THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANR NEWS, 13 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.

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. M'COY AND FERNS DRAW IN TWENTY FAST ROUNDS RACING ENTRIES AT ELECTRIC PARK.

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. BASEBALL SUMMARY Remits of Every Game of Im portance Played Yesterday. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Thursday.

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. ... TAKE the average run of the * Queensberry babies we have in our midst at the present time and when they stagger up against defeat or adverse verdicts they hurry to the nearest typewriter and frame fifty- seven different varieties of alibis In a made endeavor to explain away their rout. Mind, we don’t wish you to mis understand us In that the Queens- berry code failed to produce great champions. On the contrary, It did. Jimmy Barry, Jack McAullffe, Jack Dempsey, Jim Corbett, Fitzsimmons and others won titles under their clauses. But remember, too, that they all fought “TO A FINISH” In order to succeed to the emblem. The pres ent day limited affairs were foreign to them. ... TVfl ANY will wonder why John L. Sullivan's name Is among those missing from the above list. Simple enough, and equally surprising to as many to learn that Sullivan won his title according to the L. P. R rules The only time he met defeat was by the Queensberry route. So that tech nically speaking Sullivan was never m iKES HAIR STf IAIGHT SSb HXELENTO never fails to do what It claims It stops falling HAIR, cleans DANDRUFF at once, and just feeds the SCALP and ROOTS of the HAIR and makes HAIR grow so fast that it is a wonder.

The last London prize ring fight in this coun try' was between Sullivan and Kll- raln. at Rlchburg, Miss, This will perhaps be news to many as well. With the abolition of the L. P. R. rules came a flock of "box fighters.” to whom the limited round Journey with eight-ounce gloves and Queens berry methods appealed as the short route to easy money. Over 70 per cent of this same band would have found employment at some other way of making a living had the old-time fashion of battles on the turf "to a finish” still been in Vogue. ZBYSZK0 COLLAPSES IN MAT BOUT; LURICH WINS NEW YORK. May 29.—George Lu- rich was awarded the decision orer Stanislaus Zbyszko in the wrestling bout at Madiaon Square Garden when the latter failed after 16 minutes and 27 seconds of strenuous struggling on the mat. The Polish champion was said to be suffering from the effects of a recent injury received at Montreal and his weakened condition resulted in his collapse in the ring. - r- —-L BU-Jin^uiiaisiiL BOXING News of the Ring Game Spider Britt is on the warpath.
