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.

T7 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 1n tht first race meet, set for one | week from to-morrow .

(By the Miller of Osgood ) (Being n Contribution.) “Ladies and yentxthe fiarkcr cried. “We’ll trill the flay irith yutnex to spa re !’* Oh. please sir, tie y<rur hull brute outside! You can’t win games irith heated air. CHRISTY MATHEWWS . BIG LCAGUI GOSSIP N« *■ ’ * r :i 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. B 1 T ROOKI.YN has apparently begun > lK>st pitching, where- j 1 * to slip back through the league, rate club gets second-1 1 look to sec the club finish no better than fourth, because two teams are bound to come and pass the Su- perbas. These are the Giants and 1 ’in sin: rg. and I don't figure the Dodgers any way to treat out Phila delphia. The pitching staff appears to be slipping some now, and the in- fielders are not playing the game they HE Philadelphia club is still play ing at top sjieed, while tile Giants are not themselves yet. Our hitting is not timely, and the fielding is uncertain. lHuunree. who showed so well at first, has not entirely re covered from a strained back, another "'ere when the psychology of the win- reason why the coming of Fromme) ning streak was on the whole team was timely. The Phillies are likely ! and carrying it up through the league, to make a good bid for the pennant.

The Philadelphia sprint is not the 1 same kind tkai Cincinnati sprang! return to the home diamond. The improvement in pitching would mean an in juovem nt of the team, because it is weak twirling that has lieeu continuously holding the club back. White City Park Low Open 1 ^ j W!

They waded through the Western teums in the late intersectjonal se ries, and the question now is whether or not they can repeat the jierform- ance away from home. The St. Louis club made the best showing of all the Westerners In the Last. and. with Brooklyn and Philadelphia, has been the surprise of the league. Two good pitchers have been holding the club up in the race, and a team that was regarded tiefore tlie 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 tbe first division.
