TITE ATLANTA GFCmOTAN ANT) NEWS, IT BET i* AGAIN BUZZES N ashville, tenn., May so.— The amart clip at which the Vols have been traveling since they commenced their month’s stay In the Dell has started the pennant bee to buzzing again among the fickle bugs In Voltown, who are ready to acclaim the Schwartzmen the class of the league. The yelping for a brace of depend able twlrlem to take some of the work off Beck and Williams Is on again, for this pair Is about all the Vols can rely on for regular box duty. Hlrslg Insists that Chick Smith will blow In any moment, but the stuff about the southpaw's reporting is get ting to be like the boy who hojlercd “wolf” so often. Vols Secure Dye. Schwartz has landed a portsider named Dye. whose work with Canton last season greatly impressed the boy manager, since he won 17 and lost 15 with a tail end team in a league of 14 clubs. This Dye carries with him a record as a bad performer, and Bill has an Idea that, with a new system he is applying, he can keep the Canton boy from flirting with the white lights. Bill has shaken off a lot of the kind words stuff, and when one of his hired men doesn’t act to suit him, said athlete’s pay envelope is promptly confiscated and the bad actor gets only enough to settle his chewing tobacco account. Whether Mr. Dye will fall for this kind of punishment is another tale which must be related at another time. Gibacn Surprises Fan®. Frank Gibson, the ex-Tiger back stop, has set the bugs nutty with his flashy work behind the plate, for he 1s Jammed full of ginger, and although he i? merely a kid he is a wise little ball player. One great beauty about him Is nls ability to bat either right or left handed, according to the wing used by the opposing pitcher, and he has be**n driving the pill all over the lot. Glbby will be kept In the game 6 s long as he puts up his present rand of ball, for Schwartz is a su perstitious manager and claims he will not break up the present winning combination. Daley a Disappointment. Tt Is for that same reason that Jud Daley is allowed to stay in left field, for Jud is certainly giving a weird exhibition of left fielding, and al though the Vols have Just bought outfielder Nicholson from Louisville, the ex-Colonel won’t get a chance to show his wares until the Vols hit a slump. No one, himself included, seems to know Just what is the mat ter with Daley, for after getting a flying start in the spring practice he has not only failed to find his batting eye but is displaying miserable Judg ment on fly balls, several games hav ing gone to the enemy when he over ran a hit or failed to run back far enough. Nicholson Another Bay. Nicholson’s work in practice stamps him as another Harry Bay, for he is as fast as chain lightning and makes hard catches look easy. With the ash. he has done little fo call out scouts from the majors. Schwartz sent him in against Memphis as a pinch hitter; and possibly it was due to his ovcranxlety to break in with a bang, but he bandied him self at the plate in a very unimpres sive manner, almost breaking his back on throe wide ones. It won’t hurt however, to keep him around, for as sure as death and taxes, Daley will either soon show a wonderful improvement or slip com pletely back, and somebody will have to plug up the hole in left. As for that matter, Del Young, the Cleve land grocery clerk, is still completely mystified by the dump in right field end has gazed dumbly at some drives a faster man could have pulled down. Callahan a Marvel. Dave Callahan in center has made the bugs forget all about Harry Wel- chonce, for in Cally, Schwartz has found the ideal lead-off man, who manages to get on in one way or an other. Give Schwartz two more fin ished pitchers and he will have one of the best all around offensive and defensive clubs in the circuit.* Sporting Food -By GEORGE E.

PEREECUV, MY PEAR. Perfect c/L MATflEWSCSTS BRx LtAGUl GOSSIP N 10W YORK, May 30.—The American League has offered several surprises as a result of the first engagement between the Western teams and the Eastern teams. The Athletics had raced through the East in the early season, beating what were rated to be the strongest teams with great ease. The Yankees had failed to win a single game at home, and everybody thought the club would drop out of the league when it got so far West as Cleveland, where Birmingham’s hoys were rumbling along at a great rate. But the New York team crossed the critics and made an excellent showing In the West, only slightly worse A wonderful magazine given FREE with every copy of the next Sunday American. HOUCK SHADES CROUSE. MANCHESTER, PA„ May 30.—Leo Houck shaded Buck Crouse, of Pitts burg, in a six-round go before the Lancaster Athletic Club last night. than that displayed by the Athletics. Five clubs have an outside chance in the contention In the American League. They are Washington, Boston, Cleveland and Chicago. Cleveland has been the Brooklyn of the American prising all the prophets. Philadelphia League, sur 'T'HK Athletics still lack good pitch- J ing, and It was this deficiency which caused them to have a rather disastrous trip In the West. Outside of their pitching staff, they are far and away the very best club in the league. They should win the pennant, and will take lots of games in the long home string of battles scheduled for Shibe Park -now. The pitching staff will buck up in the next month, too, because Coombs should return to the game, as he Is rapidly recovering from his illness. Plank Is nearly in vincible, and Bender Is much better than he was last season. JT was predicted when Ed" Walsh took to the bench thnt the Chi cago White Sox would take to the bushes, but it has not been so. Calla han’s team has been winning twill games without Walsh. Bussell. Benz and Scott have all lieen going well in the box. White Sox have always been a good road club. With Walsh again in form, I would not bo at all sur prised to see them crowd the Wash ington team, which has lieen the big gest disappointment of the recognized pennant possibilities. Griffith has been handicapped some by Injuries and a good deal by the failure of his pitchers outside of Walter Johnson. It was a great surprise to the profes sion to see Johnson lx*aton last week. McGraw, since he would lie strength ening a rival club for the pennant, unless he got half of the New York team in return. Zimmerman himself is very anxious to come to the Giants, as his home and most of his friends are In the Bronx. He would also like the chance to cut In on the world’s scries money, which all the Giants still be lieve they will do. * * * S EVERAL American league clubs are complaining about the atti tude of the Cleveland players on the field. They refuse to speak to an opposing athlete except to Insult litm, and they, are fighting all the time. Birmingham insists on this, and it seems to have worked out well with his club. It was an old rule of Frank Chance’s when the Cubs were going great guns and fighting tooth and nail. Any time he found a Chicago man shaking hands or getting friend ly with an opponent the hand shaker was liable to a heavy fine. This, to my mind, is carrying the war a little too far.

PRESIDENT MURPHY PEEVED OVER MATTY’S STATEMENT CHICAGO, May 30.—Charles Webb Murphy, president of the Cubs, to day attacked Christy Mathewson, of the Giants, in a statement issued to the newspapers. Murphy says that Mathewson’s statement regarding; the merits of the Cubs’ pitching- staff fol lowed closely Murphy’s refusal to buy insurance from Mathewson. Murphy says: "In a recent story bearing the name of Christy Mathewson it was stated that he did not have the same amount of respect for the Cub’s pitching staff and the team in general as he did for several other teams in the Na tional League. This statement fol- ws closely upon our refusal to purchase insurance from Mr. Mathewson as I told him that any insurance that we had to give would go to Chicago men.” T HERE is a rumor in the Rational League now that Evers intends to trade Zimmerman because of in ternal trouble on the Cubs, if he can get the right price for him. It is no secret that Evers and Zimmerman have displayed little brotherly love so far, and several teams are after the great hitter.
