game* serie# thin afternoon with
ihe Yellow Jackets at Grant
Field.
The Tech line-up probably will be
weakened oil account of the big cut
last week, but then again k may not.
The rumor wap out this morning
that the five players recently sus
pended and sent to the scrub team by
t'ouch Heftman would be given a
chance to redeem themselves in this
game to-day. Whether this is going
to happen or not will be determined
'»iien the teams trot on the held this
/ternoon—and not before
The Tiger* have just home from a
long road trip to Gainesville, Fla.,
where they met the University of
Florida team in two closely contest
ed games. They also played in Ma
con. where they Broke even with Mer
ter.
This defeat of Mercer by Sewance
gives them a slight edge on tne Jack
ets. for Mercer managed to make it
three out of four from Tech.
Since the defeat tendered the team
by Wake Forest Monday Coach Heis-
n:;in has been laying special stress on
base running and batting. With the
improvement that has been made
Tech will doubtless be a different
team than that which met and lost to
Via bam a last week. The big shake-
up which occurred last week and cur
off Moore Fielder, Montague. Pound
and Donaldson was caused by ill spir
it on the part of the players. Coach
Heisman took this method of disci
plining his men more as an example
to others than anything else.
Th« Pooh and Sewance teams are
about evenly matched, although 3e-
wanee might have a shade the better
in the twirling line. Kubanka prob
ably will do the pitching for Tech to
day and Gordon for Sewanee.
Of local inter- :it is the appearance
of Pat Dinkins, of Atlanta, for three
years a star catcher on the Marist
team, who will do the receiving for
the Tigers.
This is Pat s first season 1n college
baseball, and he Is .fast proving him
self one of the best of the bunch and
one of the leading catchers in college
The game will be called at 3:30
sharp at Grant Field.

BASEBALL SUMMARIES.
N JCW YORK. May 2.—From all allies I have heard discouraging talk about tho (Hants
because the team is not out In front by several games now. It is true the club has
not taken the leap which many of us expected It would, but the spell of rainy weather
that lasted almost a week at the beginning of the race set the Giants back quite a little. The
club came home In the best shape that I ever saw a team get back from the South, but the rain
hurt some of the players considerably, men who need work.
It showed Its effect on Tesreau, for Instance. But with the layoff he lost ground, and
has not showed much since the season began, although with a little warm weather he will be the sensation of
the league, I believe. He needs warm weather to work at his best. There was only one home run made off
Tesreau all last season, whereas two have been registered against him already. Of course, that is no indication
of anything, because most home runs come under the head of a "lucky wallop.”
Nobody questions the real strength
of the Giants. They will win the
pennant, 1 believe, but not by as big
a margin as they did last year. The
pitching staff is the best in the league,
taking It from end to end. Demaree
pitched a game against Philadelphia
last week that stamps him as Iteing
one of the coming .stars of the league,
and he Is coming fast, too. The re
cruit, has all the marks of a big
leaguer, and does not get nervous In
the box In a tight game, such as he
encountered last week against Alex
ander. Most young fellows would
have cracked under the strain of that
light with Philadelphia. Demaree lias
nothing to say about it until after the
game, ami then he showed his disap
pointment. He wanted to go out and
purchase a gun and Indulge In a little
target practice, with Mr. Klem, the
umpire, playing the part of the target.
* • •
'T'HE Giants should have received
1 credit for that game, and 1f we
should lose the Hug this year by one
contest, there would be an awful
howl, and that decision and game
would come in for a lot of discussion.
The closer the race, the more impor
tance will lie attached to that de
cision. If we should lose the cham
pionship by that game—which I hope
will not come true—It would be the
second pennant to go through a tech
nicality. Personally, I believe Klem
was wrong in Ills decision, and Mc-
Graw, realizing the importance of it,
has protested the game.
It was In the tenth inning, with
three men on the bases and none out,
you that McGraw picked Demaree out of
the game and placed McCormick in
the box score to bat for him.
But the umpire forgot to mention
it until Alexander was ready to
pitch. It Is a rule of the league that
a substitution must be announced.
McCormick did not know It, because
he had his hack to the umpire, and
Alexander did not notice It. He pitch
ed the ball In good faith, and put
everything he had on it. McCormick
whistled a clean single to left field,
and everybody broke for home, think-

lug the game had been won. Mc
Cormick was out under the shower in
the clubhouse when one of the substi
tutes rushed in and said ;
‘‘Hurry back on the field. That hit
does not count.”
“Aw, quit your kidding,” answered
McCormick. ‘‘What do you want to
do, get me out from under this shower
so you can use It V”
“No; It’s on the level,” replied the
substitute.
McCormick would not believe him,
and a committee had to bring an
affidavit from McGraw to get the
pinch-hitter back on the field again.
When the game was readjusted and
the'players once more resumed their
places, It was getting very dark, and
the ball was hard to see. McCormick
could not repeat, and hit into a double
play.
McGraw, who has a great memory
for detail at once, recalled a decision
which he says set up a precedent,
and “Mac” maintains that Klem re
versed himself on this judgment he
gave last week. McGraw pulled in
on Klem at once.
“It was tn a game that I put De
vore in to run for Meyers,” asserted
"Mac,” In the clubhouse later. “Josh
was caught napping off first base by
a throw from the pitcher, but Klem
had forgotten to make the announce
ment. Devore was In the game, so
I kicked, and told the umpire he
could not call a man out when he
had not conceded him to be In the
contest Klem refused to listen to
the argument, and put Devore out.”
This does look like a parallel case.
Klem could have put it up to Orth,
the umpire on the bases, to say
whether, the hit had been entirely
proper, as "Smiling Al" was Watch
ing the play closely when McCor
mick hit the ball. That looks to be
like the logical course to follow. It

ployed. It was a tough game to lose,
especially for Demaree.

I T’S funny how pitchers will pre
tend to be out of form when they
are really in the best of shape. It
is an old trick of twirlers, and I
have done it myself. Before the
first game of the season with Bos
ton I was shaking hands with “Hub"
Perdue.
“How is the wing this season,
Hub?" I asked.
"Very bad," he answered. "I
don’t think I could last a game
through."
Then he went out and pitched the
battle of his life.
Before the tie game with Alex
ander, some one asked him what
kind of shape he was in this season.
“Rotten," he promptly replied.
Then look what he did^
“I hate to hear an opposing pitch
er complaining before a game," said
McGraw once. “Look out for a no
hit contest when they spring an
alibi.”
