TECH HIGH, FIRST TO CUT SQUAD, ELIMINATES 148 BASEBALL CANDIDATES ‘ONLYPREP Five Pitchers and Nine Outfield ers Are Included Among the Men Remaining. By CHARLES SHONESY. L The announcement this morning by Capt. Albert Jordan of a cut in the . Tech High baseball squad is the first real sign of prep baseball Atlanta has evinced. He has slaughtered the squad, cutting them from 168 to 28, exactly 140 young athletes being passed up. These, with all the other students at Tech High, will play baseball, however, as an inter class league is being formed to de velop material for future teams. The material is pretty evently di vided and all the positions seem well taken care of. Any players who have not yet tried out may do so. This will include the entire basketball squad of about fifteen players, who finished the playing season only last Saturday. FIVE ARE TWIRLERS. | There are five ambitious pitchers, all of whom have won Iletters at school for mound duty. Four of this quintet played under the Tech High banner last season; the other was the star hurler for Marist in the Atlanta Prep League. Frank Lake, Albert Jordan, Ed Niles and B. B. Lots peich are the quartet who sport tHe Tech High letter, while Dick Peel is the Marist acquisition. This is a very strong outfit. ‘ There are three catchers left, Win ston Carroll, sub of last year; Calla-} han, a newcomer, and Clark, another‘ rookie. Only two men are trying for the initial sack, Hodges, who played‘ that position some last year, and| Hammond. At the keystone a real battle is being waged for first hon ors. Boots Dillingham, a star player of a Virginia team last year, is lead ing the race. He is not far ahead of the other three, Sewell, Hanahan and Abbott. There are four candidates left for third. These are Terrell, Dorough, Johnson and Weatherly. Weatherly, although rather slight in build, is cut ting all kinds of capers on the hot corner. He is clouting the ball with & vengeance, and js fielding in jam up style. Only one man is left for the shortfield, and he is a corker. Nolan Richardson, who played some Jast year, is due to become a star before this season has passed up the pike. NINE FLY CHASERS. There are nine outfielders left— Harris, R. A. Jordan, Smith, Hol brook, Hollingsworth, Alley, Slater, De Jarnette and Sturgeois. There are several boys on the basketball| team who will come out for outfield positions, two of whom are Ed Mer ritt and Pee Wee Stewart. “Goat” Cochran, who has pitched in the big leagues and who played a good bit around the semi-pros last vear, is coaching the team at pres ent. Head Coach Fancher will have charge of the boys soon. He has been working with the basketball team. This will probably be the only big cut executedd by a local high school this year, as very few have more; than a handful of candidates. Pea cock will not cut; neither will Boys’ High, and it is not thought that the others will. The only possible cuts are G. M. A. and Fulton High. The first game is just ten days off. The G. 1. A. A. will open its season March 26 and the Atlanta Prep League will follow suit April 6. If possible, Tech High will play the Federal Prison team Saturday. Other practise games are expected before that Catcher Townsend Is .

(C) 1920 wv InTL 'PRatumt Bawvien lec ¢« 713 —~O T iU @ ’ TECH TO HAVE STRONG HITTING COMBINATION After a rest the day before, the Tech baseball squad came out Sat urday in full force for the after noon’s practise. The winds had served to a good purpose though for the field for the most part had dried admirably. The high breezes Kkept the playing down to a kind of routine practise and sort of bampered the workout all the way around. Down around the south end of the field there was a small lake. Except for this the filats were in excellent shape, so Coach Bean shifted the scene of practise to the central part of the park, The batterymen were sent to the north end of the field under the shelter of the steep bank and high fence.. Here they warmed up for nearly an hour and later were called down for a little fielding and batting practise. Coach Bean dismissed them early,. howeven, for he was .taking no cﬁances “on ruining a perfectly good arm just for an atternoon’s fun or frolie. A FORM!DABLE LINE-UP. The infielders and outfielders were put through quite a stiff bit of work by Coaches Bean and Clay, despite the coolness of the atmosphere., For half an hour or so they were scat tered from onhe en dfo the field to the other, divided in small groups, bunting, chasing fungoes, and so on. They were then assembled for a goodly session of batting practise, smashing the old ball out, then lay ing it down, and circling the bases. The Tech batting orde ris going to be a formidable sort of combination this year, and will give the opposing hurlers a large number of things to worry about. Starting off with a left handed batter as lead off man, they alternate from one side of the plate to the other, all of which is no noticeable help to any hurler. Of the off eided batsmen who will prob ably be in the White and Gold line up there are Settle, Webb, Turner, Ingram and Wheeler which makes quite a formidable list. The battery staffs would be 50 per cent better than they were last vear for more reasons tran one. One of the purstanding items is that every varsity pitcher and catcher, as well as every scrub of the 1919 aggrega tion, is back again and there's no W. and L. Baseball ' Candidates Start - - 9-Inning Games LEXINGTON, Va, March 15— Coach Raftgry has had the bdattery men of the Generals working out for about three weeks in the cage, and all the athletes are in fine shape. With the coming of warm weather a few days ago, he called all the can didates out and has had the athletui going at top speed. ‘ There are about eighty gten trying for the team, and in this squad there is a wealth of good material. Pros pects are better here for a winning team than ever before, and for that reason baseball interest is at a high! ebb 1 aa around Wilson Field. ; Beginning today, Coach Raftery will| put his men through regular nlne-ln-‘ ning practise games. He will build his squad around the following vet erans: “Shrimp” Jones, second base man and captain of the team; Bob Yancey, third baseman; Johnny Drye, on the initial sack, and Sam Raines| and Mat Henderson, outfielders. The veteran battery men are Jack Corbett: and Jimmy Mattox. There are a number of old-timers out for the team-—players who were here before the war and who later starred in the A. E. . This list in cludes Pete Hisle, third baseman, and Pidt Collins, shortstop, of the 1917 team. A big outfielder named Bill MceKinley is also in school. Such men ag Daves, Monk Mattox, Wolford and Bonner are pushing the vareity men for posgitions. Curley Burke, a second baseman of a naval teanm, and Farrest Cobb are also attracting attention. . There are five promising hurlers to help Corbett out, many more than were on hand last year. Milbourne.a ‘big right-hander; MeCullum, former Fishburn piteher: John Thempson, reason on earth why they will not all be vastly improved with the ad ditional year’s training and ex perience. The other big item is that there are more promising new men in school than there has been since the ante-bellum days. Take the moundsmen, for instance. There are at least twelve men who come out every day, eager to get into a practise game to show what they can do. And when they do get in they show something, too, in ths way of curves, control, and ability. Back in the catcher’s hox, there were s 0 many good men that the coaches figured two of them out on the in field so that they ~ouid better judge the six or seven that were left. There are going to be some fast working combinations around third ‘and second this vear on the Jackets’ roster. Especially have Cobb and Flowers. attracted attention by their crack, bang up style of play about the keystone cushions. Webb and Turner on the first and third bags, respectively, are enjoying their third season on the Tech varsity and are both right there with the goods. An outfield of Settle, Inzram and Barron looks able to take care of itself on any ball lot. GAMES WITH FLORIDA. Manager Dowling announced that he had arranged for the Jackets to journey down to Gainesville to tackle the University of Florida in & brace of games on April 26 and 27. The first date is Memorial Day and a holiday which accounts for the Jack ets being allowed a trip at the firat ‘part of a week. There is also a chance that they can extend their trip a little and include a couple of more games on their schedule when they do invade the Seminole State. All this week will find the squad hard at work every afternoon. Coach Bean has charge of the veterans and Coach Clay of the new men. The two sections meet In five or six in ning battles each afternoon for some very good exhibitions. There is a good probability that a pre-season game will be arranged for next Sat urday afternoon, for it is just one 'week after that when the team meets ‘Erskine College of Due West, 8. C, down on Grant Field to open their regular schedule. T McMillan Is | ~ Only Bear Holdout, Says John D. Logan —— MOBILE, Ala., March 18—Tommy McMillan of Atlanta, shortstop of the Mobile Southern Association team for the past two years, is the only real holdout on the Mobile club. 'MeMillan, according to President ‘John D. Logan, is asking for mors ‘money than the cilub can pay him for hig services. The player and presi dent have been arguing back and forth for several days. McMillan last night delivered an ultimatum over the telephone that unless his de mands were granted he was going to Florida to play independent baseball. | 32 Track Records Broken In A. A. U. Tournament (By International News Service.) NEW YORK, March 15—Three championship track records were gshattered and one champion lost his crown at the National Sensor Indoor LChamp!onshlp events of the A. A. «J, staged Saturday in the Twenty ' second Regimental Armory. New marks for the A. A.

When Mr. Reynolds first stepped off the train in Atlanta icicles were clinging to his features. “Believe me, they are having some regular winter up in that country,” said Sir Frank. “It's so blooming cold that goldfish as pets are being abandoned.

Do you remember Percy Cove, the stringbean featherweight from Seattle? \ Oh, he was the skinniest guy that ever lived, but he had a heart as big as a telephone book, ac cording to Ben Rosenthal, Some years ago Percy came here to box and Ben took him under his wing. At that time the panic was on with Ben and his b. r. was very low, In Percy he saw a chance to grab some jack. He had his man weighed at a gym, and as he tipped the beam at 1161-4 pounds Ben thought it Hest to stick on a few pounds to strengthen him. He sent Cove to Jimmy de For rest's place at Long Branch, and for three weeks had him fed up on the fat of the iand. Then he got a letter from Cove which read: “Dear Ben—l feel as strong as a horse and am as big as a house. Get me four or five fights right away., Will be up tomorrow.’ Ben rushed down to the station to meet his warrior. Percy was as brown as an Indian and full of pep. Hé looked good to Ben. They went up to Bill Brown’'s gym to try out the scales. Percy stripped, jumped on the old Fairbanks and tipped the beam this time for exactly 116 1-2 pounds. HIS GREATEST FIGHTER. Frank Stevens, who has more peanuts that Rockefeller has nick els, will not hear any one fighter named as a marvel until he first hears Ketchel’'s monicker pulled. Frank thinks that Ketchel was the bravest, the toughest, the best looking, the most dangerous, the most lovable, the-~the—the-—the— oh, eveything! IT AIN'T RIGHT, WILL. Some guy sent Willie Meehan a postal card the other day, and on the back of it was printed in large type: SOME FAT MEN ARE GOOD NATURED, I SUSPECT BECAUSE THEY CAN NEITHER RUN NOR FIGHT. CANADA CAL’'S CHIRPS, | Some one has already said Wood was presidential timber; but has dnybody asked whether or not the governor of Illinois’ ‘boom’ is a loud 'un? No, Gwendolyn, the man vbz acts as arbiter of the balls an strikes in a baseball game is not called a “vampire’ but an “um pire’ You ma ythink that a cam pire, being in one sense a ‘“bat” has something to do with base ball. But, no; you can see a vam pide.” You may thing that a vam that is a human vampire. She is an adventuress, and separates fools from their money. The umpire leads an adventurous life, it is true, but he doesn't get any more money out of the game than is coming to him. When a news reporter is assigned to get an interview he is instructed not to take “No” for an answer; but when a news film photographer goes after anything the more neg atives he gets the better. “It's a long time between drinks” has beeén superseded by “It's a long distance between ‘smiles’.” All the way to Cuba, Mexico or Bimini, in the south, or to Montreal, in the north, Besides “smiles’ is a word that has a full “mile’ between the first let ter and the last. sppe Johnny Griffiths Is Back From France (By Universal Service.)
