By Tad 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. . straight -away, for the dashes ri procured al- dash promise* 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.

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.

BOXING News of the Ring Game areas,- „ CHRISTY MATHEWS BIG 11/ LtAGUt GOSSIP N 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 an his manager and ha« placed himself under the management of Danny Mpr gan. AV>e and Morgan agreed on termH terday, according to a report from New York * • • 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< lei Britton step on the scales at 133 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. * • * Frank Moran, who fought Luther MeCartv recently with a broken hand, will not be able to don the gloves for at least three weeks, on account of the injury His manager was offered a bout with'Jim Flynn at the Atlas A. A. of Boston, on May 20. but was compelled to pass it up. * * • Having lost dose to $2,000 on the Luther McCarty-Moran battle because they guarantee.! McCarty $5,000, Jess an.! E.lrllo McMahon, managers of the St. Nicholas A O., yesterday made the an nouncement that under no circum stances wilt they give another fighter a guarantee In the future, even If he ta a champion. • « * Johnny Griffith, of Akron, and Pal Moore, of Philadelphia, will meet for 12 rounds ill Akron.

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. • * * • But the season is still young Jones and Barrett Are Stars in Shoot Former Captures High Average Prize in Georgia State Championship. Barrett Wins State Title. AM ERIC US, GA„ May 9.—Henry Jones, of Macon, Ga., won the high average championship in the two- days’ contest of the Georgia State Gun Club shoot here this afternoon.

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 the Reds and left to join the team.

ALLENTOWN, PA., May 9.—Lefty Russel], the famous southpaw* for whom Connie Mack paid $12,000, has been turned over to the Allentown Tristate Club by Manager Jack Dunn, of the Baltimore Club. Russell will cover the initial sack for the Allen 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.
