RECORD A Till
By Percy II. Wliiting.
I F the weather at pa me time thla
afternoon la mifflclently salubrious
(Noah Webster please write) we
are likely to give Birmingham some
thing more to think about In the
matter of attendance. It wouldn't
be surprising; the mid-week record
pot a Jar.
For there will certainly be some
few enthusiasts at Ponce DeLeon ball
park.
This Is Grocers’ and Butchers' Day.
The grocers, butchers and a lot of
wholesalers will close this afternoon
for the first time and are going to
celebrate In various ways, but chief
ly by going to the ball park.
The local team has gone to con
siderable expense In getting the
Montgomery club here and expects
a big crowd for the occasion.
"D IGHT now*, while the local crowds
^ are standing up close around the
high water mark and the league Is
more prosperous than ever before In
its career It might be well to pro
pound the question:
"Are Southern League club© being
run on a business basis and If they
aren’t what’s going to become of
them?”
Carleton Molesworth sounded a note
of warning the other day In the fol
lowing statement:
The managers in this league are
spending too much money for
the receipts they get. The atten
dance does not justify the dis
bursements now being made.
Three cities in the league are
drawing well and they are Mobile,
Atlanta and Birmingham. Others
are hardly paying the guarantee
except on holidays.
The next big change In the
league is bound to be a curtail
ment of expenses and it may com#
quicker than we expect. I have
no kick to offer in Birmingham
because the people there certainly
support a ball club superbly.
Whether you are winning or loa-
Ina, they attend the game. It’s
a big place and we have a great
population to draw from.
• * •
QF course here In Atlanta we
^ haven’t sprung any worry-wrln-
kles nor will we for the next 50
years. The local club Is well backed.
And Atlanta Is a real baseball town.
That Is more than can bo said of
Home of tho other cities In the league,
Including at least one—Memphis—
which has sire enough to turn out
any old crowd.
• • •
In and year out the average
1 Southern League clubs spend too
much for their teams. Year in and
year out the Southern league loses
money—that is. the total of profits of
sill clubs Is less than the total of
losses.
Either the league cities have got to
grow mighty fast to catch up with
the salary limit or else the league
will come a cropper some day.
In the meantime, I guess wo should
not lose sleep over it
e • e
\XfITH new pitchers oomlng Crack-
vv er prospects are looking up
again. Not in years, If ever, has a
Southi’m club bought as many and
as high-priced pitchers and secured
such a weak staff. Look at the slather
of them that Bill Smith had at the
first of the year and how well they
were recommended And look at
what's left now and what they have
beon doing.
It would be extremely helpful 1f
this guy Counzelman turned out to
be a bear. The other man Pittsburg
sent down here, under optional agree
ment—Blsland—turned out to be a
corker. Maybe Counzelman will do
equally well.
While the Crockers were disap
pointed not to get the unrestricted
ownership of Counzelman'p services it
Is an encouraging sign that Bnrney
Dreyfriss would not sell him outright.
It was apparent that he expected the
man to make a real pitcher some day.
Otherwise ho wmuld have preferred
money to his services.
• * •
TV/T AYBE the blight of ptmlt pitcher*
iu Inflicted on Atlanta by the fates
ivaa a blessing In disguise and de
signed to keep up the Interest in base
ball.
Even without pitchers Bill Smith
has been able to keep his club right
up In the race The Crackers are
In auoh a position that with a little
hurling help they can set sail for
the (Julia, with every chancy In the
■world of overtaking them.
I'm looking for a cloae finish this
year.
The Crackers are going to get their
(•trifle after a bit and start winning
Their slump has to end after a bit.
They are In a good position to make
the race. Give them the pltchera and
watch them fly!

College Players and Summer Ball
Bv J. W. HeiRman.
T HIS Is the time of the year when
the college player gets out a
copy of the rules of the South
ern Intcn olleglate Athletic Associa
tion, and reviews them all carefully.
Either he coea this with the idea of
refreshing his mind regarding the
things he must not do If he wishes to
be ellg'olG for college playing again
next spring, or to see if he cannot
work out a way to go and play where
and how he pleases, this summer, and
yet not violate the letter of the laws.
For years the college players all
over the country have been strain
ing at the leash and trying to get
away from the hard and faat rules
that all colleges now’ lay down re
garding summer baseball by their stu
dents; but thus far theTe has been
no lengthening of the chain any
where. In fact at every meeting of
the S. I. A. A. some new law’ is passed
which only ahortona the restraining
rope still more.
• • •
TT Is a well understood rule all over
A the country that one who takes
money for participation 1n any ath
letic event whatsoever above his nec
essary expenses thereby profession
alises himself, for which reason he is
debarred from further athletic asso
ciation with amateurs. In England
they go very much further still. There
only "gentlemen” can be amateurs;
and a gentleman, in this sense, is
defined to be one who has never
worked for a living—that is, one who
hoe never earned money by work, no
matter What kind of work. This
strikes ue &« the height of absurdity,
and It Is safe to say that such a defi
nition of tho amateur will never take
foothold in America.
But while young Americans In
this day and time understand full
well that It Is against the rules of
amateur sport to accept money for
work of tills kind, there are many
each year who do accept It, and who
still oxpeot to engage or continue in
amateur sports, and In college sports
as well. Sometimes they Just bald
ly lie about It when It comes to fill
ing out blanks regarding these points.
But generally, they salve and save
their consciences by making a sale
of an old pair of suspenders, or a
dgST, or a pocket knife to some offi
cer of the summer team with which
thev are playing for the trifling sum
of $60 or $100, as the case may re
quire. Or thay will sit In a little
poker game for ten minutes and have
suffh a run of luck (?) as will net
them, way $50.16 or $100.30. Or the
stipulated remuneration 1s sent by
the manager of the club to the boy s
brother, father or friend, and so
neither he nor any other official of
the summer team has given him a
cent; it Is the relative or friend who
has given It to him.
• • •
•"THEN thwre 1s another rule that
* gives the boys even more trou
ble. This provides that after & boy
has qpce entered college he shall
not thereafter during the summer va
cation play upon or with any but
his "home” team; and his home team
is defined to be one that is in, or
belongs to, the county in which that
boy has legal residence, and has had
that legal residence for at lenst one
year before the ploying of said sum
mer ball (not one year before play
ing college ball with his college team
the spring following his playing with
the summer team).
Well, some of the boys happen to
live in tfnvns or counties where they
don’t have a team of any kind. That’s
a tough proposition, and formerly it
was covered by the vice president
giving a hoy permission under such
conditions to play with some other
nearby team. But of late years the
tendency has more and more been
for the vice president to refuse auch
permits, and that Daves such boys
high and dry.
But In any case most every hoy
gets a chance, yes, several chances,
to play with some team outside his
own county during the summer, and
generally he wants to take the
chance.
Why? Because often enough
there’s money in it. But whether
there is or not, show me the base
ball boy who won’t miss even his
meals to get Into a game of ball most
anywhere whether in the Amazonian
Jungles or on Spitzbergen. Then
when he comes back to college and
wants to play the following .spring
he has either to fib about It or au
tomatically rule himself out of college
ball for that spring by declining to
answer every question and to sign
his blank.
Some boys go off to play wtth a
team not from their home county
and change their true names for that
game. But this tyaa also now been
covered by expree* and adverse leg
islation. Sometimes they strike a
compact with players from other col
leges whom they find with their own
or the opposition team, and all agrreD
to "keep mum” about It; and some
times these packs are kept, while
again they ar© not.
Of course before a boy goes to
college at all he can play with any
team he pleases, whether It comes
from or belongs fn his home coun
ty or not. This is a point not always
understood by the prep players, and
for their benefit I state It.
• » •
A NOTHER rule Is that one must
** never have nlayed even for so
much as a single inning with a team
that is a member of an organized
professional league; and this ap
plies to the boy who has not yet
gone to college aa well as to the one
who has already been to college a
session or two. Nor does it make
any difference that he was "only try
ing out” with the professionals and
failed to make good, or that he re
ceived no money whatever for such
playing. Any PROFESSIONAL
LEAGUE playing knocks him out for
all time and without further ado.
But it is all right to play against
a professional team or professional
players on the same team with the
amateur, so long as 1t is not a pro
fessional league. But competing
against a professional In other sports,
like foot racing, would knocw the am
ateur out.
• * •
T HE foregoing is merely on outline
of the college rules written for
the information and benefit of those
who do not happen to be familiar
with them.
In a future article I will have more
to say regarding the ethical side of
these rules, and what changes. If
any, might with profit be made.
RINGSIDE NOTES
iynn,
battles Jim Savage at the Auditorium-
Armory here on June 13, is the most
•ought after heavyweight Infehe game
to-day. New York wants Flyhn to meet
Gunboat Smith; Boston Is after the
Pueblo heavyweight to take on Frank
Moran, while MoCarey would match
Flynn against either Willard or Smith.
• • •
Although Flynn has been before the
public for many years he Is still one
of the greatest drawing cards among
the boxers of to-day. His style of fight
ing closely resembles that of Battling
Nelson. He Is always on top of his
opponent and gives the fans some real
milling
• • •
When Battling Nelson coined the term
"cheese champion" and hung it on Wil
lie Ritchie, he said a mouthful and
one that is enduring. In fact, quite a
lot of our present champions are falling
all over themselves in their effort to
grab a similar title
• • •
Emil Thlry, manager of Packey Mc
Farland. has accepted the management
of Ernie Zanders, the Chicago welter
weight. Already Emil Is busy trying to
close a match with Mike Gibbons, the
St. Paul sensation.
• • •
Yotmg Shrugrue and Sam Robldeau will
don the gloves for a scheduled, 10-round
battle In Madison Square Garden, New’
York, Thursday night. Both boys are
lightweights.
Bud Anderson at Vernon, Cal., on July
4. will most likely be with. Harry Tren-
dall, the crack lightweight of St. Louis.
• • •
Lea oh mode such a good showing in
his bout with Trendall at the St. Louis
A. C a few w’eeks ago that the officials
of the club have wired an offer to
Sam Wallach to let Iveach fight Tren-
dall a return battle of eight rounds on
June 11.
• • *
Johnny Coulon, bantamweight cham
pion, will take on Frankie Burns at
New York Thursday night. It was this
same Frankie who gave Johnny the bat
tle of his life a few years ago at New
Orleans.
* • •
After the Burns set-to Coulon may
oloso for a bout with KM Williams.
Baltimore has offered $3,000 for the go
and New Orleans and Los Angeles raised
it $5,000.
• • •
Boston fight fans declare Mike Gibbons
the cleverest boxer that has ever ap
peared in their city. Jimmy Ferry
& robably agrees with the "Beantown”
oxing followers.
• • •
The matter of two pounds In weight
Ls all that Is keeping Jack Britton and
Charlie White from meeting In a 10-
round engagement at Kenosha, Wis.
White is holding out for 133 pounds at
6 o’clock, while Britton wants to come
In at 136 pounds at the same time.
ILL LOOKOUTS
NEED. SAYS KID
C HATTANOOGA, June 4.—"Give
cne three good left handers,”
said Kid Elberfeld as soon as
he had analyzed the permanent line
ups of his leading rivals, “and I’ll
capture the rag.” The Kid said this
two months ago, and he says It now.
To be more exact Elberfeld needs
at present but one southpaw to have
his wish fulfilled. He has already
Summers and Coveleskie. ’If Kroh,
who has Just been secured from the
Turtles, live* up to expectations, the
Kid will have no alibi If he falls to
annex the 1913 gonfalon, for the three
southpaws asked will be at his dis
posal.
* • •
’ I 'HE acquisition of Kroh did not oc-
1 casion any great amount of sur
prise locally as bfrth Andrews and
Elberfeld had had their eyes on the
Turtle hurler since first he was seen
in action. The Kid believes that he
ls a corking good man. Coveleskie and
Summers can’t be surpassed, and if
tho latest addition does 75 per cent as
well as his brother portsiders the
Kid will be eminently satisfied.
The sensational winning streaks of
Coveleskie who has won 10 and lost
3 and Summers, who has won 7 and
lost 2 seem to substantiate absolutely
the assertion of Elberfeld that the
Southern this year ls a southpaw’s
league.

Atlantans Star
By W. I\. Tichenor.
M ontgomery, ala., June 4,—
The twelfth annual tourna
ment of the Southern Golf
Association began here yesterday with
an entry of 180 players. Early in
th© day Louis Jacoby, of Dallas, Tex
as, turned in a card of 76. Later
this was tied by Nelson Whitney, a
farmer champion, whose qualifying
round was the first he had ever played
over the course. For aLmost all day
It looked as if Whitney and Jacoby
would have to play off the tie for
the low qualifying score prize, but
in the afternoon, when nearly all of
the cards were In, R. G. Bush, of New
Orleans, finished h1s round with a
75, which w’as the lowest score in
the tournament.
R. R. Brooke had a fine chance to
beat Bush’s score when he got “out”
in 36, but he went bad on thft l&st
four holes coming home, taking three
punts to each of the greens and fin
ished with 77.
Audubon Team Wins.
In tl>e team match the Audubon
Club, of New Orleans, was again the
winner, -with a total of 310; the Dal
las Country Club was second with
317; Atlanta was third with 328.
Seven Atlanta players qualified in
the championship division. Of this
number W. R, TicKenor led with 80
and W. H. Rowan was second with 81.
The other scores made by Atlantans
were: G. W. Adair, 83; Dowdell
Brown, 84; R, G. Blanton, 84; CL E.
Cowan, 86; H. Block, Sfi.
The Atlanta players who qualified
in the second division were W. Grif
fith, 89: C. V. Rainwater, 89; D. H.
Root, 8$; R, P. Jones, 91; W. P. Ha
zelwood, 91. Captain E. T. Winston,
T. B. Halne, Ormond Smith, C. E.
Rose and Dr. Joe Bby failed to qual
ify.
The going in the tournament is
faster than it has ever been In any
former Southern championship. A
difference of only sixteen strokes was
shown between the first and the nine
ty-sixth man.
It took as good a* an 87 to get Into
the championship division, which will
contain 64 players this year. It re
quired 91 to get into the second divi
sion, which la composed of 32 playera
o o o
in Golf Tourney
The surprise of the tournament was
the failure of Whitney Bouden, J.
W. S. Rhea and Albert Mallory fo
get into the championship flight.
How Atlantans Are Matched.
In the first round of the match plav
which began this morning the Atlan
ta players were matched as follows:
II. B. Lock vs. R. G. Bush, Dowdell
Brown v. R. H. Baugh, G. W. Adair
vs. Gunter Watkins, W. R. Tichenor
vs. S. J. Jernigan, W. H Rowan vs.
O. H. R, Nicholson. C. E. Corwin vs.
J. B. Bush, R. G. Blanton vs. J. B.
Cobb. In the second division the At
lanta men are paired as follows: W.
Griffith vs. G. B. Edgar, W. P. Ha-
zlewood vs. A. J. Mapes, D. E. Root
vs. W. A. Gunter, R. P. Jones vs.
Whitney Bouden, C. V. Rainwater
vs. R. P. Hagan.
The course is In fine condition, but
is lightning fast.
It Is regretted that F. G. Byrd and
W. P. Stewart, former champions, are
missing their first Southern cham
pionship.
In a practice round yesterday after
noon Louis Jacoby broke the record
of the course when he made a 68.

to yourself ls an unusual oc
currence. Yet this .is what took
place here when Pitcher William
E. Essick was released by the
Grand Rapids Central League
club. He was the only member of
the pitching staff not yet in con
dition, and as it was necessary to
reduce the number of players to
conform with the league limit, Es
sick was the victim.
The release was drawn up by
President William E. Essick, of
the Grand Rapids t club, with all
the customary details. Preslden;
Essick then placed himself before
a mirror and made a speech in
which he expressed his regret that
the league rules made it necessa
ry for him to release his favorite
pitcher.
The document was tendered, by
the president’s right hand and ac
cepted by his left. Thus President
Essick released himself as a pitch
er of the team of which he is pres
ident and majority stockholder.
Essick is a warm weather pitch
er and says he probably will sign
himself again In midseason.

Be Wise! Make YonrOwn Ice Cream
Of course, ycra know that home-mad« ice crasuns, sherbet* or tee* are.
superior from rrery viewpoint. They are alwsy* sweet, ptrre add
wholesome; there is a flavor and genuine goodness about them thait is
not found in the general run of factory products. Beside* that, when
you make your own preparations you know that the ingredients are
always jrtrre, and that the can is clean and sanitary. The mam reason
why icecream is trade in but comparatively few homes, is the work and
bother connected with the old-
fashioned crank freezer. That
is one reason why the arrivalof
TheMee-Kist’ CranMess Freezer
will be hailed with delight by
every one who is fond of ice
creams, etc., because it elimi-1
nates the tedious turning of the
crank entirety, and produces
creams, sherbets and toes that
will make your mouth water.
That is one reason, but there
are many others.
DON’T YOU KNOW that the enfoyment of a dish largely depends
upon the manner in which it is served? Could you imagine a daintier
and more appetizing manner of serving ic* creams than provided for
by the “Ice-Kist?”
Write us to-day for our beauttfullv illustrated booklet, telling all about
the freezer; it is ABSOLUTELY f^REE—and receive onr free trial offer.
