* THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FAGEW. BROWN A THENS. GA., May 8.—Georgia had its liveliest and most strenuous practice since the season opened yesterday afternoon, and with another one this afternoon everything will be in readiness for the great series to begin Friday. Old grad.s and fans of the Red and Black arc already beginning to gather in the Classic City und by Friday morn ing every chapter house and hotel here will be crowded with visitors who come to Athens annually to see Georgia and Tech fight for suprem acy. •Viore Georgia men than ever before will be on hand this time and they expect to see their alma mater tri umph. To every section of the coun- * try has gone the news of Georgia’s marvelous victories all season, and if there is one thing that a Georgian or Techite longs for it is to see their op ponents swept from the field of battle and no game is ever too one-sided to be uninteresting. Musters m a Southpaw, v V'oach Cunningham mustered in a recruit left-hander for batting prac tice yesterday, in anticipation of ' Pitts. Web Brown, one of the great est pitchers Georgia ever had, an swered to the call of the Red and Black coach. But few southpaws have faced Georgia this season, and whether the bunch can keep up its terrific hitting against Pitts is prob lematical, although he was rather easy last year. Brown steamed ’em over like a reg ular yesterday and had the batters guessing, and if the Yellow Jacket port-sider can buffalo his Red and Black opponents as did the former Georgia captain, he will earn many sheekei for his fellow collegians. Henderson was back at his old stand on first for a part of the work out and still retains his sure batting eye. He broke a couple of bats dur ing the afternoon and was one of the few who could connect safely. “Tiny's” long suit is putting left-hand pitchers to. sfeep and unless his mumps give him the “big head” again he will be scampering around the initial sack when Pitts occupies the mound. Bowden has been leading the team in batting aince he broke into the game a couple of weeks ago, and it Is worrying Cunningham not a little bit as to where to place him when Hen derson goes to first. It’s a cinch, though, that his name will be in the line-up somewhere, and it is more than probable that Henderson will go to third, since there seems to be no hope for Covington to be reinstated. No Umpire Selected Yet. No umpire has been selected for the series yet. though both managers are keeping the wires warm trying to agree. Harris Cope, of Sewanee, was selected, but has declined to serve, and Turner, who has given such per fect satisfaction in past series, is out West. It is preferred that one man to handle the Indicator be agreed on and that the two-player system be not pressed Into service, as it has never worked well with Tech and Georgia. BUCK BECKER MAY SIGN WITH LYNCHBURG CLUB LYNCHBURG, VA„ May 8.—Buck Becker, the Washington lad, who bought his release from Atlanta sev eral days ago, Is now considering a preposition from Manager MacKin non, of the Lynchburg Club in the United States League, It is stated that the salary offered him is larger than that which was paid him in Atlanta. It is believed here that Becker will decide to accept the proposition before the season opens May 10. The locals will be captained by Harry Steinfeldt, formerly of the Chicago Cubs, who has been round ing into shape in Cincinnati for the last several weks. He is expected here to-day. Lynchburg is the only Virginia city in the outlaw League. o Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1913, International N>vm Samoa.

One change will take place in left and the other in the pitching department. * Just at^ present the left garden is being covered by Elberfeld, Harbison, or Gillespie, just as the notion strikes the first named.

Matthews will succeed Matthew Broderick under whose management this team has earned the title of Jonah, having lost a total of fif teen games out of fifteen played since the season opened three weeks ago. By Mike Donahue. A UBURN, May 8.—With the playing of the Clemson series this week Auburn will wind up its baseball schedule for the year. A victory over Clemson would wind up a very satisfactory season. So far tw'elve S. I. A. A. games have been played and of these nine have been won and three lost. What makes Auburn’s record ap pear still better is the fact that nine of these games were played off the campus and seven w*on. These games included series against such strong teams as Mercer, Florida and Geor gia, The Georgians have had a de cided advantage over the other S. I. A. A. teams on the small number of S. I. A. A. games that they have play ed away from home. They have played only three, splitting even with Clemson and beating Tennessee. With Davis again rounding into shape the outlook for a victory over Clemson Is rather favorable. Davis is a hard pitcher to beat and in spite of his crippled condition has lost but one game and has been so far the only pitcher to defeat the Georgia team in Athens. The heavy hitters on the team are Harris, Williams and Loche, all of whom are batting in the neighbor hood of .350. The timeliest batters are Moulton and Davenport. In fact the most remarkable feature of the team’s work has been its ability to send runners around once they got on the bases. And if no one got on then someone would come up and line out a home-run. It is the best scor ing team that Auburn has had in some time. The pitching department has been somewhat uncertain. Davis was not in shape to go a double-header against Georgia at that time of the year and in such cold weather. Davis is an outfielder that is being devel oped into a pitcher and is very short on experience. Loche is in somewhat the same condition and has been bothered by lack of control. It will be Davis against Ezell Thursday. Two other series have been played and won and in one of them, Marion Institute, Auburn played a team that would compare favorably with any of the S. I. A. A. teams. Sporting Food By GEORGE E. PHAIR ticker Day The dug is dark At the baseball park And the office is cold and glum. Ffc stand and gape At the roll of tape A* tee wait for the news to come.

The Giants and Pirates, who were rated to be the two contenders before the season opened, are not doing very much contending just now. Two teams to which little attention was paid at. the beginning of the race are making the pace, and will cause a lot of trouble before the pennant is won. These two are Chicago and Philadelphia, but I look to see them both crack. The Cubs lack the pitching stuff, and the Phillies have the pitching staff, but not the latent strength. Philadelphia, to my mind, a better chance of holding up than Chicago. The Quakers look more formidable this year than they have for several seasons. Three star pitchers keep them stringing along in the race for most of the distance. The infield is good, but not a brilliant The outfield has one great hitter, Sherwood Magee, and the other two men are just fair. But Alexander, We note by the public prints that Johnny Kling Is off to join the Reds. A man must be off, to join the Reds. We have it from Ban Johnson that the American League will not tolerate disorderly conduct. This is a laudable ambition, but will it hold good on fes tive occasions when American League magnates hold meetings? P. S. S.-We have picked the Phillies to win. not by exercising our marvelous brain, but by depositing two (2) dol lars and picking a name out of a hat. If said Phillies do not win it Is not our fault. RED SOX AND NAPS CLASH IN FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT PHILADELPHIA, May 8.—Dan Morgan and Dan McKetrick, mana gers of pugilists, are here to-day making an effort to have the ban in .lack Britton and Pa! Moore, their proteges. lifted. Both fighters are forbidden to reappear in the ring here. They were charged with put- ling up a fake fight. M'ALEER SAYS RED SOX NEED STAHL IN LINE-UP BOSTON, May 8.—Jimmy MoAleer. owner of the Red Sox, to-day de clared that the chances of hi? team winning the pennant were quite im possible with Jake Stahl out of the line-up. Jt will be two or three wee.es before Stahl’s foot will permit his return to the game. CLEVELAND, OHIO, May 8.—Ill- feeling that cropped out between the Red sox and Naps during the play here ended in a free-for-all fight un der the grandstand after yesterday’s contest was over. While no one was seriously hurt, there was quite a little blood spilled, and Tris Speaker was spiked three times during a rough- and-tumble mix-up. An attempt was made to hush the matter and none of the players would talk about it to-day, but the facts leaked out. The trouble began when Carrigan blocked Graney off the plate and knocked him almost unconscious early in the game. This angered the Naps, who no longer are the meek and lowiy players of yore, and they played like fiends after that. White City Park Now Open HOUCK WALLOPS BROWN IN TEN-ROUND FIGHT NEW YORK, May 8.—Leo Houck, of Lancaster, Pa., gave Georg • Knockout Brown, of Chicago, a wal loping for ten rounds at the St. Nich olas Athletic Club last night. Houe.v weighed 162 pounds and Brown two pound* lei*s. Brown’s rough tactics did not meet with the approval of the crowd. Houck was the cleaner punch er. YANKEES RELEASE CATCHER. NEW YORK. May 8.—Thu New York American League club an nounced to-day that Catcher Rob ert Williams has been released to th * Rochester club of the International League. Frank Chance arises to vouchsafe that W alter Johnson is the fastest pitcher In baseball. Mr. Chance evidently has never seen R. Waddell at 3:45 a. m. Jim Corbett thinks well of both Gun* boat Smith and Jess Willard. Hence the one best bet is that both will lose. Possibly Ty Cobb’s batting slump Is due to the fact that he has not ceased laughing at the National Commission. THEM WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS 1 remember, /' remember, The place where once I sat. I paid two bits and 1 could see What l was looking at. A quarter then could get a seat Where you could see them ploy. Two bits to-day will buy a seat ..About a mile away. THIS IS NOT TRUE. A fan enjoyed a baseball game Until a peddler's husky frame Hove into view and queered the same. The rooter saidn “Pray step aside!" “Oh, very wellthe youth replied. The rooter laid him doicn and died. Aside from a chess tournament, It would be hard to find a more strenuous exhibition-of athletics than a conflict be tween Messrs. McGoorty and Clabby. Mc-Gorty and Clabby fought with such abandoned ferocity that they threatened at times to muss each qther’s hair. Still, one is forced to admit that as a manager, Joe Tinker is a great little shortstop. There are various redeeming features about a wrestling match, one of which is that there is no law compelling a citizen to watch one. When the National Commission speaks of ethics, one takes H for granted that none of its members has a split lip. Seaton and Chalmers are fine pitch ers. There should be some changes in the present standing beginning this week, and the teams will straighten put Into something like the order that will mark the finish within a month. When the Western clubs battle with the Easemers that is always a test. Now that the dis astrous series with Philadelphia is off the Giants' schedule, I hope the Quakers will maintain the form dis played by them against us until they meet the Cubs and Pirates. The East and West are better balanced for strength this season than has been the case for years. If anything, the East has a slight edge In the National. It has a distinct one in the American League. A few years ago it was all the other way. • * • T HE two best National League teams in the West are the Pittsburg and Chicago clubs, as usual, even though the Pirates have been performing badly so far. St. Louis has jumped away to a good start, but. it is my notion the team is going to encounter a hope-crusher when it digs Into the East. Cin clnnati Is still a very uncertain ball club, with “Joe” Tinker doing his best to put an edge on his team. Whether he will accomplish this or not is beyond me. The Reds have improved slightly the past week, winning a couple more games and being crowded by Boston for last place. Pittsburg has the natural robustness, and is bound to come through later In the season. Whether the club will brace on this Impend ing Eastern trip or not Is doubtful. The team did much better on the road last season for the most part than at home. Clarke has an ex cellent pitching staff, which has so far failed to get going. All the Eastern teams in the Na tional League are stronger this year than last, Judging from the showing to date. Philadelphia, as I have said. Is an improved ball club. None knows It better than the Giants. Brooklyn has mounted to the first division, and will give the Western ers a good battle. Boston is about the same, perhaps a trifle better. The Giants are not going at a normal I stride yet. the club being particular I ly weak with the stick. The pitch ing staff is also faltering, Tesreau not finding the weather warm enough and "Rube" Marquard just recovering from an attack of tonsi- lttis. • • • T HE Western clubs will be crowd ed down by their visits to the East, according to my notions.- I expect to see the Cubs tumbled out of their high place, because they are going to run Into better pitch ing than they have faced so far in the West, and the Chicago twirlers have not the finish to hold opposing teams' to small scores that will be necessary to beat the good twirling they will meet. In Philadelphia, par ticularly, this will he true. Right now Dooin is getting the best pitch ing In the league. The Giants’ pitch ing staff should also be in better form when the Westerners arrive. Marquard Is rounding, too, and his return to his regular place in the pitching schedule is going to help things. Pittsburg should profit by the trip. All that the club needs is work and polishing. Cincinnati and St. Louis will be victims of the East. 1 can not see the possibility In the Card!- PREP LEAGUE NOTES A glance at the standing of the teams leads a person to wonder what has be come of the horseshoe that Jake Stahl carried last season. Baseball may be a losing proposition, but it would be hard to find a more deso late spot than a home for indigent base ball magnates. IN CINCINNATI “*Tin false." he said.. "It cannot be. Methinks that thou art kidding me, Or else thou hast a bun. Hut it would make me blithe and gay And / wrjuld sing the livelong day ('ould / believe you when you say Joe Tinker's team has won." Twenty-seven daredevil, death defy ing demons will start in the 5(K>-mile race at Indianapolis. But, not being h mortician, feline to become en thusiastic. Peacock students 'are holding a ten nis tournament at East Lake this week. One match is still to he played.

They are early-soaBou spurl- ers, but, as the race wears along, they will drop back like the Reds did last year. ♦ • • 'T' TIE Giants must, profit by tl'to Western Invasion. The jump we were to acquire In the first weeks of the race has not developed, but this is explained by the fact that the club has met better baseball in the East than was being played In this section last season. Every East ern club Is stronger. I believe, In cluding even Boston. The New York team is just as healthy this year as It was last, if not slightly improved, but the great thing the Giants wfil be forced to overcome is too much self-assurance. This quality is al ways dangerous in A ball club, and the fact the team has won the pen nant for the past two years makes the men feel overly confident. The addition of the new blood in the club should help to eliminate this. Burns and Shafer were substitutes last year. They have improved enough to push q couple of regulars out of their jobs this summer. They are both great ball players, and very fast and ambitious. Dcmaree has been added to the pitching staff. It Is therefore evident the club is stronger than it was last season, be cause none of the veterans have gone back. But still l think the whole fight will be harder, because several other teams have been bolstered up, notably Philadelphia and Chicago. If Evers had a couple of airtight pitchers, he would have a great chance for the championship. The invasion of the Westerners will answer some questions that are still hanging in the air. One of these, and the most important, is; “Can the Cubs hold up?" 1 do not believe that they can. hut If Evers rolls through hlB Eastern campaign and Is In first, place, they are going to be dangerous hoys.
