PLAY ILL IT
By W. R. Tichenor.
B irmingham, ala.. May 9.—
George C. Oliver, of Birming
ham, won the low medal score
in the qualifying round of the Invi
tation tournament held over the
cour.se of the Birmingham Country-
Club.
In the first round Oliver and F.
C. Stahlman, of Nashville, tied with
seventy-fours. In the play off in the
afternoon Oliver again did seventy-
four, beating Stahlman by four
strokes.
Smith Cullutn, of Birmingham, had
a fine chance to win the low score
prize, as he was on the eighteenth
green within ten feet of the cup with
fcwo putts for a seventy-three. He
'^vas short on his first, was over with
his second and then missed an easy
one, which would have put him in the
tie.
Captain E. T. Winston led the
Atlanta golfers with a seventy-seven.
He was fifty. Howry Arnold did a
seventy-nine and yours truly did an
eighty, w-hich puts three Atlanta play
ers In the first flight.
F. G. Byrd and G. W. Adair did
eighty-four and qualified in the sec
ond flight. D. Brown and C. J. Hol-
ditch qualified In. the third flight and
are drawn against each other for the
first match Friday morning.
Walton Griffith also qualified in the
third flight, as did C. E. Corwin. R.
P. Jones and T. B. Paine qualified in
the fourth flight. Dr. Frank Holland
found lots of trouble on his round
and qualified in the fifth flight.
Players from New Orleans, Chat
tanooga, Nashville, Montgomery and
Atlanta are in attendance. The course
is In good shape and many low
scores are likely to be made in the
matches to be played-.
AUBURN DOWNS CLEM SON IN
FIRST GAME; SCORE 9 TO 3
AUBURN, ALA., May 9.-7With
Davis on the mound twirling sensa
tional ball, Auburn won the first game
of the series from Clemson here by
a score of 9 to 3.
Ezell, Clemson’s premier pitcher,
started w’ith a rush, pitching no-run,
no-hit ball until the fifth inning,
striking out ten out of the first sev
enteen men before him. He weak
ened in the sixth and the Auburn
team scored three runs by bunching
a single and two two-base hits with-
an error.
With the score tied in the sixth in
ning Auburn went ahead in the sev
enth. scoring two runs on a hit and a
wild throw to second.
In order to cinch the game in the
eighth Harris singled, Davenport fol
lowed with an infield hit, but Harris
was thrown out overrunning third.
Locke was safe on a muff by Oorator,
and Davenport scored on Williams’
two-bagger; Graydon hit safely, scor
ing Locke and Williams, and scored
a ninth run later on Louiselle’s drive
on second.

Crackers' First Baseman.
M ontgomery, ala.. May 9.—
The Crackers finally broke
their losing streak yesterday
and now hope to win a number of
successive games. The boys played
great ball yesterday and showed more
clash and vim than they displayed in
their last four games put together.
The final score was: Crackers. 7;
Blllikens, 3.
Long and Smith divided the honors
of the day, although Gilbert Price
twirled good ball. The former pair
pounded out home runs and helped
pile up runs to our credit.
I look for Bill Smith to send “Buck”
Weaver to the slab this afternoon,
with Graham ' catching. The latter
has had a long rest and should show
some of his old stuff. Manager Dobbs
is in a hard way for pitchers and is
ttying to secure Becker from us. He
could use him now, as he has no port-
side pitcher on his staff. Dobbs said
this morning that he did not know
whom he would use against us this
afternoon.
‘‘Big Bill” Chappelle Joined us yes
terday and looks fit and ready to go
in and win ball games for the Crack
ers. We also expect Harry Bailey to
be with us soon. His ankle is com
ing around fast now, and he should be
in the game any day now.
The Billikens are without their star
pitcher, E. Brown. He is on the sic a ;
list, and it looks as if it will be some
time before he will be able to don a
uniform. Snyder, who twirled against
us yesterday, is but a youngster and (
needs more experience.
GOTCH AND ZBYSZKO MAY
MEET ON MAT IN GOTHAM
NEW YORK, May 9.—Plans were
laid here to-day for the Frank Gotch-
etanislaus Zbyszko championship
wrestling match here, and the syn
dicate that is back of the proposed
plan is almost certain to land th<-
clash. It became known here that
Gotch has practically given his con- .
sent to such a meeting, and Man
ager Herman, who guides the affairs *
of the Pole, is only too anxious to
accept. A purse of $26,000 has been
offered for the battle.

N EW YORK. May 9.—Things have not chaiiwxl grout ly in the American League this week,
except that the Washington club is holding up with a persistence that makes it look
like a strong contender for the flag. Johnson is pitching wonderful hall, the lx'st of Ids
career. The Athletic* and Red Sox are alarmed.
“I thought he was good last year,” an American League player told me the other day in
discussing Johnson, “but I never saw anything like the way he is traveling this season. lie
has gone forty-two Innings without being scored on. and the chances are he will go forty-two
more. He has everything in the world, aud his fast ball 1ms the speed of a bullet and the worst jump or the
best I ever looked at. It depends upon the point of view whether it is the liest or worst, it looked like the
worst to me. because I was batting against him. He has been calling what he intends to throw against opposing
batters. He did this repeatedly in the series with the Yankees.
“ ‘Look out,’ he would say
Here
comes a fast one.'
“Then he would shoot up the ball
with the old jump on it. And the
batter missed it just as widely as if
he had no notion of the prescription.
That is going some when the pitch
er can tip the batter off to his stuff
and get away with it.
(I’T’HK Washington team is
A of dash and gin
full
ginger, and is
playing fast ball. They will give the
Athletics a great light, but I do not
expect to see the Senators hold the
pace they are setting now.’’
That is the opinion of a veteran
American Leaguer, who did not
want his name mentioned.
After pitching in Philadelphia on
Saturday and losing because Cra-
vath, who is hitting very hard this
season, pumped a home run into the
bleachers, I returned to New York
on Sunday and met “Eddie" Col
lins, the second baseman of the Ath
letics, with whom I have been ac
quainted for some time.
"How does the race look in the
American League?” I asked him,
“talking shop” as usual.
“The Washington club is the one
we’ve got to beat, and I think we
can do it," he said. “They are car
rying lots of ‘pep’ now, but the sup
ply won't last through the season.
The boys are bound to slow down.
If anything should happen to John
son, they are gone, because he is
carrying the club. Besides Johnson,
Hughes is the only other pitcher we
have had a look at so far. Groom
seems to be traveling along pretty
well, judging from the scores against
other clubs. Cashion Is too wlltf
right now to be of much value. The
rest of the team looks good, with
every man playing at his best at
present. Let them hit a little slump,
however, and It is going to take a
lot of the pepper out of them.”
• * *
(ITT OW about the Athletics?”
iT “We’re In pretty fair shape.
Our pitching department caused the
most ante-season fretting. Plank is
going fine, and Bender seems to be
rounding into form now. Coombs is
the member of the veteran trio who
is to the bad. He is laid up in bed
in Philadelphia with a high fever,
and I don’t know what is the mat
ter with him. He has some kind of
fever, and hts temperature has been
up around 104 for several days.
John has never been right since
that time he hurt himself in the
world’s series with the Giants. His
health has been bad, and during that
rainy spell when we were in Wash
ington he was taken ill and had to
be sent home. It Is problematical
whether he will be in any kind of
shape before the middle of the sum
mer. 'Connie' is worried about him.
<< \ LL the young pitchers look
-lx pretty good, and we are
bound to get at least one man from
the Hock to help out. Bender aud
Plank. Houck has been twirling
good ball so far, and the other
squabs have the ability, but get
nervous when the game becomes
tight. They will outgrow this. The
club is hitting the ball hard, and
playing together well. So far we
have not had any injured players
outside of Coombs’ illness; but let
me touch wood, quick."
A good line on the strength of the
teams In each league can he drawn
when the present intersectional se
ries is completed. That is what al
ways tells on the clubs—the long
trips away from home.

S T. LOUIS, May 9.—Leach Cross,
of New York, hero of many ring
battles, gave Harry Trendali,
St. Louis' best lightweight, a sound
beating in the feature battle at the
Coliseum last night, only to have Ref
eree Harry Sharpe hand the verdict iO
the home boy.
The best that even Trends!!'*, o\v n
friends looked for was a draw, and
the round by round notes taken by
experts showed Cross had a good
margin.
Trendali left the ring a. badly
marked up man. both ns to his t i e
and body, while Cross went to hi:
dressing room without a scratch.
FODDER FOR FANS
Johnson, the Indian pitching recruit
of the Reds. looks like one of the best
pitching finds in recent years. He’s
won all of the Rede’ five victories.
* * •
Everybody laughed at Charley Eb-
bets last winter when he built a base
ball plant with a capacity of 35,000. And
now Ebbets is laughing at the erst
while laughers. If the Dodgers keep
up their winning streak, Ebbets will
have to enlarge his park.

The Dodgers, by beating the Cubs
yesterday, are now within 9 points of
second place and 25 points of first place.

The White Sox jumped all over the
Senators' pitchers yesterday and romped
home easy winners.

The Jowly Braves bumped the Pirates
again yesterday and the Pittsburg fans

enough to give them a victory

A great batting rally In the ninth I
enabled the Cardinals to snatch a 5 to

The major league baseball season to
date has furnished some big surprises.
In the National league the (Hants and
1'lratc.H were doped to fight it out for
first place all the way. Instead, they
are wallowing around in the second divi
sion, and the Cardinals and Dodgers,
who were accorded cellar places, are
within a few points of first place.
• * *
In the American, the Boston Red Sox
were expected to repeat All the dope-
sters treated them to a flying start.
However, the Boston boys are fur down
in the second division and the Naps and
White Sox, who wereift figured to have
a look* in. are snugly ensconced in first
division places, within hailing distance
of the leading Athletics.

But the season is still young
WHITE AND BRITTON BOUT
WANTED BY G0THAN CLUB
CHICAGO. May 9.—A Charlie
White-Jack Britton match now Is
likely. It w'ould be a certainty but
for the fact that the local feather
weight is matched to battle Joe
Thomas, of New Orleans, In a return
go in the latter’s city on May 19.
Nate Lewis, who guides' the pugilistic
destinies of White, to-day received a
wire from Gil Boag, of the Forty-fifth
Avenue Athletic Club in New York,
offering him May 20 as the date for u
match between White and Britton.
The terms are perfectly satisfac
tory to Lewis and nothing is more
pleasing to him than to land such a
battle, but he must go through with
the Southern battle. Lewi* lost no
time in answering Boag, in the hope
of securing a later date.
JOHNSON WITHIN THREE
INNINGS OF A RECORD
CHICAGO, May 9.—Walter Johnson
needs to pitch only three more score
less innings to excel Jack Coombs’
great 1910 record of 46 successive
rimless rounds. Johnson went to En
gel’s rescue Monday against Boston
and blanked the Red Sox for five
stanzas, while his helpmates were
able to score two runs and win in
the twelfth round.
Johnson has not yielded an earned
run this season, although he was
scored on his first inning out.
