^^t^tE'RE out in front. We’ro
Y^/ going to stay there if
money will do it.” So says
Charles Xunnally, director of the
baseball association. “We have
bought a short ston. If he does not
iill 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-
nized the need for a new shjrt
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 and
Graham are hitting above their stride
and their throwing to second has
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 mua
cular blow-out. “Diamond Jim”
Brady, generally as reliable as OH
Faithful, gets a kink in his whip.
Paul Musser springs a streak of hul
ling hysteria. Buck Becker loses
verything in the way of curves. And
old George Baueewein 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. Evidentlv Smith believe*
that the thing will not last. He 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 Lhe man whose fate
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 their
excess hurlers overboard In
shoals these days. Men w r ho can wi^
in the Southern are on the mar
ket every day.
It has been demonstrated to t.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.
* * *
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 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 (Turn the price!

came from Kansas City last night
that .Johnny Klins, the baseball
catcher, had signed a contract to
catch for the Cincinnati team dur

that there is a provision in the signed
contract which gives Tiling ills un-

As yet the contract lias not reach

mapped out a strenuous schedule this
season.
The team is just back from a
week’s road trip through the West

action again.
The Vanderbilt Commodores come
for games to-morrow and Wednesday.
These games will have a direct
bearing on the Southern college title.
Vanderbilt has been mopping up in
her section just as Georgia has down

will do much toward deciding who
will fly the college hunting.
Friday and Saturday the Universi

TECH AND WAKE FOREST
MEET ON DIAMOND TO-DAY
By W. W. Naught on.
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. 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
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, t,he 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 lis't 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.

TN a recent issue of The Sidney Ref-
* eree there appeared the startling
caption: “Sam Langford a Human
Man.”
The story beneath is a short on<
and it does not take the reader Ion;-’
to disabuse his mind of any suspicion
that Langford is claiming to be a
member of the Caucasian race.
It seenm that during the voyage
of the steam* r 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 Kim 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 $9. find immediately pu'
himself in stolid with those on board.
A fellow passenger wrote The Rer
erep about it. He said Sum’s act of
charity was performed so quickly and
unostentatiously — without “putting
It to music,” as the Australians cav
—that the Wyreema travelers with
one accord proclaimed Langford a
“human man.’’
EW YORK, April 28.—Investigations having spread over the country like the prickly
heat or eczema within tlie 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 been termed unjust by
many baseball authorities.
So far as 1 can sec, such an investigation would not benefit the players, because it would
tend to destroy the interest in baseball. The purpose of the reserve clause is to keep a man
from jumping from one team to another that offers him more money, which jumping would
destroy the present enthusiasm over baseball. r***r mil gate receipts are gone,
the player is bound to lose out. If a man could force ids club to release him to the team
willing to pay the salary he demanded, the ga me would revert to the situation which pre-
tion is a star, as he usually" is. It be taken out of the reserve clause
strikes me that a solution of the by establishing some neutral body
vailed in the old war times. All the
largest cities where baseball was in
the most prosperous state would pos
sess the stars of the game, and the
little towns would be wiped out as
pennant contenders.
* * *
\VWHETHER 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 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-
question would be to have a board of
arbitration appointed on which w r ere
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 board, and
both sides would be forced to agree
to the verdict.
As for the case of Cobb, the one
which has stirred up all the talk, I
am not familiar enough with the de
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

The New York State League, the
Central Association, the Tri-Stat<

The Georgia-Alabama League will

and the Empire State May 12.
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 Now'

pugilistic line.

is simply aching for a tight. Jimmy
does not . care whether it be Johnny
Coulon or Kid Young, but wants to
swing the padded 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 some interesting
newspaper clippings regarding his pro
tege. Ferns battled Tommy Howell at
Kansas City the other night in a bout
billed for the welterweight champion
ship 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,’’ wails little
Meyer Pries, when asked about his re
cent bout with Spider Britt. Pries still
thinks he was entitled to a draw' in
their last scrap, and Is willing to settle
the question of supremacy at once.
Promoter Tortorich is after a Joe

GOLF LUGGAGE IS
N ASHVILLE, TENN., April 28.—
“One of tne most unwise things
any manager can do is to 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 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 boy grabbed
me and asked me what I thought of
Billy Smith’s team. I was in a Ifurry
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 has 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
are equal to Atlanta and a few’ who
are far ahead of them. Take Bir
mingham for instunce. It’s true we
have not been hitting anyways near
like Atlanta but 1 do not believe that
there is a club in this league who
has it on us in gray matter.
“None of my pitchers are rjght, but
when the> do get Into condition, you
can look out for us. Boyd, who last
year was one of the most dependable
men I had, hasn’t thrown a ball this
season but when he rounds to I ex
pect him to prove the leading pitchor
of this league.
Foxen Is Getting Right,
“Foxen is just now’ getting into
shape, while Hardgrove is 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 I am after in a few days.
When I get more hitting strength on
the club l will be able to give any
body a fight.” 1

O FTEN 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 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 bang
out a three-bagger.” It is this fear
of going back into the box which
harms so many young pitchers, but
it does not bother veterans.
• • *
T RECALL a game I started in Pittfl-
1 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
inind. 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 J 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
rims before the inning was over.
“Better let some one else finish the
game,’’ said 1 to McGraw when the
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 back 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
their confidence.

NE of the commonest sights of
early spring Just now on the
downtown streets Is the man
with hie 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 ehape 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 liftle
later unincumbered by rnirfh-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 hinipelf sallies forth
laden with the heaviest of bags, and
he 1$> 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 of
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.

INDIGESTION CURED EVERY DAY
How Many People You Hear
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. J. M. Backus, aged i>5 years,
who lives at 16 Cooper Street, cer
tainly owes his happiness to Quaker
Herb Extract. During many years of
Ooursey & Munn’s experience they
have seen many remarkable rases
where results were shown in an aston
ishingly short time, but this case 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 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.
It would be a very difficult thing to
tiioroughly 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

at the sight of foods that he could not
eat. He kept getting weaker and
weaker. He was In a miserable condi
tion Money was spent by ,\lr. BatJcus
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
& Munn 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
start, but It was so different from the
average medicine’s relief, most of
which was a mere exhilaration, that
he knew he was on the rfght track
at last. He continued faithfully and
he called again at the drug store and
said: “Well, l 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 marc of the former distresses, but
it must he so. I can eat a heavy meal
with a relish and perfect digestion.
I feel like a new man, and cap appre
ciate 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.”
