In a unanimous decision by the 8u- prt'Hie Court of Georgia, the eitv loses tn its fight to uphold the legnlitv of the $276,000 crematory contract and Atlanta faces a serious health prob lem. The ruling declares the Contract il legal on the ground that the moral obligation Involved 1n the pledge of payment to the Destructor Compun.x of New York is a debt. The consti tution of the State expressly forbids the Council of one year binding the Council of another in a financial obli gation. The decision acts as an injunction, the city and the contractors being restrained from continuing operations on the crematory' which is now under construction until two-thirds of the voters shall have approved of the project at a spectial election. Mayor Woodward, who fought tne contract from the biginning, scores a Dig victory, but Atlanta is con fronted with a menacing problem in the disposal of its garbage during the summer months. The decision was written by Chief Justice Fish.

CHRISTY MATHEWSONS BIG LtAGUt GOSSIP N‘ miist natural hitters I have ever seen, It ml it is Impossible to get him to go after a bad ball. He has a wonderful eye and is .a splendid judge of halls and strikes. His batting average does not show his true strength, because he reaches first base so often on passes. He is also lightning fast on the bases once he arrives, and will worry any pitcher badly. Burns is capable of batting better than he is doing at present. He is still a little strange in the big league berth, but lie is a good ball player. Fletcher is batting hard, and Mer- kle and Murray have picked up with in the last week. Meyers so far has not acquired his last season’s punch. The club will get batting, and then we should climb through the league like the gossip of a kiss through a hoarding house. * * * ITT.SBIJRG a frittered away bait after the tine manner in which the Boston club cleaned up four straight on Clarke’s crew. The Pirates have the pitching and the hitting, and will lie in the contention for the cham pionship. * K\V YORK. May - . A few days ago I discussed t(ic different teams in the National League race in general. To day ! will return to the same subject, sizing up the (Bants and Pirates. Both teams were off all over in the early part of the race. The New York players displayed some of the worst lidding seen on any diamond since the late world’s series. Nothing was sure to the Giants. The pitchers were also out of sorts, Tesreau failing to get moving and Marquard being out of condition from sickness. The Giants hopjied into their lidding stride last week with a single bound, and the infield is moving like a string of firecrackers now. Instead of turning outs into base hits, as we were dotyig, the infieldors are now cut ting down base hits and converting them into outs, as several of the Pittsburg players will tell you if you get a chance to consult them. That helps. , Following thistencouraging sign, both Tesreau and Marquard stepped out and pitched good baseball last week, Rube showing ( a very fine game against the Pirates when lie got tan gled up in a pitching battle with Camnitz, the one that went fourteen innings. His fast ball had the hop on it for the first time this season, and when he is getting the jump on his fast one tie is one of the best southpaws in the business anywhere. I Tesreau also stepped forth in tliclat- : ter part of this same game and dis- I played his old speed and the break on his spitter which made him really the leading pitcher of the National League last season. With these two men going at their best, the Giants are sure to get pitch ing. The only man on the staff not up to the top of his stride now is” A1 Demaree, the recruit who has shown such grand form so far this season. He strained his side recently, uiul will not he ready to work regularly again for about a week. But Tesreau can go to the lx>x every other day if necessary, but it won’t lie necessary with Marquard gild myself in shape to take our regular turns. 'T'HF Giants have not hit up to any- -•- tiling like the pace they showed piTT, York, when it took one of those sud den braces and battled us to a practi cal standstill. After leaving the Polo Grounds, the Pirates went over to last season so far, hut they should j Brooklyn and choked down the fond bat harder. Shafer, who has replaced hopes of the Dodgers, when IJahlen Snodgrass in center field, is one of the I had lieen led to expect something soft B ROOKLYN has started to fade. drop. Of course the club will not go down to the depths to which other Brooklyn teams have descended in years past, but it will be fighting to remain out of the second division be^ fore the last word is in. T ‘HE St. Louis club is a big sur< prise, especially to the Giants, but it is going ahead of its normal speed now. It has not the staunch ness to last. The team has two ex cellent pitchers. Harmon and Sallee, and Konetchy is a great ball player. So is Huggins. The ix»st of the team is nothing out of the ordinary, and a club must l>e out of tin* ordinary to win a pennant. Huggins’ peppery personality has done a lot for the team. Sallee will do a lot more if he sticks in shape all season. (Copyright, 1013, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.)

Evers intends taking his complaint to Presi dent Lynch. * * * Harry Lurnley, once manager and star player with th« Dodgers, has been re leased by the • t oy. X. Y . team. An in jury to his ibrowing wrist perhaps will necessitate his retirement from baseball. * * * The lowly Braves administered a dou ble defeat to the Giants, pushing the New Yorkers down to fifth mace. 259 points behind the leading Phillies. The Bra>es' second victory of the day was a clean-cut. deserved affair, but the first game was won or. a fluke. In the ninth Sweeney hit to the outfield, and Connelly, rounding third, started for tlie plate. Burns would have thrown him out by nearly ton feet, but the ball, in stead of hounding into Catcher Meyers' hand, struck Sweeney’s discarded' hut and bounded away, while Connelly scored the only run of the game. Manager Stovall’s triple in the seventh which scored a run, followed by Aus tin’s single, scoring .Stovall. were enough to gain a victory yesterday for the Browns over the Tigers. a * *. C.
