USE OF BEAN
By Percy H. Whiting.
T HE agitation in the major
leagues against the “bean ball”
has stirred a responsive chord
in the Southern League. “Go to it,"
say players and fans alike.
You know what the "bean ball" is,
of course.
It is a ball thrown by the pitcher
at the head of the batter. Its pur
pose may be to intimidate a batter
lacking in courage or to force away
from the plate a man who is crowd
ing ih too close to suit the pitcher.
The play is barbarous and should be
eliminated from the game.
> * * *
\ S contemptible an exhibition of
** bean ball throwing as Atlanta
fftns eVer saw occurred yesterday. In
tha sixth inning, when Wally Smith
was at bat, he ran in to the lirttit of
the batter's box in an effort.to skhear
one of Finis Wilson’s curves*- Wilson
put up a complaint to the umpire, but
there were no grounds for it, and Um
pire Pfenninger disregarded it.
The next ball Wilson threw straight
at Smith’s head. Wally ducked and
escaped, but by no wi(le margin.
Again Wilson threw at Smith’s head,
and this time with such unerring aim
and such tremendous speed that when
Smith ducked the ball struck the bat
that he threw in front of his head as
he went down. But for this lucky
chance Smith would have received
a terrible wallop on the head, would
unquestionably have been laid out and
perhaps killed.
* * *
Yll/ELSON'S was doubtless that
of a fresh kid. He threw at
-Smith’s head because he lacked any
better sense.
But if Wilson had killed Smith-*-
and the thing could easily have hap
pened—it would have been cold
blooded, brutal, willful murder.
* * *
THE bean ball is n'o more a part of
A legitimate baseball than would
*be the u*e»pf an axe on the head of
a base runner or- the knifing, of a
fielder.
It would be difficult absolutely to
stop it. However, in most cases a
trained observer—such as an umpire
is supposed to be and usually isn’t—
could tell a “bean ball” from a wild
heave that went at the saute fhark.
A pitcher who uses it ough,t,to be
fired out of baseball for one year and
fined not less than a thousand dol
lars. That might help to break up
the practice.
* * ♦
W EDNESDAY’S ball game was pie
for the Crackers—4 to 1—with
New Orleans the victim. Paul. Mus-
.ser came around and pitched a really
first-class game. The “fatal gift” was
i^ith him to the extent of six passes,
but he was never in danger, chiefly
because he allowed only five hits. He
kept the- hits pretty well separated
from the passes and the only time it
seemed possible that anything unfor
tunate might happen ijendryx wal
loped into a double play and relieved
the pressure.
* * *
Z'' ATCHER CHAPMAN made his
, Atlanta debut and pleased
mightily. He is a husky brute, with
lots of gab and considerable clever
ness. The entire team showed a lot
of added “pep,” but how much was
due to Chapman’s example and how
much to something Manager Smith
might or might not have said in a club
house talk nobody know T s.
If Chapman proves as good as he
louk», the Crackers are a vastly dif
ferent team. Graham has been an
uncertainty all the season. And Dunn
was signed only as a second catcher
and could not be expected to carry
the whole thing along by himself.
With Chapman to do the heavy
backstopping and to lead in thfc chat
ter; with Dent promising to prove a
winning pitcher; with Musser back in
shape again, and with the rest of the
club playing to form, the locals ought
to begin forging toward the front
again.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, May 29.—American own
ers, horses and jockeys seem likely
to cut a pretty wide swath in the
great English Derby this year. Harry
Payne Whitney’s roll, Meeting House,
which ran third in the Guineas, has
a nice chance of winning. So has
Herman B. Duryea’s Boyne, which
won the Paris Biennial, at ten fur
longs, quite comfortably from a
smart field. August Belmont also has
a colt in France which is going to
take some stopping on Epsom Downs,
barring accident.
Whitney’s Meeting House is a fine
big colt by Voter out of Noonday,
and is one of the thirty yearlings he
purchased from the late James Keene
eighteen months ago.
Meeting House began slowly In the
mile race at Newmarket for the
Guineas and for a few strides he was
the last of a field of IB, but he moved
up to .ninth in the first quarter, was
seventh after going five furlongs,
and ran over four well fancied candi
dates in the final quarter, being beat
en only two lengths in the final quart
er by Louvois and Craganoiir, which
was almost dead-heated. Meeting
House ran practically unbacked, with
15 to 1 against him to show, and
Frank O’Neill riding.
Was Nipped at The Last.
Craganour divided favoritism with
Fairy King and they showed the way
for six furlongs, when Craganour
drew clear, with Johnny Reiff on the
20 to 1 shot. Louvois, in hot pursuit.
Craganour should have won, but his
ffinglish jockey was overconfident
and tossed it off and the American
nipped him on the post with Louvois.
O’Neill would have ridden the
winner if Jack Joyner had kept Meet
ing House in the barn. O’Neill was
engaged last year to ride for Whit
ney in this race if he was wanted.
Subsequently Mr. Raphael, the owner
of Louvois, as well as of last year’s
Derby winner, engaged both O’Neill
and Reiff to come over from Paris to
ride Louvois in the Guineas, O’Neill's
engagament being conditional that
Joyner would not want him for
Whitney.
When Joyner decided to take a
chance with Meeting House, Raphael
had Johnny Reiff to fall back upon,
and it was Johnny who won the
Derby for him on Tagalie last year.
Rut Mr. Raphael agrees with me
that Frank. O'Neill is the greatest
jockey in Europe, and probably In
the world just now. and he has con
tracted with Frank to ride Louvois
in the Derby and other important
races. So if American owners and
horses fail in the Derby an American
rider is quite likely to win it.
Louvois Shows.
Louvois is the colt of which I
wrote last December: that if I had
to make my selection for the Derby
from last season's two-year-olds be
fore they ran this season as three-
year-olds, he would be my choice.
Louvois not only showed speed last
year but he impressed me as the most
likely to carry it over the Derby
route this year.
judging fbom the manner in which
he came from behind and wore down
Craganour at one mile I expect
Louvois to b<*at Ismay’s cblt easily
at a mile and a half. To some ex
tent this argument also applies to
Whitney's Meeting House being like
ly to beat Craganour for the Derby.
However, the talent makes Craganour
favorite at present at 9 to 2.
Shogun is going to become a hot
tip for Derhv, but I can not stand for
a colt with two splints coming down
the hill at Epsom unless the going
should be very soft, which it seldom
is there.
Mr. Duryea’s Boyne is by Irish Lad
out of Running Water by Sir Dixon.
He is being pointed for the Derby, so
I hear from France.
Belmont’s good Derby colt in
France is Vulcain, by Rock Sand out
of Lady of the Vale.

Mercer President
Leads War on Frats
MACON, GA„ May 29.—President S.
T. Jameson, of Mercer University, will
himself, at the factutty meeting- this
afternoon, Introduce a resolution to
abolish the Greek letter fraternltels at
Mercer University. The preamble of
his resolution reads:
"Whereas the Baptists, immemorl -
ally standing for a State without a
king and a church without a bishop,
have been apostles of liberty and
equality, and wheTeas Greek letter
fraternities are undemocratic In their
very constitution as well ss manage
ment, thereby creating class dlctlnc-
tions based on other grounds than
merit and ability; therefore, be tt re
solved,” etc.
It is believed that this sounds She
deathknell of fraternities at Mercer.
Women Call Riding
Astride Ban Silly
WASHINGTON, May 29.—Wash
ington horsewomen consider General
J. P. Hickman’s order forbidding
women to ride astride in the parade
of the reunion of Confederate veter
ans at Chattanooga old-fashioned and
out of date.
“I think the order foolish.” paid Mrs.
Burleson, wife of Lieutenant Richard
C. Burleson, of Fort Myer. “I am a
Southern woman, but the new way of
riding cross-saddle is much prefer
able.”
Eight Girls Sold at
Auction in Caucasia
LONDON, May 29—Eight native
girls between the ages of 15 and 18
were sold by public auction last week
at Terekllmakteb, Caucasia, according
to an Odessa dispatch to The Dally
Mall.
There was lively bidding before the
eight lots were disposed of. The
highest price, 5105, was paid for a
handsome Tartar girl named Orsalla
Ajalieff.
It is an immemorial custom of the
Tartars and the Kalmucks to sell
their superfluous daughters.

PELKY AND BURNS MAY
BE TRIED ON JUNE 23
CALGARY, ALBERTA. May 29.—
If Tommy Burns and Arthur Pelky
ever come to trial on a charge of
manslaughter In connection with the
death of Luther McCarty, it will be on
June 23 at the Supreme Criminal
Court session.
Burns will not give out his plans,
but It Is said that he Is being
urged to abandon all connection with
ring affairs.
Fargo dispatches giving McCarty's
estate as worth $66,000 are grossly
exaggerated. His property is worth
about $12,000.

Floto Yearns for Days of Old
o o o © © o ©
Scores All Typewriter Fighters
By Otto C. Floto.
I N slanting a glance over the light
weight situation as it presents it
self to us at the present time we
are forced to the conclusion that
there is more talk than doin’
and more challenges flying back
and forth than there are accept
ances of the same. Take the
whole list of the boys that claim this
division as their own, each and every
one of them have a chip on their
shoulder and are aiming their 14-lnch
guns at Willie Ritchie, the tltlehold-
er. Their ammunition, however, is
mostly "buncombe,” and the almighty
dollar is receiving far more attention
1n these deliberations than is the
glory of becoming champion.
All of which forces us to lean back
and sigh, "Oh, you fortunate cham
pions of to-day. How lucky you are
not to have been compelled to battle
In the time when real fighters graced
the roped Inclosure.” Days when the
end was never In sight; days when
the finish came only with the referee’s
count and the acknowledgment from
the “seconds" of one or the other
principal that his charge could go no
further.
• • .
S OME may shrug their shoulders
and say, “Yes, but those were the
brutal days of the London prize
ring.” Maybe they were, but they
also represented the period when
gladiators of real merit held sway,
days when it required a stout heart,
stamina, a knowledge of wrestling as
well as fighting, and an adept so far
as the science and punching ability
of the game went.
Seldom if ever did a champion re
turn to the ring once the stigma of
defeat was placed against his name.
He retired In those days unless for
some exceptional reason he was al
lowed to come back. HIS future con
nection with the game was as second,
bottle-holder or representative of
some champion. Tom Sayers, after
his defeat by Langham, came back
and. In support of the move, we need
but add that he was never defeated
again. He was a middleweight, while
Langham was a heavy one when they
fought.
