U NTIL last week It had been Inns
nince 1 had seen a gumc of either
football or baseball between any
of the preparatory school teams of the
State. But on the 19th and 20th last
1 slipped down to Milledgevifle to see
the Georgia Military College team of
that place lock horns with the team
from the Riverside Military Academy
of Gainesville.
Well. I witnessed both games, and it
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 hurlors. Williamson
and Haines for Riverside, and (’amp
and Gheesling for G. M. 0., 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. C..
which was. perhaps, the principal rea
son why they got away with the big
end of the scoring
» i •
N ’OW. I had heard more than one
rumor to the effect that the Riv
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
Wake Forest has since been black
listed for having three profes
sional players on its roster this now
strikes me as a good place to giggle,
fit will also be remembered that the
Riverside team held Wake Forest to
a 6-6 tie game).
Quite prepared was 1, therefore, to
see on the Riverside line-up a bunch
of matured men, some of them giving
every 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 the
country could hope to duplicate. Did
1 see these things? No. none of them,
and nothing like it. in the first place
they were dearly and indubitably all
voung boys with one possible excep
tion, and he not over 21 years of age
They all dressed neatly and in excel
lent taste. They talked like your av
erage well behaved and schooled
Prep. They played surprisingly good
hall for such youngsters, but nothing
like what professionals, even in ( lass
D, play. I tell you they were BOYS,
nothing else.
What is a “ringer?" Any one of a
lot of things makes a "ringer.” True,
they may still have been ringers in
the sense that they were not bona fide
students, were at Riverside only 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 but the most trifling
recompense for any past playing, that
was even more unbelievable.
No, they have a very well balanced
nine, they field, 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. And that's how
they won it* 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
taught them their team play and in
side ball, Lie who kept up their fight
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 Rut I
don’t believe they are ringers.
• • *
T HR G. M c boys were a,so a nice.
■ clean-looking lot. and they play
ed good steady ball. Ir 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.
1 desire 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
very best of order prevailed at all
times on the field, and their treat-
pent of the Riverside team was, so
Jar as I could observe, not only Just
and courteous but such as befits the
honored guest. The work of I'mpire
Lamar Ham. an old Georgia player,
was excellent, and no word of fault
finding or bitterness was ever ad
dressed within my hearing either to
him or to the visitors by the G. M. O.
players or any of their supporters’: it
was fine conduct and good sport all
around.
G M C has a very pretty campus,
and the main building of the school
is the old Georgia State Capitol: it
is a handsome and very substantial
edifice still.

T STOPPED off ju Burnesville.
1 hoping to hop tho rained-out kiiitu-
of the day before played off between
Florida and Gordon Institute. In this
1 met with disappointment, as the
Florida team had Rone home; but I
enjoyed a visit of a few hours there
nevertheless.
Gordon also has a very tine athletic
field, and several ver\ handsome new
buildings. I.ieutenant Riley, the for
mer star West Point guaul had all
ete boys looking' spick-and-span, and
their military drill was much more
than worth watching. The athletes
I was so fortunate as to meet wore a
remarkably line looking set of fellows
who seemed to measure right up to
college standards In both stature and
outlines. And. by the way. I have
just read that their splendid catcher,
Everett Bankston, whom 1 was hop
ing mipht come to Tech, has receiv
ed an offer from the Pittsburg l-eague
team. This will pive an idea of the
class of the athletes they are devel
oping in our Georgia preparatory
schools.

STAR III BOARD
TRACK RACING
-JACK PRINCE.
“H
r\ RRY GLENN, this loc al
boy, will make one of the
greatest board track riders
in the world; you watch what 1 say.”
So says Jack I'rlnce, inventor of the
board track, who knows more about
"racing on edge" than any other liv
ing man.
Glenn made his real exhibition Je-
but Wednesday. He had been flirt
ing with the track for several days.
His first time out he wabbled about
on it like a drunken sailor—and wab
bling at 6f> or 70 miles an hour is a
dangerous pastime. Glenn’s racing
machine, order d some weeks ago, has
not come yet, so he has not been
doing much at the track.
Wednesday afternoon five or six of
the world’s hesi board-track racers
were tuning up their machines and
getting ready for the big tournament
next week. And a crowd of 6,000 or
8,000 board-track cranks were watch
ing the free exhibition that goes on
©very afternoon. For nothing at all,
t'.ie crowd was seeing fancy riding
by the best in tlie business. But even
then they were not satisfied.
"Harry Glenn; we want Harry
Glenn,” they shouted. #
Glenn Forced to R'de.
There was not a chance to an
nounce to all of them that Harry's
racing machine had not come. And
finally the cries became so Insistent
that "Smiling Harry” mounted a road
machim and. grinnl. - happily, set out
for his first real att mpt at speed on
the treacherous bank9.
No veteran rider could have han
dled the track with greater ease. He
circled it at the pole and he took it
high, he rode fast and slow; but never
was there a slip or any show of in
experience. And round after round
was greeted with thunderous cheer
ing. That Glenn Is a tremendous lo
cal favorite was never better dem
onstrated.
Glenn deserves it. too. Never has
more intrepid dirt-track rider shown
himself to the public than Harry, and
he has won the crowds by his courage
and cleverness.
Lad's Success Is Sure.
When Glenn was riding, the ex
perts gathered at the paddock and
discuss* il his work. And it was not
long before sill agreed that his futu.e
In the racing game was assured. He
has many times shown his courage
and cool-headedness in races, and
now that he has shown that he can
"ride the boards” as well, there is
nothing to it but u big showing for
Smiling Harry" Glenn around the
i Southern circuit of tracks
If Glenn's racing machine arrives
in time, he will probably try his luck

K\V YORK, May 21). One of the most important series of the season begins at the Polo
rounds to-day. w hen the (Hants and Phillies, now 7 leading the league, meet to play four
tames in three days. This will l>e a real test of the Quakers, who have been setting a
terrific pace ever since the race liegan.
The games are going to Ik 4 largely a question of pitchers, and the Giants’ twirlers will
i>e thrown against the finest staff in the league in this series. It is the pitching the Quakers
have lx»en getting that has kept.them up in the race so far. and it will be pitching that must
stop them. When McGraw traded three Giants to Cincinnati last week, he was looking ahead to these games,
which lie realized would l>e critical and might have a direct bearing on the final result of the season. He needed
good, reliable twirlers to work in these battles. Now he has Tesreau, Fromme and Marquard. Doubtless, they
will meet Seaton. Alexander, Chalmers and Uixey.
If the Calgary affair will only put a
crimp In the white hope market, it will
not have been fought in vain.
One Johnny Evers pugilist, makrs his
appearance In our midst. One W. Klem.
umpire, will testify that anybody with
that name Is a fighter.
Tommy Leach is the onlv Culi out
fielder who is hitting in the 30;^ class
All of which goes to show the value of
young blood.
Reports come from Virginia. Minn.,
that Rube Waddell has dlsanoe.- , rrd
again. Virginia. Minn., fears that he
may come back.
Gifi'ge Stovall is back In the game.
It is rumored that he now chews cotton
instead of tobacco.
SHAME.
Full many a man is filled irith bitter
shame
And hears men make a byword of his
name.
Hut never one who hung his head
so loir
\s one I witnessed in a basi ball
game.
With bases filled, they railed him to
the fore:
He whiffed when but a hit would tie
the score,
And as he journeyed benehwanl
from the plate
It must hare seemed a hundred
miles or more.
WOLGAST BACKS HOPPE.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 29.—Ad
Wolgast. who is reported to have lost
heavily in Ids last few bets on prize
fights, to-day is said to have placed
a large bet on Willie Hoppe beat
Frankie Burns when they meet next
aionth.
I T is not only the actual result of
this series which will count., but
tbe effect the outcome will have on
the hearts and playing of the plung
ing Phillies. If tin 4 Giants can stop
them with a jerk we will start
them off on a long road tour without
the idea that they are Invincible, and
we will send them away with Pitts
burg as their next stop, except for
one game at home with Brooklyn.
They will encounter some more excel
lent pitching and a club that lias been
vastly strengthened within the last
two weeks when they meet the Pi
rates. But should the Quakers take
these games in New York or the ma
jority of them, they would still retain
tin* notion that they cannot Ik* beaten,
and doubtless would go stampeding
through tin 4 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 set ies is an im
portant one.
The Quakers are going to put forth
tin 4 l>ost that they have against us
for two reasons. One is that there
never has Ixvn any too much good
feeling lx 4 tween tin* two teams, and
the other is that every club in tin 4
league N alwuss eager to beat the
Pig Town boys, and especially the
champions of the league.
That is the reason the Giants con
stantly meet the
as some second-
rate twirlers.
last year, to my mind. There is more
backbone to the Philadelphia club,
and the team is a good one as far as
the first string men go. Give it a lead
of a few games and it’s going to be
a long chase catching Dooin’s crowd.
They can then afford to slump and
recover. What the team does on this
long roatr trip will give some indi
cation of how it is going to finish, lo
calise most of the games it has played
to date have been at home. Tlds will
lx 4 a real test. They play twenty
three of their next twenty-four games
on the road.
A side
the
from actually strengthening
pitching staff, McG raw’s
trade with Cincinnati displayed con
siderable wisdom on the part of the
New York manager in another direc
tion. The bad weather of the first
part of the season has piled up a
long striifc of double-headers for
later along, and double-headers eat
into pitchers faster than a high-
priced automobile does into gasoline.
Tht 4 Giants now have eleven double-
headers slated, and, in order to work
a reliable piteher every day. McGraw
will need four or five twirlers in
service all the time. By the addition
of Fromme. he has enough talent to
start a reliable j»erformer in each
game, in spite of the double-headers,
when Demaree gets hack in shape.
