Mobile team, secured his early
baseball training under the tutelage
of a former popular Southern League
player, Dick Crozier, who covered the
outfield at different times for Little
Rock and Atlanta, was the man who
taught Robertson the first rudiments
of the game.
Robertson, who is a native of
Portsmouth Va., attended the Uni
versity at Rocky Mount, where Dick
t rosier taught the young steps how
est to perfect their athletic abili
ties. Under Crozier's w atchful coach
ing the Virginian showed remarkable
athletic prowess especially in base
ball.
When the Tide Water Teague wif
started in a spirit of pique to put the
Virginia League out of business, Rob
ertson ‘ned the Elizabeth City tea: »,
which w. •» a member of the outlaw
Tide Water League. He soon was ac
knowledged the best pitcher in tint
organization. Opposing clubs wore
lucky when they made a run off him.
On account of his wonderful hitting
he was used in the outfield hnd at
first base when not pitching.
Charlie Babb, the ex-Memphis man
ager, was managing Norfolk in the
Virginia League, at that time, and
tried to secure Robertson but was un I
able to land the big pitcher In fact,
every manager in the Virginia League
tried to seize Robertson, but he was
loyal to the Tide Water. Robertson
was a free «eent at the time, as the
Tide Water was not recognized by or
ganized hall.
Scouts After Robertson.
In a short time Norfolk was b
gleged by scouts of almost all the in.,
Jor league Hubs in the country.
Detroit especially made Robertson
flattering offers and Bobby Rother-
mel, their scout, took another pitcher
named Stafford, from the same tea in,
but could not induce Dave to sign.
The more offers that were turned
down by Robertson only made the
major league Hubs he more anxious
to secure him.
Mike Finn, at present in charge of
the Mobile team, was at that time a
scout for the New- York club. Dick
Crozier, 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
In Finn securing the young PorN
mouth lad’s signature to a piece of
paper that bound him to the New’
•York team
Robertson practiced a little of Ty
Cobb’s stuff on McGraw’s club by de
manding a bonus of $1,200 for signing
and was not to report until the 15th
of June. 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 Hit Arm.
Robertson’s arm while pitching In
the Tide Water League whs as free
as the wing of Rube Waddell in his
palmy days. But sad to relate, Rob
ertson injured bis left shoulder In a
football game and was compelled to
throw underhanded ever since. On
account of his superior hitting ability
tMcGraw kept him and was endeav
oring to make a first baseman of him.
He 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 he was given a
clear title to him. which McGraw re
fused to consider. It was a lucky
break for Finn, as the player has
demonstrated here that he can cer
tainly hit the ball and is exceedingly
fast on bis feet.

Morgan Says Coast Wants Britton
By Ed W. Smith.
C HICAGO, ILL., May H. Unless nil signs fail, there will be some lively
fireworks touched off before July 4 under the championship chair in
which Willie Ritchie has such an insecure nont at the present time,
.iaek 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 be something fine doing and that liltchle will no longer be the cham
pion de luxe in Idleness that he now is.
Dumb t>an Morgan, who is helmsman on the British ship, was in the
city the other day on his way to New York, and had a fow lively things to
say about the lightweight situation. A young man named Hud Anderson
cleared the air pretty well for Morgan by removing one of Man's lighters
from serious consideration ns a champion. Said Hud knocked out Knock
out Brown In hurricane style, and now Man 1ms only the one lightweight
to give him any concern. But Man can make Just as much noise and ad
vance just ns many arguments over one star as he oan over two; so, as
far as Man is concerned, It really doesn’t make a great deal of difference
about the Kayo's defeat.
Ritchie Mult Meet Britton.
"Ritchie simply has got to pay attention to Britton now, and within a
couple of weeks we will lie on our way to Los Angeles to force him into a
match out there,” spake the word miser from New York. "They told me
in Los Angeles just before I left that if 1 didn't return within a month
with Britton, they would know then that I wasn’t sincere in wanting a
battle witli Ritchie. Ho what enn we do but. go right out there and try to
force the Issue? Ritchie must tight, and Britton is the card on the coast.
That is why I am feeling quite complacent about the matter, and can see
n match In sight right now. Nolan cannot keep Ritchie bottled up and
cart him around the country in a glass case any longer.
"Britton has done everything that lias been asked of him in the Iasi
year. Excepting the T'neke.v .McFarland light, where he met a welter
weight, Jack has whipped them all, and that, entitles him to a chance at
tlie title. He can make 1113 pounds at the ringside and fight well. He can
make It easier than Ritchie can, and I am willing to lie! on it. Ho you can
safely jot back down as the lies! lightweight tiet of the day right now.
Brown Clears $120,000.
"Because he wanted to lake a rest, 1 sent Brown back home. The kid
lias cleared up $120,000 since I’ve had him, and it is a record that I am
proud of. Ho is well fixed, and doesn’t have to worry at all. Sorry that
some of the coin doesn't cling to me, but somehow I cannot make it stick.
Britton also is pretty fat financially. He has something like $50,000
scattered around the country in different banks. Just think of it, he has
Imd thirty fights In the last eight months’ That's going some, eh? And
because he didn’t knock I’ai Moore’s head off in Philadelphia the other
night they accuse him of faking'. I think after I have had a chance to
talk with the board of safety there that I can get the ban lifted on him.
Anderson Not Inexperienced.
••Tills Anderson tsiy that licked Brown is not an inexperienced hand.
He is about 2(1 years old, and 1ms Ixs-n fighting six or seven years. He
stands and waits for a man to come to him, and then chops down on the
jaw with funny little hooks that are mffchty dangerous. He will lie a good
man when he learns more about the real championship stuff. If Mandot
isn’t in the ls>st of shape. Hud Is apt to flatten ,loe just as he did ltrown.
Also. 1 saw this McAllister fellow fight out there. Great man, too, and
lie’ll lie a heavyweight some day. Take it from me, tie can fight.”

G REAT preparations are under
way for the first series of the
Tech-Georgia baseball games
at Athens on Friday and Saturday of
this week.
At Tech Flats 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 band, the trip to Ath
ens will be made at 11 o’clock. Stu
dents will be excused from classes on
this special occasion, and Athens will
be 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 were given a stiff
workout yesterday afternoon and
showed up well after their struggle
with Sew a nee on Saturday. The reg
ular varsity line-up was played, wPh
the exception of E. Montague, whose
place at the second sack is ably taken
care of by Captain F. Montague.
Pitts, the Jackets’ southpaw, had a
good workout and showed up well.
He will doubtless get a chance either
Friday or Saturday to prove his
worth. He is steady, has plenty .if
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
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 print it, and baseball is na
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 oniv
won the series from Sewanee and
Cletnson, with single games from
Mercer and Auburn. Georgia has won
from all these, coupled with wins
from other teams and a long, hard
knock on the road which abounded in
experience. Naturallv. 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
j nothing.
Since the Alabama games the Jack-
1 ets have been fighting harder and
stronger than ever before, and ri.
present are showing the goods. Their
batting, base running and general all
round playing has developed wonder
fully. and they are bound to be in
top-notch condition by the first game
[ on Friday.
Georgia’s Pitchers Strong.
Post-season dope had it that
neither team has pitchers that cou;d
be depended upon. That has been
knocked aside by Corley and Morris,
of the Red and Black aggregation,
who have been pitching good bad.
The latter pitched a no-hit- game
against Vanderbilt, and Corley al-o
has pitched jam-up ball all season.
Eubanks has proved himself to be
a steady pitcher, ready to go in at
any pinch. During the Sewanee se
ries he pitched thirteen innings, or
part of two games, allowing but three
hits. All season he has been keep
ing his opponents’ hits well scatter:d
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 when called on.
GEORGIA TRIUMPHS OVER
; WASHINGTON AND LEE, 12-0
ATHENS, GA . May 6 —Washing
ton anti I^ee 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 Corle; .
while the locals larrupped the bend
ers of I.arrick 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.
~By GEORGE E. PHAIR
A mother was weeping,
Her baby was sleeping,
Its father, the villain, had fled from
the fold.
As daylight was waning
She sat there complaining
And wept as she saw gll the victuals
grov; cold.
Par 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
Perseverance wins In all walks of life.
If the Lookouts keep on playing they
may tome 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 Cobbs life Is rendered all the
more joyoes 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 so 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 and
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 docs hr pay a fine.
’Tush! Tush!” they say. “Don’t bother
us. Bring in a ease of wine!”
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 Ivling. but
by some strange oversight he has neg
lected to sign Adrian C. Anson and Bill
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 tights. 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.
C 0W EE DEFEATS MOTT
IN EAST LAKE FINALS
The results of the three flights in
the vice president’s tournament at the
East Lake course, just finished, 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.
A THENS, GA., May 6.- For one
time during the many years
that Tech and Georgia have
met in battle for athletic supremacy
there is a feeling of confidence in the
Red and Black camp that Georgia
will take the series from the 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 when
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 pf the scrubs, has filled
the 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 will 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.
Tf the Georgia men can keep up
their wonderful batting it will take
great playing to head them off.
Team Hits Terrifically.
Though the twenty games played
to the Washington and Lee series,
eight regulars were batting 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 w r ill 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 li—The
Brown anti-prize fight bill was killed
by an amendment after a three-hour
fight last night. The vote was 20
to 17.
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-rent admission charge. Only
a $35 trophy to the winner was al
lowed.

J IMMY SIIECKAHJD 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 mil
and seventh. The two reached found that it would Tear still n
3-2, when Oamnitz 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.
O NCE upon a Time a Promoter
grew Tired of standing on the
Side Lines and Rubbering while Oth
ers sen: their Treasurers to the
Banks with Gate Receipts, and after
having a Ghat with Himself He de
rided that he would Tear the Velvet
off his Antlers an-l'feorn into the Di
vision of the Spoils. Despite the Pro
tests of the Frayed and Ragged Mag
nates He got the Hunch that there,
was Room for Another to starve in
the Baseball World.
Staking Himself to a Handful o!
Schedules and a Cluster of Railroad
Routes He took a load off his Feet,
and a brief Half Hour with the Pen

Towns that were Starving for the
National Game. Able to read, He
was Hep to all of the Stuff that was
Annoying to the Expert Scribes and
the Common Run of Fanatics, and
being Anxious to Please he Framed
up the Nifty Stunt of cutting It all
out.
There would be no White Slaves tn
his Grand Aggregation. The Reserve
Clause would be Sidestepped, and at
the End of a Season the Performers
could go out and get Jobs with other
Teams or with the Street Cleaning
Department At the Swell Beaneries
the Rube Performers would be
taught how to Stab Peas and other
Rolling Food with a F6rk, Tango
Dancing would be made a Cinch foi
Them to Fritter away Their Hours

Real Seats would be Held when Re
served, and Gun Men Ushers would
be barred from the Ball Yards. If
there was Anything left undone the
Fanatics would always find the Man
agement willing to Remedy the De
