of Manager John Evers and the
trainer:

GRIFFIN SUCCEEDS WEBER
AS AMERICUS MANAGER
AMERICAS. GA.. May 12.—The
Americus ball team left yesterday for
Waycross in charge of First Baseman
llal 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
bad 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 flag perceptibly, although a
winning streak would quickly restore
enthusiasm.
WILLIAMS AND BETCHER

■E\> YORK, Mn.v 12. After the first week of the invasion of the East by the Western
clubs of the National longue, one thing is very apparent. The East, as a wliole. is
stronger than the West this year, hiit that ilia's not necessarily Indicate the pennant
winner will be a product of the East. (
At first, it was thought there would tie only two clubs in the East that could put up any
kind of a front against the Western teams which were rated to lie strong. These two were
New York and Philadelphia, but now Brooklyn has come through with the ttest-looking team
that has lieen developed In years across the bridge. Boston is also playing good enough hull.
* * •
I WANT to pause for a minute to discuss Boston and Pittsburg. Behind the Beaneaters this year is a shrewd
manager, one who is building. "Chief” Stallings is picking up all the likely ball players lie 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 ho 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, lias long tieen the victim
of its own sluggishness. Stirlings is
trying to add a little speed to his
club. He realities its value. With this
notion in mind, he weut 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,"
tlie "ChiQf’ told us when we were in
Boston in the early part of Ihe seu-
son, and he wasn’t punning on the
name, either.
• • •
S TAI.LINGS has also picked up
“Dick" Rudolph, the pitcher of
Ihe International Dengue, ahd once a
member of the Giants 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 ij; a reflection of the Stab
lings style. When tile 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 lighting, as proved by the fact
they took two extra inning games

A
BOPT Hie Pittsburg club, I do
not know what to say. i have
not seen ihe team play this year so
far. hot from the gossip in the league
and Hie box scores, it is evident that
the club is all off its balance. The
return of Wagner is going to help the
team a whole lot, hut Clarke’s great
est disappointment is the failure of
his pitchers to come through. Before
the season, the Pittsburg pitching
stalT was regarded as one of the best
in the league, if not Ihe very best,
both li.v the players themselves and
by the newspaper writers who follow
the teams. Many times ball players
will approve a man whom the gen
eral public and the writers cannot
see. For instance, Fletcher, formerly
the shortstop of the Giants, was gen
erally rated more highly by ball play
ers than by the general public and
writers. They know ids ground-cov
ering ability, and he has the finest
pair of hands I ever saw on a ball
player.

H I T. in return to the Pittsburg
staff. Hendrix, who led tby
league last year; Adams, Robinso i,
O'Toole and Camnity. sound like a
collection of world t>eaters. You'd
think it would only be necessary to
have one of those names announced
as the Pittsburg pitcher, and the
game would lie over. Not one of
these men lias Iteeu going smoothly
thts year. Hendrix has been wild,
and O'Toole has been wild, ntid the
staff has lH'oti generally out of shape.
O'Toole is back at his old job of losing
games by one run. 1 guess he holds
the record for this jointly with "Nap" I
Rucker.
• • •
•plIK Pirates were rated as a great
• slugging team liefore the season,
it was on the peerless pitching and
slambang slugging they were to ride
through the league to an early pen
nant, because even the members of
the club themselves concede that the
team lacks speed. But the pitcher^
would hold the opposing teams to one
or two runs, and the Pittsburg boys
would pile up many with their bats,
and there would be a nice little ball
game for .Mr. Clarke all wrapiietl up
in cotton batting and tin foil to lie
put in the moth balls. However, the
pitchers have lieen permitting many
runs, and the batters have not been
slugging; and the race is not de
stroyed yet.
"'The Pirates condition slowly. Walt
until the warm weather sets in,” a
Pittsburg rooter whispered into my
ear the other day.
It will do the team little good to
round inlo form along in September.
It is m.v honest opinion that the eluti
is going to get on the move one of
these days and kick up a lot of dust.
It yet will be a trouble maker iu the
league, because those pitchers are
sure to begin to twirl and Ihe bat
ters to hit. Therefore, it pleases the
Giants immensely to see the Pirates
crowded down as far as possible at
this stage, especially as we are not up
any too high in the ladder of the
club standing ourselves.

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 renders 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.
• * •
LIOW many times have you sat at
1 * the 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 Loa
Angeles is being "panned” for call
ing the Dundee-Kilbane bout a draw.
The press reports tell us that tho
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 so far amiss. That,
at any rate, is my guess.
* ♦ *
TF the verdict was not in accord
1 ance with the facts, then Kilbane
has but himself to blame. His stal
ling tactics are quite unbecoming fo
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 lie 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?
