1 TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.TTEST)AY. MAY fi, 1913. GIVES MOBILE D. By Jack Law. D ave r'obehtsox, who \* to\ ering right field for Mike Finn’ Mobile team, secured his ear! baseball training under the tutelag of a former popular Southern Leagu player. Dick (’rozier, who covered th outfield at different times for Llttl Rock and Atlanta, was the man wh taught Rob«*rtson the first rudiment of the game. Robertson, who is a native of Portsmouth. Va., attended the Uni versity at Rocky Mount, where Dick <’rosier taught the young steps how best to perf<*ct their athletic abili ties. Under Orozier’s watchful coach ing the Virginian showed remarkable athletic prowess especially In base ball. When the Tide Water League w v* started in a spirit of pique to put th Virginia League out of business. Rob ertson jetted the Elizabeth City tea: », which wv ■* a member of the outlaw Tide Water 1-eague. He soon was ac knowledged the best pitcher in that organization. Opposing clubs were lucky when they made a run off him. On account of his wonderful hitting he was used 1n the outfield and 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 able to lamt the big pitcher. In-Ta t, every manager in the Virginia League tried to seize Robertson, but he was loyal to the Tide Water. Robertson was a free agent at the time, as the Tide Water was not recognized by or ganized ball. Scouts After Robertson. In a short time Norfolk was ba- •ieged by .scouts of almost ail the ma jor league clubs in the country. Detroit especially made Robertson flattering offers and Bobby Rotlier- mel, their scout, *ook another pitcher named Stafford, from the same team, but could not induce Davo to sign. The more offers that were turned down by Robertson on.lv made the major league chibs he more anxious to secure him. Mike Finn, at present in charge of the Mobile team. was at that time a scout, for ihe 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 resulte l in Finn securing the young Por's mouth lad's signature to a piece of paper that bound him to the New York team * Robertson practiced n little of Tv Cobb’s stuff on McOraw’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 Dis 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 w.is 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 in throw underhanded ever since. On account of his superior hitting ability MeGraw kept him and was endeav oring to make a first baseman of him. He was offered to one manager of .1 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 Hear title to him. which .MeGraw re fused to consider. It was a lucky break for Finn, as the player his demonstrated here that he can cer tainly hit the ball and \k exceedingly fast on his feet. SEATS SOLD FOR CHANCE DAY. CHICAGO.

Smith. C HICAGO, ILL., May fi. Unions all signs fall, there will lie some lively fireworks touched off before July 4 under the championship chair In whl<-ti Willie Hitehle has such an insecure sen! at Ihe present time. Jack Hritton, of this city, to say nothing of Freddie Welsh, of Kngiand; Tommy Murph.v, of Netc York, and one or two others, are preparing some stunning pyrotechnics, and lielleve when the fireworks are s<>t off there will lie something fine doing imil that Kltelite will no longer be the cham pion de luxe in idleness that he now is. Immli Dan Morgan, who is helmsman on Ihe British ship, was in the dty the other day on his way to New York, and had a few lively things to say a I sin I the lightweight situation. A .voting man named Bud Anderson cleared the air pretty well for Morgan by removing one of Dan’s fighters from serious consideration as a champion. Said Bud knocked out Knock old Brown in hurricane style, and now Dan lias only the one lightweight to give him any concern. But Dan can make just as much noise and ail vanee just as many arguments over one star as he can over two; so, as tar as Dan 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 be on our way to I .os Angeles to force him into a match out there,” spake the word miser from New York. "They told me ill I,os Angeles just before I left that if I didn’t return within a month willi Britton, they would know then that I wasn’t sincere in wanting a Imtti,. with Ritchie. So what can we do but go right oul there and try to force tiie issue’; Ritchie must fight, 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 and cart him around the country in a glass case any longer. ’’Britton lias done everything that has Ims-ii asked of him in the last .\ciir. Fxcepting the I’nekcy McFarland light, where he met a welter weight. Jack lias whipiied them all. and I hut entitles him to a chance at ll„. title, lie can make l.’k’i pounds at the ringside and tight well, lie can make it easier than Ritchie can. and I uni willing to lid on it. So you can safely jot hack down as the best lightweight ind of the day rigid now. Brown Clears $120,000. “Because lie winded to lake a rest, I senl Brown hack home. The kid lias cleared up $120,000 since I've had him, and it is a record that 1 am proud of. He 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 lias something like $50,000 scattered around the country in different luniks. Just think of it. he has had thirt\ lights in the Iasi eight months! That’s going some, eh? And nise lie didn’t knock Pal Moore's head off in Philadelphia the other iiigtit they accuse him of faking!

A. and M. tL Guilford X. G REAT preparations are under way for the first series of the Tech-Georgia base-ball games at Athens on Friday and Saturday of this week. At Tech Flats yesterday morning .* monster demonstration of the ever lasting. never-say-die 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 Ih* 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 Sewanee on Saturday.^ The reg ular varsity line-up was played, with the exception of K. Montague, whose place at the second- sack is a.-blv taken care of by Captain F. Montague. Pitts, the Jackets' southpaw, had a good workout and showed up well. He wflll doubtless get a chance either Friday or Saturday to prove his worth. He Is steady, has plenty of 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 w’orth the ink it would take to print it, and baseball is ns 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 Clem son, 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. Naturally, this tills 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 playink 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 could be depended upon. That has been knocked aside by Corley and Morris, of the Red and Blatvk aggregation, who have been pitching good ball. The latter pitched a no-bit game against Vanderbilt, and Corley alsD has pitched jam-up ball all season Eubanks has proved himself to be a steady pitcher, ready to go in a* any pinch. During the Sewanee se ries be pitched thirteen Innings, or part of two games, allowing but three hits. All season he has been keep ing his opponents’ hits well scattered 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 ami L.ee fell before the hands of the University of Georgia here yes terday by the score of 12 to 0. Tho visitors were in the air at all times and exhibited the poorest fielding seen here this season. The Virginians were able to connect for hut two safeties off the delivery of Corley, while the locals larrupped the bend ers of Larriek 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 i By GEORGE E. PH AIR 1 mother teas weeping. Her baby was sleeping. Its father, the villain, had fled from the fold. Ax daylight u:as leaning She sat there complaining And wept as she saw 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 waiting Was all unavailing, For how could he leave when the score was a tie? Perseverance 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 Cobble 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 so great that they could stRingle 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. Ami so they fined him fifty bones and put him on the pan, A horrible example for the others of his clan. But when a magndte boosts the price of seat4 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 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 Kling, but l*y some strange oversight he has neg lected to sign Adrian C Anson and Bill Lange. Despite the fact that George Bause- wein 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 vre sod 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 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 tile 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 out by Manager Finn, has been signed by Fort Worth of the Texas League. MEN EXPECT TO [ 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 of 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. t 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 moiind 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 H.—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-cent admission charge. Only a $35 trophy to the winner was al lowed. DIXON DEFEATS GREELY.

He went to bat four times, had 24 balls pitched to him, still never made a single swing and the Ump bad 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.
