™ ,winwing story concerning
.Iordan, the former Crack-
,,. end starker, was printed
a I’iitsburg newspaper recently.
Iordan was a great favorite here and
has a host of friends:
The hunting adventures of Otto
lnrdan , one-time second baseman of
\ lai ta bail club, and an old ball
•Hiring considerable
'I'nusement to residents of Pittsburg's

,. ure „f well-conditioned happiness
and health. But as a hunter he has
% s amusing qualities, and there is

tfie 0 f the best ball players in minor
league ‘'ompany. but has about out-
. : u h - i-fulness on the diamond.
Ust 'eas-.M he started off with the
t rnattanoo^. Hub of the Southern
League, but was later let out by Kid
riberfeid. manager. He later joined
: semi-i'io team where he finished
H the season Then Otto got to hunting
,nd one day proudly displayed his
| Georgia license, in which he is styled
athlete" on the line where the oc-
I r-upation of the person holding the
I license is noted.
Because of Iris license and his fine,
manh appearance, he was invited by
Rolt Phillips to go hunting with him
Hiie Saturday soon after the rabbit
reason opened. They set out bright
and earlv. and took to the woods.
li was just fine for Jordan. All the
morning he tramped blithely on. drag-
pinn yards and yards of tangled
vinerv after his big heels. Instead of
slipping from the cumbering

“ Scratch Out "Athlete.”
But what a sad difference. Jordan
sot a few rabbits, and in the after
noon he also got the legache. . lie sat
down time and again. Then Phillips
demanded: "Bet me see your Georgia
hum. ' La turned over
upon demand. Phillips took a pencil,
ran a line through the word "athlete”
and returned it without a word. There
was no comment from Jordan.
While he was about it Phillips
played it rather mean on his compan
ion. Leaving Jordan sitting there,
resting, lie made a short excursion
through the woods.. He shot Hx rab
bit. Returning be threw it down, at
Jordan’s feet: "There’s the consarned
thing. 1 don’t want it. Let it lay.”
He walked off. After a hundred yards
or so, he looked back. Along trudged
the patient Jordan, carrying the rab
bit. just as Phillips intended him to.
It's an old trick, and it worked; let
the tenderfoot carry the game.
.Iordan got home very, very tired.
And Sunday he had cramps in his
legs.
Rut to show that he was a very de-
1 hion for punishment. Jordan was out

'vith another party. This crowd spent
H few days near Plainsville. Jordan

A ^'TER solemn deliberation, ex
tending through the few re
maining hours of Monday
night, we reached at sunrise Tuesdi .
morning the Conclusion that the af
fair might properly be termed a Ban
quet.
We had been brought up to regard
the, Banquet era as having passed
with the time of Lucullus. Ordinari
ly, we still believe that precept hold.s
good.
But we desire to get strongly into
the record with the unflinching state
ment that the Twelfth Annual Spread
of the Southern Association of Base
ball (Hubs, tendered by the Atlanta
Baseball Association at the Hot
Ansley, was a Banquet, in the strict
est Lucullian and Epicurean sense of
the term.
# ♦ ♦
T HE Mural Decorations constituted
a large point on which Messrs.
Lucullus et al. would have shown up
feebly in comparison
The Hotel Ansley people went the
limit of ingenuity, and evolved a plan
that was greeted with whoops of de
light when it burst upon the startled
gaze of the expectant banqueters.
The table, set for <0 guests, was in
the shape of an immense diamond,
inclosing a mimic Ponce DeLeon ball
park—green rgass, 'skinned dia
mond,” grandstand, bleachers,
ers’ benches, board lence. advertising
signs, and all—and the players in tae
fleLd - , , • ,
The scene vidently was of tuat
memorable game between Atlanta and
Mobile, when the attendant record
went glimmering. There on on* s *'le
was the Cracker line-up and seoie,
and on the other was listed the pliu a;
ball club of Mike Finn, that came sc
near ot licking us.
All that was within the tables
Around the hall were tall pillar*,
each surmounted bv a flag and y
name of a Southern League ball dun.
iu the order of their finishing
And across the end of the ent;r
apartment was flung a great blue p n-
nant—“Champions 191J* -a sift from
the Spalding Comp in> ■
It was some festive < ne.
* * *
S TARTING out with that mudi ''
an edge on the late M Lucullut
the rest of the comparison adds
weight to our original contention.
Petronius very likely had sonv®,
gifts in the art of loastiiiastenng. oin
even If we should aceoFd 1 '
break with Major CaUawaj we dhoul *
have left an array, ot perhaps a g.
terv, of orators like Judge Ka\anaug
and "Bob” Baugh, and Major Ja.-u
Cohen, and Mayor Jim \\oodwar.t.
and Charley Frank, and Ou? P.'-y ■
and Charley Nunnally. and -«> tm

welcome. Mr Baugii was inspire.; to
an amazing flight of Gasconades and
blood-curdling promises of what
would happen to Atlanta next year,
both in the matter of percentage and
attendance, at the hands of Birming
ham.
"You didn’t play fair this time,” he
asserted. "We said we were going to
lick you, and von took it seriously.
This man Callaway went out and got
the Ad Men. and the Chamber of
Commerce, and goodness knows what
other civic bodies, and ”
Well, and licked Mr. Baugh, and
Baronville, if the "crook* truth must
out.
But wait till next year. Mr. Baugh
pleaded.

T IIS being agreed to. Judge Hava
na ugh made a fine and feeling
address concerning the Southern
• • and his asso iation with
Southern baseball, and took occasion
to deliver a pretty tribute to the stal
wart service and sterling value of
Charley Frank.
"We don’t want Charley Frank out
of ihis league.” Judge Kavanaugh as
serted. "This afternoon, on the mo
tion of Mr. Callaway, we created the
office of second vice president., and
we put Mr. Frank in it—and we're
going to keep him!"
• * •
T IEN Mr. Frank talked, and finally
the speech-making got In be
what might be vailed general, and
then Major Callaway, hating put it
off as long as lie could, called on Lou
Castro.
What followed might be described
as a cataclysm, an upheaval an out
burst. or a deluge.
Before the Count had been speak
ing three minutes Charley Frank's
neighbors were hamemring hint on
tlie back In an effort to help him
catch his breath, and half the re
maining non-combatants were shed-
| ding tears of pure delight in their
coffee.
The Count has made speeches be-
i fore. Onee, lo our certain knowledge,
i he entertained a crowd in tho Mem
phis pall pari, while a rainstorm de-
i laved the game, and was preesnted
i v iih diamond cuff buttons for his
' laudable efforts.
But tlie night of December 15. and
verging on the midnight hour, Count
l.uiai de Castro, of Central America
j and Hie Virginia League, made Hie
' speech of his checkered and hectic
I career

able address would be in far
