L
PLAY ILL IT
By W. R. Tiehenor.
B irmingham. ala., May 9.—
Georg* C. Oliver, of Birming
ham, won the low medal score
in the qualifying round of the invi
tation tournament held over the
oourme 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 Oltver again did seventy-
four, beating Stahlman by four
strokes.
Smith Cullum, of Birmingham, had
a fine chance to win the low score
prise, as he was on the eighteenth
green within ten feet of the cup with
two putts for a seventy-three. He
was short on his first, was over with
his second and then missed an easy
one, which would have put him In the
tie.
Captain JE. T. Winston led the
Atlanta golfers with a seventy-seven.
He was fifty. Lowry Arnold did a
seventy-nine and yours truly did an
eighty, which 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 DOWNSCLEMSON IN
FIRST GAME; SCORE 9 TO 3
AUBURN, ALA., May 9.—With
Davis on the mound twirling sensa
tional ball. Auburn won the first game
of the series from Clemson here by

OTTO JORDAN MAKES A BIG
HIT WITH VALDOSTA FANS
VALDOSTA, GA„ May 9.—Otto
.Iordan made good here with a ven
geance Thursday. Valdosta fans
never saw such pepper as the locals
displayed, with the old Atlanta second
baseman cavorting around the key
stone sack. Otto played an error
less game, got two hits, stole a base
and scored a run.
Heretofore the locals have been in
different. but Otto swears that he
will "can” the first man he thinks is
loafing.
Ferris. th,e new first baseman
brought here by Jordan. looks good.
Valdosta business men will back the
new manager to the limit, and if
players of championship caliber are
available the money Is here to pur
chase them.

By Joe Agler.
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
dash and vim than they displayed in
their last four games put together.
The final score was: Crackers. 7;
Billikens. 3.
Long and Smthi 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
trying to secure Becker from us. He
could use him now. as ho has no port-
side pitcher on his staff. Dobbs sai l j
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 1
In and win ball games for the Crack
ers. We also expect Harry Bailey to ;
b»- 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 sta: J
pitcher, E. Brown. He is on the sicK
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 j
needs more experience.

BfG LIAGUI GOSSIP
N EW YORK. May !). Thtmcs have not changed greatly 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 ball, the l>est of Ills
career. The Athletics and Red Sox are alarmed.
”1 thought he was good last year,” an American League player told me the other day In
discussing Johnson, "but 1 never saw anything like the way he ts traveling this season. He
has gone forty-two innings without l>elng scored on. ami the chances are he will go forty-two
more. He has everything in the world, and his fast ball bas 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 best or worst. It looked like the
worst to me, liecause I was batting against him. He has been calling what tie Intends to throw against opposing
batters. He did tills repeatedly in the series with the Yankees.
“ Look out,’ he would say. Here
comes a fast one.’
"Then he would shoot up the hall
with the old jump on it. And the
batter missed it just as widely as if
he had no nolion of file prescription.
That is going some when (he pitch
er can tip the hatter off to his’stuff
and get away with it.
*< r T' HE Washington
A of
team is full
<f dash and ginger, and is
playing fast ball. They will give the
Athletics a great fight, but 1 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 nis 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. I he 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?" 1 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, hut the sup
ply won’t last through the season.
The boys are hound 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 wild
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."
* * *
KTTOW about the Athletics?"
I I •• 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 his temperature has been
up around 104 for several days.
John has never been right since* “"£j d ““ of "coombs’ illness; but' let
<< \ Ll the young pitchers look
pretty good, and -we are
bound to get at least one man from
the flock to help out Bender and
Plank. Houck has been twirling
good ball so far. and the other
squabs have the ability, hut 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 hud any Injured players
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 lvind of
shape before the middle of the sum
mer. ‘Connie’ Is worried about hint.

A good line on the strength of the
teams in each league can he drawn
when the present intersectional se
ries ts completed. That is what al
ways tells on the clubs—the long
trips away from home

paper Syndicate.)
FODDER FOR FANS
Johnson, tlie Indian pitching recruit
of the Reds, looks like one of the best
pitching finds in recent years. He's
won all of the Reds’ five victories.
* ■* *
Everybody laughed at Charley Eb-
betts 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 Cuba
yesterday, are now within 9 points of
second place and 25 points of first place.
* • * *
The White Sox Jumped all over thp
Senators’ pitchers yesterday and romped
home easy winners
• • •
'I’be lowly Braves bumped the Pirates
again yesterday and the Pittsburg ions
are wondering just when their pets are
going to stop skidding
* * *
The Athletics’ victory over the Browns
yesterday made the sixth straight win
for the Quakertown athlete#*
* * #
Johnnie Evers, the “Keystone King,
put up a wierd fielding exhibition yes
terca.v, making three errors, two of
which resulted In runs for the Dodgers,
enough to give them a victory.
* • *
A great hatting rally In the ninth
enabled the Cardinals to snatch a 5 to
4 victory from the Phillies.
• * *
The major league baseball season to
date has furnished some big surprises.
In the National League the Giants and
Pirates 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 far down
In the second division and the Naps and
White Sox, who weren’t 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
S T. LOUIS, May Leach Cross,
of New York, hero of many ring
battle*, gave Harry Trendall,
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 to
the home boy.
The best that even Trendall’s own
friends looked for was a draw, and
the round by round notes taken by
experts showed Cross had a good
margin.
Trendall left the ring a badly
marked up man, both as to his* fa. e
and body, while Cross went' to his
dressing room without a scratch.
WHITE AND BRITTON BOUT
WANTED BY G0THAN CLUB
CHICAGO, May 9.—A Charlie
White-Jack Britton match now is
likely. It would 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 guide* 1 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 a
match between White and Britton.
The terms are perfectly satisfac
tory to Lewis and nothing 1s more
pleasing to him than to land such a
battle, but he must go through with
the Southern battle. Lewis lost no
time In answering Boag. in the hope
of securing n later date.
JOHNSON WITHIN THREE
INNINGS OF A RECORD
CHICAGO, May 9.—Walter Johnson
needs to pitch only three more scorn*
less innings to excel Jack Coombi^
great 1910 record of 46 successive
runless 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.
