Robertson, wl
Portsmouth. Va
•
Crozier taught tlie young steps ho*v
best to perfe< r their athletic abili
ties. Under Crosier's watchful coach
ing the Virginian showed remarkable
athletic prowess especially in base
ball.
When the Tide Water League wn
started in a spirit of pique to put Liu
Virginia League out of business, Rob
ertson 'ned the Elizabeth City tea i,
which w v § a member of the outlaw
Tide Water League. He soon was ac
knowledged t»; t | r in that
organization. Opposing clubs were
lucky when they made a run off him.
On account of his wonderful hitting
he was used in the'outfield and at
first base when not pitching.
Charlii Babb, the ex-Memphis man
ager, was managing Norfolk in the*
Virginia League, at that time, and
tried to secure Robertson but was un
able to land the big pitcher. In fact,
every manager in the Virginia League
tried to seize Robertson, but he was
loyal to the Tid*- Water. Robertson
was a free aecnt at the time, as Un-
Tide Water was not recognized by or
ganized ball.
Scouts After Robertson.
In a short time Norfolk was h
sieged by scouts of almost all the ma
jor league clubs in t' e country.
Detroit especially made Robertson
flattering offers and Bobby Rot her
inel, their scout, took another pitcher
named Stafford, from the same team,
but could not induce Dave to sign.
The niore offers that were turned
down by Robertson onlv made the
major league clubs he more anxious
to secure him.
Mike Finn, at present in charge of
the Mobile team, was at that time a
scout for he New York club. Dick
Frozier, whom Robertson always call
ed upon for advice, was with Mike
Finn several years in both the South
ern and the Connecticut Leagues and
was on particularly friendly terms
with Mike. This friendship resulted
k in Finn securing the young Por’s
k mouth lad's signature to a piece of
paper that bound him to the New
York team
Robertson practiced a little of Tv
Cobb's stuff on Mdlraw's club by de
manding a bonus of $1,200 for signing
and was not to report until the 15th
of Juno. It was also stipulated in the
agreement that the left hander could
not be released by the New York club
Inside of a year.
Injures His Arm.
Robertson's arm while pitching in
the Tide Water League was as free
as the wing of Rube Waddell in his
palmy days. But sad to relate, Rob
ertson injured his left shoulder in a
football game and was compelled »o
throw underhanded ever since. On
account of bis superior hitting ability
McGraw kept him and was endeav
oring to make a first baseman of him.
lie was offered to one manager of a
Southern League team on the condi
tion that the player be returned to
him under optional agreement, and
it was also demanded that the mana
ger should play him at first base. The
manager in question refused to take
Robertson unless be was given a
clear title to him, which McGraw re
fused to '* n 1: was a lucky
break for Finn as 11>* player htu
demonstrate ] here that he can cer
tainly hit the ball and is exceedingly |
fast on his feet.

Many Stars After Ritchie's Title

Morgan SaysCoastWantsBritton
Bv Hd \Y. Smith.
C HICAGO, 11.1... Mny ti. rules* all sinus fail, there will 1h' some lively
fireworks touched o(T before July 4 under the championship chair in
which Willie Ritchie Ims such an Insecure seat at the present time.
Jack Britton, of this city, to say nothing of Freddie Welsh, of England ;
Tommy Murphy, of New' York, and one or two others, are preparing some
stunning pyrotechnics, and believe when the fireworks are set off there
will lie something tine doing anil that Ritchie will no longer lx- the cham
pion de luxe in Idleness that lie now is.
I mild) Dun Morgan, who is helmsman on the British ship, was in the
city the other day on his way to New York, and had a few lively things to
say about the lightweight situation. A young mail named Bud Anderson
cleared the air pretty well for Morgan by removing one of Dan’s lighters
from serious consideration as a champion. Said Bud knocked out Knock
out Brown In hurricane style, and now Dan has only the one lightweight
to give him any concern. But Dan can make just as much noise and ad
vance Just as many arguments over one star as he can over two: so, as
far as,Dan is concerned, it really doesn’t make a great deal <<f difference
about the Kayo’s defeat.
Ritchie Must Meet Britton.
“Ritchie simply has got to pay attention to Britton now. and within a
couple of weeks we will Is- oil our way to l,os Angeles to force him into a
match out there,” spake the word miser from New York. “They told me
in I,os Angeles just liefore 1 left flint If I didn’t return within a month
with Britton, they would know then that I wasn’t sincere in wanting a
battle with Ritchie. So what can we do hut go right out there and try to
force the Issue? Ritchie must light, and Britton is the card on the coast.
That is why I am feeling quite complacent about the matter, and can see
a match in sight right now. Nolan cannot keep Ritchie bottled up ami
cart him around the country in a glass case any longer.
“Britton lias done everything that has tieen asked of him in the last
year. Excepting the l’aekey McFarland light, where lie met a welter
weight, Jack has whlp|»sl them all, and that entitles him to a chance at
the title. He can make 133 pounds at the ringside and tight well. Tie can
make It easier than Ritchie can, ami I am willing to hel on it. So you can
safely jot back down as the l«‘s( lightweight bet of the day right now.
Brown Clears $120,000.
"Because lie wanted to take a rest, 1 seal Brown back home. The kid
lms cleared up $120,(MX) since I’y had him. and it is a record that I am
proud of. He is well llxed, and doesn’t have to worry at all. Sorry that
some of the coin doesn’t cling to me. hut somehow I cannot make it stick.
Britton also is pretty fat liimnclally. He has something like $50,000
scattered around the country in different hanks. Just tldnk of it, he has
had thirty lights in the last eight nuwiths! That’s going some, eh? And
liecause lie didn’t knock Pal Moore’s head off In Philadelphia the other
night they accuse ldin of faking! i think after I have had a chance to
talk with tlie board of safety there that 1 can gel the ban lifted on him.
Anderson Not Inexperienced.
‘•This Anderson hoy that licked Brown is not an inexperienced hand,
11c Is about 1Y> years old, and has been lighting six or seven years, lie
stands and waits for a man to come to him. and Ihcn chops down on the
Jaw w ith funny little hooks that arc mighty dangerous. He will be a good
man when he learns more about the real championship stuff. If Mandot
isn't ip tlie liest of shape. Bud Is apt to ttatten Joe just as he did Brown.
Also, I saw this McAllister fellow tight out there. Brent man, too, and
lie’ll he a heavyweight some day. Take St from me. he can fight."

G REAT preparations are under
wav for the first series of the
Tech-Georgia baseball games
it Athens on Friday and Saturday of
this week.
At Tech Plata yesterday morning a
monster demonstration of the ever
lasting. never-say-dle spirit was
made at chapel when all the students
signified their intention of attending
the Saturday game.
A special train will be chartered
and with the hand, the trip to Ath
ens will be made at 11 o'clock. Stu-
d. nt.«» will be excused from classes on
this special occasion, and Athens will
bo virtually overrun with the Yellow
Jackets. A goodly number will leave
‘ on Friday to be on hand for the Fri
day game.
Jackets Going Strong.
The Jackets wore given a stiff
workout yesterday afternoon and
showed up well after their struggh}
with Seva nee on Saturday. The reg
ular varsity lino-up was piaved, with
the exception of K. Montague, whose
place at the second sack Is ably taken
rare of by Captain F, Montague.
Pitts, the Jackets’ southpaw', had a
good workout and showed up well.
Ho will doubtless get a chance either
Friday or Saturday to prove his
worth. He is steady, has plenty M
speed and is a strong batter, which
is something unusual for a pitcher.
If not on the mound, he will probably
gather them up In right field, and he
1 can do that, too.
Dope Doesn't Count Here.
A comparison or even a near-com-
parison of any sort of a Tech-Georgia
game is not worth the ink It would
take to prim it, and base-ball is no
exception. All previous dope, luck,
material and general all-round play
ing are cast to the four winds before
the schedule of these games Is even
: made up.
However, this year Georgia has the
only advantage in having played and
won more games, while Tech has only
won the series from Sewanee and
Clemson, with single games from
Mercer and Auburn. Georgia has won
from all these, coupled with wins
from other teams and r long, hard
knock on the road which abounded in
experience. Naturally, this fills the
lads from Athens with confidence.
Already touted as the Southern cham
pions. they are anxious to keep up the
name, and this they will try to do
aaginst the Jackets. They have every
thing to lose, while the Techs have
nothing.
Since the Alabama games the Jack-
. ets have been fighting harder and
stronger than ever before, and rt
present are showing the goods. Their
batting, base running and general all
round playing has developed wonder
fully, and they arc bound to be In
top-notch condition by the first game
: on Friday.
Georgia's Pitchers Strong.
Post-sejkson dope had it that
neither team has pitchers that could
be depended upon. That has been
knocked aside by Corley and Morris,
of the Red and Black aggregation,
who have been pitching good had.
The latter pitched a no-hit game
against Vanderbilt, and Corley also
has pitched jam-up ball all season.
Eubanks has proved himSelf to be
a steady pitcher, ready to go in at
I any pinch. During the Sewante se
ries hr pitched thirteen innings, or
part of two games, allowing but threo
hits. All season he has been keep
ing his opponents' hits well scatter’1
and has not allowed over seven hits
in any game. Pitts is also on the up
grade and can be expected to cut
loose some stuff w hen called on.
GEORGIA TRIUMPHS OVER
WASHINGTON AND LEE, 12-0
ATHENS. CIA . May 6.—Waahimr-
ton and Lee fell before the hands of
the University of Georgia here yes
terday by the score of 12 to 0. The
visitors were in the air at all times
and exhibited the poorest fielding
seen here this season. The Virginians
were able to connect for but two
.•safeties off the delivery of Corley,
while the locals larrupped the bend
ers of Larrick for thirteen bingles.
The features of the game were the
pitching of Corley, the fielding of Mc
Whorter and Erwin and the batting
of Ginn. McWhorter. Hutchens. Bow
den and Erwin.
IRA DAVENPORT TO RETIRE.

I Sporting Food
! By GEORGE E. PHAIR i
.4 mother v an weeping.
Her hahp tens ulccpiiiy.
It* father, the villain, had fled from
the fold.
As daylight was waning
She sat there complaining
And wept as she sate all the victuals
grow cold.
Far out on the bleachers,
With joy on his features.
The father was lifting his voice to
the sky.
The poor mother's wailing
Was all unavailing.
For how could he leave when the
score was a tiet
Per»«verance wins In all walks of life.
If the Lookouts keep on playing they
may some day win a couple of ball
games.
There are various things which cause
persons to laugh, one of which Is a
verbal agreement between two baseball
magnates.
Ty Cobb's life is rendered all the
more joyous by the fact that his con
tract does not bind him to read the
baseball dope over which he signs his
name.
Charley Frank does not state what
form of athletics he pursued while at
college, but we presume he was a mem
ber of the tank team.
As we understand It, the mutual es
teem between Messrs. Charles Frank
and Bill Smith Is bo great that they
could strangle each other at a moment's
notice.
We note by the papers that Luther
McCarty and Arthur Pelky are matched
to do battle In Calgary. In some circles
it is rumored that they are pugilists.
If It be true that Gotch and Zbyszko
will meet In one of Chicago's baseball
parks, we are unanimously In favor of
Investigating the baseball trust.
The baseball season was inaugurated
In Paris with a score of 22 to 16, indi
cating that there are futurists in base
ball as well as in art.
THE NATIONAL COMMISH.
It was a heinous crime, they thought,
when Tyrus Raymond Cobb
Demanded several chunks of dough
for working at his job.
And so they fined him fifty bones arid
put him on the pan,
A horrible example for the others of
his clan.
But when a magnate boosts the price
of seats by yonder fence,
Where fans can get a bird's-eye view
by paying 50 cents—
Said magnate breaks a baseball law,
but does he pay a fine.
'Tush! Tush!" they say. “Don't bother
us. Bring in a rase of wive!"
In view of the recent work of Mr.
Chance’s athletes, we san say without
fear of successful contradiction that the
Bermuda onion will not be adopted as
the national flower.
Joe Tinker has secured a mortgage
on the services of Johnny Kling, but
by some strange oversight he has neg
lected to sign Adrian C. Anson and BUI
Lange.
Despite the fact that George Bause-
weln is getting down to shape, we fear
that he never will be used as an adver
tisement for anti-fat.
Tommy Burns owns a club, makes the
matches, manages the club’s meal tick
ets and referees the fights Thus we
see that a prizefighter sometimes de
velops into a merger.
Possibly the Mikado will lose some of
that warlike spirit when he learns that
Gunboat Smith is headed for California.
The official scorer In Detroit is unani
mously in favor of an upward revision
of Ty Cobb's batting average.
COWEE DEFEATS MOTT
IN EAST LAKE FINALS
The results of the three flights in
the vice president's tournament at the
East Lake course, just flniahed, were
as follows:
H. P. D. Cowee defeated C. B. Mott.
5-4. in 36 holes in the first flight. W.
P. Hazelwood won the second flight,
defeating W. F. Spalding. 3-2. Frank
Adair defeated W. F. Upshaw, 4-3, in
the third flight.
The second and third flights were
only 18 holes Cowee was never over
85 in any of his matches. Frank
Adair was 82 in his match with Up
shaw.
MALONEY GETS JOB
MOBILE, ALA.. May 6—Outfielder
Maloney, let oat by Manager Finn, has
been signed by Fort Worth of the Texas
League
A THENS, GA., May 6.--For one
time duping the many years
that Tech and Georgia have
met in battle for athletic supremacy
there is a feeling of confidence in the
Bed and Black camp that Georgia
will take the series from (he Yellow
Jackets this season, and should do it
handily. Although such a feeling as
this pervades the entire atmosphere
around the Classic City it does not
mean that Cunningham and his slug
gers are going into the series over
confident.
That old story of upset dope is lia
ble to be called in to make explana
tions after most any old game w r hen
Georgia and Tech are contenders, yet
there is even money here that Geor
gia will make a clean sweep of the
four games.
The Red and Black team will miss
the services of Covington on third
base, as he has been the sensation of
two seasons at this corner and pos
sesses one of the best baseball heads
and batting eyes on the squad. Hol
den, captain of the scrubs, lias filled
tlie place creditably in the most se
ries. but is woefully weak with the
stick, and his inexperience on foreign
territory will be a point in favor
of the Jackets, who usually want to
swarm and buzz very evidently on
the third base line.
Henderson May Play Third.
Henderson has about recovered
from his case of mumps, and Cun
ningham has announced that he will
give him a try-out in Covington’s old
place. Since Bowden has gone to first
he has been leading the team in bat
ting, and the placing of Henderson
on third wall give him another effec
tive hitter, especially against Tech’s
southpaw. “Tiny” has fattened his
average against every left-hander he
has faced this season.
If the Georgia men can keep up
their wonderful hatting it will ta}<e
great playing to head them off.
Team Hits Terrifically.
Though the twenty games played
to the Washington and Lee series,
eight regulars were hatting over .300,
while the average for the entire team
was .310. A total of 222 hits have
been made by the Georgians, which
counted for .137 runs.
Davis, of Auburn, has been the only
Southern pitcher that has been able
to halfway stop the terrific slugging
of McWhorter’s “Southern Champs,”
as they are now being called by loyal
Georgians far and near.
Corley will be Cunningham's se
lection on the mound in the opening
game here Friday, while big John
Morris will hurl the second. The
fact that the men of Athens have run
off with every series played is not
allaying any of the spirit, and the
chances are that the largest crowds
that have ever visited Sanford Field
will be on hand for the contests, es
pecially with Saturday a gala day.
COAST ANTI-FIGHT BILL
KILLED AFTER BATTLE
SACRAMENTO, May 6.—The
Brown anti-prize fight bill was killed
by an amendment after a three-hour
fight last night. The vote was 20
to J 7.
The amendment was offered by
Juillard, and it merely re-enacts the
present law, with the single change
that it limits boxing contests to twen
ty rounds.
If the Brown bill had passed, the
professional boxing game would have
been crushed in California. It limited
to eight rounds and prohibited more
than a 25-cent admission charge. Only
a $35 trophy to the winner was al
lowed.
DIXON DEFEATS GREELY.
WINNIPEG, May 6.—Tommy Dix
on. of Kansas City, was awarded the
popular decision over Johnny Greely.
of Pittsburg, in a fifteen-round bout
last night.
MDru/Jirr
COLUMN
J IMMY SHECKARD compiled a record in a game last week that
probably never has been duplicated and never will. He went to
bat four times, had 24 balls pitched to him, still never made
a single swing and the Ump had to call every pitch.
In the first with three on, Jim had two successive strikes call
ed on him, and then waited for four successive balls, forcing Hug
gins home with a run. In the third Jim waited for another 3-2
count and then was called out on a strike that easily was 6 inches
on the inside.
And It was the same in the sixth the News Services checked up and
and seventh. The two rpached found that It would Tear still more
from Their Appropriations if They
sent out the Stories of the Games
and the Word was given to Forget
the New League.
Learning of all this the Frayed au 1
Ragged Baseball Bosses, who had be
come Horny Handed through dealing
out the Kale necessary to provide
Entertainment for the Beloved Fa
natics, rejoiced because Popular Ap
proval had been Withheld, and One
who would have become a Brothet
to Them had been Forced to keep
his Money.
Moral:—One has a fine, fat chance
to pry his way into organized base
ball.
LAGRANGE TO CELEBRATE
OPENING OF BALL SEASON
Lagrange, GA., May 6.—Mayor J.
D. Edmundson and President E. B.
Clark, of the Chamber of Commerce,
have Issued proclamations calling
upon the business houses of the city
to close Thursday afternoon at 2
o’clock in order that all who desire
may attend the opening game of tha
season between Newnan and La-
Grange.
La Grange will endeavor to have a
record breaking attendance on that
occa sion.
3-2, when Camnitz dished up wide
ones on each occasion and Sheckard
walked, getting three free passes to
first, a .strike-out, 24 balls pitched
to him and without swinging at a
single one.

was Room for Another to starve in

Staking Himself to a Handful ot

Routes He took a load off his Feet,
and a brief Half Hour with the Pen

There would be no White Slaves in

the End of a Season the Performers
could go out and get Jobs with other
