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.

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. HELP ILLINOIS Bv Edward J. Geiger > 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. (Signed) “FRANCIS S. O’NEIL.” HAGGIS TAKES MAT BOUT.

Eubanks, p Clements, ss. 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. <*1^ fiE A PLtXJ OF SLED<iP -HAMMEQ CHE win TOBACCO YOU SPEAK TO AN ADMIRAL LlkE TPAT‘ HITS I I MBTWJDT COLUMN* 9 T T 1 By Joe Aglta*. 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 ire going after the New Orleans team to-day with A1 Furehner on the slab. Dunn vfill receive.

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 [.eague failed to appear for a scheduled game. The umpire noi only declared the contest forfeited, but announced that he had taken tile franchise away also. * * * ^CREAKING of foxy managers.” re- ^ marked an American Associa 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©.’ ” * * * A JURY has given Jack O’Connoi i verdict for $5,000 against th 1 owner of the St. Louis Browns. Nat urally It required twelve men to sep arate a baseball magnate from that much kale.

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.
