So “Joe” Tinker declared himself before the season opened, when he assumed charge of the Cincinnati team. The intense rivalry existing lietween Messrs. Evers and Tinker, now National League managers, is not altogether unknown to the public. When "Joe” jumped into the chair at Cincinnati recently, he had just one thins; in mind, and that was to beat out Evers. So far in the race, the Cubs have lieen the l>iyc surprise to bolh the players and the fans of the country. It was generally figured the Chicago club would l>e much weaker than it was last year, be cause most observers did not believe Evers, with his excitable temperament, would hold up us a manager and because it was not thought he had any pitching staff. “Johnny” has done a lot to correct these impressions since the National league race oiiened. The Cubs have been playing tough teams—the Pirates being one of the best clubs in the league—yet “Johnny” has crowded his team right up to the top in the standing. It is my opinion that the Cubs are going to la* strong contenders for the National league pennant this season, and, if \\ agner fails to come around into form so that he is fit for action, the Chicago club will be the one for tlie Giants to beat instead of Pitts burg. This prediction may lie rather pre mature, because of the extreme youth of the season, hut, from looking at the box scores, it is evident Evers is having better luck with his pitchers than was exjieoted. Cheney has been whirling along, and has dropped indications lie will enjoy a good year. Lavender will not. lie a top-uoteher. but he should win a whole lot of games for the club. Evers also seems to have a pretty good man in Humph ries, who sot the Pirates down the other day. working against Camnltz, rated as one of the iiest among the Pittsburg pitchers. * • * O N the other hand, Tinker has failed tn spurt as he intended. On paper, his pitching staff looks to lie stronger than Evers’, with two headliners like Kenton and Suggs, but they have failed to get away. Tinker does not appear to have his team working smoothly, while Evers, who was supposed to encounter consider able irritation, has his club going along very nicely. The secret of this Chicago success came to me from a player in the Nn tional League the other day. All the Cubs honestly believe they can grab the world’s series money this year, and every man on the team is pulling hard and doing his best. There is also a report that lion uses were plentifully attached to the con tracts on the Chicago club last win ter, because Charles W. Murphy real ized lie was fighting for Ids baseball life in Chicago after encountering all adverse criticism he met when he let Chance go. Bonus clauses are great inspirers. Kresuahan is helping Evers in handling the twiTiers, and il is to his coaching that many attribute the good showing of the pitching staff to date. The infield is naturally strong, with Bridwell' plugging up comfortably the hole that it was thought Tinker would leave at short stop. Saier is a little better this season than he was last, although he was a very good fielding first baseman then. His hitting has im proved. So far, the duties of managing have not hurt Evers’ individual play. He is booming along in grand style at second. Zimmerman is bound to lie a hard-hitter, hut the chances are he will not bat as freely this year as he did last, because he went through an unusually good season and a lucky one, when his hitting is considered. • • • T HE outfield has developed a world <>f strength. Mitchell, who acted last year in Cincinnati as if lie had tiogun to fade, seems to have improved with the change of atmosphere, as players frequently do, and is pounding the pill up with the Iiest of them. Schulte has already established himself among National i/eaghe pitchers as a hitter, and Clymer, who is no spring chicken so far as age goes, is smashing the hall hard. The apparent weak department of the Cut) learn was the pitching stall, and that has developed Unexpected strength. How long these twirlers will continue in top form is proble matical, of course; but I look on the Cubs as a strong pennant possibility in the National league. If Evers can keep the team going along in pretty good shape, the play ers will stick together and the fans stick by it. if the club cracks wide open and the player.# will get fighting and bickering among themselves the team will be gone as a champion ship contender. Baseball followers love a winner, and, in spite of tlie feeling in Chicago over the Chance incident, they will stick as long as Evers keeps winning. And there is no reason why he should not make a good showing. (Copyright, 1913. by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) SOUTHERN LEAGUE AT CHATTANOOGA. 0 0-8 11 2 0 0-0 7 4 Hannah.

Baseball Catches On In Paris O O O O Q O O Tod Sloan Is Coaching a Team Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. P ARKS. FRANCE. May 1.—Paris has a half dozne baseball team 1 ? now playing the American na tional game and a league will be or ganized this summer. The game is spreading like wildfire through France. A couple of Americans, T. E. Roosevelt and W. H. Burgess really started the game, translating simple rules into French and coaching the boys. Then other Americans volun teered their service* as coaches. Tod Sloan, the famous jockey, organized a team at the Malnon-Lafitte training stables, the members of his team be ing h mixture of French, English and American stable boys. Valentine Flood, formerly, a Princeton Univer sity coach, has staked off a ball ground on the racing club’s grounds at Colombes and is giving his ser vices to teams playing there. The aristocratic Polo Club in the Bois has permitted another ball park to be laid out on the polo field, and it looks as if Paris is to have a “polo grounds” as well as New York. American ar tists are mixing in and the Latin Quarter is wearing a deserted look these spring days.« Cafe proprletO"» are beginning to be alarmed lest the sport of sitting on their terraces and drinking queer drinks be forsaken for impromptu baseball parties. First Attempts Are Funny. It is amusing to watch the French boys throw from the outfield and pitch. They can bat astonishingly well, but they throw' like girls. Jt requires the center fielder, shortstop, second baseman and pitcher to get a long drive to center back home. And when a pitcher hits a batter. fhs game stops for a time while ajxflo- gies are made. Then, too, a Frenchman does so hate and perfectly loathe to soil h r s clothing or even to disarrange it. Also, the average Frenchman, though famous for his bravery when facing cannon or musketry fire, is—well, he shrinks from taking a chance on barking his shin, scratching his hand or turning a Charley horse, and it can be imagined how ludicrous would be a game of baseball in which thought of these minor matters was put ahead of thoughts of the long end of a score. Such conditions do not make well for speed, and in several games played about Paris the ball had to be knocked a mile for a man to beat even the frenzied throw of the Par isian inflelder or short fielder to the bag. Are Afraid to Slide. And it is totally impossible to get it into their heads that sliding to bases is an important adjunct of the game. A few days ago when Tod Sloan was drilling his team, he was impressing on the Frenchmen the im portance of getting to first and of stealing bases. Tod then went to bat, and with a final admonition tr# his pupils to learn speed in reaching bases by watching him closely he swatted the ball out and made for first. As luck would have it, the bail was quickly fielded and Tod slid into first. Instantly the <rame broke uv. every player abandoning his post and running to the prostrate former jock ey to pick him up and excitedly asked Y ' V he came to fall, and if he was much injured. GIANTS’ TOUR ROUND WORLDALLARRANGED By Allen Sangree. N EW YORK, May 1.—The big stuff to-day is as follows: McGraw will play at Athens. No, friend fan. It will not be Ath ens, (4a.,* but Athens, Greece. And this Giant-Athens game transpires on Christmas Day, according to the pub licity friend, who is arranging the big round-the-world tour for the Giants and White Sox after this season is over.
