ATLANTA, GA. 9
SOUTHERN LEAGUE OPENS SEASON TUESDAY
FOR OPENER
Fourteen Men Accompany Man
ager Smith to Alabama City
to Start Season.
HEITT TO DO THE PITCHING
Players Return on Wednesday and
Hook Up With New Orleans
at Ponce DeLeon.
By Tom Martin.
F OR the first time since J. Pluv
got in all that effective work
recently, the old ballyard at
Ponce DeLeon was idle yesterday aft
ernoon. Billy S>mith, who is worked
up to a pretty nervous tension over
the proximity of the season, took his
proteges out to the arena yesterday
morning and put them through the
paces, after which fourteen of them
packed their belongings and prepared
to hie to the classic realms of Mobile.
They open in the Alabama city to-day
with “Lindy” Heitt performing the
role of angel on the mound.
* * *
DEFORE leaving yesterday after
noon the players brushed the
spots off their lniforms and “dolled
up” the best they possibly could, for
they are to participate in a street pa
rade in Mobile before to’day’s game,
and want to look their neatest. Ad
vance information is that Bradlev
Hogg, the anthithesis of the rabbit
foot for the Crackers, will work for
the Gulls and predictions of a victory
for the home squad are not very nu
merous.
VV hile the game at Mobile absorbs
considerable attention, it is mild com
pared to the interest aroused in the
big blow-off at Ponce DeLeon on
Wednesday. Extensive plans are being
made to beat out the attendance mark
that Birmingham hangs up, and a
record crowd for the park is looked
for. Because of agreement the team
is away only one day and returns here
to open against New Orleans.
* * *
The Hne-up that will start to-
1 day against the Gulls will he
Eibel. first; Potts, second; Bisland,
shortstop; Tuilos, third; Bowden,
left field; Moran. center, and
Manning right. Pitcher Heitt and
Catcher Rumler complete the bat
tle array. This same line-up, with
the exception of the battery, also
starts against New Orleans on
Wednesday. Williams and Neider-
korn will be our battery at the jump-
off.

in his attendance scheme and has ap
pointed committees in all the big
buildings and stores of the city, said

CARRIGAN CUTS HIS SQUAD.
CINCINNATI, April 12.—Manager
Carrigan, of the Boston Americans, has
released Catcher Pratt, Pitcher Cooper
and Outfielder Tutweiler to the Provi
dence club. Pitcher Vean Gregg, whose
arm is said to be troubling him, went
home to Boston from here.
Former Cracker Goes Good, but
Has Too Much Opposition for
Outfield Berth.
S T. LOUIS. April 12.—For a while
during the recent winter
months it appeared as though
Manager Huggins might not be left
enough Cardinals to form a team.
To-day he finds himself with more
ball players—and good ones, too —
than he really knows what to do with.
This is especially the case with the
outfield.
“Now that Huggins has Bescher.
what is he going to do with him?”
That’s the big question that confronts
the Midget. It is pretty firmly estab
lished in Huggins’ mind that Bescher
will play regularly in the Cards’ outer
pasture, although he hasn't deter
mined in what section of the field or
waht position in the batting order
he will occupy.
Long, despite his excellent early
hitting, will probably be asked to
give way to the veteran, because of
the wider experience of the former
Giant and his greater ability as a
fielder and base runner.
• • •
B ESCHER might be many points
shy of Long as a hitter, but he
would prove more valuable, because
he knows how to get around the
bases. It may not have been no
ticeable to the fans, but Tommy has
not quite mastered the trick of going
back for a fly ball, either.
Although Huggins will likely pick
this trio to do the fly-chasing for his
club, he must wrestle with the ques
tion of how to plav them how
to place them in the batting order.
Wilson is a certainty in right, which
means that Dolan and Bescher will
play the other fields. Each has had
experience In left and center fields.
* * *
T HE problem that has Huggins
guessing most though, is to frame
his batting order so he will get the
most good out of the speed and base
stealing ability of his men.
As H”'- intends to get into the fray
himself, it will mean that in Hug
gins, Bescher and Dolan, the Cardi
nals will Include a trio of players w*ho
outrank any set of men on a single
ball club in base stealing. Dolan
swiped 42 bases a year ago; Bescher
pilfered 36. and Hug negotiated 32
thefts. That’s a total of 110 for the
trio in a season. No other club can
point to three men .who have done
as well in a single season.
Miss, Aggies Have
Hard Games Booked
STARKEVTLLE. MISS., April 12.—
The Mississippi Agricultural and Me
chanical College baseball team is on a
tour, consisting of six games, on which
they will play the Georgia colleges.
To-day and Tuesday the Aggies will
play Mercer University In Macon.
Wednesday and Thursday they will
play the Yellow Jackets In Atlanta at
Grant Field.
Friday and Saturday the University
of Georgia will be met at Athens.
C HICAGO, April 12.—“If baseball wasn't such a good game,
it would have died several years ago, because of the business
methods of the magnates of organized baseball.”
That was the exact statement of Fielder Jones, manager of the
St. Louis Federals and the former leader of the White Sox, when
he was interviewed here regarding the general conditions of the
great American game at the present time.
“If men in other lines of business conducted their affairs as
the baseball magnates run things for
the last ten or twelve years, business
would soon have been on the bum,”
continued Jones. “There are a few
good business men in the game, and
as a general rule, they are not liked
by their assocites. R. L. Hedges,
president of the St. Louis Browns,
is one of that kind.
"Some of the methods used by the
club owpers of the National and
American leagues are almost unbe
lievable. Such methods would kill
any other sport that I know of, but
baseball in itself is such a good, strong
game that it lives. It is the game
of the American people, and in my es
timation, the greatest game of them
all, so it has gone along in spite of
the mismanagement and underhand
methods of its promoters.
* * *
NE instance I want to mention.
(J “I absolutely know that Wal
ter Johnson wanted to give Wash
ington the first chance to sign him.
He told Clark Griffith that he would
do nothing without giving Washing
ton first chance. He followed that
promise faithfully.
“Johnson wrote to Griffith and he
wired to Griffith, and waited and wait
ed, and got no answer.
“Finally, as you all know, he grew
tired of waiting and signed with the
Federals. That brought Griffith to
his feet in a jiffy. He didn’t even
write. He took the train West and
went out personally and met Johnson
and induced him to jump back.
“It* was a bad piece of work on
Griffith’s part and that is what causes
the public to lose faith in baseball.”
• • •
“TV/ HAT do you think will he the
VV outcome of the war between
the Federals and organized baseball?”
was asked of Jones.
"They will have to get together
sometime,” was the ready reply. “No
one will make any money to speak of
this year. 1 think the Federal League
will not lose any great amount. I
think the men of the National and
American leagues are on the run. I
know that some of them are in des
perate financial straits already, and I
bglieve a few of them will have to
get out before the year is over.
"The minors won’t get a bit of sup
port from organized baseball and I
would not be surprised if not more
than three or four minor leagues are
operating a week after the Fourth of
July.”

Springs Absorb
Radiator Shocks
The Maxwell Motor Company has
hit upon a device for absorption of
shocks and relief of strains to their
radiators which is very simple, yet ef
fective.
Where, the Maxwell radiator is at
tached to the frame of the car there is
a small Inverted cup. This cup cov
ers a coil spring and the radiator is
really spring supported. It makes no
difference how badly twisted or dis
torted the frame of the Maxwell may
be. owing to the roughness of the road,
the radiator is perfectly free to equal
ize itself and absorb all twistings and
strain resultant therefrom in the
springs which sitpport it.

Atlanta’s Best Fighters Would
Draw Big in Return Match.
Both Boys Look Good.
W ITH the return to form of Kid
Young, the newsboy cham
pion, local boxing fans are
clamoring for a return bout between
the “Fighting Newsie” and Battling
Budd, the sensational 128-pounder.
There Is much argument going
around sporting circles as to which of
these two boys is Atlanta’s best piece
of fighting machinery. Young,has his
old friends pulling for him again,
while Budd has a host of admirers in
this city.
Young and Budd have proved them
selves Atlanta’s best fighters. Young
j showed his worth when he went away
from Atlanta after his fiasco with
| Johnny K. O. Eggers and made good
in Cincinnati and Memphis. He was
given a rousing reception when he
stepped into the ring last Thursday
night.
A return bout between Young and
Budd over the ten-round route would
draw a big crowd. Their last scrap
was surely a corker, and fans are still
talking about it.
Budd resembles Joe Mandot in his
fighting style. He carries a terrific
kick In his right hand and is fast ed
ucating his southpaw weapon to do
damage at long range. With a little
more experience Budd should give
any of them a lot of trouble.
Budd would do wise to place him
self under capable management. He
has the makings of a great fighter
and unless we are very much mis
taken he will be heard of In the
future.

Willard Says Wife
Helped Him to Win
Fight Championship
LOS ANGELES. CAL., April 12—Jess
Willard undoubtedly has a clear claim
to the title of world’s champion, but he
must share the title with Another, for
he did not win the battle In Havana
last Monday alone. He was aided Just
as much as though there was a third
fighter In the ring helping him. and
when he sent that crashing blow to
Jack Johnson’s Jaw, knocking the big
black out, his victory was due as much
to the unseen presence as to his own
efforts.
Mrs Jess Willard made her husband
champion of the world. In a letter she
received from him to-day, he told her
that during every minute of that ter
rific battle he was thinking of her and
the plans they made for the future of
their children. He gave her credit for
having prepared him for the triumph.
“Jess' gives me too much credit for
his success, but I am glad to share the
championship with him if he wants It
that way,” Mrs. Willard said to-day.
