Williams to Play Short To-Day
By Percy H. Whiting.
4 4^¥7tK’RE out In front. We’ro
YY to stay there if
lAoney will do it.” So says
Charles Nunnally, director of the
baseball association. “We have*
bought a short stow if he does not
fill 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
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.
* » »
THE baseball association recog-
1 nized the need for a new sh irt
stop just as quickly as the fans did —
and they have a new one ready for
a try-out to-day. Jf 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 i«
that the catching department, that
looked as though it were going (o 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.
* * *
B UT 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 wav of curves. And
old George Bausewcin combines a
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 whethet
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 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 is
the one Hvho was counted on to he
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 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 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 thei~
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 is
winning, will buy the best pitcher
turned loose this season. They will
buy if Smith nods his head.
* m *
F ILL that gap at short, a3 Williams
is likely to fill it, and give the
pitching staff just a shade m ore
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!
FODDER FOR FANS
The Washington players consider
President Wilson a jinx, and say they
can t have any luck while he is at a

ousy.

The baseball world is still gasping at
the feat of Christy Mathewson in pitch
ing a full ball game In which he threw
the ball but sixty-seven times. He aver
aged a shade less than seven and a half

as though he had struck out every bat
ter.

Frank Chance's vindication does not

The American League managers are
getting wise to Walter Johnson, and
when he pitches against them they use

for some occasion when they have
■\ chance.

FIGHT PROMOTER
Boxer-Manager Announces Three
Championship Matches at Cal
gary During Coming Summer.
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. Hr 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 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 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 as to a white hope's
ability he can fight the gentleman
and find out all about It.

IN' a recent Issue of The Sidney Ref-
1 c-ree 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 seem." 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 oc
cur for handing him over to the shore
authorities, when Langford came to
the rescue 1 .
Sam paid the price of a second-
class passage for the man—a mat
ter of $8 or $0. and immediately put
hirnself in "olid with those on board.
A fellow passenger wrote The Rer-
eree about it. He said Sam’s act of
charity was performed so qunkly and
unostentatiously — without 'putting
it to music." as the Australians stay
that the Wyreema travelers with
one accord proclaimed Langford a
“human man."

CHRISTY MATHEWS
BIG LEAGUt GOSSIP
N EW YORK. April 2k, Investigations having spread over the country like the prickly
heat or eczema within the last few years, there Is now some talk of the legislators
looking into the so-called birtteball trust that prevents a player from signing with an
other clnb if lie is dissatisfied with the conditions of the team to which he belongs. This
whole question hinges on the reserve clause, an instrument that lias been termed unjust by
many baseball authorities.
So l’ar as I can see, such an investigation would nol benefit the players, because it would
which has stirred up all the talk. I
am not familiar enough with the de-
GOLF LUGGAGE IS
tend to destroy the interest in has
eball. The purpose of the reserve c
laiise 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
out. If a 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 wa 1 r tlm
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.
\yilETHER 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
'strikes me that a solution of the
question would be to have a board of
arbitration appointed on which were
both players and dub 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
Jim Flynn apparently doesn’t mind a
little thing like a. bearing 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

stand for a lot of coarse work in the
pugilistic line.

out of the box in a gome.
"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 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 hack into the box which
harms so many young pitchers, but
it does not bother veterans.

I RECALL a game I started in FMttS-

had a habit at that nine uf hitting,
the first ball, and Midraw 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 tiled to waste a hall 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 1 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 1 to McGraw w hen the I
club went to the bench. "They’re hit

“You’re putting them over too I

I didn’t go hack to the clubhouse !

any more. It \\as not my day. and
that was all. This is the way most
veterans regard being knocked out
of the box. Only the youngsters lose
their confidence.

Players No Longer Ashamed to
Carry Bags of Queer Shaped
Clubs Through Streets.
By “Chick” Kuans.
O NE of the commonest sights of
early spring just now on the
downtown streets is the mnn
with his* 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 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 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 clubs.
Now the golfer himself sallies forth
laden with the heaviest of bags, and
he Is proud, conscious of the fact that
he is an object of envy, not ridicule.

one of the most unwise things
ny manager can do is to make
a prediction of a pennant winner or
where his ow n club will finish In the
league race until e nas care
fully ■ ompared all tic teams in
that league with his own club." said
.Manager Molesworth, of cue 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 Do
Leon Park, when this hoy grabbed
no- ami 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 ha* 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
arc equal to Atlanta and a few who
are far ahead of them. Take Bir
mingham for instance. It’s true wr
have not been hitting anyways neat
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, but
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 he rounds to i ex
pect him to prove the leading pitcher
of this league.
Foxen Is Getting Right.
"Foxen is just now getting into
shape, while Hardgrove Ls troubled
with a sore arm.
“What I need more than anything
else right now is one more good hard
hitter and I hope to be able to land
a man 1 am after in a few' days.
When 1 get more hitting strength on
the club I will be able to give any-
bqtly a fight."

INDIGESTION CURED EVERY DAY
How Many People You Heai
Say, ‘ Oh, If I Did Not Have
Indigestion, I Would Feel
Good. If I Could Only Get
Something That Would
Cure Me I Would Be
Happy.”
Mr .) M Backus, aged f»T> years,
who lives at 18 Cooler Street, cer
tainly owes his happiness 10 Quaker
Herb Kxtract. During many years of
Course> & Munn's experience they
have seen many remarkable wises
where results were shown in an aston-
iihingL short time, but this < ase of
Mr Backus has no equal. For more
than six year* the mar; suffered from
a severe case of Indigestion. When the
results of the wonderful Quaker Kx
tract become known by the people who
care to investigate the case here re
ported. it will be seen that the suffer
ing public should be thankful that such
a grand remedy is within their reach.
ft wouldfhe a very difficult thing to
thoroughly and minutely describe all
the distresses that were endured by
Mr. Backus. He often had such pains
in his stomach that he would be in an
agony from which it was hard to re
cover. His stomach would bloat fear
fully ||»* was at times so nauseated
at the sight of foods that he could Mot
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, ami many dif
ferent remedies were used, but all lie
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

treatment, which was four bottles, as
it had done so much Rood work in this

he called again at the drug store and
said: “Well, l feel as though I should
tell you that your remedy has cured
