Some of them are abso lutely outspoken about the manager who grabs so and so much for his services, forgetting In many Instances that it Is the m innger who has boost ed hi* tighter into a state with the promoter where almost double the price of what the fighter himself might get is obtained. While a man ager is good he is mighty good, es pecially in this matter of increasing the price for the services of his fight er. In the case of Ketchel, much is to be said on both sides. Larney made a good card out of Steve and Jumped his value up three or four hundred per cent. As much cannot be said of all managers, however, and in a good many cases the fighters have legitimate grievance's. It is gen- erally the case, however, that the pub g* is but slightly interested in th• private affairs of tighter and mana ger. -jytg: •jJlFfT VMM-*- TH/lJK \ lT yOA^> _ I l &jsr t4<A\ IK) TVi£ J T- r Nfc \VJAS A ®|T I-ATE Vk'ipev- Dlfr CfrZe - t-OMCr- I _ \NHATS — U H- DlO .A ■feUB-CytAe.

According to the •lder McCue, whose name Matty took for fighting purposes when he start ed into the business, not one, hut severai Chicago managers are trying to steal Matty away from him. Emil Thiry. who has been handling Packey McFarland's business for some time now, is among the number, according to a letter from McCue. Thiry wants McCue badly and pointed a rosy fu- fiure for Matty the other day, but it looks as if the boy’s heart is still with the man who brought him out and gave him a real start towards fame/ and ring fortune. 1t ATTANOOGA, TENN , May 1. The release of "Red" Massey to Galveston and that of Eddie Starke to New London marks Elber- feld’s third reduction of the season for the sake of an observance of the salary and player limits. The two youngsters In question were decor ated with the order of the can to make room for Rudy Sommers and Harry Thrasher. With tiis present lineup Elberfeld honestly believes that the Eookouts will rapidly shake off the "Jinx" which has pursued the club all season am! speedily become a factor In the race M ATTY. It now appears, Is prac tically matched to box Jeff O’ Connell, Joe Sullivan’s young feather weight star, the contest to be decid ed in Racine about May 15. That date was selected because It will be the second anniversary of the day up on which Matty look his first boxing lesson from McCue in the latter’s gymnasium. The match will be a sort of testimonial to McC’ue and bis young fighter by the citizens of Ra cine who feel grateful to them for the advertising the town has received at their hands Incidentally, McCue will run the show himself und ex pects to profit handsomely thereat, for which nobody will blame him or should not begrudge him the coin. McCue tlrlnks if any of the Chicago flght managers could have the na - tienoe to take a green boy like Matty and in two years get him to win for ty-two battles, the lftst ten of them . on knockouts, they would have some thing to be proud qf. No fair minded person will deny that the Lookouts as they now stand with Thrasher, King, and Elston in the outfield. Gillespie. Elberfeld, Flick and Coyle on the inner works; "Gab by" Street doing the bulk of the catching, and Coveleskle, Sommers, More. Chappelle, nnd Troy for hurlers are truly a formidable aggregation. This array leaves Elberfeld also well fortified In the utility role with “Dug Harbison. The regular array above mentioned will hit. exclusive of pitchers, ■ close to 290 and will field with any club in the league; In fact, It Is doing so at present, and this being the ease the Kid does not believe it possible for the losing streak which has as sailed the Lookouts to continue Its pernicious effectiveness much longer. The real cause for the Lookouts’ losses up to date after a careful ana lysis of the club’s play seems to be a lack of concerted effectiveness be tween the offensive and defensive alignments Lack of the proper co operation between the batsman and the base runner has also been costly. These finer points of the game have naturally been ignored to some ex tent by the wild anxiety of the In dividual members of the club to win but it is believed that a short string of victories would Imbue the locals with that "esprit do corps" which, combined with their natural strength would make them truly formidable. Local fans are not at all discourag ed this is an actual fact PREP LEAGUE NOTES Tech High Is trying to get an out-of- town game for next Saturday.

SONG OF THE SULLIVANS By DAMON RUNYON (In baseball parlance a “Sullivan” is a day coach, i T HE water is cold in the w-ash room, 1 hear the youngster complain; And he mentioned the ventilation which prevails in this limited train. And, hearln' him beef, I got thinkin’ o’ MY route to the big. league goal When I rode in a Sullivan eleepjr, wit' me pillow me uniform roll'. I thought o' the jumps in Texas, where you leave w-hile there’s still some light, Boltin' your sinkers and Javvy to ride for the rest o’ the night. O’ the days through the wide, warped country—the sky like a red-hot bowl— And me in a Sullivan sleeper, wit' me pillow me uniform roll! I thought o’ the heave o’ the rattler, a-limpin’ along the miles; I thought o’ the day coach odors, wit’ the fruit peels piled in the aisles- The squawk o' the fretful babies; the stops at each prairie dog knoll— While 1 rode In a Sullivan sleeper, wit’ me pillow me’ uniform roll! y 1 thought o’ Ihe hotels yonder, and the ptomaine germs that we’d fight; O’ me room wit' te alley exposure, and a bath every Saturday night. O’ the heat that soaked through the hallways like a breath from the fur- nacy Hole— When I rode in the Sullivan sleeper, wit’ me pillow me uniform roll! I thought o' the dinky ball grounds down by the railroad yards, Sooty wit' smoke anil cinders, and rotted by age to the guards. And I dreamt o' the old skin diamond, and the infield that tried me sou!. When 1 rode In the Sullivan sleeper, w it’ me pillow me uniform roll! Gettin’ my rest in the Pullman, and hearin' the youngsters complain O’ the train, and the diner, and service, it hands me a laugh—and a pain.

COLUMN CONSTANT complaint has arisen from the base runners of A THENS, GA., May l.—Big John Morris twirled a no-hit no-run game for the University of Geor gia against Vanderbilt yesterday, there by winning the S. I. A. A. champion ship for his team. The final score was Georgia 8, Vandy 0. Morris pitched masterful ball for his team. There was only one rap which could possibly come under the category of hits. This was from the bat of Morri son in the fourth period and was a short pop over short, which Clements scarcely succeeded in touching. Although the hit was of the Texas leaguer variety, this was scored as an error. It was the clouting of the local ag gregation, however, which sent the Van dy team back to Dudley field to tell of the wonderful bunch of ball players Alex Cunningham has rounded up in Athens to detcat his alma mater. Cov ington, Georgia’s crack thlrdsacker, was out of the game on account of pending action concerning his eligibility, but Holden, captain of the scrubs, filled his the Southern League that they are handicapped by the fact that no Southern League umpire ever calls a balk shoes in nice style, preventing a score in the second round by cleverly hand ling a hard-hit ball to his station. 'ihe fireworks started in the initial round and before the second inning had started every man on the team had appeared at the bat, four had hit safely, five had tallied and the game was placed on ice from the very first. Luck twirled steady ball for the visi tors after his first ascension and suc ceeded in striking out eight of the lo cals. The division of the Commodores put- outs is unusual, the catcher and first baseman getting all but three. Left Fielder Turner pulled a pretty catch in the fourth, rcfbblng Clements of an extra base hit. Ginn got two doubles, Bowden three hits out of four trials and Clements three stolen bases for the Red and Black.

CLEVELAND, OHIO, May 1.—Catcher Pete Shields, former captain of the Uni versity of Mississippi baseball team, was released to the Portland, Oreg , club by the Cleveland American League Club yesterday. Outflielder Charley Betts was released to the Beaumont Club, of the Texas League. Now and then a pitcher arises to defend his "balk motion’’ and now no less an authority than Eel Walsh, one of the world’s greatest pitchers, says he is going to call on President Ban Johnson, demonstrate his famous half-balk and get the league mogul to call off his umpires. "There isn’t an umpire in the Amer ican League that can tell me how I balk.” says the big fellow. "Some of the umpires say that I throw my shoulders forward, indicating that I was to deliver the ball to the batter and then whirled and threw to fir^'t. thus violating the rules. I do not move my shoulders except when I start the throw to first. Another umpire told me that I balked by the movement of my knees. Yet I don’t move my knees until I make the throw to catch a runner off the base. "Clark Griffith, manager of the Washington team and the man who is always trying to get the umpires to call balks on me, doesn’t know* my movement to first. He declares that I balk with my shoulders, but I do not. "Naturally every time that a balk is called on me I want to know why and so far not an umpire has ever told me. Many of them haven’t tried. "Clark Griffith and Jimmy Calla han were two pitchers who were con sidered mighty good in their day when it came to holding runners to first base. I have talked to Griffith and know what his motion was. I have talked to Callahan and know what move he had. I have combined the two and think 1 have-a motion that is mighty effective when it comes to holding base runnp'rs close and at the same time is within the spirit of the rules. "I know one thing, and that is that I should like to explain it to the pres ident of the league, so that his um pires would understand it, and would not punish me for using it.” C EVBRAL ball players have broken Into the big leagues who could neither read nor write. They were forced to work so early in life they never had an opportunity to enjoy the same advantages other youth*' did. It is amazing to see how well they get along, despite this handicap. Generally one of their teammates will act as "social secretary,” and will attend to all their correspondence for them. They also make it a point to accompany the players into the dining-room and tip them off to what is on the bill of fare. Frequently the non-reader will listen to what the other fellows order and languidly say; “Oh, bring me the same thing.” One chap, who is still playing ball, gets by splendidly In the dining cars —better than one would believe pos sible. It’s the custom on many lines to write out your order on a card fur nished by the head waiter. This fellow casually picks up the menu card on such occasions, glances It over with a bored look, and ex claims: "Let’s have a sirloin steak hashed brown potatoes and a cup -of coffee." Then he tosses the card aside. ~He knows all diners furnish those three staples and generally has the same thing until the team hits a hotel again. Nobody, to watch him, would have the slightest suspicion he couldn't make out a word on the bill of fare. He is a regulai little wonder.

It spreads with as- ' tonishing rapidity, often infecting the entire system in a few days. 1 It is fortunate, however, that there is a remedy to cope quickly and thor oughly with such a condition, and thanks to the energy of its producers the famous S.

Pitchers coming to the Southern League have found that they could get away with anything from a half-balk to a sixteen-seventeenth- balk and, of course, they took advantage of this situation. the Cardinal manager went to the plate 19 times. He drew nine passss out of the nineteen times up, or an average of nearly .500 in that time, which is his long suit. He made two sacrifice hits and so was officially at bat only eight times. In the eight times he was forced to hit the ball he secured four hits for an average of .500, on account of having the pitcher in the hole all the time. He scored six runs himself and helped in the scoring of another by a sac rifice hit. This is a record hard to beat in a single series. At outwitting and outgaming pitchers Huggins is pretty nearly i na class by himself. He positively will not hit at a ball which is not over tile plate and the pitcher is constantly in the hole when pitch ing to him. Manager Tinker says that the only way to circumvent Hug is to lay the ball right over the plate with speed on it and trust to his not hitting it out of the infield.
