d 4 THE ATLANTA OFOPCI AND NEWS, O Bv J. W. Heisimn. U NTIL last week it had been Io*k ainoe I had seen a name of either foot ball or baseball between any of the preparatory school teams of the State. But on the 19th and 20th last 1 slipped down to Milledgeville to see i the (Georgia Military College team of [that place lock horns with the team I from the Riverside Military Academy | of Gainesville. ! Well. I witnessed both games, and it I won’t take me long to say that they were good games, splendid, both of them. There was fast, clean fielding, excellent base running, fair batting, fine pitching and considerable inside baseball. Riverside won both games, each by a score of 2 to 0. The pitch ing of all four hurlers, Williamson and Haines for Riverside, and ramp and Gheesling for G. M. C.. was Im pressively good, and it averaged in ef fectiveness but little below the aver age of what the college teams showed this year, if any. Riverside seemed stronger with the stick than G. M. 0.. which was, perhaps, the principal rea son why they got away with the big end of the scoring. N f OW, I had heard more than one rumor to the effect that the Kh erside team was made up of a bunch of "ringers.” Among others the Wake . Forest players had given me solemn , assurance of this. Recalling that j Wake Forest has since been black- listed for having three profes- j sional players on its roster this now i strikes me as a good place to giggle. (It will also be remembered that the j Riverside team .held Wake Forest to j a 6-6 tie game). Quite prepared was f. therefore, to see on the Riverside line-up a bunch ! of matured men. some of them giving ovary evidence of life among profes sionals. most of them omitting sul phurous language every time they opened their mouths, chewing tobacco like demons and putting up a brand of baseball few college teams In th* country could hope to duplicate Did [ See these things? No, none of them, and nothing like it. In the first place they were clearly and indubitably all young boys with one possible excep tion, and he not over 21 years of ag» They all dressed neatly and In excel lent taste. They talked like your av erage well behaved and schooled Prep They played surprisingly good bill for such youngsters, but. nothing like what professionals, even in Class D. play. I tell you they were BOVS, nothing else. What is a ‘‘ringer?” Any one of a lot of things makes a “ringer.” True, they may still have been lingers in the sense that they were not bona fide students, were at Riverside onl\ to play ball and never to study; but don’t believe that for one minute, they didn’t look the part. As for ever having played in professional leagues, or ANY of them ever hav ing received any hut the most trifling recompense for any past playing, that was even more unbelievable. No, they have a very well balanced nine, they Held, hit, and run bases fairly well, are strong in the box and are weak in no department of play; they are full of “pep,” are in good physical condition, have nice team work, stick to their work and never lose confidence in their ability to win the game—-and that’s how they do win, and that's all. Afid that’s how they won 19 straight games this spring without losing one. This is really a very extraordinary achievement, and Coach Frank An derson deserves an extraordinary amount of credit for the wonderful showing of the team. It was he who f taught them their team play and* in side ball; he who kept up their fight- l ing spirit after he had generated it, and he who has made them very [largely what they are. It is undenia bly a Jim-dandy young team But 1 don’t believe they are ringers. T HE G. M. C. boys were also a nice, clean-looking lot, and they play- ed good steady ball. In two Innings only out of 19 played did Riverside succeed in scoring on these hard working lads Except in hitting they \ showed no inferiority worth mention ing to the Riverside team I deatre to express my very warm ; admiration for the clean and sports- manly conduct of the G. M. C cadets and their friends and rooters The I very best of order prevailed at all times on the field, and their treat- f ; mont of the Riverside team was. so J fiir as I could observe, not only just I and courteous but such as befits the Thonored guest. The work of Empire Lamar Ham. an old Georgia player, [was excellent, and no word of fault | finding or bitterness was ever ad- I dressed within my hearing either to I him or to the visitors by the G.

May J9.- Ad Wolgast. who is reported to have lost heavily in his last few bets on prize fights, to-day is said to have placed a large bet on Willie Hoppe to beat Frankie Burns when they meet next month. I T is not only the actual result of this series which will count, but the effect the outcome will have chi the hearts and playing of the piling ing Phillies. If the* Giants can stop them with a jerk we will start them off on a long load tour without the* idea that they are invincible, and we will send them away with Fitts burg ms their next stop, except for one game at home with Brooklyn. They will encounter some more ex<*e! lent pitching and a Hub that has Iteeu vastly strengthened within the last two weeks when they meet the Di vtites. But should tl*e Quakers take these* games in New York or the ma jority of them, they would still retain the notion that they cannot 1m* beaten, and doubtless would go stampeding through the West at a great rate, in creasing their lead to dangerous pro portions. It would also have the op posite effect on the New York club, which is about to leave for its swing through the West. Therefore, it is easy to see that the series is an itn portant one. The Quakers are going to put forth the lM*st that they have against its for two reasons. Oue is that there never has been any too much good feeling between the two teams, and the other is that every club in the* league is always eager to bent the Big Town boys, and especially the champions of the league. That is the,reason the Giants con stantly meet the l**st pitching, where as some second-rate club gets second- rate twirlers. * * * npHF Philadelphia Hub is still^*!a> * ing at top speed, while the Giants are not themselves yet. our hitting is not timely, and the fielding is uncertain. Domaree. who showed so well at first, has not entirely re covered from a strained back, another reason why the coining of Fromme was timely. The Phillies are likely to make a good bid for the pennant, provided Dooin can keep the team in condition and the regulars can steer clear of injuries. Tlu r * lack of capable substitutes is what will probably drag the Quakers back. The pitching staff, however, should keep the club a factor in the-nice right up to Sep t onilier. The Philadelphia sprint is not the same kind that Cincinnati sprang last year, to my mind. There is more IniHvbone to t lie Philadelphia Huh, and the team is a good one as far ns the first string men go. Give it a lead of a few games and it’s going to lie a long chase catching Dooin’s crowd. They can then afford to slump and recover. What the team does on this long road trip will give some indi cation of how it is going to finish, be cause most of the games it has played to date have l>een at home. This will lx* a real test. They play twenty three of their next twenty-four games on the road. * * * A S1I>F: from actually strengthening the pitching staff. McGraw’s trade with Cincinnati displayed con siderable wisdom on the part of the New York manager In another direo- The bad weather of the first of the season has piled up a string of double-headers for along, and double-headers eat pitchers faster than a high- priced automobile does into gasoline, The Giants now have eleven double- headers slated, mu), in order to work n reliable pitcher every day. McGraw will need four or live twirlers in service all the time. By the addition of Fromiue. lie has enough talent to start a reliable performer In each game, in spite of the double-headers, when Demaree gels bark in shape. * * * B ROOKLYN has apparently begun to slip back through the league. 1 look to see the club finish no better than fourth, because two teams are bound to come and pass the Su per I vis. These are ihe Giants and Pittsburg, and I don’t figure the 1 lodgers any way to beat out Phila delphia. The pitching staff appears to lie slipping some now. and the in- tiehlers are not playing the game they were when the psychology of the win ning streak was on the whole team and carrying it up through the league. * * * r TT'HW Cubs have faded, but should set a revival of form on their return to the home diamond. The improvement in pitching would mean ati improvement of the team, because, it is weak twirling that has been continuously holding the club hack. The rest of the team is strong enough, with a wonderful catching staff. W 7 HEN the Eastern clubs invade the West next week, the first real test of the Easterners will occur in comparing them with the West. They waded through the Western teams in the late intersectional se ries. and the question now is whether or not they can repeat the perform ance away from home. The St. Louis club made the best showing of all the Westerners in the East, and. with Brooklyn and Philadelphia, has been the surprise of the league. Two good pitchers have been holding the Hub up in the race, and a team that was regarded before the season as a com petitor with Brooklyn and Boston for last place has shot to the front and is crowding a lot of us for the first division.
