Crackers After Flag This Season
Directors Will Spare No Expense

Williams to Play Short To-Day
THE BASEBALL FAN A T HOME AND ABROAD
By Percy H. Whiting.
ttW/ITRE oui In front. We’re
‘W r
going to stay there if
money will do It." So say?
Charles N'unnally. director of the
baseball association. "We have
bought a short sto-\ If he does not
till the blit we will buy another. Our
pitchers are uncertain. If we And
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
bail players will turn the trick.
* * *
THE local association is tickled
pink with the showing thus far
—both on the diamond and in rlie
box office. The team has been win
ning ball games and the fans have
been turning - out as never before.
If the local team had had good wea
ther for opening day and Memorial
Day it would have shown attendance
records that would have been strict
ly big league.
* *► *
THE baseball association recog
nized the need for a new sh >rt
stop just as quickly as the fans did -
and they have a new one ready for
a try-out to-day. If he does n>t
work, well, still another will be
bought.
If the neu 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, lias turn
ed up as chipper as a cricket and
is playing good ball. Both Dunn and
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 or.
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 a
sprained ankle with a lack of st i-
mi.na.
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.
# * *
DILL SMITH has a worry coming
to him. He must decide right quick
whether his pitchers are just tem
porarily incapacitated or whethet
they are ail through. It is incredibly
that the whole bunch suddenly went
wrong at once—to stay wrong all the
season. Evidentlv Smith believes
that the thing will not last. Ho has
picked Becker as one man not liko'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 is
the one who was counted on to be
the star pitcher of the Cracke*
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 warms
up.
Bausewein is .he man whose fa*e
must be decided first. Owing to uis
sprained ankle he has had the least
chance to show Manager Smith his
wares. And because he was almost
an unknown when he reported here
he is the very one who should have
! had the 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 Gv
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.
* w *
F ' ILL that gap at short, as Williams
is likely to fill it, and give the
pitching staff just a shade more
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 w in.
The chief point it all is that
everybody is set for a pennant. And
especially io the local association de
termined to land one and it is will
ing to shoot the whole contents of
its pooketbook in the direction of
the big league club which offers a
winner—and durn the price!

FIGHT PROMOTER
Boxer-Manager Announces Three
Championship Matches at Cal
gary During Coming Summer.
By \Y. W. Naught oil.
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, Calgary will become the hub
of the boxing universe.
Nor does Tommy intend to emu
late the timid, tentative wights wno,
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. He has announced
that he intends pulling off three
world championships in different
classes this summer, and any one
cognizant of the trials and tribula
tions that attach to conducting pugi-
li«tic enterprises knows there i*»
nothing small about that.
The weight divisions in which Tom
my aims to develop blue ribbon meri
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 hat
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 !iK of appli
cants for marriage licenses.
In the heavyweight department
Tommy is pinning great faith to Ar
thur Pelkey, who lie thinks with in
telligent treatment can he fashioned
into a’ world’s champion. Burns boxeii
Pelkey recently and found much in
him to admire.
Right here is where Burns has the
bulge on the average promoter. If
he has doubts a 1 * to a white hope's
ability he can fight the gentleman
and find out all about it

TN a recent issue of The Sidney Ref-
* eree there appeared the startling
caption: "Sant 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 Uaucasian race.
it seems that during the voyag<
of the steamer Wyreema from Sydne*
to Brisbane a stowaway was discov
ered. Having no money, the unfor
tunate man was doomed to confine
ment until an opportunity should ot -
cur for handing him over to tin- siton
authorities, when Langford tame to
the rescue.
Sam paid t he price of a second -
class passage for the man a mat
ter of $8 or $9. and immediate y put
himself in .‘■•olid with those on hoard.
A fellow passenger wrote The Rer-
eree about it. He said Sam's act of
charity was performed so quickly ami
unostentatiously — without “putting
it to music.” as the Australians .-ay
that the Wyreema traveler- with
one accord proclaimed Langford n
“human man."

prickly

K\V YORK. April l!^. Investigations having spread over the country like the
heat or eczema within the-last few years, there is now some talk of the U
looking into tin* so called baseball trust that prevents a player from signing with an
)ther club if lie is dissatisfied with the conditions of the team to which he belongs. Tills
whole question hinges on the reserve clause, an instrument that has been termed unjust by
many baseball authorities.
So far as 1 can see, such an investigation would not benefit the players, because it would
which has stirred up all the talk, I
am not familiar enough with the de-
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
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 gone, the player is bound to lose
YX/HKTHER or not the reserve
clause is unjust depends upon
out. if a man could force his club t strikes me that a solution
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 tint
es. All the largest cities where
baseball was in the most prosperous
state would possess the stare of the
game, and the little towns would be
wiped out as pennant contenders.
It
of the
question would be to have a board of
arbitration appointed on which were
both players and < lub 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 board, and
both sides would be forced to agree
to the verdict.

(A FTEN followers of baseball have
* asked me if a pitcher does not
feel discouraged when he is knocked
out of ihe box in a game.
"I 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 him? 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 hang
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.
I RECALL a game I started in Pltts-
* burg last season. The Pirates
h. 1 a habit at that time «»f 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,
I 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 hack and singled. Be
cause they were placing a rushing
game. I figured he would try to steal,
so 1 attempted to waste one on the
next batter. Bang' There was an
other base hit. With two on. I was
looking for a hunt and threw the ball
at the next batter's head, because a
high on** 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
clpb 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 1 couldn't pitch
any more. It was not my day. and
that was all. This is tin* way most
veterans regard being knocked out
of the box. Only the youngsters lose
their confidence.

NB of the commonest sights of
early spring just now on the
downtown streets is the man
with hU* golf bag. Time was when
the golfer felt uncomfortable at the
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. There
was something in the necessary cos
tume, the peculiar shape of the clubs
find 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 railway stations,
while the owner slipped in a little
later unincumbered by mirth-inspir
ing luggage. All of that is now
changed. The semingly uncouth no
menclature has been transferred into
houshold words and the corners of al
most every office hoid a bag of clubs*.
Now the golfer himself sallies forth
laden with the heaviest of bags, and
he b> 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 golf—
even the well-worn golf bag used
by the street vender of canes to hold
hie wares.

"One of the most unwise things
any manager can do is t«> make
a prediction of a pennant winner or
where his own club will finish in the
league race until e has care
fully compared all the teams in
that league with his own club.” said
Manager Molesworth, of the Barons,
in discussing the practice so freely
indulged in this and other 1 ‘agues
of forecasting the result at the fin
ish. *
"You see w'hat I got into over !n
Atlanta and it all came of ray effort
to kid a young reporter. 1 was
going through tlie gate at Ponce IV
Leon Park, when this boy grabbed
me and asked me what I thought of •
Billy Smith's team. I was in e hurry
and I thought the quickest t av to
get rid of him was to tell him that
Atlanta had the best club l had ever
seen in this league and ought to
walk off with the pennant.
Admit They Can Hit.
"I will say that Atlanta has the
hardest hitting bunch that we have
faced yet but in speed and brains,
which g>> a mighty long ways toward
winning baseball games and thereby
pennants, there arc several clubs that
arc equal to Atlanta and a few who
are far ahead of them. Take Bir
mingham for instance. It's true we
have not been hitting anyway: near
like Atlanta but I do not believe that
there is a club in this league who
has it on us in gray matter.
"None of my pitchers are right, hut
when they do get into condition, you
can look out for us. Boyd, who last
year was one of the most dependable
men 1 had. hasn't thrown a ball this
season but when lie rounds to I ex
pert him to prove the leading pitcher
of this league.
Foxen Is Getting Right.
"Foxen is just now getting into
shape, while Hatdgrove is troubled
with a sore arm.
"What I need more than any tiling
else right now is one more good hard
hitter and 1 hope to be able to land
a man I am after in a few days*
When I get more hitting strength on
Ihe club I will be able to give any
body a fight.”

Happy.”
Mr. J. M. Backus, aged 55 years,
who lives at 1*> Cooper Street, cer
tainly owes his happiness to Quaker
Herb Extract. During many years of
Coursey & Munn's experience they
have seen many remarkable oases
where results were shown In an aston
ishingly short time, but this ease of
Mr. Backus has no equal For more
than six years the man suffered from
a severe case of indigestion. .When the
results of the wonderful Quaker Ex
tract become known hv the people who
care to investigate the ease here re-
It would be a very difficult thing t*
thoroughly and minutely describe all
the distresses that were endured by
Mr. Backus. He often had such pains
in lii» stomach tha# he would be in an
agony from which it was hard to re
cover. His stomach would bloat fear
fully. He was at times so nauseated
at the sight of foods that lie could not
eat. He kept getting weaker and
weaker. He was in a miserable condi
tion. Money was spent by Mr. Backus
in his trials for relief, and many dif
ferent remedies were used, but all he
got in the way of results was a little
temporary relief. Of this he finally
tired, and made up his mind to make
one more effort in his endeavors to
find a cure. He called at the Coursey
K- Minin drug store, and. after explain
ing his case, decided to purchase a
treatment, which was four bottles, as
It had done so much good work in this
city. He began using the Quaker Ex
tract according to directions, and
| soon began to find relief from the very
j start, but it was so different from the
i average medicine's relief, most of
: which was a mere exhilaration, that
tie knew lie was on the right track
at las; He continued faithfully and
he f ailed again at the drug store and
said: "Well, I feel as though I should
tell you that your remedy has cured
me. After suffering so many years I
can hardly believe It true that I have
no more of the former distresses, but
it must be so. I can eat a heavy meal
with n relish and perfect digestion.
1 feel like a new man, and can appre-
< late the real work that has been
done In my case. You can bet I will
always tell what Quaker Extract has
done for me Thank God that He has
sent such wonderful remedy as Quaker
Extract into this city."
