IT TECH Git
By Percy II. Whiting
I K the Tech athletic authorities es
cape through to-day without kill
ing anybody it will be the mercy
of Providence—and no thanks to
anybody else.
If the weather is anything like
half-way good at game time there
will be a smashing crowd at Grant
Held to witness the Jnal game of
the college season. And that crowd
will have no more protection from
wild hits and wild throws than as
though they were tied to the pitch
er’s slab.
Yesterday It was a miracle nobody
was Injured.
Almost every Inch of the space be
hind the catcher’s box was crowded
with enthusiasts—many of them
women. Ball after ball went crash
ing through that crowd with light
ning speed. One fan—a gray haired
man unable to dodge rapidly w r as
struck above the eye by a foul, and
went bleeding In search of a doctor.
After his wound had been dressed
he courageously remained to see it
out—through one eye
That women or children w f ere not
hurt was sheer, providential luck.
They were absolutely unprotected.
“\X7E did the best we could." the
W Tech authorities will no doubt
say, "we have a new field and we
have not been able to Install wire
netting's and enough seats to look out
for the fHns In safe places."
True. BUT:
1- The game could have been play
ed at Ponce Dala-on, where ample
protection is afforded
2 The police and the attendants
could have kept clear, at least of
women, and children the ZONES of
EXTRA DANGER which lie behind
the catcher's box and Immediately
beside the first ami third base lines
"It would cost money to play the
games at Ponce." will be urged, ‘and
we must pay for the new plant."
True also, but are the lives of
women and children to he balanced
against gnte receipts?
Protection should be afforded the
patrons of baseball games
College authorities are all too like
ly to forget the reasons why they are
playing baseball—that It Is for the
development of the bodies of their
students and for the promotion of
frlendlv athletic rivalry between the
colleges Bui when they risk lives
they are going too far.

PREP LEAGUE NOTES
Marlst will lose some baseball stars
this year by graduation. Allen, fh#> star
third baseman, and Callahan, of pitch
ing fame, will receive their sheepskins
Both boys have annourieed their Inten
tion to enter college in the fall.
♦ * *
Sam Armisteud will enter Tech In the
fall and should prove a good man for
the backstop position there on next
year’s baseball team in case Attridge
should not return. Armisteud is now
catching for Boys High and is the lead
ing batter in the league.
* • *
Donald Fraser School, of Decatur, will
enter the Atlanta ITeparatory Associa
tion next year if present plans carry.
This would make the league a six-team
organization and would tend to make
things more Interesting
• * *
The coaches of the different prep
schools in this city are already looking
around for football prospects for nexT
fall. Boys High appears to have the
best material at this stage, but Tech
High is expecting some good material
In the fall
Following is the, standing of the teams
in the Bmory College class games:
Won Lost PC.
Freshmen 6 2 750
Sophomores 6 2 .714
Seniors 2 4 .333
Juniors • • • 1 6 142
Seven games still remain to be played.
• ♦ *
Jean Weston, of Tech High, ought to
be the best pitcher In the local Prep
Iseague next year Weston pitched great
ball In the only two games he was In
the box this season and with a little
more experience should be a sensation.
* * •
There are but ft few games still to be
played In the Inter-class baseball tour
nament at Emory College So far the
Freshmen are leading with the Sopho
mores so close behind that a slip at this
time by the freshies would throw them
into second place.
* • *
Two games were played on Thursday.
The Freshmen took a game from the
Seniors and the Sophs trimmed the
Juniors. The score in the tlrst game
was 2 to 1, and the second contest
ended with the score 7 to 1 in favor
of the Sophs.
Gordon ami Stone Mountain are fight
ing it out for second place in the G. I.
A A. race. Thursday, at Barnesville,
Gordon beat the Mountaineers 4 to 2
in one of the best games played there
this season.
• * •
Pitcher Fox, of Boys High, will prob
ably be with one of the city league
teams this summer. Fox is the best
pitcher in the local Prep league this
season ana should make good on any
nine in the city.

The first ' of file three-game series
between Kormwalt and Bogewood for
the Grammar School championship of
this city was won by Kormwalt Thurs
day afternoon, 3 to 0 Smith, the Form-
wait twirler, fanned 16 hatters. Wal
lace, of the losers, whiffed 12. These
two nines will play again Monday
• * *
Brown, Babb and Solano, of G M. A.,
are the only men who showed any
class this season on the baseball team.
Babb is a good third baseman and So
lano is a fine shortstop, although he is
a bit too small to be able to do much
at the bat. Brown does the catching
for the cadets and Is the steadiest
player on the team.
• • •
G. M. A. had a mighty poor season
in the Prep league this year The
team finished last with one victory and
six defeatP. In the past G. M A. has
always been in the running in the race
but now it appears as though they are
outclassel entirely.
• • •
The schools in the Prep League turned
out in a body Friday afternoon to see
the Terh-Georgia game. The students of
Marlst were especially Interested in the
game as an old star of Marlst Is play
ing with the Red and Black. George
Harrison was one of the best second
saokers that ever went to school at
Marlst.

Devastating floods are sweeping
Queensland as the result of torrential

Blimt NELSON
A CORKING semi-windup for the
Jim Flynn-Jlm Savage bout at
the * Auditorium-Armory on
June 9 was clinched this morning
when Mike Saul and Terry Nelson
agreed on terms for a ten-round mill.
Here is a match that should be the
greatest slugging affair ever held in
an Atlanta ring.
Mike gave up boxing about a year
ago to referee. Now he wants to
get back In the game again But his
“come back” will be a tough one, for
Nelson Is one of those fellow’s who
care« nothing about boxing. He
wants to slug from the first tap of
the gong until the end.
Mike, however, Is the same sort of
a chap. He doesn’t know very much
about the clever end of the game, but
he packs an awful kick in that left
hand. Mike had knocked out about
everybody he has met. Atlanta fans
thought he was a coming champion
until he bumped up against Jake
Abel. Abel won the fight in seven
rounds, but Mike has always claimed
that he wasn’t right that night. At
that, Saul floored Abel four times
before he was beaten. It was a des
perate mill.
Saul will start training Monday. He
has selected the Metropolitan Club
as his training camp. When Flynn
arrives he will probably train with
Mike. Nelson will do most of his
work In Chattanooga, coming over
to Atlanta about three days before
the bout to put on the finishing
touches.
Another ten-round bout will prob
ably be arranged for to-day. It
the plan of the promoters to stage
three ten-rounders, all of which w r ould
prove headliners at most any club.

Sports and Such
the sober and unsmiling
opening of the new Federal League
in the Middle West was somewhat
offset by the amusement of the
big league magnates of established
position, who laughed until they
were sick. But looking into its
aims and ancestry the new league
isn t such a whale of a joke.
* * *
THING that makes it ex
cruciatingly funny to the present
crop of moguls Is that It stands for
J5-cent baseball. It doesn’t believe
that the national game has degen-
erated to the point where It l.s only
for "a better class of patronage."
It Is not starting with a splurge
and does not expect to make money
for the first two years.
* * *
THE FIGURES on expenses for
the new league give you some Idea
of how much bunk there is in "the
higher cost of baseball. It Is a
six-team league, with clubs in Chi
cago, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Cov
ington, Indianapolis and Cleveland
The admission charges will be 30
cents for the best seats and 25
cents for the larger part of the
seating arrangements. Yet on this
basis, which Is eminently fair and
proper, the promoters figure they
can break even on a season if they
average an attendance of 1,500 at
each game, or 1,056.000 for the sea
son. This Is probably a little more
than two-thirds of the baseball at
tendance in Greater New York
alone when the teams are doing
fairly well.

TO BE CORRECT

Food for Sport Fans
£
By GEORGE E. PHAIR.
A NYONE who turns back the
musty pages of baseball his
tory and notes closely cannot
fall to discover tha* nearly all Die
pennant winners o2 previous vears
had one catcher on their roster who
has done the bulk of the receiving
through the previous season.
Sullivan caught the most games fo-
the White Sox when they copped ;n
1906. Schmidt was king bee receiver
for the Detroit Tigers in 1907. Kling
was the man most prominent behind
the bat when the Cubs turned the
pennant winning trick in 1908.
Gibson did the heavy work through
out 1900, the year Pittsburg came on*
first. Meyers was the whole -show in
1912. when the Giants won out.
This fact leads immediately to the
uuestlon as to whether or not it is
better for one catcher to do nil the
work, or to distribute the receiving
equally among three or four men.
The one-catcher-for-all-games the
ory, hard as It is on the man who is
scheduled to work every day, seems,
from the standpoint of experience, to
be the best. Still, there are argu
ments both ways.
Says i* Wears Man Out.
One side contends that to have one
player work all the time tends to
wreak havoc with the club if h“
should be hurt. Again, this side
maintains that some receivers handle
one pitcher better than they do an
other. Lastly, it is declared thr.t
catching day after day wears a man
out.
Opponents- of this side reply to the
first argument to the effect that it
rarely happens for o'ne catcher doing
the bulk of the work, to be out for
a very long time: and that the other
catchers tire well able to take care
of the backstopping until the bast
man comes back.
To the second contention the an
swer is made that if a catcher is a
good man, he should be able to handle
all shoots, come from whomsoever
they may. They illustrate this with
the case of Walter Johnson, whose
effectiveness was said to be doom-d
with the release of Charley Street.
Yet when Street w as released to New
York, John Henry did just as well
Thirdly, It is declared tha,t catch
ing every day hasn’t worn out any
star to any great extent yet, the ma
jority of receivers being physically
able to endure hard work.
Both sides have able contentions.
There have been instances in the his
tory of the game, undoubtedly, when
the absence of a star backstop, fro -1
Injury or other causes, has rendered
ineffective the pitchers, everything
being restored to equanimity when
the veteran donned the "stuff” again.
Pitchers Show Preference.
There have been instances, too,
when pitchers seemed to have work
ed better with a particular catcher
behind the plate. Blanding maintains
he likes Steve O’Neill as a receiver
as he always seems to work bet'er
with the stocky Pennsylvania lad
than with any of the others.
And there have been illustrations
where hard work has killed a good
catcher. There are some who always
will maintain that Johnson’s terrific
shoots, handled uncomplainingly day
after day by Street, finally broke the
former Washington star backstop s
great endurance, and were the cause
of his being sent back to New York
whence he later drifted to Chatta
nooga.
It is'an open fact that inflelders
work most successfully when there 's
a man handling the pitcher’s shoots
in whom they have entire confidence
—a confidence born of steady and
continuous work week in and we:k
out.
They know where his weak points
are (and each receiver has one or
two failings, slight as they may ba)
and are constantly on the lookout for
them.
The same principle seems to applv
to a catcher as it does to an infielder
himself. If the latter Is disabled in
any way the substitution of a utility
man tends to demoralize the team
play.

The shades of night were falling fast
When from a baseball yard there
passed
A youth who held his nose and cried
In tones that echoed far and wide:
”Roquefort/”
”Hold not thy beak” the umpire said.
“Hut beat it to the coop instead!”
'The youth obeyed, hut on his way
He lingered long enough to say:
“Camembcrt!”
lie lingers now in yonder stand,
And holds his beak within his hand.
And while his comrades get their
bumps
He mutters at the distant umps:
“Edam!”
In ancient days it was the stunt
To win the game with clout and bunt,
Iiut now it seems the proper way
To turn upon the umps and say:
”Cheese!”

the nutriments obtained from grain,
meat, fats, sugars, or any other part
of our daily food is to the natural
reconstructive requirements of the
tissues. And there is one component
of S. S. S. which serves the active
purpose of stimulating the cellular
tissues of the kidneys fo a healthy
and judicious selection of Its own
essential nutriment. Thus, in cases
of rheumatism, cystitis, chronic sore
throat, huskiness of voice, bronchi
tis, asthma, and the myriad of other
reflex indications of weak kidney ac
tion, first purify your blood with S
S. S. so it will enable the tissues to
rebuild their cellular strength and re
gain their normal health.

Specific Co., 137 Swift Bldg., Atlanta,
Ga., and if you have.any deep-seated
or obstinate blood trouble, write to
