H:rndon Hits Home Run for
y
Feature of Batting Attack.
Aiken and Adams Swept Off
By ED DANFORTH.
Charlie Frank essayed two hop
ofls Saturday before he got away, but
his third try was successful. That is,
‘n the all-important matter of select
ing a pitcher. You might even say
that the Cracker pilot took two wild
swings and then hit the third ball
p'tched for a home run.
Lefty Les Aiken and Big Bill Ad
ams were sent to the hill against
Memphis in order named; and a frac
tien of an inning was enough to con
vince Charlie that neither hurler was
it form.
Ray Roberts took the rubber in the
gecond, and working at a four-run
disadvantage, he hurled a winning
game. His mates batted in seven
runs for him, hammering the delivery
of two Chick pitchers. The final score
was 7 to 5. 'lt was quite a game.
Three times was a Chick attack
turned back by double plays-—not the
ordinary cut-and-dried twin-out, but
play s that required the use of every
bit of speed and precision of threw
ing possible. Nothing better ever is
cfiered in the big ring, and for these
three plays alone the game was well
werth a wild yarn to the boss for an
alternoon off.
Covered With Cellar Dust.
The ancient Cy Barger’s club, which
now ho'ds the cellar championship,
certainly looked the part Saturday.
His pitchers were as simple as Mc-
Cuffey'sFirstßeader and his infield was
not on the job. The gardeners fielded
bails slowly. Otherwise the club’s
all right—well behaved young men,
whoe are working hard and playing a
clian game. ’
His Mr. Foster, who . first ven
turcd out on the exposed mound, had
to retire in the second, under the
cattling fire of the Cracker sharp
shooters and by reason of his own
wildness. He was succeeded by a
Mr Goodbread. & |
Goodbread, if one may be so bold as
to adress such a husky gentleman in
such a handleless fashion, certainly
has the makings of a pitcher—two or
three, in fact. He shut out the view
of the scoreboard from the grand
stand when he took the hill; he has a
delivery like Jeff Tesreau, and is of
the same style of architecture. But
he was not right Saturday. No one
was fond of him but the Crackers.
He was touched for nine hits and
charged with four runs. But, gentle
men, He certainly has the build-that
woul%"s‘(und the wear and tear of a
200-game season.
The best that can be said for Bar
ger's crew is that they take a healthy
swing at the ball and connect fre
quently. This charming trait may
some day pull them out of the cellar,
unless they happen to hit town just
when a club is fielding as hot as were
the Crackers
Fast Double Plays.
3 Serappy Moore and Chick ()allowayfl
urdoubtedly were in form—either one |
could have made good with the Cubs
on their Saturday performance. They
collaborated in two brilliant double
plays that required some tall hurry
ing to catch the runner at first.
The ather double shut off a run,
#oing from Roberts to Niederkorn to
Griffin. It was a stunner. As long
as the Crackers play that way they
will pull into first division and stay
there,
I.cfty Aiken has been unfortunate
on his three starts withsthe Crackers.
It h~s bern first one thing and then
arothes. Saturday it was a shifling‘
I'a*», He walked two men. Bill Adams
¢l'c eeded, him and had the same
tro ‘ble. He plainly was not in shape
ard after a conference between in
nngs Ray Roberts was sent out to
wn from astern—and he did.
Hardin Herndon has recovered his
botting form. He poled out a clean
home run clear to the ditch by the
cor: brard and ran it out by a five
second margin., Scrappy shared the
spetliht with the right fielder by
batting the well-known “thousand.”
And Captain Mayer again horned
into the calcium with a single that he!
stretched into a two-bagger by game
running, and further added to his glo
ry by a brilliant catch in the ninth,
Dykes pilfered two bases. Moore
ard Galloway each swiped one. Bar-1
ger and Red Smith, ex-Vol, also
robbed the catcher of one. ‘
(Otherwise the game was unevemt’u!‘
—uneventful as a wedding on the
Lower East Side or a cullud cawn
likkah dansant. 1

Tech Star Trimmed in Straight
Sets by Tulane Man—Jackets
$ 4 . '
Finish Meet With Doubles Title
By CHARLES SHONESY.
Tech won the dobules in tennis, but
a youngster bearing the name of Fie.
belman, from Tulane University,
turned the tables and won over Frank
Owens, of Tech, for the singles titles
of the S. 1. A. A
The tourney was staged on the
East Lake courts and fast playing
featured all matches.
The first s.t Saturday went easily
to Fiebleman. His serves were accu
raie and he has an uncanny ability
of “putting them where you ain't.,” In
the first set Frank was chased all
over the court and the best he could
do was to make a%-2. “Hop” was off,
far off, in the first set.
In the second set both players were
ir far better form and the comeback
of Owens will long be remembered by
the gallery.
“Hop” played the Tulane represen
tative in the same style the Tulane
player was using. Both players raced
about he court like shuttles. Each
man won his serve until along about
the sixth split; then Owens pushed
across a win, then Fiebleman tied up
the match again, and sb it went until
accurate shots and an edge on serves
placed the championship in the hands
of the Tulane man.
Poth players were wizards at the
net but were off on the distance play.
Owens was weak on the serves, but
showed up strong on the net play.
These were the final matches in the
S. 1. A. A. meet.
Prep sports will be brought to an
end this week. The interscholastic
tennis tourney will begin Thursday
and continue through Saturday, and
the trip that the sAll-Prep will make
to Camp Benning will also take place,
the team embarking Friday morning
for a series of games with soldiers.
The tennis meet will be held either
on the East Lake courts or at the
Cascade Club. The meet was staged
at the Cascade last year before large
crowds. The entries will be as nu
merous as they were last season.
There are several young stars with
the racquet in our midst, among them
the singles and doubles champions of
Southern prep schools. At the big ath
letic carnival held in Sewanee several
weeks ago the singles and doubles
went to Tech High. “Ignatz” Czintz
and Harry Pritchett had easy sailing
in the doubles, and they had to play
each other for the singles honors. J
If we remember correctly, these
same boys won the meet last year.
Roane is another good man with the
Smithies. Boys' High has some great
racquet wielders, as have the others,
Roebuck, Fort, Nevin, Calloway,
Collins and Shelor were the big aces
of Boys High last year. Just how
many of the above will be in the
tourney is unknown. Some of them
must havé graduated, and some may
ing the place vacated by the great lit
be in the running. Fulton, G. M. A,
and Marist may have representatives.
G M. A. is practically out of it, as
they dismiss school about the first day
of the tourney. |
Now, the trip of Ad Brennan’s all-|
star team to Camp Benning to cross
bats with the great Elme. Oliphant
and company is awaited with keen
interest. Elmer has about as strong
a team as there is pastiming in the
State. ‘
Parts of this championship team,
plus parts of the others, are going to
cive Elmer a slight attack of brain
fever. The team that makes the trip
bats well in the charmed circle, fields
in a fast and true style, and the twirl
ers are strong with the slants,
This team has had one practice
game. The entire team was not in
that and they lost. But the team is
goeing strong when all are out, and the
scldiers are in for a hard tussle.
Captain Mumford will be unable to
play. He will manage from the bench.
Roane wil play in the shortfield, fill
ing the pace vacated by the great lit
tle leader. )

Experts Say Young Is
Faster Than Ty Cobb
(By International News Service,)
NEW YORK, May 24.—Many base
ball sharps are beginning to believe that
Ross Young, of the Giants, is a faster
base runner than Ty Cobb. Young
surely has developed into one of the
greatest ball players in the profession.
He is hitting splendidly and may be
the National League’'s champion bats
man this year. In the field Young is
covernig much ground and is making
hard catches look easy. Cobb always
has been a wonderful base runner, but
if you will watch Young when he hus
tles around the paths perhaps you will
think, as others do, that he i 3 unex
celled in speed. So far Young is lead
ing the National League in batting, amrd
it is nct an accident.

Coach of Champion Crimsons
Fails to Select Tech Players,i
|
| but Hits on Strong Paper Team.‘
: By B. L. NOOJIN, ‘
| Director of Athletics, University of Ala.
l‘.'\'l\"l‘l(sl'l‘h\'. ALA. May 24-—-B. L.
Noojin, of the University of Alabama
'anmnun('ml his all-Southern baseball
| pick today Coach Noojin has seen all
Ilhv S. 1. A. A, teams in action with
{ the exception of Mercer, and his selec
‘li(m is based on the respective merits of
the players, :
The Crimson nine steered by Coach
Noojin has won the third championship
out of the last four years.
Following is the pick: |
Pitchers ....:....Boone .v... Alabama
Philpot ......Georgla
Pepper. ..Miss A. & M.
Johnson ........Auburn
Catcher Ceaviesßtyion ... .. . KIBRNIEN
First base ......Thomas ....Vanderbilt
Second base .....Sewell .....Alabama

|Center field .....Lenoir .......Alabama
| Leit field Cievidackson. ... Boward
Utiity ..o MOTERN i:.... . MeETCOT
l As to the Pennant. |
Ag to the championship, Noojin says:
“When it comes to rating or ranking
the team after you have picked Ala
bama and Georgia for first and second
lplm-x-s, respectively, you have to stop
ande count it a tie with all the others
!flil third place. Their records are all
mixed up with wins and loses among
'lh(-mflel\rs that 8o far as 1 Kknow any
of them wottld prefer giving the honor
to the other fellow than to try to es
tablish their claim
Fortunately there can be no argument
as to who gets the championship, as
Alabama only lost one game out of the
| most extensive and ambitious schedule
igshe hasg played in a number of years,
land that kame was a s‘u:lt‘ freak 11-
inning 4 to 3 affair wilh Clemson at
the end of a hard road trip. Styles,
| Alabama’s catcher, pitched the game.
{You will not that 1 did not list him
lamong my all-Southern pitchers.
Next comeg Georgia with one of the
best teams ghe has had since the days
of Hedfern, Harmon, Derrick and Mar
itin, a well-balanced, clean-fielding
flt'um. with clever pitehing and base
running. A little shy behind the bat
’und in team hitting, they had a great
jrecord and only lost to two S. I. A. A,
| teams, one to Alabama and one to Mer
cer.
f “Both Alabama and Georgia return a
|strong nucleus for next year, and with
| Georgia playing a two-game return se
ries at Alabama, it will be worth going
lacross states to sce the battle for su
premacy.”

The Crackers again have “arrived.”
They were playing at the first of
the season in just such form as has
characterized their last six starts.|
Then came the slump that descended
upon the camp after several sudden
and radical shifts were made in Lhe
lire-up on the road trip. ‘
Back home again, and the boys’ Imls‘
came home to roost. They have beat
en such good clubs as Birmingham,
Nashville and Little Rock. The come
back, therefore, is not artificial.
There's room for improvement, of
course, before pennants can be
thcught of, but the home club is in
‘guml shape just now.
NOTICE IT?
Yes, the Crackers have a
first baseman named Griffin
and so have the Chicks. It
was noted several times this
morning besides in the box
score.
| Ray Roberts has broken his run of
! hard luck. He seemed to have been
lf;mwl to start either when the op
poging club had a no-hit pitcher work
!inu or when the Crackers were off
{on their hitting. But be came |
||hu,u;.:h under difficulties to a handy
victory.
HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
The Mercer tennis team ar
rived in Atlanta a day late for
the Southern intercollegiate
tenins matches. Probably they
tried to reach the city by
train,
They tell me a Tech student in Ath
ens tried to cash a money order for
$lO and the only man in town who
could identify him was his cousin,
whom he owed $7.50. Which is what |
I call the height of misfortune I
THE COLONEL SAYS:
And did you see what Sir
Barton did in the Withahs—
three straight stakes in three
stahts—the greatest 3-year
| old, sah, in America.
There is just one thing that's as!
hard to do as hit a home run in a
pirch. Did you ever sit at your desk
anc try to get the firm’s private

you want 'em, she always rings cen
