HE ATLANTA GFOT?f!T W AND NEWS 1 Si Ik i Viat HciYYy’S Divorce Suit .** .*.* The Defendant Brings a Present to Reno Ruth nn. s,sia 4 By Tad By J. W. Heisman. U NTIL last week it had been long since I had seen a frame of either football or baseball between any of the preparatory school teams of the State. But on the 19th and 20th last 3 slipped down to Milledgeville 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 hurlers, Williamson and Haines for Riverside, and Camp and Gheesling for G. M. C., was lm 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. • • • XTOW, 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 ine as a good place to giggle. (It will also be remembered that the Riverside team held Wake Forest to a f>-6 tie game). Quite prepared was I, therefore, to aee 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 3 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 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 ball for such youngsters, but nothing like what professionals, even in Class P, 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 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 taught them their team play and in side ball; he 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. But I 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 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 ment of the Riverside team was, so far as I could observe, not only just and courteous but such as befits the honored guest. The work of Umpire JjBin&T Ham, an old Georgia player, was excellent, and no word of fault finding or bitterness was ever ad dressed within my hearing either to Mm or to the visitors by the G. M. C. 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 at Rarnesvllle, * hoping to see the rained-out game of the day before played ofT between Florida and Gordon Institute. In this I met with disappointment, as the Florida team had gone home; but I enjoyed a visit of a few hours there nevertheless. Gordon also has a very fine athletic field, and several very handsome new buildings. lieutenant Riley, the for mer star West Point guard, had all the boys looking spick-and-span, and their military drill was much more than worth watching. The athletes I was so fortunate as to meet were a remarkably fine looking set of fellows who seemed to measure right up to college standards in both stature and outlines. And, by the wav, I have Just read that their splendid catcher, Everett Bankston, whom 1 was hop ing might come to Tech, has receiv ed an offer from the Pittsburg League team. This will give an Idea of the class of the athletes they are devel oping in our Georgia preparatory schools. FREE, NEXT SUNDAY.

So says Jack Prince, Inventor of the board track, who knows more about "racing: on edge” than any other liv ing man. Glenn made his real exhibition de 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 66 or 70 miles an hour 1s a dangerous pastime. Glenn's racing machine, ordered some week* ago. has not come yet. so he has not been doing much at the track. Wednesday afternoon five or alx of the world’s best 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 every afternoon. For nothing at all, the crowd was seeing fancy riding by the best In the business. But even then they were not satisfied. “Harry Glenn; we want Harry Glenn," they ehouted. Glenn Forced to Ride. There was not a chance to an nounce to all of them that Harry's racing machine had not coma And finally the cries became so insistent that "Smiling Harry" mounted a road machine and, grinnh happily, set out for his first real attempt at speed on the treacherous banks. 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 crow’ds by his courage and cleverness. Lad's Success Is Sure. When Glenn was riding, the ex perts gathered at the paddock and discussed his work. And it was not long before all agreed that his future 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 a big showing for ’•Smiling Harry” Glenn around the Southern circuit of tracks. If Glenn’s racing machine arrives in time, he will probably try his luck in the first race meet, set for one week from to-morrow.

May 29— 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, CHRISTY MATHEWSlSl BIG Lll LEAGUE GOSSIP N EW YORK, May 29.—One of the most important series of the season begins at the Polo Grounds to-day, when the Giants and Phillies, now leading the league, meet to play four games In three days. This will be a real test of the Quakers, who have been setting a terrific pace ever since the race began. The games are going to be largely a question of pitchers, and the Giants’ twlrlers win be thrown against the finest staff In the league In this series. It Is the pitching the Quakers have been getting that has kept them np 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 he realized would be critical and might have a direct bearing on the final result of the season. He needed good, reliable twlrlers to work In these battles. Now he has Tesreau, Fromme and Marquard. Doubtless, they will meet Seaton, Alexander, Chalmers and Rlxey. I T Is not only the actual result of this series which will count, but the effect the outcome will have on the hearts and playing of the plung ing Phillies. If the Giants can stop them with a jerk we will start them off on a long road tour without the Idea that tney 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 has 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 the notion that they cannot be 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 Im portant one. The Quakers are going to put forth the best that they have against us for two reasons. One 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 beat the Big Town boys, and especially the champions of the league. That Is the reason the Giants con stantly meet the best pitching, where as some second-rate club gets second- rate twlrlers. • • * T HE Philadelphia club Is still play ing at top speed, while the Giants are not themselves yet. Our hitting Is not timely, and the fielding is uncertain. Demaree, who showed so well at first, has not entirely re covered from a strained back, another reason why the coming of Fromme was timely. The Phillies are likely to make a good bid for the pennant, provided Dooln can keep the team In condition and the regulars can steer clear of Injuries. The lack of capable substitutes Is what will probably drag the Quakers hack. The pitching staff, however, should keep the club a factor In the race right up to Sep tember. The Philadelphia sprint is not the same kind that Cincinnati sprang White City Park Now Open 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 Dooln’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 been at home. This will be a real test They play twenty- three of their next twenty-four games on the road. • • • A SIDE from actually strengthening the pitching staff, McGraw”* 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 string of donble-beaders for later along, and double-headers eat Into pitchers faster than a high- priced automobile does Into gasoline. The Giants now have eleven double- headers slated, and, in order to work a reliable pitcher every day, McGraw will need four or five twlrlers In service all the time. By the addition of Fromme, he has enough talent to start a reliable performer in each game, In spite of the double-headers, when Demaree gets back In shape. • • • TYROOKLYN has apparently begun ■*-' to slip back through the league. I look to see the club finish no better than fourth, because two teams are bound to come and pass the Su- perbas. These are the Giants and Pittsburg, and I don’t figure the Dodgers any way to beat out Phila delphia. The pitching staff appears to be slipping some now, and the ln- flelders 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. • * • HPHE Cubs have faded, but should get a revival of form on their return to the home diamond. The Improvement In pitching would mean an Improvement of the team, because It Is weak twirling that has been continuously holding the club back. a Opium.

WOOLLEY, *.N, VlcMI SmIwiw, Ailin, HyaUt r The rest of the team Is strong enough, with a wonderful catching staff. • • • W 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 lntersectlonal 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 clnb 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 ua for the first division.
