THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS,
By Joe Afrler.
N ashville, tenn., June
We "win*’ an easy game at
last. We've played 48 hard
jrame* this season, winning: two
dozen and lowing two dozen. And
we’ve had to wrestle with every one
of them. Yesterday we took one
when there wasn't even any team
there to offer resistance.
I think we'll make It stick, too.
The VoLs didn’t even show up at
the park, and we had to get In by
joshing the groundkoeper. We put
on our uniforms and lined up at 4
o’clock. Manager Smith named Joe
Dunn umpire and Price and Chap
man furnished the battery. Price
pitched the customary three strikes,
Umpire Dunn declared the game for
feited to us and we went hack to
the hotel.
It was pretty soft
I don't know how the row will end,
but it will be put right up to Presi
dent Kavanaugh, and he will doubt
less decide it right away.
Manager Smith bases his conten
tion that the Vols should play us
to-day on the following letter he re
ceived in Atlanta from President
Hirsig:
May 26, 1913
Mr. William Smith, Manager At
lanta Pall Club, Atlanta:
Dear Sir—Received your letter
in reference to your playing here
next Sunday, and beg advise that
we are making arrangements ac
cordingly. We will have our
schedule ready June 1, 2 and 3,
but 1 think really it would be
best to play on 3d and 4th. How
ever, it might rain on one of
these days. We will have all of
the week and can easily arrange
this after you arrive here. Yours
truly,
WILLIAM HIRSIG, President.
As soon as Billy saw that there was
going to be a kick he wired all par
ticulars to President Kavanaugh and
received from him this telegram:
Little Rock, June 1, 1913.
William Smith. Manager Atlanta
Baseball Club, Duncan Hotel,
Nashville. Tenn.:
Original schedule calls for
games June 2. 3 and 4. If .any
change-s in schedule were made, it
was done without notice to this
office. However, had I been con
sulted, 1 would have consented to
any changes which the two
clubs had agreed to. Show this
to umpires and Hirsig, and say
to them that games must be
played according to agreement,
between you and them, whatevor
it was.
WILLIAM K. KAVANAUGH.
That’s the way it stands now.
In my personal opinion. there
isn’t a chance now for the club to
lose the protest.
‘King’’ Brady will work to-day,
with Chapman catching. Bill
Schwartz will send Beck against us,
with Gibson catching. It ought to be
a great battle.
We leave to-night and expect to
play a postponed game with Mont
gomery in Atlanta Wednesday after
noon.
ELBERFELD NOW HAS

CHATTANOOGA, TENN., June 3.—
Manager Llberfeld has purchased Pitch
er Kroh from the Memphis club.
Hunt, secured from Victoria, was re
turned. Elberfeld now has three south
paws. in Kroh, Coveleskie and Som

Standing of the Clubs.
I T is an odd fact that folks who
would not willingly monkey with
a buzz saw or wittingly Juggle
cans of nitro-glycerine while they
were standing still will blithely flirt
with death at high speed and seem
to enjoy it.
The riders gathered for the open
ing of Jack Prince’s Motordrome Fri
day night must necessarily graze
death every time they practice or
race. Theirs is one of the most dan
gerous callings in the world. A man
would naturally suppose that they
would not risk their necks unless they
were called on to do it. Yet they do.
Yesterday afternoon Wilmer Rich
ard. known to the neck-breaking pro
fession as “Tex,” and Harry Swartz—
"Mile-High Harry” of Denver gave
an exhibition of riding double that
for sheer foolhardiness could not he
equalled outside the ranks of aero
plane artists. And they did it "just
for fun.’’
Rode Double at High Speed.
Several times in the past they have
ridden “double,” with Swartz in the
saddle and Richards dangling off be
hind. seated on a flimsy luggage car
rier, with no place to put his feet
and no place to put his hands, save
on the shoulders of Swartz. But in
the past they took the track at a
moderate speed. Monday, however,
thev went out in a race with Harry
Glenn and for mile after mile they
raced at the full speed of the ma
chine—which must have been a good
bit better than 70 miles an hour—
riding all the way on the 58-degree
part of the track, with the machine
and their bodies at right angles to
the tilted track and practically par
allel with the ground.
Slipped—Just in Time.
Finally Mrs. Swartz waived her
husband down and he obediently
stopped to And that the rear tire
of the machine had just sustained a
puncture and that another circle of
the track would undoubtedly have
meant a nasty accident and perhaps
a fatality. Mrs. Swartz, the bride
of less than a month, had played one
of her life-staving presentments and
had stopped her husband just in
time to save him a bad tumble.
Later in the afternoon Richards,
“Jock” McNeil and Harry Glenn,
riding road machines, engaged in a
combination endurance run-steeple-
chase-go-as-you-pleaso race, in which
McNeil had the advantage in speed,
but Glenn in endurance. The At
lanta rider circled the track until it
was almost totally dark and then
stopped only because he was ordered
off. He Vnust have ridden consider
ably over a hundred miles during the
afternoon—which seems like a good
bit of riding under ordinary circum
stances, but which is not so much
when you go safely at a speed of 70
miles an hour.
Excelsior (Machine Coming.
Word was received Monday about
the missing Excelsior racing machine,
and it should be at the track this
afternoon. This is Harry Swartzs
machine and he is anxious to get it in
time to have it perfectly tuned by
Friday night.
Marty Graves and Georges Renel,
whose machines reached the track
Saturday afternoon, spent Monday in
getting their sheds in order and in
working on their machines.
Renel the famous Frenchman, hns
stablisned himself as though he in-
nded to stay all summer, with every
ool neatly placed in its own especial
ack on the wall and with the interior
>f his shed fixed up as neatly as a
urgeon’s instrument case.
The ticket sale progressed well
vesterday. Manager Prince has ar
ranged tickets with a rain check at
tached so that anybody buying a
ticket will be sure to get an admis
sion Friday night or some other night
for his money.

First Wireless Sent
By Auburn College
MOBILE, ALA.,'June 3.—The first
message from the new wireless sta

Thomas A. Edison, was sent last night
to the wireless station in this city and

A rrangements were complet

The Montgomery club accepted the
offer of the Crackers to come to At

be here in good order Wednesday
morning. The Crackers will blow At

RECORD FIELD
OFF IS 5. S. I.
By W. R. Tiehenar.
M ontgomery, ala., June 3.—
A field of enormous propor
tions got away this morning
in the twelfth annual tournament of
the Southern Golf Association.
So large is the field that it will
take steady work all the day to get
them qualified. Early indications
were that more players would tee off
to-day than ever faced the starter
before in a S. G. A. event.
A big field put in a final day of
practice yesteTday. It was estimated
that about 175 players circled th©
course once or twice.
Strange to relate, no exceptionally
good scores were recorded, despite
the fact that the course was fast and
Jack Edrington. of Memphis, cham
pion of 1910, who is regarded as a
dangerous contender this year for th©
honors held by W. P. Stewart, of
New Orleans, turned in an 82 for his
only round of the day.
Match play will start to-morrow
and will continue all the week.
The field for this event seems a pe
culiarly representative one. Several
Texas golfers are on hand, as well as
representatives from one or more
clubs from every State represented in
the S. G. A. territory.
