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. Sporting Food acoftOft ft. ATHLETES.

Perfect Ly MY PEAR- pfR'FECriyfj MATHMS 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. TRUSSES Abdominal Support*, Elastic Hosiery, etc Expert fitter*; both lady and me* attendants; private fitting rooms Jacobs' Main Store 6-8 Marietta St. 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.” White City Park Now Open BicG Care* in 1 t« 5 dayi unnatural discharges.
