v THE ATLANTA HEORGTAX AND NEWS.FRIDAY, MAY 2, 191?,. FIVE MEN FDR D AN - SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT :: Our Idea of Some Identification Copyright, 1913, International News Service. • • • • By Tad T J >1IK Sewane# Tig*»T* open a two- 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.

There is ju*f a possibility, old top, that Chance and Chase may rout out a ball club for Farrell. "Jake Stahl came down to the hotel and made a bid for Chase,” was the way Husk Chance related it. "Jake must have a little of the Greek in him. He wanted me to give him Hal Chase for ati outfielder, a catcher and a couple more. The conversation dl3 not last long." This was the gist of what Chance had to say about the fa moil* Missouri compromise.

CHRISTY MATHMS BIG Lfr LtAGUt GOSSIP BOXING News of the Ring Game 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- FINE SPRING CLOTHES!! The kind you want.

He had watted long for the stirring song Of drumming hoofs on the track; Ho parted his pay out to far Rock- away To welcome the potties back.

He grinned a grin— It really wns almost a crime! But he learned on a look for that "amateur" book That the "boob" had been gone some time! 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 ’S YOUR LIVER AND BOWELS? If You Are Taking Hot Springs Liver Buttons They Are no Doubt in Splendid Condition.

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.” (Copyright, 1913, by McClure News paper Syndicate.) Boxing fans in Milwaukee, Wis., are | to see another middleweight clash. I Frank Klaus, the Pittsburg battler, has | been secured to meet Jack Dillon some i time this month. • * • Dillon and Klaus have met on two I other occasions. The Pittsburg boy de- ! feated Jack in twenty rounds at Daly I City, Cal., March 23, 1912, after a hard battle. On May 3, of the same year, the two met again in a ten-round scrap at New York, and Dillon was awarded the shade. Both are claimants of the middleweight title. * * * Out In Denver, Col., to-night two other middleweights will battle for honors. Eddie McGoorty and Jimmy dabby are the gentlemen. Although McGoorty out weighs Clabby by several pounds, the latter is no slouch, and shoifid give the Oshkosh boy a tough argument. They are billed to go ten rounds. • * * Tommy Murphy will probably meet the winner of the Bud Anderson-Joe Mandot match at Los Angeles May 30. Tom McCarey thinks the bout would be a great attraction for his arena. * * * Johnny Dundee now claims half the featherweight championship, due to his draw bout with Johnny Kilbane, the champion, Tuesday night. * * * Leach Cross thinks bis brother Phil Cross is the coming welterweight cham pion. Phil recently bested Young Jack O’Brien, and is now after the star welters. • • • Joe Thomas is trying to get the New Orleans promoters to stage another bout between himself and Charlie White. * * * Billy Papke has started light work on his farm at Kewanee for his prospective match with Eddie McGoorty at Mil waukee May 30. * • • Young Shugrue is another boxer the stars are dodging. They evidently re member the unexpected trimming Shu- grue handed Leech (’rose. * • • Promoter Edwards made quite a hit Wednesday night when he returned the money of the Britton-Moore fight to the fans.
