M emphis, tenn.. May 12.—
Billy Smith will use Chap-
pelle or Brady to open up the
Memphis series, with Graham catch
ing.
The Crackers romped on the Billi-
ken hurlers yesterday and scored an
easy victory, Gilbert Price won both
games won by the Crackers in this
series.
We hit the ball to all corners of
the lot, for home runs, three-base
hits, two-base hits and singles.
Harry Welchonce had a great day,
both at bat and in the. field* He got
four hits out of four Hips 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”
again. His home run just missed the.
big sign by inches..
Bill Bailey got back in the game
and was robbed of a home run by a
gTeat catch by Kutina.
Take it all in all, the Crackers hit
the 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 of the game for a
few days. George Rohe will go to
third until Wally is able to cavort
around Jiis old position.
The Crackers travel nearly 1.400
miles in tha next week, including
Montgomery to Memphis, then to
New Orleans and back to Atlanta.
The Crackers do not hope to re
gain first position till 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 ball club should hold.

Season's Sensation Is W. Johnson
»|*#*j* ^*#4* *$•••£•
Dodgers Stir Things Up a Bit, Too
By Percy H. Whiting.
F AR be it from us to embark on
that time-honoTed and worn
argument as to the Greatest
Pitcher in the World, BUT—
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 ball
club. The catching staff has wabbled
for years. Schaeffer at first is no
Daubert. Laporte is—well, he's just
Laporte, which isn’t 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
it takes a pretty good pitcher to do
that in anybody’s league.
* * *
RTHE SENATORS play good ball
* behind Johnson,” you say.
Sure they do. W r hy shouldn’t they?
Any old team cab 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
wav.
Three and a third more runless in
nings and Johnson reaches Doc
White's world’s record.
• • •
N EW YORK, it appear^ 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 are ,a problem. As for the.
Yanks, everybody seems to feel that
Chance will make a team of them in
due time. It really is amazing the
confidence they feel in the Peerless
Leader.
As to just what’s the matter with
the Yanks, not evep 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 tlfrow 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 cr6p out. That is all that is lack
ing. Jake Daubert and Zack Wheat,
two other former Southern Leaguers
pn 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
he is hitting now will bring him
high honors.
Of Rucker, nothing need be said,
except thJM. 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.
1 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.
Sporting Food
i —By GEORGE E. PHAIR >
HAS BEEN.
Time was when Jimmy tiheckard took
his stand
And lowbrows hit the hall to heat the
hand.
He ncvei' moved, hut stood there
with a smile
And waited as it nestled in his hand.
Tims was when Mordy Brown stood
on the mound;
The sacks were full and no one could
be found
To stop the swats—he shot them at
the plate
And Cobb and Crawford rolled them
on the ground. *
l sit to-day and freeze my youthful
frame,
And yell till my esophagus is lame,
But, Oh! to see Jim Sheekard out
in left
As Brown comes walking in to save
the game.
There are several things which fail to
excite our ambition, one of which is to
throw the first ball at the first game of
the Federal League.
George Stovall is a rude person and
all that. The chief fault to be found
with him is that he played with the
wrong team.
If Mr. 8t,ovall had been playing with
a New York team he would have been
slapped on the wrist and suspended a
whole day—if the day happened to fall
on Sunday.
It is well to make an example of a
ball player if he plays for a magnate
who will stand for It.
The fact that St. Louis lost the first
game in the Federal league is merely
a reversion to type. St. Ix)uis does not
feel comfortable unless it is at the
bottom of things.
One is not surprised to hear that
Ritchie demands $15,000 for a conflict in
New York. If Willie does not have a
care he may get himself into a fight.
We arc about to have motorcycle races
in our midst. We presume that they
will be attended by the same persons
who pay regular money to see wrestling
matches.
It is getting so these days that a team
that Frank Chance beats Is accused of
having the milk of human kindness.
Bonesetter Reese bursts out with the
information that dandelion greens will
cure liver trouble, but he fails to state
what will cure dandelion grec*ns.
Frank cnance arises to remark that
he will not trade Hal Chase for Ty Cobb.
Even David Harum would find It hard
to trade a jackknife for a Derby winner.

FODDER FOR FANS
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 of 4a.
But just as soon as Johnson had turned
the trick somebody in Chicago declared
that “Doc” W'hite, nine years ago, had
pitched 54 or 66 innings without being
scored upon.
* ♦ *
Joe Jackson, of the Naps, hammered
out a four-base swat yesterday when
the bases 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 the top
of the Brooklyn grandstand, in keeping
with his promise. Nor is there any rea
son to hope that he will.
• • *
Otis Clymer's inability to play with
the. Cubs Saturday was due to the fact
that he ate a $3 steak in one of the
gilded grills fn New York and right
away got ptomaine poisoning,
* * *
The Naps so far have refused to
"crack,” 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 T>f 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 twirler of the
Athletics, is recovering from his ill -
nee*, but will not he able to get back
into thfc game until June.
* . * •
The Red Sox came up from behind in
the game with , the Tigers yesterday,
making three runt>. tying the sepre in
tho;.ninth inning. They scored the win
ning run in the tenth.
* * *
Falkonberg's victory for tlm Naps
over the Yankees yesterday makes his
sixth straight win of the season. Only
Walter Johnson, of the Senators, with
seveti victories, leads this twirling rec
ord.
* * *
The showing Jim Thorpe, the dis
qualified Olympic athlete, has made in
exhibition gatne9 has caused Giant fans
to be.g .\frGraw to place him in the
regular line-up.
* * * -**
Shouldn’t the Cubs be called the
veterans? In their line-up are Schulte,
F.vers, Keulbach, Ritchie, Archer. Cor-
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, Georg<\ Stovall, had
an easy time trimming the Senators
yesterday.

SIX THOUSAND FANS
TURN OUT AT MOBILE
MOB1I.E, ABA., May 12—Mobile
and Chattanooga broke even in yes
terday’s double-header. The crow/d
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 are various reasons why Charlie
Dooin's team should win this year, one
of which is that Horace Fogel is not in
the way.
“A club owner must think,” quoth
Charles Webb Murphy. If Charles
thinks before he speaks he does a
heluva lot of thinking.
Some day we shall scrape up nerve
enough to ask a motorcyclist whether he
has been sentenced to it or whether It
is his own free will.
THE ANCIENT MARINER.
It is an ancient mariner:
l grab him on the street.
He takes me by the arm and says:
“Be steady on your feet.”
He says : “Young mnn.l do not want
To slip you any salve.
But I am deeply jealous of
The cargo that yon have."

ATHENS IS IFF
A THENS, GA„ 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, who
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.
FOUR MOTORCYCLE RIDERS
ARRIVE FOR THE BIG MEET
Four of the speed merchants who
will compete on Jack Prince’s motor
cycle track on the old circus grounds
arrived in the city Sunday, and were
on the roads around Atlanta all dur
ing the day, tuning up their racing
machines.
The one-quarter-mile saucer will
be in readiness for them to practice
on by Friday. Mr. Prince announced
last night that he would have the
track proper completed by that time
and would then start work on the
seating.
Most of the famous motorcycle rid
ers of this country will be in At
lanta for the race meet, and some fine
sport is promised. Records are also
sure to go glimmering.
Mr. Prince estimates that the riders
will average 90 miles an hour on the
saucer.
SHERIDAN DECIDES TO
GIVE UP ALL ATHLETICS
NEW YORK. May 12. Because it
interferes with his job. Martin Sheri
dan, policeman, former champion
discus thrower, has decided to drop
out of athletics.
“You can state positively for me,”
Sheridan is accredited with saying,
“that I am through with competition
for good. I would like to take part
in the games, but I find it inter
feres with my job, so I have decided
to cut it out. There is no doubt I
could go back into competition and
do as well as I did. I went out to
Celtic Park the other day and throw
the discus 13 feet with all my clothes
on. 1 will probably go out there
sometimes for exercise, but that will
be all.
ELBERFELD ATTACKED

Some of the onlookers stated the

Evans Writes of Eyesight in Golf
*J«#*{* •»*•*!* *1*§4* *£••*1* vt*h
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 thh subject I
made a few experiments myself
to determine which was my master
eye, and 1 have concluded that it is
my left. Perhaps 1 cock my head
back a little on the back swing and
on the down swung to the actual
hitting; at any rate, I seemed in my
experiment to make a greater use of
my left eye. I think Valle’s weight
testing machine could bo 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 hall. 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 hall 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 iii the strength of the eyes
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 thin
case, of course, no eye can be called
the master eye. In putting, the hardr
e.st shot of the game, 1 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 I 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 players who wear glasses
must have special difficulties to over
come when playing golf, and it would
be enlightening to know what these
are 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 not describe or express
the supreme feeling of joy and happi
ness which to-day Mlled the hearts of
Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Donaldson, who re
side at No. 7 Richards Street, New Era
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 seemingly miraculous manner.
For three ’"ears this little child has
been surc-ring 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
food 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 Coursey & Munn’s drug store and
obtained a treatment of the Quaker
Extract. 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 whole 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
tortured by parasites" and how 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 Extract will expel them. Tf
it is caused from other causes, such
as catarrh. Indigestion, constipation,
the Quaker Extras will 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 libertv to investigate, write, phone,
wire or cal. at the child’s residence,
the above address. The father is a
camenter 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 ot the
Quaker Remedies, and such cases as
this should certainly convince every
sensible person. Once more the
Health Teacher recommends the
Quaker Extract and Oil of Balm to
anv person who may suffer with rheu
matism. kidney, liver, stomach, blad
der* or blood trouble, and will expel
worms.
So call to-day at Coursey A Munn’s
drug store, 29 Marietta Street, and
obtain these wonderful Quaker Rem
edies. We, prepay express charges on
all orders of $3 or over.
