THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. BRINGING UP FATHER By GEORGE M’MANUS AND GILBERT IN Atlanta Entry in 300-Mile Grind Can Make 80 Miles an Hour, and That’s Traveling. By \V. S. Farnsworth. \ TLANTA Is going to come mighty close to winning the Savannah motorcycle race a Christmas day. \t least, that is my wax of t <nk i t after having taken a spin on the mu'guard of th*- Gate City’s entry in the iong 300-mil* grind on Turkey l)a>. The name of our entrant is Betsy, ,lr. Rider's name la Hal Gilbert. To gether they make the fleetest your hlng you ever saw. Every motorcycle rider in this neon of the woods knows Gilbert. Betsy, •lr., needs an introduction. Let me have the honor of making you • - quainted. P1HST. Betsy, Jr., is a ‘ Crane-At- * lanta" motorcycle. L. S. Crane 1 the ow ner, and if the motor turns »>ut to be the winner of the Huvn.n- uah grind, then stiyts the manuf .c • rure of more Betsy Jrs. Mr I'rano is the proud owner of he famous automobile Old Bet y. Betsy, Jr.. N Old Betsy’s daughter. Second. Betsy, Jr., is the freakiest- looking piece of machinery yours truly ever saw. The engine looks ’ike any regular motorcycle engine. So do the wheals, spoke*, handled .; md seat, but the gasoline tank .^bout twice the size of a regular tans. If hold* over four gallons of gusolinc nd nine pints of oil. Tills means ihat Gilbert will have to stop unlV once for gasoline and oil during tVu long 'rip. And Betsy, Jr., is going to be klmed with automobile tires, thus being puncture proof as near tv* possible.

Gilbert told in* to climb onto C.e mudguard < said mudguard will be stripped when the big race is held) and grab him around the waist. An - r being towed for 100 yard* by the mto Gilbert finally got his powerful motor turning, and then dropped the rope. Off we went, whizzing 4> « 75-m ' un-hour gait right off the bat.

A I * W p* r the esteemed Pentin unless the clipping boy played us false that Billy Smith manager of the Crackers, has been the topic for n debate by the Knox ville members of the Stove Leugue. That august body (meeting in De cember), on hearing,of Billy’s depar ture for Washington and other points East In quest of bull players, prompt ly held a meeting, which considered Billy’s needs and made certain rec ommendations. CMIIST. the Stove Dengue called * Bill’s attention to the Knoxville outfield of 1913 -Messrs. Burke, Clunk and ICnox were regular and estab lished members in good standing of the Amalgamated Order of Demon Slug ger* (Inc.) and recalled to (lie Cracker manager’s memory the per formance of the said demons in the post-season series played with the Cracker* last September. It seems Bill wan much impressed by the work of the outer gardeners In that engagement. CO the tu-' Ti' v> uf the Stov* League proceeded to inquire of IP v Smith (by publication) why he didu take up the matter of ball player* with Knoxville In lead of fricRti £ Washington and Barney Drey fuss. "With Moriey Jennings. Rimer Lawrence and a lew more Knoxville pla-yers on ilia pay roll, Mr. rtnutu would have 0 real, live aggregation • f ball tofinern during the vocational pe riod of 1914.” th** meeting suggested. And then it was added, by way of amendment, that while the Knoxvlfio bugs would hate to see ei f i:er Mr. Clunk or Mr, Burke or Mr. Knox ie- part, or all o' them, still they (the bugs) wouldn’t stand in the way of the advancement of popular, hard working ball players. We will take occasion to slip this suggestion to Bill the first chance w got.
