League Divided Over
s 4
“Seven-Man Limit” Law
(By International News Service.)
NEW ORLEANS, March 22.- -South
orn League baseball magnates, who
will hold their first meeting of several
years In New Orleans Monday, have
& number of important things to get
off thelr chests before the managers
®et down to the more important busi
ness of training their ball players.
The two big things that are worry
ing the new president, John D. Mar
tn, and the club presidents are the
uncertainty of Sunday baseball in
Tennesses and the opposition, led by |
A, J. Heineman, to the seven Class
B player rule,
The rule, which prohibits any olub
from carrying more than seven men
with Class A experience as late as
1917 was adopted at the fall meeting
of the league at Birmingham. Heine
mann was the only man to vote
against it, but now the (‘h.'umoogn‘
and Birmingham clube favor Increas
ing the number of Class A players.
If these three clubs make a deter
mined fight, they may succeed In in
creasing the number from seven to
ten or eleven. ‘
Three Clubs Favor,
The three clubs that are avowedly
‘au“"' of the rule are Atlanta, Mo
and Little Rock, Charles Colson,
of Mobile, was in New Orleans Sat
:G‘y oonsulting with Charles Frank,
of the Atianta club, and President Al.
len, of Little Rock, was expected. It
zldd they intend to stand pat, while
emphis and Nashville are saild to be
“on the fence.” .
In reply to the question, “Do you
favor changing the imit so as to in
g'lli more than seven?' President
sald: “The vote for the rule
Vu“ununlmmn I am not tnconsist
.hchlmtnn says Colson errs In say
‘”'!!u vote was unanimous,
® feel conditions at the present
time warrant a change in the agree
ment adopted at the December meet-
Ang In rwnrd to seven Cllass A men,”
w + D l!rglth. president of the
ingham club, to the same ques
tion.
Allen Stands Pat.
*“President Allen expressed himself
Before leaving for New Orleans as
being oprond to any changes in
league rules as they now stand,” tel 1
egraphed Robert G. Allen, Jr, secre
tary of the Little Rock club. |
Manager Dobbs, of New Orleans,
‘#ald that SBam Strang Nickln, zlru-‘
ident and manager of the C(hatta
nooga club, told him at Chattanooga
that he was in favor of changing the
JHmit to include more Class A men.
Helnemann already has taken his
fight to the national board of arbi
tration of minor leagues, and to the
‘mationa! commission, but says he in
rda to continue the fight in the
Monday meeting.

Constitution and Baseball

HE long-looked-for meeting of

rectors has at last been called;
th emomentous assembly will be held
next Monday night at Fulton High
School. At this meeting the league
will christen itself, as well as for
mally adopt a constitution already
drafted.
The league has been operating for
the past half century without any
laws to back the president. The mck‘
of such laws has eaused a great deal
of confusion. The adoption of the
constitution will alleviate this and
make matters run smoother. Kvery
time the president makes a ruling he
will have this constitution to back
him up and will not have to be guid
ed by the impulse of the moment.
The baseball schedule for 1919 will
be drawn up and accepted at the
meeting. There are only five teams
In the baseball race, and the season
will be shorter. It will open on April

president, and several others con

strictly ahered to. |
Although no definite plans have
been drawn up for track work, it is
understopd that the date and events
for this will be also decided. ‘

Famous “Cap” Says Physical Fit
t “ ”»
ness Gained on “Town Lots”
. . |
~ Turned Tide Toward Berhn.i
1 EW YORK, March 22.—War may
N be everything the late W, T“
Sherman sald it gas, on one
side, but, like the celebrated cloud, it
has a silver lining. And “Cep” Hus
ton, half owner of the New York
Yankees, just back from seventeen
months of war service overseas, takes
the liberty of looking at the war cloud |
from the silver gide, which (says
“Cap”) is a tremendous boost for all
kinds of sports,
“Cap” has a longer name than that.
‘Cap’s” complete monicker is Lieu
tenant Colonel Tillinghast L’Homme
dleu Huston—no less. * Ana “Cap's”
war service entitles him to speak with
authority,
Just listen to what “Cap” is, and
what he has done, and what he says
about athletics, and other things:
The “Cap,” who was the first man
Interested in professional baseball to
volunteer after the Wnited States
went “over there,” at the head of
Company A, Sixteenth Railway Engi
neers, which he organized and trained
in Cincinnati apd Detroit, left these
shores on June 13, 1917, and was in
continuous service abroad until the
armistice was signed. In May, 1918,
while working with the British back
of Arras, he was made a major, and
in the middle of the following Sep
tember was advanced to a lleutenant
coloneley, ’
“There is no question.” he contin
ued, “that the physical and mental
condition of the American troops was
the deciding factor in the war, and
that our boys were able to throw into
1 the balance the fighting power which
broke the deadlock,sent the Huns reel
ing back and ultimately brought about
their complete defeat. And the reason
that the Americans, many of them but
hastily trained troops, were able to
‘make such a splendid showing was
because of their athletic bringing up
‘ their physical fitness, their ability
to think quickly and to aet individu
ally in emergencies, And these qual
itles they acquired on the ball lots
the gridiron and other fields upon
which brain, muscle and brawn were
put to the test.
“In a way, before we went ‘over
there,' we realized what American
sports, particularly baseball, had done
for the youth of the United States.
Today we appreciate fully that it sup
plied most of our fighters with the
physical asset which enabled them to
do those things which caused the Ger
man military machine to gasp in
amazment from the outset. The
American army heads and the direc
tors of the Y, M. C. A, and other
agencies which operated for the wel
fare of the men in the camps here and.
abroad thoroughly appreciated the
value of outdoor games, boxing and
general athletie stunts, and from the
moment the men began their military
training, athletics was made a part of
the regular routine. And this program
was continued on the other side.
ment of Engineers, a part of the
FIRST Divisiom, was one of the
FIRST 20,000 to reach France, was
present at the FIRST German raid
on American troops, was one of the
officers in command of a umit com
posing a part of the troops which took
over the FIRST American sector, was
a part of the FIRST independent
American rald, was a member of the
selected outfit who won the FIRST
American battle at Cantigny, claimed
Dby his regiment to be the FIRST
‘Amarl«-am officer “to go over the
top” In that battle, and, according to
information reavhlng his home people
here, will be one of the last Ameri
cans to reach home,
Captain MeClure is now in com
mand of Company F, First Kngineer
Regiment. This is the first com
pany which he commanded. Can you
beat it?
His friends are telling a splendid
Joke on the popular officer. In com
pany with Lieutenant Cox, of his
company, the former Auburn man
was returning one night from a
scouting expedition into “No Man's
Land" As ~they approached the
American lines a sentry comm‘.nded
them to halt, The Anniston man did
not hear the command, and the sentry
fired at him.
“Hey, there!" wyelled the officer.
“Did you shoot at me?”
“Yes, sir” replied the gentry,
“Well, you are a damn poor shot,”
retorted the captain, as he advanced
into the American lines.

Ninth-Inning Rally by Oglethorpe
Falls Short—Score 3 to 2.
Chestnut Hits Hard,
By TOM STOKES.
THENS, GA., March 22-—The
A Red and Black took the sec
ond game of the two-game se
ries with the Oglethorpe Petrels heré
today by the score of 3 to 5 T
Bame was snappy and interesting
and enlivened In the ninth inning by
a threatening rally on the part of the
Pétrels, whose playing showed an
enormous improvement over yester
day’s.
Georgia made her first tally in the‘
opening inning, when Cran{ord, who.
was given his base on a balk, scored
on Satterfield’s two-bagger. lln the
fifth Georgia put across another run,
and another in the seventh.
Reed, Oglethorpe’s little third base
man, opened the ninth with a hit to
left. Knox was hit by a pitched bail,
and he and Reed e¢rossed the plate a
few minutes later on an error. The
Georgia rooters began to feel uneasy
when Cooper, one of Oglethorpe’s
heavy hitters, stepped to the plate.
However, he flied to second base, and
the game was over.
Satterfield had a good day, knock
ing out two doubles and making a
beautiful one-handed catch of what
med an impossible chance. an
seemed i ible ch M
‘gum, Georgia’s new receiver, got two
hits, as did Chestnut, Oglethorpe's
catcher. The fielding of both teams
‘'was only fair. The pitching was about
even, each giving up five hits. The
scoring was mostly on errors,
~ Oglethorpe’s line-up was changed
and considerably improved by the
shifts which Coach Anderson had
made. Mize, who recently returned to
Georgia, was at short today, and looks
good. # ‘

The method of training teams are
many and varied, managers have
their own ideas of what must be done
to start the season. The old method
of running to and from the ball park
is a thing of the past. Traveling
over the hard road is not conducive
to speed; it makes muscles hard and
is very apt to produce a charley horse,
the dread of all ball players.
Legs Should Be Free.
A player's legs should be as loose
and free as a player's arm, as it is
speed that is needed, and you can't
get speed out of hard, knotty mus.
cles. The .. ideal training quarters
should have a clubhouse at the ball
park equipped with shower baths and
rubbing tables, so that when the play
ers get through their day's work they
can be cared for by an expert, In
these days of high-salaried ball play
ers whose rvices are required in

condition, especially so during the
latter part of the season, when the
‘ strain of every day on the field begins
to tell, :

Petrels Protest Game;
. o\
To S.l.A.A—Claim Tie
LAIMING a misinterpretation
of rules by Umpire Stage
man in the first inning of
the Georgia game, Captain -N. M.
DeJarnett, of Oglethorpe, has filed
a protest with the Southern Inter
collegiate Athletic Association, to
strike out the first run of the
game, If granted this will leave
the second game a tie.
Cranford, first man up for the
Red and B‘-ck, wn‘bc'von his base
when a balk was cailea on Hol
brook, Petrel pitcher. He later
scored, and this run was enough
to win the game for Oglothorgo.
Captain DeJarnett and Coach
Anderson cited Umpire Stageman
to the rule book, which does not
allow a batter to become a base
runner on a balk, but the arbitra
tor stuck to his decision] Coach
Anderson, formerly a Georgia
coach, told The American Satur
day night, he was making the pro
test simply on a misinterpretation
of rules and that otherwise Mr.
Stageman’s work was excellent.
Val Picinich
Is Going Fine
s Going I
With Senators
Ty Cobb, Indifferent to Tigers,
Practices With Washingtpn
Nationals.
ARREN PARK, AUGUSTA,
W GA.,, March 22.—The squad
of Washington Nationals
which Nick Altrock and Mike Martin
have in hand down here in Dixie is
making remarkably effective work of
their training season, and are mak
ing such rapid headway that Clark
Griffith and the rest of the team will
be forced to put on an extra burst of
speed in order to even be able to hold
the advance squad a candle light as
to condition.
Val Picinich, the young catcher
who was obtained from Atlanta, of
the Southern League, and Adrian
Lyneh, a recruit pitcher, the last of
the youngsters to stray into the
camp and nestle under the mother
ing wings of Nick and Mike, are
showing up well, and undoubtedly
will be among the gang when Griff
starts the march back North.
Never was weather for a training
season so delightful as that which|
has accompanied the practice periodsl
of the Nationals this year at Warren
Park. It is exceptionable weather
for the time of year even for Au
gusta, and if it only holds out until
the training season closes, the Na
tionals will hit the road iff great con
dition,
Ike Davis, the Western League star,
whom Clark Griffith picked up to fill
Lavan's berth, is a veritable find, be
ing a demon at the bat, as well as a
remarkable fielder of his position. Un
less he blows up with stage fright be
fore a big league crowd, his success
with the Nationals is assured.
~ Among those who have been daily
attending the Nationals’ practice is
Ty Cobb. Cobb has not as yet com
pieted arrangements for playing with
Detroit, and, in fact, has made no
preparations at all for taking the
training trip with the Tigers at Ma
con, Ga. Instead he is getting in eon
dition with the Nationals, on the same
diamond upon which he first broke
into professional basebal. iy
have been sent back to the minors
labeled “Not quite ready.” Meetings
are called, signals are arranged and
“skull practice” goes on. It is some
practice, for they make just as big
bonehead plays in the majors as they
do in the minors,
The latter part of the third week
sees them off on exhibition games to
ward the city in which they open the
season. The pitchers are putting
more stuff on the ball, the Inflelders
are flipping the ball around from one
to another with more speed and the
outfielders are throwing to the plate
for the first time.
The fourth week finds them on the
road playing games in a different city
every day.
Then comes the opening day. The
bell rings, the umpire announces the
battery and yells, “Play ball,” and
friendship ceases. ' The boys that
started at tossing the ball from one
to anotehr are now shooting it with
terrific speed.
A good start is half the battle, and
they all are out for a good one. |

Monday, the Detroit Tigers will have
two practice periods a day. During
the past week only one a day wa.aJ

necessary for his pitchers and caren

however, will be hére next week, and
the real work sessions will begin.

pitchers and catchers are coming
along and doesn't want to take
chances on getting them in shape too
quickly., The pitchers put In most of
their time running and hitting. Tt
is - Hughie’'s purpose to strengthen
their legs and increase thelr wind
with just enough throwing at each
practice for their arms gradually to
work into shape.

SEVENTY-TWO NORTH BRUAD
Jackets Run Up 11 to 4 Score on
Tenth Battalion—Cracker Re
cruit Shines With Stick.
HE Tenth Battalion did not fine
I ish its diamond career in a
blaze of glory, like ypu some
times read about teams or individ
uals doing. One of its players, Ser
geant Frank DeHaney, went out im
the well-known blaze, but there
weren't any blazes for the remainder
of the outfit.
Tech won, 1} to 4.
It was somewhat of a slug-fest, as
the teams together accumulated 20
safe and sound swats, three-fifths of
which went to the Yellow Jackets.
As mentioned above, the Tenth Bate
talion was playing its final game, or,
at least, those particular members
were finishing up in soldier uniforms.
Sergeant DeHaney, honorably dis
charged, and a Cracker rookie, gath
ered unto himself more laurels when
he busted the pill a la Cobb, and tore
into a couple of offerings with his
ribs foremost. A ringing triple with
one man on base In the first inning, a
single, a long clout on which he was
robbed of a probable home run, and a
couple of hit by pitches were his
contributions to .the Tenth cause.
Ralph Flowers, the star halfback and
outfielder, performed brilliantly in the
left garden, shagging everything that
came his way and half that went the
other,
The Tenth was beaten right off the
reel, when, after DeHaney had un
corked his three-bagger and they had
scored twice, and driven Murphy to
the showers, Roberts was unable to
hold the Yellow Jacket sluggers and
they pasted across six runs in the first
inning. That took the heart out of
the soldiers, and placed the game on
ice. Roberts was replaced by Hol
lingsworth, who also had a hard job
getting the men of Joe Bean out In
the field again., Asbury took up
where Murphy left off, and fared
pretty well

Smithies Lose to Feds,
But Have Great Time
By CHARLES SHONESY.
Mayor Key, Colonel Sutton and
Lieutenant James were all at the
game yesterday at Federal prison
when Tech High succumbed to a 10-0
score. The Feds had it all over the
preps in hurlers, but the Tech High
boys had the edge in the infield. All
the inmates were present at the
game, the majority rooting for the
Smithies. "One colored man, whose
shade was a dark bay, residing in the
bleachers, furnished the comedy of
the occasion by his persistent voeal
discords.
The game started at a lively eclip
and went at such for an Inning when
the Feds crossed the platter twice.
‘Then séering followed at regular in
tervals. Lotspeich started for the
Smithies and lasted 4 and 2-8 in-.
nings, when he was replaced by Lake,
The latter held the Feds pretty well.
~ Frank Wilson, of Tech High, drove
the ball into deep center for a double
in the first inning. The colored fans
went into histerics over it and the
dark bay yelled, “Knock the wall
Adown and we'll all go home.” \
That was the longest hit made by
the Smithies. Reynolds, of the Feds,
got a triple. Every man on the Feds
got a safety, 17 hits being the total
The batteries were sensational,
Schmoyer started on the mound flt}
Reynblds receiving, after about hal
the game had been played, the bat
teries reversed and the splendid work
continued.
The Smithy Infleld was the best,
the Feds claimed, they had seen, The
flelding was accurate and Albert Jor.-
dan made the feature play of the
m::lne when he grabbed one near the
wall.
