A FTER .solemn deliberation, ex
tending through the few re
maining hours of Monday
night, we reached at sunrise Tuesday
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 that precept
holds good.
But we desire to get strongly inio
the record with the unflinching stab -
ment that the Twelfth Annual Spread
of the Southern Association of Base
ball Clubs* tendered by the Atlan a
Baseball Association at the Hole:
Ansley, was a Banquet, in the strict
est Hucullian 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 <1 -
light when it burst upon the startled
gaze of the expectant banqueters.
The table, s<?t for 40 guests, was m
the shape of an immense diamond,
inclosing a mimic Ponce DeLeon bill
park—green grass, “skinned dia
mond," grandstand, bleachers, play
ers’ benches, board ence, advertising
signs, and all—and the players in fie
field’
The scene evidently was of tin
memorable game between Atlanta a ad
Mobile, when the attendance record
went glimmering. There t<n one side
was the Cracker line-up and score,
and on the other was listed the plucky
ball club of Mike Finn, -that -came sc
near to licking us.
All that was within the tables
Around the hall were tall pi .ar.-, |
each surmounted by a flag and ’• I
name of a .Southern League hall club,
in the order of their finishing.
And across the end of tin en'- r
anartment was flung a great blue u-
nant—“Champions 1913”—a gift from
the Spalding «'em my.
it was some festive scene.
* * *
CHARTING out with that much >f
^ an edge on the late M Lucullui
the rest of ihe comparison adds
weiehr to our original contention.
Petronius very likely had some
gifts in the art of toast mastering, oin
even if we should accord him an even
break with Major Callaway we should
have left an array, or perhaps a Ur- |
terv of orators like Judg f • Kavanaug •
and' • Bob" Baugh, and M«J° r j
Cohen, and Mayor Jim Woodward,,
and Charley Frank, and Gus R>an. ,
and Charley Nunnally, and so forte. ,
and so on. and especially I.ou < astro. ,

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 “crool” truth must
out.
But wait till next year, Mr. Baugh
pleaded.
* * *
T HIS being agreed to, Judge Kava*
naugh made a fine and feeling
address concerning the Southern
League and his association 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 Prank out
of this 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 HEN Mr. Frank talked, and finally
the speech-making got to be
what might be called general, and
then Major Callaway, having put it
off as long as he 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 hammering him on
the 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
fore. Once, to our certain knowledge,
he entertained a crowd in the Mem
phis ball park while n rainstorm de
layed the game, and was presented
with diamond cuff buttons for his
laudable efforts.
But the night of December 15, and
verging on the midnight hour. Count
Luigi de Castro, of Central America
and the A’irginia League, made the
speech of his checkered and hectic
career.
• • •
R ehearsing bits of that inimit
able address would be in far
worse taste than touching up the Illy
with whitewash or spreading the gilt
on 24- carat suspender buttons'.
Count Castro spoke, and the car
nage was frightful. He continued to
speak until the more portly auditors
turned from a delicate cerise com
plexion to a royal purple. Then he
stopped, and as soon as the cheering
could be quelled the meeting broke
up.
K LvVLLY. it seemed a pity that the
late Mr. Lucullus was too late to
see how it was done.

from < barley Leonhardt, promoter,
stating that he would have to postpone
the match to a later date. Leonhardt
claims that he could r:oi reach a satis

This is certainly tough luck for Han
lon, who has worked ten days for the
scrap. It looks from this distance that
Eddie should have hern notified before
hand. so that he could have saved n.e
exnense of training Eddie snow, d
much class in Ids daily workouts and
would have surely given Jack a tough
scrap.

Chicago fans have made Charley
White an even money bet against Ad
Wolgast for their ten-round bout in
Milwaukee Friday night. Nate Lewis,
manager of White, writes that much
money is being wagered on the fight, as ,
the boys have many admirers in the
“Windy City.”

At last Frank Baker has found a boy
who has mustered up enough courage
to step into the same ring with him.
Frank received a wire from a promoter
in Savannah yesterday offering him a
bout with Frank Gaffney Christmas.
Baker has wired back for terms and

SCRAPS.
They advertise the windup as n fight
beyond compare,
1 titbit for the boring fans, a mor
sel rich and rare.
They never say a word about 'fhe
wild and willing gents
Who clout each other on the jaw and
pull down 50 rents.
They never say a word about pre
liminary guys
Who muss each other's features up
and black each other's eyes.
But when the prima donnas fight
they loaf ten rounds or so
And never muss each other's hair or
hit a healthy blow.
They stall around amt capture all
the coin l he re is in sight.
And leave it to the poor prelims to
show th| crowd a fight.
Few changes will be made in either
of the St. Louis teams this winter.
They are in good shape aside from
the fact that they need several pitch
ers and catchers and infielders and
outfielders.
SAVED.
W e tore Charlie Murphy—
In fact, always have.
He hasn't an equal
At spreading the salve.
Oh. how could the writer
Crist without Chast
This column would wither.
And o would the grass.
Jimmy Sheckard’s dope reveals the
fact that in addition to seven other
National League teams, Joe Tinker
had to play against the Reds and
Garry Herrmann.
Reports from Boston indicate that
Old Battling Redeye won a decision
over Joe Walcott.
We are astounded at Mr. Murphy's
complaint that the hotels in Ireland were
cold. We thought there was always hot
air in Charlie's Immediate vicinity.
If Governor Tener succeeds in pacify
ing the National League he will make
Elihu Root look like a bush league paci
fier.
The report that Jack Johnson's skull
was injured in a motor accident leads
Red Sox and Reds in
Ante-Season Gaines
one to believe that it was a terrific
bump.
As we understand it. Ad Wolgast is
the world’s champion claimant to the
world’s lightweight championship.
NAMES.
He is known as Wildcat Murphy
when the papers print his j
mime,
And you'd think hr teas a lad of
warlike habit.
But when a fellow fighter lands upon
his manly frame
He is scarcely as ferocious as a j
rabbit.
He is known as Wildcat Murphy in\
the world of fistic strife, j
Bui the Wildcat and the Murphy j
both are phoney.
For when he quits the ringside and
returns to private life
He bears a name that sounds like
macaroni.
Tommy Murphy is another ambitious
athlete who claims Ritchie's title. It Is j
said that his claim is taken seriously by !
his manager and himself.
TRADES.
Behold the baseball magnates as they j
make their winter trades;
They hang around a gilded bar long
after daylight fades.
They trade a lot of stories and they
trade a lot of jokes;
They trade a lot of repartee and
trade a lot of smokes:
They trade a lot of ancient tales
that give a man the blues.
And then they trade a bank note fori
another round of booze.
One of the greatest known tests of
control is to throw a baseball in the
vicinity of a National League meeting
without hitting a wine agent.
If .limy Sheckard succeeds in get-
ling his unconditional release from <‘in-j
cinnati it will make him feel not un
like a man getting out of jail.
BOSTON, Dec. 1.6.—The Boston Amer
icans and the Cincinnati National
League teams will play two ante-season
games in Cincinnati April 11 and 12, it
was announced here to-day. Only five
of the thirty or more players on the
Bed Sox reserve list have signed for
next season. These are Wood. Wagner,
Gardner, Carrlgan and Foster.
