THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AN 17 NEWS,
CROWD TO Cl
RECORD J TILT
By Perry H. Whiting.
I F the weather at game time this
afternoon is jpufllclently salubrious
(Noah Webster please write) wc
are likely to (give Birmingham some
thing more to think about in tho
matter of attendance. It wouldn’t
be surprising if the mid-week record
got 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.
13 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 clubs being
run on a business basis and if they
aren’t what’s going to become of
them ?”
Carleton Molesworth sounded n 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 come
quicker than we expeot. I have
no kick to offer in Birmingham
because the people there certainly
support a ball club superbly.
Wnether you are winning or los
ing, they attend the game. It's
a big place and we have a great
population to draw from.
• * »
F course here in Atlanta we
haven’t sprung any worry-wrin
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 the other cities in the league,
including at least one—Memphis—
which has size enough to turn out
any old crow d
• • •
VEAR In and year out the average
* Southern league clubs spend too
much for their teams. Year in anil
year out the Southern League loses
money—that is. the total of profits of
all 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 we should
not lose sleep over it.
* • •
\17ITH new pitchers coming Crack-
er prospects are looking up
again. Not in years, if ever, has n
Southern club bought as many and
us 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
been doing.
It would be extremely helpful If
this guy Counzclman turned out to
be a bear. The other man Pittsburg
sent down here, under optional agree
ment—Bisland—turned out to he a
corker Maybe Counzelman will do
equally well.
While the Crackers wore disap
pointed not to get the unrestricted
ownership of CounzelmanV services it
is an encouraging elgn that Barney
Dreyfuss would not sell him outright
It was apparent that he expected the
man to make a real pitcher some day.
Otherwise he would have preferred
money to his services.
* • *
M AYBE the blight of punk pitchers
inflicted on Atlanta by the fates
was a Messing 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 such a position that with a little
hurling help they can set sail for
the Gulls, with every chance in the
world of overtaking them.
I’m looking for « close finish thb
year.
The Crackers are going to get their
stride after a hit and start winning
Their slump has to end after a bit.
They are in a good position to make
the race. Give them the pitchers and
watch them fly!
HAL CHASE MAY NOT
REPORT TO WHITE SOX
NEW YORK, June 4. -Hal Chase,
traded by the Yankees to the White
Box, refused, to report to his new club
yesterday. Whan seen in the grand
stand at the Yankees-Naps game and

T HIS is the time of the year when
the college player gets out a
copy of the rule* of the South
ern Intercollegiate Athletic Associa
tion, and reviews them all carefully.
Either he does this with the idea of
refreshing his mind regarding the
things he must not do if he wishes to
he eligible 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 fast rules
that all colleges now lay down re
garding summer baseball by their stu
dents; but thus far there; 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 shortens the restraining
rope still more.
* * *
TT is a well understood rule all over
* the country that one who takes
money for participation in any ath
letic event whatsoever above his nec-
ssary expenses thereby profession
alizes himself, for which reason he is
debarred from < , ' , rthor athletic asso
ciation with • sfeurj. 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
hns never earned money by work, no
matter what kind of work. This
strikes us as the height of absurdity,
and it is safe to say that such a defi
nition of the amateur will never take
fodthold in America.
But while young Americans in
this day and time understand fuil
well that it is against the rules of
amateur sport to accept money for
work of this kind, there are many
each year who do accept it, and who
still expect 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
cigar, or a pocket knife to some offi
cer of the summer team with which
they are playing for the trifling sum
of $50 or $100. as the cese may re
quire. Or they will sit in a little
poker game for ten minutes and have
such a run of luck (?) as will not
them, say $50.15 or $100.30. Or the
stipulated remuneration is 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
hns given it to him.
• * •
T HEN there Is another rule that
gives the hoys even more trou
ble. This provides that after a boy
has once entered college he shall
not thereafter during tho 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 least one
year before the playing of said sum
mer ball (not one year before play
ing college ball with his college team
the spring following his playing with
thi summer team).
Well, some of the boys happen to
live in towns 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 boy 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 such
permits, and that leaves such boys
high and dry.
But in any case most every boy
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 wno w'on’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 with a
team not from their home county
and change their true names for that
game. But this has also now been
covered by express 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 agree
to "keep mum" .about it; and some
times these packs are kept, while
again they are 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 in his homo coun-
, y or not. This is a point not always
understood by the prep players, and
for their benefit I state it.
* * *
ANOTHER 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 as 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 npake good, or that he re
ceived no money whatever for such
,, Uyl n g. Any PROFESSIONAL
LEAGUE playing knoeks him out for
ffll time and without further ado.
Bui it is nil fight to play against
a professional team or professional
playeys on the same team with the
amateur, so lpng a^ it 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 an outline
of the t allege rules written for
the* information, and benefit of those
who do not happen to he familiar
with them.
In a future article T will have mor* 1
to say regarding the ethical side of
those rules, and w’hat changes, If
any, might with profit be made.

NED. SAYS AID
C HATTANOOGA, June 4.—“Give
me 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, lives 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.

Although Flynn has been before the

opponent and gives the fans Some real

When Battllhg Nelscfn coined the term
"cheese champion'' and hung it on Wil

one. that is enduring. In fact, quite a
lot of our present champions are failing
ail over themselves in U**aiv effort to,
grab a similar title.

prise locally as both Andrews and
Elberfeld bad had their eyes on the
Turtle hurler since first he was seen
in action. The Kid believes that he
is a corking good man. Coveleskie and
Summers can’t be surpassed, and if
the 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 is a southpaw's
league.

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
the day Louis Jacoby, of Dallas, Tex
as, turned in a card of 76. Later
this was tied by Nelson Whitney, a
former champion, whose qualifying
round was the first he had c$er 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 his round with u
75, which was 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 the last
four holes coming home, taking three
punts to each of the greens and fin
ished with 77.
Audubon Team Wins.
In the 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
tho championship division. Of this
number W. R. Tichenor led with 80
| and W. H. Rowan was second with 81.
i The other scores made by Atlantans
were: G. W. Adair, 83; Dowdell
Brown, 84; R. G. Blanton, 84; C. E.
Cowan, 85: H. Block, 86.
The Atlanta players who qualified
in the second division were W. Grif
fith, 89; C. V. Rainwater, 89; D. E.
Root, 88; R. P. Jones, 91; W. P. Ha
zelwood, 91. Captain E. T. Winston.
: T. B. Paine, Ormond Smith, C. E.
1 Rose and Dr. Joe Eby failed to qual-
i ify.
I The going in the tournament is
j 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 is composed of 32 players.

NEW YORK, June 4 —Jim Savage,
the New Jersey heavyweight, who is to
fight Jim Flynn at Atlanta on June 13,
stopped Whitey Allen, of this city, in
the second round of a bout here last
night.
Savage put up a great fight and hand
ed his opponent a severe lacing. His
cleverness completely dazzled Allen, who
was unable to lay a glove on him.
Savage also showed that he possesses
a wallop. He used a right-hand upper
cut with telling effect and displayed
good use of his left hand when it came
A^fter tho bout Savage stated that he
expected to defeat Flynn when the two
came togeher. He is already in good
shape.

Pitcher=President Hands
Himself Own Release
G RAND RAPIDS. MICH., June
4.—To hand your own release
to yourself is 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 club, w*ith all
the customary details. President
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 YourOwn Ice Cream
Of course, you know that hotre-niade ice cr«ams, sherbets or ices are
superior from every viewpoint. They are always sweet, pure and
wholesome; there is a flavor and genuine goodneas about them that is
not found in the general run of factory products. Besides that, when
you make your own preparations you know that the ingredients are
always pure, and that the can is clean and sanitary. The main reason
why icecream is made m but comparatively few homes, is the work and
bother connected with the old-
fashioned crank freezer. That
is one reason why the arrivalof
Therice-Ksf CranMess Freezer
will be hailed with delight by
every one who is fond of ice
creams, etc., because it ekmi- j
nates the tedious turning of the
crank entirety, and produces
creams, sherbets and ices that
will make yotn mouth water.
That is one reason, but there
are many others.
DON’T YOU KNOW that the enjoyment of a dish largely depends
upon the manner in which it is served? Could you imagine a daintier
and more appetizing manner of serving ice cream* than provided for
by the “Ice-Kist?”
