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. MUTWJirr COLUMN- 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 player 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.

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. ** 'rown ESTABL e-HED 23 YEARS DR.E.G.

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.

Baseball Contest Winners Named © © o © © o o 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.

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.

Both Phenes M. 3648 T ECH flats Is the scene of some of the most active baseball prac tice that has ever been seen «round 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. Hollidav was such a wonder at the first sack that the team had sort of a hunch that Holliday would always ‘gtt them.” A mason, however, is fast gaining the confidence of the othei 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.
