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« fast as Schwartz set them up. MDTWJirr COLUMN • 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 one man.

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. 66 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.

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. THESE MEN WON FREE TICKETS Homer George, Atlanta Theater. T.

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.

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.

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.

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 dell and Parks have higher averages than an,' 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. Higt ments W'itn Marist to play off their tie game on Friday of this week at Tech Flats Boys High has woti three games and lost none. If Piedmont Park 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 an# Jones are the favorites ih the Boy* High tennis tournament which will lake place at East Lake this week. The tournamehl will com mence Thursday and end on Baturdoy.

OHIO WESLEYAN DEFEATS UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA DELAWARE, OHIO.

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.
