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.

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 from (lie Pirates last week, with Wagner in both battles, Referee Usually Correct +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ Defends Charley Eyton 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.

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? GANDIL’S FOOT IS BRUISED.
