Whiting. fVDER the lash of Ones and threats (Implied If not express ed) Bill Smith U driving on ward a wavering pitching staff, lay wli U ver 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. wea. ,lp iCPP Nf\sN'T 'I ANOtWef* CAT (N ' THE HOUbG. tVPR-y SVRAV CAT | c*< Dot steb *-t*r wfVN rh> To b?ino honme.. rt - t - Pur end to RtfcHT (MOW I TOt-D Hire « ’‘mouWuo ToviCi l WOO'-ON'r Tor a cat (e, THt moui»£ l . ^ • * NATVjRALLV KINO ro <\NIIAAIA TOO (3UT c.

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. BASEBALL SUMMARY Games To-day. Nashville at Atlanta.

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» sixth.

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.

Direc tor Porter has issued strict orders that the police hereafter stop all one sided boxing exhibitions as soon as it becomes evident that, the contest ants ace unevenly matched in weight or skill.

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.

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.
