Yesterday ne launched his sole re
maining winner, OH Price, at the 1
heads of the Volunteers—only to see
him beaten, 4 to 3. In the topsy-turvl-
eat ball game Atlanta has seen in
years.
To-day goodness only knows whom
he will work. He will probably line
up the whole bunch, warm them up
together and send In the man whe
has the most. The chances are it
will be Musser or Weaver.
A hunoh remains that Musser has
a lot of stuff left His last out he
waa given a forlorn hope and carried
It pretty well.

\X7HOKVER Bill Smith works knows
vv well that he must pitch to win.
For Bill drove home that lesson late
Jiu;t w^ak—and hammered It in with
some fat fines.
The rumor went out last week that
several of the Tracker pitchers were
hitting the high spots again. Evi
dently the news was not long in get
ting to baseball headquarters. The
result was that when some of the
t racker hutiers step up to the cap
tain’s office next payday to draw their
coin they will And a fat slice remov
ed.
“We’ve got some ball players
money in our pockets,” said Presi
dent Callaway yesterday. "We heard
about the Joy riding and we assessed
some fines. We are out to win this
year. We don’t Intend to let a mat
ter of thirst stand In the way.”
* * •
I T wouldn’t be reasonable to expect
the Vols to admit they were lucky
to win yesterday but look over this
array of facts:
1. Price allowed 3 hits, Dahlgrtn 9.
2. Price walked 6 men, Dahlgren
11.
3. One Vol error figured in the
scoring, 2 Cracker miscuesi
Yet the Crackers lost, 4 to 3.
* * •
'T'HAT Dahlgren escaped alive is due
A partly to good luck, partly to
heroic pitching iu the pinches.
Consider, pleas:?, that the recruit
from Redland. walked seven men in
the first three nnings and yet was
not scored on—and tfiis in the face
of the fact that he was ‘pitching to
the team that* ieads the league in
slugging.
Inning after Inning the Crackers
filled the bases and inning after in
ning the old pinch h t wouldn’t be
delivered, thanks to the amazing
curves and cunning of this skinny
kid. who rose to ! eights of reai pitch
ing eminence when the need arose.
You can write the Crackers’ epi
taph in either one of two ways and
it will tell the tale.
They didn’t hit in the pinches
or
Loft on bases: 16.
♦ * •
A LOT of odd happenings punct
uated this ireaky game. For
instance that pe3ky performer, Dave
Callahan.—unable to hit—got on bases
safely twice on errors and both times
scored
Then Johnny Lindsay pinched a
hit in th* fourth that scored two men
—and Johnny is a notoriously feeble
batter. Yet for Atlanta Smith. Ag
ler, Dunn. Long, Graham, Alperman
and Price all came up with chances to
drive in two men if they hit—and
only Price delivered a hit that scored
a run. , ,,
Note also that Gilbert Price held
the Vols to 3 hits for four bases—
and that he made three hits himself,
for four bases. And yet he lost.
Here are some other freaks:
More than half the hits off Dahl-
eren were infield scratches.
No Vol who made a hit scored a
run.
Though 30 men were on bases not
one stole a base.
Lindsay played the best ball—and
the worst—for the Vols.
* * •
T HE game was a thriller toward
the finish—a regular rip snorter
that got the crowd on its frozen
heels and kept it there, yelling and
jumping until Agier's fly-out ended
The Crackers started the fifth in
ning with the score 4 to 0 against
them In the sixth Williams’ single
and Price’s two-bagger cut down the
lead one run. In the seventh Long's
infield hit. Smith's single and an in
field out put another man over. in
the eighth after Agler walked Aiper-
man hit into a double play. Wel-
chonre then singled but Graham
couldn't deliver.
In the ninth the (’rackets put on
full steam ahead and Long opened
with a single. Smith grounded to
Johnnv Lindsay and Jawn let the ball
go i-kit'ering between his legs. Wil
liams. the new shortstop, iiad a swell
chance but he fanned. Habigren
weakened and walked Joe Dunn
Price had a chance to win his own
ball game but he was all through
and on his infield out Dunn went
out and Long scored. This put It
clear up to Agler but Joseph fell (
victim to the extent of a fly into Judd
Daley’s hands and thus ended one
thrilling ball game.

Welsh Laces Ketchel
In 10-Round Scrap
Englishman Fights in Great Form
and Easily Trims Opponent
in Bridgeport Bout.
BRIDGEPORT, CONN., April 29.—
Freddie Welsh, the English light
weight champ, was too fast and too
clever for A1 Ketchel, of this city, in
a ten-round bout here last night.
W r elsh looked even better than when
he was here before, and danced in
and out, flashing short-arm blows at
will into the bewildered Ketchel.
Ketchel was game and willing at all
times, but he could not get next to
the style of the Welshman.
Welsh appears to be able to hit
harder than when he last fought in
this country, and Ketchel was saved
by the bell from a possible knock
out in the eighth round.
New York promoters are dickering
for a bout between the Englishman
and Leach Cross, to tafte place at
Madison Square Garden some time in
May.

MERCER BEATS SEWANEE;
HUNT WHIFFS FIFTEEN
MACON. GA.. April 29.—Mercer
took the first of a two-gaine series
from Sewanee here yesterday, 4 to 2.
Hunt, of Mercer, fanned fifteen of
Sewanees star stickers and pitched
gilt-edge ball.
The weather was more suited fjr
football, and the coldness was ren
dered more disagreeable by the ab
sence of a grandstand, which burned
down last week. However, the few
fans present were brought to their
feet by the great playing of the two
rivals.
Mercer scored one run in I he sec
ond. two in the third and one in th»

third.

‘TechTearn Will Not Do’-Heisman
© 0 Q Q © 0 <D
AlabamaSquadShowsMuchClass
By .J. H. Heisman.
i
T HE Alabama-Tech games of
last week demonstrated little
that was new regarding t'.i*
Tuscaloosa team. They are a fast
clean-fielding set. and clever enough
on bases. A number of their play
ers look like healthy claimants for
All-Southern honors, and the team
itself is making a record which will
land them high in the percentage
column. They have won two from
Mississippi A. A* M., two from Tu-
lane, two from Mercer, and now two
from Tech. The only colleg€‘ gam-s
they have lost were the two to Geor
gia in Athens, and then they were
without the aid of their crack first
baseman. Gosa, who along with M- -
Dowell in left field and Joplin, at
short, ranks as a topnotcher.
The Red and White team does not
stack up as a bunch of very dangerous
Hitters. Their pitching staff is fair.
Pratt, the man concerning whose
work on the mound so much his
been written, showed very little
against Tech. I do not think he can
continue to get away with the suc
cess he has had in the past f \v
weeks. Still, the combination as a
whole is a strong one, and will con
tinue to be heard from.
* * *
TK<’H revealed unto herself, how-
1 ever. a. whole lot of new things
in these two games. One was that h
is not impossible for the team to get
safe hits in numbers, and again that
they are by no means the consistent
ly strong defensive team that had
been hoped. The team exactly' re
versed till former work by hitting
terrifically, and fielding miserably.
The base running, too. was far be
low what the Yellow Jaekets have
been showing. The defects in these
departments cost them both games.
There is no denying that as .u
present constituted the Tech team
will not do. The new men. though
coming to Tech with “reps" a mile
long, have fallen down most lament
ably time and again. Never have
I seen a team that promised so voM
in the early spring disappoint so
badly in mid-season. It is quite ap
parent that nothing can save it from
annihilation save immediate and ex
tensive reconstruction. In the ao-
tual match games, but three or four
of the players have shown real class.
Among this number must be included
t’aptain Montague, whose game has
been nothing short of superb all the
way through. Attridge and Wither-
ington have also done well. The
pitching staff has done fairly well,
but it is inclined to be wobbly. Pit*s’
hitting has been one of the few rays
of sunshine, r Qfie rest of the men.
speaking from their exhibitions in
games, not in practice, run all u-
way from “punk,” through "punk-
er" to “punkest.”
Yes. something will have to be
done to that Tech team—something
big and quick. It will be done.
• • *
EORGIA’S trip North, it seems ; .
me. was an entirely satisfactory
jaunt, and *in my opinion Athenians
have a right to feel thoroughly satis
fied with its results. No team can
win all its games on the road, and
few can win most of them. The de
feats they met with were by a sma 1
margin, so that it cannot be said
they were not in the running even In
these.
Two things about the Red and
Black team seem to account best for
the strong showing of the club. Ono
of these was rather expected, the
other quite unexpected. The former
is the fine and ‘’illegant” hitting that
the team has been doing all season,
and the other is the decided effect
iveness of the two new pitchers, Mor
ris and Corley. These men have
done remarkable work, particularly
when it is recalled that they have
done it alone and done it all. Es
pecially did their work -show’ to ad
vantage on the recent road trip
where the' had to alternate every
other day in the box. 11’» the oi l
story—a team of hitters with a cou
ple of good pitchers can win a pen
nant.
• * *
A FBFRN made it three straight
from Mercer. My prediction was
that they would win the series from
the Baptists, but I did not look fvr
them to do it in such decisive fash
ion This definitely eliminates Mer
cer from all idea of high ranking,
while It gives Auburn a stiff boost. I
do not consider Auburn as strong as
Alabama, and 1 do not think thglr
record will look as well at the end of
1 the aeason. The Auburnites nr.
I making a pretty nice locking <■;«! »;
dar of the spring season just the
G
same. Catcher Williams seemed aba
to continue his healthy walloping
of the ball against the Mercer pitch
ers. If he weren't so slow on nis
pins he would be a likely looking man
for the "All-S” team.
• V *
/^LEMSON still keeps on her tri
umphant way and the Tigers
seem determined not to leave 90
much as a grave spot of their rivals
in the Palmetto State. Pitcher Ez I
is keeping up his good work and
making good on my assertion th; t
he would be found this season to be
one of the best three flingers of the
Association.
* * *
'T*I1IS week all the Tennessee teams
come to Georgia. Vanderbilt
and Tennessee lock horn with Geor
gia at Athens, and Sewanee tries
both Mercer and Tech. My opinion
is that Georgia will take three out
of four, if not all four of those she
has scheduled, fob neither the Vol
unteers nor the Commodores appr ir
especially formidable. At Macon
1 think Sewanee stands a good shi v
to come off victorious as Mercer
seems to be somewhat demoralized
through the loss of Moses. Between
Sewanee and Tech it should be two
dandy scraps. Sewanee is strong,
but don't think the Yellow Jacke's
are giving up the ship. By the en i
of the week ther£ will be some now
• Richmonds in the field” out at Grant
Park, and we’ll have some kind of
an aggregation patched up for ths
Mountaineers.
Crackers Release
Keating to Columbus
Shortstop Leaves to Join New Team
mates—Smith Purchases Infielder
Bisland From Pittsburg.
Manager Bill Smith has made two
more changes in his outfit. The loc al
leader dispensed with Walter Keat
ing, secured by the Crackers from the
Portsmouth Club of the Eastern
League, and purchased Infielder Bis
land last night from the Pittsburg
Nationals. The latter will join the
Crabkers In time to get into the game
against the Barons Wednesday.
Bisland was with Springfield in the
Central League lavt season, playing
third base. He hit .287 in ^314 games,
making 128 hits and scoring 63 runs.
Thirty-four of his hits wer etwo-bag-
gers and four three-baggers.
At third base he had 125 put-outs.
232 assists and 29 errors for a fielding
avearge of .925.
Keating was .-•old vestrday to the
Columbus Club of the South Atlantic
League and left on the night train to
join his new team mates.
With these changes, Manager Smith
will have but two men to cut off by
to-night, a pitcher and an infielder.
Jack Kernan will probably be sold to
the Albany f’lub of the South Atlantic
League.
RIVERSIDE WINS 15TH:
TRIMS STONE MOUNTAIN
GAINESVILLE, GA., April 29.—
Riverside continued her unbroken
string of victories by defeating Stone
Mountain 7 to 1 yesterday.
This makes the fifteenth straight
for the local lads, who have not lost
a game this season. It begins to look
as if Riverside has a look in for the
prep championship of the State. The
features were the base running of the
Riverside team, the pitching of Wil
liamson and a running catch in right
field by Carraway.

“Pitchers Will Win for Giants”

Chief Meyers Writes for Georgian
By Chief Meyers.
(Star Catcher of Champion Giants.)
N EW' YORK, April 29.—The Giants
have a long hard row to
hoe before we cinch a third
straight pennant. If we hoc all the
time and hoe our level best, we should
reach the final hill with plenty to
spare over the field.
For the first time since I knew
him Christy Mathew son was this year
at his» very best when th*- season
opened. Right now he is the Matty
of old.
Big Jeff Tesreau is in far better
form than he was at this time last
year. He is at his best in hot weath
er. With his added experience and
wonderful endurance I look for him
to give both Matty and "Rube” a
battle for club pitching honors.
Leon Ames la another man 1 count
upon for a good reason. He has al
ways been very unfortunate in the
matter of tough breaks against him
But he is far better and steadier than
I have ever seen him. The same may
be said of reliable Geogre Wiltse No
better southpaw pitching could 1>*
imagined than that which he showed
Philadelphia for ten innings Tuesday.
Colt Twirlara of Merit.
McGraw has a capaJiJe s'taff of
pitching Veterans supplemented bv
unusually promising recruit material.
Either Demaree or Goulait would
stand up well under regular duty. I
am sure. Hchupp, a young soutn-
paw. ha« a fine curve and plenty of
speed. I will be greatly mistaken
if he is not a real sensation in time.
He will be better when he fill? out.
These three colts, with the ever-
willing Doc Crandall, mature the
Giants a most wonderful reserve
corps. When the double-headers be
gin to pile up such an asset should
assert itself. No longer will the
veterans have to be worked to death
to keep our team out in front.
It is much too early In the light to
draw conclusions about competitors.
1 have thought all along that Pitts
burg would give us the hardest run
for the laurels. But 1 will have t«
wait to see the Pirates in action.
Their cause has been seriously
damaged, it would appear from this
distance, through the injuries to Hans
Wagner and George Glb.«on. Hans is
not through by a long way. I reckon.
I expect to see him and l\is Mg hat
in the first series at the Polo Grounds.
Right now the Phillies look great.
They have a most commendable
fighting spirit that will carry them
» long way toward success. If
Oharlie Dooin were as well fortified
with substitutes as we are bis Quak
ers might be regarded a.« very serious
rivals. If the team escapes that hoo
doo of Injuries that has pursued it
for several seasons it should be ii.
the fight all the w a*
Dodgers to «iu Giants.
Brooklyn. our dearly beloved
neighbor* should heup us greatly.
Dahlen appears to have oeeurfcd a
well-balanced team, capable of giv
ing i good account of itself in any
company. Southpaw Allen has great
ly strengthened the pitching staff.
Otto Miller is a fine catcher.
Brooklvn combines with Its many
fine qualities far more speed than
ever before It Is a team that should
lie able to bowl over our strong* st
rivals and thus help our cause.
Brooklyn wh« our best friend in 1911.
It will be remembered, being the only
neighbor that could stop Chicago.
Cannot See the Cubs.
I do not believe that the Cubs’arc
going to raise much fuss. I have
nothing but admiration for Evers’
catching department. I cannot see
the pitchers, and no team ran go very
far without doing good twirling
I am terribly disappointed that
Boston is so weak and listless this
reason. Usually the team was up in
the first division for a month or'two
and helped us considerably by beat
ing our most feared rivals. There is
absolutely no advantage in having h
team in there that everybody can lick.
1 would like to see Stallings bolster
up his team.
It is also to be hoped that Joe
Tinker will get his Reds straight
ened out before he work* off most of
his dates with Pittsburg Cincinnati
always was the legitimate prey of
New York, and If the Reds are, going
to “pull the Boston" all season against
Pittsburg and Chicago then, indeed, it
will behoove New York to get even
busier with the hoe.

2. The visitors hit Pitts and Eubanks
hard, and forced Heisman to send
Gamble to the slab. It was the first
time in twelve years that the North
Carolina lads have played the Jack
ets. and they did not fail to leave a
name that w’ill last with the local
fans.
Tech went into the game with a
sweeping change in the line-up. Only
four of the regular varsity men were
sent out to start the game, and two
of theue were playing out of their
regular positions.

Kilbane Rules 2 to 1
Choice Over Dundee
Very Little Betting on Result of
Battle for Feather Title
Tonight.
LOS ANGELES, April 29.- Al
though consensus of opinion among
fight enthusiasts is that the Kilbane-
Dundee featherweight championship
battle at Vernon to-night will g»> the
limit of twenty rounds, there has been
virtually no betting on the contest so
far. It is a unique situation prece
dent to a championship match and
apparently the result of general con
fidence that Champion Kilbane will
successfully defend his title.
Odds of 2 to 1 failed to bring out
any Dundee money to-day and the
betting commissioners considered it
doubtful if Dundee support could be
developed by the expected ringside
odds of 10 to 4, or even less.
It will be the first match for the
featherweight championship since
Kilbane won the title from Ab At-
tell a year ago lyst February. Ring
side odds at that encounter favored
Attell at 2 to 1, and better.
Both nven are down to the required
weight, but Kilbane appears to have
made it with better results to his
physical condition than Dundee. The
latter, however, showed great speed in
his last preliminary work with tht
gloves yesterday.
