tt^'P’rE'RE out In front. W*'rr>
W going to stay there if
money will do it.” So says
Charles Nunnally, director of the
baseball association. "We have
bought a short stow If he does not
fil r the bill \ve will uy 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.
* * *
T'HE local association is tickled
pink with the showing- thus far
both on the diamond and in the
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.
* * V
THE baseball association recog-
A nized the need for a new shirt
stop just as quickly as the fans did —
and they have a new one readv 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 and
Graham are hitting above their stride
and their throwing to second his
been most amazing.
* « *
DUT those pitchers! Just when
H 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.
* * *
DILL SMITH has a worry coming
to him. He must decide right quick
whether his pitchers are just tem
porarily incapacitated or whethei
they are all through. It is incredible
that the whole bunch suddenly went
wrong at once—to stay wrong all the
season. Kvidentlv Smith believe*
that the thing will not last. He has
picked Becker as one man not likc!v
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 Uracke 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 warnia
up.
Bausewein is the man whose fa*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 almost
an unknown when he reported here
he is the very one who should have
had the most opportunities to rfhow
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 f h”
local association that their receipts
for a day or two while the club s
winning, will buy the best pitc .er
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 mire
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 pitchei'3
hurl even moderately good ball the
Crackers will win.
The chief point of it all is that
everybody 1s 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!

SEWANEE BASEBALL NINE

By W. W. Naughton.
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 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. Hp 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
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 lighting
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 be fashioned
into a world’s champion. Burns boxed
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« to a white hope's
ability he can fight the gentleman
and find out all about it.

TN a recent issue of The Sidney Rcf-
*■ eree there appeared the startling
caption: "Sam Langford a Human
Man."
The story beneath is a short one
»nd ii 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 sceme that during the voyage
of lie 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 oc
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 38 or $9. and immediately put
himself in wild with those on board.
A fellow passenger wrote The Rer-
eree about it. He said Sam’s act of
charity was performed so quickly and
unostentatiously — without "putting
it to music." as the Australians say
-that the Wyreema travelers with
one accord proclaimed Langford a
‘human man.’’

lause is to keep a man from jump

e the interest and gate receipts ar
e gone, the player is bound to lose
out. If a man could force his club t strikes me that a solution of the
HETHER or not the reserve
clause is unjust depends upon
the use to which the owner puts it.
Many magnates try to crowd a man
out of the business if be 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
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.

arbitration appointed on which were
both players and club ownors in equal

QFTEN 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
had day at business when nothing
breaks right for him? Don't most
actresses have had days when they
are out of voice? It is the same
way with a hall 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
harms so many young pitchers, but
it does hot bother veterans

I RECALL a game 1 started in Pitts-
* burg last season The Pirates
had 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.
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 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 hatter. 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
club went to the bench. "They're hit-
ting|\vihJ pitches to-day."
“\">u're putting them over too
good,” answered McGraw.
I didn't go back to the clubhouse
that night feeling I couldn't pitch
any more. It was not m> day. and
that was all. This is the way most
veterans regard being knocked out
<>f the box. Only the youngsters lose
their confidence.

Carry Bags of Queer Shaped
Clubs Through Streets.
Or
By “Chick” Loans.
NK of the commonest sights of
arly spring just now on the
lowntown streets is the man
w-ith hie golf bag. Time was when
the golfer felt uncomfortable at the
very thought of being seen carry
ing his clubs through thd 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 chape 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 that, 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 clubs.
Now the golfer himself sallies forth
laden with the heaviest of bags, and
he iy 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 ar
crowded with the paraphernalia
golf, for every man and his cousin
goes golfing these days. There is
everything to remind tis of golf—
even the well-worn golf bag used
by the street vender of canes to hold
hiy wares.
ASHVILLE, TENN., April 28.—
"One of the most unwise things
nnv manager can do is to make
a prediction of n 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 leagues
of forecasting the result at the fin
ish.
"You see what I got into over in
Atlanta and it all came of my effort
to kid a young reporter. I was
going through the gate at Ponce De
Leon 'Park, when this hoy grabbed
me and asked me what I thought of
Billy Smith’s team. I was in a hurry
and I thought the quickest way to
get rid of him was to tell him that
Atlanta had the best club I had ever
seen in this league and ought to
walk off with the pennant.
Admit They Can Hit.
"I will say that Atlanta haj* the
hardest hitting bunch that we have
faced yet but in speed and brains,
which go a mighty long ways toward
winning baseball games and thereby
pennants, there are several clubs that
art equal to Atlanta and a few who
arc far ahead of them. Take Bir
mingham for instance. It's tru< vvf
have not been hitting anyways neai
like Atlanta but I do not believe that
there is a club in this league who
has 1t 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 on** of the most dependable
men 1 had, hasn’t thrown a ball this
season but when he rounds to 1 ex
pect him to prove the leading pitcher
of this league.
Foxen Is Getting Right.
"Koxen is just no w getting into
shape, while Hat dgrove Ls troubled
with a sore arm.
"What I need more than anything
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 1 get more hitting strength <>n
