GIANTS IN A FIST FIGHT.
Atlanta Fan" Pummels Mathewson,
Meyers and Bridwell at Ball Park.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 31.-The New
York Giants came near losing the serv-
ices of three Of their star players yester-
day afternoon when they engaged in an
alteration with one Of the Atlanta fans,
the trouble resulting from a kidding
bee'' between the rooter and the New
ork team Wednesday. Chief Meyers
claim that the rooter called him a negro
was the real trouble. Erskine Brewster,
the star rooter Of Atlanta, was the Of
fender. He was playing shortstop during
the batting practice of the Atlanta team
when the Giants arrived at the park. Nc
Graw and his men went to the outf1eld
for q preliminary workout. The New
York manager made some remarks in
passing Brewster which the latter an
swered. The lie was passed, when Christy
Mathewson jumped into the argument,
grabbing Brewster from behind. Brewster
quickly threw big Six" over his head.
Chief Meyers took a hand and Brewster
fioored him with right swing.
Brewster left the field for the Atlanta
bench, with McGraw and his players fol-
lowing and nagging him. Mciraw kept
OH with the argument, when Pitcher Scan
Ion of the Atlanta team engaged in a
wordy argument with McGraw, roasting
him for his tactics. NcGraw turned his
sarcasm on Scanlon and then vented his
spleen on Brewster again. Brewster start
ed after McGraw, the latter retreating,
changed blows, the Giants shortstop get
ting the worst of the argument He was
cut about the mouth and bled profusely.
Mathewson again took a hand, grabbing
Brewster while he was scrapping with
Bridwell, and nearly choking the life out

BY ]. ED GRILLO.

While the question of who will play
first base for the Nationals is still un-
settled. it goes without saying that the
individual who in Manager McAleers
opinion can contribute the most strength
with the bat will be the one to start the
season in that position. The contest for
the place has narrowed down between
John Henry and John Somerlot. 1t is
probably very true that Henry is not his
rivals equal SO far as fielding is con-
cerned, for he has not had the benefit
OF any actual experience. but on his
showing in the practice games lie has dis
played more ability with the bat than has
Somerlot, who gave the impression during
his stay with the team last fall that he
was rather a weak man with the bat.
So far as knowledge Of the game is con-
cerned Somerlot has no superior on the
team. He knows base ball from every
angle and Is particularly strong when on
the bases. But OF course he cannot steal
first base and must do something to reach
there. Now, whether he Is able to hold
his own with the stick remains to be seen,
and Manager McAleer still has nearly two
weeks to watch the two men fighting for
the berth. and one or the other should
prove himself the better of the other in
that time.
Il may be a ong-distance view, but the
scores Of the games the Nationals are

playing make Sam Ralston look rather
good to the average observer for the rea-
son that in nearly every game he has
played he seems to have a habit OF Clean
ing the bases with a long drive. On two
different occa sions he has come along
with home-run drive with the bases full,
and once or twice he has showed a triple
into the field with the bases crowded The
batting averages may not show Ralston
to have made as many hits as some Of
his rivals, but when 1t comes to doing the
sensational with the bat he Is always
very much in evidence.
1t is unfortunate that the club con-
tracted to pay so big a price for Ralston
or 1t could probably afford to carry him
along and take chance on his develop
ment. II must be admitted. however,
that to watch him for a couple Of weeks
would not warrant an expenditure OF
5000 more to retain him. Ralston does
not look like that kind OF a player now
and it Is a gamble whether he would ever
be any better than he is right now.
Wild Conroy has proven himself about
the most consistent hitter during the Ma
tionals training period, and II Is by nc
means unlikely that he will be used IN
full, however, IL Manager McAleer would
have Conroy replace Cunningham at sec:
ond base right at the outset of the sea.

the effect Of discouraging him and for.
ever ruin his chances to make good
