of the track team will be sem
to Athens for the State meet Juiy •».
• * •
This afternoon Marist and Peacock
will meet on the Marist diamond. This
will be the first meeting of the two
teams this year. Judging by the games
that both have played so far, Marist
should have little trouble in winning
this game
• * *
l>o< krirtge 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 Tiigh schools.
• • •
Bill Bedell, of Tech High, appears to-
be the best all around athlete among
the prep schools of this section. It is
Seldom tiiat a man can win in the
sprints and weight events both, as these
two do not usually go together. Bedell
woo the hammer throw and the 100-
yard dash in the meet last Friday.
So far this season the leading bat
ters arc on the Tech High team. Re
do! I 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 s trying to make arrange
ments with Marist to play off their tie
game on Friday of this week at Tech
Flats. Boy-s High has won three games
and lost none.
If Piedmont Park is opened early
enougli this year. Boys High will have
a polo team. Many of the athletes are
expert swimmers, and a good team could
!>e organised. If all arrangements can
lie made satisfactorily', some aquatic
meets win be scheduled with seas of
the prep schools that have teams
* » «
Candler and Jones are the favorites
in t lie Boys High tennis tournament
which will take place at Last Lake
this week. The tournament will com
mence Thursday and end on Saturday.

Heisman has got on his fighting

The absence of Holliday at the in

players And in a short time will be
playizuf « great game. He is all right
ar a fielder, but is weak in the ash.
Edgar Montague is playing a gocF
game at second. He is sure as deav--*
and is good on sizing up a play. 2^
little more size and he would be f*
strong candidate for All-South**"
honors. Montague has a good m»
as his partner in Donaldson, wter
plays short. Donaldson is a
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 sy&tem as a
lizard and it takes “sure enough’’ hot
weather to get him going.
The outfield is go : ng along with ;i
good pace. With Capt. Montague
holding down the left garden, his
brother Tyler in the center position
and Wooten in right the pitchers have
no fear of anything big getting by.
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 yesterda\,
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 in 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 vhe extent of vic
tory. Henderson, for Georgia, and
Potts, for the Ohio Methodists, were
most effective with the stick.
