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! ill / /jOr'N !J ■xjohn !'.! wcAjynej'- Of-TM£C.UPi- \NHEN SO 1 ' A'RE FfNlSfiEC* GET BO.W ON WE KMJ.

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." FOUR BASEBALL LEAGUES OPEN SEASON WEDNESDAY The New York State League, the Central Association, the Tri-State league and the New England League will open their playing seasons on Wednesday. This will leave only a few scat tering league- which have not opened their seasons as yet. The Georgia-Alabama League will open its season May 5. tiie Southern Michigan and the Ohio State May 7. and the Empire State May 12. VSwpJiP ".zaxvrr LEAGUE GOSSIP GREF LUGGAGE IS N' prickly uislators 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 the interest and gate receipts ar 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. As for the case of Cobb, the one RINGSIDE NEWS 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. Bud Anderson, the San Franci.se*> lightweight, through his knock-out vic tory over “Knockout'' Brown, of .\pw York, has been matched to box Joe Mandot at Los Angeler. next month. Tommy Walsh ar.d Mandot have already left New Orleans for the coast. Jess Willard will make his first fight on the coast May 17. Jess has been matt lied to exchange blows with Gun boat Smith ai Frisco in a twenty-round bout on tha; < ate. The winner is to get on with Luther McCarty Tom McCarey is seriously thinking of staging a lightweight elimination tour ney. Tom says there are about six boys worth.'- of a chance at Ritchie's title, and tiiat the only way to give one of them the big match is to put them all together and let them fight it out ever the derby route Pal Moore and Jack Britton art barred from Philadelphia for six months. They are accused of putting up a fake scrap last Monday night. Charlie White writes from Chicago that he had little trouble beating Joe Thomas, and that lie is anxious to come to Atlanta and meet Freddie Welsh. Charlie lias not lost a fight in two years. He has beaten such boys as Young Shugrue. Owen .Moran, Pal Moore. Johnny Dundee and S'eve Ketchel. Bob Moha is a 10 to K choice over Jack Dillon for their ten-round battle at Milwaukee to-night. Moha re cently shaded Eddie MeGoorty, and is being picked by the Brewer Fiky boxing followers as the next middleweight champion. Jimmy Grant, the Chicago bantam weight. who is spending Ills ume here, is simply aching for a fight. Jimmy does not cart* whether ir be Johnny Coulon or Kid Yourg, but wants to swing the pa tided mitts very soon George Gealelis, the prominent Greek sportsman, is willing to back Jimmy for any amount. Jimmy Hurst, manager of “Wildcat'' Ferns, sends along sorrm interesting; newspaper clippings regarding his pro tege Ferns battled Tummy Howell at Kansas City the other night in a bout billed for the welterweight champion- ' *hip of the world. Although the referee called the scrap a draw, the newspaper reports give Ferns a wide shade. “Bring him along and I will sign up for the match at once.

Pries still thinks he was entitled to a draw in their last scrap, and is willing to settle the question of supremacy at once. Promo** r Torlorlch is after a Joe Mav.dot-Charlie White battle. White and Mandot have met a couple of times, with honors even, but Joe was at his best then ami will probably have a hard time holding the Chicago boy off now * * * Frank Klaus, who* beat Billy Papke in Paris, is taking several raps at the Kewanee boy for the harsh things Billy has been saying about him in this coun try.

SAVANNAH, GA Players No Longer Ashamed to Carry Bags of Queer Shaped Clubs Through Streets. O tails to express an opinion, but it strikes me that a man of Cobb’s drawing ability is worth a lot of money to his club. The sting could be taken out of the reserve clause by establishing some neutral body to adjust all arguments * * * (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. (Copyright. 1913. by ihe McClure News paper Syndicate, i tv “Chick” Evans. 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. XSHVILLB, TENN., April 28.— "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.” Heisman Suspends Four Tech Players Moore. Pound. Donaldson and Mon tague Draw Lay-off for Indiffer ent Work Against Alabamc. As a result of indifferent playing in the game Saturday against Alabama at Tuscaloosa, four members of tin* Tech baseball team are enjoying an indflnite lay-off by request of Coach Heisman. The quartet consists of "Scrappy” Moore, third baseman: Murphy Pound, outfielder; Jack Don aldson. shortstop, and Edgar Monta gue, second baseman. A numb r <#£ shifts were made necessary by this ruling, but Coach Heisman has the places pretty well filled. LOOKOUTS PURCHASE NEW OUTFIELDER; STARK SOLD CHATTANOOGA. TENN., April 28. Outfielder Thrasher, formerly with Cleveland in the Appalachian League, will join the Chattanooga club at Bir mingham to-day. He was at one time a member of the Memphis club.

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.
