GRIFFIN SUCCEEDS WEBER AS AMERICUS MANAGER AMERICUS, OA.. May 13.—The Americus ball team left yesterday for Waycross in charge of First Baseman Hal Griffin as temporary manager. Thoroughly tired of continued defeat sustained by the Americus aggrega tion. the directors met this morning and relieved Manager Harry Weber of that office, temporarily at least, putting Griffin in charge. Americus has lost seven of the nine games played already, and while Manager Weber ascribes defeat to had luck, local fans are less char itably inclined. It is generally sus pected here that the salary limit rule is not being observed by all of the clubs of the league, and as Americus is living within the salary limits she is placed at disadvantage in employ ment of proficient players ill luck of the Americus team re cently has caused interest in base ball to nag perceptibly, although a winning streak would quickly restore enthusiasm.

After the Hist week of the clubs of the National league, one thing is very stronger titan the West tills year, hut that does winner will be a product of the East. At, first, it was thought there would be only two .clubs in the East tHnt could put tip any kind of a front against the Western teams which were rated to he strong. These two were Now York and Philadelphia, but now Brooklyn lias come through with Hie 1 test-looking team that has been developed in years across the bridge. Boston is also playing good enough ball. * * • I WANT to pause for a minute to discuss Boston and Pittsburg. Behind the Beaneaters tills year is a shrewd 1 "manager, one who is building. “Chief” Stallings is picking up all the likely ball players he can find around loose, and then sorting them out as they come. He is constructing; and out of the twisted mass of baseball junk which he took over at the be ginning of the season, lie is going to have a smooth-running machine soon. The Boston club, although many good hitters have resided on the team from time to time, has long been the victim of its own sluggishness. Stallings is trying to add a little sliced to Ills club. He realizes its value. With this notion in mind, tie went out and sign ed Mann to play in the outfield. Stal lings thinks the boy will make a great ball player if given time. “He's the fastest man in baseball," the “Chief” told us when we were in Boston in the early part of the sea son, and he wasn’t punning on the name, either. Referee Usually Correct t*+ +•+ +••!• +•+ +•+ Defends Charley Eyton D S TAMPING 8 "Hick” lit] has also picked up udolph, the pitcher of the International l.cague, and once a member of the (Rants for a brief period. Rudolph will win a lot of games for Stallings. Then there,Is a different spirit manifested by the club now, which is a reflection of the Stal lings style. When the game gets hard, the boys do not abandon the pursuit of victory and blow up as former Bos ton teams did. No, sir. It is in there fighting, as proved by the fact they took two extra inning games from the Pirates last week, with Wagner in both battles, • • • A BOUT the Pittsburg club, I do not know what to say. I have not seen the team play this year so far, blit from the gossip in the league and the box scores, it is evident that the club is fill off Its balance. The return of Wagner is going to help the team a whole lot, but Clarke’s great est disappointment is the failure of his pitchers to come through. Before the season, the Pittsburg pitching staff was regarded as one of the best in Iho league, if not the very best, botti by the players themselves and by the newspai>er writers who follow the teams. Many times ball players will approve a mail whom the gen eral public and the writers cannot see I'or instance. Fletcher, formerly the shortstop of the (Rants, was gen erally rated more highly by ball play ers than by tile general public and writers. They know Itis ground-cov ering ability, and he lots the finest pair of hands 1 ever saw on a hall player. • • • B IT. i > rot urn to the Pittsbuir t ill'. Hendrix. who led tb » lo:uruo lust year: Adams, Robinso ». O’Toole and Ounnitz sound like a • <'licet ion «*f world boaters. You’d think it would only l>e necessary to have one of those numes announced as the Pittsburg pitcher, and the game would l»c over. Not one of these men has been going smoothly this year. Hendrix has been wild, and O’Toole has lieen wild, and the staff has been * generally out of shape. O’Toole is baek at his old job of losing games b\ one run. I guess he holds the record for this jointly with “Nap” Rucker. • • * r TMIl’. Pirates were rated as a great * slugging team liefore the season. It was on t' c |>eerless pitching and slflmbang slugging they were to ride through the league to ail early pen nant, because even the nit'ftibers of the club themselves concede that the team lacks s|>eed. But the pitchers would hold the opposing teams to one or two runs, and the Pittsburg boys would pile up many with their bats, and there would he a nice little ball game for Mr. Clarke all wrapped up in cotton batting and tin foil to lie put in the inolb halls. However, the pitchers have been permitting many runs, and the batters have not been slugging: and the race is not de stroyed yet. “The Pirates condition slowly. Wait until the warm weather sets in,” a Pittsburg rooter whispered into m.v ear the other da.v. It will (io tlie team little good to round into form along in September. It is m.v honest opinion that the club is going to get on Ihe move one of these days and kick up a lot of dust. It yet will lie a trouble-maker in the league, because those pitchers are sure to begin to twirl and the bat ters to hit. Therefore,'' it pleases the Giants immensely to see the Pirates crowded down as far as possible at tills stage, especially as we are not up any too high in the ladder of the club standing ourselves.

By Otto 0. Kioto. ENVER, May 12.—Voicing their opinions. That’s the privilege of every gathering where box ing bouts are decided. Yet how of ten have we found the great major ity in error while taking issue with the judge who render* the decision. Many and many a time have I seen the third man In the ring absolutely correct in his Judgment, and yet the crowd howled Its disapproval. Then also have I seen the referee quite wrong and the crowd give him great: applause for the verdict. It's all the way you look at It: it’s the angle from which you view the content. And yet with it all I’ll wager that the man in the ring is more often correct than the crowd seated about the arena. The official in the in closure is generally one supposed to know the game, the tricks, advan tages that score points and every thing else that becomes necessary to make him a fair and Impartial judge. For that reason he is better able to reach a correct verdict than the out sider, who comes only on occasions to view the fights, and who nine times out of ten Is prejudiced. Of course, when an Incompetent man officiates, then our argument Is dashed to the ground—we are left without a leg to stand upon. H ow 11 the many times have you sat at ringside when one * man’s friends seemed in the majority? You’ve seen this favorite beaten a mile, and yet the referee, for fear of adverse criticism, either calls the bout a "draw" or awards the deci sion to the man whose friends are shouting for him and yet who failed White City Park Now Open to win. I’ve seen this occur time and again, and so have you. Just now' Charley Eyton of Los Angeles is being "panned” for call ing the Dundee-Kilbane bout a draw. The press reports tell us that the verdict was unpopular and that Kil bane won. Perhaps so. But we have always found Eyton quite cor rect In his decisions. For years he has officiated in Los Angeles, and no complaint has been heard. He may have erred this time for all we know. But wait until the smoke of battle clears away and you’ll find that his verdict wasn’t feo far amiss. That, at any rate, is my guess. • * * IF the verdict was not in aecord- 1 a nee with the facts, then Kilbane has but himself to blame. His stal ling tactics are quite unbecoming for a champion and have got him in bad in the East until his last fight, when he redeemed himself with a knock out and regain some of his standing. A champion is supposed to carry the brunt of the battle. If he allows his opponent to assume the aggres sive from start to finish, how can he hope to gain the favor of the referee? Isn’t the fellow who rushes the bat tle and makes it possible for the spectators to see real action entitled to something? GAN DIL’S FOOT IS BRUISED.
