KM PH IS. TENN., May 12.—
pelle or Brady to open up the
Memphis series, with Graham catch
ing.
The Crackers romped on the Rilli-
1 '.on hurlers yesterday and scored an
M Hsy victory. Gilbert Price won both
games won by the Crackers in this
series. ,
We hit the ball to all corners
the lot, for homo runs, three-base
hits, two-base hits and singles.
Harry Welchonce had a great day,
bmh ai bat and in the field. He got
lour hits out of four trips to the
plate, one being a home run, and
pulled down line drives that looked
impossible. He had a great day.
Tommy Long nearly hit the “bull”
'gain. His home run just missed the
' ig sign by inches.
Bill Bailey got back in the game
and was robbed of a home run by a
great catch by Kutina.
Take it all in all, the Crackers hit
'he ball as they should, and we feel
confident we will keep going, now
that we have started.
Wally Smith turned his ankle and
will probably be out <>f the game for a
few days. George Rohe will go to
third until Wally is able to cavort
around his old position.
The Crackers travel nearly 1.400
miles in the next week, including
Montgomery to Memphis, then to
New Orleans and back to Atlanta.
The Crackers do not hope to re
gain first position til? we reach home,
but will hold second place, and when
Mobile gets on the road they will not
win so many games. With us at home
we should regain the position Billy
Smith’s hall club should hold.

F AR be it from us to embark on
that time-honored and worn
argument as to the Greatest
Pitcher in the World, Bl T T
Just back from a chain-lightning
jaunt through the upper right-hand
corner of the big league territory,
we voice one fact-proved conclusion:
that Walter Johnson is the only genu
ine sensation of a good, brisk season.
When Johnson at Chicago Satur
day completed 52 2-3 innings with
out allowing a run he added further
proof to a well-known fact, said w.-k.
fact being that there’s only one great
est pitcher in the world alive to-day,
and his initials are W. J.
Don’t forget, in giving Johnson his
due that Walter’s support is nothing
amazing. The Senators lack about
ten ball players of having a great b$U
club. The catching staff has wabbled
for years. Schaeffer at first is no
Daubert. Lapoite is—well, he’s just
Laporte, which isn’1 anything so
marvelous. The outfield consists
largely of Milan. McBride is a grand
fielder, but a fright at hitting.
When Walter Johnson wins a ball
game he wins it all by himself. And
B takes a pretty good piL her to do
that in. anybody’s league.
MTHK SENATORS play good ball
A behind Johnson," you say.
Sure they do. Why shouldn’t they?
Any old team can play pretty good
ball behind a pitcher who NEVER
flickers. But it is thunder to pitch
ball all the time that’s air-tight.
That’s the advantage Mathewson
has had all these years. His team
now and then won a game FOR HIM.
Johnson, when he does win, takes no
chances, but keeps ’em won all the
way. *
Three and a third more runless in
nings and Johnson reaches Doc
White’s world's record.
* * #
N 'EW YORK, it appeared to me
/as a bit bilious on the subject
of baseball. With the Yanks last,
the Giants nowhere and Brooklyn be
neath their dignity, the fans of the
metropolis haven’t a blamed thing to
console them.
The opinion prevails that the
Giants ape a problem. As for the
Yanks, everybody seems to feel that
Chance will make a team of them in
due time. It really is amazipg the
confidence they feel in the Peerless
Leader.
As to just what’s the matter with
the Yanks, not even Chance him
self seems to know. They are joy-
scouting a trifle too much, no doubt.
Chance's recent order against morn
ing poker games took out one of the
many kinks. The team was bottling
itself up every morning and absorb
ing too much tobacco smoke and too
little oxygen.
The real trouble with the Yanks
lies deep. It must be due to rotten
spirit somewhere. Chance will fire
a lot of men or throw' the fear of
Gehenna into them before he gets a
ball club.
M AYBE you don’t think that
placid burg of Brooklyn isn't
"hawg wild" over its Dixie-developed
ball club. The idea of Brooklyn
sticking right up around the top.
with the season a month advanced, is
hard to appreciate.
About all Dahlin needs now is for
‘ Red’’ Smith's annual hitting streak
to crop out. That is all that is lack
ing. Jake Daubert and Zack Wheat,
two other former Southern Leaguers
on the same team, are decidedly off in
hitting, too; but they are the sort
who always manage to get back on
after a bit. Jake is suffering from
an attack of “lambasteit,” and when
he eases off a shade in his efforts, his
average will go up like a baloon—and
stay up.
' Bob Fisher, the Nashville kid. is
not only as good as he ever was. but
he’s considerably better. The stride
lie is hitting now will bring him
high honors.
Of Rucker, nothing need be said,
except that he shows no sign what
ever of fading. Lefty Allen, late of
Mobile, is rather better this year than
ever. Strange to say, these grand
southpaws have not won a game
yet. Rucker has dropped three tough
ones. Allen is always a slow starter.
Dahlen still believes he can make
something out of “Bull’’ Wagner, his
New Orleans recruit. This one is big
and tough, and may develop.
Of all the Southerners on Dahlen’s
staff, none has been quite the surprise
this season that Charley Stengel, the
ex-Billikin, has. This lad has won
several games with timely, screaming
hits: has cracked out two that nicked
the “bull” sign and has fielded sen
sationally.
I can't help feeling that Stengel is
playing a good bit over his stride and
is due a slump. But. then, you can't
tell. No rules hold in Brooklyn.
Look at Zack Wheat as an example—
a shine in the Southern, a star in
the National.
It would be a fine, amazing thing if
the Brooklyn club should make a big
showing. But. then. Washington did
last year, so you never can tell.

MAN DOT AND ANDERSON
WORK HARD FOR SCRAP
LOS ANGELES, May 12.—Joe Man-
dot. and Bud Anderson both went
through hard workouts yesterday for
thAir scheduled 20-round contest a
week from to-morrow night at Ver
non.
.Johnny Dundee and his manager.
V Scotty Monteith. returned yesterda\
L morning from the East. Dundee will
I. 'shortly take up quarter- at Venire
to train for his match at Vernon with
I Ad Wolgaat on Junk lu.
By shutting out the White Sox Sat
urday Walter Johnson, of the Senators,
annexed a record of 52 2-3 scoreless in
nings. breaking the old record <>f 45.
But just as soon as Johnson had turned
the trick somebody in Chicago declared
that “Doc" White, nine years ago. had
pitched 54 or 56 innings without being
scored upon.
* * *
Joe Jackson, of the Naps, hammered
out a four-base swat yesterday when
the liases were filled. He also got a
double and two singles out of four times
up.
* * *
For the benefit of those interested it
may be said that C. Webb Murphy has
not' as vet looped the loop from t lie top
of ihe Brooklyn grandstand, in keeping
with his promise. Nor is there any rea
son to hot>e that he will.
* * *
Otis Ctymer's inability to play with
the Cubs 'Saturday w as due to the fact
that he ate a $:t steak in one of the
gilded grills in New York and right
away go' ptomaine poisoning.
* * *
The Naps so far have refused to
“(‘rack.'' as has been widely predicted.
Maybe, after all, they've discarded their
old and famous trick, and will become
real pennant contenders. While dis
cussing the Naps, it might be well to
look into the record of one J. Birming
ham, manager.
* * *
When Birmingham took charge of the
Naps late last season they were trying
their hardest to skid out of the per
centage column. Immediately thereafter
they started to win and when the sea
son* ended they had a record of 26 vic
tories against 6 defeats.
* * *
Jack Coombs, the star twirier of the
Athletics, is recovering from his ill
ness, hut will n«>t be able to get back
into the game until Jure.
* * •
The Red Sox came up from behind in
the game with the Tigers yesterday,
making three runs, tying the score in
the ninth inning. They scored the win
ning run in the tenth.
Walter Johnson, of the Senators, with
seven victories, leads this twirling rec
ord.
* * *
The showing Jim Thorpe, the dis
qualified Olympic athlete, has made in
exhibition games has caused Giant fans
to beg McGraw to place him in the
regular line-up.
* * *
Shouldn’t the Cubs be called the
veterans? In their line-up are Schulte,
Evers, Reulbach, Ritchie, Archer, t’or-
riden, Bresnahan and a few' others who
have been playing for several genera
tions.
* * *
Speaker, Lewis and Hendriksen, of the
Red Sox, are poling for a combined
average of about .360. yet the team is
down in sixth place.
* * *
The Browns, without the aid of their
suspended manager. George Stovall, had
an eas\ time trimming the Senators
yesterday.

Ed Walsh pitched for the Sox yester
day against he Athletics, and won.

TURN OUT AT MOBILE
MOBILE, ALA.. May 12 Mobile
and Chattanooga broke even in yes
terday’s double-header. The crowd
was almost equal to that of the Sun
day’s opener between Atlanta and
the locals, it was estimated at near
ly 6,000. Chattanooga took the first
game by a score of 1 to 0, while the
last was a veritable batfest for the
locals, who garnered hit after hit
from Troy’s delivery and piled up
thirteen. Hogg lost his first game
of the season. He was found for five
singles, fanned four and walked
three.

There art several things which fail to

George Stovall is a rude person and
all that. The chief fault to be found

ATHENS IS IFF
A THENS. HA.. May 12.—The
track meet between Tech and
Georgia, scheduled to be held
at Athens this afternoon, has been
postponed until next week. The meet
was called off by Georgia faculty, w r ho
base their claim on the fact that
most of the track stars are on the
baseball team and a meet at this
time would interfere with the team's
chances in the games with Tech in
Atlanta next Friday and Saturday.
The Georgia boys have devoted most
of their time to baseball practice and
the track team is not in shape to
meet any one right now.

last night that he would have the
track proper completed by that time
and would then start work on the

Most of the famous motorcycle rid

Evans Writes of Eyesight in Golf
+•+ t*v v#r r#r r**!*
MostPlayersDependOn One Optic
By “Chick” Evans.
C HICAGO, ILL., May 10.—There
has been a great deal of dis
cussion of late in the British
golf magazines and newspapers con
cerning what is called the “master
eye in golf." This phrase seems to
indicate that each player has one eye
which serves better than the other
in the all-important act of keeping
the eye on the ball. British periodi
cals therefore discourse at length
upon the subject and advise a study
of one’s best optic. An unintentional
experiment was made in England a
short time ago during a team match
by a member of the Cambridge Uni
versity team. One eye of the gentle
man had been undergoing medical
treatment and at the time of the
competition was bandaged closely. In
spite of this handicap he halved the
match with his opponent and played
splendid golf at times; on occasion,
however, he found difficulty in judg
ing distances.
• • •
B EING Interested in the subject I
made a few experiments myself
to determine which was my master
eye, and I have concluded that it is
my left Perhaps I cock my head
back a little on the back swing and
on the down swing to the actual
hitting: at any rate, T seemed in my
experiment to make a greater use of
my left eye T think Valle’s weight
testing machine could be used profit
ably in this discussion, because if a
player sways backward the line from
his left eye to the ball is shorter and
less oblique. In any inclination there
is a tendency to shorten the line from
the left eye to the ball. Of course, I
am arguing from the standpoint of
a right-handed golfer. I should think
the right eye would he more impor
tant to the left-handed player.
In the execution of the longer shots
the ball is played so far away from
the body that one can not get both
eyes immediately over the ball and
allow' the club to lie naturally, which,
by the way. is one of the most im
portant things to be borne in mind.
In cases where there is a marked dis
crepancy in the strength of the eyea
the stronger must be necessarily most
favored.
• • •
O NE of my great little rules has
always been to keep my eyes in
such a position that lines of equal
length drawn from each eye will meet
at a certain point on the ball. In this
case, of course, no eye can be called
the master eye. In putting, the hard
est shot of the game, I try to keep my
eyes directly over the ball The
stroke is so short that it would be
hard for me to tell which eye is the
better one. Maybe T could do bet
ter with only one eye; that seems to
be the only thing I have not tried
in my fruitless efforts to learn how
to putt.
Those plajttrs who wear glasses
must have special difficulties to over
come when playing golf, and it would
be enlightening to know what these
arie and how they are surmounted;
for the whole subject of the applica
tion of sight to golf playing is an in
teresting one.

A CHILD SAVED FROM A HORRIBLE DEATH
LITTLE ANNIE DONALDSON. AGE
8 YEARS. NO. 7 RICHARDS ST .
CORNER TOMBLIN ST.. LITTLE
DAUGHTER OF MR. AND MRS.
S. P. DONALDSON. AFTER 3
YEARS’ BATTLE SAVED AS IF
BY A MIRACLE.
Words can noi describe or express
ihe supreme feeling of lov and happi
ness which to-day filled the hearts of
Mr. and Mrs. ft. P. Donaldson, who re
side at No. 7 Richards Street, New Fra
division, this city. Little Annie. 8
years old, not larger than an ordi
nary child of 5 years*, was saved from
death and restored to perfect health
in a seemingiy miraculous manner
For three year 1 * th s little child has
been suffering from some inexplain-
able cause. Her stomach would at
times bloat to immense proportions,
high fevers would frequently attack
her. followed by dreadful chills or
bilious attacks, her mind was clear,
but her memory weak, her sleep rest
less, sometimes screaming out. almost
frightened to death. Her breath, es
pecially in the mornings, was very
foul, dark circles under the eyes,
very nervous, her appetite was
changeable. ravenously hungry at
times, at other times the sight of
fond was nauseating. All the careful
attention which loving parents could
bestow was given to her. and all
modest attempts were resorted to,
but the child's condition grew worse.
The mother . did what hundreds of
other people were doing. She called
at Goursey &- Munn’s drug store and
obtained a treatment of the Quaker
Fxtract. With anxious mind she
watched for results, after the child
began taking the wonderful remedy,
and what were the results? To the
amazement of the w'hole family, the
child expelled a monster tapeworm,
head and all complete, alive and-
squirming It is hard to believe this
monster is 41 feet, in length. How
many children and people are being
tortyred by parasites, and bow they
go on for years dosing and doping for
what they think Is some form of
stomach trouble when it really is
worms of some kind that is causing
all your trouble! If it is worms.
Quaker P^xtract will expel them. If
it is caused from other causes, such
as catarrh. Indigestion, constipation,
the Quaker P^xtract wdl do more for
you than any other remedies on the
market to-day.
This case is so remarkable that
many people will doubt it. yet all are
at liberty to investigate, write, phone,
wire or call at the child’s residence,
the above address. The father is a
carpenter by occupation, was born and
lived most of his life here in At
lanta. and he has a host of friends
and they will vouch for his word.
The Health Teacher said the people
would soon realize the power of the
Quaker Remedies, and such cases as
this should 4 -tainly convince every
senaible peri. n. Once more the
Health Teacher recommends the
Quaker Extract and Oil of Balm to
any person who may suffer with rheu
matism. kidney, liver, stomach: Mad
der or blood trouble, and will expel
worms.
So call to-day at Courser & Mv.nn's
drug store. 29 Marietta Street, and
obtain these wonderful Quaker Rem
edies. We prepay express charges on
all orders of $3 or over.
