THE Crackers play six games at

J,U the risk of peeving Bill Smith,
Iho has a justified objection to pre-
■ettons about the line-up of his
[ub, we risk the guess that the men
he will go will be:
1 Low McAllister, catcher.
Buck Becker, pitcher.
I Len Dobard, infieider.
IF this prediction goes through it
will leave the Cracker team with
Ly one left hander. However. Bill
nith is a believer in keeping a hurl-
because of his ability to win, not
Ecause he happens to be a left-hand-
or a right-hander.
|Becker has the ability, under nor-
lal circumstances. But Buck's health
ksn’t been very vigorous this spring
Ed he seems to have lost his effec-
(veness.
lTlie release of McAllister, if it
pines, w ill be a tremendous surprise
a lot of fans, who have counted
him as a regular.
Originally Bill Smith had no notion
' keeping Pat Graham. But Pat has
I ved i uch grand ball that there

A thing like that hapens every

[Now Graham, being a wise gink,
Jdn't sat a word. But, murder, the

Bill likes a scrapper of the Gra-

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 EJberfeld has been strengthening
his tail-endere right along, and the
handy way they trimmed Birmingham
yesterday demonstrated that they
lack a lot of being all in.
YESTERDAY 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 w^as mighty
near supper time.
It was a great day yesterday for
fancy fielding and for double plays
Everybody w’as 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 oyer the
Vol hurlers, bowling them over a«

T HE promotors of the lemonweight tournament in Philadelphia the
other night earned the thanks of prize-ring scientists for getting all
of the white hopes together and Jetting us see just exactly b«>w
l ad they are.
There is now no longer any doubt atxjut it. The only one we have
seen—and we have seen all of them except Jess Willard—who has any
thing worth while is («unt>oat Smith, and he lias nothing but a punch.
They ought to drag Willard out where we can look him over and then
abolish the iemonweight division for all time.
It is possible that some day some years hence Luther 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 pushed into a ring. But. for the rest! If it ever liecomes
our painful duty to witness the antics of any of that gang again we will*
feel it to be our stern civic duty to slip something into their tea the day
before.
Coming back from Philadelphia we fell in with a number <>f scientists
w r ho attended the clinic, among them a well-known promotor oT 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 on the propo
sition that Sam Langford would knock out any four of the eight men who
appealed in the show’ within thirty minutes from the tine* the first one
entered the ring. He looked upon os as if we luid tried to steal his watch.
I3FiOBABLY the best play of the day
A w r as 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 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.
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

T HE Washington Post prints the following editorial under the head
ing “The Case of Ty Cobb:”
T.v 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 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 r-ontracts between baseball clubs and prayers 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 busters. Professionally, the whole baseball fabric would
be tottering to its 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 7 in vogue had been jierfected. 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 developed 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
cases were dismissed. It then became necessary to strcngtlien,,t)uy sys
tem in a way that would insure a sijuare dr;al ail unmmL . JiiuikUeague
established a tribunal to settle disputes’! with the right 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 T.v Cobb,
that champion of champions shows that he has 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.

ELLING surgical instruments that’s a business. Box fighting that’s
no business.”
The above came to u.s over the wire front New Orleans last night. The
message carried the 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 jipv.
Frank Whitney knocked him down with a short,.left hook. Thomas de
feated Whitney that night, although the referee called it « 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. “T 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 Whitney’s dope was the jantiny stuff. Thomas iq the fastest 133-
pounder in the game to-day. But he’ll never get anywhere with that
china chin. J
'I COBB, the celebrated holdout,,,is apparently about to immolate him-
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 hut a quick atxj glorious death. There was
one Ajax, a noted slugger a few' seasons back, who handed out the same
tieaned with a thunderbolt., which was the somevsjiat uncouth but effective
way of blacklisting a rambunctious athlete in those'days. The magnates of
this enlightened age are more refined. They merely starve a man to death.
In this case the magnates are up against a nasty broposition 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
the road will undoubtedly fall off to p marked extent. If any athlete
had to insurge for his rights-Cobb was the best man w ho could he picked.

B) .1. \Y. HeLsuuui.
2CH dropped two out of there
two
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 w in the series, for |
at all stages they appeared, even in |
the opinion of the AuDurnites. to ;
have the better team. They lost both
the first and the third games in the i
very last inning of each, and by a !
sing!*' run, and in both instances the
w inning 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.
Aud yet there was plenty of excuse j
for both Witherington and Attridge. !
the catchers who performed, in the
seventh inning of Friday's game
Witherington ha«l a finger dislocated
by a fbui tip. and it pained him so
for ’ithe rest of the game that he
scarcely knew whether he was hold
ing a hall or not. During the early
part of the third game Attiidge had
a finger nail torn loose at the root
by another foul tip. and this left him
in about the same condition as 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, mors
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 WilliauiK 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
sprajned ankle in the gome 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.

H
C^ EORGIA’S clean cut defeat of Ala-
VJ h.
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,
with Alabama’s inability to wrest a
game from the Athenians: but all that
is a part of baseball and must go in
the pummary. The fact tliat Ala
bama could turn around and put it
over Mercer in so clever a fashic.i
makes the performance of the Red
and Brack warriors all the more mer
itorious.
There can be no question but wh*t
at this stage of the game Georgia
lotfks 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 .i’l
thefr games on home grounds bur,
unless 1 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 ERGER 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 oretty good showing with
what they have left, all things con
sidered. It should be a hard fought
series between them and Auburn the
lust of this week, but I hardly think
their pitchers will be able to stop Au
burn’s heavy sluggers.

Tennessee in the return series of

dores are coming out of the depths.

OMF.R 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 In*
copped off two fre< 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 they appear above is not
intended to show their ranking. The
judges of the contest—Messrs. Cal
laway. Ryan and Nunpally, 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.
Bald President Frank Callaw ; ay af
ter announcing the awards, ”1 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. W<-
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 ’ot to de
ride 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 we were forced to de
clare out mauy that we considered
of great merit, though not quite up
to the class of the winners.”
iRCH flats Is the scene of some of
the most active baseball prac
tice that has ever been seen
around this part of the country. Coach
Heisman has go* on his fighting
clothes and is putting the team
through the kind of practice that put.^
pep in the slow’ and steadiness in the
flighty.
The absence of Holliday at the in
itial sack has put sort of a crimp U;
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 “get
them.” Amasont however, is fast

Tech’s weak spot but not so this

The cbntestants 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.

PREP LEAGUE NOTES
Joe Bean, of Marisl, says that if 1h<:
authorities are willing the annual prep
meet scheduled to take place at Tech
Flats or May 9 can be held on the field
at Mar 1st. 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 tit 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 to these from now on.
Allen and Lewis are two stars at
Marist in the 100-yard dash, and in
practice they look like they could give
anv of the boys at Tech High or
Boys High an awful chase. Both Allen
and Lewis have records of less than 11
seconds for the century run.
Riverside mode it twelve straight vic
tories for the season when they heat
Dahlonega Monday at Gainesvllb 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.
Ross Humes, who was pitching for
the Boys High team last year, is play
ing w'it.h Riverside. Haines is making
good, too. and it is largely through his
splendid twirling that the Gainesville
lads have been able to win so many
games this season. The team has not
yet been defeated.
Rome High School galloped away w ith
everything at the Seventh I fistrict high
school meet at Cartersville 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 seru
to Athens for the State meet Ju*y •*.
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
Lockridge is being looked upon as the
Hf
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.
Bill Bedell, of Tech High, appears to
he the best all around athlete among
the prep schools of this section. It is
seldom that a man can win In the
sprint** and weight events both, as these
two d-o 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 the Tech High team. Be

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 yesterday,
4 to 3.
The Southerners took the jump in
tho second frame, when Henderson.
Hitchcock and Clements bingled for
three runs, but after that the boys
from Ty Cobb's Commonwealth wen
unable to connect in bunches.
Hitchcock loosened up in the sec
ond period, allowing a < ouple 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. Henderson, for Georgia, and
Potts, for the Ohio Methodists, were
most effective with the stick.
