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.

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. w I Baseball Contest Winners Named © © © © © 0 <D Homer George Gets First Prize ESTABL^HED 23 YEARS DR.E.G.

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

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 this game * * * Lnckridge being looked upon a# the chief point winner For Boys High in (h*’ big prep meet May 9. He is a craelr -printer, and won three firsts in tlw meet Iasi Friday between Tech and Bovs High schools. 0 0 0 Bill Bedell, of Tech High, appears to be the best all around athlare among the prep schools of this section. It is seldom that a man can win in the sprints and weight events both, as these two do not usually go together. Bedell wnr the hammer throw and the ffiO- 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 any other players Fn 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 its trying to make arrange ments with Marist to play off their tie game on Friday of this week at Tech Flats Boys High has won three games an<4 lost none. If Ifiedmoni Park Is opened early enough this y«ar„ Boys High will have a polo team. Many of. the athletes jare expert swinirfrerg, and a godd’ team could be organized If all arrangements can be made satisfactorily, some aquatic meets will he scheduled With some of the prep schools chat have teams. * * * Candler arid .Jones are the favorites in Hie Boys High tennis tvurnament which will take place at East Lake this week. The tournament will com mence Thursday and end on Saturday. 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.
