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, Jmd the
handy way they trimmed Birmingham
yesterday demonstrated, that they
lack a lot of being all in.
* * *
yFESTERDAY 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, hut 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.
* * *
pROFSABLY the best play of the day
*• 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 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.
GIBBONS BEATS BERGIN;
BRITTON TRIMS DOOHAN
NEW YORK, April 23.—Tom Gibbons,
middleweight of St. Paul, brother of
Mike, defeated Tom Bergin, of Lewis
ton, Maine, in a fast ten-round bout
here to-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 will be Jfi.OCW, it 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
M--e. 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 lemouweight tournament In Philadelphia the
other night earned the thanks of prize-ring scientists for getting ail
of the white hopes together and tettiiig us see just exactly how
lad 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 .less Willard who has any
thing worth while is Gunboat Smith, and he has nothing but u punch.
They ought to drag Willard out where we can look him over and then
abolish the lemonweight division for ail time.
It is possible that some day some years hence Luther McCarty may
be a pretty fair heavyweight and a young man named Moran dlso 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 of that gang again we will 1
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 of scientists
who attended the clinic, among them a well-known prttmntur of One of
the big eastern clubs. To him we remarked that while the habit of betting
on prize-fights did not help inculcate those principles of manliness-arid 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
appeared in the show within thirty minutes from the time tke first one
entered the ring. He looked upon us as if we had tried to steal iris watch.

T HE Washington Post prjnts the following editorial under tin- head
ing “The Case of Ty Cobb:” . ' ' ' * - .
Ty Cobb’s friends in Obagress who have au idea thai ball players
are held in peonage and ought to be set free, so that they may he 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. exuding system
of contracts between baseball clubs and players, .inevitably would cost
Ty Cobb deal. Neit season would see fus .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
lie tottering to its fall, and where then would Congress find surcease
from grinding toil at $7,500 per, or just half of Tv’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 jumpiug 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 a Vising 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 right) of appeal to the
national baseball commission, another supreme court from which rue 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 tiest interests
of the game is fully attested by its popularity with the great public and
the prosperity it lias 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.
* * *
# *qELLING 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 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 take a clip on the chin." said
Whitney the morning after the light. “1 dropped him with a shot left and
1 didn’ have much steam behind it, either. The first time he goes up against
a heavy puncher he will be oounted out if he doesn’t guard his chin.”
And Whitney's dope was the jumrny stuff. Thomas is the fastest Im
pounder in the game to-day. But he’ll never get anywhere with that
china chin. - • ■
■*•••' * * * *
T Y COBB, the celebrated holdout, is apparently about to "immolate him
self ou the attar of baseball freedom. The Georgia tornado has defil'd
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 lias novel-
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
iieaned with a thunderbolt, which was the somewhat 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 ease 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 could tie picked.

LARRY LAJ0IE DENIES
THAT HE’LL QUIT GAME
(’LBVELAND. April 23.—Larry La.
joie, grand old rrifkn of the American
Loagnje. denied tha report- that at
the close of the present season with
the Cleveland he would nult
the game for good.
"I’ll quit baseball wHc.i they «ut
my uniform from me, said Lajoie.
By -I. W. Heisman.
T 2CH 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 Aunurnites, to
have the 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 ttm
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.
AnxT yet. there was plenty of excuse
for both Witherington and Attridge,
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 ball. or. not. During the early
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
Witherington the day before. And
these two injured fingers had to cost
Tech two games by one run each and
the seriefc.
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
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 fifie 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 lias a better team than it
liq.s 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 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 .tump on I expect to see them
making it very rough going for every
team they meet.
* * *
C ' ESORGIA’S clean out defeat of Alii-
1 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, summary. The fact that Ala-
dama could turn around and put it
ovf*r Mercer in so clever a fashion
makes the performance of the Red
and Black warriors all the more mer
itorious.
There fan 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 aM
their games on home grounds but,
unless I mistake, nearly all of their
schedule tnat 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 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
♦ * *
\ VANDERBILT 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 ;i big league contract l
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
yet. ,

T
T
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 fret 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. Cal
laway, Ryan and Nunnally, directors
of the baseball association—grew gray
headed under the strain of awarding
s first. Then they lost a lot more
in cutting the contestants down to
the limit.
Said President Frank Callaway 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. 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. W’C 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 gr.eqt 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 tlie 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.
* * *
THE 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.
T ECH 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 got on his fighting
cloths and is putting tbe 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 fn
the balance of the team. Hoilidav
! was such a wonder at the first sack
I that the team had sort of a hunch
j'.hat Holliday would always “get
1 them.” Amascui, however, is fast
gaining the confidence of the other
j 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 good
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” hoi
weather to get him going.
The outfield is going along with a
good pace. With ("apt. Montague
holding down the left garden, his
brother Tyler in the center position
and Wootemin right the pitchers have
no fear of anything big getting by.
PREP LEAGUE NOTES
Joe Bean, of Marist, says that if the
authorities are willing the annual prep
meei scheduled to take place at Tech
Mats on May 9 can be held on the field
at Martet. • 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 Marfst
* * *
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 rwnv on.
* * *
Allen and Lewis are two stars at
Marist in the 100-yard dash, and in
practice they look like they could give
any 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 made It twelve straight vic
tories for the season when they beat
Da hi onega 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 scop? A single and a base
on balls, coupled with a safe bunt,
scored the winning run in the tenth.
• * •
Ross Haines, who was pitching for
the Boys High team last year. Is play
ing with KiversMe Haines is making
good, too. and it is largely through his
splendid twirling that the Gainesville
tails have been able to win so many
games this season The team has not
yet been defeated.
« . « .
Rome High School galloped away with
everything at the Seventh District high
school meet at Cartersvllle 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 sen,
io Athens for the State meet Juty t.
• * •
Thi* afternoon Marist and Peacock
will meet on the Marist diamond. Title
will be the first meeting of the t-wO
teams this year. Judging by the games
that both have played so far, Marist
should have little (rouble in winning

the prep schools of this section. It is
seldom that a man can win in the

two do not usually go together. Bedell
wnr the hammer throw and the ffiO-
yard dash in the meet last Friday.

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 yesterday,
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 the extent of vie
tory. Henderspn, for Georgia, and
Potts, for the Ohio Methodists, were
most effective with the stick.
