T HE annual Atlanta Prop Athletic
meet will be held Friday after
noon at Mari at field. Only
three schools are entered In this
event, but the athletics that are en
tered are all well trained and some
lively events will he neon. Every
thing about the field is in readiness.

of the meet as
and a hundred yard
Th* lanes are all laid
and hurdles have bee
80
The hundred-yard
to be the r* a) thriller
never before in a local contest have
there been so many evenly matched
men entered in this event. There
are Allen, and Lewis, of Marist; Sif-
ford of O. M, A.; Bedel) and Parks,
of Tech High Every one of these
lads have made the century in less
than 11 seconds and Allen has a
record of 10:3-5 seconds. Owing to
this mark the odd« are slightly in
favor of Allen, but If he does win It
will he by a scant few inches.
There will be plenty of competi
tion in every event with the possible
exception of the hammer throw. Fow
ler, of Marist, s*eems to be in a olaas
by himself in this event. He has
thrown the iron ball over 100 feet In
practice, which is better than any
other man in the league can do.
The entries are all in and Joe Bean,
who is staging the meet, has anounr-
ed that nearly fifty athletes will com
pete. Many of them will start In
two, three, and even four events.
Bill Bedell, of Tech High looks good
for the highest individual point win
ner. He has all kinds of grit and en
durance. and in the meet between
Tech High and Roys High he won
three firsts and a second place which
made his total 17 points
Charlie Allen, of Marist, is the hoy
that will no doubt give Bedell the
moat trouble.
The meet will start at 2:30 p. m
Prep League
News and Notes.
The decision of the Boys Nigh uthlefes
not to enter the Prep meet Friday
throws them out of high school circles
for the rest of the season. Since they
have taken the matter Into their own
hands and decided not to represent their
achool they will be regarded as an in
dependent team and will have to appear
as such In the rest of their meets this
season.
• * *
A new F*rep record for the hammer
throw will very likely be hung up in the
meet Friday by Fowler, of Marist. Fow
ler has had little ‘trouble hurling the
11-pound hammer 100 feet In practice.
• * •
A tennis tournament is being arrang
ed between the winners of the Boys
High contests and the winners of tfie
tournament now being held at F,ast
Ijake by the students of Peacock.
• V #
The tournament will be held on the
courts at East lake sonic time the lat
ter par! of this month and should prove
an interesting match as both schools are
well represented In this line of sport
• • •
The officials have announced that the
track meet at Marist Friday will start
at 3 p. m. This seems pretty late to
start such an affair as the meet will
probably run about four hours The
meet between Tech and Boys High
schools started at 1:30 and was not over
until 6 o’clock
* • *
Gharlie Allen, of Marist, is leading (lie
Prep league batters with .467. Armks-
teaa and Spurlock, of Hoys’ tyigh, are
close on his heels Parks, of Tech High,
is fourth, and Bedell, of Tech High,
is fifth.
Si Word and Babb will probably be G.
M. A.'s two biggest point-winners in the
meet Friday. Sifford made a lot of
points in the held day exercises at G.
M A. March 31. Brown and Solano are
two other predty good athletes, especial
ly in the sprints.
• * *
<'a Hah an. of Marist. threw just’ ten
balls in tlie first innings of the game

If the following quartet can keep
up the good work shown in the Boys
High-Marist game Wednesday they may
be assured of a place on the all-prep
team this year They are Allen, of Mar-

IT SMITH
By \Y. \Y. Naughtou
S ax' FRANCISCO, May 8.—Oun-
boai Smith once again ta with
us, and interest In the next heat
of the great white hope free-for-all
will Increase by leaps and bounds.
Smith is to meet Klongaled .less
Willard of Kansas at Coffroth's
Kl*llth Street Arena on Saturday af
ternoon, May 17. and when these two
have settled their differences the
search for the best pugilistic (tale
face on earth will be almost over.
it will only be necessary for the
winner to h<s>U up with Luther Mr-
Party and we will have a champion
whose right there will l>e none to
dispute—at least for a while.
Bluejacket vs. Cowboy.
The semi-final In the race- for
that’s what the coming bom may he
called will he between an ex-blue-
jacket and a cowboy. The fact that
a Ilian from o(T the bounding blue
and a man from the cattle plains have
battled their way to the front rank
of the world's lighters shows conclu
sively that champions are not al
ways the products of congested cities
The old argument used to be that the
best men were to be found where
there were the most men to pick
from, but It certainly does not hold
in pugilism.
A glance at the array of white
hopes who have tried and failed dur
ing the past year shows that cham
pionship candidates are drawn from
widely separated lands and from all
walks of life. So far as the prise
ring Is concerned. we have had
Ueorge rtndel. the South African
Boer, and Bombardier Wells, the Rrlt-
lsh artilleryman, who was seized
with the ambition'to shine as a ring-
man while on service In far India.
McKay Left Police Force.
Thm there was Fred McKay, the
Winnipeg policeman, who was at
tacked with the Queensberry bug
while patrolling his beat In hie home
town In Canada Al Palaer. another
blasted hope, came from the farm
lands back In Iowa. It wae not dif
ferent In the old years, however. The
lure of the game drew Joe Choynski
from the candy kitchen and Jim Cor
bett from the bank Fitzsimmons
rolled up his apron and dropped his
sledge when he heard the call of the
padded mitt, and Jeffries deserted
the boiler foundry
Nor must we forget Tom Sharkey,
-the %'ride of the navy,” who used to
say 111 the matter of punishment or suf
fering. lighting was child's play com
pared to walking the deck barefooted
on a hot day in ytie Red Sea.
Paul Dickey, Famous
End, Here Next Week
Former Michigan Football Hero in
Vaudeville Sketch at For
syth Theater.
Paul Dickey, who played star end
on the University of Michigan eleven
In ’07 and '08, and who led in all
track events and field exercise* while
at college, is now In vaudeville and
will appear at the Forsyth as the st.ir
feature, with his own company the
week of May 12.
Paul Dickey was a wonder in his
time. He wn« selected by every ex
pert who picked an All Western or
All American “leven He led the
ends, and even at thHt had some of
the greatest staiR of the other teams
to contend with. His work on the
track whs wonderful and some of his
records still stand.
His sketch in vaudeville is called
“The Come Back.” It deals with col
lege life, and football figures moat
prominently. It is a sketch that th^
sport-loving theatergoers will dou
bly appreciate.
During: his visit in Atlanta. Dickey
will be entertained by the Michigan
alumni who live here, and his “Frat”
mates are also preparing: to see that
he does not forget his week in At
lanta.

K\V VoIlK. May 11. Tilings have not changed greatly in Ihe American League this week,
exi-ept that the Washington club Is holding up with a persistence that makes it look
like a strong contender for Ihe flag. Johnson is pitching wonderful ball, the liest of his
career. The Athletics 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 1 never saw anything like the way he is traveling this Reason. He
has gone forty-two Innings without being scored on. and the chances are he will go forty-two
-Inore. He has everything in the world, and Ills fast hall has tile speed of a bullet and the worst jump or the
liest I ever looked at. Il depends upon the point of view whether it is Ihe tiest or worst. It looked like the
worst to me, Ixsnnse I was hatting against him. He has lieen calling what he intends to throw against opposing
hatters. He did tills repeatedly In the series with the Yankees.
" Ig)ok out,' he would say. Here I
comes a fast one.'
"Then he would shoot up the ball
with the old Jump on It. And the
batter missed il jusl as widely as if
he had no notion of the prescription.
That, Is going some when the pitch
er can tip the hatter off to his stuff
and get away with It,.
FODDER FOR FANS
Abe A11 ell has released John Keisfer

Before Morgan left Los Angeles he
asked Tom McCarey, the fight promoter,
to use Attell In a bout at Vernon, Gal.
and McCarey said he might nut the
ex-champion on against Johnny THindee.

Billy Gibson wanted Joe Rivers and
Jack Britton for the star bout at ihe re
opening of the Madison Square Garden,
hut Joe Levy, Rivers manager, could
not see it. Danny Morgan agreed t<

ringside, too.

Had the match been made Rivers
would have received 27 1 2 per cent and
Britton 22 1-2 per cent of the gate
Rivers is one of the many stars who
are steering clear of Britton these days.

Atlanta, Ga.
l< r T'HE Washington tea.ni la full
A of dash and ginger, and is
playing fast ball. They will give the
Athletics a great fight, 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 ins name mentioned.
After pitching In Philadelphia on
Saturday and losing because Cra-
vnth. who is hitting very hard this
season, pumped a home run into the
bleachers. 1 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 lota 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. Cushion 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."
• * •
<<TTOW about the Athletics?"
AT. "We're in pretty fair shape.
Our pitching department caused the
most ante-season fretting. Plank is
going flue, and Bender seems to be
rounding into form now. Coombs is
the member of the veteran trio who
is to the had. 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
that time he hurt himself in the
world's series with the Giants. H's
health has been had. and during that
rainy spell when we were In Wnsh
ington he was taken ill and had to
he sent home. It Is problematical
whether he will he in any kind of
shape before the middle of the sum
mer. ‘Connie’ is worried about him.
44 \ LI. the young pitchers look
A 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, 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 presenl tntersectional se
ries is completed. That is what al
ways tells on the clubs—the long
trips away from home
:(Copyright. 1S13. by the Mcthure News
paper Byn^f *te.)
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 Reds' five victories.
* s a
Everybody laughed at (’barley Kb-
betfi last winter w'hen he built a base
ball plant with a rapacity of 35,000. And
now Ebbeta 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 heating the Oubs
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 lowly Braves bumped the Pirates
agaJn yesterday and the Pittsburg fans
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 athletes.
Johnnie Evers, the “Keystone King,”
put up a weird fielding exhibition yes
terday, making three errors, two of ■
which resulted in runs for the Dodgers,
enough to give them a victory.
* * *
A great batting 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 [lodgers,
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 thorn 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. •

GALVESTON, TEXAS. May 9.—A
200-mile automobile race on Galves
ton beach, for which a prize of $5,000
will be hung up, is to be the feature
event of the 1913 Cotton Carnival

The meet will cover three days in ail,
the dates being set on July 28, 29 and
30. It is planned to offer prizes ag
gregating $14,000 for the meet.
NO CAUSE FOR PROTEST.
NEW YORK, May 9.—The New
York Nationals had no undue advan-
Lige over the Philadelphia club in
the games played at the Polo grounds
late in April by reason of the fact
that there was a hole scooped out
of the diamond back of the pitchers’
box. This is the finding of President
Thomas J Lynch of the National
league, on the protest of the Phil
adelphia club. He orders that the
result of the games shall stand as
played.
BETTS GOES TO REDS.
CINCINNATI, May 9.—Fred Betts,
a Cincinnati ball player, who pitched
for the Cardinals several years ago,
to-day signed a contract to play with

town team.
A
TLANTA boxing fans will be
furnished the opportunity of
witnessing two corking bouts
next month at the Auditorium-Ar
mory. The first wil be held on June
9 and will bring together Jim Flynn
and Jim Savage. The next show will
follow* on June 17 and will be be
tween Leach Cross, or FYeddie Welsh,
and Matty Baldwin.
The Flynn-Savage match has al
ready been closed and It is likely that
the other will be all O K’d within
the next few days. Baldwin has al- J
ready accepted, while both Cross and
Welsh are anxious to exhibit their
wares here.
Flynn should be a tremendous card
in Atlanta. He was beating Jack John
son to a frazzle until he wae dis
qualified on a technicality. And Sav
age is a good attraction here as he
decisively defeated Al Kubiak a cou
ple of weeks after the latter had 1
whipped Carl Morrif* in a local ring.
CITY LEAGUE TO MEET.
The City League will hold its final
meeting to-night at the College Co-Op
store, preparatory to the opening of the
