IS. YET LISE
By .Toe A pier.
M KM PHIS, TENN., May IB.—
Fuffehner will try to stop the
Trackers’ losing streak to-day,
>\ith Dunn rooeivlng. Bernhard Will
rely on ICroh or Newton to take the
last game of the series.
The Crackers were defeated yester
day in the last two innings, after
having made seven runs.
Smith sent Price, his lone south
paw, to the mound at the start, but
lie weakened in the eighth and was
pounded t<> all corners of the lot.
Musser was put in to check the raily,
but he was wild and passed one man
find made a wild pitch, so Chappelle
was rushed to the rescue and he. too,
wap liberal. The base on balls habit
must be catching, a. w “Big Bill” passed
a man with the bases full and tied
up the game. Then a long sacrifice
fly to center won the game for Mem
phis and we were defeated in another
one of those hard luck games.
Smith changed his batting order
yesterday, but it made no difference.
We could not make enough runs to
win. In the last three games we have
made l! 1 runs, but were defeated in
alJ three.
Wally Smith continues to hit the
hall hard, and he is respected by the
pitchers. He wa.<* given his base on
halls twice yesterday when a hit
meant runs
We are fighting hard to win and
hope to stay above the .500 mark. If
our pitchers can hold the Turtles to
four or five runs we will probably
win to-day's battle.

Georgia Batting Order Is Changed
O O O Q Q O O
Morris Picked to Pitch Saturday
A THENS. DA., May 16.—Since
Georgia has been forced to the
last ditch and has been put on
the defensive by their ancient and
honorable technological rivals in At
lanta, the team and everybody in
Athens have taken on a Napoleonic
spirit and are more determined now
than ever to win the Friday and
Saturday battles.
Hundreds of loyal fans will accom
pany the team to Atlanta Friday
morning, while Saturday the town
will he practically depopulated. A
special train will carry the Georgia
students over for the day.
Coach Plans Attack.
Coach Cunningham is planning his
attack for these games as carefully
as a general would the maneuvers
upon which depended the freedom of
bis country. He lectures to his men
every afternoon ns diligently as n
college professor does to a class of
freshmen and no angle of the ene
my’s style of piny Is escaping his no
tice.
Cunningham has switched his bat
ting order nnd, In the attempt to get
mote effective hitters on the team,
has rammed Bowden in right field
and shoved him into second place in
the batting list. This gives him three
fast men in Ginn, Bowden and Mc
Whorter to “get on,” with Hutchens
and Henderson to hit them in Both
the last two did good work with the
ash in the games here and they are
counted on to keep up their heavy
hatting in Georgia’s last desperate
effort to land the Southern Intercol
legiate Association championship.
Corley Hurls One Game.
Corley will do the hurling in the
first game, while Morris will try to
ledeem himself in the battle Satur
day.
Cunningham stated last night that
there was no foundation for the re
port that Corley would work both
days. The conch considers Morris his
premier hurler and he will be re
lied on to win Saturday's game. Both
have recovered from the fright oc
casioned by their first “big Tech
games” and have steadied down.
Uj>on them Georgia is still staking her
all.
Manager Carter received a chal
lenge from the University of Texas
for a championship series for the
Southeast and Southwest yesterday,
to be pla.\ed early in June in Texas,
but It will hardly be considered by
Georgia, ns the final examinations
are in full blast at that time.
LEAGUE GOSSIP
N
K\V YORK, May 15.—The biggest surprise of the baseball season so far is the Brook
lyn club, which is playing wonderful bull right now. The team is not winning through
luck, but liecau.se it is hitting hard, fielding smoothly and getting good pitching. I
ran into Joe Tinker, the manager of the Cincinnati Beds, the other night after his club
bad met Brooklyn in a couple of games. It is always good to get the angle of a smart
player like Tinker.
“What do you think of Brooklyn,” I asked Tinker.
“They’re diving and taking all kinds of chances,” he replied. “I would rather meet the Giants right now
than the Brooklyn club. The players have got that winning bug, find it gives them self-confidence. You can’t
stop them. I had a man stealing second base by ten feet in the game to*da>, and he took a dive at the bag and
nearly cut my leg off in an effort to make it. That’s what is winning ball games for them. It is the first time
I ever saw such spirit in a Brooklyn
club.”

“Do you think they’ll hold up

A likp a good one. It ts not m.V

elmnee for the championship, hut
there is no fjettlntf around the fact
that the bo.vs are playing hifcli-rlass
baseball now. I haven’t seen them in

wlnnlnx streak, because the (Hants
made out pretty well In the last series
we played across the bridge, hut
Kvers and the rest of the malingers
who have bumped Into Dahlen’s
crowd recently declare they are tnk-
inx all kinds of chances and xettinx
away with them. Two or three of
the pitchers have developed In Rood
shape, too. Rucker, of course, Is a
wonder among left-handers, although
for a long time lie lias always pitch
ed In hard luck and received poor
support. Hagon, Curtis and Stack

W
HAT do you
think of the
continuing our interview.
“Same trouble ns the Cubs had In
llKMl. nnd that the Athletics develop
ed Inst yenr,” ho answered. “There
is too much confidence. The players
co out every day with this thought
tn their minds:
“‘Oh, pshaw, we've got the ball
club. Walt until we once get start
ed 1 We are the goods.’
"And then there will come a time
when they will have to get started
or lose out, and the club won't lie
able to get nwa.v with tt. It Is the
hardest thing In the world for a
manager to contend with this feeling
of snug satisfaction. McGraw Is do
ing nil that he can to correct it. and
he should accomplish his purpose If
anyone can, because he is n game
guy. The (Hants are playing bad
bail now. There is no doubt about
that. The pitchers are not going
well, and no play Is certain.
"Some of the men are taking
throws with one hand when they
could grab the ball with two without
any trouble and make tt sure. I
think McGraw will drive the team
together eventually, and If he does,
it looks like the best club iu the
league to me. It has not the rugged-
ness tt displayed last year, however."
H
inquired.
“Chance and 1 have lieen up
against much the same kind of a
proposition this year. I saw l-’rauk
just before the Yankees left Yew
York for tlielr Western trip and had
a long talk with him.
“‘Joe.’ he said, ‘the club's not In
very good shai>e. but the worst fault
is that, nobody ever made them play
baseball before. No manager ever
rode them since Griffith left. They
have Isnm doing as they pleased, and
1 am trying to make them play my
sort of baseball, and they don’t know
what to make of it. There Is one
pitcher on the club who wants his
four days' rest, and he hollered the
other day because 1 stuck him iu to
finish a game.’
"1 hove a pitcher like that, my
self,” continued Tinker. “He was
one of those onee-ln-every-four-days
boys. After he pitched he didn't
even want to pilt on a uniform the
next afternoon.
" ‘Why, I never had to do it be
fore,’ he protested the first time 1
ordered him to report the next day-
after pitching.
“'Well, you’re going to do it if
you stay with this ball club,' I told
him. ‘I might want you to get out
there and finish a game of ball for
me to-morrow.'
“A lot of the Cincinnati players
won't think. And my pitchers have
gone laid on me. Two of the veter
ans I expected to do the best box
work have fallen down badly. One
lias a sore arm and the other Is out
of condition all around. As soon as
these pitchers work around Into some
kind of shape there should not be
nn.v question about the club climbing.
My hardest job now Is throwing the
fear of discipline into the hearts of
the players. I have Instructed every
man to be In the dining room not
later than half jaist nine each morn
ing when the team Is on the road.
• • •
1 ( (117 HAT do you want, me down
’ » by half past nine for?’
whined one player the other day. ‘We
never had to gat up that early before.'
“ ‘You'll get up that early if you
are going to work for me.’ was my
answer.
“I believe in ball players getting up
early. You cannot expect a man to lie
In bed until noon and then get out
on the field full of ‘pep’ and ready to
play good baseball at 2 or 3 o’clock.
If they sleep late, they are bound to
sit up late, which Is a bad thing, since
late hours lead to the only places
which are open, mostly saloons. I
am uot trying to spring any alibis for
the Cincinnati team, Matty, because I
have pulled some ‘bones' myself since
taking charge, but I am trying to
tench my players baseball.
“If a pitcher looks kind of bad. I’ll
tell a player to go up and take a
strike. He takes It and then looks
over to the bench at me.
“ ‘Go on and hit,’ I nod to him.
“Maybe he swings nnd misses one.
It’s two am} nothing on him. He gets
the count two and two, and then fans
out.
“‘What’s the matter?' I say to him
when he comes back to the bench.
"‘If you'd let me hit that first one,
I’d have knocked it out the lot.' he
answers. ‘It was right where I like
them. No manager ever made me
take one before.’
“It’s tough work polishing off a
team which has had this sort of
training, and it can’t be done in a
month or two. Some of the players
don’t understand why I want them to
take one, nnd then ufter they do they
know they have an alibi for not hit
ting it When they come back to the
bench, and maybe they ain’t up there
fighting all the time. Outside of my
pitching staff, my club looks good, and
we are bound to rise.”
* * *
«P'CNNY, Chance and you should
•T run into the same kind of
going,” said I to Tinker.
”1 saw Mr. Farrell the other day,”
answered Joe, “and we were talking
about Chance.
“ ‘You’ve got the smartest baseball
manager in the world,’ I told the own
er of the New York Americans. ‘Give
him time, and he’ll give you a ball
club.’
“Wait until Chance gets in the
game himself and starts riding those
pitchers out there from first base,”
predicted Jim*, in conclusion. “Just
wait.”

G EORGIA is putting in a strenu
ous week batting and running
bases, according to reports
from Athens. The Tech team, on the
other hand, is leading a quiet though
busy life out at Grant Field.
Coach Heisman is exercising great
care to keep his men from going stale.
This is especially true of the pitchers,
who are Just throwing enough to keep
in trim.
The Jackets were a little weak on
base running and fielding last week,
and these departments, are getting
their quota of attention from Coach
Heisman. Making the little pellet
stick in the pesky glove was another
jinx that seemed to bother the Jack
ets in their contests with the uni
versity hoys, and several times after
men Avere out the ball was dropped.
The Tech players are getting lots of
practice at ‘‘squeezing it” this week
and should show an Improvement.
Tech Hurlers Loafing.
Pitts and Eubanks, the Tech
hurlers, are only keeping their arms
in trim and are saving their best stuff
for the coming games. Pitts will play
right field in one game, probably the
first, and Malone in the other. Pitts
is a good fielder and so far has out-
hit any man on the team. In practice,
Malone is one of the best hitters on
the team, but has failed to get a sin
gle hit the whole season. One rea
son is because he never played a
whole game until the last Georgia
game, but was several times put in
for a pinch hitter.
Team Works on Tricks.
Coach Heisman will probably show
some new tricks in base running and
throws in the games Friday and Sat
urday. The team is practicing some
clever tricks.
Extra seats are being put up now
at Grant Field and there will be a
seating capacity for about 3,000
people.
A new umpire has been chosen—
Harris Cope. He will umpire both
games.
Eubanks Works Friday.
It is settled that Eubanks will twirl’
the first game and Pitts will work on
Saturday. Attrldge will be behind the
AMERICUS BASEBALL TEAM
UNDERGOES BIG SHAKE-UP
AMERICUS, GA., May 15.—The
material strengthening to-day of the
Amerlcus team of the Empire League
restores interest and confidence here
to a considerable extent.
Jesse Wolfe has been secured from
Albany by purchase, and will lead off
in the box at Thomasville to-day.
' The Americus management has
likewise secured an excellent second
bapeman in Paigue. Hamlin comes
here from the Cotton States League
as shortstop.
The release of Pitchers Smith and
Pruitt is announced to-day. Hal
Gritfin, recently appointed temporary
manager to succeed Manager Harris
Weber, will probably be retained per
manently in that capacity.
bat in both contests for the Jackets
Amaj-un on first base is playing in
good form and during last week’s se
ries displayed some up-to-the-minute
stuff. He is fast developing into a
ready successor to the one and only
‘‘Goat” Holliday. He has the “beef,”
but ground balls are not hard for him
to hah. He spears them right and left
and has as long a reach as was ever
seen on Grant Field. For a first-year
man he is decidedly cool and collected
and doesn’t blow up. He is swatting
the pill some, too. LaBt week he hit
for what looked like extra bases al
most every time Up, but each time
McWhorter laid way back in the
shadows and gathered them all in.
It is thought that comparatively few
extra base hits will be made on the
Jackets’ diamond, owing to the level
ness of the field and the closeness of
the banks which form this amphi
theater. The outfield is soft and not
packed down and a ball does not roll
as It should. However, If % ball does
chance to be batted over the out
fielders’ heads’, it is good for two sacks
anyway, and for a fast man, more.
“Scrappy” Moore managed to land
on the spheroid for one homer on
Grant Field, and several others for
triplets; so extra base hits are not
impossible.
