(Special to The Georgian.)
LTW ORLEANS, March 22.-—At-
N lanta will have Sunday base
ball games this year (at least
five), is the word sent out to Cracker
fans by Manager Charles Frank on
his arrival here to participate in the
meeting of the Southern League mag
nates, which opens Monday
Acting favorably on a petition from
army officers to the Atlanta base
ball club to provide recreation for
men in the service who were unable
10 witniess week-day games, Manager
Frank has arranged these five games
'g be staged at army camps near At
nta.
The Sunday dates alloted Atlanta
are May 18, Nashville at Atlanta;
July 12, Birmingham at Atlanta; Au
gust 8, Little Rock at Atlanta; Au
gult 24, Birmingham at Atlanta; May
5, Memphis at Atlanta.
Patriotic Policy.
The securing of Sunday dates for
Atlanta is in line with the patriotic
policy that has been adopted by the
Southern League. The “seven man
limit” law is intended to give men
who were below Class A rating be
fore the war and who have showed
development in army ocamps a chance
to get back into the game and inci
dentally a meane of livelihood. It does
not mean that semi-pros will be
mht. amording to Manager Frank,
‘essionals in service will be given
first call over those who did not
o:rn their country in the war is the
plan.
The Atlanta club already has turn
ed down appMeations from former
Southern League players, with the
idea of getting youngsters who have
shown great aptitude for the game in
the various ca.m&r teams.

The explanation that Atlanta will
play her Sunday games at army
camps and not transfer them to Chat

President Heinemann's loud-voiced
wail that the Pels were being treated
unfairly in matter of Sunday dates,
and punctures his “hidden Sunday

complaint about Atlanta's dates as
long as they are played solely for the
benefit of men who are not yet out of

Runs Crane All Day,
Then Bowls Evening
(By International News Service.)
WATERTOWN, MABS., March 22—
Bowling a “ten-string” match for a tour
nament trophy is somewhat of a stren-
Uous evening for any woman
But it is nothing but a mild recreation
for Mrs. Florence Leard. She is one of
the first women war workers at the Wa
tertown Arsenal, handles a big ten-ton
crane all day and then bowls a dozen
strings or so evenings just to keep in
physical trim,
Mrs. Leard entered the “crane” school
instituted at the Watertown Arsenal last
October. 1t takes six weeks to finish the
course, but Mrs. Leard, with characteristio
energy, completed hor training in four
woeks' time and was assigned to the task
‘nr handling one of the mighty cranes in
the big gun carriage shop.
Picking up a big gun carriage weigh
ing several tons and loading it on a car
is child's play when you have the knack,
she says. It beats housework and is much
more interesting,

Snap, Says
‘ Visitor
: HEN you come to that stage of
| W your life when the old snap is
| about leaving you, play golf,
says 8. M. Ratcliffe, of Buffalo, in
i/\tlmnu on a visit, And golf will
either restore the snap you are losing,
‘m‘ give you another snap in place of
‘it though goodness knows it's no
‘Nll:llr to play golf
~ “I've been playing at Druid Hills"
waid Mr. Ratcliffe, “and It is a beauti
ful course. Also provoking. The
tree hazards are—well, hazardous in
the extreme.” "
Mr. Ratcliffe, an athlete all the
first part of his life. considered golf
as totally unnecessary until about
three years ago. On 'change he used
to win numerous small wagers by
standing flat-foted and jumping to
the top of tall tables. One day he
found he couldn’t quite make it. “My
friends had been teling me for years
that | would eventually take up golf.
I laughed at them. But the next day
I took up golf. Now I've got the
habit and 1 can't give it up.” And
golf put the old pep back Into Mr.
Ratcliffe’s system, and did more than
that,
“It's not so much the physical bene
fits,” he said, “as the complete change
of thought and mental attitude. T defy
any man to think about his other
troubles when he's in a hot golf
match.”
Asked how he managed to get away
from his office at first, before the
habit claimed him for its own, Mr,
Rateliffe said he made a business en
gagement with himself-—at first,
Later the three afternoons of golf a
week (or more) got to be more a part
of Mr. Ratcliffe’s life than his busi
ness wis,
“If it comes to the place where 1
ever have to make a choice between
golf and business, | know which one
I'll give up,” said Mr. Rateliffe, “and
it won't be golf. I make it a point
now never to let business interfere
with golf."”
Mr. Ratcliffe is wvisiting his niece,
Mrs. Walter G. Bryan, here. He will
be in Atlanta through Sunday.

practically all of the games,
Rawson starred with the Red and
Black team for three vears, from 1914
to 1917, He was the receiver of
Westhrook, probably the greatest
twirler that ever wore Georgia span
gles. The battery of “Westbrook and
Rawson” brought down many a ¢ol
lege batsman’s hitting average, and
many foes of old Georgia were cut
dewn by the powerful right arm of
Rawson, He has coached the River
side team this spring.
The addition of Rawson, if the story
is true, gives the (‘rackers four
catchers, all voungsters, The others
are Frank DeHaney, “Doc” Nieder

tle to choose between the four mask

Peters to Birmingham.
John Peters, the giant who caught
for Chattanooga and New Orleans
and went up to the Cleveland In
dians for a brief time, has signed with
the Birmingham Ba:ons. Peters, who
was without a job until the other
day, made several attempts to get on
with Atlanta, but his salary demands
were a bit too high.
Peters has never been good enough
for first-string ,catcher's job in the
Southern, and the Crackers can easi
ly do without his gervices
DeHaney Discharged.
Sergeant DeHaney, the recruit
Cracker catcher, who was erroneously
reported insured hy an army truck a
few days ago, was all smiles Friday
when he slipped ineo the office. The
reason was that Frank has been dis
charged from the army at Camp Gor
don, had his service stripe tacked on,
ete., and is yready to grab a train for
home, sweet home—Birmingham,
Frank left Sunday for Slagville, to
remain for a few davs, before report
ing at Ponce Del.eon for spring prac
tice on April 1, along with the others.
DeHaney is confident he will win a
berth behind the bat. He doesn’t care
how many candidates the Dutchman
has for the backstopping berths, for
he is confident he will win one of
them, and is going right after the
first string. If they all have the spir

Diving headlong into the future, it
is beginning to look like a sure b«
that the Crackers will drop the open

will be with Chattanooga when the
opening gun is fired. ‘“Rube”™ is a
tough nut to crack during the early
stages of the race, and the locals es
pecially have a hard time beating the
big right-hander, He seems to have
our opening day number.
“Rube” is going to hunt and fish for
a week or so, reporting late to Man

a great come-back this season,
Two other members of the Camp

Crackers Arve to Play at Camp Jesup
Opening of Ball
By JACK VEIOCK, 1
EW YORK, March 22.—With
N ghe opening of the major
league pennant races only a
month away, the baseball fan is pre
paring to settle down to a study of
the various pennant contenders and
their chances for 1919,
Most of the sixteen major league
clubs are today en route to the land
of cotton. By Monday the training
season will be on in full swing below
the Mason-Dixon line. I
As In other years, the majors an‘
taking a liberal numver of roeruit
players to the training camps, but re
ports from most of the big league
cities indicate that seasoned players
have the call already and wnless a‘
number of phenoms are uncovered
the workaday positions on all clubs
will be filled by players with major
league experience,
Followers of the game in all sec
tions of the country are predicting
that baseball will enjoy an auspicious
come-back. In the major leagues
the prospects for 1919 are unusually
bright,
Advance “dope” on the bilg league
pennant races indicates that there
will be a hot fight in both circuits
and that both the east and west will
send strong contenders out for the
pennants.
Four teams stand out In bold re
lief in the American League, The
world’s champicn Red Cox, the New
York Yankees, the Cleveland Indians
and the Chicago White Sox must all
be figured in the junior league’s race.
And the sectional locatlons of these
teams, two in the east and two in the
west, should lend color to the cam
paign,
In the National T.eague the cham
pion Cubs, the Giants and the Dodg
ers appear to be the strongest teams
on paper, though the Reds, under Pat
Moran's leadership, may be expectea
to come to life.
Five teams will start with new
managers. Moran with the Reds,
Rickey will start with the Cardinals
and Coombs with the Phillies, are the
new National League pilots. Kid
Gleason will make his bow in the‘
American as manager of the White
Sox and Jimmy Burke will get his
first real trial with the St. l.ouis
Browns.

DIZZY POLE
PINS GIANT
ED LEWIS
By REUBEN A. LEWIS.
(Special to The Georgian.)
EW YORK, March 22.—Totter-
N ing dizzily from the effects of
a three-minute headlock
clamped upon his bullet-like dome by
Stramgler Lewis, Wladek Zbyszko
snared the Kentuckian into a body
hold, hurled him heavily to the dias
and pressed his shoulders to the mat.
The fall that enabled the Pole to
claim the championship of America
came after an hour and 34 minutes of
wrestling before 15,000 people at
Madison Square Garden last night.
While the sport writers here all
but panned the match from the date
of its announcement the Square was
packed and hundreds stood.
R. H. MeCaw, who viewed the open
ing and the wind-up, told me that
several hundred congregated around
the more convivial center, which is
destined to pass away in midsummer.
Hundreds of women in evening gowns
and displaying clusters of diamonds
swarmed around the dias when the
two grapplers tugged away.
Lewis was the favorite, while
Zbyszko was booed several times dur
ing the course of the bout. It seemed
that the Strangler would be the win
ner after the match had progressed
an hour and a half, for he was in the
midst of a rally when the Pole hurled
him to the mat, flattening him out. ‘
ILewis in a manner that is charac
teristic, was leaping into the air and
arresting his fall by clutching the
Pole’s dome in his famous chancery.
During the last ten minutes of the
struggle he had applied the headlock
three times, but the Pole, his tucei
purple and agonized, succeeded in
wriggling himself free. It seemed
that Zbyszko, who resembled a huge
gorrilla as he maneuvered about the
ring, had more strength, but not the
quickness of the Kentuckian,
Danny Morgan, manager of the re
crowned champion, Jack Britton,
closed with a New Jersey promoter
for a match with either Eenny Leon
ard or Willie Ritchie. Danny, scan
ning the crowd, avowed that “the
rasslers certainly had a strangle hold
on the long green.” It was estimated
that $30,000 was paid in.

I'he Girl With the Smile
; 00 Ins
OT Just the Girl with the smile that lightens her face,
though, that, too, is an important business asset—but
the girl with the smile that lightens her voice when she
sends it out over the telephone wires and that leaves a pleas
ing impression with the person at the other end of the line!
To such young women of from 16 to 25, who display willing
ness and possess the necessary qualifications, telephone oper
ating offers big opportunities for advancement.
It offers good pay at the start when the accepted applicant
enters the Operators’ Training Defi)artment for instruction.
It offers increased pay as soon as she completes the training
period and is assigned to a central office as near her home as
the requirements of business permit. And from that time on
it offers advances in pay at frequent intervals and opportun
ities for promotion to many important supervisory positions
There are other features of telephdne operating that you will
want to know about, too—the rest rooms where the operators
spend their rest periods, the dining rooms where they may
bring their lunches or, as in the larger central offices, pur
chase one at cost, and the Plan for Sickness, Disability, Bene
fits and Insurance. ;

Cubs Only Club Giants
Fear, Says Stoneham
CHICAGO, March 22.—Charles E:
Stoneham, reeently named president of the
New York Mational League club, dropped
off in Chicago en route West, for a con
ference with his attorney, Frank J, Hogan.
Stoneham is a fan of the highest de
gree; in faet, it was his love for baseball
that brought him into the sport as a
magnate. S 0 when cornered he began
talking baseball at considerable length.
The Glants and the Cubs were his main
topies, for Stoneham frankly admitted he
thought MeceGraw’'s men would figure in
the 1919 world series if they finished
ahead of Chicago.
“The Cubs are the club the Giants have
to beat,”” the New York chief declared.
“Fred Mitchell is going to have another
powerful team and 1 look for another of
those fights in which New York and Chi
cago have contended for the champione
ship. The Giants are going to be a lit
tle stronger than last seasén, I believe, but
I also look for the Cubs to be stronger.
That's why I say the Giants have to beat
out the Cubs to win the pennant.”
There’s no chance for a trade between
the North Siders and McGraw’'s men, in
Stoneham’s opinion, because the Giants
have no material with which they are
willing to part that would be accept
able to the Cubs.
“MeGraw would like very much to have
one or two of these wonderful pitchers the
Cubs own,” explained Stoneham, ‘but
Mae has only 21 players right now and
thus is in no position to make a deal
with Mitchell.”
Dave Robertson, star outfielder, who
thus far has refused to sign a New York
contract, really is in earnest in his decla
ration that he will quit the team, Stone
ham believes. Dave has informed Giant
officials that he will not play with any
team except the Washington Americans,
“And MecGraw says Dave means it,”
concluded the Gotham executive.

‘ » s
Federals’ Again Lure
~ .
Pol Perrit, of Giants
By an odd twist of fate, Polly Perritt,
the Giant pitcher, Jhoclaims he is make
ing 86 much money out of a Louisiana oil
strike that he has not time to play ball,
again is being lured away from organized
baseball by a Federal leaguer. Harry
Sinclair, the former Federal League back
er, is heavily interested in the same Lou
isiana oil fields ncar Perritt’s property
and Perritt is working with him.
Back in 1915 Perritt jumped the St.
Leuis Nationals to go the Pittsburg Fed
erals, making the leap in midwinter.
MecGraw procured periaission from the St.
Louis elub to kidnap Perritt back for or
ganized baseball and agreed to send Bob
Bescher to St. Louis if he could have
Perritt.
McGraw made a quiet visit to Perritt's
plantfition in Louisiana and took Perritt
with him to the Giants’' training camp at
Marlin. Rebel Oakes, who then managed
the Pittshurg Federals, heard of Mec-
Graw’s pilgrimage to Louisiana and also
made a journey to Polly’s cotton lands.
However, Oakes got in a few hours after
McGraw had fled with his prize. Now
it may be necessary for McGraw to kid
nap Perritt from Harry Sinclair.

Picked
By CHARLES SHONESY,
WO of the five schools entered
I in the prep swimming meet
have decided the personnel of
their teams. Tech High and G. M. A.
have made the final cuts and the
rest of the schools are to do the sameg
in the next few days; the meet comes
off next Friday.
G. M. A. has its eight men pickedy
and under the tutorage of Lieutenang
Clayton they have been practicing the
various tricks to be staged. Aftep
watching the team work out, it seemg
to me that the other schools had bete
ter be working hard if they expect to
cop over this bunch.
The strong point of the cadets is
their diving and plunging; in both
these departments they seem to have
winners. The eight men on the G
M. A. squad are Rather, captaing
Stewart, Drew, Williams, Busseld
Sellers, Miers and Goethers.
Tech High propably had the best
material to pick its team from., Sevs
eral near water-animals are in school
and under the care of Mr. Goulding,
a Florida product in water affairs,
they have molded a team to be
feared by all.
Ed Willingham is the big fish of
the team. Yesterday at practice and
when the squad was reduced to ten
he finished first in every event en
tered, which was all, with the excep
tion of diving. Klotz is another in
habitant of water that is making
good with the Smthies. His mark is
almost as good as Willingham’'s. Wil
liams in fancy diving will make them
all step around. He copped last year
and is in better-form than ever.
The ten mén who weathered the
last reduction are Willingham, Klotzs,
Thomas, Therrel, Ryan, Russey, Ecin
ols, DiChristina, Kendrick and Wil
liams.
