Williams to Play Short To-Day
By Percy H. Whiting.
${\ , |7'7E , RE out in front. We'ro
‘W
going to stay there tf
money will do It." So says
Charles N’unnally, director of the,
baseball association. “We have
bought a short ston. if he does not
till the bill we will buy another. Our
pitchers are uncertain. If we find
we need other pitchers we shall buy
them. This city deserves a pennant
winning ball club this year and we
are going to give it one if buying
ball players will turn the trick.
* * *
THE local association is tickled
1 pink with the showing thus far
—both on the diamond and in the
box office. The team has been win
ning bail games and the fans have
been turning out as never before.
If the local team bad had good wea
ther for opening day and Memorial
Day it would have shown attendance
records that would have been strict
ly big league.
* * if
THE baseball association recog-
* nized the need for a new short
stop just as quickly as the fans did--
and they have a new one ready for
a try-out to-day. If he does not
work, well, still another will be
bought.
If the new man. Williams, comes
through there is only one source of
worry—the slab department.
An odd thing about the team is
that the catching department, that
looked as though it were going to be
weak, has proved strong. Pat Gra
ham has converted us all and has
demonstrated class that makes him
look the best young catcher in the
league. And Joe Dunn, supposed to
be ready for the punk pile, has turn
ed up as chipper as a cricket and
is playing good ball. Both Dunn ami
Graham are hitting above their stride
and their throwing to second his
been most amazing.
• * *
DUT those pitchers! Just when
° everybody was willing to admit
that Bill Smith had a wonderful
staff, what happened? Why, the
whole boiiing developed sore arms —
or all at least except Gilbert Price
and we expect to get a report on
him this afternoon.
Old Buck Weaver, the Hurling
Hottentot, suddenly springs a mus
cular blow-out. "Diamond Jim"
Brady, generally as reliable as Old
Faithful. gets a kink In his whip.
Paul Musser springs a streak of hur
ling hysteria. Buck Becker loses
everything in the way of curves. And
old George Bausewein combines
sprained ankle with a lack of sta
mina.
Gilbert Price is the one man in the
lot who is effective. And of course
Gilbert, willing cuss that he is, can't
pitch every game.
* - * *
"DlLD SMITH has a worry coming
to him. He must decide right quick
whether his pitchers are just tem
porarily incapacitated or whether
they are all through. It is incredible
that the whole bunch suddenly went
wrong at once—to stay wrong all the
season. Evidently Smith believe*
that the thing will not last. He has
picked Becker as one man not like’y
to come around this season. And
Becker will go. Weaver has Smith
guessing. This man has pitched
three bad games in a row—and he
the one who was counted on to be
the star pitcher of the Cracke r
squad this season. It is reasonable
to suppose that Weaver will come
around all right. But it is high time
he was showing symptoms. Musser
will be all right after a bit and Brady
will improve as the weather warr
up.
Bausewein is the man whose fa f e
must be decided first. Owing to his
sprained ankle he has had the least
chance to show Manager Smith his
wares. And because he was almo.s;
an unknown when he reported her*-
he is the very one who should have
had tlie most opportunities to show
his stuff.
* . * *
T HE big leagues are pitching their
excess hurlers overboard In
shoals these days. Men who can win
in the Southern are on the mar
ket every day.
It has been demonstrated to Cn*
local association that their receipts
for a day or two while the club is
winning, will buy the best pitcher
turned loose this season. They will
buy if Smith nods his head.
* * *
F ILL that gap at short, as Williams
is likely to fill it, and give the
pitching staff just a shade m ire
strength and the pennant is a pipe.
Smith does not need his usual
hurling strength. He has such a
team of sluggers that if the pitchers
hurl even moderately good ball the
Crackers will win.
The chief point of it all is that
everybody is set for a pennant. And
especially is the local association de
termined to land one and it is will
ing to shoot the whole contents of
its pocketbook in the direction of
the big league club which offers a
winner—and dum the price!

The baseball world is still gasping at
the feat of Christy Mathewson in pitch

S AN FRANCISCO, April 28.—Fight
promoters beware. Tommy Burns
is about to enter the field as a
maker of matches, and if his plans
thrive, Ualgary will become the hub
of the boxing universe.
Nor does Tommy intend to emu
late the timid, tentative wights who,
in order to protect themselves, begin
any new line of business "in a small
way."
Tommy is ambitious and self-re
liant at the outset. Ho has announced
that he intends pulling off three
world champion ships in dtffefint
classes this summer, and any one
cognizant of the trials and tribula
tions that attach to conducting pugi
listic enterprises knows there is
nothing small about that
The weight divisions in which Tom
my aims to develop blue ribbon men
are the welter, middle and heavy
weights. According to the entries so
far. the various competitions will be
notable "free for all." Here and there
appears the name of a man who has
made a bit of a mark in the fighting
game, but taken by and large Tom
my's championship candidate roster
reads like a newspaper list of appli
cants for marriage licenses.
In the heavyweight department
Tommy is pinning great faith to Ar
thur Pelkey. who he thinks with in
telligent treatment can he fashioned
into a world’s champion. Burns boxed
Pelkey recently and found much in
him to admire.
Right here is w'here Burns has the
bulge on the average promoter. If
he has doubts ae to a white hope's
ability he can fight the gentleman
and find out all about It.

T N a recent issue of The Sidney Ref-
* eree there appeared the startling
caption: "Sam Langford a Human
Man.”
The story beneath is a short one
and It does not take the reader long
to disabuse his mind of any suspicion
that Langford is claiming to be a
member of the Caucasian race.
It seemf that during the voyage
of the steamer Wyreema from Sydney
to Brisbane a stowaway was discov
ered. Having no money, the unfor
tunate man was doomed to confine
ment until an opportunity should o< -
cur for handing him over to the short
authorities, when Langford came to
the rescue.
Sam paid the price of a second
class passage for the man a mat
ter of $8 or $P. and immediately put
himself in volid with those on board
A fellow passenger wrote The Rer-
ereo about it. He said Sam’s act of
charity was performed so quic kly and
unostentatiously — without "putting
it to music.” as the Australians say
— that the Wyreema travelers with
one accord proclaimed Langford a
"human man."

CHRISTY MATI1LWWS
. BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP
N EW YORK. April Investigations having spread over the country like the prieklj
heat or eczema within the last few years, there is now some talk of the legislators
looking into the so-called baseball trust that prevents a player from signing with an
other club if he is dissatisfied with the conditions of the team to which he belongs. This
whole question hinges on the reserve clause, an instrument that has tieen termed unjust by
many baseball authorities.
So far as I can see, such an investigation would not benefit the players, because it would
tend to destroy the interest in has
eball. The purpose of the reserve c
lause is to keep a man from jump
ing from one team to another that o
ffers him more money, .which jump
ing would tend to destroy the pres
ent. enthusiasm over baseball. One
e the interest and gate receipts ar
e gone, the player is bound to lose
man could force his club t
o release him to the team willing t
o pay the salary he demanded, the
game would revert to the situation
which prevailed in the old war tim
es. All the largest cities where
baseball was in the most prosperous
state would possess The star? of the
game, and the little towns would be
wiped out as pennant contenders.
WJ HETHER
* * clause is
! v
or not the reserve
unjust depends upon
the use to which the owner puts it.
Many magnates try to crowd a man
out of the business if he refuses to
sign with their club, but, when a
player becomes a stubborn holdout,
there is generally a tendency toward
arbitration, and the powerful men in
the league bring their influence to
bear, particularly if the man in ques
tion is a star, as he usually is. It
strikes me that a solution of the
question would tie to have a board of
arbitration appointed on which were
both players and club owners in equal
numbers. Whenever a player be
came dissatisfied with his salary or
other conditions on the team, his case
could be submitted to this hoard, and
both sides would be forced to agree
to the verdict.
As for the case of Cobb, the one
Jim Flynn apparently doesn't mind a
little thing like a beating at the hands
of Luther McCarty. He is now hot after
a ten round battle with Gunboat Smith,
and would like to pull it off in New
York. The metropolis certainly has to
stand for a lot of coarse work in the
pugilistic line.

am not familiar enough with the de
tails to express an opinion, hut it
strikes me that a man of Cobb’s
drawing ability is worth a lot of
money to his club. The sting could

by establishing some neutral body
to adjust all arguments.
AFTKN followers of baseball have
asked me if a pitcher does not
feel discouraged when he is knocked
out of the box in a game.
"1 shouldn't think you would ever
want to go back to the box again." a
fan said to me once.
Doesn't most every man have a
bad day at business when nothing
breaks right for nim? Don't most
actresses have bad days when they
are out of voice? It is the same
way with a ball player We all
have our off days. As George Ade
once said, "not even a humorist can
go to the bat every day and bang
out a three-bagger." It is this fear
of going back into the box which
barms so many young pitchers, but
it does not bother veterans.
* * *
T RECALL a game I started in Pitts-
* burg last season The Pirates
bad a habit at that time of hitting
the first ball, and McGraw warned
me to watch out for this before I
went into the box.
‘"Look out for that first one, Mat
ty," he said to me.
f went into the box with this in
mind. Byrne was the first man up
to the bat, and he crowds the plate.
1 tried to waste a ball on the inside,
and he stepped back and singled. Be
cause they were playing a rushing
game, I figured he would try to steal,
so I attempted to waste one on the
next batter. Bang! There was an
other base hit. With two on. I was
looking for a bunt and threw The ball
at the next batter's head, because a
high one is the most difficult to lay
down. He kissed it for another base
hit. and the Pittsburg team had three
runs before the inning was over.
"Better let some one else finish the
game." said I to McGraw when the 1
club went to the bench "They're, hit
ting wild pitches to-day."
"You're putting them over too
good." answered McGraw.
I didn't go hack to the clubhouse
that night feeling I couldn't pitch
any more. It was not my day. and
that was all. This is the way most
veterans regard being knocked out
of the box. Only the youngsters lose

NE of the commonest sights of
arly spring just now on the
owntown streets is the man
with hi?* golf bag. Time was when
the golfer felt uncomfortable at tic
very thought of being seen carry
ing his clubs through the crowded
Atlanta streets. During those days
of the first introduction of golf it
was an object of much ridicule and
a target for every would-be wit who
happened to be acquainted with the
game, and his name was legion. Then 1
was something In the necessary cos
tume, the peculiar .«*hape of the clubs
and their more peculiar names that
appealed strongly to the multitude's
sense of humor. In those days office
boys and caddies were hired to carry
the clubs to the railway stations,
while the owner slipped in a little
later unincumbered by mirth-inspir
ing luggage. All of tha is now
changed. The semingly uncouth no
menclature has been transferred Into
houshold words and the corners of al
most every office hold a bag of dubs.
Now the golfer himself sallies forth
laden with the heaviest of bags, and
be Ip proud, conscious of the fact that
he is an object of envy, not ridicule.
The check rooms of all the city
clubs, notably the Atlanta Athletic,
and all the railway stations are
crowded with the paraphernalia or
golf, for every man and. his cousin
goes golfing these days. There is
everything to remind us of golf
even the well-worn golf bag used
by the street vender of canes to hold
his wares.
