Travelers Blow Up, Crackers Win;
LOCALS CHASE BOMAN,
UMPIRE CHASES THE KID
£ ‘“i’ji';tik“f‘v‘;'~;.ff:-'t,ffi.'.f“.}f],'."mf(i'f{;?;". gy ilos,
By GUY BUTLER. !
Kid Elberfeld grew tired of' fussing
with ‘his players and Umpire: Black
burn from the visitors’ bench .Friday,
s he watched the final three lnmmn‘
ffom the street car men's box, all
dolled up in a sort of disguise, ac
cording to a war correspondeng who
fal.owed the Tabasco One around. The
Kid borrowed a conductor's caps offen
a stranded motorman (or maybe he
wag a conddctor) over in the bax, and
l)v stuck himself in between a couple
of street car guardians and witmessed
the bickerings in that manner |
Umps Blackburn, a plentiful tdndi- |
yidual, after listaning to the chirping
of the youthfu! manager for six in
nings, during which time the Kid ro-}
viewed the past record of His Umpfi,‘
and gave a description of how each
heave should have been called, yanked
off his mask and made a bee line for
ilie Little Rock bench, to chase the
pesky Kid. He did, after a few min
utes, with the aid of a bluecoat,
But Atlanta won, 9 to 3. It was
the final game of the series, and a
very slow battle as batiles go. In
cidentally, it was the Crackers’ fourth
victory in the last five games played.
You wihl remember they took a pair
from Nashville, one from the Travel
crs, then spilled one, and came back
with two in a row,
Roughhouse Game.
It was a rough-house ball game,
with lots of solid ivory on exhibition
in $o Little Rock line-up. They
fought very well for a few innings,
but ran amuck sure enough when
their flery manager was extinguished.
All the boys had a hand in the vic
tory, but Joe Thorburn, Chick Gallo
wav and Captain Mayer should be
praised highly. It was New Orleans
Joe who relieved Lunkg Lefty Les
Aiken and held Little Rock, widely
heralded as a slugging gang, to one
safe blow, and that was a two-base
whaek from the bat of Dee Walsh.
Joe never exhibited more stuff, and
hmy{gmrol was exceptionally good.
Mayd you have noticed that Joe's
control 18 the least of his worries
nowadays, for he is becoming a reg
ular Matty in that respect. Gallo
way gets a share of the honors, be
ouuse he bumped the two Traveler
gmfirn for four consecutive wallops,
r laying down a sacrifice in the
first inning. Captain Mayer camo!
throigh with a double, single, 4 run
d a sacrifice. Thorburn also hit
well, as per usual, cracking out two
singles, and he tallied twice. {
. “Turkey” Hammered.
Eiberfeld used a brace of slabsters’
——“Purkey” Boman and John Henry|
Robingon, better known Aas "Rube."‘
Neither had anything that bafled
the town boys, and they st r:nhghtenmr
everything fed to them, Including the
“Rube’s” famous curve. Boman has
been at Camp Jesup for some time,
and he just reported to Little Rock
this week., It was his figst start of
the season, and he was nos right. The
Kid pltched him three innings-—just
long enough for the homelings to col
lect four runs and six hits Robby
vielded ten hits and five runs duving
the five innings he worked,
The game was nothing to get ex
cited over, after the first couple of
“pasms, and the chief topic of the
Juy was FElberfelds banishment,
whiech looked as though it might re
sult in a scrap between the peppery
little guy and a rotund copper, for
the Kid was good and sore. But he
realized he was up against the long
arm of the law,
Little Rock scored right away.
Frierson opened with a bingle to left,
and Bratchi allowed the ball to speed
through his ailing props, giving the
runner second. Distel sacrificed, and
Walsh's sky ball tallied Frierson. The
Crackers went 'em one better, though,
in their half. Bratchi singled, Chick
sacrificed, Mayer singled Fred home,
and Herny doubled Sam in.
The visitors counted again in the
third. Frierson was hit, and Distel
walked. Frierson got out at third,
but Walsh’'s blow brought Distel
acdross, One run.
Winning Handily.
Atlanta made two. Galloway sin
gled, Mayer sacrificed, and Herny
waiked. Dykes forced Herny, scor
ing Chick, and Dykes pilfered second
Griffin bumped a sin“le to center
scoring Dykes, and Griff stole,
Encugh. The fourth inning gave us
two more. Neiderkorn and Thor

A cozy five-room flat has been se
cuted for him.
Teh arrival of “Big Bill”. Tate, the
colored heavyweight, of New York;
Terry Kelelr, the Dayton lightweight,
‘:md others less notable has given llm!
Lvhnll@ngm‘ a desire to being “mixing

adhered to the program of no hard
work before next week, and as a
result a little road work, some shadow

constiuted the training program. }

PICK YOUR OWN GRERATEST FIGHTER.
Fight fans have never yet agreed upon the greatest fighter that
ever lived. It can't be settled any better than the question of the
greatest ball player.
Go among fellows who have seen fighters since the days when
Hector was a pup and you'll seldom find two that agree upon the same
man.
There are fans who will say that John L. Sullivan was the greatest.
In Australia “Old Bill" Corbett won't stand for anyone but Peter Jack
son. Go to Frisco and Eddie Graney will tell you that no one ever
held a candle to Jim Corbett. Eddie knew Corbett when Jim was
18, and followed him right through.
Alex Greggains swears by Jack McAuliffe. He says the fighters of
today, and especially the lightweights, make him laugh. As to light
weights nowadays, Greggains says they don’t class at all. He swears
that McAuliffe, Lavigne and Gans would have beaten Benny Leonard
with ease.
Bill Jordan, the famous announcer, was a great admirer of Joe
Thomas. Jordan didn’t think that there was a man living who could
beat Joe. Sam Fitzpatrick, who handled Peter Jackson and a number
of other stars, stuck by Kid Lavigne in his pick. Sam could never see
any other fighter. The Saginaw Kid, according to Sam, was the grand
est fighting machine that ever stepped into a ring.
Jim Corbett trained for his second fight with Jeffries at Croll's
Gardens in Alameda. At that time KEddie Hanlon was there training,
too. Corbett watched Eddie daily for weeks. He was daffy on him.
He told Nat Goodwin one day that he had never seen such a battler
as Kddie. Jim used to sit and watch Hanlon beat up partners by
the score.
Is it any wonder that nowadays we hear guys yelling about their
different champs?
The Willard-Dempsey thing has started the heavyweight argument
all over again. Just who the greatest heavy was is hard to tell. All
the way from Sullivan to Johnson there were stars.
Very few people, however, say that Willard was the star of his
class. 4
b Dempsey is too new to judge as vet.
GLORIOUS OLD BOSTON.
They knocked Sunday baseball dead in Boston the other day.
The bill was killed deader than a door nail. Dear me! Think
of playing ball of a Sunday in such a blue-blooded town as Boston.
The guy that wrote the following poem said something:
Here's to Glorious old Boston,
The home of the bean and the cod,
Where the Cabots speak only to Lowells
And the Lowells speak only to God.
MY WORD! '
Dear Sir--Having attended the baseball exhibition between the
New York and Cincinnati teams, and learning that yoit Americans
are anxious to introduce your national pastime in my native England,
[ thought 1 would write and tell you of certain changes that would
do a great deal to make the game popular in Albion.
To begin with, my better feelings were sadly outraged by vulgar
persons who went through the stands trafficking in a meat product
known to the common herd as “hot dogs” or “weenies.” How much
more refined and uplifting would be the serving of toasted muffins and
piping hot tea!
Then again, the costumes worn by the players are positively too
rakish. Round white bowler hats and white duck trousers would be
more dignified and, consequently, betted fitted to attract the sturdy sons
of Britain to the game, [ assure you.
Also, the manly appearance of the players would be heightened by
the wearing of mustaches, thus rendering them less juvenile in ap
pearance.
Trusting that you, as a prominent sporting author, will bring these
suggestigns to the attention of your readers, I am, sincerely,
DUDLEY SINCLAIRE.

Hank was on the receiving end of
things today. Not only was he be

SBOO worth of Vietory bonds bought
from a fund contributed by admiring
fans. Along with the bonds was a
solid gold watch and chain and clgar‘

TECH STAR IS FACED BY
TULANE MAN FOR TITLE
Howard and Owens Win Doubles Championship.
Latter Opposes Feibleman in Singles at
l 2:30 This Afternoon.
| BY ED DANFORTH.
Galleries at intercollegiate tennis
tournaments usually as as sparse as
Republican votes in Georgia.
The attendanee at the Southern in
terchbllegiate meet was no exception
to the rule, but for the benefit of
those who like to see fast, cleanly
played tennis, I'll say that they've
overlooked a bet, if they've missed
the event that's now at the climax.
The finals in singles were to be play
ed Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
and anybody who takes a trip to the
Kast Lake course will se a high
geared match between the two best
college rackets weilders in the South.
Frank Owens, of Tech, meets Fei
bleman, of Tulane, for the singles
title. Both have worked through the
preliminaries, Feibleman having
easier going than the Tech star. In
fact, the strength of the Louisiana
boy's game has not yet been brought
out.
But it's a safe bet he will be pump
ed Saturday afternoon.
Both players are strong men. Both
have a smashing style of service in
which branch the visitor may have
a slight edge. But the mid-court and
close-up play of Owens shades out
Feibleman’s advantage, if any, leaves
it to the breaks of the game, A couple
of back-line players put up an easy
match to watch, but net epicures pre
tc;r the kaleidioscopic shuttling of net
play.
Howard and Owens, of Tech, copped
the Southern intercollegiate tennis
title Friday in doubles for the second
time by defeating Hall and Spence,
of Davidson, in straight sets, 6-3. 6-2,
6-3. The first set went to the Tech

team after the score stood three all.
Owens copped his service and then
the Tech team took Spence’s service
and the first set,
The second set was a repetition of
the first and Howard’'s reverse twist
service kept the opposing players at
gea, Oweng’ driving was badly off
this set, but he found himself in the
third, and Tech copped, 6-3,
In the singles Feibleman, of Tu
lane, defeated Hall, of Davidson, in
straight sets by the count of 6-2, 6-1.
Feibleman’s net game was too much
for the Carolina player, and, although
he put up a game fight, the final out
come was never in doubt.
In the other bracket Owens, of
Tech, defeated Morse, of Tulane, in
straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. Both men
were off their game, but Owens man
aged to steady down in the pinches,
and the final result was due to his
fast and accurate net game,
Two players composing Mercer's team
in the tournament arrived Friday. They
were too late for the preliminaries and
had to pack up their rackets and re
turn home without a try for the honors.
‘Gibbie’ Fraser Elected
Tech Tennis Manager
“Gibbie Fraser, the well-known ten
nis shark and champion swimmer,
will manage the 1920 Tech tennis
team. “This was announced Saturday.
This is Fraser's first year on the
tennis team and he gave a good ac
count of himself. He had the mis
fortune of drawing Feibleman, of Tu
lane, in the first round of the South
ern, but he put up a good game, and
with a year’s experience should make
them all hustle next year.
