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

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

- 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.

~ 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.

Frank H. Reynolds, vice presi

returned from a business trip to
Baltimore, Md. He hasn't thawed
out thoroughly since he parked in
Atlanta following his trip North.
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. They
freeze into cakes of ice overnight.
The wise boys are getting larger
aquariums and putting trained
seals in 'em. You know the seal
is as much at home .n a cake of
ice, as Brer Rabbit in the briar

Commenting further on his trip,
the Cracker mogul remarked:
“They do things in a big way in
Baltimore.”
“How zat?' I asked, slightly
shrugging my eyelids and looking
interested. .
“Why, one night up in Balti
more, while I was there, a bunch
of booze burglars, backed auto
trucks into a liquor storage house,
stole SBO,OOO worth of liquor, and
they haven't caught 'em yet.”

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

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.

MOBILE, Ala.,, March 15.—“A1l I
need is a second baseman and we,..
will be read sto go,” declared Manager
Bob Coleman of the Mobile Southern*"
Association team, who has begun his %
spring training with his team. s
“Third base? Not worried there at

a bit chesty over his team’'s prospects«’
this season. Manager Coleman iss"
just in from Taylor, Tex., where he .

Settlement of the third base prob
lem will be welcomed by Mobile fans -
as they nad worried a great deal over
the man who will tend Joe Schep-«#
ner’s old job. Manager Coleman &
states that he has already secured a =
third baseman, but can not announce®s
his name at this time. Although Tom '
McMillan is a holdout to date, hisi®
demands are not giving serious con-'»
cern. At first base, Walter Golvin »
is expected to return, but if not an- -
other first baseman can be secured.
Coleman is especially sweet on the
infield. He is gatisfied that Guy Tut- .
willer will hit and field as well as
ever, and he also believes that “Moon™
Ducote, with a yvear's experience-un
der his belt, will be a much more
valuable man. “And, oh, boy,” said -
Coleman, growing enthusiastie, “wait
