AMERICAN SAILORS

Norfolk, Va, April 3O.-Amerlcan sailors won. all of the places in two of the three international races between the crews of warships rendezvouing in Hampton Roads today, but the British took first and sec ond places in one of the contests. The races were between four-oared gigs. twelve-oared admiral barges, and eigh- teen-oared sailing launches.
 In the first race which was between the gigs, there were fourteen entries, among them being boats from the Brit ish cruisers Goodhope and Argyll, the Austrian cruisers Sankt George and As- perm and the German cruisers Bremen and Room It was over a two-mile straightaway course and was won in a pretty finish by the Ohio's boat. The Iowa was 34 seconds behind with the Indiana tapping her The winners time was 20 minutes, 30 seconds
 The Argyll won the race for admiral barges, with the Goodhope second and the New Jersey crew third. Time, IS min utes, 10 seconds. There were sixteen en- tries.

GREAT PROBLEM CONFRONTS
 YR. HARRY VAUGHN, MANAGER
Strengthen Batting Without Decreasing Fielding Ability Harry Cray cock Versus Lister and Montgomery Manager Takes Big Chances Every D-
 ton Biased Sporting Writers Sentiment Business and Other Things
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS.

retained again at first and Alcoek at third. What then?
 There must be another catcher. Shall this catcher be Montgomery or Mltze
 Mitze is just good a catcher as is Montgomery, and will hit as hard as Montgomery is hitting at present. Behind the bat Mitze Is just as valuable as is Montgomery. Which shall Vaughn re- tain? If he retains Montgomery, why? Then what becomes of Lister2 One man must be turned adrift. Shall 1t be he?
 All of these matters demand grave con sideraton. Manager Vaughn remembers that the present team won pennant last season, and in the expert exposition of the game, outclassed any other team in the league.
 Inconsistent Writers.
 There are several sporting editors about the circuit who, were they not expert men in the writing of sporting news, would make capable baseball managers.
 Now, 1t generally happens that these men will do just exactly what they have insisted, with dewy eyes. that the fan refrain from doing. They have said, If a man strikes out, do not roast the fan ned one, but praise the skill of the op- posing pitcher"
 Now, Lister, in the game Monday with Atlanta was not a miserable failure. Ills fielding record was better than any other member of the Baron team. It Is a fact, too, that he is perhaps the most brilliant fielder in the Southern league today. Lis ter has made no error this season. In
 the game Monday Lister got as many hits 1 as did Gardner, Oyler, Montgomery or | Garvin He, therefore, was not a miser- able failure, but played star game. ! It Is unfair to deal so harshly with one man and boost the game of another. Montgomerys record this season is not as bright as is Listers. Nothing, how
 ever, is said concerning Montgomery. It is generally believed in Birmingham, and ! 1t Is probably true that Montgomery's recent illness has seriously interfered with his eyeslght. He has not hit the ball since hls recovery, and while his dis placement by Alcock is a serious matter, so far Montgomery has not shown up with the goods that a first division team deserves.
 Vaughn Experiments. Manager Vaughn yesterday placed Meek on first and Alcock on third It is sug- gested that these men be retained in these positions for the next ten days. At that time some one will have to go, and at that time Manager Vaughn will probably
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-05-01

Looking the proposition squarely in the face, every fan about the circuit must admit that Manager Vaughn has a unique problem to solve. perhaps the most diff cult that ever confronted him.
 When the Barons are In the field lit- tie improvement is needed. On first. Lis ter Is the best fielding baseman who ever wore a Birmingham uniform. Walters, in the field, is above reproach. Oy1er Is the fastest shortstop in the league, and Montgomery is with the average at third.
 But when the Barons are at the bat, they are exceedingly weak. Consider the in1eld. Lister can ncs hit. Walters can not hit. Oyler can not hit. Montgomery can not hit
 There is no doubt but that the hitting of this inheld must be improved, it mat ters not what the cost might be-
 On the other hand in improving the hitting. the fielding must not be weak ened to such an extent that the better ment in one department is more than counterbalanced by the deterioration in the other
 This, in short Is the problem that con- IiOhAS LiAO iidudS0i' tiOH NNt N'fS A'i field be made stronger at the bat, and no weaker, or not much weaker, in the diamond?
 Taking Big Chances.
 The remedy that the fan will suggest at once is
 Put Meek on first and Alcock on third.
 By doing this the hitting will be bet tered. The fielding will be rendered less effective, however. Lister is the best fielding baseman who ever wore Baron union. He can cover more ground than Meek ever dreamed of, and can field the position in as effective and graceful a style as any other, excepting a Frank Chance, or a Hal Chase Then third will be weakened. too. It is serious matter, this of entrusting the third cor ner to Alcock. He is not an infelder. His record thus far is inferior to that of Montgomery. It is a fact, too, that AL cock can not control his head at critical moments, and is less strong at those times vhen the danger imminent demands coolness and good judgment
 But leaving out of consideration the ifs and the "ands,' suppose Meek is

Atlanta, April 3O.-(Special.) )-Reube Zel- Ter and Vincent Turner fought out a great slab battle this afternoon and the victory went to the Wizard" Turner, however snatched some laurels from de- feat by connecting with one of the "Reu- ben's' fast ones in the sixth inning and driving the ball over left field fence for as pretty a home-run as has been seen on the Atlanta diamond in years. That one score was the sum total of the Barons crossing the platter, however, while At lanta was fortunate enough to hit the Sally" recruit quite freely in the second inning, which netted a couple of runs This number might easily have been in creased had the Crackers played more cautious game on the paths.
 Crowd Tells, "Ragan."
 In that second Turner seemed up in the air and the crowd began to yell for Ragan.
 Dyer started the ball to rolling by ing 1t out. Rowan ran for him. Then Fox increased the excitement by sending one over the head of Molesworth in cen- terfield. "Gladys" made a game run, got his fingers attacked to the horsehide but lost it. Rowan had scored and Fox reached third when the ball came sailing again to the infield. Paskert singled to center and Fox cantered home. Then Paskert got gay or some one tipped him off the wrong signal He tried steal and was neatly nlpped at second. Thus the Atlanta rally ended, for though Cas- tro singled to left he was forced by Zeller, and Winters "ballooned.'
 Centerfelder Star.
 From then on the game was fast and furious with brilliant work on both sides. Winters and Molesworth starred in cen ter the former grabbing a ball and somer- saulting This was in the fifth when Meek singled, reached second on a wild toss to first and remained there while Winters did his circus stunt on a jab from Alcock, which looked mighty safe. While Winters was on the ground, Meet mad his way to third. Garvin flied out to Winters and Meek could not make home. Oyler famed. Molesworths great play came in the third inning when he ruined Paskert' s hit Dyer was the hitter of the contest, getting three safe ones. Ford will prob ably try conclusions with Wilhelm tomor- row. Wilhelm and OLeary umpired in the absence of regular officials.
