G REAT preparations are under way for the first scries of the Tech-Georgia baseball games at Athens on Friday and Saturday of this week. At Tech Flats yesterday morning .* 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 trio 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 Sewanee on Saturday. The reg ular varsity line-up was played, with 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 of 1 speed and is a strong batter, which is something unusual for a pitcher, ff 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 ni exception. All previous rlope, luck, material and general all-round play ing are cast to the four winds before i 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 omv 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 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 nothing. Since the Alabama Tames 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 are bound to be in | top-notch condition by the first game j 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 ba'l. 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 any pinch. During Hie 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 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 oaJled on. MOTWJirr ^COLUMN* A LAGRANGE TO CELEBRATE OPENING OF BALL SEASON La ORANGE, 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 3 o’clock In order that all who desire may attend the opening game of the season between Newnan and La- Grange.

THE NS, 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 i 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 beads 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. If the Georgia men can keep up their w r onderful 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 McW r horter’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 i#i 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 w’ith Saturday a gala day. TIMMY SIIECKARD compiled a record in a game lafet 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 and seventh. The two reached 3-2, when Carnnitz 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 sent their Treasurers to the Banks with .Gate Receipts, and after having a Cnat with Himself He de cided that he would Tear the Velvet off his Antlers and Hj>rn 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 ot Schedules and a Cluster of Railroad Routes He took a load off his Feet, and a brief Half Hour with the Pen cil and Slate gave him a List of 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 in 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 Fork. Tango Dancing would be made a Cinch for Them to Fritter away Their Hours of Leisure, and ao< for the Fanatics, 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 thu Fanatics would always find the Man agement willing to Remedy the De fects. All in All, the Promoter haul a Grand Little Idea, and then He pre pared to get Busy.
