THE ATLANTA GEOFOTAN AND NEWS.
IT BEE
AGAIN BUZZES
IN MS' C
AL DEMAREE, IN BOSTON, SHOWS WHAT GIANTS ARE DOING
N ashville, tenn.. May so.—
The smart 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 twlrlers 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.
Hirsig 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 hollered
"wolf” so often.
Vols Secure Dye. ^
Schwartz has landed a portslder
named Dye. whose wotk 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 had performer, and Bill
has an idea that, with a new system
be 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.
Gibson Surprise* Fan*.
Frank Gibson, the ex-Tiger back
ed op, has set the bugs nutty with his
flashy work behind the plate, for he
is jammed full of ginger, and although
he Ip merely a kid he Is a wise little
ball player. One great beauty about
him is nia ability to bat either right
or left handed, according to the wing
used by the opposing pitcher, and he
has been driving the pill all'over the
lot. Gibby will be kept in the game
as long as he puts up his present
brand of ball, for Schwartz is a su
perstitious manager and claims he will
not break up the present winning
combination.
Daley a Disappointment.
It Is for that same reason that Jud
Daley is allowed to stay In left fleld,
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
rhow 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 nof 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 ho \»
as fast as chain lightning and makes
hard catches look easy. With the
ash. he has done little to call out
scouts from the majors. Schwartz
sent him in against Memphis as
a pinch hitter; and possibly it
was due to his overanxiety to break
in with a bang, but he handled him
self at the plate in a very unimpres
sive manner, almost breaking his back
on three wide ones.
It won’t hurt however, to keep him
around, for 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 fleld
and has gazed dumbly at some drives
a faster man could have pulled down.
Callahan a Marvel.
Dave Callahan In center ha* made
the bugs forget all about Harry Wei-
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.

BfG LEAGUI GOSSIP
N I0W 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 boys 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
than that displayed by the Athletics.
Five clubs have an outside chance In the contention in the American League. They are Philadelphia,
Washington, Boston, Cleveland and Chicago. Cleveland has been the Brooklyn of the American League, sur
prising all the prophets.
Poaslbly the Kruppe do not know It,
but If we were building armor plate we
should consult Mr. Zbyezko on his par-
ticuiar brand of ivory.
Mr. Brlmingham is quoted as saying
that the team he has to beat in order
to win the pennant is the White Sox.
Mr Birmingham has a broken leg. This
shows that there is a direct connection
between the leg and the brain.

T HE Athletics still lack good pitch
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 1n tbe
league. They should win the pennant,
and will take lots of games in the
long home string of battles scheduled
for Shlhe Bark now. The pitching
staff will buck up In tbe next month,
too, because CoQmbs should return to
the game, as he Is rapidly recovering
from Ills Illness. Plank Is nearly In
vincible, and Bender Is much better
than he was last season.

I T was predicted when “Ed” Walsh
took to the bench that the Chi
cago White Sox would take to the
bushes, but It has not been so. Calla
han's team has been winning ball
games without Walsh. Russell, Ben*
and Scott have all been 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-
pristsl to see them crowd the Wash
ington team, which has lieen the big
gest disappointment of the recognlfted,
pennant possibilities. Griffith ha>
i>eon 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 beaten last week.

T HERE Is a rumor in the National
1-eagne 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 1
the great hitter. But Murphy wants
a big price for him. to be paid in
players, and most of the bidders re
fuse to give up the talent demanded.
Zimmerman would be a great ball
player for any club In the league
where his temperament would fit in,
but it requires a positive hand to
guide him. He Is very strong-willed.
Ho would make a fine man for the
Giants, lie-cause his hitting right now
would help the team along to a large
extent, but it is doubtful whether
Murphy would consider a trade with
McOraw, since he would be 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, (ts htli
home and most of his friends are in
the Bronx. He would also like the
chance to cut in on the world’s Series
money, which all the Giants stUI be
lieve they will do.

OEYERAL Amorienn Tx>ngue clubs
T nre complaining about the atti
tude of the Cleveland players on the
fleld. They refuse to speak to an
opposing athlete except to Insult him,
and they are fighting all the time.
Birmingham insists on this, and it
seems to base worked out well with
Ills club. Tt 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 witli 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 *0.—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.”
