INJURED 111 GIVES HUE W4r SILK HAT HARRY’S DIVORCE SUIT • • • • Never Pull a Joke on the Jokers Oopyright, 1913. by the Star Company. ;; By Tad D By . AVE ROB ark SRTS( it field uaw. >N, who Is cov- for Mike Finn’s •ring rig 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. SEATS SOLD FOR CHANCE DAY. UHICAGO. May 6. -Every reserved Beat in the White Sox park has be n sold for May 1» which Chicago fans have set aside as "Frank Chance Day.” * Rheumatic Blood is Whole S'ory Many Stars After Ritchie’s Title 0 © © O © O O 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.” ILL TECH WILL CO TO ATHENS BASEBALL S UMMARIES.

C. 2 N C A. and M 6, Guilford 1 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. DIXON DEFEATS GREELY. WINNIPEG.

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.
