CORLEY TD-DAY
FODDER FOR FANS
The Jack O’Connor case seems to
have set a precedent that a contract
which is binding on a manager also
binds a ball club.
* * *
This is strictly against the rules of
organized baseball which provide that
a contract hinds only a player—and
the club owners can do as they durn
please,
* * *
The Cracker club bad an awful joke
on Ed Donnelly, the Hold-Out Kid, as
long as the hurlers were going all right.
Right now Edward seems to have the
better of the jesting.
• • •
Hohnhorst is playing fine ball for
Jack O’Connor’s Federal League team.
But when the Federal blows “Hohny”
will have to pay a fat fine to get back
into organized baseball.
The hold-out kids are doing variously.
Ty Cobb is going pretty strong, Rube
Marquard pretty weak.
* ♦ *
Players are getting mighty careful
of their language. In the old days they
used to yell “I got it.” Later they
switched to “I have it.” Now thev sing.
•Til tackle it. ,:
* * *
Clyde Milan’s brother, Horace, may
be carried by the Senators this year
in the hope that he will gradually de
velop into a ball player.
* * •
Jim Thorpe figures as a Giant chiefly
on the first and fifteenth of every month
* * *
The two Cleveland farms Toledo and
()r ^ eans - are fairing badly this year.
Charley Sommers will have to make
a million off the Naps to pay bis minor
league losses,
* * *
New York is playing in hard luck.
Not only are the Glanis and the Yanks
pretty much to the bad but the metrop
olis has ben forced to forfeit its fran
chise in the United States League.
• • •
Gould Manafee. the Washington lad,
once owned by the Crackers, is catch
ing good ball for the Charleston club.
Sally League folks say he is due to
go up this fall.
• * * *
HUMBLE BROTHERS OF WELL-
KNOWN GENTS—Paul Cobb. Joe Ev
ers. Hank Mathcwson. Horace Milan
and .Tim Magee—not to mention Martin
Walsh.
Dale Gear, ex-Sou them Leaguer, is
batting .321 for Topeka.
* * *
McGraw. of the Giant*, ig wondering
just now if he did not make a small
sized mistake in releasing Outfielder
'Beals’' Becker to the Reds. Becker
made five hits yesterday, is pounding
the ball at a terrific clip and fielding
in sensational style.
* * *
‘‘Smokev Joe” Wood, the Red Sox
’wirier, who led the American League
last year, is wearing a smile for the
first time this season. He pitched yes
terday, the team batted behind him,
and Joe has wedged his way into the
’’games won” column.
Talkative baseball managers have
come to woe this season. McGraw, of
the Giants, has been twice "shooed” off
the field for “sassing” umpires, and
Evers, of the Cubs; Chance, of the Yan
kees; Stovall, of the Browns; Dahlen,
of the Dodgers, and Tinker, of the Reds,
have either been chased off the field
or suspended.
* * *
The Reds yesterday "blew-” themselves
to in hits.
Home runs were made yesterday by
the following: Zimmerman. Cubs; Ko-
netchy, Cardinals; Connolly, Braves;
Wheat' and Davbert. Dodgers; Wagner.
Pirates, and Speaker ami Y’erkes’, Red
Sox.
One of the biggest crowds in base
ball history is expected to turn out in
Chicago on Saturday—“Frank Chance
day”—when the old Chicago leader will
be formally welcomed. All the reserved
seats have hpen sold. Some have fallen
into the hands of speculators and are
bringing from $7 to $10 each.
* * *
The Dodgers and Cardinals game ves-
terday developed into a fine old slugging
match, each team annexing 15 hits.
* * *
For nearly two weeks the Dodgers
have been ready to jump into first place,
but every day they win the Phillies do
I likewise Twice in a week the Phillies
have gone to extra innings lo grab off
the game that continued them in the
leading position.
* * *
Falkenberr that bald-headed twirler
who was chased from the majors a
number of years ago because he was too
old and altogether worn out. won his
seventh straight game of the season
for the Naps yesterday, shutting out
the Athletics.
The charge that New Yorkers are par
tial to the home team in their rooting
is disproved. No man was ever ac
corded a greater ovation than was Mor-
decai Brown, the old Cub twirler. when
he appeared in the box at the Polo
grounds during the Cincinnati series,
and yesterday when Wagner smashed
out a home run that clinched the de
feat of the Giants the big crowd rose
to its feet, throwing hats into the air
and shrieking plaudits to the “grand old
man” of baseball.
GIANTS RELEASE JOE EVERS-
NEW YORK. May 16.—Manager
McGraw, of the New York National
League team, unconditionally released
Joe Evers, brother of the manager
of the Chicago National League team.
Joe Evers was taken South on the
GlaMs spring trip at his brother’s
recommendation. He got into one
eague game as a pinch runner after
returning to New York.

C HICAGO, May 16.—Francis S.’
O’Neil, chairman of the New
York State Athletic Commis
sion. which board governs boxing
matches of that State, to-day sent a
wire here offering his aid to the
State legislators in their endeavor to
pass the boxing bill now* before
the House. O’Neil Is one of Gotharrt s
most prominent lawyers. He makes;
it clear in his telegram to one of
Chicago’s prominent sporting men
that he has no other object in mind
other than an earnest endeavor
to perpetuate the game in this State.
He intimates that he would come
to this State and take the stump in
advocating the passage of the meas
ure. As chairman of the New York
Commission he feels that he can
show to those hostile to the bill its
value, botn to the State and to the
business men. O’Neil has facts and
figures which he says are convincing
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Part of his wire follows:
“Packey McFarland,” Chicago.
“I am willing to go to Springfield
and address those who are opposed
to the boxing bill now before your
Legislature and show why it should
be supported instead of opposed. I
have figures which will prove that
the game in our State netted the
State close to $50,000 over all ex
penses and that it has helped busi
ness greatly.
“I am sure I can convince those
who are undecided as to whether to
support the bill or not. I am doing
this for no good that it will bring
me but for personal regard to you,
a credit to the game uind in an ear
nest endeavor to perpetuate boxing
in your State. The success we have
achieved now makes our bill a nec
essity.

rp EUH and Georgia engage this
I afternoon-in the- third battle of
the four-game aeries between
the two collages. The V ellow Jack
ets upset all dope during the first
two games by wiiyiing both, When it
was almost settled, at lejust it was by
Georgia supporters, that Tech would
not even have a look-in and that
Georgia would tally as many runs in
one inning as''Tech would during the
entire series.
Well, 1t happened that * lech added
up nine runs Jo their opponents
seven, and again previous dope was
knocked sky-high.
It has been stated that overconfi
dence was what ujpket the Georgia
team. But it was really fight that
did it. Tech journeyed to Athens
with fight on their mind, in their
veins and in their uttered w ords. They
started off with a dash, and had their
opponents outclassed in “pep.” It
was a case of surprise, and the Red
and Black warriors wrere not used to
having this uncorked on them, for
no previous team had been able to
get the Jump on them.
The Jackets will attempt the satrii
method this afternoon when they
again face the same team on Grant
Field at 3; 30 o’clock.
Harris Cope, former Hewanee coach,
will hold the indicator, and it is ex
pected that lie will meet with better
favor by all than the plan of having
two players, as was experienced dur
ing the first games.
Tech le Out to Win.
It might be said that the Tech play
ers are going into the game to win,
but the Athens boys will, too, go into
to win. and the result will be a great
battle from the start.
Eubanks will be on the mound this
afternoon and will probably be faced
by Corley. Both are too well known
to followers of baseball to have their
fine points told.
Pitts, the Jacket southpaw, will be
in the box to-morrow and will* lie
opposed by Morris The Georgians
were unsuccessful In their struggle
against l’itts and were unable to hit
him freely. He kept their hits well
scattered and at all times was mas
ter of the game.
A typical college crowd will be on
hand for the game with their gay col
ors. pretty feminine rooters and yell
ing ’’studes." The entire rooting de
partment of the local college has been
rehearsing yells the past week, and,
coupled with the confidence they
place in their own players, they will
be behind the team and give them
their heartiest support.
Tech Will Have Band.
Tech's prize-winning band, led by
Mike Greotiblat, will be on hand to
add to the attraction, and when they
start off on “Rambling Wreck” the
fun will begin and the students will
arise to the moment and burst forth
in voluminous lungfuls for their team.
Nearly the entire body of univer
sity students will come over Satur
day morning in an attempt to land
the last game irrespective of the out
come of the game to-day. They will
come over In a special train headed
by their band ami followers of the
team, and alumni will meet them at
the station.
Ample accommodations have been
made for a record*-breaking crowd ut
Grant Field in the erection of bleach
ers along first and third bases, in ad
dition to the laigeigrandHtand.

N EW ORLEANS, I.A, May 16.—I
don’t know whether it is a
league record or not, but I’d
like to cal’ attention to the fact that
Wally Hmith made nine straight hits
up to the time be fifod cut to Baer-
wald In the middle of the game yes
terday and we closed the series w’lth
a victory, 6 to 4. after a string of
three defeats.
Smith’s work was marvelous. He
was laid up with a sprained ankle, yeti']
remember, and didn’t break back into
the game until Monday.
But his last time up against Mont
gomery he made a single. Then he
brock back Tuesday with five hits.
Here is his full record:
This Was Swell Hitting.
Hat unlay, against Manning, one hit.
Tuesday, against Harrell, five hits.
Wednesday, against Kissinger and
Harrell, 2 hits (the other times he
faced the pitcher they walked him. .n
a pinch).
Thursday, against Kroh, 1 hit.
Total, 9 In euccesslon.
I guess that mark will last a few
days. From all we can learn It is a
record.
Smith reached first base twelve
consecutive time© in the Memphis se
ries. Eight of the excursions were
made on safe hits, two on bases on
halls and two on wild pitches which
struck his person. It remained for tho
Jlnxifylng Influences of the number
13” to halt the brazen doings of the
Atlanta star, for on his thirteenth trip
to the pan he filed out to right field.
■Did 1 say we won yesterday from
Memphis? Well, we sure did, and we

J AS. E. SULLIVAN, the I ;oh Bah
of American amateur athletics,
has again been shocked. The. first
time was at the discovery that Jim
Thorpe, the Indian, was a professional
Instead of an amateur. On that occa
sion, Mr. Sullivan sent the only mes
sage that was ever Indicted "to '.he
nations of the earth" by any poten
tate except the Pope at Rome.
This time his inward horror and
outward agitation has been caused by
the discovery that girls in Southe n
California and elsewhere take part In
general athletics, wearing—but ho v
can we say this with delicacy? You
know swimming In an absence of
skirts and such.
In the last number of the Los An
geles Athletic Club “Mercury.” M-.
Sullivan is quoted as saying that lie
does not believe in the participation
of women in general athletics. He
says that he believes in physical ex
ercises by women but he suggests that
they should pull off their athletic
competitions somewhere hv them
selves and not Rt the same meets
where men are to compete.
Although the Mercury” interviews
stops there, Sullivan w’ent further in
talking with several newspaper men.
He expressed his particular disap
proval of the mixed swimming eon -
petitions in which women swim in
rather vague and chilly costumes.
He sail! that he thought the minis
of the spectators were distracted from
the purely athletic character of til 1
swimming meets by the participation
of these Veil lisps in swimming trunks.
He would favor, he said, all women’s
athletic meets being eonduete 1
strictly by themselves.
* • •
“'T WO gentlemen entered a cafe and
■ they could not agree as to who
should treat.’* explains Mr. Crowel .
“To decide the argument they tossed
a coin—naturally, one of them lost
and paid. The next day they got into
a discussion as to who had bough*
the last drink, and in the course of
the argument they made a wager, one
contending that the man who won the
toss was the purchaser, and the other
contending that the loser had bought.
Now. who in your opinion bought the
drink—the man who lost and paid or
the man who won? This is certainly a.
question—a grave question—to decide.
In the first place the logic speaks for
itself. For Instance, when two (gen
tlemen) enter a cafe it i© usually cus
tomary for them to engage In an ar
gument over who shall buy. and fail
ing they match for it. But the big
question Involved is whether if you
lose a bet you win and if you w in you
lose. If you bought the first drink,
to make it more explicit, were you
the last man to treat, or Is there sti’l
an obligation resting upon your shoul
ders?# The law of gambling Is that
where you can’t win you can’t lose,
and If you lose by winning then vpu
are ultimately a loser. On the oth *r
hand, you can’t lose where you can’t
win, and If you win by losing the
same rule applies. In thl© case the
man who bought the last drink had
lost as well as being a winner, and if
he is called upon to buy the next he
is a double loser and a one time win
ner. while at the same time the man
who won would be a loser anil a two
time winner also if he had to kick
in.”
* * *
W HILE passing around all the bou
quets for Walter Johnson and
Ghristy Mathewson. what’s the mat
ter with Harry Sallee, the star south
paw of the Cardinals?
Prior to the fifth Inning of Mon
day’s game with the Braves Sal had
not given a base on balls, owning a
record of 40 rounds without passing
a man.
Then Harry became “wild” and
walked Bill Sweeney, one of the most
dangerous batters in the National
League with men on bases.
* For a southpaw this is a very goo 1
record, one base on balls in 41 in
nings, as the side-wheelers general
ly are wild men. But this is not the
case with Sal. He can put the bad
where he wants it and no one will
deny it.

A TEAM li: the United States

tion player, “here’s one on Mike Ua.i-
tillon Two of the players had be ‘ l
late in getting down to the bus one
afternoon and the team was forced t<
depart without them. They came out
on a street car later.
The next afternoon, on the way
out to the park, one of the tardy ones
turned to Mike and remarked; Mike
I had to pay my car fare out to th*
park yesterday, and you owe me 5
cents.’
’Mike looked at him with a rather
cold eye and inquired in a low, but
rather chilled steel voice: ‘Do you
really want that nickel after being
late and breaking the club rule about
getting to the bus?’
“‘Sure, I want that nickel.’ replied
the athlete. T had* to pay it out of my
own pocket, and the club should stand
for It.’
“‘All right.’ remarked Miguel, as
he dug iu> the nickel and handed it
to him. ‘Here’s your 5 cen' and with
it goes a $26 fine fqr being t©.’ ”

T-'RANK WHITNEY, the "Fighting
Carpenter,” w ell known to local
boxing fans and popular here
abouts because of his clean-cut meth
ods, sends the following telegram:
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, May 15.—
Mrs. Whitney died here Wednes
day after a sickness that lasted
three years.
FRANK WHITNEY.
Frank Whitney has only been fight
ing about three years. He did not go
into the game because he liked it. He
was a carpenter by trade, but when
Mrs. Whitney was stricken with con
sumption Frank realized that he cou : d
not earn enough money at carpentry
to give her the proper medical atten
tion that she needed.
Frank had done some boxing and
believed that he could make a good
living at the game. When the family
physician called one dav and diag
nosed Mrs. Whitney’s illness as con
sumption, Frank closed up his car
penter shop and started training
fights.
Defeats Battling Nelson.
He won his first out, his second, his
third and twenty others. Then he
came to Atlanta and he won consist
ently, his greatest achievement being
when he deefated Battling Nelson at
the Auditorium-Armory. 0
And every cent that P^rank earned
he sent home. He kept just enough
to buy him a bed and three squares a
day. Many of his profession here '.n
the city called him a “chinch,” “cheap
guy,” etc. And just because Frank
didn’t carouse around with them and
spend his hard-earned money foolish-
ly.
Instead. PTank sent his earnines
home. He took his wife to nearly
every expert in the country. He took
her to Arizona, to California, to Den
ver, but the dread disease refused ’o
be checked.
Whitney fought three battles here
the first of the year. His bit in those
three amounted to about $1,600. And
$1,500 of that was spent for diamonds
and other trinkets that a woman loves
sb much.
“My wife can’t live much longer,’
he told me after the Nelson fig’D,
“but, by jiijgo, she is going to have
everything she wants w-hile she does
live.”
Fought For His Wife.
For the past three years PYank
Whitney. who detested fighting,
fought for his wife. He saw to it that
she had* t he best of everything. And
yet some of the “low-lives” of the
game called him a “chinch” and a
“cheap guy.”
Perhaps now that they'realize the
truth the> will admire him. Surely,
a more gentlemanly, straight-forwar I,
clean-living chap never paid a visit
here.
And the condolence of local boxing
fans go out to PYank Whitney in his
bereavement.
