There is now no longer any doubt about it. The only one we have
s< 'hh find we have seen all of them except Jess Willard- who has any
thing worth while is Gunboat Smith, and he has nothing but a punch,

mil' painful duty to witness the antics of any of that gang again we will!
leel il in bo our stern civic duty to slip something into their lea the day

Coming back from Philadelphia we fell in witli 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 betting
on prize lights iliil not help inculcate those principles of manliness and fair

T H K Washington Post in ir
ing "The Case of Ty Cob
iuts the following editorial under tlie iiead-
lobb
I y Cobb's friends in Congress who have an idea thul ball players
an* held in peonage and ought to he 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 ael of Congress that would do away with the existing system
ot contracts between baseball clubs and players inevitably would cost
I y Cobb dear. Next season would see his princely salary revised
downward to a mere fraction of the $15,000 that looks so modest to
ihe 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 Ty’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 jumping contracts brought-things
io 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
eases were dismissed. It tlien became necessary to strengthen the sys
tem in a way that would insure a square deal ail around. Each league
established a tribunal to settle disputes, with the right of appeal to the
national baseball commission, another supreme court lrom 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 rilled acted for tile best interests
ol tlie game is fully attested by its popularity with (he great public and
l lie prosperity it has brought to magnates and players. As for Ty 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
coining to Washington to have Congress knock off his shackles.
"S'
KLLING surgical instruments ilial's a business. Box lighting that's
no business.”
I he above came to us over the wire from New Orleans Iasi night. The
message carried the .1. Hancock of one Joe Golden. Joseph is the manager
of Joe Thomas. Also said Golden sells surgical instruments. And it looks
;is though lie 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
Iasi, 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 lie is possessed of a glass jaw.
Frank Whitney knocked him down with a short left hook. Thomas de
feated Whitney that night, although tlie 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 tight. "I dropped him with a shot left and
I didn’ have much steam behind if. either. The first time he goes up against
a heavy puncher lie will lie counted out if he doesn’t guard his chin."
And Whitney's dope was the jammy stuff. Thomas is the fastest 1
pounder in the game to-day. But lie’ll never get anywhere with that
china chin.

T V GOBB, the celebrated holdout, is apparently about to immolate him
sell on the altar of baseball freedom. The Georgia tornado has defied
the Big Works of baseball to do his or their worst and lei the reserve clause
fall where it may.
Doping down the bin-k a!le.\s of history, this line of oouduct has never
netted the conductor anything but a quick and glorious death. There was
oue Ajax, a noted slugger a few seasons back, who handed out the same
lweaned 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 case the magnates are up against a nasty proposition even for
them to handle. Gobb is not a pauper. lie 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 ihe gate receipts of the Detroit club
on the road will undoubtedly fall off to a marked extent. If any athlete
lmd to iusnrge for his rights Gobb was the best man who could be picked.

Homer George Gets First Prize

By -J. W. Heisnian.
iCH 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 1
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 Auournites. 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 the
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.
And yet there was plenty of excuse
for both Witheringion and Attridge.
the catchers who performed. In the
seventh inning of Friday’s game
Witheringion 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
part 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 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 thev
scored J6 runs to Auburn’s 11. Both
Amason and Tyler Montague. Tech's
new men in the line-up, played su
perbly. each getting four hit® 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 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 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
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 1 expect to see them
making it very rough going for every
team they meet.
* * *
EORGIA’S clean cut defeat of Ala-
^ 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
bama could turn around and put it
over Mercer in so clever a fashic.i
makes the performance of the Refj
and Black warriors all the more mer
itorious.
There can 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 • M
their games on home grounds btr.
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.
* * *
IVAGRCER 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 1 hardly think
their pitchers will be able to stop Au
burn's heavy sluggers.
* • #
\7AXDERBILT 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 ’eague contract I
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.

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 free 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. Oal-
lawav, Ryan and Nunnaliy, 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
fpn would want to read about a game
such as ihe 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. 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 .fielder and is batting in the clean-up

around this part of the country. Coa
lleisman has got on his fighting
clothes and is putting the tee n
through the kind of practice that put-

The absence of Holliday at tlie in

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 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.

winner can attend the game this aft

of stairs and go to the sporting edi

tickets awaiting you.
PREP LEAGUE NOTES
Joe Bean, of Marist, says that if the
authorities are willing the annual prep
meet scheduled to take place at Tech
Flats or May 9 can be held on the field
at Marist. 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.
* w *
Bean thinks that his team will cop
ihe 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 iwo 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
Bovs High an awful chase. Both Allen
and l ewis have records of less than 11
seconds for the century run
* * *
Riverside made it twelve straight \ ic-
tories for the season when they Iv-at
I>ahionega Monday at Gainesville The
game wem ten innings, and Riverside
wen 3 to 2. Dahionega was ahead un
til Ihe eighth inning, when Riverside
tied tlie score. A single and a base
on balls, coupled with a safe hunt,
•cored the winning run in ihe lentil.
* * *
Ross Haines, who was pitching for
tlie Bovs High team last .'ear. is plat
ing with 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 term has not
yet been defeated.
* * •
Rome High School galloped away with
everything at the Seventh District high
school meet at Cartersviile 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.
to Athens for the State meet Jury i
• • *
This afternoon Marist and Peacock
will meet on the Marist diamond. This
will be the first meeting of the twd
teams this year. Judg<ng by the games
that both have played so far, Marist
should have little trouble in winning
this game.
* * *
T^ockridge is being looked upon as the
chief point winner for Bovs 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.
• • • v
Bill Bedell, .of Tech High, appears to
be the best all around athlete among
ihe prop 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
won 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 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 is trying to make arrange
ments with Marist to play off their tie
game on Friday of this week at Tech
Plats. Boys High has won 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 pren schools that have teams.
* * *
Candler and .lories are the favorites
in the Boys High tennis tournament
which will take place at East Lake
this week. The tournament will com
mence Thursday and end on Saturday.
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 n<u'
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” ho:
weather to get him going.
The outfield is going along with a
good pace. With Capt. Montagu;
holding dow r n 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 yesterday
4 to 3.
The Southerners took the jump in
the second frame, when Henderson
Hitchcock and Clements bingled fo'
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 couple of sin
gles, and again in the third round he
became generous, giving two walk?, a
hit by pitcher and a single.
The additional runs came in the
seventh frame, when Hyer and Need
ham. for Wesleyan, w’orked the hit-
and-run game to the extent of vic
tory. Henderson, for Georgia, ano
Potts, for the Ohio Methodists, were
most effective with the stick.
