- -- TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Definition of a Wise Guy: The Sport Who Can Make the Other I'el low Believe Him °y Ex-Cracker Goes on Trip in Pitts burg Woods After Displaying His Georgia License. rr% HK following story concerning ( )tto Jordan, the former Crack- * rr second sacker, was printed a pittshurg newspaper recently. Jordan was a great favorite here and has a host of friends: Th e hunting adventures of Otto ■ Jan. one-time second baseman of •lie Atlanta ball club, and an old ball , (| . iyer are causing considerable lament to residents of Pittsburg's M.uth side Jordan is a fine built man . weighing 190 pounds, and the , ure of well-conditioned happiness and health. But as a hunter he has his amusing qualities, and there is no gainsaying it. Iordan at one time was considered ,ne of the best ball players in minor league company, but has about out- ved his usefulness on the diamond. i‘ jiist season he started off with the rhattanooga club of the Southern league, but was later let out by ‘Kid Elberfeld, manager. He later joined i ^emi-pro team where he finished h e reason. 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 cupation of the person holding the license is noted. B*-,-.iuse <-f his license and his fine, manlv appe arance, he was invited by Hob Phillips to go hunting with him nf* Saturday soon after the rabbit reason opened. They set out bright and early, and took to the woods. It was just fine for Jordan. All the mnrnin.u lie tramped blithely on. drag on? v.mls and yards of tangled vinerv after his big heels. Instead of slipping his feet from the cumbering vines. h< was just dragging them along in the flush of his strength. Scratch Out “Athlete.” But what a sad difference. Jordan got a few rabbits, and in the after noon he also got the legache. He sat down time and again. Then Phillips demanded: Let me see your Georgia hunting license.” It was turned over ;pon demand. Phillips took a pencil, ran a line through the word “athlete” tnd returned it without a word. There \n is n>> comment from Jordan. While he was about it Phillips played it rather mean on his compan- in. Leaving Jordan sitting there, resting he made a short excursion hrough the woods. Ho shot a rab- R< urning he threw it down at •Iordan's feet: “There’s the consarned thing I don’t want it. Let it lay.” He walked off. After a hundred yards so. he looked back. Along trudged ::te patient Jordan, carrying the rab- b::. 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 ('ramps in his legs. But to show that he was a very de mon for punishment, Jordan was out bright and early Monday morning with another party. This crowd spent lays near Plainsvilfe. Jordan did fairly well. He was getting accli mated. His Hunting Dream. On the second day out. the crowd 'ad the misfortune to have Jordan shoot a squirrel. It was a misfortune, but not until that night did they un derstand why. Once in the house where they made ’beir headquarters) Jordan was nomi nated to sleep in the same bed with AJ.iin Do wait, a veteran hunter of the South side. He went right to sleep. He was tired: big men often 1 1 get tired after a day in the woods. But he got the nightmare. A thou sand squirrels were biting him. The squirrel murder preyed upon his mind. Li his efforts to free himself, he drew m ghty right fist and dealt 1 It a lmgo buffet on the sde of the head, whereupon Dewalt cssayi-d to fly right through the side •1 the house. It took the whole party ’omfort the dreamer, and the next d ;, \ it was far from a happy party, '(•wait's face was swollen and his teeth loosened. Louisville Has March Bates With Atlanta Ud isviLLE.

By 0. B. Keeler. 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 if- 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 into the record with the unflinching state ment that the Twelfth Annual Spread of the Southern Association of Base ball Clubs, tendered by the Atlania Baseball Association at the Hotel 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 ;he limit of ingenuity, and evolved a plan that was greeted with whoops of de light when it burst upon the startled gaae of the expectant banqueters The table, set for 40 guests, was in the shape of an immense diamond, inclosing a mimic Ponce DeLeon bail park—green grass, “skinned dia mond." grandstand, bleachers, pi i - ers' benches, board rneo. advertising signs, and all—and the players in the field. The scene evidently was or tin. memorable game bet ween Atlanta old .Mobile when the attendance record went glimmering. There c n one side was the Tracker line-up and score, and on the other was listed the plucky hall club of Mike Finn, that came sr near to licking us. All that was within the tables Around the hal! were tall piliar.-, i each surmounted by a flag and th- j name of a Southern League ball club. In the order of their finishing. And across the end of the entir apartment was flung a great blue o n- i nant—"Champions 1913”—a gift from j the Spalding Compiny. It was some festive scene. ... S TARTING out with that much f an edge on the late M LucuIIur, j the rest of the comparison adds weie-ht to our original contention. Petronius verv likely had sonv gifts in the art of toastmastering, out even if we should accord him an even break with Major Callaway we shoul , have left an array, or perhaps a Ou tcry of orators like Judge Kavanaug i and' “Bob” Baugh, and Major Jhok Cohen, and Mayor Jim Woodward, and Charley Frank, and Gus Ryan, and Charley Xunnally. and so fortn, and so on. and especially Lou ( astro. * * ♦ M AYOR WOODWARD was inspired to a most flowery address of welcome. Mr Baugh a as inspire.i to an amazing flight of Gasi-onu.ics and blood-curdling promises of what would happen to Atlanta next year, both in the matter of percentage an I attendance, at the hands of Birming ham. “You didn't play fair this time,” he asserted. "We paid we were going to lick you, and von took it seriously. This man (’aliaway went out and go* the Ad Men. and the Chamber of Commerce, and goodness knows what other civic bodies, and 1 ” Well, and licked Mr. Baugh, and Baronville, if the “orool” truth must out. But wait till next year, Mr. Baugh pleaded. * * * r PHlS being agreed to. Judge Kava- * naugh made 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. “\Ve‘don’t want Charley Frank out of ibis league.” Judge Kavagaugh 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 he railed 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, lie entertained a crowd in t*he Mem phis ball park while n rainstorm de layed the game, and was presented with diamond cuff buttons for hh laudable efforts. But the night of December 15. and verging on the midnight hour. Count Luigi de Castro, of Central America and the Virginia League, made the speech of his checkered and hectic career. * * * n EHEARRING bits of that inimit- able address would be in far worse taste than touching up the lily with whitewash or spreading the giii 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 he quelled the meeting broke up. * * * R EALLY, it seemed a pity that the late Mr. Lucullus was too late to see how it was done. Eddie llanlon, the local welterweight, will not meet Jack Robinson a* ,la< k- sonvllle, Fla., twiglr. Filly i/.n-z, manager of Hanlon, received a wire from Charley Leonhard*, promoter, stating that he would have to postpone the match to a later date. Leonhardt .Maims that he ?oulJ r.ot n-aeh a ,-atis- factory agreement with Robinson. * * * Tills is certainly lough luck for Han lon, who has workoil ten ilay.s for the scrap. It looks from this t.'lstance that Fdt.ie should have lieen notified before hand, so that he could have saved the expense of iraini-ig Kddi.- snow, d much class In his daily workouts and would have surely given Jack a tough scrap. * * * Chicago fans have made Charley White an even money bet against Ad VY’olgast 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 lh<* boys have many admirers in the “Windy City.” * * * Johnny Dundee, the Italian with the Scotch name, who was credited with a shade over Charlie White Thanksgiving night, has been matched to box Fred die Welsh in a ten-round go at New Orleans on Christmas bay. Ruth ring- men are contenders for the lightweight crown and should put up a rattling bat tle. * * * 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 hack for terms and expects to close the match in a couple of days. Mickey Sheridan and Harry Donahue will don the padded mitts for a sched uler! ten-round set-to at Kansas City Friday night. They have agreed to Weigh 132 pounds at 3 o’clock. * ¥ m Frank Baker finished first in the tango dancing contest among several of our local boxers. Mike Saul and his green kelly took second honors after giving Frank a merry race.
