PROTEST GOES ♦ TO By Joe Agler. Tk TASHv'nyLE, TENS , June 3.— We “win” an oaiy gam** at last. We’ve played 4H hard gatm-s thi# winning two dozen and losing 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 ground keeper. We put on our uniform* and lined up at 4 o'clock. Manager Smith named Joe Dunn umpire and Price and Chap man furnished the battery. Prico pitched the customary three strikes. Umpire Dunn declared the game for feited to us and we went back to the hotel. It was pretty soft. 1 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 Voi# should play us to-day on the following letter he re ceived in Atlanta from President Hirsig: May 28. 1913. Mr. William Smith, Manager At lanta Hall 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 I tbtnk 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 Yours truly. WILLIAM HIRSIG. President- As soon as Billy saw that there was going to be a kick he wired oil par ticulars to President KaVonaugh and received from him this telegram: Little Rock, Jutip 1, 1913. William Smith, Manager Atlanta Baseball Club. Duncan Hotel, Nashville. Tenn.: Original schedule calls for games June 2. 3 and 4. If any changes in schedule were made, it was done without notice to this office. However, had 1 been con sulted, I would have consented to any changes which the two clubs had agreed to. Show this to umpires and Hirsig. and say to them that grumes ninut bo played according to agreement, between you and them, whatever WILLIAM K. KAVANAUOH. That’s the way It stands now. In my personal opinion, there isn’t a chance now for the club to lose the protect. “King” Bra/dy will work to-day, with Ohaptnan catching. Bill Sehwgrtz 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.

I T la an odd foot that folks who would not willingly monkey with a buzz saw or wittingly Juggle cans of nltro-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 Wiltner 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 be 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 ear lier. 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, they 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 find 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-saving presentments and had stopped her husband Just in time to save him a bad tumble. Later in the afternoon Richards. “Jock” McNeil and Harry Glerm. riding road machines, engaged in a combination endurance run-steeple- rhase-go-as-you-please 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 must 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 Swartz's 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, has established himself as though he in tended to stay all summer, with every tool neatly placed in its own especial rack on the wall and with the interior of his shed fixed up as neatly a* a surgeon’s instrument case. The ticket sale progressed well yesterday 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.

Rube Marquard Advises Pitchers o o o © © o © « Says Control Is Main Essential DYSON BEATS WEBBER. NEW YORK, June 3.—Eddie Web ber was payed from a knock-out at the hands of YOung Dyson last night when Referee Dab Tone stopped the unequal contest in the third round of their ten-round bout. By Rube Marquard. (Star Southpaw of tha Champion Giants ana holder of tha World'* Reoord of Nineteen Cortaec- utive Victoria*.) I N baseball, as In all other profes sions. there will alway* be plenty of room for good men. The rule holds for every position, but partic ularly for those spaciallata known us pitchers. For I think that pitching is more than half the game. Let me illustrate by the club standings of the National League. Philadelphia is setting the pace in a manner to make all tne rest of us uncomfortable. The pitching staff of the leaders ha* been one of the very few in major league baseball to show real consistency of form. Dooin has four or five twirlers in mid-season shape; the answer is a club away out in front. Outside his battery strength the Quaker leader has not a notice able advantage over any of three or four rivals I do not think the Phil lies as good a collection as Giants. Cubs or Pirates. On paper Cincinnati might be rat ed almost as highly as the Dooinites. Yet the Tinker clan is trailing miles behind the procession. This great gap between the pace-makers and the trailers is largely a difference in pitching effectiveness. Brooklyn, with a well balanced team, is making a very game fight, chiefly because Dahlen’s box corps— particularly Rucker. Ragon and Allen —upholds its end. Pittsburg is in the second division simply because Clarke’s wonderful box talent has failed so far to deliver up to its true standard. It therefore stands to reason that a good pitcher is pretty sure of a good salary in the major leagues. To the prospective pitching phenoms. then. I would like to offer a few words of advice. If my own experi ence will benefit any one toward the goal of his ambition he is quite wel come to any information I may be able to furnish. Southpaws in Demand. Being a left-hand pitcher I am nat urally most interested in southpaws. I am sure the field for aspirants along this specialty is quite ample to sat isfy the greatest ambition. There are few enough sterling port-side tossers in this age of speed. For the natural tendency of the profession is toward left-handed hitting. It cuts down the distance to first base considerably, a matter of great moment in beating In field taps. As left-handed pitching is the very best solution for left-handed hitting it goes wl'hottt saying that a competent southpaw will always be in great demand. Not every player, of couroo, is qual ified to become proficient In the pitch Ing art. Ther« are many physical qualifications. Most managers are prejudiced against little pitchers Few of them have tha physical power and endurance to stand the strain of nina tight inning*, let alone the stam ina necessary to outlast a rival In an overtime dual. A pitcher mu«t ba very strong to stand the wear and tear of regular duty He must be especially strong in his throwing arm and in his hands. A good finger grip is absolutely nec essary to control properly the varia tions of delivery. Long fingers prove a great help They afford a much better purchase on the ball. I need not go into a technical treatise on the art of pitching Moat every boy fond of outdoor sports is familiar with the chief principles *»f curving a baseball. The aptituae with which he masters these principles should give him a fair idea of his pitching possibilities. Unless one is bom with the knack of throwing properly he is not likely to retain the enthusiasm necessary for the proper development of pitching skill. Perfection cornea only through the most diligent practice. Speed a Great Asset. Speed, or the power to throw a ball swiftly, is a very great asset. Wal ter Johnson. Joe Wood and Thief Bender depend greatly upon this at tribute. Yet none of them could get away with sheer speed alone. Rivals would scon learn to gauge it. So all of these men are equipped w ith many other forms of delivery. They use curves and slow balls mixed in with the speed so that the batter is al ways kept guessing. It is well for a beginner to realize at once that he must learn to vary his speed. This ability i* known as a change of pace. Through its grace manv pitchers who do not possess speed of merit are able to go on fooling the best of batsmen A pitcher should always remember to surround himself with a* much mystery as possible. He must hide from the batter the kind of ball he White City Park Now Open intends to throw. If a batter knows a curve is coming he is quite likely to hit it hard; but if a curve comes where a fast ball ia expected he is quite as likely to be fooled. Hence comes style. The good pitch er Is the one who uses the same mo tion for every delivery. He never tips off what he intends to throw. It takes long practice to acquire this cunning. Mastery of style and repertoire, however, is only a small beginning toward true effectiveness. More than half of tha secret of success hinge* about control. It makes no difference how cunningly a pitcher may “break” the ball, he will be absolutely worth less unless he can throw just about where he alma. The plate is only 17 inches wide, and for a strike the ball must pass somewhere over It between the batter’s knees and shoul der* to be a strike. Target Always Changing. Now. batters are of different sizes and possessed of different styles. Some stand erect, some crouch, some crowd the plate, others stand away back. So that the target, as well as the difficulties of locating it, are al ways changing. The pitcher stands approximately 65 feet away from the “platter,” bo that he mbst necessa rily be very expert in his aim to “work the corners” properly. The value of control is best illus trated, perhaps, in the brilliant ca reer of Christy Mathewson. This greatest of all pitchers rarely hits a batsman; he seldom gives a pass. He pitches less balls to the game than any rival. And by getting away with the very least effort Mathewson is not only able to achieve the greatest success, but also to conserve his won derful powers and energy. GIANTS SEND PERRYMAN TO ROANOKE BALL CLUB EMORY COWbEGE. OXFORD. GA.. June 3.—Key Perryman, the elongated preacher-pitcher of Emory College, who was placed upon the ineligible list by the National Commission, for failing to re port to Manager TMcGraw, of the New York Giants, has been reinstated and farmed to Roanoke, of the Virginia League. Perryman received a telegram this morning from the oRanoke manager urg ing him to report as soon as Emory closed and instructing him to get thor ough work-outs every day.

VH£ EVANS CHEMICAL CO., CtacUMfl.a B rooklyn, n. y., June 3.— There is nothing accidental about the wonderful showing of the Brooklyn baseball team in this season’s National League race; there is nothing of the flash in the pan va riety about the team’s present gait toward the top rung of the standing of the clubs; the team is not playing above its natural strength, as some fans think. No, sir-ee—far from it all. President Charles H. Ebbets is authority for the statement that the players in winning series from Bos ton, Giants, Chicago and Cincinnati have only put up their regular game, and that with an even break of luck the Dodgers will finish right up with the leaders. Col. Ebbets explained at great length the secret of Brooklyn’s show ing this season, which has been the sensation of the big leagues. This is why thousands lately have been proud to call Brooklyn a home; “After years of experimenting Man ager Dahlen has finally rounded up a championship team. Every man is young, fa*t, ambitious and confident. The pitching staff, while a little late in starting, will prove to be one of the best in the league. Fisher, at short, has plugged a weak spot and the in field now is working like a charm. Wheat and Stengel in the outfield have shown their ability, and Moran or possibly Benny Meyer* will take care of right field. The team has in Otto Miller a catoher with few equals. Absolute harmony exists and each player i* confident that the team will either win the pennant or finish well up in the race.” Dahlen Is Modest. The explanation of President Eb bets of the Dodgers’ strength and weakness came after the refusal of Manager Dahlen to tell how he has finally put Brooklyn on the baseball map, the first time since 1900. The interview took place in the club’s office at Ebbets field. The players, indulging in morning prac tice, were having a busy time out on the diamond. The office force was working like beavers on attendance figures and other matters. President Ebbets paused in his labors long enough to phone to the clubhouse for Manager Dahlen, after the visitor made known his mission. “Come up to the office. Bill," called the Dodgers’ boss. Presently with the timidity of a schoolboy, the uniform ed figure of Manager Dahlen tiptoed into the high sanctum. Boss Charley greeted Manager Bill with one of those “Now do your prettiest looks.” Everything was set for a corking good story. The whole truth about the Brooklyn team was about to be re vealed. “Now, Manager Dahlen,’’ began the interviewer, “will you please tell us how you formed your team and how you consider its prospects?” A jackknife closing up didn’t have anything on the way Dahlen’s jaws contracted. The manager forgot him self for a second when he said he didn’t care to talk baseball and had nothing to say about his players. But Col. Ebbets, seeing that his modest manager wouldn’t talk, play ed the role of a pinch hitter and came to bat with an interview that gave'in detail the merits of each player and the nine’s ability and outlook in the race. First the club president paid a big tribute to Bill Dahlen—“Bad Bill” of the old days he spent on the Polo MAH [ES HAIR SI iRi \IGH T SOFT 1 AND 1 SILKY or we ship express prepaid epos Full particulars mailed on * RXELENTO never falls to do what it claims.

Weeded Out Disorganizes. Mr. Ebbets thinks that his leader should be classed with the most prominent baseball generals, so John McGraw. Connie Mack and Frank Chance please edge over and make room for William Dahlen in the gal lery of great managers. “When Dahlen came here four years ago.” began Ebbets, “he found a team composed of disorganizes, loafers and men w’ho had no right to be on a big league team. He finally weeded out these players, and to show proof of his judgment not one man that he ever let go was claimed by a major league club. To discover and develop good men takes time, but Dahlen was tireless in his work. Some players I have rounded up myself, but I leave all the final details to the manager. “After three years Bill has a col lection of young players working in perfect harmony with one point in mind—to do the best for their club. It would do your heart good to see the way they work and every one believes in the team’s ability to <?omje out on top. I have sat in the grand stand and watched the men in some hard games and I haven’t spotted the least sign of a check in their play.” Dahlen Developed Runners. According to Ebbets. Manager Dah len has constructed a scoring ma chine and a steam roller attachment, too. It was Bill’s aim, said Colonel Ebbets. to form a team of fast base runners. This season’s team has been the speediest In years and all the credit must go to William Dahlen, who, under adverse conditions, has at last gitpeB ;Brooklyn a team that it might well be proud of. And what about the Giants? Well, McGraw and Dahlen are man agers of teams in the big city, laugh ingly declared Ebbets, and it isn’t polite to talk about your neighbors. The Dodgers’ owner wound up his interview with a peep into the future. The National League race looks to Ebbets like one grand free-for-all fight with the Brooklyn hopefuls al ways in the thick of the battle. “Give us an even break of luck and one more high-grade pitcher.” con cluded Mr. Ebbets. “and we’ll come mighty near winning the pennant.” RFCORD FIELD OFF IN S. G. A. MOTOR RACES Grand opening June 6. Ten raees. Start 8:30 p. m. Admission 25c. Grandstand 25c extra. Old Circus Grounds By W. R. Tichenor. 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 n practice yesterday. It was estimated that about 175 players circled the course once or twice. Strange to relate, no exceptionally good scores were recorded, despite the fact that the course was foot and fit. Jack Edrington. of Memphis, cham pion of 1910, who is regarded as a " dangerous contender this year for the 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. BASEBALL INJURY FATAL. ST. LOUIS, June 3.—Frederick G. Whittemore.
