THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANI? NEWS.
By Percy H. Whiting.
B ILL SMITH has gone out after
the pennant. He never had
less intention In his life of trail
ing along in aerond or third place
than he has right now. "The rag or
nothing" is his motto.
His scheme is to get pitchers. With
the hurling staff built up the thing
will be a picnic.
The idea is that never before in the
league’s history has the Cracker team
been a** strong as now. barring the
batteries. Chapman seems to have
strengthened the 'catching depart
ment. The pne weak spot is the slab.
Smith realizes that this is th“
chance of hie career for grabbing hie
third pennant for Atlanta H4s team
is a rip-snorter. With efficient pitch
ing it will win "away off
As a financial venture the buying
of some good pitchers will be big
business. The team as it stands is
only a moderately expensive one. Five
thousand spent for pitchers to-day
* w’ould be back through the box office
window® in a few weeks. And you
don’t have to tell Bill that.
Just at present Bill has no pitchers
in sight. But he is spending about
seventeen bucks a day for telegrams,
and if any club has any real pitchers
they''want to sell for real money they
can find a buyer—and find him mighty-
quick.

’"THURSDAY'S game, won by Mont-
1 gomery, 7 to 4, wasn’t lost by bad
pitching. Of course Brady was reach
ed for 13 hit®, but half of them were
rank scratches. It was an unlucky,
poorly played sort of a game. But
the Crackers were everlastingly in
earnest. They meant to wdn it and
i never stopped trying.
The thing that hurt about the de
feat w r as to lose to Case. The old lad
gave up 12 hits, but he kept them
about as well scattered as 12 hits
could be scattered, and by dint of al
lowing no base® on balls and not get
ting tangled up with any of the Bili-
kens’ three errors he scored a win.
But any time Charley Case gives
the Crackers 12 hits and escapes alive
it’s time to call the police.
* * *
"DILLY SMITH is about due to give
the Crackers a shakeup on some
of the rudimentary points of team
play. They have gotten in the way
of leaving bases uncovered and of
bumping on fly balls that is abso
lutely distressing. Smith's teams do
not usually pull that variety of base
ball.
r
[ F Johnny Dobbs' Montgomery
team regularly plays the sort ot
baseball it showed yesterday it isn't
i! a bad ball club at all. It hit won
derfully well off Old Reliable Brady,
fielded pretty handily and played
with a peck of pep. Old J. Dobbs is
still a rattling good coacher and he
has his men working at high speed
—when they are winning. We hope
to see how they lose soon. w r hich is
another thing entirely.
* * *
* COME hitting phenomena were ob-
^ seryable Thursday.
(iiief among them w r as the fact
that King v Brady made four hits out
of four times up. The King hasn’t
ordinarily been known as a healthy
slugger, but he was going like Ty
Cobb Thursday and seemed to be
dead in earnest. Maybe the old boy
is salting away a place as an out
fielder after his pitching days are
done.
Walker and Bailey made a couple
of hits each, which helped out their
averages, but the best hitting of the
day, outside of that done by Brady,
was Jansen’s four safeties out of
five up.
* * *
TJ ECAUSE Federal Decoration Day
isn’t such a howling holiday here
and because a Saturday double head
er looks like the works the Atlanta
club has had its extra game trans
ferred from Friday to Saturday. This
afternoon’s game will start at the
usual time, 3:45. To-morrow after
noon there will be a double header.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of next week the Crackers hit the
road, but they will be back again
Thursday.

No Practice for Few
Days at Local Track
No riding was done at Jack Prince’s
Motordrome Thursday; none will be
done Friday', but probably they will
get at it a bit on Saturday. The car
penters had the track Thursday, the
painters will have it Friday and the
wire-stringers may grab it off Sat
urday. By Monday it will be opened
up for regular practice, but Sunday
it will be spick and span in order
that those who come out to hear the
free band concert may see it at its
best.
A special car service to the Motor

to accommodate those who will go out
to see the new track. The band will

S AN FRANCISCO, May 30.—Just
how many world’s championship
matches there will be in and
around San Francisco on July Fourth
is a matter of conjecture. Already
a heavyweight affair for Daly City
and a lightweight bout at some point
nearer home are talked of. Some
wag has suggested that if Kilbane
could be induced to defend his title
over at Richmond and Coulon could
be prevailed upon to hazard his ban
tam laurels at South San Francisco
we would break all records in the
matter of blue ribbon jousts and focus
the eyes of the world on the city by
the Golden Gate.
Even with what is contemplated,
however, it looks as though we may
have too much of a good thing. San
Francisco in Panama Exposition*year
might be able to take ample care
of a few world’s championships as
simple side show’s on any given day,
but just now we are hardly up to the
task of providing the sinews of war
for a brace of top-notch pugilistic
encounters. However, this is a thing
that will probably regulate itself later.
For the present interest is confined
to what the promoters are doing.
Eddie Graney, who controls the
July permit for San Francisco, is
working a Willie Ritchie-Joe Rivers
match for the Fourth. The latest
is that Rivers’ manager, one Joe Levy,
has agreed to let his boy box. for
Graney and that Graney is going to
Los Angeles to discuss terms and
fix up the deal. Billy Nolan. w r ho
is piloting Ritchie, has already as
sured Graney of the champion’s serv
ices.
• * •
I F Rivers gets the match with
Ritchie he may consider himself
a lucky fellow. It would have been
very easy for Nolan to have named
any one of several other lightweights
who would have been just as accept
able to the general public. Usually
a championship event is supposed to
be between the titleholder and the
man who is considered his most for
midable rival, but a little searching of
the records will show that Rivers has
not qualified for the chance to the
exclusion of others.
As a matter of fact, Tommy Mur
phy is the one best entitled to
a match with Ritchie, but Tommy
does not seem to be clamoring for
recognition. Then there is the new
boy, Bud Anderson, who seems to be
cpming along like a house afire. He
is a bud by name and a bud by na
ture apparently, whereas Rivers and
a few others are certainly full-bloom.
The public always* cottons to a
youngster like Anderson, who shows
a big improvement every time he per
forms. There* is always speculation
as to how much more he t an accom
plish. Like Rivers’ case, if his match
es with Wolgast. Mandot and Leach
Cross afford any criterion, the full
limit of ability has been reached and
Joe is no more worthy of considera
tion as a championship contender
than Mandot, Leach Cross or Ad Wol
gast.
* * *
T3CD ANDERSON, who is in town,
■*-' through Manager Donald ex
pressed a desire to be matched with
RRchie should there be anv hiten
in the plans for bringing Rivers and
Ritchie together. ft may be that
Anderson will not get his wish, but
if he keeps going ahead by leaps and
bounds a« he has done since he be
gan his ring career a comparatively
short while ago. he will have to he
reckoned with before very- long. Even
as it is the question of lightweight su
premacy can not be regarded as defi
nitely settled until Anderson has been
given an opportunity to bid for the
title.
Manager Donald and Anderson will
appear at one theater in Portland
while Ritchie is filling an engagement
at another, and while the footlights
excitement is at its height Anderson
will challenge Ritchie.
"To show that we mean business
we will offer Ritchie a side bet of
$5,000," said Donald. "It may be
this will attract Nolan’s attention, as
very few of the boys who want a
crack at the championship are pre
pared to back themselves in that
amount.’’
This makes it look as though there
will be some fight talk up North dur
ing Anderson-Ritohie week.
BR00KHAVEN GOLF COURSE
TO BE EIGHTEEN HOLES
The Brookhaven golf course is to be
18 holes in the very near future.
Plans have already been drawn for
the enlargement of the present course.
This announcement was made last
night by Robert F. Maddox, president
of the Capital City Club and Capital
City Country Club, as the Brook-
haven Club will be known when the
Capital City’s one-year lease becomes
effective June 1.
The present course at Brookhaven
is regarded as one of the sportiest in
the country, and with nind additional
holes it should be in a cla<ss wntb the
very best of the country.

Gibbons Stops Perry
In Second Hound
PITTSBURG, PA., May 30—Mike
Gibbons, Ihe St. Paul sensation,
stopped Jimmy Perry, of this city, in
the second round of their scheduled
six-round bout here last night.
The outcome of the bout was a
complete surprise to the fans here, as
they had looked for Jimmy to give the
St. Paul boy a tough argument. Sev
eral rights and lefts to the body, fol
lowed by some stiff punches to the
jaw, finished the Pittsburg boy.
Gibbons put up one of the greatest
scraps seen here in some time. His
flashy footwork and his rapid blows
drew round® of.applause from the
spectators. Perry seemed unable to
get started, and did not land three
blows In the two rounds.

saw him defeat Frank Klaus deci
sively In their ten-round mill.
The Pittsburger was outclassed all
the way and was hanging on at the
close in dread of the knockout. The
victory was so complete that there
was no difference of opinion, though
it was a "no decision" affair.
The bout was staged in Washing
ton Park, the playing grounds of the
American Association baseball club,
and coming on the eve of the big 500-'
mile auto race, drew hundreds of
strangers, among them many women
for whom the boxes were reserved.
